Chapter 27: A Year's Worth of Confession (2)

  Lu Haichen remained motionless for a long time, and Yao Xixi couldn't help but feel restless.

  After all, with so many classmates watching, being ignored and rejected by a boy should be one of the most unbearable things for a girl.

  She forced a smile and pushed the Coke glass closer to Lu Haichen, softly persuading him: "Lu Haichen, have a drink, I'm treating."

  Upon hearing this, Lu Haochen didn't even glance at her and directly filtered out these words from his ears.

  The laughter in the crowd became more and more unscrupulous.

  Yao Xixi's face turned pale, her lips tightly pursed, and her hands clenched at her sides. Her body trembled slightly with discomfort, but on her face, she still maintained a smile as usual, only that the smile had a few more stiff flavors.

  "Lu Haocen..." In her anxiety, she couldn't help but reach out and grab Lu Haocen's collar.

  Feeling his clothes being slightly tugged, Lu Haochen's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. After a long while, he turned his head and stared at the crumpled clothes in Yao Xixi's hand, saying coldly:

  "Let go——!"

  His voice was rough and cold, icy without a hint of emotion, like an irresistible command.

  Yao Xixi's body couldn't help but tremble, probably scared out of her wits. However, the classmates around her were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and having already boasted beforehand, if she backed down now... wouldn't that be even more humiliating?

  She clenched her teeth silently, and the hope in her heart drove those somewhat pale hands to clench again.

  She doesn't want to give up, she wants to try again... just one more time...

  She pulled Lu Haichen's collar stubbornly, her eyes were persistent, but her tone was endearing: "Lu Haichen..."

  Lu Haochen closed his eyes, seemingly unable to tolerate Yao Xixi's entanglement. Finally, he coldly pulled his collar out of Yao Xixi's hand and jumped up from his seat with a "bang".

  Then, something unexpected happened ——

  The Coca-Cola that had been quietly placed in front of Lu Haochen was picked up, and the icy dark brown liquid poured down on Yao Xixi's head like rain, not a single drop left!

  Ah——

  A collective gasp of astonishment rose from the crowd.

  Bai Xueya, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of her!

  This Lu Haocen! Is his heart made of stone? So ruthless?! He actually splashed a drink on the girl's face in broad daylight!

  That's ruthless!

  Under the gaze of her classmates, either mocking or sympathetic, Yao Xixi stood upright.

  Her black, shiny short hair was plastered to her head, and drops of cola trickled down her hair, falling onto her equally drenched school uniform. At her feet, even the ice cubes from the cola had shattered into a thousand pieces, sparkling like broken glass, mockingly reflecting her disheveled state.

  She closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks.

  A long time ago—

  "Get out of here..." He coldly threw down these few words, and under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Lu Haochen took a step forward, his eyes icy as he left the crowd.

  Jin was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

  Faced with Lu Haochen's unbelievable behavior, he could only watch quietly. Because this guy might sprinkle his anger on him at any time.

  This girl is quite pitiful...

  He shook his head helplessly and walked past Yao Xixi, suddenly remembering something, took out a paper towel from his pocket and let her wipe it clean.

  Yao Xixi seemed to have lost her soul, like a discarded broken doll, just standing there stupidly, at a loss for what to do.

  Jin shook his head and left with a faint sigh.

  The classmates who came to watch the commotion either jeered or showed sympathy, pointing and discussing for a while before ultimately leaving uninterestedly like the audience of a fallen movie.
