Chapter 254 The Holy Siwen

Chen Yuan went to that shopping mall as Tang Siwen had instructed.

Then, at an open-air cafe, he saw the three people sitting at a white round table.

Among them, Cheng Haiying and Tang Siwen were sitting a little closer, while the handsome "T" (tomboy) opposite them kept observing Tang Siwen with the same look as Xia Xinyu when she discovered him secretly eating roasted chicken.

Guarding her food.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan roughly understood what was going on.

Good, no lesbians, there are no lesbians around me.

Tang Siwen is a straight woman, couldn't be straighter.

And Cheng Haiying is much more wicked than I imagined, simply a little devil…

"I came back this time to find you, Haiying," the short-haired, ear-pierced girl said with a smile, "Are you doing well?"

"I'm fine…" Cheng Haiying wanted to say something, but when she met the other person's gaze, she felt a strong pressure, very suffocating. So, she turned her head and looked at Tang Siwen pleadingly, hoping she could help her.

But clearly, she was even more uncomfortable than her.

The scene became awkward.

Just then, a boy suddenly walked over. Cheng Haiying looked up and realized it was Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan then tapped Tang Siwen's shoulder and grabbed her arm, like catching a child who had sneaked off to a black internet cafe.

Of course, his tone was gentler, not so rough.

"You're here? I finally found you, let's go."

"…Mmm-hmm!"

The moment she saw Chen Yuan, Tang Siwen's lips curved into a slight smile, as if she had seen light, and she nodded vigorously. Then, she got up, not even bothering to say goodbye, and planned to slip away directly.

It was too torturous, every second here was.

Especially after meeting that androgynous girl.

"Siwen…"

Cheng Haiying looked up at her, hesitant to speak.

And the girl opposite them looked at the two of them and the suddenly appearing boy with a confused expression, completely puzzled.

This, this, this… This is different from what Haiying said!

"By the way. She's a very ordinary girl with no lesbian tendencies at all, please don't bother her anymore."

Chen Yuan felt that just taking her away wasn't ruthless enough, so he added this line.

Because there were many people in the shopping mall, some even turned to look, ready for some drama.

Of course, no one dared to take out their phones to film.

The short-haired girl was immediately displeased and said, "Did you have to say it so loud? Who are you trying to embarrass?"

"Embarrass?" Chen Yuan said with a puzzled expression, "I respect all orientations, men loving men and women loving women are both very normal things. If you think I'm making you embarrassed by saying this, you wouldn't be prejudiced against homosexuals, would you?"

"…"

This punch directly stunned the girl, and the words she had prepared were all stuck in her throat.

I'm a real lesbian, how could I be prejudiced?!

Hearing this, Tang Siwen, hiding behind him, was indeed a little embarrassed.

Because she really wasn't a lesbian.

However, Chen Yuan's aggressive manner made her feel relieved.

In her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Cheng Haiying truly felt ashamed and couldn't lift her head.

She really didn't expect things to turn out this way, completely beyond her expectations… I'm sorry, so sorry.

"Let's go."

Chen Yuan took Tang Siwen away from the scene like that.

The two of them didn't stop until they reached the entrance of the shopping mall, then Tang Siwen explained, "Cheng Haiying invited me out to go shopping, saying she wanted to meet a friend. I only realized after I arrived that the other person seemed to like Cheng Haiying, and in that… lesbian kind of way."

"So you realized that Cheng Haiying approached you to reject her. And then, she used you as a shield today to show the other person that she already has someone she likes. But you can't accept that?" Chen Yuan asked.

Tang Siwen crossed her arms, shook her head, her eyebrows drooping, and said dejectedly, "Holding hands with a girl is nothing, but if the other person has the intention of 'kissing,' then I think the previous holding hands also… I'm scared."

"Sigh, I didn't expect Cheng Haiying to be this kind of person."

Chen Yuan could only sigh, it's hard to know a person's heart despite knowing their face.

"I… I don't want to be friends with people who have ulterior motives," Tang Siwen said here, still feeling timid.

"Indeed, this is too bizarre," Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.

"I…" Tang Siwen raised her head, looked at Chen Yuan, and said weakly, "I lowered her ranking, and then Zhou Fu's ranking went up by one. You can tell Zhou Fu about this, so she doesn't feel sad."

"…You're a little too robotic, you don't need to divide things so clearly."

Why does there have to be a best first and a best second?

So, where am I in the ranking?

So anxious.

"Siwen!" Just then, Cheng Haiying ran out of the shopping mall, intending to apologize to Tang Siwen.

But the other girl shrunk behind Chen Yuan again. She only peeked out half her face, her vigilance towards Cheng Haiying was very strong.

And this made her guilt in her heart even heavier.

I'm so bad, I should just die.

How could I, someone like me, share my misfortune with others at the same time…

"Cheng Haiying, you went too far this time, you know that?" Chen Yuan reminded her.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Covering her face with both hands, after taking a deep breath, Cheng Haiying explained to the two of them with red eyes, "Her name is Chu Tian, she was my childhood friend in junior high school. At that time, I was often harassed by some boys. Then one day, the other person went too far, and Chu Tian helped me beat up a boy."

"And then?"

"Then she asked me if I hated boys? I said yes. Of course, I meant the kind of boys who don't know how to read the atmosphere, who self-righteously harass others, it has nothing to do with you…"

"You don't have to put on armor, just say it normally."

It's already what time, and you're still putting on a resurrection armor for yourself, your character is a little too deliberate, right?

"After I said yes, she said she liked me."

"And then you got together?" Chen Yuan asked.

"…" Thinking of this, Cheng Haiying felt uncomfortable and said with difficulty, "Then, she asked me if I liked girls. After all, she had helped me at that time, so I said… I liked her."

"And then… yuri fragrance?" (yuri = girls' love genre)

"Not even here," Cheng Haiying shook her head and continued to recount, "After that, the two of us had a very close relationship. One day in the third year of junior high school, she suddenly kissed me… but because it was on the cheek, I didn't care, and even kissed her back a little. Then, she started kissing my lips… Siwen, don't hide, I definitely won't kiss your lips."

Seeing that she hadn't finished speaking, Tang Siwen burrowed into a hole like a gopher, completely hiding behind Chen Yuan, even keeping the same distance between her legs as Chen Yuan, afraid of revealing even a bit of her body.

I have to say, she's a good seed for playing CS.

"Later, she transferred away, and I thought it was nothing. But now, she's back and says she'll never forget what she said before… I really had no choice but to resort to this strategy."

And this was also the reason why Cheng Haiying was so cautious, as steady as a dog, trying her best not to cause any ambiguity.

Because of saying one wrong sentence, her first kiss was lost so unexpectedly.

Moreover, she had been leaving this foreshadowing until now.

"You approached me just to have me pretend to be your girlfriend and then reject her?"

Walking out from behind Chen Yuan, Tang Siwen looked at Cheng Haiying and questioned her with a disappointed tone.

Cheng Haiying lowered her head and didn't speak.

At this moment, nothing she said could clear her name.

And silence was the best answer.

Tang Siwen understood everything, walked in front of her, and stuffed the bow she had given her into her palm.

Then, she turned to leave.

But halfway there, she realized that Chen Yuan was still standing there, so she quickly hinted to him with her eyes: Come here, let's go together, stand with me!

"I hope you ask her to be your shield because you really think she's charming."

"Instead of thinking she's naive and easily deceived, so you chose this target."

Chen Yuan's words were very calm.

But Tang Siwen's heart was filled with thousands of waves.

She had always been very silly.

When she was little, when asked if she liked her mom or dad, she said dad, and then her mom was angry for a long time that day.

In elementary school, the teacher asked her to be the class monitor, replacing another incompetent class monitor, and she agreed. She really did as the teacher said, reporting people who copied homework, fought, or said dirty words to the teacher, and then the whole class started to hate her.

In junior high school, she stopped talking nonsense, but she went too far, so she became the isolated person everyone talked about.

And at that time, her parents also divorced.

They didn't even ask for her opinion.

In response, Tang Siwen's understanding was that she was too silly and couldn't give good advice.

So, she had been working hard and studying harder, just to be smarter, so that when she encountered those problems again, she could solve them intelligently.

She could also become someone others could rely on.

She had always felt that it was because she was too naive and silly, even so stupid that she invited her mom's ex-husband to her mom's birthday, which led to a lot of grievances now.

But only Chen Yuan was the first to say:

She is silly, so you are not allowed to bully her.

"The former, I swear." Cheng Haiying raised her hand, seriously finished speaking, and explained, "There were so many people that day, I really saw Siwen at first sight."

She was very beautiful, as beautiful as a porcelain doll, making people feel pity.

If it was such a beautiful woman, Chu Tian should know better than to push her luck.

"That's what she said," Chen Yuan said to Tang Siwen.

Tang Siwen was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Then tell her I don't like girls."

"She says she doesn't like girls," Chen Yuan relayed.

"…Got it."

Cheng Haiying looked at Tang Siwen, who was less than two meters away but still needed someone to relay her words, and then understood that she was really silly.

Even getting angry was like an elementary school student…

Looking at Cheng Haiying, who was so guilty that she was almost crying, Tang Siwen couldn't bear it anymore. So, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "I forgive you."

"Really?"

Cheng Haiying asked with a look of salvation.

"But the position of best friend will have to be given to someone else."

Tang Siwen wouldn't say she loved or hated clearly, but she knew who were the real friends, the friends who didn't need anything in return.

After saying this, she turned and left.

At this time, Chen Yuan also followed. And this made her very satisfied.

One of the happiest things in life is that the road I walk is not lonely.

"You're really too kind, if it were me, I would have already turned my back on you," Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh, damn, another saint.

Saint Siwen.

"I…" Tang Siwen was a little sad when she said this. But she slightly turned her gaze, looking at the tall Chen Yuan, and felt more at peace, "I'd rather not make friends outside, it's too dangerous."

"No need, you just need to always keep a cold demeanor and not expose your natural attributes, and no one will dare to bully you."

It could only be said that Wen Zi's personality wasted this face.

With her appearance, even if she used a commanding tone to say to boys, 'Come, lick my little leather shoes,' the masochists would be as numerous as the fish crossing the river.

But she just happened to use the top appearance to do the silliest things.

"Then, if I use my original personality, will I not be able to find friends?" Tang Siwen asked Chen Yuan with some fear.

In other words, no one can stand her true self, right?

Just like how her parents didn't consider her at all when they separated.

I,

Am not likable.

"I don't know how you define it, but you did have to correct yourself when you said the other day that you don't have any good friends," Teacher Chen's small class began, "That is a little hurtful, more or less."

Chen Yuan, He Sijiao, Zhou Yu, and Zhou Fu ate Tang Siwen's cake together that day, wouldn't that count as good friends?

Hearing this, Tang Siwen lowered her head.

I, said the wrong thing again.

"I'm sorry…"

"Don't apologize," Chen Yuan surrendered and reminded her, "Actually, we all treat you as a friend, and we even discussed wanting to eat with you when we go to Ning City. But everyone thinks that you're a top student and a beauty, so they didn't dare to speak up. So, you have to say who you like frankly."

"Mmm." Tang Siwen suddenly understood, then said to Chen Yuan, "I like n…"

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Yuan covered her mouth and urgently reminded her, "Say it clearly, explain the attributive."

This time, Tang Siwen understood, nodded seriously, and used sincere eyes to tell Chen Yuan: I'll say it properly this time, give me a chance.

"Okay, you say it again."

"I like being friends with you, and He Sijiao, and Zhou Fu, Zhou Yu… is okay too," Tang Siwen said frankly.

"Great, that's very well said, especially the last addition, I feel it's a stroke of genius."

Joke Analysis: After all, they ate the cake together, although she's not that familiar with Zhou Yu yet, she still reluctantly added him, making people unable to help but smile.

"Then, let's go to karaoke, if you don't want to sing, just tell me," Chen Yuan took the initiative to invite her, "Don't worry about bothering others, you can even go Dutch on the party fee, everyone will definitely welcome you."

"Mmm-hmm." Tang Siwen nodded and agreed.

Then, the two of them went to the karaoke together. Suddenly, Tang Siwen opened her mouth and said, "Will she come?"

"She?" Chen Yuan reacted and then said, "Are you talking about Xia Xinyu? She'll be here soon."

So, Tang Siwen suddenly stopped and stood in place.

Chen Yuan walked a distance before realizing that she had been left behind, standing there alone, so he turned back and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Tang Siwen looked away and noticed that there was a baozi shop next to her. So, she pointed to it and said, "You go first, I'll buy some baozi."

[Is she there? Should I still go?]

[Why can I only go when she's not there?]

[I don't understand, but I think…]

[It's my problem]

"Then I'll go first."

Tang Siwen nodded and stood in front of the baozi shop.

"Hello, what kind of filling would you like?"

"Jiang Rou Niurou Bao (Braised Beef Baozi)."

…

When Chen Yuan arrived at the entrance of the karaoke place, Xia Xinyu said that she was almost there. So, he stood there waiting.

Not long after, Xia Xinyu, wearing a light brown sweater, a maroon cloth skirt on the lower half of her body, and her hair completely loose, transformed from a small fresh style to a milk tea sweet girl, stood in front of Chen Yuan.

"The school uniform is still better," Chen Yuan said.

"Ah? Is it very, very ugly?" Xia Xinyu pointed to herself and asked with some worry.

"Not ugly, but I don't want so many people to be able to see it."

"Hey! Did you see that my grades haven't dropped, so you're here to mess with my mind again, right?"

Although Xia Xinyu didn't hate such sweet talk and was even slightly swayed by emotions, Chen Yuan's deliberate forward offensive made her feel that this boy would sooner or later drive all the study people out of her mind.

In the end, only he would be left.

In the end, he would still say something sarcastic there: Fourth Middle School's top student, so easily defeated?

"It is the truth."

Chen Yuan didn't know why, but he wanted to catch Xia Xinyu and praise her.

Praise her every day.

"Okay, okay." Xia Xinyu was made to laugh, and then deliberately provoked, "When you see your friends later, you should also praise me more. Say as much cheesy stuff as possible, anyway, I'm not afraid."

"Can I?" Chen Yuan asked in return.

"Mmm, why can't you?" Xia Xinyu asked back.

"Okay then." Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and said to Xia Xinyu, "Let's go in."

"Are you really coming?"

Xia Xinyu was originally just talking big, but she didn't expect the other person to play it so big, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Don't do that, let that couple take the limelight. Or, the humans Zhou Yu and He Sijiao you mentioned. I still… want a reserved and introverted persona."

See, this is Yu Zi.

So weak.

A strong person at talking big, classic high attack and low defense.

One hand attacking is indeed earth-shattering, making the boy wish he could offer his heart for it.

But the defense is a little weak and doesn't look good.

Characteristics: Hard-mouthed.

"By the way, there may be another girl coming," Chen Yuan said in advance, not wanting any misunderstandings to occur later, "She's a friend of mine, and our mutual friends are, humans Zhou Yu, He Sijiao, Zhou Fu."

"So, what does this girl look like?"

This was the question Xia Xinyu cared about.

"I have face blindness, I don't know."

"Here it comes again…" Xia Xinyu complained, "I've discovered that you usually pretend to be dumb when you don't want to lie about something."

"Good-looking, really good-looking, can be called the number one beauty of class eighteen…"

"Hey! How can you praise other girls like that?" Xia Xinyu said seriously, really anxious.

"So, what do you want me to say?"

Chen Yuan looked at her and asked with a confused expression.

Xia Xinyu then realized that he was saying that she was double-standarding…

And it was indeed true.

If he lied and said she wasn't good-looking, then he would have a guilty conscience.

If he said she was pretty, then it would be… how can you say other girls in front of me?

Crap, I've already become the so-called willful little fairy.

"Just kidding." So, after being unreasonable, Xia Xinyu chose to muddle through, "I trust you very much, just like Zhou Fu said, a good role model for Xia Hai's male virtue."

"No, how can you talk to her on such a large scale?"

"Basically, they are all praising you, don't worry."

"Then what's outside of the basics?"

Facing Chen Yuan's serious questioning, Xia Xinyu's eyebrows curved into crescents: "Hehe."

"Hehe your ghost, hehe…"

While the two were joking like this, Tang Siwen walked over. And seeing that school uniform and Chen Yuan's description of "the number one beauty of class eighteen," Xia Xinyu immediately became vigilant.

Her skin is really good, her eyes are so beautiful.

Frankly speaking, Xia Xinyu thought she was prettier than herself.

"Chen Yuan…"

So, as the other person stood in front of her and was about to speak, Xia Xinyu grabbed Chen Yuan's hand, interlocking her fingers with his.

Her gaze also became very confident.

"You, hello."

Seeing that the other person had misunderstood, Tang Siwen quickly took out the baozi she had just bought and handed them to the two of them separately: "My favorite baozi… I bought them for you at the intersection just now."

"Thank, thank you."

Receiving Tang Siwen's baozi, and looking at the other person's cautious eyes…

Xia Xinyu won't be able to sleep tonight.
