I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 14 is just... not my type...

"Damn it... you motherfucker..."

Kong Yue used all his strength, but remained motionless. His heart was pounding, and his face was flushed red as if it were about to bleed.

He felt Zhou Heng begin to exert force, and he had no strength to resist at all; his arm was slowly moving downwards.

Zhou Heng could have pressed down directly, but he was worried that pressing down too quickly would break Kong Yue's arm, so he didn't use too much force.

"!!"

Kong Yue's eyes widened. He knew he was about to lose. In front of everyone, he was the one who had started the trouble, and he was about to lose face completely!

The next second, as if by reflex, he reached out with his other hand and pried it open with both hands at the same time!

Those watching looked on with disdain. Wasn't this just cheating, like someone who couldn't handle a game?

Zhou Heng didn't care at all. Since he was using both hands, he shouldn't be so fragile, so he started to exert force.

"Snapped!"

The contest ended in a flash, and Zhou Heng won decisively.

"Zhou Heng won. You... I really don't know what to say. You'd better watch yourself."

Lu Yunshuo patted Kong Yue on the shoulder and shook his head, clearly expressing his utter contempt for Kong Yue's behavior.

"whispering sound--"

The surrounding crowd booed and dispersed.

Kong Yue was still standing there in a daze, as if he were dumbfounded, his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly agape, looking like he would drool even if he were cured.

He never expected to lose, especially since he cheated and lost with both hands!

Whether it's the competition or character, it seems like they've lost completely!

"Bye-bye, go back and eat more candy."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, signaling Kong Yue to leave.

Kong Yue glanced up at Tang Zhi, but found she didn't look up at all, showing no surprise, as if she already knew the outcome of the competition.

His heart was completely dead. He stood up and walked back in a daze.

Zhou Heng flexed his wrists, and at that moment, Tang Zhi handed him a wet wipe.

"Here, wipe your hands."

"Ah."

The farce ended just like that, and the class's attention was diverted. What had been a discussion about Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi had now turned into a discussion about Kong Yue.

Saying things like "I always thought Kong Yue was a bad person, had poor character, and loved to cause trouble" is just a case of everyone kicking him while he's down.

In the corridor, Yin Mengran, Tong Yining, and Tian Run went to the restroom.

Tian Run said with some surprise, "I didn't expect Zhou Heng to be so strong. I don't usually see him exercising."

"Tch, being slow-witted makes you a bit silly."

Tong Yining said dismissively, but her mind was still on what happened that morning. She had suspected yesterday that Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi were together.

Today she is even more suspicious, and even feels that her suspicions are correct!

At that moment, she desperately wanted to know what was going on!

Why didn't Zhou Heng confess his feelings to her yesterday as usual, and is he actually with Tang Zhi?

But she couldn't ask, because that would make it seem like she cared about him a lot...

"He seems a bit dull. Hey, Ranran, what do you think of Zhou Heng? Does he seem like a good match for Tongtong?"

Tian Run asked Yin Mengran with a mischievous grin,

Upon hearing this, Tong Yining pretended to be angry and lightly hit Tian Run: "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about... Honestly, don't you know how annoyed I am by him..."

I thought Yin Mengran wouldn't answer, but she nodded seriously and replied:

"Hmm... I think he is indeed quite dull, but... he's a very good person... I think. As for whether he and Tongtong are compatible..."

Yin Mengran suddenly remembered the chat history she had seen last night, shook her head, and said:

"I don't think it's appropriate..."

Tong Yining spread her hands and said to Tian Run, "See, I told you it wasn't suitable."

Yin Mengran added in her mind, "Yeah, I'm sorry, Tongtong, I don't think you deserve the feelings he's given me..."

Tian Run nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, yes, it's not suitable. You should be with a handsome guy like Lu Yunshuo, right?"

"Lu Yunshuo? Stop joking. Everyone knows he likes Ranran. He's definitely for Ranran, right?"

Tong Yining smiled knowingly and nudged Yin Mengran beside her with her elbow, just like Tian Run had done earlier.

Upon hearing this, Yin Mengran slowly shook her head: "No, I don't like him."

Tong Yining and Tian Run were somewhat surprised and asked in astonishment:

"Huh? Why? He's tall and handsome, and his grades are good too. What's wrong with him?"

He's perfect in every way... except... he's not my type...

"Then what kind do you like?"

"Um..."

Yin Mengran paused for a moment, thought for a while, then parted her thin lips slightly and said softly:

"He's... straightforward... opinionated, caring, self-disciplined, and... a bit masculine..."

"Huh? Who is it? Are there any boys like that in our class?"

Tian Run and Tong Yining exchanged glances, their minds racing through the characteristics of the boys in their class, trying to find someone who matched their description.

But on the surface, it seems there isn't such a person.

"I...I just said I like this type...I didn't say who..."

A flicker of panic flashed across Yin Mengran's eyes, and she quickly offered an explanation.

"Come on, can't you have any ambition? What kind of type is this?"

"You're so good-looking, you can definitely have higher standards."

Hearing their conversation, Yin Mengran lowered her eyes sadly, a hint of sorrow flashing in them.

"My circumstances...right now...must be really bad..."

She muttered to herself softly, a sense of sadness welling up inside her.

All she can do now is study hard and try to improve her circumstances, but there's one aspect that can never be remedied...

Who would want to marry me in the future? A girl without a family, no one to care for her. Even if she did marry into a wealthy family, without their support, she'd definitely be bullied...

She's already prepared to be alone for the rest of her life...

The morning passed quickly, and it was lunchtime.

Yin Mengran had been looking forward to lunch since morning.

After all, Zhou Heng made it for her himself.

She took the lunchbox out of her desk, placed it on the table, and opened it to reveal a feast of delicious food.

Her eyes lit up; she felt that just one glance was enough to whet her appetite.

"Hey? Ranran, why did you bring your own lunch today?"

Tong Yining saw the lunchbox on Yin Mengran's table and asked in surprise,

In her memory, it seemed that Zhou Heng was the only one in the class who brought his own lunch.

"Uh...I...I just suddenly had a whim..."
