Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Sleeping, Mask
As soon as Tang Jingyi said this, everyone looked towards the front row.
At the moment, the only empty seat in the front row was next to Wang Yan. Tang Jingyi’s words were too clear—she wanted to sit with Wang Yan!
By now, all the boys in the class felt devastated.
Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, Catwoman Xiaojie, and now Tang Jingyi—these beautiful girls in the class were all like lost souls, completely drawn to Wang Yan.
Could Wang Yan’s charm be this great? He didn’t do anything, but he attracted Tang Jingyi over?
Xie Xiaoxian’s expression changed after hearing this, though she knew Tang Jingyi’s usual character. She simply couldn’t believe that Tang Jingyi wanted to sit with Wang Yan.
Xie Xiaoxian gestured towards the rest of the seats in the front row and said, “Choose a seat here. Whichever one you pick, I’ll have that classmate switch with you.”
She pointed to all the seats in the front row except for Wang Yan’s.
But Tang Jingyi shook her head and said, “No need. Isn’t there an empty seat over there? I’ll sit there.”
The direction Tang Jingyi pointed was precisely Wang Yan’s seat.
Xie Xiaoxian’s heart sank even further and she coldly said, “Wang Yan prefers to sit alone. You should choose another seat.”
Tang Jingyi murmured, “So his name is Wang Yan.”
Then she lifted her head and said, “No problem, Xie. I’ll discuss it with Wang Yan myself.”
Without hesitation, Tang Jingyi walked straight up to Wang Yan and said, “Classmate, can I sit here?”
Seeing this, all the classmates were dumbfounded.
Normally aloof Tang Jingyi, taking the initiative to speak to Wang Yan. She took the initiative to speak to Wang Yan!
Xiong Jie blinked his eyes, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.
“Dead Fish Eyes” looked sympathetically at Xiong Jie, and the classmates around, who heard Xiong Jie swear just now, all turned their heads and gleefully looked at Xiong Jie.
Xiong Jie wished he could slap himself—he’d suffered so much because of Wang Yan yet hadn’t learned his lesson.
But having just made a vow, Xiong Jie gritted his teeth and slid off his chair, lying on the ground.
Yet by this time, everyone’s attention was focused on Wang Yan, and no one noticed Xiong Jie’s actions.
Everyone wanted to know how Wang Yan would respond.
Wang Yan kept his head turned away, not daring to look at Tang Jingyi, and said, “Uh… it’s not convenient.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s response, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, since Wang Yan didn’t agree with Tang Jingyi—she wouldn’t be sitting with him.
But unexpectedly, after hearing Wang Yan’s refusal, Tang Jingyi smiled slightly and said, “Okay, thank you.”
Then she plopped down next to Wang Yan.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, thinking: “Wang Yan said it wasn’t convenient!”
“What’s up with Tang Jingyi? Didn’t she hear clearly?”
“Is it that she didn’t hear clearly or is it deliberate? Has Tang Jingyi’s personality changed since she’s back?”
…
Xie Xiaoxian was also taken aback, not understanding what Tang Jingyi was thinking. But she couldn’t fabricate a reason to directly criticize Tang Jingyi’s interest in Wang Yan.
Now, Xie Xiaoxian was puffing her cheeks in frustration, suddenly noticing Xiong Jie on the ground, and shouted angrily: “Why are you lying there?”
Xiong Jie replied bitterly, “I have a stomachache.”
“Go to the hospital if you have a stomachache.”
“No need, I’ll just lie here for a day.”
Xie Xiaoxian shouted even more angrily, “Fine, then you can lie on the ground for class from now on.”
During this class, Tang Jingyi truly acted differently; she didn’t look at the blackboard at all, instead she stared at Wang Yan’s face the entire time.
Xie Xiaoxian didn’t directly look at Tang Jingyi, but her peripheral vision never left her. Seeing Tang Jingyi like this, Xie Xiaoxian was almost driven mad with anger. Hence, she stood at the podium, speaking nonsensically, full of mistakes.
Yet surprisingly, none of Xie Xiaoxian’s mistakes were noticed by anyone.
Because all the classmates weren’t focused on the lesson.
Tang Jingyi watched Wang Yan, and all the classmates watched Tang Jingyi. With Tang Jingyi’s gaze on him, Wang Yan felt on edge and heard none of the questions Xie Xiaoxian posed.
Everyone was lost in different thoughts.
Xie Xiaoxian wondered: What magic does Wang Yan possess? Why do all the girls seem unable to escape his grasp?
The other classmates thought: Oh my god, even Tang Jingyi is drawn to Wang Yan. Should we switch classes? Sharing a class with Wang Yan is unbearable!
Tang Jingyi thought: Could he really be Grey Wolf? Why does his chin look so similar? And his physique—it’s just like Grey Wolf. I’m so lucky to have found my savior so quickly; how should I repay him?
Wang Yan thought: That night I was clearly wearing a Grey Wolf mask; how did Tang Jingyi recognize me? Women are indeed scary. No way, I can’t let her find out I’m Grey Wolf, or her gaze will cling to me again. With Catwoman Xiaojie already, if Tang Jingyi comes too, I’ll never have peace!
Amid everyone’s dazed state, Xie Xiaoxian finally finished the class. As the bell rang, she waved her hand and left in a huff.
Even after Xie Xiaoxian left, all the classmates remained seated, not moving. They stayed in the same positions as during class, eyes fixed unblinkingly on Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi.
Just then, Tang Jingyi leaned slightly closer to Wang Yan and softly asked, “Wang Yan, do you like going out for a stroll in the evening?”
As soon as Tang Jingyi spoke, the stunned classmates almost fell out of their seats.
“Did I hear that right? Is Tang Jingyi asking Wang Yan out for a walk this evening?”
“That’s way too direct!”
“They say there aren’t reserved girls, just men they’re not interested in. Turns out it’s true!”
…
But to Wang Yan’s ears, upon hearing Tang Jingyi’s words he shivered and quickly shook his head, saying, “No, no, I just like sleeping at night.”
Tang Jingyi blinked again and asked, “Wang Yan, do you like wearing masks at night?”
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled. Who would wear a mask to sleep at night? What exactly did Tang Jingyi mean?
So everyone perked up their ears to listen.
Wang Yan became even more flustered and shook his head vigorously, saying, “No, I don’t have that hobby.”
Seeing Wang Yan’s panic, the classmates became more suspicious, as if Wang Yan had done something wrong.
Just then, Tang Jingyi appeared slightly disappointed but still pursued, “I want to know, Wang Yan, was it you that night?”
Hearing Tang Jingyi’s words, and connecting the three questions, all the classmates widened their eyes.
Night, sleep, mask!
Oh heavens, what did Wang Yan do to Tang Jingyi?
