The Beloved and Pampered Girl - Chapter 738:
Chapter 738: Chapter 738: The Iron Triangle is Formed
Xiaoting whispered the matter concerning Ouyang Jing into Jian Dan’s ear.
Seeing the two of them whispering, Ouyang Jing knew that the girl must have told Jian Dan about his situation.
After knowing about his situation, there was no one who would want to sit with him, so he very tactfully stood up, ready to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Xiaoting’s words didn’t cause a single change in Jian Dan’s expression.
“You don’t expect me to help you finish this meal, do you? I definitely can’t eat that much! Hurry up and sit down, finish your food – wasting it is a very shameful thing!”
“You know about me…”
“What do I know? Look at you, a grown man, dragging your feet – hurry up and sit down to eat!” Jian Dan’s patience was already running thin.
Ouyang Jing hesitated, picked up his chopsticks, and began eating the meal in front of him…
“Your name is Ouyang Jing?”
“Yes!”
“I’m Jian Dan; I just transferred here!”
Just transferred here, no wonder!
“This is Yang Xiaoting!”
“Jian, did you understand what I just told you?” Xiaoting asked for confirmation.
“Understood!”
“Then you still…”
“Are you afraid?”
Yang Xiaoting looked into Jian Dan’s eyes and was stunned for a good while before her lips slowly curled into a smile, “Afraid! But willing!”
Xiaoting’s words made a charming smile spread across Jian Dan’s face, “You heard!”
“What does that mean?” Ouyang Jing was a bit slow to catch on.
“Were you dumb to death in your last life?
Isn’t the meaning obvious?
It means we want to become friends with you!”
“Friends? Are you crazy? You know I’m Ouyang Jing and you still want to be friends with me?” Ouyang Jing couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Ever since high school, it had been a long time since he felt the taste of having friends.
“Then you can just consider the two of us as crazy,” Jian Dan offered his hand across the table.
Yang Xiaoting smiled and stacked her hand on top of his, and then both turned their gaze to Ouyang Jing, “Willing to be the third crazy one?”
Ouyang Jing looked at the two girls across from him, his hand hesitating beneath the table, rubbing his clothing hem, not daring to put it on top.
If he put his hand there, then from that day forward, these two girls would bear the label of his friends, and those people would certainly not let them off.
But the temptation was just too great.
“Can’t you, as a grown man, stop hemming and hawing!” Jian Dan frowned and spoke.
“Exactly, we are not worried about the consequences, are you still scared!” added Xiaoting.
“But…”
“If you keep hesitating, we might just change our minds!” Jian Dan made a move as if to withdraw his hand.
Ouyang Jing, seeing their hands about to be withdrawn, reacted instinctively. The hand that was just under the table a moment ago was now on top of the two girls’ hands.
Ouyang Jing’s gesture made Jian Dan and Yang Xiaoting burst into laughter.
Ouyang Jing looked at the girls’ smiles and, not knowing why, he also felt less afraid; his face too sported a smile he hadn’t shown in a long time.
“Ouyang Jing, didn’t expect you’d look quite handsome when you smile! Make sure to smile more often from now on!”
Almost everyone in the cafeteria cast their eyes toward them.
The combination of Jian Dan and Yang Xiaoting was already enough to keep people at a distance. Now with Ouyang Jing added, what kind of odd group was this?
As the three of them finished eating and were about to leave the cafeteria, Jian Dan subconsciously looked back…
“Jian, what’s the matter?”
“Feels like someone has been staring at me, it’s nothing! Maybe I’m overthinking it. Let’s go!”
When Jian Dan’s gaze disappeared from the cafeteria, Zhang Yang’s gaze finally pulled back.
It was only when he averted his eyes that Zhang Yang realized—he had actually been staring at Jian Dan so intently….
