Chapter 287: I Have a Phone
A few famous people in Year One were talking and laughing at the school gate. This became a beautiful scene in the morning. Students who passed by kept turning back to look at them.
However, the four of them were like eggs without gaps. Not to mention joining them, but even if they wanted to approach them, it was impossible.
But now, all the Year One students knew that the four people in the past had now become a six-person group. Jian Ai and Guan Tao, two girls from the South City slums who everyone laughed at in the past, had inexplicably joined them and their bond was getting better.
Everyone did not know what had happened, let alone the details. However, they did not know whether to be envious of Jian Ai and Guan Tao.
Jian Ai and Guan Tao walked to the school gate and saw them smiling. They couldn’t help but look at one another.
The two of them walked over. Yan Tian saw Jian Ai at a glance and immediately bumped Lin Yi with his shoulder. He smiled and said, “Look who’s here?”
Lin Yi looked up and saw Jian Ai. His eyes lit up. “Jian Ai.”
Jian Ai’s expression was the same as usual. She smiled and greeted them. The moment she opened her mouth, they were the same words as what Xia Qinghuan had said. “What are you guys standing here for?”
“We bumped into each other, so we talked for a while,” Xia Qinghuan said. Then, she suddenly thought of something and said to Jian Ai, “Xiao Ai, Lin Yi said that he wanted to talk to you about something. We’ll go in first. You two can talk.”
With that, she gave Yan Tian and Gao Yang a look. They understood and walked towards the school with a laugh. When Xia Qinghuan passed by Jian Ai, she even pulled the confused Guan Tao away.
After they left, only Jian Ai and Lin Yi were left under the tree.
Lin Yi came back to his senses and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He immediately explained, “Qinghuan did it on purpose. Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
Jian Ai understood and nodded lightly. “I know. Let’s go in too.”
The two of them didn’t feel embarrassed. They knew their friends very well. They were creating a chance for the two of them to be alone.
However, for Lin Yi, he knew that he liked Jian Ai, but he was a bit uncertain about Jian Ai’s feelings for him. Therefore, Lin Yi felt that he couldn’t be anxious about confessing. If he were to be rejected, there would be no chance at all.
After all, he had already been rejected once.
Therefore, Lin Yi’s plan now was to pursue Jian Ai first and confess his feelings to her when the time was ripe. That way, he would be more confident.
“Did you go out to play during the holidays? I didn’t go anywhere. I wanted to ask you out to play, but I didn’t have your home phone number. I don’t know where you’re staying too,” Lin Yi walked beside Jian Ai and said casually.
“I wasn’t in Baiyun City. I only came back the day before yesterday,” Jian Ai answered. Then, she took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Lin Yi. “I have my phone. Save your number!”
Lin Yi was stunned. He blinked at the new phone in Jian Ai’s hand and couldn’t help but ask, “Your… your own phone?”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and nodded. She smiled at him. “Don’t worry, it wasn’t stolen.”
“That’s not what I meant,” Lin Yi quickly said.
“I know!” Jian Ai had a calm expression on her face as she handed the phone to Lin Yi. “Save it. It’s easier to contact you in the future.”
Jian Ai didn’t have any distracting thoughts. She just thought of Lin Yi as her friend and planned to save Qinghuan’s number later as well. She had no other goal but to make it easier for her to contact them.
