Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 405 - 274 Daring to flirt with Ye Jie’s sweetheart?_3

He was increasingly convinced that not choosing other universities where his scores would have been more appropriate and instead opting for this college near Capital City was a very wise decision.

Indeed, big cities held more opportunities, and the friends he met here were of a much higher quality than those he had known in his small hometown.

As he thought this, his gaze drifted to the dressing mirror beside him, reflecting himself seated at the dorm desk.

The standard tall and skinny figure of a science student, a clean white shirt, light-colored jeans, short and neat hair, paired with a gentle and elegant smile.

It was indeed a misleading appearance.

Plus, those long eyes of his brimmed with emotion; even now, glancing casually in the mirror, he felt that his gaze was filled with deep affection, and no one would doubt his sincerity.

Zheng Xingxian smiled somewhat narcissistically, lowered his eyelids, and looked back at his phone screen.

Qi Ran’s WeChat avatar was a cartoon bear holding a book, looking peaceful and quiet, just like the impression Qi Ran gave people.

Quiet, cute, but after a long look... it becomes flat and dull.

By contrast, Xiaoqian’s pure desire in the ’selfie’ on her avatar made people more curious to get to know her...

However, even though Xiaoqian had shown an obvious liking for him, he felt that his current concern for Xiaoqian was purely normal among classmates, and Ranran, being so sensible, would not misunderstand even if she knew.

After all, there could be pure friendship between the sexes.

He felt full of boundless possibilities and opportunities, not to mention that tomorrow, he would be visiting Ranran’s friend’s villa...

Zheng Xingxian looked forward to tomorrow’s plans, but at around nine in the morning, he suddenly received a voice call from Qi Ran, starting with a bolt from the blue—

"I’m really so sorry, class president, someone took a sudden leave at the nursing home, and I need to fill in, our scheduled meeting... can we reschedule to tomorrow?"

Qi Ran still referred to him as the class president, as other titles felt awkward for her.

She, too, had only received a last-minute call that morning from the leader, who was in urgent need of extra hands, and she had gotten this part-time job in the first place thanks to the old gentleman’s help; her leader treated her especially well, so when they asked for help now, she truly couldn’t refuse and agreed.

Zheng Xingxian was usually supportive of her dedication to work, and she thought he would understand this time too, but when Zheng Xingxian heard her message, he showed an unusual irritability, "What? I’m already on the train to Capital City, and now you’re telling me to reschedule to tomorrow? I already have other plans for tomorrow. Ranran, the you I remember wasn’t someone unreliable..."

Xia Ye silently glanced at Qi Ran.

There were only the two of them in the dormitory at the moment, and since Qi Ran was hurriedly packing her things for work soon, she had set the voice call to speaker mode.

Xia Ye frowned involuntarily upon hearing the blame in the boy’s tone.

Qi Ran was filled with self-reproach, "I’m really sorry, it was last-minute notice for me too, if you already have other plans tomorrow, then let’s wait until the next opportunity..."

Since Lu Beibei couldn’t come back this weekend either, although Qi Ran wanted to meet the class president, at this point, the best solution was to reschedule.

But Zheng Xingxian obviously didn’t think the same, "I don’t mind being stood up, but what about your classmate? Her family has already prepared to host us, what would they think if we cancel last minute?"

Qi Ran was somewhat baffled by his words.

Not to mention her, Xia Ye was also frowning as she listened.

What could her family think?

If she can’t come today, just reschedule for another day, no?

Xu He was indeed very happy to hear she was bringing a classmate home to visit, but in the end, the person Xu He most wanted to see was her.

Qi Ran, immersed in guilt, didn’t immediately realize what exactly felt off and then heard him continue.

"Here’s what, I’ve already prepared the housewarming gift, and since you can’t make it, I’ll go in your stead, having one of us there is better than both of us missing..."

At these words, Qi Ran was even more at a loss for what to say.

She can’t go, and the class president wants to go on his own? freёnovelkiss.com

Is that... okay?

Wouldn’t that be more trouble for Yeye?

Yet Zheng Xingxian spoke with such conviction, it made Qi Ran wonder if she really had a problem with how she handled personal relationships.

Watching her stand there, frozen in uncertainty, Xia Ye seemed to have an unfathomable thought and suddenly curved her lips slightly, "Fine, go to work with peace of mind, let him come by himself, I’ll make sure to host him well..."
