Chapter 27: Come back to me

  "Since you're all not idle after school today, then do what you should do. Even if you have any thoughts about that girl..." At this point, Han Di glanced at Xia Xingyun and then turned his head to continue saying to the group of girls, "Also, hide it well in your heart! If you dare to do anything that harms her, I will absolutely not let you off. Remember?"

  Those girls were stunned for a moment, then they all nodded like little chickens pecking at rice.

  Han Di walked back to Xia Xingyun's side with a satisfied look, a bright smile on his face. "Xingxinguo, go home safely~*^_^*"

  "Hmm?... What did you just say to those girls?"

  "Tell me you're jealous and I'll tell you."

  "See you tomorrow."

  “……”

  On the way home, Xia Xingxin met Xi Zhenghuan again at the same location as last time. This was not a coincidence, but rather Xi Zhenghuan had been waiting for her there on purpose.

  "Xīng Xīn!" Xi Zhèng Huàn stepped forward, wanting to hug her.

  Xia Xingxin took a few steps back in disgust, "What are you doing here again?!"

  Xi Zheng Huan dejectedly withdrew his arms, "I came here to wait for you yesterday too, but it seemed like you didn't come home on time yesterday..."

  "This has nothing to do with you!" Xia Xingxin said, preparing to walk around him and continue forward.

  Xi Zheng Huan grasped Xia Xing Yin's arm with one hand, using force to pull her entire body into his own embrace. At the same time, he also tightly wrapped his other hand around her waist. Such a familiar hug... Holding her like this made him feel like he was back in the past, reliving the sweet moments they had shared before.

  "Does it really not matter to me anymore? Xing Xing... come back... please come back... I'm so sad without you by my side..." Xi Zheng Huan said with his head down, sobbing in Xia Xing Xian's ear.

  "Let me go! Let me go, Seo Jeong-hwan."

  "Don't... Xia Xingxin... I don't want to let you go... I love you, Xia Xingxin!"

  “……” is love? Xi Zhenghuan's love? The Xi Zhenghuan who used to only say he liked her, now says he loves her... This was the sentence she had been most expecting him to say, full of expectation and longing, but why... doesn't feel anything anymore... no feelings at all... my heart won't beat like it did when I liked you before... Xi Zhenghuan, I really don't love you anymore...

  "Xīng xīn ah, you also love me, right? My arms are still as warm as before, so come back, return to my side once again..."

  "...can't go back..."

  When he heard Xia Xingyin's answer, Xi Zhenghuan's body trembled slightly.

  "So let me go, Xi Zheng Huan."

  “……”

  Xī Zhèng Huàn's embracing strength loosened a bit, and Xià Xīng Xīn struggled to get out of his arms.

  "I was wrong...Xing Xun...I was wrong...can't you forgive me just this once?..." Xi Zheng Huan cried out to Xia Xing Xun.

  "When I don't like you, it means I have already forgiven you."

  "If you've forgiven me, then I should come back!"

  "It's because I don't have feelings for you that I can forgive you."

  "Xīn ā... what conditions do you want me to meet? What are the conditions for you to come back to me? As long as you say it, I'll definitely do it! Didn't you want me to study hard before? Now I'm studying hard, okay? I'll take the first place in the whole grade and show it to you? And you said you didn't like me drinking, now I've quit drinking, okay? From now on, I won't touch a single drop, okay?"

  "...Xī zhèng huàn...don't be like this...don't make me feel that I'm being cruel to myself...I really can't go back to your side again..."

  "No! You have to come with me! Didn't I say someone is going to hurt you...I know who that person is, only I can protect you from getting hurt by that person, so you have to be by my side, Xing Xin..."

  "No hurt could be worse than when you first betrayed me... so no need for protection... those are things I can endure..."

  "Xīng Xīn......" Xi Zhèng Huàn suddenly grabbed Xiā Xīng Xīn's shoulders.

  "Ah! Ouch! Xizheng Huan, what are you trying to do?!"

  "Xīng Xīn, do you still remember what you said before? 'First kisses are precious, once you give your first kiss to someone, you must love that person well...' Xi Zheng Huan said, his lips slowly approaching Xiāng Xīn..."

  "Hey! Are you crazy?! I don't want to kiss you!" Xia Xingxin wanted to run away, but he was holding her too tightly...

  "No matter what, as long as I get your first kiss... you'll have to..."

  "Hey! Bastard, let her go!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Xi Zhenghuan's words, perfectly fitting into the atmosphere at this moment.

  "Chen Yin Zhi..." Xia Xing Xin looked at the figure that appeared before her eyes, it was him... Chen Yin Zhi. He always managed to appear at his most critical moments...

  "Are you still not letting her go?"

  Although he had stopped moving, Xi Zhenghuan still didn't let go of the hands grasping Xia Xingyun's shoulders. "Who are you?" Looking at this handsome young man in front of him, Xi Zhenghuan couldn't help but feel inferior. Although he himself looked quite good, compared to this guy... it was a world of difference.

  Chen Yinzi didn't answer his words, walked up, lifted one leg and kicked Xizheng Huan's abdomen.

  Xi Zhenghuan was still immersed in his own inferiority complex due to his appearance, and for a moment he didn't react. He was easily kicked to the ground by Chen Yinzi. If he hadn't seen Chen Yinzi retracting her leg, he wouldn't have even known why he had fallen to the ground.

  Chen Yin Zou walked up to Xia Xing Xin and asked with a hint of concern, "Are you okay?" Although his expression was still cold, Xia Xing Xin could sense the concern.

  Xia Xingxin shook his head, "Nothing... how are you here...?" His home isn't even around here.
