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

Chapter 23 If she participates, then I'll participate too, okay?

Class started soon, and when it ended, Tong Yining couldn't wait to go to Yin Mengran's side.

"Ranran! How are you?"

She asked in a low voice, her voice and eyes filled with expectation.

But when she saw that Yin Mengran's expression was a little off, her heart skipped a beat.

"Well... Tongtong, you should give up on Zhou Heng. Didn't you say yourself that you're not a good match for him?"

"He...rejected it, didn't he...?"

Tong Yining lowered her eyes sadly, feeling a tightness in her eyes and an urge to cry.

She didn't feel wronged; she just felt she had brought it on herself.

After all, she wasn't someone I missed; she was right in front of me, and I ignored her for two years.

Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on her. She hadn't fallen for him in two years, but then, just days after he stopped reciprocating her feelings, she suddenly became interested in him.

Yin Mengran didn't know how to comfort her, so she gently shook her head and said:

"It's okay. You're so pretty. When you get to college, lots of people will like you. You're already in your senior year of high school. Even if you and Zhou Heng get together, your grades might not be good enough for you to get into the same university. A long-distance relationship would be even more painful."

"Um..."

Tong Yining didn't know what to do either, so she could only listen to Yin Mengran's comforting words.

What else could she do? Beg Zhou Heng to come back?

Just now, she was still thinking about what to say to Zhou Heng at noon.

But now, all those thoughts are useless; the other person simply doesn't want to talk to me.

"what happened?"

Tian Run approached the two of them and, noticing that Tong Yining's expression was off, asked her in confusion,

Yin Mengran gently tugged at Tian Run's hand, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

Tian Run obediently shut her mouth, but since it concerned Tong Yining, she also had some ideas.

It might be related to Zhou Heng?

At lunchtime, Yin Mengran happily took out the boxed lunch that Zhou Heng had prepared.

She didn't really look forward to lunchtime before, because she ate very little, and eating even seemed like a waste of time to her.

But now, she feels that what she looks forward to most is mealtime.

By the time lunch break was almost over, most of the students had returned to class.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher walked in and stood on the podium.

"Come on, I have two things to say."

The homeroom teacher's voice immediately made the students who were resting look up.

"The first thing is that we have our monthly exam next Tuesday. Everyone, study hard and try to get good results."

"The second thing is that at the end of the month, it's our school's sports meet, which will be your last sports meet in high school."

"Oh--"

The students cheered excitedly at the mention of the sports meet.

For them, the pressure of school life is too great. The two-day sports meet is undoubtedly the best opportunity for them to relax and have fun.

"The events for the sports meet are all listed here. Participation is voluntary. There will also be an opening ceremony performance. This time, you can discuss and decide for yourselves. Class monitor and sports committee member, these two things are your responsibility."

The homeroom teacher handed all the forms to Yin Mengran, who was sitting in the front, and then left the classroom.

The next second, a huge crowd swarmed over, ready to join in the fun.

Of course, there's also Lu Yunshuo. After all, he's a member of the sports committee, and he immediately perked up when he heard that he could work with Yin Mengran on this matter.

The people around her were talking all at once, making Yin Mengran's ears ring. The classroom was in complete chaos.

"OK OK!"

Yin Mengran quickly stopped the people around her, looked at them, and said:

"The sports meet is at the end of the month, so there's plenty of time. Right now, the more important thing is the monthly exam next Tuesday. Those who want to sign up for events should do so, and the rest of you should focus on studying. We can talk about the opening ceremony performance after the monthly exam."

Hearing Yin Mengran say this, Lu Yunshuo quickly stood up for her and echoed her sentiments:

"Yes, listen to the class monitor. You all go back. If you want to sign up for a project, come find me."

Tang Zhi was awakened by the noise. She raised her head, her eyes still sleepy, and looked at Zhou Heng beside her, asking:

"what's up?"

"The monthly exam is next Tuesday, and the sports meet is at the end of the month."

Tang Zhi yawned and said, "Oh... can we ask for leave from the sports meet? Let's go online instead, otherwise it'll be too boring."

"I don't think it will work. Compared to the sports meet, I'm more worried about what to do about the monthly exams."

Zhou Heng covered his head with both hands; he was starting to feel overwhelmed. Being ranked over 200th in the grade was truly impressive.

Zhou Heng had no confidence whatsoever that he could rise 50 places in the rankings this time.

"Do you need me to come over this weekend and tutor you?"

"No need, I can't keep up with your thinking."

Zhou Heng thought that even when Yin Mengran explained a problem, it took him a long time to understand.

Asking Tang Zhi to explain the problem to him? She's simply not cut out to teach others; she only knows how to give him an answer and then expect him to work out the process.

"Okay then, looks like you can't go out to play tonight either? I was thinking of going to the internet cafe after school to play for a while because I have an event today."

"Forget it, you can go home and play at home. I really don't have time to play."

"Then I'll just log into your account and do the quest for you."

"Row."

After school in the evening, Zhou Heng left the school to go home.

Yin Mengran wasn't in a hurry to follow, since she knew where Zhou Heng's house was.

She walked home from school with Tong Yining and Tian Run, chatted for a while, said goodbye to them on the way, and went back to Zhou Heng's house alone.

After knocking and entering, they found that Zhou Heng was already preparing dinner.

While the two were eating together, Yin Mengran wanted to start a conversation, so she asked:

"Are you interested in the sports meet? You're so good at sports, aren't you going to sign up for any events?"

Yin Mengran recalled that Zhou Heng hadn't participated in any sports meets in the past two years, and she didn't know he was good at sports at the time.

Now that she knows, she certainly doesn't want to let Zhou Heng, this talented person, go. If she lets him compete, he's sure to win a few gold medals.

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Not interested."

"What about Tang Zhi? Do you think she'd be willing to participate?"

Yin Mengran didn't give up. She thought of Tang Zhi, after all, Tang Zhi was comparable to Zhou Heng in athletics, so participating in the women's competition would definitely not be a problem.

"Her? It's already a miracle she didn't fake illness and ask for leave that day, and you still want her to apply for projects? No way."

Yin Mengran became interested, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Oh? It's impossible, isn't it?"

"Well, I'll bet you, if she participates, then I'll participate too, okay?"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Yin Mengran didn't know if she could persuade Tang Zhi, but if she did, she would also gain Zhou Heng as a bonus, giving her two more powerful generals! How could she not win?

So she agreed without even thinking.
