What Ao Yao meant by those words...
Did he want to kill Xu Sanshi?
Only by killing a fellow student of Shrek Academy during a private dispute would one face the punishment of expulsion. If it was merely causing a serious injury, the punishment wouldn't be so severe.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nannan pursed her lips and apologized softly:
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will explain things to him clearly and make sure he doesn't come looking for trouble with you again."
"Causing me trouble? Not really. I'm just a bit curious why this guy would come looking for trouble with me." Ao Yao turned to look at Jiang Nannan. "Senior, you said you already have someone you like. Logically, he should be looking for trouble with that person, not me."
"It couldn't be that this guy is ugly and felt resentful because I'm too handsome, so he wanted to vent his anger on me, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nannan's face became even more flushed.
Having secretly thought about offering herself to Ao Yao because he saved her mother, Jiang Nannan didn't know how to respond to his words. She could only instinctively lower her head to hide her shyness and helplessness.
"Or... does this guy think the person Senior likes is me? That doesn't make sense, does it? Although I am handsome, this is the first time Senior and I have met..."
Before Ao Yao could finish, Jiang Nannan suddenly raised her head.
Her face, which was usually somewhat cold toward others, was now completely crimson, but her eyes were exceptionally firm.
"The person I like is you."
Hmm?
Wait...
Huh?
Now it was Ao Yao's turn to be stunned.
He swore he was just teasing her because she was pretty and her current demeanor was interesting. As a result... as a result, Jiang Nannan actually went straight for the confession?
What kind of development is this? A basic attack baiting out an ultimate, only to end up hard-CCing me instead!
"Though you might not quite understand... I really do like you. I know it's sudden, but... I just wanted you to know my feelings."
Although Jiang Nannan spoke slowly, her words were very firm, and her affectionate eyes remained fixed on Ao Yao's face.
This face was indeed as handsome as Ao Yao himself had claimed; it seemed... she could never get tired of looking at it.
Having received confirmation from Jiang Nannan once more, Ao Yao instinctively glanced at Xu Sanshi, who was still lying unconscious on the ground.
The unconscious and incompetent Xu Sanshi, the blushing yet firmly confessing Jiang Nannan, and the bewildered yet pleasantly surprised himself.
Isn't this also a form of NTR?
Ao Yao no longer cared whether Jiang Nannan could see his diary. Even if she could, and even if she was saying this because she had received a reward from the diary book, it didn't matter.
After all, Jiang Nannan was the first person to confess to him.
So in this situation, should I accept... or should I accept?
"It's truly a surprise to hear Senior say that. Senior is so beautiful, I naturally..."
Before he could finish, a roar that was almost hysterical suddenly rang out from behind Ao Yao and Jiang Nannan.
The sudden roar startled Ao Yao. He instinctively looked back and saw Bei Bei striding over, his clothes somewhat disheveled and his face unable to hide his exhaustion.
"Jiang Nannan, I absolutely do not agree to this!"
After arriving in front of Ao Yao and Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei first gave the unconscious Xu Sanshi a look of shared misery before taking a deep breath and looking seriously at Jiang Nannan:
"Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi really likes you..."
"What does his liking me have to do with me?"
Jiang Nannan coldly interrupted what Bei Bei was trying to say. "I have never accepted his affection from beginning to end, nor have I ever accepted any gifts from him. His liking me is his own business; I should have the right to like someone else, shouldn't I?"
"Could it be that just because he likes me, I have to like him back?"
Jiang Nannan's series of questions immediately left Bei Bei speechless.
But thinking of the scene by the lake yesterday, where Xiao Ya and this freshman kid were kissing, Bei Bei couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Beyond the heartache, he could never allow this damn kid to two-time and toy with the feelings of both Xiao Ya and Jiang Nannan!
"Regardless, you can't like him! You absolutely cannot be together!"
Bei Bei grit his teeth, intending to directly reveal the matter that made him feel humiliated.
But Ao Yao spoke up again, interrupting Bei Bei's casting animation. "Senior Bei Bei, it doesn't seem to be up to you to stop what Senior Jiang Nannan does. In what capacity are you stopping her, and on what grounds?"
"On the grounds that you intend to two-time and toy with the feelings of Xiao Ya and Jiang Nannan!"
Bei Bei glared at Ao Yao with bloodshot eyes, his voice raspy. "Jiang Nannan, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday—he and Xiao Ya were ki... kissing by the lake! He was just about to accept your confession; he's a scumbag! He's not worth your affection at all!"
Xiao Ya... Tang Ya?
Jiang Nannan glanced at Ao Yao, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes.
It seemed... the others were moving much faster than she was.
However, she didn't care.
Her original purpose was simply to repay his kindness. Compared to the nearly humiliating way of making a deal with Xu Sanshi to save her mother's life—only to have someone take the wrong path—this way of repaying the favor was clearly much more acceptable to Jiang Nannan.
Moreover... being with Ao Yao would also grant her rewards from the diary book. More importantly, Ao Yao was much more handsome than Xu Sanshi.
"I know."
Jiang Nannan's airy voice instantly silenced the righteous and aggressive Bei Bei, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
What did Jiang Nannan just say? He hadn't misheard, had he?
Jiang Nannan said she knew? She knew about the relationship between this freshman kid and Xiao Ya, yet she still took the initiative to confess to him, and she didn't mind at all that he was two-timing?
What does this kid have that earns him this!?
Bei Bei's face suddenly turned pale—he suddenly thought, could it be that Tang Ya also knew about this kid's situation and, like Jiang Nannan, accepted this scumbag behavior of two-timing?
Seeing Bei Bei left speechless by her retort, Ao Yao shrugged.
Seriously, what was the point of your disagreement in the first place?
Jiang Nannan and I are a perfect match; since when is it your turn to object, you monster?
"I know, and I don't mind."
Jiang Nannan felt a sense of relief and said in a flat voice, "Since you're here, please take Xu Sanshi away. When he wakes up, please tell him for me that I never want to have anything to do with him again."
"I only like Ao Yao. Even if he has relationships with other girls, I will still only like him. As for Xu Sanshi... I will never like him in this lifetime."
Such heartless and resolute words!
Even though Bei Bei wasn't Xu Sanshi himself but merely a bystander, he couldn't help but feel shocked by Jiang Nannan's words.
