The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1684: Confession (Part 1)
Fortunately, Jiang Xun didn’t focus his gaze on her but called out to two other female classmates, one of whom was Zheng Jiaojiao.
Since the last apology, Zheng Jiaojiao had been a lot more behaved, not daring to bother Jiaojiao again, but she still liked to hover around Jiang Xun. Rumor had it that her family and the Jiang Family were somehow old acquaintances, implying she had a good relationship with Jiang Xun. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Wu Huan even specifically asked about this, but whether they were old acquaintances or not, Jiaojiao wasn’t sure. As long as they didn’t bother her, she didn’t care either way.
However, she felt it probably wasn’t true because she remembered when Ye Zuya’s father introduced Jiang Bin to Ruan Hao, the flattering attitude didn’t seem like old acquaintances, more like the Ye Family was trying to climb up to the Jiang Family.
And the connection between Zheng Jiaojiao and the Jiang Family was even more distant. She’s only a distant relative of Ye Zuya, and Zheng Jiaojiao was always using the Ye Family’s name to act arrogantly at school, her family background definitely not as good as Ye Zuya’s, making it even less likely that she had any old connection with the Jiang Family.
But naturally, she wouldn’t say this. When Wu Huan asked, she just answered vaguely.
On the morning of the mountain hike, the school scheduled a meet-up at 6:30 AM. Jiaojiao got up at six with her roommates and then went downstairs.
When Jiaojiao came down, many students in the dormitory building were already heading out. As she reached the second-floor landing, she heard a commotion downstairs and someone exclaiming, as if something exciting was happening.
Li Que, always energetic, ran to the balcony upon hearing the sounds of commotion.
"Wow, seems like someone is confessing downstairs, tsk tsk..." Li Que first saw a bunch of heads, vaguely noticing two people at the center. The girl was obviously saying something to the boy, but as soon as she recognized who the boy was, she turned to Jiaojiao in surprise and waved eagerly: "Little One, come look, isn’t the one downstairs your brother Xun?"
Jiaojiao had already reached the stairway but turned to run to the balcony upon hearing this.
Sure enough, Duan Xi was surrounded by a crowd, and a girl stood in front of him, holding something, her face flushed as she handed it over to him.
Jiaojiao’s heart tightened instantly, the smile on her face disappearing without a trace.
She bit her lip, looking downstairs, her lips turning pale.
"Little One?" Li Que nudged her shoulder.
Duan Xi seemed to feel her gaze too and looked up.
One upstairs, one downstairs, their eyes met.
Jiaojiao bit her lip, watching as the girl pushed the item in her hand forward and loudly said, "Duan, I like you, please give me a chance!"
As soon as the girl finished, there was a cheer around her, causing her face to turn so red it looked like it might drip. Yet her gaze remained bold, fixed on Duan Xi.
And at this moment, Jiaojiao’s heart felt like it suddenly split open, both painful and sour.
She stood with a pale face, lips tightly pressed, wanting to see Duan Xi’s response but also afraid to see it.
At this moment, everyone downstairs was also waiting for Duan Xi’s answer.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze all of a sudden, becoming extraordinarily tense.
Everyone was waiting for Duan Xi’s response, especially Jiaojiao. Although she had an idea of the answer, she still couldn’t help but feel upset and uncomfortable.
