Chapter 235 Confession

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Confession

Shen Mianmian not only didn’t stop but picked up her small feet and dashed away. However, she couldn’t outrun Xu Haiyang and was caught by her backpack after only a few steps.

"Why do you run when all I want is to talk to you for a bit?"

"What do you want to talk about?" Unable to escape, Shen Mianmian simply stopped trying, "First, let go of my backpack."

"Promise me you won’t run away first."

"I won’t run away," Shen Mianmian agreed rather promptly.

Xu Haiyang: "..."

He was somewhat baffled by Shen Mianmian’s behavior.

This girl changes her face too quickly.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, he finally let go.

Gentle enthusiasm wasn’t working, so Xu Haiyang decided to switch tactics and be more direct.

"Mianmian, to be honest, even without your interference, nothing would have happened between Erni and me."

Gazing at Shen Mianmian, the admiration in his eyes was unmistakable, "Actually, it was love at first sight for me. The second time I saw you, I liked you even more. Of course, I’m not asking you to accept me right away, but give me a chance. Let’s start as friends, get to know each other gradually, and see how it goes, what do you think?"

Shen Mianmian felt disgusted.

Her suspicions were confirmed; Xu Haiyang’s words indeed disgusted her.

Her expression grew instantly colder.

"Xu Haiyang, I’m only sixteen years old, not yet an adult; I’m a child. Do you think it’s appropriate to say these things to a child?"

"Sixteen is not that young. Some people are mothers by the age of sixteen," Xu Haiyang said.

Shen Mianmian felt even more repulsed.

"You’d better stop coming to find me otherwise, I will call the police and report that you’re harassing a student."

"Mianmian, I just like you, and I haven’t done anything excessive to you. Calling the police won’t help," Xu Haiyang was not scared at all, thinking that Shen Mianmian was just trying to scare him.

Thinking that girls like to be coaxed, he took a handkerchief out of his pocket, "This is for you."

Upon seeing the pink handkerchief, Shen Mianmian’s gaze suddenly narrowed. It was the same color as Zhou Siyu’s.

Was it a coincidence?

Seeing that Shen Mianmian was staring at the handkerchief, Xu Haiyang thought she was moved and his lips curved into a smug smile.

"If you like it, I can give you another one later. I can also give you fragrant ointments. Just agree to be my girlfriend, and you can have all these little things anytime. Occasionally, I can even buy you new clothes," said Xu Haiyang.

Xu Haiyang was lazy and never liked to work; he didn’t have much money, either.

He was afraid Shen Mianmian would ask for new clothes on the spot, so he didn’t dare to promise too much.

Shen Mianmian didn’t respond to his words but asked, "Did you give this handkerchief to someone else before?"

Xu Haiyang’s gaze flickered; the girl was quite smart.

She was trying to trick him into revealing the truth.

"No, how could I possibly give away a handkerchief to just anyone?"

Shen Mianmian had known he wouldn’t tell the truth, so with a purse of her lips, she turned to leave. Xu Haiyang quickly stepped in front of her to block her way.

"Mianmian, as long as you take the handkerchief, I’ll let you go."

"I don’t want it," Shen Mianmian retorted. She wasn’t foolish. If she accepted Xu Haiyang’s handkerchief, she would be even more entangled with him in the future, and who knows how he might manipulate the situation.

"If you don’t take it, I won’t let you go."

After saying that, he tried to forcefully stuff the handkerchief into Shen Mianmian’s pocket.

Shen Mianmian instinctively struggled.

"Let her go."

Lu Siyuan had seen everything from afar as he rode his bicycle and shouted loudly even before he arrived.

Xu Haiyang was startled by the abrupt shout.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Siyuan, nearly smoking the bicycle with his furious pedaling.

Grinding his teeth, he cursed, "Damn it, not this son of a bitch again."
