nChapter 768: Chapter 768: The Pursuit of the Jian Dan Alliance

nXiaoting put down what she was holding and went over to Zhang Yang’s side. “Mr. Zhang, are you okay?” Zhang Yang’s current appearance was really a bit frightening.

nWhen Zhang Yang heard Xiaoting’s words, he didn’t speak but mechanically shook his head.

nFor the first time, Zhang Yang felt what it was like to have his heart broken.

nHe finally understood that bone-chilling pain and why so many people choose to end their lives because of a broken heart.

n“Mr. Zhang, you don’t look fine at all!” In more than two years of high school, Xiaoting had never seen Zhang Yang like this!

nA self-deprecating smile tugged at the corners of Zhang Yang’s mouth.

nSeeing Zhang Yang looking so listless, Xiaoting couldn’t be bothered to say more and went straight to the point, “Mr. Zhang, you like Jian Dan, right?” Zhang Yang looked at Xiaoting with incredulous eyes.

n“Teacher, don’t look so shocked. Did you think you hid it well?

nAnyone with eyes could tell, okay!”

nIf Xiaoting had noticed, did Jian Dan also know that he liked her?

nIf Jian Dan was aware of his feelings for her, then the scene earlier had already proved that she really had no interest in him whatsoever.

nA hint of resignation joined the smile on Zhang Yang’s face.

n“I think you and Jian would make a good couple!” Xiaoting made her stance clear to Zhang Yang.

nBuoyed by Xiaoting’s words, the life in Zhang Yang’s eyes, which had seemed extinguished, reignited with a glimmer of light.

n“What did you just say?”

n“Just the literal meaning!”

n“I am a teacher and she is a student. The two of us together, do you really think that’s okay?” Zhang Yang was somewhat surprised by Xiaoting’s attitude.

nAfter all, since ancient times, teacher-student relationships have been considered a taboo kind of love, with few people willing to accept them.

n“I don’t want to beat around the bush with you. Since you like Jian, you must have noticed that the new Mr. Zhu also seems to have feelings for Jian, right?” Zhang Yang nodded weakly.

nOf course, he had noticed.

nEspecially just now, it was painfully clear.

n“I don’t like Mr. Zhu. Compared to Jian being with him, I think you’re the one who’s more suitable to be her boyfriend.”

n“You seem to have some animosity towards Mr. Zhu!”

n“I just can’t stand it. He’s already married, and yet he’s sending those kinds of signals to Jian.”

nRight! How could he forget that Mr. Zhu was already married!

nWith this thought, his chances seemed much greater.

nEspecially now that even Jian’s close friend was on his side, his odds of winning had just gotten bigger.

nColor finally returned to Zhang Yang’s face.

n“Thankyou, Xiaoting!”

n“I’ll do my best to create opportunities for you two. Whether you can seize them, that’s up to you!” Xiaoting said earnestly to Zhang Yang. “If you do become Jian’s boyfriend in the future, will you always be good to her?”

n“I swear!”

n“Good!”

nThe two reached an understanding.

nAfter speaking with Zhang Yang, Xiaoting returned to Jian Dan’s side, who was currently focusing on skewering meat.

n“What were you whispering to Mr. Zhang about? You’ve been gone for so long?” Jian Dan asked without looking up.

n“We weren’t whispering about anything!”

n“No whispering? As soon as Mr. Zhang returned, you hurried over to him, and you talked for so long. I don’t believe there’s nothing going on between you two!

nSpill it! Are you secretly having an affair with Mr. Zhang?” Jian Dan raised an eyebrow.

n“Jian, don’t talk nonsense. How could there be anything between me and Zhang Yang?”

n“Oh, come on, you’re already on a first-name basis and you still say nothing’s going on!” Jian Dan acted as if she had caught someone in the act.

n“Really, there’s nothing like that between us!” Xiaoting explained hastily.

n“Nothing like that, huh? Then what is it?”

nXiaoting suddenly felt as if no matter what she said, she couldn’t make herself clear.

nHow had things suddenly gotten so twisted?

nThis was not at all what she had imagined!

n“Alright, alright, I won’t pressure you anymore. I know the two of you are in a special situation and it’s not the right time to go public.. Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret!” Jian Dan gestured zipping her lips with her hand…
