Chapter 122: Unrest
This novel is translated and hosted on bcatranslation
When Feng took his leave, River turned her attention to Miles, her face contorted into a mixture of concern and disbelief.
“Did you not pick up on it?” she initiated, her voice quivering slightly. “The way Feng carried himself around you was dripping with arrogance and disdain. He was deliberately trying to belittle and mock you. Why did you even entertain his presence? You should’ve just told him to leave, even if you thought it was for my sake.”
She took a deep breath before adding, “What’s more, he’s clearly not trying to befriend me for the right reasons. To be frank, I have a strong aversion to men who behave like him. The only reason I’ve put up with his antics this long is that we once shared a classroom.”
She looked deeply into Miles’s eyes, “The next time he shows up, I want you to find a solution to get him out of our lives. I have faith that if you set your mind to it, you’d come up with something.” River hoped, more than anything, that Feng would stop harassing her. She didn’t want any friction between Feng and Miles.
Miles, always the voice of reason, responded in his typical calm manner, “He’s just another person, River. We can’t blow our lids every time someone tries to put us down.”
But River was perplexed, “Are you really thinking of befriending him after all he’s done?”
Miles quirked an eyebrow, amusement playing on his face, “I won’t deny that I’ve developed quite a distaste for this former classmate of yours. Should I teach him a lesson?”
River’s eyes practically jumped out of her sockets, “Hold on! A minute ago, weren’t you talking about befriending him?”
