Chapter 69: Help Again?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ma Lei had a smile on her face as she walked in front to welcome Jian Tan. “You took so long to come over. I almost thought that you were lost.”
As she spoke, she instinctively looked at the girl beside Jian Tan. After seeing Xia Wei’s face clearly, her eyes lit up and the smile on her face became brighter. “This is?”
Just as Jian Tan was about to help her introduce herself, Xia Wei smiled at Ma Lei and Bai Ye. She bowed slightly and replied, “h.e.l.lo, Teachers. My name is Xia Wei.”
As Xia Wei spoke, she turned to look at Bai Ye. A complicated look flashed across her beautiful eyes. She chuckled. “Ms. Bai, happy birthday!”
Bai Ye did not expect Xia Wei to appear with Jian Tan at all. A big smile immediately bloomed on her face. After personally taking the gift from Xia Wei, she smiled and replied, “Alright, alright, alright. It’s good that you’re here. Let’s go upstairs. We made a lot of delicious food at home today!”
As Ms. Bai spoke, she turned to look at Jian Tan. She smiled and continued, “You come too.”
The original book did not mention much about Ms. Bai, so Xia Wei was not sure how to deal with her. Hence, she could only follow the crowd. She glanced at Jian Tan, who was following her from the corner of her eye. For some reason, Xia Wei’s thoughts of a vicious cycle became even more intense!
…..
Thinking that it was really a small world, Xia Wei felt that she was fated with this Best Actor. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten lost together!
Recalling what happened half an hour ago, Xia Wei herself felt a little awkward. If not for Jian Tan’s sudden appearance, she really did not know when she would have walked out of that alley.
“Weiwei? Xia Wei…”
Realizing that someone was calling her name, Xia Wei immediately came back to her senses. She looked at Ms. Bai beside her and smiled. “Huh? Yes? What did you say?”
Seeing that Xia Wei had come back to her senses, Bai Ye asked in amus.e.m.e.nt, “I was just asking you how you met Jian Tan on the way. Why didn’t you tell us in advance so that 1 could get Li Xian to pick you up!”
When Li Xian, who was arranged to sit at a table by Bai Ye, heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Xia Wei. After realizing that she did not care about him at all, he retracted his gaze in disappointment.
“What does this have to do with Li Xian? We stopped contacting him a long time ago,” Xia Wei said bluntly with a smile, not caring at all about the others’ appraising gaze of her at the table.
She did not want to have anything to do with Li Xian. Even if “Xia Wei’”s former teacher was the mediator, that would not do!
However, Xia Wei couldn’t bear to see the unnatural expression on Bai Ye’s face. She thought for a moment and added, “I came even if no one picked me up. Ms. Bai, your courtyard is not bad and the air is quite good!”
Bai Ye smiled gently when she heard that. She did not probe Xia Wei anymore and started talking about other topics.
The expression on Jian Tan’s face had changed several times in such a short period of time. Ma Lei found it interesting and asked softly, “What’s wrong with you today? Why are you happy one moment and unhappy the next? This isn’t like you!”
Realizing that she had no choice, Jian Tan turned around and looked at Ma Lei. He asked softly, “What’s wrong with me? Is it really obvious?”
Ma Lei was stunned.
Following Jian Tan’s gaze, Ma Lei asked curiously, “You’ve been smiling at Xia Wei just now. What are you smiling at? Tell me honestly, how long have you known this beauty? Why do I feel that you two are very familiar?”
However, after Ma Lei asked this question that she was very curious about, the people beside them did not give Jian Tan a chance to say anything!
“I say, Cla.s.s Monitor Xia Wei, what you did today was not very honest! Since you’re coming to celebrate Ms. Bai’s birthday, why didn’t you tell us before? We could have called you along when we came, so that you wouldn’t come alone and look like we’re isolating you together! If others see this, won’t they say that our cla.s.s isn’t united?”
The man who had been sitting beside Xin Xin finally couldn’t take it anymore. The moment he opened his mouth, he made things difficult for Xia Wei, who was beside Bai Ye. As he spoke, he stood up. After glancing at Xin Xin, he raised his head and finished the red wine in his gla.s.s..
