Chapter 24

But for some reason this time,

I felt like Lu Xiao was in a low mood.

The way he looked at me, it seemed like he had something to say.

But then I remembered how embarrassed he made me this morning, and I got angry all over again.

He was the one who pretended not to know me first, so why is he looking at me like that now?

Chen Xing continued talking to me, “What a coincidence, I want to apply to S University too.”

I was a bit distracted, feeling like Lu Xiao was still staring at me.

I replied offhandedly, “Oh, that’s great! Let’s go to S University together!”

Just then, I heard Lu Xiao’s friend speaking.

He sounded very surprised.

“Holy crap, Brother Xiao, what are you doing?! Why are you taking that stuff again?!

“Are you trying to kill yourself?!”

“I know what I’m doing. Stay out of it,” he said in a deep voice.

Curious, I turned to see what he was doing.

My wrist tightened.

Lu Xiao had already grabbed my hand.

He pulled with such force that I didn’t even have time to react before he was dragging me off the bus.

Chen Xing: “Hey, what are you doing?”

Lu Xiao just glanced back, giving him a fierce, icy glare.

Lu Xiao’s friend smoothed things over, “It’s fine, it’s fine, we’re all friends.”

And just like that, I was dragged off the bus, completely dazed.

He even made us get off a stop early.

There’s something about Lu Xiao when he’s being silent and moody that’s still a little scary.

He kept a tight grip on my hand and headed straight into an alleyway.
