Chapter 13

Because of the unavoidable factor of having to go back to class, Huo Wan did not have time to explain this matter to Lin Dang in detail and clear up the misunderstanding.

Sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want!

The one I like is clearly you. How can you suspect that I like someone else?

However, the two of them were standing in different positions, so the way they looked at the problem was also different.

Huo Wan felt that she and Zhao Yangyang were not that close at all, but in Lin Dang’s eyes, they were exactly that close.

They were together during class and after class, and after going home at night, they would occasionally make plans to play games together.

Huo Wan left without giving a clear answer, and to Lin Dang, that was the same as admitting it by default.

So today, for the first time ever, she spaced out in class.

The teacher stood on the platform, writing and drawing on the blackboard, but Lin Dang did not hear a single word. She only stared bailiantales.com blankly at the dense words in her textbook, her thoughts having drifted off to who knew where long ago.

The gel pen in her hand gathered a small blot of ink on the page of the book. It was not until it soaked through the paper and the ink seeped onto the next page that she noticed.

Actually, early dating was not completely unacceptable.

Lin Dang compromised in her heart. If Huo Wan liked it, then as long as it did not affect her studies, she would not oppose it. She would not be so tactless as to run to the adults and tattle either.

It was just that if things were like this…

A lot of Huo Wan’s free time would no longer be divided out to her.

Thinking of this, Lin Dang became very unwilling again in her heart.

The third and fourth classes passed very quickly. When the bell rang at the end of the last class, waves of cheers sounded inside the classroom.

There would be a parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon, so for once, they were given the whole afternoon off.

Huo Wan dawdled as she packed up her things, not feeling excited at all over the sudden unexpected holiday. Zhao Yangyang was beside her, talking so much that spit was practi​read the original at bailiantales.com​cally flying, but she did not hear a single word.

“Hey, want to go to the bookstore together this afternoon? I can treat you to a meal!”

The boy was unhappy. He casually stretched out his hand and placed it on the shoulder of the girl beside him.

Huo Wan had already gone the entire morning… no, it should be said that ever since she had come back from outside during the long break, she had not properly listened to him speak. Did he not need face? At least respond a little!

“I’m not going. Stay farther away from me.”

Huo Wan frowned and directly slapped his hand away, her tone a little impatient.

In kindergarten, he had been like a little tagalong. How was he still this annoying after growing up?

Just like Lin Dang, she had not listened to a single word in these last two classes.

She had been thinking the entire time about why Lin Dang would have the illusion that the person she liked was Zhao Yangyang.

After thinking it over and over, she could not come up with a clue.

In the end, she could only conclude that it was because she had been walking too closely with Zhao Yangyang, this little tagalong.

So this was all Zhao Yangyang’s fault!

“What?”

Zhao Yangyang was disliked for no reason at all and could not understand what exactly Huo Wan was dissatisfied with. He did not seem to have done anything recently that would make her hate him, right?

“Zhao Yangyang, stay away from me!”

Huo Wan picked up the last pen on the desk and slapped it against Zhao Yangyang’s chest, saying irritably,

“It’s because you come to me to play games every day that Dangdang thinks I’m early dating you. Today is our last day as deskmates. I can’t help you anymore. Go find someone else.”

She was already preparing to talk to the homeroom teacher about changing seats. It was not as if she was the only one in the whole class with good grades. Changing to someone else would be the same.

Besides, after Zhao Yangyang became deskmates with her, he had not ​Read on BaiLianTales​become that much more serious in class anyway.

It was exactly the same as what Grandpa Huo had said.

Huo Wan had a heavy streak of pride in her heart, and at home, she had also been pampered and held up by everyone. She was not the kind of person who could speak nicely to just anyone. She looked easy to get along with and had many friends, but in truth, those were all surface-level circles.

Normally, messing around with Zhao Yangyang was fine. But if Zhao Yangyang’s existence affected the relationship between her and Lin Dang, then sorry.

Zhao Yangyang could only become cannon fodder.

Huo Wan did not give Zhao Yangyang the chance to keep talking. After putting the last pen into her desk, she slung on her schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.

The boy behind her had an indescribable bitterness hidden in his eyes. After so long, he had originally thought that his relationship with Huo Wan had made the slightest bit of progress. In the end, one sentence from Lin Dang had beaten everything back to its original form.

He did want to early-date Huo Wan, but this was something that had not even drawn the first stroke of the eight characters yet. If he said it aloud, even he himself would feel completely confused. Yet the most stifling part was that because he really did have those thoughts, he could not even open his mouth to refute it.

His gaze moved away from Huo Wan’s back, and he glanced at the figure outside the classroom.

The girl in the corridor was standing ramrod [Read on BaiLianTales]straight beside the back-door window. No one knew how long she had been standing there. The moment Huo Wan left the classroom, she ran into her face-to-face.

Although she knew that Lin Dang would definitely be waiting for her at the classroom door after class today, at this moment, she still could not help nervously swallowing.

That bold and confident manner she had shown when facing Zhao Yangyang just now vanished all at once in front of Lin Dang.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips, not knowing how much of the conversation she had just had with Zhao Yangyang the other girl had overheard.

Recently, whenever she saw Lin Dang, she always felt like a guilty thief. It was probably because she was hiding a secret in her heart that could not be spoken aloud…

“Let’s go. Didn’t you say before that you wanted to watch that new movie? We won’t study today. Let’s go watch a movie.”

Lin Dang very naturally reached out and grabbed the other girl’s wrist, leading Huo Wan toward the outside of the teaching building.

She had done this action countless times before.

She had not heard what Huo Wan said to Zhao Yangyang. But from Zhao Yangyang’s expression just now, she estimated that Huo Wan probably had not said anything nice to him.

Maybe the two of them had fought?

Although she and the other person could also be considered kindergarten classmates, they were only classmates.

The only thing she cared about was Huo Wan’s affairs.

If one fought while dating… one’s mood would probably be bad, right? After thinking for two classes, and combining that with Huo Wan’s abnormal behavior recently, Lin Dang was already certain that Huo Wan was early dating, and she had also already accepted this fact.

Even though there was a slight unpleasant taste in her heart.

She had never dated before, so she did not know what kind of mood one would be in after fighting with the person one liked, but one definitely would not be happy.

So Lin Dang, who had originally planned to go straight home and grind through test papers, temporarily changed her mind.

She decided to pull Huo Wan out and let her properly relax.

Just like that, Huo Wan was inexplicably saddled with the label of early dating. Immediately afterward, she was also saddled with the label of “early dating and fighting with her boyfriend.”

The person involved, a certain Huo who knew absolutely nothing, was ​bailiantales.com​taken out by Lin Dang to enjoy an afternoon of freedom.

She was still wondering why Lin Dang did not mention a single word about what had happened that morning. She had already prepared a whole new explanation to brush the other girl off, but in the end, the other girl actually did not ask.

For the entire afternoon, Lin Dang was unusually considerate, and Huo Wan enjoyed supreme VIP treatment.

The movie was a youth series film, and it just so happened to be about young boys’ and girls’ romantic feelings. The plot structure was very good. Although it was somewhat cliché and melodramatic, it still made people shed emotional tears.

When the film reached its climax, there were already girls who could not help quietly crying, probably because the scene had touched their feelings.

At this moment, the whole theater was filled with a youthful yet sorrowful atmosphere. The film’s background music also began to play at this time, its timing perfectly placed.

Lin Dang did not feel much. Because she had never experienced it herself, there was naturally no way for her to feel sad.

Throughout the whole movie, instead, she kept looking at the person beside her from time to time.

She was somewhat worried that Huo Wan would have her barely improved mood ruined by this movie.

But the person being watched had no idea at all… Huo Wan was getting a little sleepy.

The reason she had wanted to watch this movie was because its online marketing had been done very well.

So when they had been chatting before, she had casually mentioned it to Lin Dang. Unexpectedly, the other girl had remembered it just like that.

Only after spending money and walking into the theater did she realize that some highly rated movies were not necessarily suitable for everyone to watch.

For example, her. Right now, she had absolutely no sense of immersion in these matters of love between men and women.

As sleepiness struck, Huo Wan could not help turning her head slightly to one side and secretly yawning.

Sleepy tears rose involuntarily in her eyes. If she did not raise her hand and wipe them away, they would be about to fall… So she had no choice but to lift her hand and wipe her tears.

Yet this scene was seen perfectly by Lin Dang, who had been paying close attention to her every move.
