Jealousy, screams, envy, and burning gazes all surrounded Su Yan.
She wanted to stay a bit farther away from him because being so close made it hard for her to see his expression clearly.
As a result, her butterfly tie was still being held by him, and as soon as she stepped back, she was pulled back to her original position.
She spoke in a calm, soft tone,
"I don't know which class you're in."
She only knew that his na was Jiang Ran, but he hadn't told her which class he was in.
Jiang Ran looked at her, observing her serious expression, and for so reason, he actually believed what she said.
He nodded, furrowing his brow slightly before it smoothed out again.
With a calm deanor,
"Tenth class of the second year. I want to see it before school ends this afternoon. Otherwise..."
As he spoke, he tugged on her butterfly tie again.
Su Yan felt... this person was probably fixated on her tie.
Sure enough, his next words were,
"If I can't see it, your tie will be the compensation."
She opened her mouth, wanting to speak.
The screams of the crazy girls nearby were sharp and piercing.
Successfully stopping Su Yan.
She could only nod honestly.
"Got it."
Only then did he let go.
The impatience on his face subdued, he turned and walked back to the basketball court.
Cheng Xingyang glanced at Jiang Ran.
He noticed that Jiang Ran's eyes were downcast and his deanor and aura suddenly beca lazy.
No longer fiery like the past few days.
He asked,
"Still playing?"
Jiang Ran lifted his eyelids,
"I'm done."
"OK"
Cheng Xingyang looked at Jiang Ran like this, and couldn't help but look at the girl standing in the middle of the group of girls.
Only then did he see the girl's appearance clearly.
Delicate and weak, obedient, with moist eyes.
The well-behaved type.
Pleasing to the eye, attractive.
But that's all there was to it.
A girl like this wasn't unique at Imperial Capital High School.
How could she make Jiang Ran look at her with such favor?
Cheng Xingyang held a basketball in one hand as he walked out of the court, but he couldn't help looking in Su Yan's direction.
He looked for a long ti but couldn't figure anything out.
Because of this unexpected event, the silent Su Yan suddenly received attention from nearly all the girls in her grade.
Eyes filled with jealousy, suspicion, shock, and envy—their mixed emotions stirred restlessly, but because it involved Jiang Ran, they didn't dare to approach and ask.
It wasn't until she returned to class that these gazes began to lessen.
Finally, soone couldn't hold back and ca up to Su Yan,
"Do you know Jiang Ran?"
As soon as the words fell, the whole class fell silent.
Everyone's ears perked up, listening to how she would answer.
Su Yan sat in her seat and raised her eyes,
"I've t him twice."
She answered obediently.
The girl couldn't help but ask again,
"What's the thing about Jiang Ran's tie?"
"His arm was injured, so he used the tie to stop the bleeding for ."
As soon as the words fell, so people sighed in relief. They thought it was sothing ambiguous, but it turned out to be mutual help between classmates.
The girl crossed her arms, looking skeptical,
"Would he stop your bleeding for no reason? And with his own tie?"
Jiang Ran was not exactly the exemplary student full of positive energy.
Could he really do such a thing?
The girl's first reaction was that Su Yan was making it up.
But just as she was about to continue questioning, the class bell rang.
Her words stuck in her throat, and she glanced at Su Yan with dissatisfaction.
Then she looked at the teacher entering the classroom, finally having to stomp back to her seat.
As she left, her eyes carried a trace of jealousy and a hint of reluctance.
