Chapter 103: Great Minds Think Alike
Guan Lei almost always kept a low profile. He usually had his head on his desk during class, glaring at anyone who disturbed him. With his hostility and impatience, most overlooked his handsome features.
"I’m not free; I’m not going!" Shen Xi replied, ill-disposed to Xiang Cheng’s invitation.
Shen Xi turned around and left without giving Xiang Cheng a chance to push further. Zhao Yuan and Guan Lei trailed after Shen Xi. They were only present because the class monitor said to gather for a campus tour. It was now clear that their class monitor had been bribed to assemble them to create a gallery for Jiang Xue’s moment of glory.
Unhappy with the lack of attention directed at her, Jiang Xue tugged Xiang Cheng’s arm, stopping him before he could follow Shen Xi. "Brother Xiang Cheng, since Xixi isn’t free, we should leave her be. We can go and eat by ourselves."
Xiang Cheng was dissatisfied with Shen Xi’s rejection and her crass attitude towards him. Moreover, she had embarrassed him in front of so many people!
Previously, Shen Xi could be said to have had some financial standing to back her arrogance. It was something Xiang Cheng could understand and accept. However, times had changed, and she was now from a poor family. Her arrogance was no longer something he could stomach, nor was it a humiliation he could abide by.
Perhaps, if viewed from another angle, Shen Xi’s personality was the same as it had always been. Did it mean Shen Xi still liked him as before? Xiang Cheng was impressed with himself and his ability to process this information.
So... was Shen Xi’s arrogant and difficult-to-please demeanour a show of jealousy? Was Shen Xi jealous of him, Xiang Cheng?
