Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Jealous Over Nothing
"Xia Nuo, I’m just saying, Leng Yan doesn’t mind you being older than her, so why do you mind him being younger than you? He’s a rare good boyfriend. If you don’t want him, be careful he might be snatched away."
Xia Nuo looked at her puzzled. Where did her words come from?
Seeing her confusion, Little Yuanyuan smugly brought up the main point of the conversation.
"You might not know yet, but Leng Yan is now recognized as the school heartthrob. Lots of girls are after him, even those a few years older. But none of them stand a chance. However, there’s one person I think is your biggest threat."
"Who?" Xia Nuo instinctively asked, and Little Yuanyuan immediately showed a teasing smile as if saying ’I knew you liked Leng Yan.’
"Alright, forget it!" Xia Nuo turned her head in embarrassment and annoyance.
"I’ll tell you; I’m not saying nothing. You actually know the girl. She’s a new classmate, named An Ruo. Nowadays, she’s the school beauty, and Leng Yan is the school heartthrob. Everyone is saying they’re a perfect match, a pair made in heaven. I even heard that she’s only three and a half years older than Leng Yan, and everyone says this age gap isn’t a problem."
In Xia Nuo’s mind, images of An Ruo and Leng Yan standing together immediately appeared. Indeed, they look like a pair made in heaven!
She bit her lip lightly. She’s actually very rational and knows she’s feeling unfounded jealousy. But she still felt somewhat angry because the age difference between An Ruo and Leng Yan deeply hurt her.
They’re all younger than her, more suited for Leng Yan. For someone her age, in their eyes, she’s probably considered an old woman!
Xia Nuo’s expression turned cold, and she resolved to forget Leng Yan.
She didn’t want one day to be laughed at as the older woman flirting with a younger man, ridiculed as an old woman. Such mockery would be unbearable for her.
That’s why Leng Yan, who had always carefully observed her face from the shadows, noticed her becoming even colder towards him, treating him as if he were invisible.
He felt very wronged, not knowing what he had done to upset her.
Xia Nuo’s tablemate, An Ruo, although not familiar with her, also sensed her dislike. She was puzzled too, not knowing how she had offended her.
"Xia Nuo, wait for me." After school one day, Zhang Jian ran after her and grinned, "Do you have time this weekend? I was thinking..."
"No time." Xia Nuo mercilessly rejected him, leaving quickly.
Zhang Jian was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t even finished speaking.
"Xia Nuo, do you have time today?" After school another day, Zhang Jian stopped her.
"No time."
"What about tomorrow?"
"No time."
"Surely you have time the day after tomorrow."
"I won’t have any time until the college entrance exam is over." Xia Nuo was already tired of his pursuit; she rejects him every day, why doesn’t he know when to quit?
Even Leng Yan knows to give her time and space...
Honestly, why did she even think of him at this moment?
"Xia Nuo, I really have something to discuss with you, could you spare me a bit of time?" Zhang Jian begged shamelessly.
Xia Nuo stopped walking, just about to speak when someone walked in between her and Zhang Jian, separating them.
"She said she has no time, please respect that and don’t pester her anymore."
After speaking, he held her wrist and led her away.
"Let go of me; I can walk on my own." Xia Nuo struggled quietly, but the person in front entirely ignored her.
Not wanting to cause a scene at school, she had no choice but to let him lead her out. Once outside the gate, he didn’t opt for a car but kept walking with her.
