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

Chapter 131, we've come this far, can we really give up halfway?

By Saturday, the students were starting to relax again, because they could rest after school in the afternoon.

For them, this one chance to rest once a week is a form of salvation.

"Are you really not going?"

"What am I supposed to do if the four of you go on a date? I'm not going, and I have a guild war to fight tomorrow, I'm very busy."

Tang Zhi waved her hand, declining Zhou Heng's invitation.

She knew that the group of them were going out to play tomorrow. After discussing it with Yin Mengran, Zhou Heng felt that they should also invite Tang Zhi, otherwise it would seem like they had made new friends and then abandoned her, which wouldn't be good.

However, Tang Zhi didn't want to go. It wasn't out of politeness, nor was it because she didn't want to be a third wheel; these things were no problem for her at all.

The main reason is that she wants to play games at home, which is much better than going out.

"OK then."

Zhou Heng nodded. Since Tang Zhi had already said so, he didn't need to invite her any further.

After school, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran left the classroom together.

As it turned out, someone was already standing at the classroom door, waiting for them.

"Woqu, why are you always so fast? Is your school dismissal time different from ours?"

Zhou Heng looked at Liao Haomiao at the classroom door and couldn't help but sigh.

They were already very quick; as soon as the school bell rang, they started packing up their things and left the classroom in no more than two minutes.

As it turned out, Liao Haomiao was one step ahead, as if afraid that the two of them would slip away.

“Our two classes are very close to each other. I packed my things three minutes early, and the teacher didn’t keep us in class late, so I ran out as soon as the bell rang because I knew you definitely wouldn’t wait for me.”

Liao Haomiao shrugged and explained casually,

Although he hadn't known Zhou Heng for long, he was naturally good at understanding people, especially someone like Zhou Heng who had no ill intentions; he was even easier to understand.

If he hadn't been blocking the classroom door, Zhou Heng would definitely not have waited for him; he would have left immediately.

Zhou Heng was momentarily speechless, awkwardly turning his head away and stammering:

"I...I wouldn't! We agreed to go shopping together today, I just thought...we could meet up at the mall..."

"See, see, I told you so! You really didn't plan to wait for me."

Liao Haomiao pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

Nevertheless, he could understand Zhou Heng's actions; he had never had many friends, so he didn't value friendship much.

Moreover, now that he has his first love, he has no interest in friends anymore. As long as his girlfriend is still around, friends are secondary.

Seeing her boyfriend being criticized, Yin Mengran quickly stepped forward and said:

"Okay, let's hurry up and go, or the mall will close. Um... where's Zhu Tao? Isn't she coming along too?"

Liao Haomiao didn't intend to press the matter further, so he nodded and walked out with the two of them.

“Yeah, she got out of school 10 minutes earlier than us. I told her we’d meet at the mall entrance, and she should already be on her way there.”

"Okay, let's go quickly then."

The three of them walked out of the school together. Zhou Heng glanced at Liao Haomiao and asked:

How's your injury? Can you get it wet?

Upon hearing this, Liao Haomiao showed Zhou Heng his hands and knees. The scabs had fallen off, leaving faint scars, but other than that, there were no problems.

"It's been four or five days already, and they're just superficial injuries. They'll heal quickly."

"Ah That's good."

After leaving the school, the three went to the bus station, took a bus to the city center, and headed to the shopping mall there.

After a ten-minute drive, the three finally arrived at their destination and headed towards the shopping mall.

Upon arriving at the gate, Liao Haomiao immediately spotted the person he was looking for...

We haven't seen each other since we parted ways last time, as we've both been busy with school.

The two had been chatting on their phones the whole time, eagerly anticipating their meeting for four or five days...

So the moment Liao Haomiao saw Zhu Tao, his heart started beating much faster.

"Bro... I'm a little nervous..."

Liao Haomiao reached out and tugged at Zhou Heng's sleeve, whispering something to him.

"Uh?"

Zhou Heng looked up and saw the girl standing and waiting at the mall entrance.

Wearing a school uniform different from theirs, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, radiating youthful energy, she looked around, searching for the figure she was waiting for.

Zhou Heng slightly raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice:

"Why are you so nervous? It's not like you just met her, and you've already chatted so much on your phone these past few days. Just talk normally when you get there..."

"Dude, chatting on the phone is no different from meeting in person. I only dare to hide behind my phone..."

"You really are... You've come this far, are you going to give up halfway? Hurry up and go!"

Zhou Heng shoved Liao Haomiao, almost knocking him over, causing him to stumble forward.

Liao Haomiao rubbed his shoulder, rolled his eyes at Zhou Heng, and then strode forward toward Zhu Tao.

"Hi...hi!"

When they were still three to five meters apart, Liao Haomiao reached out his hand and waved.

At this moment, Zhu Tao had her back to the camera. Upon hearing the voice, she immediately turned around and saw Liao Haomiao. The moment she saw him, Zhu Tao immediately flashed a bright smile.

She saw that familiar figure, the boy she had missed day and night.

Her body trembled slightly, unable to contain her excitement, her face flushed slightly.

Liao Haomiao was stunned by Zhu Tao's reaction and was momentarily lost in thought.

He looked at the girl; her face was rosy, her eyes were smiling, and her gaze was full of charm, making her exceptionally attractive.

This made him a little timid, and he even began to doubt himself, whether he was worthy of Zhu Tao.

My bookish, nerdy appearance clashes completely with her gentle and lovely image...

After blushing, Zhu Tao quickly composed herself and regained her usual radiance.

"You've arrived..."

She also saw Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran behind Liao Haomiao. After exchanging a glance, they gave each other a brief greeting.

Zhu Tao's gaze involuntarily drifted to Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran's tightly clasped hands...

I couldn't help but feel envious...

She remembered that she and Liao Haomiao had held hands in junior high school... but only a handful of times.

She was very timid back then, even holding hands would make her scared, but she hasn't forgotten that heart-fluttering feeling...
