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

Chapter 35 No, I won't accept his gift.

"I'm sure! I'm sure! Aren't they good friends? It's perfectly normal for her to know where Yin Mengran lives..."

Lu Yunshuo felt relieved that he had gotten away with it and was also glad that he had reacted quickly enough!

Tang Zhi snorted coldly, turned her head to glance at the gift in Lu Yunshuo's hand, and held out her hand, saying:

"Give it to me, I'll take it in for you."

"Ah, no... this..."

"What? Are you going to deliver it or not?"

Tang Zhi raised her crescent-shaped eyebrows, a slightly contemptuous expression on her face, as if to express her disdain for them.

Lu Yunshuo couldn't stand this kind of expression, especially when it was a girl making such an expression!

In a fit of anger and frustration, he handed over the gift, saying:

"Okay, then you can leave it to her."

Liang Jiaxiang, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at Lu Yunshuo with an expression of utter disbelief.

Did he not listen to what I just said at all?

Tang Zhi didn't hesitate; she took the gift and headed towards the door.

Liang Jiaxiang wanted to say something, but Lu Yunshuo didn't give him a chance. He shoved him into the elevator and prepared to leave.

He was afraid that if he opened the door, Yin Mengran would see him, and he wouldn't be able to explain how he knew about her family.

"Bang bang—"

Tang Zhi knocked on the door, and then heard footsteps inside. As the door opened, Yin Mengran stood there.

"Tang Zhi? You're here!"

Upon seeing Tang Zhi, Yin Mengran's face lit up with a bright smile; she was overjoyed.

"Hmm, where's Zhou Heng?"

"He's studying; we just finished breakfast."

Tang Zhi entered the room and saw Zhou Heng studying at the table.

She put down the other things she was carrying, picked up a paper bag, walked over, and placed it on the table.

Zhou Heng looked up and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"My mom knew I was coming to visit you, so she asked me to bring you some food. Honestly... it's so heavy."

Tang Zhi stretched her aching shoulders and carried these things over; she was exhausted.

Zhou Heng peeked into the bag; it was full of all sorts of food: fruits, pastries, melon seeds, peanuts, eight-treasure porridge, and more.

"Yes, please thank Auntie for me."

Zhou Heng put the paper bag on the ground and continued studying.

Tang Zhi glanced at the exercise book on the table and said, "Yin Mengran and I are going to play first, we won't wait for you."

"Ah, you guys go and have fun first."

Zhou Heng waved his hand. He saw Tang Zhi had brought out a PS5. Although he really wanted to play it, his priority right now was to study.

Then, strictly adhere to the rule of balancing work and rest, and then go play for a while longer.

Yin Mengran didn't recognize what it was; it looked quite large. However, she noticed another box nearby...

That box looks like a gift box. Did Tang Zhi bring it? Who is it for?

"This is..."

Yin Mengran picked up the gift box and looked at Tang Zhi, asking her a question.

Tang Zhi looked up and replied, "Oh, well, I ran into two swindlers at the door, and one of them gave it to you."

"fraud?"

"Yes, one is the class's sports representative, and the other is the class's life representative."

"What?" Yin Mengran didn't react for a moment, and then asked:

"Lu Yunshuo and Liang Jiaxiang? They're liars? No... they were just at the door?!"

"Hmm, the sports committee member is a complete liar. He lies without batting an eye. He said he found out you lived here from Tong Yining. I think he was the one who was following you."

Tang Zhi's face showed disgust; such an obvious lie made her want to vomit.

If this really were Yin Mengran's home, she might believe the lie.

The problem is, this isn't the place! This is Zhou Heng's house. How could Tong Yining possibly know that Yin Mengran lives at Zhou Heng's house? Isn't this blatantly treating her like a fool?

If someone followed another person to their doorstep and then secretly delivered a gift, she would definitely call the police.

Looking at the gift in her hand, Yin Mengran couldn't help but frown.

She hadn't expected Lu Yunshuo to be this kind of person. This wasn't her home; this was Zhou Heng's home.

This would undoubtedly cause trouble for Zhou Heng, which would be the same as causing trouble for himself!

Zhou Heng put down his pen, looked up at the two of them, as if he were pondering something.

Then, he reached out his hand, looked at Tang Zhi, and asked softly, "Um, does Lu Yunshuo like her?"

"Yes, the whole class knows, even I know, but you don't?"

"I do not know."

Zhou Heng shook his head, his face sincere, not at all like he was lying.

After all, he genuinely didn't know; about a week ago, he was completely unfamiliar with both Yin Mengran and Lu Yunshuo.

At that time, his daily routine consisted of going to school, confessing his feelings to Tong Yining, and then playing games and exercising when he got home. He had no time to care about other people's affairs.

Therefore, he was completely unaware of these "secrets" that were common knowledge in the class.

"I do not like him!"

Yin Mengran blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice strong and firm!

Tang Zhi and Zhou Heng were both stunned, looking at Yin Mengran with blank expressions. Her reaction was as if she was in a hurry to explain.

Yin Mengran seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit too intense. Two red blushes suddenly rose on her cheeks, and the redness spread from her cheeks to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Ah... okay."

Zhou Heng nodded, and stammered a reply.

In his view, Yin Mengran's reaction meant she must really dislike Lu Yunshuo, which was why she was in such a hurry to explain...

Tang Zhi shook her head and said, "Let's not worry about that for now, let's open the gift and take a look."

"No, I won't accept his gift."

"Even if you're going to throw it away, you should at least open it and take a look, right? When you go to school, he'll ask you if you received a gift and if you like it. You won't even know what's inside, so you won't be able to answer."

"If you're like us and don't care about other people's opinions and views, then do as you please. But aren't you the class monitor? You have to maintain good relationships with everyone."

Hearing Tang Zhi's words, Yin Mengran hesitated for a moment.

She definitely didn't intend to accept it, but Tang Zhi's words made some sense. As the class monitor, it was very important for her to maintain the relationships within the class. If a division arose within the class, it would be a dereliction of duty on her part.

"If you ask me, just take a look. If you really don't like it, return it to him when you go to school. If you look at it and then return it, it means you don't like the gift, and he can't say anything."

"okay."

Yin Mengran nodded, agreeing with Tang Zhi's suggestion.

At this point, Zhou Heng couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and went over, wanting to see what gift Lu Yunshuo had brought.

Compare this to the gifts he bought for Tong Yining before, and see how they differ.

If the gift you buy is really good, he can take inspiration from it and learn from it.
