Lin Yi was still the same as before, but Jian Ai was no longer as passionate as before.

“What is it?”

Jian Ai was the first to speak. Not much fluctuation was in her tone, as if the love letter incident didn’t affect her at all.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, making him look like a young adult. He sized Jian Ai up before saying, “I saw it just now. Li Yunmei is looking for trouble with you again, right?”

Sighing softly, Lin Yi continued, “I didn’t think that there would be so much trouble in the beginning. I also know that you were pushed into the pond, and it’s all my fault. Hence, you are being bullied like this.”

“If you know it’s all because of you, then why don’t you stay away from me? So that we won’t be seen by petty people, lest they cause me more trouble.” Jian Ai’s tone was indifferent. Lin Yi couldn’t tell if Jian Ai was angry.

However, Jian Ai’s reaction surprised Lin Yi. She had never dared to look him in the eye before, much less speak loudly to him. Every time they met in school, she would sneak a few glances at him before quickly leaving his sight.

Her tone and attitude just now made her seem like a completely different person. Lin Yi felt a bit surprised and unfamiliar.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Yi nodded lightly and said, “I know. I just wanted to apologize. If not for me making a bet with Yan Tian and the rest to tease you, you wouldn’t have been pushed into the pond.”

“So, did you win the bet?”

Jian Ai suddenly asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was stunned, and it took him a while to react, but he still nodded dumbly. “Yes…”

Jian Ai suddenly felt that it was funny. She thought of her crush on Lin Yi. Comparing it to this scene, it was pretty funny.

Jian Ai pursed her lips indifferently and said, “How about this? I’ll give you a chance to apologize. You won the bet, so I’ll have to take half of the credit. Revenge was taken against me by your admirers because of this. This is hard work. Taking into account all the credit, you have to treat me to lunch in the cafeteria for a month.” 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“Huh?” Lin Yi didn’t seem to follow Jian Ai’s train of thought. He looked confused.

Didn’t she tell him to stay away from her just a second ago to avoid causing trouble for her?

“Didn’t you tell me to stay away from you…” Lin Yi asked with a frown.

Jian Ai blinked. “I’m going back on my word. I jumped into the pond for nothing. I got tricked and even got sick! Besides, aren’t you here to apologize? Are you going to apologize verbally? You have to do something so that I can see your sincerity!”

Lin Yi didn’t know why Jian Ai would suddenly make such a request, but he felt that her words made sense. He was a boy, after all, so he had to be responsible. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Lin Yi nodded and said, “Alright, it’s just a month’s lunch. You can have whatever you want. It’s on me!”

Only then did Jian Ai look at Lin Yi with satisfaction. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave. Class is starting soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Ai turned around and walked into the classroom with her back facing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi stood in the corridor and stared blankly at the door of Class Three for a long time before slowly letting out a sigh of relief and leaving.

In fact, Lin Yi felt guilty ever since he found out that Lin Yunmei pushed her into the pond. It was fine if nothing happened to Jian Ai, but he would be the one to blame if something did happen.

Now that Jian Ai had asked for compensation, it meant that she was willing to forgive him, and Lin Yi felt relieved.
