Chapter 13: A Coincidence
Editor: Henyee Translations
Chen Siwen felt a little upset when she heard this.
It was because she could not stand Su Li's hypocritical behavior!
She said disdainfully, "Aiya, don't talk about these things. Xiao Ran's grades are so good. If he gets into a good university and earns money in the future, won't his family's debt be repaid in minutes?"
What was going on? She was getting further and further away!
Although Xiao Ran's father was a gambler, their words were too hurtful.
Didn't they know what it means to not bully the poor!
These words hit Ding Suiwan's heart.
As expected of her good friend!
She also said seriously, "That's right. Xiao Ran's father does owe money, but that doesn't mean that he's worse than us. We're here to study, not to compare family backgrounds."
These words made many girls instantly shut up. Some felt that they had said something wrong, while others were indignant.
After all, in terms of family backgrounds, who could be more powerful than her, Ding Suiwan? The daughter of the mayor. Power had always been ranked before money since ancient times.
No matter how rich a family was, they had to lower their heads in front of power!
Su Li was being praised by everyone.
She felt a little uncomfortable after being splashed with cold water by the two of them. Even her expression changed.
She could only smile awkwardly at the side.
"That's right. Don't spout nonsense. You can't joke about someone else's family."
Look at how magnanimous she was.
"Yes, yes. Su Li is right. If Xiao Ran can be with you, he'll really be blessed in his previous life."
Wang Manman said with a smile.
She was Su Li's best friend. If Xiao Ran really got together with Su Li, they would be a perfect match. It was not a loss for him!
Chen Siwen rolled her eyes at the two of them and reached out to hold Ding Suiwan's arm. "Ignore them. They're crazy. Xiao Ran isn't blind!"
If Xiao Ran wanted to like someone, he would like a well-bred young lady like her best friend!
What Su Li? She was simply a clown!
In just a few sentences, the first group had basically all reached the finish line. The PE teacher announced the results one by one.
Zhou You was also beside Xiao Ran. The two of them were holding their knees and panting.
Seeing a group of girls looking at Xiao Ran, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Look, are those girls all looking at you?"
Xiao Ran was stunned and looked over.
It was true!
Several girls looked at him hesitantly. His intuition told him that they were definitely discussing something about him.
However, he did not mind. They could say whatever they wanted. It had nothing to do with him.
As the first group of boys finished, the boys in the second group started the competition.
Xiao Ran felt a little thirsty. He glanced at Zhou You beside him. "Did you bring water?"
After running, he still needed to replenish some water.
Zhou You was the same as him. He came running with his hands free. Why would he bring water?
He took a deep breath and said, "No. Let's go buy two bottles."
With that, the two of them walked towards the convenience store.
Su Li's gaze had been on Xiao Ran. Seeing him and Zhou You walking towards the convenience store, her first reaction was that they were going to buy water.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
She hurriedly held Wang Manman's hand and followed behind.
"By the way, we're going to start the exam soon. Let's go buy two bottles of water."
The first step to make someone have a good impression of you was to deepen their impression and understanding of you!
As long as she treated him well, he would definitely feel it!
Xiao Ran definitely did not have much money on him. If she bought water for him, he would definitely accept it!
This way, if she asked him questions, he would be embarrassed not to answer!
At the thought of this, Su Li pulled Wang Manman and hurriedly walked towards the small shop.
At this moment, the girls were all standing on the field with nothing to do. Many girls saw it.
They started discussing again.
"Sigh, Su Li went over. Could she have gone to confess to Xiao Ran?"
"It's possible. Maybe the two of them made an appointment. They'll whisper to each other when they're somewhere no one can see."
"She really doesn't show her true colors. I didn't expect Su Li to like Xiao Ran!"
"Don't say that. Xiao Ran does seem to have changed in some way."
"I think he's more handsome and pleasing to the eye."
Don't think that only boys would discuss girls. When girls discussed boys, they were even more truthful!
After all, they were all humans.
Hearing everyone's words, Suiwan felt terrible.
Her watery eyes were filled with gloom and uneasiness. Her exquisite face was slightly sulky, looking extremely aggrieved.
She really wanted to rush up and stop them from spouting nonsense. Xiao Ran belonged to her!
However, she could not say this out loud.
They might even have suspected that Xiao Ran was really as they said.
After all, Xiao Ran really did not have much contact with her in the past three years.
The only time was that night's kiss.
If he really liked Su Li, what would happen to her and the baby?!
The more the innocent girl thought about it, the more nervous she became. Her watery eyes were filled with panic.
Why don't I take a look?
Pretending that she was going to buy water too?
Yes, buy water too!
At the thought of this, she hurriedly grabbed Chen Siwen's hand. "Th-then, I'll treat you to soda. Let's go buy it together."
Chen Siwen was stunned.
Didn't Ding Suiwan never drink soda usually?
Why did she suddenly want to buy soda today?
However, Chen Siwen loved soda the most!
She would be more than happy to have someone treat her.
She decisively held Ding Suiwan's small hand and walked happily towards the small shop behind the teaching building.
Although the small shop was behind the school building, it was actually very close. It would not take more than 10 minutes to go back and forth.
There were still at least 15 minutes before the boys' exam ended.
Hence, they did not have to worry about missing the exam at all.
At this moment, Xiao Ran and the others had already reached the entrance of the shop. Su Li also caught up to them.
Seeing Xiao Ran's face under her bangs, she smiled enthusiastically. "Xiao Ran, what a coincidence that you're here to buy water too."
Xiao Ran was not a fool. She had clearly caught up from behind.
They should be buying water too.
However, he did not mind and nodded with a smile.
"I just finished running. I'm a little thirsty."
Seeing this, Su Li smiled sweetly. "How about this? On account of you helping me with the questions in the morning, I'll treat you to a drink. How about that?"
Zhou You was stunned.
It was really eye-opening!
No wonder his mother kept saying that knowledge could earn money. From the looks of it, it really worked!
He suddenly felt a little envious.
It would really be a happy thing if a girl treated him to a drink every day.
Xiao Ran smiled politely. "No need. Zhou You is treating me."
He wasn't used to letting girls treat him!
His mother had taught him since he was young that he was a boy and could not take advantage of a girl.
Letting a girl treat was also a form of taking advantage, right?
Hearing this, Zhou You, who was beside him, felt terrible.
How dare you say that!
Xiao Ran had just cheated him of eight yuan, and now he was asking him to treat him!
A bottle of mineral water cost one yuan, and he only had two yuan left. He even had to be schemed against by him. Did he have any humanity?!
As they spoke, they saw Ding Suiwan and Chen Siwen rushing over from behind.
As she walked quickly, there was still a layer of sweat on Ding Suiwan's full forehead, as if there was something urgent.
Her beautiful deer-like eyes were filled with panic.
Xiao Ran was stunned.
Why was this girl here too?
Was it such a coincidence?
