Chapter 45: The Closed Girl's Heart (Please collect and read)

Hotel restaurant.

Many people had already arrived at this moment. Ye Ning glanced around and saw that the trio of Jinbi, Zhu Yu, and Zhou Buhui were already there, so he went straight over.

He sat down next to the gold coin and said, "You guys came early."

"Not that early, just a few minutes earlier than you.

By the way, we were just talking about this, and we don’t know what the reward will be for the evaluation given this time. It is said that this content will be discussed in the meeting after dinner. "

"As for the reward, there should be a lot of credits." Ye Ningke became excited when he said this, after all, he was S-level.

"There must be quite a few credits, but I heard there are other tangible rewards."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Zhou Buhui suddenly stood up and waved towards the door: "Lin Xiaoxiao, here, here~"

This shout made all the students in the restaurant stop chatting and look towards the door.

After all, the three words "Lin Xiaoxiao" are quite famous.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just entered the restaurant, was a little confused because she was suddenly called out. Suddenly, she met the gazes of a large group of people, and for a moment she felt her heart being pinched.

How could there be such a person? They have only known each other for a short while.

To be precise, we don’t even know each other. I don’t think I have even spoken a few words to her!

The only person she was relatively familiar with in that group of people was actually Ye Ning. Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Ye Ning who also turned his head to look at her, and their eyes met at this moment.

When Ye Ning saw that Lin Xiaoxiao also saw him, he didn’t think much about it. He grinned and waved his hand in the same way.

Seeing Ye Ning waving at her, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly withdrew her gaze and looked forward.

The little hands under the school uniform squeezed tightly.

Damn it!

Bad man's smile!

For some reason, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that since she met Ye Ning, her originally dormant emotions began to fluctuate rarely.

Zhou Buhui, the beautiful woman, was still waving at her. Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the restaurant. There were basically no individual tables left at the moment. Moreover, with the number of people in their school, there were not enough seats in the restaurant. Some tables might even need more chairs.

It's always better to sit with someone you know a little bit better than sitting among a bunch of strangers.

Even if he is a bad man.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao walked towards the table where Ye Ning and the others were.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao coming over, Zhou Buhui patted the empty seat next to him and motioned for Lin Xiaoxiao to sit over.

And this empty space is right between Ye Ning and Zhou Buhui.

After hesitating for 2 seconds, Lin Xiaoxiao finally sat down.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you so late? We have already arrived a long time ago."

Hey, hey, hey, that's not what you just said!
Ye Ning looked at Zhou Buhui speechlessly.

He could tell that this girl didn't say a word of truth. She was definitely doing it on purpose. She just wanted to tease Lin Xiaoxiao because she saw that she always had a cold face.

It was just a pure entertainment. But Ye Ning didn't interrupt, because he also liked watching this plot.

After all, he was still a little upset about Lin Xiaoxiao running away so early in the morning.

Perhaps he couldn't handle Zhou Buhui's enthusiasm, Ye Ning clearly felt that Lin Xiaoxiao was moving towards him.

With a turn of his eyes, Ye Ning suddenly smiled and said, "Our classmate Lin Xiaoxiao is a cultivation fanatic. She must have been cultivating so much that she didn't even pay attention to the information on the bracelet. She's not like the rest of us who like to slack off a bit."

Lin Xiaoxiao had no reaction to Ye Ning's words, but Zhou Buhui's eyes lit up at this moment.

My goodness, Brother Ye Ning, you are not a good person either!
"It seems so. I heard that Xiaoxiao had already entered the intermediate apprentice level on the day she enrolled. She's really amazing. I can't do that. I just made a breakthrough two days ago."

"Yes, I just made the breakthrough two days ago. I can only say that we are too lazy."

. . .

Zhou Buhui and Ye Ning talked back and forth, and their cooperation was almost seamless.

Lin Xiaoxiao hardly said a word during the conversation, but for some reason, she felt like there was a fire under her seat and she really wanted to stand up.

However, her expression remained unchanged, and she seemed unaffected on the surface.

But apart from the three of them, the other people at this table were a little confused.

The little fat on Jinbi's face was jumping up and down. He could actually see that Ye Ning and Zhou Buhui seemed to have some purpose, but he didn't know whether their words hurt Lin Xiaoxiao.

He only knew that every word they said sounded like a knife piercing his heart.

"What I'm saying is, can you guys who have already reached the intermediate level just hold back? We're all still beginners!"

"That's right, that's right! Buhui, we are still beginners too!" Han Meimei and Li Qingqing pouted and looked at Zhou Buhui and Ye Ning with hurt expressions.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Ye Ning and Zhou Buhui realized that they seemed to have said something a little too much, and they both quickly apologized.

However, in private, Ye Ning and Zhou Buhui exchanged glances and decided to find an opportunity to continue later!
Wow, this girl is so understanding!

If Zhou Buhui had a system called "Love Simulator" at this moment, she would definitely receive a prompt "Congratulations to the host, you have gained Ye Ning's favorability +15."

In fact, Ye Ning and Zhou Buhui's teasing of Lin Xiaoxiao was certainly not just a joke, nor was it purely out of sarcasm.

But from the beginning of school until now, as he got to know her, Ye Ning discovered that Lin Xiaoxiao's personality was too split. She had no expression on her face and looked very cold, but in fact, after getting to know her for a long time, he found that she was not like that in some aspects.

She seemed to be actively closing her heart. Every time Ye Ning approached her, he could feel that she seemed to be carrying a mountain on her back.

That feeling was very strange, and that was why he would cooperate with Zhou Buhui.

Perhaps Zhou Buhui also sensed the contradiction in Lin Xiaoxiao.

Ye Ning didn't want Lin Xiaoxiao to speak out what was in her heart. That was unrealistic as their relationship was far from that level.

But he felt that suppressing himself like this for a long time would cause problems. Because he was an orphan in his previous life, he often did volunteer work after graduation and met some patients with depression. Many of them were like this in the early stages.

He and Lin Xiaoxiao were classmates and neighbors, which was a kind of fate, so he wanted to see if he could help her a little.

He couldn't get involved in specific matters since they weren't that familiar with each other, but it might be better if he could give her some guidance and let her vent her emotions.

Whether it's anger or sadness, or even getting up and scolding him, it's much better than suppressing it.

But now it seems that the burden she carries is very heavy, and this level is not enough at the moment.
