Chapter 2414 — Who She Really Is
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao drew a breath and walked into the classroom. To his surprise, however, White Leader was nowhere to be seen! Though the students were all bent over their own study, White Leader truly had not come.
Wei Zhao was not afraid of White Leader finding fault, but it was naturally best not to be late.
Wei Zhao glanced over toward the classroom windows and saw that Wang Xinyan was still sitting in her old seat, with Han Jingyi behind her. On the surface at least, there was nothing unusual — and she was still sitting in the middle of the row, not at the edge. Had she taken the seat beside her, blocking Wei Zhao's place, that would have amounted to a roundabout refusal to let him sit next to her.
But Wang Xinyan had not done so, and Wei Zhao's heart eased. If Wang Xinyan had refused, his cultivation from then on would have become a problem.
So this time Wei Zhao walked quite naturally to Wang Xinyan's side and sat down directly in the seat next to her.
Wang Xinyan looked at her book with her usual expression, seemingly paying no attention at all to Wei Zhao sitting there. But from the faint trembling of her eyelashes, Wei Zhao could tell that she was actually rather nervous.
"Xinyan, thank you for yesterday," Wei Zhao said, for want of anything better to say — though in fact he had already thanked Wang Xinyan for it yesterday.
"It's nothing... we're good friends, aren't we..." Wang Xinyan's voice clearly carried some nervousness. "All right, class is about to start — let's not talk for now..."
"Heh, all right... then let's get to class..." Wei Zhao gave a chuckle. He could see that Wang Xinyan was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, and he was too embarrassed to provoke her further. In the present situation, everyone keeping peace with one another was the best possible outcome.
It was only that Wei Zhao did not know what Wang Xinyan's true worry was — whether it came from the Xiao family, or the Kang family? Or perhaps some other reason entirely?
To say that Wang Xinyan did not like him — Wei Zhao truly found that a little hard to believe. After all, their relationship had gone beyond that of ordinary classmates, far beyond even good friends. Had they been of the same sex, one could have called them "brothers in all but blood"; as man and woman... it had already surpassed friendship.
Yet what happened next left Wei Zhao feeling even more baffled! Had Wang Xinyan done it with forethought, or was it coincidence?
For at that moment, White Leader walked into the classroom, and the person who walked in behind him was none other than Kang Jinglong of the Kang family!
