Chapter 89: You Win

  Jiang Yan's words dropped a heavy stone in Xia Xixi's heart, according to her meaning, Chen Yan broke up with Jiang Yan because of herself? What kind of thing is this, how did she not know at all, although there were doubts in her mind, but it was not good to interrupt in this situation.

  The three of them suddenly had nothing to say and stood there awkwardly.

  Faced with Jiang Yan's questioning, Chen Yan had nothing to say. His actions today were indeed impulsive and lacking in consideration. He just didn't want to see her at a disadvantage, but he hadn't considered Jiang Yan's own thoughts. He suddenly realized that he had hurt her so deeply before.

  Chen Yan, who had never regretted anything he had done before, felt a pang of guilt towards someone for the first time. He wanted to do something for Jiang Yan to make himself feel better, but apparently that proud girl didn't accept his kindness, her cold expression told him: Please don't bother me again.

  Chen Yan didn't know that he had already committed a major taboo in interpersonal relationships. The person he secretly liked was standing beside him, but because of the lingering reluctance in his heart and the entanglement with past events, the consequence of this behavior was that Xia Xi and Jiang Yan both looked unhappy at this time.

  He silently sighed, "No matter what you think of me or how you look at me, from a friend's perspective, there is one thing I must remind you: girls must learn to protect themselves."

  "Thank you for your kindness." Jiang Yanqiang forced out these words, biting her teeth and holding back the tears in her eyes. "One must protect oneself, especially a girl like me who has no one to love her, and take good care of oneself."

  She gave Xia Xixi a cold glance, with a spark of jealousy in her eyes, but the spark hadn't grown strong enough to start a prairie fire before it was extinguished by the misty air around her.

  Jiang Yan turned her face away and hastily left without even saying goodbye.

  Xia Xi watched as the purple, seductive skirt fluttered away like a butterfly, unable to discern what was in her heart. She thought Jiang Yan had always been the winner, but Jiang Yan claimed that she and Chen Yan were humiliating her. The unclear thread, the unbreakable knot, the bell can only be untied by the one who tied it, yet this person is also silent like her.

  His silence made her very unhappy.

  She stood there for a long time before she realized that her wrist was still being held by Chen Yan. Subconsciously, she tried to break free and leave the awkward situation behind, but Chen Yan stopped her again.

  "Thank you for your thoughtful guidance, I should be going." The indifference in her words surprised Xia Xi herself, let alone Chen Yan.

  "Don't go." His tone was unmistakable.

  If Xia Xike had patiently noticed Chen Yan's expression at this moment, she would have found that his overbearing manner was accompanied by a hint of pleading sadness, but at this time her negative emotions had reached an extreme, and she impatiently said a sentence.

  "It's none of your business."

  Are you angry?

  "Hehe" Xi Xi sneered, why did every person's emotions have to be controlled by him, why could he arbitrarily treat a person as an object to gamble with, if she were Jiang Yan, wouldn't what she got also be his excuse for humiliation under the guise of kindness? At this moment, she was extremely disgusted by Chen Yan's overbearing behavior, thinking that her emotions could be influenced by him, she deliberately didn't want to cater to his wishes.

  "Chen Yan, you're overestimating yourself. I'm telling you, not everyone lives under your control. You may have won over Yuan Rui and Jiang Yan, but you'll never win me over!" Her words were like a slap in the face, defiantly telling Chen Yan that her heart would never surrender.

  "Yes" Chen Yan's eyes flashed with intense appreciation, the light faded away, and his dark pupils seemed to hold a deep, unspoken emotion. He gazed at her deeply, as if he wanted to imprint her current appearance firmly in his heart.

  Xia Xi was made to feel uneasy all over by his scorching gaze, her original enthusiasm vanished into thin air, she lowered her head trying to hide, and then heard Chen Yan say: "Yes, you won."

  It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her mind. Xia Xi's eyes widened in incredulity, staring at Chen Yan. What did he just say? She won?

  Their bet was who would fall in love with each other first, his sentence means - he admits to loving himself??

  Chen Yantai's sudden concession made Xia Xixi unable to accept it for a moment. She took two steps back, as if unwilling to accept this fact, her neck suddenly turned bright red, and she lowered her head, but her eyes were still wide open.

  Chen Yan saw her being struck by lightning-like strong reaction, couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this what you've always wanted to hear? Xia Xi Xi, you win, I surrender to my own heart and admit that I like you."

  Xia Xi was stunned, this shouldn't be the case. Why did she hear her own victory without the expected joy, but instead felt so flustered and at a loss.

  According to the original idea, shouldn't she be severely beating the fallen dog, trampling Chen Yan under her feet and ridiculing him mercilessly? Why at this moment, didn't she even have the courage to look up at him?

  Her heart was racing at a frequency it had never experienced before, as if it would jump out of her body the moment she opened her mouth.

  Chen Yan didn't let her dodge, took a big step forward, placed both hands on her shoulders, trying to calm her down, but unexpectedly this action made the other person even more flustered.

  Xia Xi, feeling both ashamed and annoyed in her heart, how could she be so spineless? She had won, hadn't she? Why should she hide? She was the one who should be proud, she was the one who should hold her head high, so why did she win without any momentum?

  She raised her head, trying to regain some momentum, her eyes darting around, but she didn't dare look at Chen Yan in front of her. He, however, didn't let her off the hook, carefully paying attention to the subtle changes in her expression, with a warm smile on his lips that was inconsistent with the cold and serious atmosphere around him, saying in a low voice: "I hereby announce unconditional surrender, currently having one captive, hoping the victorious commander will accept."

  Ambiguous words, surging hot air, everything made Xia Xixi's body abnormally hot and dry. She finally regained a thread of rationality from the almost boiling atmosphere, shrunk her shoulders, broke free from Chen Yan's restraint, raised her chin, and looked at him proudly: "Ben Shuai accepts the enemy's surrender, whether to accept the spoils of war still needs to inspect the quality of the captive."

  Chen Yan's originally slightly nervous heart fell back to the ground, how worried he was that his hard-won self-esteem would be trampled under her feet with ease, how worried that her stubbornness would bind his own heart, fortunately, her reaction was not the best situation he expected, but it wasn't bad either.

  He hooked up his thin lips and smiled shallowly, asking in a low voice by her ear: "What else do you want to test? Is it...?" His words were drowned out by his laughter.

  Pfft pfft pfft, Xi Xi realized she had misspoken and, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, pushed Chen Yan, but her outstretched hand was immediately caught by Chen Yan and pressed against his chest.

  She felt his heartbeat, numb and rooted to the spot, her whole body like a cooked shrimp, red and almost transparent. You can search for "The Difficult-to-Resolve Grudge of the School Hunk Chapter 18" on Baidu to find the latest updates of this book!
