Can You Love Me? - Chapter 28

Chapter 28. The Boy Who Holds Her In His Palm

In the past, Xin Ai always hated her face, but now, she has become adept at using her face to achieve her own goals.

She hated who she was now, but she had no choice to use her most annoying appearance little by little.

She stayed in the office for 20 minutes. After she came out, her eyes were red and swollen. The counselor shouted behind her: “Xin Ai, if you have any difficulties, you must tell the Department.”

She turned and bowed: “Thank you, teacher.”

Look, she doesn’t need to say anything. She just needs to cry and put on the delicate face of a white lotus. So other people think that she has been persecuted and is suffering from injustice.

If you make up a random reason, they wouldn’t believe anymore.

The world sees this face ironically.

She didn’t see Su Xiaoling. She thought she had left for a long time. She was just about to leave when she heard a familiar voice.

“Xin Ai…”

Her body was stiff. She raised her head and saw the figure running from the opposite side. She frowned slightly: “Senior Xu.”

Xu Zhaomu came running against the light and saw her face, he was full of joy. “What’s wrong with you that you didn’t come to school recently? I’ve been looking for you. You didn’t answer the call. You didn’t answer the WeChat. You …”

He stopped and explaining: “I’m sorry, I don’t blame you, I’m just a little worried about you.”

When he looked at her, the love at the bottom of his eyes could not be hidden at all. The expression in his eyes was concentrated only on her, even if the world around him collapsed, it still could not distract him.

The girl in front of him is his whole world.

He is the most popular person in the school, but he is just a common boy who is eager to get the attention of the girl.

She pursed her lips and did not speak. The boy in front of her smiled and showed two rabbit teeth. He was handsome and energetic, and it’s warm to be near him.

She once liked it, but it was just … like!

She said coldly, “No, I’m fine. Senior Xu also comes to work. You must be busy. So I have to go in advance.”

He is shocked and stops her: “Ah, Xin Ai, are you okay? Did I do something wrong? Didn’t we get along well before? And you … you promised me to think it over …”

“Yes, I’ve thought about it. As a result, I don’t like Senior Xu.”

There was a sharp pain in her heart. Some things can only be regarded as a regret.

The boy in front of her is good-looking and cheerful, which makes people feel very safe. If nothing happened to Xin Huan, maybe she would have accepted his confession by now.

Now she doesn’t deserve to accept such pure love.

“No way, Xin Ai … You… What happened? What happened?”

He remembers clearly that when she said she wanted to think about it, she looked at him with shy eyes, which she was clearly touched. How could she dislike him so fast?

She said coldly: “Senior Xu, you know I don’t like those people who keep on disturbing me, so If you don’t want me to hate you, please … don’t disturb me again. Thank you.”

He is very worried. The girl he likes is gentle and shy. She never looked so fierce.

“I don’t know what made you say these words, or what happened to you, but I like you and it will never change. As long as you look back, I will always be here for you.”

She forced a smile. Day and night, how long can it be?

What’s more, she hates what she looks like now. Why should others wait for her?

Walking out of the teaching building, she met Su Xiaoling who was running all the way.

“I’m sorry, dear. I went to see my Prince Charming just before I could bear it. What did your counselor say?”

“It’s all right.”

“Great. By the way, Senior Xu, have you met him? I happened to run into him and he came to see you.”

“… No.”

“It’s a pity that I missed it. By the way, Senior Xu has now interned in the municipal procuratorate. He is so excellent and has a good family. In a few years, he may be the youngest prosecutor in our city…”

Xin Ai nodded, without comment.

“Xin Ai … Senior Xu likes you so much. Why don’t you accept it?”

Xin Ai looked down. “Well, I don’t like him.”

Su Xiaoling was surprised. The people in their dormitories have seen Xu Zhaomu treat Xin Ai with envy. Everyone thought that they must be together.

“Xin Ai, I … I found that your whole person has changed a lot since you came back this time. I can’t put it into words. It’s just…”

Xin Ai raises her mobile phone complacently: “If you keep stalling, you will be late for class.”

“Oh, my! It’s terrible. The first class of this evening is Teacher Lu’s. Let’s go quickly. If we are late, he will PK us again.”

*TN: A gaming term, short for Player Kill.

Xin Ai is dragged by Su Xiaoling to run on the school’s pavement. She looks at the girl’s long hair, her heart is full of envy and jealousy.

She also wants to finish college freely like Su Xiaoling. She also wants to pursue the stars she likes like those girls who pursue stars. She also wants to … love the boy who holds her in his palm.

But, she can’t!

Finally, when the bell rang, they rushed into the classroom, and Su Xiaoling took Xin Ai to find a seat.

Teacher Lu that Su Xiaoling talked about was actually a teacher who taught about trade and economics. His surname is Lu. He is a young associate professor. He talks funny and likes playing games, but he is strict in class. Students like his class very much, but they are afraid of him.

Just 10 minutes after class, Xin Ai’s mobile phone vibrated, and she took a look. It was a text message.

She took a look, then felt stunned. The message is from a strange number, it only had a sentence: [A good friend with a common secret, make an appointment for dinner tonight!]

This is…

Xin Ai hesitated for a while. Is this Lu Jincheng? Did he feel bored so soon?

She didn’t reply and another one came soon. This time it was a picture.

In the picture, Xin Ai is wearing a black formal dress and stepping on Chen Ming’s face.

Xin Ai’s hand trembled, and immediately deleted the picture. Lu Jincheng, the son of a b***h actually took a picture! Is this the Lu Yingdi she once liked?

Xin Ai: [Lu Jincheng, what do you want?]

Almost the next second after sending it, the cell phone vibrated. She looked down and saw that there were only two answer words: [Only you!]

Her face is green, and her hands were about to crush the phone screen.

Xin Ai: [Get lost!]

Lu Jincheng: [If Chen Ming had this video, he would be very happy.]

Su Xiaoling secretly pulled Xin Ai: “Xin Ai, don’t play with your mobile phone. Teacher Lu is watching you.”

Xin Ai immediately raised her head. As expected, she saw teacher Lu looking at her with a smile. Her face turned red and she lowered her head to listen carefully.

Teacher Lu made a joke: “My students, don’t rely on your beauty too much. Even if you don’t listen carefully, I don’t want to criticize you. Although I really want to criticize you, you have the beauty, you have the final say.”
