CHAPTER 733: CHAPTER 663: I LIKE YOU, FROM THE FIRST SIGHT 4

If anyone said Jian Dan was putting on airs, they’d be utterly wrong.

She genuinely didn’t recognize them, and her eyes couldn’t lie, making her seem somewhat impolite. Jian Dan laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, I have a bit of face blindness, and I don’t really recognize your faces."

Of course, that was nonsense, and it was clear to everyone.

But it was probably just a way to reduce the girl’s embarrassment, and that was all.

Lin Chengyu burst out laughing, his previous schemes all but dissolving in front of such a girl.

He felt quite awful, plotting against someone he barely knew. Taking advantage with an agenda was a major taboo.

He introduced himself with a casual coolness, "Hello, we may be classmates in the future. My name is Lin Chengyu, and their names are Han Jin, Zhou Yan, and Zhong Xiaoyu."

"Hello everyone, my name is Jian Dan."

Zhong Xiaoyu almost choked, "Jian Dan, we know your name—didn’t we just call you?"

"Oh, so what do you want?"

Jian Dan looked up at them, her face clouded with puzzlement. She was genuinely confused—after all, they weren’t acquainted, so why suddenly call out to her? And right now, she was very hungry, craving something to eat, wanting cake, desiring a bowl of seasoned noodles.

These people blocking her way and wasting her time was anything but pleasant.

Zhou Yan gave a wry smile as he caught a glimpse of her disdain from the depths of her eyes. He shared a laugh with Lin Chengyu, whose eyes seemed to see it all, "Do you think she finds us annoying?"

Lin Chengyu, "Obviously, she is just being polite in talking to me."

Their voices weren’t low, and Jian Dan, hearing them, blushed slightly with embarrassment, "I didn’t mean that. I’m just a little hungry and want to go eat something. We’ve just met each other, isn’t it natural for us to go our separate ways? You are blocking my path, so of course I would be displeased, right?"

Han Jin, "Jian Dan, your frank words really leave us nowhere to hide."

Isn’t that the truth?

In their grade, who wouldn’t cling to them and chatter away? But Jian Dan?

She was effortlessly cool.

Completely ignoring them, she even found them a nuisance for being in her way.

Mi Lu came down, ready to eat. She did a double-take when she saw Jian Dan being blocked, her brows furrowing. She strode over, pulled Jian Dan behind her, and glared at Lin Chengyu and the others with round eyes, "A bunch of big guys bullying Jian Dan here, do you have no shame?"

Mi Lu, being a mix, was quite striking, and the guys were somewhat taken aback by the beautiful girl’s scolding, feeling the misunderstanding they had caused was getting out of hand.

Luckily, Jian Dan preferred not to be the center of attention, and tugging at Mi Lu’s sleeve, she said, "No, they’re not making it difficult for me. After we’re divided into classes, we’ll be in the same one. They just came to greet me. It’s just that I’m not comfortable being with this many people; it’s kind of suffocating."

Everyone: "..."

As if she were an older sister, Mi Lu pinched Jian Dan’s cheek, "Did you hear that? Our Little Jian Dan doesn’t like crowds. We’re all going to be classmates, so let’s disperse."

A few big guys: "..."

Your friend sure is casual.

Obviously, Jian Dan was pleased with Mi Lu’s intervention, grabbing her wrist and leading her past them, "I’ll take you to eat something delicious. I have money, I’m treating."

Lin Chengyu and friends couldn’t help but want to laugh behind their backs. The phrase "I have money, I’m treating" was something only a child would say.

Their amusement wasn’t hidden, and how could Jian Dan not notice? Her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish in irritation, and she stopped in her steps, turning to face them with a serious look, "Is it that funny?"

Caught in the act, the guys felt awkward: "Well, it’s not that funny, just that, you’re quite interesting."

Han Jin’s response came with a piercing look, his gaze toward Jian Dan filled with a hint of inquiry.

Jian Dan snorted, "Boring."

With that, she really seemed a bit angry and marched on, holding Mi Lu’s hand, her voice much softer now.

Having just returned to the country, Mi Lu hadn’t had the chance to try any decent food. At Jian Dan’s suggestion, they ended up at a pretty good Hunan restaurant. Jian Dan liked spicy food, but Mi Lu couldn’t handle it, so she ordered two dishes without chilies, yet eyeing the three spicy dishes with envy.

"Little Jian Dan, this is where you’re wrong. You know I can’t eat spicy food, yet you order these tempting dishes for me to see. I’m truly heartbroken."
