Seeing Jian Ai’s attitude, Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She secretly mocked Jian Ai for pretending to be aloof but pretended to be friendly. She said to Jian Ai, “What’s so hard to admit? We all saw Lin Yi buying lunch for you. Don’t be too embarrassed to admit it!”
Initially, Jian Ai didn’t want to explain these things to others. After all, if it was a yes, it was a yes. If it was a no, it was a no. However, on second thought, instead of letting others spread false rumors and create gossip, it would be better to use Xu Jiaojiao’s mouth to spread the truth. She would feel relaxed as well. After all, Lin Yi had quite a few admirers. It was annoying to deal with them.
With this thought in mind, Jian Ai stopped what she was doing and looked at Xu Jiaojiao seriously. “You’re really overthinking this matter. Lin Yi bought lunch for me just to apologize to me. It’s not as exciting as you think. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment before snapping out of her daze. “So that’s how it is! Oh, I knew it! No matter how I look at it, the two of you aren’t compatible. After all, you’re not from the same world…”
Halfway through, Xu Jiaojiao pretended to say something wrong and quickly covered her mouth to stop herself. However, the meaning behind her words was clear. She secretly mocked Jian Ai for not being good enough for Lin Yi, and Lin Yi definitely wouldn’t fall for Jian Ai.
“Jian Ai, I’m not good with words. I don’t mean anything else. Don’t think too much about it.” Xu Jiaojiao pretended to be apologetic, but she had fixed her eyes on Jian Ai’s expression. She wanted to see how Jian Ai would react when she was hurt.
However, Jian Ai disappointed her. Jian Ai smiled and nodded indifferently. “You are right. I am not the same type of person as him, so you better not mix me with him in the future.”
Seeing Jian Ai’s reaction, Xu Jiaojiao muttered in her heart. She thought Jian Ai deliberately put up a strong front and probably cried eight hundred times in her heart.
However, it was just as Jian Ai had thought. Xu Jiaojiao, who knew the truth, could be said to be an artificial transmission machine. In just one afternoon, she had already made known about the matter between Jian Ai and Lin Yi to everyone. Everyone also understood that Lin Yi had bought Jian Ai a meal just to apologize, and he had no other intentions.
After school in the afternoon, Jian Ai and Guan Tao talked and laughed as they walked towards the bus stop. However, they were stopped halfway.
Li Yunmei was the leader, and there were four girls that Jian Ai did not know. They were Li Yunmei’s followers.
The five of them stood in a line and blocked the path for the two of them. It was obvious that they were looking for trouble.
Jian Ai stopped in her tracks and instinctively pulled Guan Tao behind her. Li Yunmei saw this and couldn’t help but sneer. She said to Jian Ai, “Jian Ai, you can’t even protect yourself. Don’t think about protecting others.”
“What do you want?” Jian Ai’s eyes darkened. She was not frightened by the scene in front of her.
“Hah, what do I want?” Li Yunmei raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, “Of course I’m teaching you a lesson! Jian Ai, you are too shameless. You actually had the nerve to ask Lin Yi to treat you to lunch for a month. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Are you even worthy?”
Jian Ai smiled instead of being angry. She looked at Li Yunmei and replied provocatively, “I’ll have to thank you properly for that. If you didn’t push me into the pond, Lin Yi wouldn’t have come to apologize to me. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy free lunch. After all, half of the credit for this free lunch is yours, Li Yunmei!”
