SEVEN YEARS WITHOUT YOU, VOLUME 4 - SEASON 48 EPISODE 18

Zhu Lingling’s question stumped the boy.

He did not go out to save her back then because he felt embarrassed. After all, it was a matter between women.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaoying’s family had always had influence in the underworld, so he indeed had some concerns.

Now that Jiang Xiaoying was very close to a man in society, their relationship was about to collapse.

Although they hadn’t broken up yet, they weren’t far from it.

Xing Yan wasn’t an idiot, so he wanted to use this opportunity to pretend to be a good person in front of Zhu Lingling.

He wanted to make her feel that he broke up with Jiang Xiaoying because of her.

Even though Zhu Lingling was a straightforward person, she wasn’t stupid, so she naturally wouldn’t let him have his way.

“I’m sorry about what happened the other day… As a guy, I really can’t participate in a fight between girls…”

“Haha, so a person like you is really not suited to be a boyfriend. If I were to encounter danger in the future and get beaten up by a group of girls… would you still not stand up for me?”

“I…”

“Okay, there’s nothing going on between us anyway… You won’t have to be anxious in the future.”

Zhu Lingling didn’t want to waste any more time talking to him, so she turned around and headed upstairs.

As Gao Ran and Qin Chu walked back, they heard rumors in the hallway.

“Hey, have you guys heard… the basketball captain confessed to the class belle of Class One?”

“The belle of Class One? Who? Zhu Lingling?”

“Yes, it’s her. The two of them are quite compatible… But did the basketball captain break up with the cheerleader?”

Upon hearing this, Gao Ran froze.

“Zhu Lingling is together with Xing Yan?” he asked Qin Chu.

“How would I know?” Mr. Qin looked innocent.

“F*ck, is Zhu Lingling blind? That Xing Yan looks tall and strong, but he’s actually a coward… Why would she like a man like him?”

“It’s Zhu Lingling’s matter, why are you so worked up?” Qin Chu looked at him.

“I… I was just trying to defend the girl in your class,” Gao Ran argued.

“Really? I think you’re just unwilling to accept this…”

“You must be joking, what’s there to be unhappy about? I don’t like that girl in your class either. She’s so mainstream… I bet Zhu Lingling isn’t even as good as Huo Mian… She only knows how to hook up with guys… She’s so troublesome. Anyone who marries her will be cuckolded…”

As soon as Gao Ran finished speaking, someone kicked him from behind.

The kick was so powerful that he almost fell to the ground.

“F*ck… who is it…”

Gao Ran turned around and raised his fist.

When he saw Zhu Lingling’s face, he immediately cowered.

“Um… what a coincidence…” Gao Ran felt guilty.

“Hey, you’re old enough to be a man now, and you’re talking bad about girls behind their backs. Do you want a hit?” Zhu Lingling crossed her arms.

If she hadn’t gone to the washroom before class, she wouldn’t have heard him badmouthing her.

Beside Zhu Lingling, Huo Mian only smiled.

Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian gently.

“Ahem… um, it’s a misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding my ass… Gao Ran, your mouth is too small, do you want me to rip it wider?”

Zhu Lingling was famous for her temperament throughout the entire grade.

Gao Ran didn’t want to have a conflict with her, so he quickly apologized.

“Gorgeous beauty… I didn’t mean what I said… You’re someone with great tolerance, you shouldn’t take offense, haha…” Gao Ran bowed and apologized.

“Gao Ran, are you in love with me? Otherwise, why are you always talking about me?” Zhu Lingling didn’t care at all.

The surrounding students immediately gave him strange looks…

Gao Ran immediately blushed…
