I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 51 Can you guarantee that you didn't say anything bad about me in front of her?

After school in the evening, the students left the school and prepared to go home.

The exam is tomorrow, and they know they'll have to cram again tonight.

Tang Zhi walked home alone; she was used to walking these kinds of roads at night.

The streets were brightly lit, and there were many people coming and going, so she had nothing to worry about.

"Ok?"

After turning a corner, Tang Zhi frowned in surprise.

Just after I walked over, I think I saw someone out of the corner of my eye.

"Hurry! Follow them!"

Shh! Keep your voice down!

A few seconds later, two people jogged over, turned the corner,

Looking at the road ahead, there was no one there.

"Lost?"

These two were Lu Yunshuo and Tong Yining. They had been following Tang Zhi all the way home from school.

They knew they wouldn't have much chance to get to Tang Zhi at school, and they wouldn't be able to get any information out of her.

So they agreed that after school that evening, the two of them would go with Tang Zhi and ask her to tell them about what happened between her and Yin Mengran.

After seeing Tang Zhi turn the corner, they immediately followed, but they couldn't find her anywhere.

"That's a terrible idea. Why didn't they stop her at the school gate?"

Tong Yining glared at Lu Yunshuo. She hadn't originally planned to come along; it was late at night, and she didn't want to be with Lu Yunshuo.

It wouldn't be good if others saw it and started gossip.

But the thought that he would have to talk to Tang Zhi sooner or later...

If he were to clash with Tang Zhi alone, he would definitely be no match for her.

So she agreed to go with Lu Yunshuo to question Tang Zhi.

At least there's a guy around, so I can't let myself get the short end of the stick.

"Nonsense, there are so many people after school, how can we stop them? Besides, there are Yin Mengran and Zhou Heng there, we won't find any opportunities."

Lu Yunshuo refused to give up and walked into the alley ahead, searching for Tang Zhi's figure.

This street is so long, there's no reason I should lose track of her. Could it be that Tang Zhi suddenly ran away?

They weren't following closely, and were constantly watching Tang Zhi ahead, so they didn't turn around at all. How could they have noticed them?

"I think we should just forget about it and go find her myself tomorrow."

Tong Yining has given up; she feels that coming along was a mistake.

Because she could have avoided confronting Tang Zhi; she could have spoken to Yin Mengran alone and had her explain the situation.

Lu Yunshuo insisted on finding Tang Zhi, determined to get to the bottom of things.

Someone as stubborn as him would probably cause a conflict if he couldn't get a clear answer.

Seeing that Tong Yining was about to leave, Lu Yunshuo immediately tried to stop her, saying, "Don't go! What about the alliance we agreed on? What will I do if you leave?"

"Who said we were going to form an alliance with you... honestly..."

"call out--"

Just as the two were talking, something suddenly flew over their heads and hit a passerby who happened to be passing by!

"Snapped!"

"Ouch! Hiss!"

A man was hit squarely on the head by that thing. It wasn't big, but it felt like being flicked on the forehead, and he grimaced in pain.

Tong Yining and Lu Yunshuo heard the sound and looked in the direction the man was heading. The man, rubbing his head, also happened to see the two of them.

He frowned, glared angrily, and strode towards the two of them.

"Which of you threw this? Littering in the street? What kind of upbringing did you have?"

"No... what did you throw? We didn't throw it."

Lu Yunshuo retreated repeatedly, stretching out his hands, shaking his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Still pretending? There's no one else here but you! You threw it, didn't you? Huh?!"

"What did we throw away? We really didn't throw it!"

Lu Yunshuo almost lost his balance and tripped over a stone on the ground. He felt confused and wondered if this man was sick.

Seeing that things were going badly, Tong Yining prepared to slip away. She said to Lu Yunshuo:

"Um... I'm going home now! My mom's going to be worried!"

After saying that, she turned and left, as if afraid of getting into trouble...

She didn't think Lu Yunshuo was unlucky; on the contrary, she felt that she was the unlucky one. She wished she hadn't come along and had just gone home...

"Hey! Tong Yining! Don't go! Don't leave me alone!"

No matter how much Lu Yunshuo called out, Tong Yining didn't turn around, as if she didn't recognize him at all.

Lu Yunshuo also wanted to run, but he was pulled back by the man as soon as he took a step.

He's suffering in silence now. He clearly didn't do anything wrong. Is this his retribution for stalking his female classmate?

Tong Yining ran more than ten steps before turning back to check on Lu Yunshuo's condition.

As soon as she turned her head, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed her arm!

"what!"

Before she could react, she was grabbed by that hand and pulled into a side alley.

Just as she was about to scream in fright, a lollipop was shoved into her mouth, silencing her.

"..."

Tong Yining stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, who turned out to be Tang Zhi, whom they had lost track of.

The fact that Tang Zhi dragged her here means that Tang Zhi has already discovered that she and Lu Yunshuo were following her.

She was still somewhat shaken, breathing heavily, her chest heaving. Looking at Tang Zhi, who had a calm expression, she felt a little afraid.

Why are you following me? Is there something you need?

Tang Zhi spoke slowly, asking softly.

"I..."

Tong Yining was momentarily speechless, taken aback by the question. She opened her mouth, but her gaze remained fixed.

A moment later, she thought of Yin Mengran. She had come along specifically to find out about Yin Mengran's situation.

Isn't this exactly the situation I wanted? Tang Zhi is right in front of me.

"I just want to ask, what is your relationship with Yin Mengran? Also, why doesn't she hang out with me anymore? Do you know something about it?"

Tong Yining made herself look more imposing, otherwise she felt like she would be controlled by Tang Zhi.

"She and I are just friends. Why are you asking me why she doesn't hang out with you?"

Tang Zhi knew why, but she couldn't tell Tong Yining.

Tong Yining frowned, looking somewhat displeased: "Oh? Can you guarantee you haven't said anything bad about me to her?"

"I never said that."

Tang Zhi answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

She said the harshest thing Tong Yining had ever said, which was to Yin Mengran that she had made a bad choice in her friends. This was after Tong Yining had already scolded her.

She doesn't usually talk about others behind their backs, except in special circumstances.

For example, Lu Yunshuo and his group are liars because they stalked Yin Mengran and lied.

Tong Yining was stunned when she saw that Tang Zhi answered so readily, and there was no sign of lying on her face.

Could it be that I've misunderstood? Or is Tang Zhi lying?

"So...how did you become friends with her?"
