Chapter 86: Give Me a Reason
Chapter Eighty-Seven: Give Me a Reason
Qing Tian dragged herself, ready to return to the classroom. Just as she reached the stairwell, Ji Xiangyu caught up. She grabbed Qing Tian’s hand and asked, “Why?”
Qing Tian looked at her hand being pulled, thinking about how this hand had just been linked with another woman. She felt uncomfortable. She pushed Ji Xiangyu’s hand away and said coldly, “There’s no why. It’s just as you saw!”
After speaking, she walked towards the stairs. She really didn’t want to explain anything now. If it was going to end, it should be sooner rather than later!
Ji Xiangyu didn’t believe her and directly pulled Qing Tian into his embrace. Qing Tian’s mind went blank. This was clearly a public place, and others could appear at any moment. How could Ji Xiangyu be so irrational?
She struggled to get out of his embrace, but Ji Xiangyu held her even tighter. Qing Tian said helplessly, “Ji Xiangyu, let’s talk properly!”
Ji Xiangyu refused, “Talking properly won’t clear things up!”
Qing Tian became even more helpless, “But this way, we can’t talk properly at all!”
Ji Xiangyu finally noticed his rashness and immediately let go of Qing Tian, saying with a face full of apology, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. That, I was just anxious for a moment… This feeling is really unbearable!”
Qing Tian stood in place, silent. Her heart was also in turmoil. She couldn’t calm down either, but how could she act according to her own feelings?
Ji Xiangyu stepped forward, holding Qing Tian’s hand, and asked pleadingly, “Can we meet at noon?”
Qing Tian refused with difficulty, “I have an urgent matter at noon!”
After hearing this, Ji Xiangyu changed his tune, “Then let me take you home after school this afternoon. You had an accident yesterday, I’m afraid…”
He didn’t finish his sentence. Qing Tian asked in confusion, “How did you know I had an accident?”
Ji Xiangyu was silent for a moment before saying, “Qin Hailan called me and said you had an accident at school!”
Qing Tian’s heart was filled with even more doubt. How did Qin Hailan know? Could she be the one who did it? It didn’t make sense; why would she expose herself?
Qing Tian thought back and suddenly remembered seeing a blurry figure when she fainted. Could that person be Qin Hailan?
But why didn’t she save herself?
Heavy mysteries surrounded Qing Tian. She didn’t want to think about it; her head hurt when she did!
Just as she was about to ask something, Situ Jingyi walked over with light steps. Qing Tian looked at Situ Jingyi’s beautiful gait, and her sense of loss grew stronger.
When Situ Jingyi reached them, she immediately extended her hand and said to Qing Tian with a gentle smile, “Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Situ Jingyi!”
Qing Tian numbly extended her hand and shook hers, “Hello, I… my name is Qing Tian!”
Qing Tian didn’t want to talk to her much, but that gentle smile was really hard to refuse.
Situ Jingyi intimately linked her arm with Ji Xiangyu’s and then leaned on him, saying, “Oh, I forgot to mention. I’m a second-year student who just transferred to First High School.”
Qing Tian looked at her intimate actions with Ji Xiangyu, then at Ji Xiangyu, who didn’t reject Situ Jingyi at all. After hearing Situ Jingyi’s words, she was even more stunned, and then her tone became unnatural as she said, “Oh, new classmate, First High School welcomes you!”
Situ Jingyi replied sweetly, “Thank you!”
Qing Tian felt terrible, truly terrible. If she didn’t leave now, she would truly die on the spot. So, she hurriedly said, “Um, I’m going back to the classroom!”
After saying that, she immediately turned and fled apologetically.
Once she was truly out of their sight, Qing Tian stood by the wall and took a deep, dejected breath. See, handsome guys really do look better with beautiful women!
Ji Xiangyu watched in the direction Qing Tian had disappeared, frowning with his lips tightly shut.
Situ Jingyi asked with concern, “Yu, are you okay?”
Ji Xiangyu snapped back to attention and casually said, “I’m tired. I’m going back to the classroom!”
Situ Jingyi said gently and considerately, “Okay, I’ll go campaigning first. Yu, you have to keep up the good work!”
Ji Xiangyu looked at Situ Jingyi’s gentle smile and smiled back.
At noon, as soon as Qing Tian finished class, Xia Yang called her away. Xia Yang had his subordinates order several fast-food meals from outside, and then they ate deliciously in the cafeteria.
Song Shishi was also there. She hadn’t been close to Li Minghao lately, but she was very close to Huzi. Qing Tian looked at the two people playfully bickering with some worry, feeling uneasy.
Xia Yang gave Qing Tian all his delicious dishes, picking them out and saying, “Qing Tian, eat more. Also, you need to exercise more. Look how weak you are, I can’t help but want to protect you every moment!”
Qing Tian smiled awkwardly after hearing this, “If I eat too much and get fat, won’t I be even slower?”
Huzi chimed in with a laugh, “Big Brother, stop arguing with Sister Qing. Do you remember what Sister Qing said when we first met?”
Everyone looked at Huzi. Huzi imitatively mimicked Qing Tian’s expression at the time and said, “Shishi, we don’t need to bother with petty people. If petty people block our way, we just go around them!”
Huzi’s imitation was very vivid, making everyone burst into laughter. Qing Tian said with a bit of embarrassment, “Was I that fierce? I was clearly very gentle!”
Qing Tian’s remark made everyone laugh even harder. Xia Yang put his arm around Qing Tian’s shoulder and, like a big brother, lectured, “Did you hear that? Qing Tian has spoken. Don’t bring this up again!”
Qing Tian was even more embarrassed. Xia Yang added, “But I thought at the time, this girl was really cool!”
Xia Yang’s remark further livened up the atmosphere, and everyone ate and chatted happily.
Qing Tian was also influenced by the relaxed atmosphere and chatted and laughed with Xia Yang and the others.
She even snatched food from Xia Yang, but in the end, she always easily got the delicious dishes.
Qin Hailan and her group, sitting not far away, watched the harmonious atmosphere between Xia Yang, Song Shishi, and Qing Tian. They had the urge to break their chopsticks, but unfortunately, the chopsticks in the cafeteria were all made of stainless steel.
Just as Qing Tian was feeding Xia Yang a bite of food, Ji Xiangyu, Situ Jingyi, and Ji Weiwei walked in from the cafeteria entrance. Ji Xiangyu was at the front. As soon as he entered, he saw the intimate actions between Qing Tian and Xia Yang. He froze on the spot, watching them!
Ji Weiwei almost bumped into Ji Xiangyu and said with grievance, “Brother Yu, why did you stop for no reason?”
As soon as she spoke, she saw Situ Jingyi pointing at Xia Yang and the others not far away. Ji Weiwei saw Qing Tian and Song Shishi, especially the intimate behavior between Song Shishi and Huzi. She felt angry. Had this Song Shishi finished with Li Minghao? Was she tired of him?
The expressions of the Ji siblings were very strange. Only Situ Jingyi still had a gentle and lovely smile on her face. She walked with elegant steps towards Xia Yang’s large table.
She widened her big eyes and called out in a voice as gentle as water, “Xia Yang, long time no see!”
The moment Xia Yang heard Situ Jingyi’s call, he paused his actions. Why had this woman returned to the country?
Situ Jingyi also saw Qing Tian and said to her, “What a coincidence, meeting again here!”
Qing Tian just gave an awkward smile. On the other hand, Song Shishi said unhappily, “Of course, everyone comes to the cafeteria to eat. What’s so coincidental? That line is outdated!”
Qing Tian glared at Song Shishi, then apologized to Situ Jingyi, “Shishi speaks without thinking!”
Situ Jingyi faced them with a smile, “It’s okay. This little thing isn’t enough to warrant my attention!”
Song Shishi threw down her chopsticks and flicked at Situ Jingyi, “You’re really disgusting!”
After saying that, she ran off with a few sisters, leaving Qing Tian there awkwardly unsure whether to laugh or smile or laugh. This Situ Jingyi seemed to have only one expression, which was smiling!
As a result, Qing Tian didn’t know what expression to put on when facing her!
