My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 172: Men Shouldn’t Always Say No

"Uh?" The little girl hastily withdrew her hand, saying, "It’s nothing, just bumped it by accident."

"Bumping into something could cause such a big injury?" Xu Jiayan eyed her wound suspiciously.

Jiang Yuan smiled naturally, and said, "Yes! I accidentally hit the wall!"

Xu Jinyan couldn’t help but snort. This girl could lie through her teeth without a blush or a breath.

If he didn’t know her...

Wait,

An injury on the arm?

Xu Jinyan abruptly looked up in Jiang Yuan’s direction.

The girl got hurt?

Jiang Yuan also looked up and glared back fiercely, mouthing the words: "Keep your mouth shut."

Did this guy forget how she got her injury? Could it be that it’s been too long since he was beaten, and now he’s itching for trouble?

Xu Jiayan’s gaze swept over the two of them, becoming more suspicious, "Spill it. What’s really going on?" Their reactions were off, especially Jinyan’s.

Clearly, they were hiding something from him.

"Really, it’s nothing!" The little girl blinked, trying her best to appear sincere and believable.

Xu Jiayan remained silent, just quietly watching her. In the end, the girl couldn’t withstand his gaze and said weakly, "Actually, there was a tiny, tiny incident today. Someone stole my wallet and threw Brother Yan’s water bottle away."

Xu Jiayan: "So?"

Jiang Yuan: "So Aunt Wan might need to go to school tomorrow, but of course, it’s probably fine even if she doesn’t go."

After all, she wasn’t the one who made the mistake.

Xu Jiayan’s eyes turned frosty, and a displeased look appeared on his face, "I’m asking about your hand."

This girl was clearly deflecting, the more she avoided the subject, the more serious it seemed.

Jiang Yuan: "I really just bumped into something by accident."

"If you don’t want to talk about it, forget it!" Xu Jiayan glanced coldly at her, let go of her hand, and was about to leave.

The next second, Jiang Yuan grabbed the hem of his clothes, looked up at him with a soft voice, "Brother Yan, don’t be mad, I’ll tell you. I just got into a fight after school, but don’t worry, we didn’t lose."

"We?" Xu Jiayan looked at her, then at Xu Jinyan.

Xu Jinyan felt a cold shiver down his spine, still not fully recovered from the shock of Jiang Yuan getting hurt, then realized the spotlight had suddenly turned on him, and quickly said, "Yes!"

Jiang Yuan made a face at him and silently gestured a throat-slitting motion. Blame this guy, if he hadn’t made those weird comments earlier, Brother Yan wouldn’t have been suspicious.

"Good, fighting and trying to hide it. A one thousand-word self-criticism from each of you, I want to see it tomorrow morning," Xu Jiayan stated coldly.

Jiang Yuan and Xu Jinyan felt a darkness before their eyes.

"Brother Yan, I know I was wrong. Look, I even got hurt. How about we forget the written part and I just apologize verbally?" The little girl batted her eyelashes and smiled ingratiatingly.

"No." Xu Jiayan gave her a cool glance, his refusal swift, "You hurt your left hand, it doesn’t hinder you from writing the self-criticism."

Jiang Yuan: "Brother Yan, that’s not right of you, haven’t you read it in the books, men shouldn’t keep saying no. What if you say it too much and it becomes true?"

Xu Jiayan’s face darkened, his gaze turned even colder, his tone chilly, "Oh? What book? Bring it here for me to see!"
