I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 59 Even if you're lying to me, I'll accept it.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng's thick, dark eyebrows furrowed instantly, and he took a step forward.

Startled, Kong Yue immediately took a step back, covering his head with his hands, fearing that Zhou Heng was there to hit him.

"Hey! A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

It wasn't just Zhou Heng who reacted strongly; displeasure was also evident on Yin Mengran's face.

After all, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to ask anyone for help, but he just happened to ask the last person he should have.

Isn't this reopening Zhou Heng's wounds?

It makes one wonder if he's here to cause trouble for no reason?

"I can't help you, go find someone else."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, then turned and left.

He said that asking Kong Yue to buy that skin was just a joke; how could he possibly extort a classmate for helping with a small favor?

Originally, Zhou Heng intended to discourage him, but seeing his persistence, he agreed and didn't plan to ask for it back later.

I thought it was nothing serious, but who knew Kong Yue would actually dare to speak his mind?

Why ask him for this favor? If he can get Tong Yining to come out, why didn't he do it before? Did he not want to?

"No! Brother! Please help me, I really have no other choice."

Kong Yue hurriedly chased after him, his face looking as if he were about to cry, his hands clasped together, pleading desperately.

He knew that the success rate of asking Zhou Heng to do this was not high, but after thinking it over, it seemed that there was no one else suitable besides Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng's face showed impatience, and he was about to say something when Yin Mengran suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way.

"If you can't get a date yourself, how can you expect to succeed by asking someone else for help? Even if you do manage to get a date, it's probably only because of Zhou Heng. Do you think there's any point in you even getting a date then?"

"this..."

Upon hearing Yin Mengran's words, Kong Yue was speechless, as if his tongue had tied itself in knots.

He couldn't find any rebuttal, because what Yin Mengran said did make sense. He felt that getting Tong Yining out of the room was half the battle won.

But now that I think about it, it seems like being able to get a date is just the beginning. If you can't even get a date, what else is there to talk about?

"Did you understand? Don't come to me with this kind of thing again."

Zhou Heng pushed Kong Yue aside and walked straight ahead.

Kong Yue stood there, stunned, and sighed helplessly, his spirits plummeting.

His last remaining hope has been shattered, and now he doesn't know what to do or whether he should give up.

Yin Mengran didn't rush to leave. Only after Zhou Heng had left did she whisper to Kong Yue:

"You should have a chance, don't give up, maybe you'll succeed?"

"real?!"

Kong Yue suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up. The hope that had just been extinguished was rekindled by Yin Mengran's words!

"Ah...really, you...good luck."

After Yin Mengran finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

To be honest, she didn't know if it was true or not, because she was just making it up...

Her purpose in saying this was mainly because Zhou Heng had previously asked her to try and bring Tong Yining and Kong Yue together.

Although she didn't understand why, she still obediently did as she was told, because if Kong Yue went to bother Tong Yining, then Tong Yining wouldn't have a chance to bother Zhou Heng.

"Oh--"

Kong Yue smiled knowingly. After all, even someone like Yin Mengran had said so, so he had no reason not to believe her.

In other words, you actually have a good chance and there's no need to ask others for help?

"I got it!"

Kong Yue suddenly understood, a confident smile returned to his face, and he walked into the teaching building.

The morning exams began quickly; the students entered the exam hall and started taking the tests.

Zhou Heng's mindset was much better than yesterday, and he was more relaxed when answering questions, unlike yesterday when his palms were sweating as he wrote.

After the morning exams ended, everyone prepared for lunch.

Zhou Heng returned to the classroom and prepared to go back to his seat for lunch, only to find that Yin Mengran and Tang Zhi were already sitting there and eating.

When Yin Mengran saw Zhou Heng walk into the classroom, she immediately smiled and waved to him.

Zhou Heng returned to his seat and muttered, "It's great that you don't have to worry about your grades."

The two women beside him, Yin Mengran and Tang Zhi, were in completely different states from him.

For them, the exams these past two days were no different from regular school days; they felt neither nervous nor worried.

He also admired Yin Mengran's mentality, because if he were the top student in the class, he would never dare to relax, fearing that he would be surpassed or trampled by others.

Falling from being first in the class must have been a huge shock, but Yin Mengran showed no signs of nervousness at all, as if she didn't care about it at all.

Tang Zhi casually picked up the fried egg from Zhou Heng's lunchbox with her chopsticks and said:

"It's your own fault for not studying hard before. You're not stupid. If you had studied, you wouldn't be any worse than us."

Then, she took a bite of the fried egg, looked at Yin Mengran, and asked, "Did you make this?"

"Mmm! Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

Zhou Heng shook his head, rolled his eyes at Tang Zhi, and said, "You're saying this kind of useless comforting thing again, saying that I'm no worse than anyone else. I'm tired of hearing it from childhood to adulthood."

Tang Zhi's expression remained calm as she spoke softly:

"I'm telling the truth. How bad can someone be if they can beat me?"

"..."

Zhou Heng suddenly paused, stared at Tang Zhi for a few seconds, and remained silent.

At this moment, Yin Mengran nodded and echoed, "I think so too. You're not lacking in any way, in every aspect. Well... at least... that's what I think."

Zhou Heng fell silent for a moment before speaking:

"Fine, even if you're lying to me, I'll accept it. Thank you."

Tang Zhi and Yin Mengran exchanged a knowing smile, and Zhou Heng's lips also curved slightly when he saw this.

After a while, Tang Zhi, who was eating, suddenly said:

“Zhou Heng, my mom asked me yesterday if there was any dish you wanted to eat, so she could prepare it in advance and cook it when you come to my house this weekend.”

"Ah, I almost forgot about that if you hadn't mentioned it. I'm fine with anything, there's nothing I particularly crave."

Zhou Heng suddenly remembered that he had promised to go to Tang Zhi's house on the weekend; he had almost forgotten.

Upon hearing this, Yin Mengran silently lowered her head. She thought about how she must have been at home that day, and wondered when Zhou Heng would be back...

Just then, Tang Zhi looked at Yin Mengran, changed the subject, and said:

"By the way, you should come with Zhou Heng too."
