nMeng Yang had gone to the supermarket to buy a few things when he bumped into Yao Ran and the group.

nAs soon as Yao Ran spotted the tall man, she immediately shifted her gaze to somewhere else, pushing her thoughts at the back of her mind. What she didn’t expect was to see the girl beside her do the same, blushing bright red. Her eyes flashed.

n

n

nThat girl was none other than Ruan Qing. Her family had just struck the gold mine, and immediately, her social standing shot right up to the skies. However, while she saw herself as far better compared to her other peers, she was still a few notches off from being a part of the social circle of rich and

npowerful.

nRuan Qing and Lu Yan had a pretty good relationship.

nIt seemed that she also liked Meng Yang.

nYao Ran gazed calculatingly at her friend as a smile slipped into her lips. “Qing Qing, why don’t we eat over there-see if there’s anything that Lu Yan likes to eat?”

nRuan Qing also looked down on Yao Ran. A part of her couldn’t shake off the feeling that the girl was also faking all these niceties. Despite this, she still flashed a hypocritical smile. “Sure.”

n

n

nThe other girls surrounding them followed right behind her.

n“Brother Yang,” Xiao Pang flipped through the snacks. “Sister Tang’s favorite food’s out of stock. Why don’t we buy something else?”

n“Out of stock?” Meng Yang frowned. “Let’s ask the boss. If it’s out of stock, then we’ll tell him to run out buy some more! What kind of store owner allows his products to go out of stock? Does he still want to run a business?”

n‘The comers of Chu Yao’s eyes twitched. “You act as I’ve just given you dynamite. Sister Tang likes sweet things anyway-maybe we can buy a few other snacks here and see if she likes them?”

n“Ah…” The frown on his face dissipated. “Then we’ll buy all of them for her! Also, make sure to get some for Lin Xin, so she wouldn’t have to share hers!”

n

n

nThe group of girls had been standing right behind them this entire time, listening to his every word.

nYao Ran’s expression still hadn’t changed. She still held onto her gentle expression as she rummaged through the shelves for her favorite snacks.

nRuan Qing, on the other hand, was furious.

nDid Meng Yang really like that Yao Tang?

n‘Was there really no hope for her end?

nThe young girl clenched her fists, unable to look at all the bags that Yao Ran had picked out. It was only when the group of guys had left did Ruan Qing finally turn towards her, surprised to see that she was done.

n

n

n“My sister is very beautiful,” Yao Ran said slowly, gazing at Meng Yang’s back. “It’s normal for people to fall head over heels for her.”

nRuan Qing’s expression immediately turned ugly.

nIn the past, she and Meng Yang would occasionally exchange a couple of words here and there. However, ever since that bitch had come into the school perimeters, she never had the chance!

nEveryone in their senior year knew how much she had liked him!

nAnd that Yao Tang still wanted to interfere!

nSeeing the ferocious look on her friend’s face, Yao Ran smiled. “My sister has just been falling behind in her studies. I remember the time she had gotten into this fight once in the past, and it was pretty serious.” She tilted her head. “And with our status, I’m sure the Meng Family wouldn’t be willing to let

nhim see her any longer.”

n‘As soon as the words slipped past her lips, she sighed regretfully. Without another word, she settled the bill and took the bags of food.

nRuan Qing followed the girl, frowning.

nYao Tang had gotten into a fight before?

n

n

nOh right, Teacher Luo had mentioned something about Yao Tang being expelled from her former school!

nOnce her true colors had been exposed, Meng Yang would back off.

nShe was right.

nAfter all, who doesn’t make mistakes? As soon as he realized who he was courting, he’d immediately back off.

nPerhaps he’d even chase her away!

nDuring the second night of the self-study session, Yao Tang appeared. There were only a few other students left, as the others have already gone back to their homes.

n‘When Yao Tang had stepped into the classroom, all eyes were on her. Even Meng Yang, who had been staring from afar, couldn’t stop the grin from spreading across his face. He watched her sit down and carefully made his way over to her.

nYao Tang yawned just a bit, glancing at the clock. Waking up early seriously was taking a toll on her. As soon as Meng Yang had come over, he saw her already take out her pillow and headphones from her bag.

n“Sister Tang,” He sat beside her.

nBurrowing her head in her arms, she lay on her stomach and faced him. Her dark eyes were half-closed as she pursed her lips. “What?”

n‘Meng Yang mirrored her actions almost immediately. “What are you going to do about the conference this Saturday?”

nFrom what he had understood, Yao Tang was an orphan ever since she was little. She might not be able to find anyone who’d go to a parent-teacher conference in her stead. He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness for his friend.

n“Tl just let her know that I wouldn’t be participating in the conference,” Yao Tang said casually.
