Chapter 33 - 33: Was She Flirting?
Ling Fei’er’s face paled instantly. “What nonsense are you sprouting? I didn’t post that!”
Ling Fei’er raised her chin and said with ridicule in her eyes, “You just have to admit if have you said this or not?”
Wen Ruan smiled. “Yes, I did.”
“Seems like that post was true. Wen Ruan, aren’t you inviting ridicule from all of us? Not only you, even our form teacher and our classmates were scorned due to this!”
“This is truly one rotten apple spoiling the barrel.”
A loud bang sounded as soon as Ling Fei’er finished speaking.
Huo Hannian, who was playing his game, slammed his phone on the desk. He threw a dark and cold glance at Ling Fei’er. “How much longer are you going to fu*king stand here for?”
Ling Fei’er was taken aback.
Looking at the youth who was full of hostility and disgust, a chill rose up her spine.
W-was he talking to her?
Ling Fei’er had alway been proud as all the boys in class revolved around her. No one had been harsh to her or ignored her before. But Huo Hannian had just done both these things.
Tears began to gather in her eyes and her eyelashes trembled. “Huo Hannian, are you talking to me?”
Huo Hannian didn’t have an ounce of sympathy for Ling Fei’er, who was about to cry. He spat out a word coldly. “Scram.”
Ling Fei’er’s pursed lips were quivering as she hugged the workbook. She stomped her feet trying to hold back the tears which were falling down uncontrollably. “You are too much, Huo Hannian!”
Then, she ran out of the classroom.
Wen Ruan put her head on the desk and shifted her gaze toward Huo Hannian.
Half of her face was resting on her arm while the other half showed her smile, with a dimple peeking out of her cheek. There was a faint strawberry scent emitting from her. She looked at him with her big and bright eyes. “So, the word ‘scram’ is your mantra!”
Huo Hannian held his tongue against his molars and looked at her with a dark expression. “Your flirting doesn’t work on me!”
Wen Ruan was stunned by his words.
Did he misunderstand her actions because of that note?
Was he always going to think that she was tempting him, no matter what she did?
Wen Ruan pushed back her ponytail that had fallen on her shoulders and blinked her long lashes. “I am not flirting.”
Then, she murmured softly. “I don’t look like this when I flirt.”
Huo Hannian’s strong chin suddenly became taut as he picked up his phone. He didn’t bother to look up again.
After a while, a girl’s soft voice appeared next to his ear. “Classmate Huo… you are holding the cell phone upside down.”
Huo Hannian kept the phone in his pocket and left his seat with a sullen expression.
The school bell rang and the form teacher walked in. She said to the tall and thin youth who was walking out, “Where are you going, Huo Hannian?”
The youth strode out of the classroom as if he hadn’t heard the teacher.
Mingkai who was sitting at the back said, “Teacher, he’s going to the toilet.”
The form teacher furrowed her brows, feeling very disappointed with these lousy students. These people would simply leech off their parents after they graduated.
After the first period, the form teacher left the classroom and went back to the office.
The form teacher of Class 1, Zhou Liping, said smilingly, “Miss Li, I heard that Wen Ruan from your class said she wants to be in the top three for this monthly test. I will really have to congratulate you if she does make it into the top three. You would have finally managed to make a poor student into a good student after teaching for so many years!”
