Chapter 113: Chapter 113 She is a Gossip

"Lu Siyuan."

Shen Mianmian looked at the newcomer, her eyes suddenly brightening as she instinctively called out.

Lu Siyuan stopped his bicycle, pushed it to the ground, and walked towards the two of them.

He was young, but stood two centimeters taller than Xu Haiyang. Combined with his fierce expression and sudden arrival, Xu Haiyang was startled and subconsciously let go of Shen Mianmian.

Lu Siyuan pulled Shen Mianmian behind him and glared at Xu Haiyang, "What are you doing with her?"

Recognizing him with his backpack, Xu Haiyang, who had regained his composure, explained, "You’re her classmate, right? Don’t misunderstand, I’m not a bad person. I know Mianmian, and just now she was being bullied; I helped her. I wanted to give her a ride because she was about to be late for school, but she’s stubborn and didn’t want to ride, hence the scene just now."

"Is what he’s saying true?" Lu Siyuan’s expression softened a bit as he turned to Shen Mianmian.

"More or less, but I’m not familiar with him, we can’t really say we know each other." She distanced herself completely from Xu Haiyang, wanting no association with such a person. Someone without morals could do anything.

Lu Siyuan, who had just let down his guard a little, immediately became vigilant again, "You can leave now! I can take her to school. There’s no need for you to."

"Okay." With Shen Mianmian’s classmate there, Xu Haiyang knew that the moment had passed. He no longer insisted on giving her a ride and also felt he had been somewhat impatient just now.

"I must have scared you just now, right? I only wanted to give you a lift. But since your classmate is here, I’ll go ahead."

Forgetting his earlier statement about going to the city for errands, he turned his bike around and rode off in the opposite direction.

Lu Siyuan picked up his bicycle, "Get on quickly."

Shen Mianmian hopped onto the rear seat of the bicycle with a deft kick. Lu Siyuan rode fast; the wind stung her cheeks, and she leaned back against him to shield herself.

"How come you’re here to pick me up?"

They had already passed by Lu Siyuan’s house, and he had clearly come from the direction of the school, obviously making a special trip to pick her up.

"I ran into your sister on the way. She said you thought it was too cold and didn’t want to ride her bike."

When he’d only seen Zhou Siyu alone, he’d been extra cautious and stopped Zhou Siyu to ask. Learning Shen Mianmian was still walking behind, he came to pick her up.

"It’s good you came; I’ll remember this favor." Thinking back to the incident, Shen Mianmian felt a chill but didn’t show it, instead chatting with Lu Siyuan in a light-hearted tone.

Lu Siyuan scoffed disdainfully, "Who was that guy just now? How do you know him?"

That man clearly wasn’t a student, and though he said he knew Shen Mianmian, she said she didn’t know him. Their statements conflicted greatly. If it weren’t for the lack of time, he would have definitely questioned that man thoroughly.

"I’ve only seen him once before; he’s a guy my neighbor’s sister was set up with..."

Shen Mianmian summarized the situation to Lu Siyuan concisely, not hiding the part that she had been talkative. After all, it wasn’t a secret that couldn’t be shared.

"Since when have you become such a blabbermouth?" Lu Siyuan said with a tone of disdain, as it didn’t match her personality.

Shen Mianmian rolled her eyes, "Blabbermouth? I was doing a good deed. With a family like the Xu Family, any girl who marries into it would be jumping into a fire pit."

Mrs. Liu was a kind person, and Xiaocui’s experiences in her previous life were quite similar to her current ones, which moved her to give a word of warning. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu’s family was supportive, and her efforts weren’t in vain.
