The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Upon hearing Xiaoting’s suggestion, Zhang Yang instantly felt as if a heavy stone that had been pressing on his heart was lifted.

“Students, the weather does indeed seem like it’s about to rain. If it starts raining, staying at the beach will become very dangerous, so we will have to end our trip early.”

The students, upon hearing this news, were definitely not happy. It was not easy for them to come out and relax, only to have it end abruptly like this.

They too looked up at the sky and noticed that it was indeed getting quite dark. For the sake of safety, everyone agreed to leave early.

However, many students attributed the premature end of the outing to Jian Dan and Zhu Rimen.

“Mr. Zhu, you heard it—we need to go back early. Shouldn’t you come out and help me organize the students, to clean up this place and leave before it rains?”

Inside the tent, Chu Liyuan heard Zhang Yang’s words and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

The zipper on the tent’s door was pulled down, and Chu Liyuan emerged from the tent first. After coming out, he reached back in and pulled Jian Dan out with him, “No problem!”

As he passed by Zhang Yang, he whispered in Zhang Yang’s ear, “Jian Jian has always been mine!”

Each word Chu Liyuan said was like a sharp knife stabbing into Zhang Yang’s heart.

From a young age, Zhang Yang had always been the type not to fight or snatch, but at this moment, a fierce fire ignited in his heart.

For the first time, he did not want to lose!

After packing up, the sky had turned very dark. They had been in the car less than five minutes when it began to rain. Although it was not a downpour, the size and frequency of the raindrops suggested it was a moderate to heavy rain.

It was a good thing they had left early; otherwise, it would have been very dangerous indeed.

On the way back, Xiaoting did not choose to sit with Jian Dan, but rather took the innermost seat at the back.

Ouyang Jing could tell just from their expressions that the two must have had some conflict, and the mood of both was extremely low. He didn’t even dare to speak to either of them.

The whole trip back was extremely quiet, with no one initiating conversation.

Jian Dan still sat beside the uncle, with countless gazes quietly resting on the two of them.

After all, the majority of people love to gossip.

But how could Jian Dan let them have their way? Therefore, there was nothing happening on the trip back that could satisfy their craving for gossip.

When they arrived back at school, it was already nearly dark, so after disembarking, the students did not linger.

In the end, only the two teachers, the three people that included Jian Dan, and Wu Shanshan with her entourage remained.

“Xiaoting, let’s go eat together! Mr. Zhu is treating!” Jian Dan looked at Xiaoting as she spoke.

“Mr. Zhu is treating us to dinner? Does that mean I’m included too?” Xiaoting hadn’t reacted yet when Wu Shanshan barged into the conversation.

Why is Wu Shanshan always around?

Where’s the shame?

“Yeah! Yeah! Mr. Zhu, we’re all your students, you can’t be biased, you know!” Wu Shanshan’s entourage chimed in as well.

“I’m not going, I’m heading back to the dorms.” Xiaoting said, then turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shanshan caught hold of her, “Yang Xiaoting, it’s not often we get a chance to exploit Mr. Zhu like this, are you trying to help~ save money for… Mr. Zhu?” Wu Shanshan purposefully spoke in a mocking tone.

Xiaoting turned her head and looked at Jian Dan, opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything.

“Yang Xiaoting doesn’t oppose, so let’s go!” Wu Shanshan seized the opportunity to speak.

She even warmly linked arms with Xiaoting, giving the impression to those unaware that their relationship was really good.??
