"Huh?"

Staring blankly at Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan was a little lost.

The ability to listen to the inner voice is all about being direct, real, and rough.

But Xia Xinyu's inner thoughts were a little obscure.

Moreover, that "ha" was used with such finesse.

*He* can get along with anyone quite happily, ha.

You're quite popular with girls, ha.

You were chatting happily just now, ha.

Ha your head off, isn't saying what's on your mind your ninja way!

"What's wrong?" Xia Xinyu asked, puzzled, seeing Chen Yuan's confused expression.

"Let me tell you something funny." Chen Yuan no longer wore his confusion on his face, and spoke normally.

"Okay, tell me."

"Didn't we save a woman the other day? Today, she came to school with the police to give me a banner, and even called a reporter to take pictures." After all, this matter was also related to Xia Xinyu, so Chen Yuan felt he had to talk about it. "She originally thought you were from this school too, and when she didn't see you, she asked me to thank you on her behalf."

The lady surnamed Yuan didn't actually thank Xia Xinyu, but Chen Yuan felt that Xia Xinyu deserved three-ninths of the credit this time.

Not because of the causal reason that he wouldn't have encountered this suicidal woman if he hadn't brought her out, but because she had grabbed him at that time.

Xia Xinyu's plea saved two people.

With this woman's crazy level, if he had gone to save her when she was conscious, he might have really been dragged into the bottom of the river by this 'water ghost,' and he would have been done for too.

"The police came?" Xia Xinyu was a little surprised.

"Yeah, Lao Mo suddenly called me at the classroom door with a straight face. I thought I had done something illegal and was about to scold me in front of the police. When he heard that I had saved someone, he was dumbfounded on the spot."

"Haha... I can almost picture it. I was also panicked when he questioned me."

Although she had some minor complaints about Chen Yuan in her heart, it didn't affect Xia Xinyu's attitude towards him, so she could still chat with him naturally.

"Yeah, Lao Mo is just that kind of person. He doesn't apologize even when he's slapped in the face, a stubborn old coot."

"What happened after that? That woman... must have said something about treating you to a meal, right?" When it came to that person, Xia Xinyu didn't hide her prejudice at all.

"Not really, she was asked to leave after the reporter finished taking pictures."

"She's really a showy person, wanting the whole world to know about her suicide."

"A bit, yeah..." Chen Yuan proactively changed the subject. "What about you? Didn't you tell your classmates you were transferring? Weren't they surprised to see you?"

Xia Xinyu pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "He doesn't seem to have told anyone about my transfer. He wasn't particularly surprised to see me."

Xia Xinyu knew that this was related to Chen Yuan's 'help' when she was on the phone that day.

After Wen Boheng knew of Chen Yuan's existence, he backed down.

But there were some things she didn't talk to Chen Yuan about.

The girl she met on the bus in the morning really started questioning her when she got to school, just as she had expected. During the lunch break, several girls who were close to her surrounded her like they were having a fireside chat, gossiping about 'him.'

And, they kept asking if her absence from school these past few days had anything to do with 'him.'

If Chen Yuan hadn't helped her, she would have died, so Xia Xinyu didn't deny it.

Then, those who liked to fill in the blanks with their imaginations began to talk about 'him' in front of her, with great excitement.

The girl who came up with her just now was one of them, insisting on meeting him in person, and she couldn't refuse.

However, after she and her friend saw Chen Yuan chatting and laughing with other girls, no, after he made other girls laugh...

Xia Xinyu felt a bit embarrassed.

"Xinyu, I'm getting off the bus, bye-bye." The girl had arrived at her stop and waved to Xia Xinyu with a giggle.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Xia Xinyu waved back with a smile.

The girl was actually quite awkward because she had thought it was a pure romance, but then she saw a third woman, and the atmosphere had become a bit stagnant. Fortunately, she had arrived at her stop and could leave this delicate situation.

However, just as she walked towards the open door, ready to get off the bus, she suddenly heard the boy next to Xia Xinyu whispering something to Xia Xinyu.

"I just happened to run into that girl on the bus."

"..."

She vaguely heard that after she left, the boy took the initiative to explain to Xia Xinyu, and the girl seemed to have been forcibly stuffed with a piece of candy into her mouth, a caramel marshmallow that was so sweet that her taste buds had nowhere to escape.

[So he can be scared too, I can't tell, Xinyu's family is so strict]

[So, he was just pretending to be calm just now?]

[I've really been shown up by these two]

After helping Xia Xinyu save face, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the girl get off the bus.

Sigh...

Are the Olympics in math harder than dealing with women?

"...Ah?" Xia Xinyu was stunned, not knowing why Chen Yuan had suddenly jumped to such a previous topic.

"I'm not very familiar with her. She's also a day student and a new transfer student, so I didn't refuse," Chen Yuan explained. "Besides, she can help you save a seat."

"..."

Xia Xinyu understood Chen Yuan's explanation.

And after combining it with the scene just now and understanding it deeply, she immediately felt a sense of embarrassment at being seen through.

Chen Yuan's proactive and quiet explanation just now also made her classmates hear it, making her little vanity...

Was indeed satisfied.

"I see... oh, okay, I got it."

After all, Xia Xinyu couldn't see into the other person's heart. She didn't know if Chen Yuan's explanation was because he wanted to coax her that 'he was the best with her,' or if he had high EQ and saw that she was a little embarrassed in front of her classmates, or if he simply just wanted to talk about this person.

But Chen Yuan's words undoubtedly refuted what she had thought before.

He doesn't just get along well with any girl and make them laugh.

He purely just likes to say things that make people laugh...

And she should be a relatively special person in his heart.

Safe, smooth landing.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xia Xinyu think that.

If he had known, he wouldn't have pretended to be natural and get rid of suspicion and chatted and laughed with Zhou Fu, otherwise, Xia Xinyu wouldn't have misunderstood him as a central air conditioner.

According to her evaluation of him, he should just put on an 'apathetic face of hating everyone equally' and be himself.

Wait a minute...

What am I doing?

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that he was actually engaged in some kind of romantic war of the minds!

He wasn't usually this ingratiating to women.

It can only be said that this 'listening to the inner voice' superpower is really harmful, instead, he is starting to haggle.

[He must have been scared today, sitting next to a girl]

Just as Chen Yuan was introspecting in his heart that he shouldn't be an ingratiating man, he suddenly heard Xia Xinyu's voice.

Her enunciation was clear, word by word.

At this time, she was looking at her phone.

Moreover, the phone was slightly angled towards him.

Inner voices aren't necessarily what one is thinking, people will subconsciously read the words in their hearts when they are reading.

So she was chatting.

[No, he just happened to be with a classmate, isn't that normal?]

Also, one will subconsciously read in their heart when typing.

[Don't hide it, you must have been furious when you saw a girl sitting next to your boyfriend, right?]

[I said, he's not my boyfriend]

[Oh yeah I know, not your boyfriend yet]

After reading the message sent by the other party, Xia Xinyu's inner voice stopped abruptly.

At this time, the bus turned right, the side glass facing the setting sun. The setting sun in the west cast its afterglow into the car.

It happened to shine into Chen Yuan's eyes.

He naturally turned his head away from the glare with his left hand to block the sun, and saw the delicate and pretty Xia Xinyu, her hair color dyed light brown by the sunlight. She was looking at the screen of her phone, and the corner of her mouth was slightly curved...

Xia Xinyu didn't notice any gazes. When her eyes met Chen Yuan's, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have been caught doing something...

"Wh-what?" Xia Xinyu glanced down at the phone that hadn't been turned off yet, quickly grabbed the phone and pressed it against her chest, and her body was stiff and straight, so abnormal that she herself felt strange.

Although she forced herself to remain calm and looked Chen Yuan in the eye, her eyes couldn't help but wander...

[It wasn't me who said it... it's none of my business]
