Chapter 2920 Confession
Chapter 2920 Confession
Jenny listened to Charlene's explanation and didn't press the matter further.
"Okay! Try to come when you have time."
She fully understands that for students, academic studies are always the top priority, and they certainly don't have as much free time as working people.
Moreover, they are all second-generation rich kids who manage their own companies and have relatively flexible and independent schedules.
So, everyone tacitly stopped urging them.
This matter was temporarily put aside.
The next morning, when Shi Ye woke up, Ma Xi was already up and having breakfast with Zhou Si and Sha Luk.
As Ye pulled out a chair and sat down, Marcy asked, "Have you thought it through regarding last night's issue?"
Shino didn't say anything, but silently picked up his cutlery.
Zhou Si turned his head upon hearing this, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Seeing that he didn't react, Marcy pressed on, "What are your thoughts? Tell me quickly."
Shino remained silent, his eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought.
Marcy knew her brother's personality well, and knew that he was used to keeping things to himself, so she simply changed to a more direct approach and asked him bluntly: "Just answer me, have you ever thought about disarming the staff?"
Upon hearing this, Shah Rukh, who was sitting to the side, immediately looked puzzled, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "What's going on? Why would you dislocate someone's hand for no reason?"
Who did they have a conflict with?
His tone was tinged with worry and confusion, and his gaze shifted back and forth between Shino and Masi, clearly surprised by this sudden conversation.
Zhou Si chuckled and explained, "It was just an analogy, don't worry, I didn't have any arguments with anyone."
Upon hearing this, Shah Rukh's tense expression finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good."
Marcy kept her eyes fixed on Tokino, seemingly waiting for his response.
Shi Ye pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Perhaps... a little."
Marcy's eyes lit up immediately, and a bright smile bloomed on her face: "Really?"
Just a little bit is enough!
As she spoke, she smiled and picked up her cup, taking a big gulp of milk.
Although she didn't say anything more, she was secretly happy for her best friend.
All that hard work over such a long time has finally paid off.
……
After breakfast, Marcy prepared to go to school, and Zhou Si saw her off.
Before leaving, Ma Xi suddenly said to Shi Ye, "By the way, I heard that Senior You Qian invited Xia Lin to lunch today, and Xia Lin accepted the invitation."
What do you think they'll talk about?
Tokino, "..."
Without waiting for his reply, Shi Yang happily took Zhou Si's arm and went out with light steps.
On her way to school, the morning light was soft, the shadows of the trees swayed gently, and Marcy hummed a song, her mood exceptionally bright.
Zhou Si found it amusing and asked, "You did that on purpose?"
Marcy nodded slightly, a sly glint in her eyes, and readily admitted, "Yes, these kinds of things should be said to make him uncomfortable!"
Zhou Si raised an eyebrow, asking with a hint of worry, "Aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble later?"
Marcy waved her hand dismissively, her tone very certain, "He won't."
In any case, it's Xia Lin's own freedom to decide who she eats with and who she dates now.
He's not her boyfriend, what right does he have to interfere?
She paused, then added, "Even if he really is my boyfriend, shouldn't I respect his normal social rights? Everyone has a few friends, right?"
Zhou Si nodded thoughtfully and said, "That makes sense, but aren't you really worried that your best friend might get kidnapped?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yang couldn't help but smile slightly. She looked relaxed and said, "No, she's not the kind of person who would be easily swayed or change her mind."
Besides, no matter what, people should have the right to pursue their dreams!
Charlene always has her own principles and sense of propriety. If she truly doesn't like someone, she will definitely refuse decisively and won't let anyone misunderstand.
Zhou Si nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.
I quickly dropped the person off and then went to the company.
In the morning, Charlene and Marcy finished their class together and came out to find You Qian waiting for her outside.
Charlene said apologetically to Marcy, "I probably won't be able to have lunch with you."
Marcy didn't mind at all, and waved her hand with a smile, saying, "It's okay, you can go ahead."
She didn't forget to turn to You Qian and remind him, "Make sure you get him back safely!"
You Qian immediately smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, I definitely will."
Not long after, Xia Lin and You Qian left the school together.
They went to a high-end restaurant that was not far from the school but had a particularly nice atmosphere.
The restaurant had an elegant ambiance and soft lighting, so the two chose a booth by the window.
As the dishes were served, they ate and chatted, discussing everything from the club's recent activities to the recent basketball game and the follow-up matters.
Xia Lin was still feeling anxious and worried that her senior might suddenly confess his feelings or do something like that.
She sipped her juice carefully as she cautiously engaged in conversation, afraid that the atmosphere might suddenly become awkward or tense.
However, as time went by, she gradually realized that she seemed to be overthinking things.
You Qian had no intention of bringing up that matter at all. Instead, they chatted casually about interesting things at school, recent course schedules, and the current situations of their mutual friends.
These lighthearted topics gradually relaxed Charlene's tense nerves, and she began to truly enjoy the dinner, even occasionally laughing out loud at one of his jokes.
Just as she lowered her guard and thought the night would probably end pleasantly, You Qian's tone suddenly took a subtle turn.
He paused, his gaze becoming serious, and his voice lowered as he said, "Junior, the reason I asked you out today wasn't just to treat you to a meal."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think... you probably have some idea of what I feel for you, right? You know how I feel about you, that I like you."
Charlene was holding a mouthful of juice when she heard this and was so startled that she choked on the juice.
She choked suddenly, quickly forced herself to swallow, but still couldn't help coughing lightly twice.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she became visibly embarrassed, stammering as she replied, "Senior, you... this is too sudden!"
You Qian smiled helplessly, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotion and tenderness, and said softly, "It might be true for you, but it doesn't apply to me."
After all, I've had this idea for a while now.
Charlene was even more surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Already?"
