“And didn’t we talk about this seriously? You also said that you wouldn’t mention it again!” Jian Ai added.

Guan Tao quickly raised her hand and pulled herself out. “I didn’t say anything!”

Seeing this, Xia Qinghuan couldn’t help but glare at Guan Tao. Then, she nodded dejectedly. “Alright, alright. I crossed the line. I won’t mention it anymore.”

Then, Qinghuan sighed deeply and looked at Jian Ai. “But Jian Ai, I still want to say this. Everyone knows that Lin Yi likes you. You also know that. If you don’t give him an attitude, are you going to keep leaving him hanging? I find him so pitiful.”

When Jian Ai heard this, she couldn’t help but look at Qinghuan and say, “Be careful with your words. When did I leave him hanging? My attitude has always been very clear. I also told him I don’t like him anymore. How do you want me to give him an attitude? I can’t possibly cut ties with him, right? I won’t interact with him anymore?”

She shook her head. “I treat Lin Yi as a very important friend. Even if I know he likes me, I did nothing ambiguous or suggestive to him. He did nothing overboard. Isn’t this all our effort to maintain our current friendship?”

“Besides, I want to draw the boundaries clearly, but you have to give me a chance. He said nothing, but if I go up to refuse him, this will embarrass him, right? Besides, what’s going on?”

Xia Qinghuan thought about Jian Ai’s words and couldn’t help but smack her lips. “That seems to be the case. If he plucked up the courage to confess to you, it’s good that you reject him and make things clear. The key is that he didn’t react.”

“I think Lin Yi feels that the time is not ripe yet. After all, Xiao Ai subconsciously rejected him once. Xiao Ai said that she doesn’t like him anymore!” Guan Tao analyzed. “He must be waiting until he’s confident before confessing. He doesn’t want to be rejected.”

Jian Ai helplessly said, “Actually, I think our relationship is quite well now. I used to have a crush on him. You all know that Lin Yi is my first love. So it’s fine if he likes me now. Everyone is at an age where their hormones are agitated. I’m not a fairy from the sky that prohibits humans from blaspheming.”

“Lin Yi is so outstanding. He will meet many good girls who like him in the future. Perhaps after a while, he will meet other suitable girls and not like me anymore.”

Xia Qinghuan chuckled and shook her head in disbelief. “I think it’s difficult. Lin Yi is already infatuated with you, right? He went to that martial arts school to practice martial arts because of you? Look at how tanned he is now. He looks like a mixed-blood.”

“Pfft…” Guan Tao couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. Then, she said, “He’s better now. When school first started, he was simply amazing. I haven’t seen him this tanned even when he plays basketball every day.”

As they were talking, Lin Yi and the rest walked over after their meal.

“What are you talking about? Tao Zi is smiling,” Lin Yi asked curiously.

Because the martial arts school closed on the first of October holidays, after this period of recovery, Lin Yi had become much fairer. Just as he had said, his skin was like this. It was easy to get tanned, but he would become fair again soon.

Guan Tao quickly smiled and said, “Nothing.”

“Then take your time eating. We’re going to play basketball. Come over if you have nothing later,” Yan Tian said.
