Chapter 21

  Zhou Ziran's hand lightly brushed against Cheng Zihan's cheek, and looking at her embarrassed and flushed face, he felt a slight stir in his heart.

  Zhou Ziran is five years older than Cheng Zihan. He came to the second grade this time, also because of an urgent task in his family, and the target of the task was Cheng Zihan, so he came to Shoutou Elementary School and became a transfer student in the second grade, intentionally getting close to Cheng Zihan.

  A thirteen-year-old kid, just at the time when he was beginning to be confused about boys and girls, unexpectedly discovered that he had developed a different kind of feeling towards Cheng Zihuan.

  But he quickly threw away that strange feeling and said gently to Cheng Zihuan, "Zihuan, may I call you that?"

  Cheng Zihan nodded woodenly, without even noticing the calculation in Zhou Ziran's eyes.

  "You're really cute." Zhou Ziran's words were somewhat insincere.

  Cheng Zihan's face turned red again, just as she was about to speak, she heard Mangcang's voice disdainfully echoing in her mind, "Cheng Zihan you big fool! He's obviously playing with you! You can't see it at all? I'll teach you telepathy! Let me show you what this despicable man is thinking!"

  As soon as the sound of Meng Cang's words fell, Cheng Zihan felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if he had really gained some special ability.

  Mind-reading technique? This term was not unfamiliar to Cheng Zihong. She thought for a moment, then looked into Zhou Ziran's eyes and found that she could actually read his thoughts!

  "Hmph, this little girl Cheng Zihan is too easy to fool? Just look at her, she's got a silly expression on her face. Give her a few flirtatious glances and she'll be completely smitten. It shouldn't be hard to get some information out of her. Let's just quickly take care of her and head back."

  Unexpectedly, I can actually read Zhou Ziran's thoughts, but why don't I feel happy at all?

  Looking at Zhou Ziran in front of him with a gentle smile, Cheng Zihan felt that his hypocritical smile was very disgusting for the first time, but in his heart, he was more heartbroken.

  Is this really Zhou Ziran's true face? In the three years they were together, had she never truly seen him before?

  Actually, he got close to himself just to extract some secrets from his own body!

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, calming her excited mood, and her face returned to normal. "Thank you for your compliment, I don't know what you want to talk to me about, Mr. Zhou? Do you want to ask me about math problems?"

  Cheng Zihan's tone was tinged with politeness, but also with indifference and detachment.

  Only in this way can she protect her heart and prevent herself from getting hurt again.

  She just didn't know why, but every time she looked at Zhou Ziran, she couldn't help but feel that the sunny boy was actually a man who was so calculating.

  Zhou Ziran was taken aback, clearly perplexed by Cheng Zihan's sudden change. After a while, he reacted, "No, no. I, I was thinking..."

  It wasn't until now that Zhou Ziran suddenly realized that he didn't even know what he wanted to do.

  He had just thought of a flattering phrase, but now he couldn't bring himself to say it. Under Cheng Zihan's dark and shiny eyes, he felt naked, as if all his secrets were exposed.

  "What's on your mind?" Cheng Zihan read Zhou Ziran's thoughts at this moment, and couldn't help but laugh. After all, Zhou Ziran was still young, no matter how "black" he was, there was still some kindness in his heart. It was probably related to the environment he had lived in since childhood.

  Their family has been in the officialdom for generations, and they have many children. To rise to a higher position and gain recognition, one must have some means, otherwise, they will be ignored and exiled to remote areas, never to be seen again.

  "Cheng Zihan, can we be good friends?" After thinking for a long time, Zhou Ziran finally managed to squeeze out that one sentence. The sentence came somewhat abruptly, but it was what he truly thought in his heart.

  Cheng Zihan found it somewhat amusing and glanced at Zhou Ziran, seeing the latter's momentary guilt, she quickly lowered her head.

  This feeling was really too strange, Zhou Ziran also felt a bit weird in his heart, as if there was something attractive and thrilling that had appeared in Cheng Zihan's body just now.

  "Alright, of course we can be friends. But now we have to go to class, let's talk about being friends later." Cheng Zihan said with a pat on Zhou Ziran's shoulder, then walked towards the classroom.

  Zhou Ziran was stunned for a moment before hurrying to catch up.

  "Cheng Zihan, what else is there to say when making friends?" Zhou Ziran had very few friends since childhood, so he was also curious about Cheng Zihan's words.

  "We'll talk about it later." Cheng Zihan smiled slightly at Zhou Ziran and didn't say anything.

  Class was boring for Cheng Zihan, she dozed off and finished a lesson, finally waited until school was over, not waiting for the teacher to say it's time to go home, she hastily packed up her bag and left the classroom.

  Cheng Zihan always sat in the back, so the teacher didn't notice her slipping away.

  Today's bidding also has news, Cheng Zihan is anxious to go back and ask for the result.
