Rebirth begins with an arranged marriage

Chapter 58 I'm Not Dating You

"Come and eat."

When Tang Huaiyi returned to the classroom, Li Xiujuan placed the food she had prepared in front of him.

Tang Huaiyi frowned slightly when he saw the two steamed buns and the two dishes that were barely touched: "Where's your food?"

"I've finished eating," Li Xiujuan said softly.

Tang Huaiyi couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead hard through her hair: "Who told you to eat my cornbread? Who told you to leave the steamed buns and vegetables for me?"

Li Xiujuan winced slightly in pain and instinctively covered her head to hide, whispering, "I'm eating much better than before, you should eat quickly..."

"I can't eat that much either, come and eat with me."

As Tang Huaiyi spoke, he handed her a steamed bun.

Li Xiujuan shook her head repeatedly and stepped back.

"Be good, have one."

"I'm really full, you can eat..."

"What about the vegetables? Why aren't you eating them?"

"There's still some pickled vegetable left..."

Tang Huaiyi reached out to flick her forehead again: "If you don't behave—"

"What are you doing?" A hand reached out and grabbed Tang Huaiyi's hand. Guan Xiaolin said with a smile, "Oh, Tang Huaiyi, I thought you were a good classmate, but it turns out you're bullying a female classmate during lunch break?"

"You've truly impressed me!"

Tang Huaiyi was a little surprised: "Squad Leader Guan, you didn't go home for lunch today?"

"No, I'm taking this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with He Genbao, to tell him to stop always tattling. We're all classmates, there's no need to be so tense." Guan Xiaolin smiled as she released Tang Huaiyi's wrist, raising her delicate white chin, her ponytail swaying. "Tell me, what happened? How did you bully Li Xiujuan?"

"No, I didn't bully you!" Li Xiujuan said immediately.

Tang Huaiyi laughed and said, "Li Xiujuan is being a bit outrageous, stealing my cornbread. Shouldn't I give them both a 'smack' on the head?"

When Guan Xiaolin saw him laughing and joking, and then saw the two white steamed buns in front of her, she gradually understood.

Li Xiujuan ate cornbread and saved the white flour steamed buns for Tang Huaiyi.

These two eat together and often go in and out of the classroom together... Their relationship is a bit too good.

Guan Xiaolin had suspected that the two might be dating, and now, looking back, she thinks it's true.

Guan Xiaolin felt it was best not to say much about this.

In other matters, her thoughts are not much different from those of adults: getting along well with classmates, studying hard, and so on.

The only thing Guan Xiaolin did when it came to her classmates talking about relationships was that, as someone of the same age, she instinctively recognized that her classmates had the right to pursue their own relationships. She didn't react with the same apprehension and fear as her teachers and adults. At most, she was curious and wanted to see more.

With a chuckle, Guan Xiaolin glanced at Tang Huaiyi and Li Xiujuan, and said, "You two go ahead and eat. I'll go do my own thing."

As Guan Xiaolin approached He Genbao's seat, she smiled and said, "Hello, He Genbao."

He Genbao was startled and jumped up with a "whoosh".

"Class monitor? Did you need something?"

"Yes, something's up. Let's talk outside," Guan Xiaolin gestured.

He Genbao froze, his face flushing bright red: "I...I...I need to study hard!"

Guan Xiaolin was somewhat taken aback: "Yes, I know, you want to study hard."

I just want to say a few words to you.

"I...I can't date you! I have to focus on my studies!" He Genbao said.

Guan Xiaolin was completely stunned, speechless.

"What?"

Tang Huaiyi, Li Xiujuan, Song Siyuan, and other senior high school students who were still in the classroom also looked over in surprise upon hearing the sound.

"What the hell?" Song Siyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "How could our class monitor fall for this despicable bastard?"

Everyone watched with curiosity.

Guan Xiaolin's face turned completely red, burning hot.

She never imagined that her life's connection to romance would be misunderstood by a male classmate like this, and that she would be rejected in public—she had never thought about dating, so what nonsense was He Genbao spouting?

Forcing herself to calm down, Guan Xiaolin immediately raised her voice: "He Genbao, what nonsense are you talking about? Nobody wants to date you. What I want to talk about is how you've complained to our homeroom teacher, Ms. Tian, ​​several times!"

"As classmates, you have reported Tang Huaiyi, Song Siyuan, Ma Laixi and other classmates for a small matter after lights out. I think this is not conducive to unity among classmates. I hope you can change your mind and communicate with your classmates properly."

Originally, I was prepared to talk to He Genbao in a nice and respectful manner, without hurting his self-esteem, but I didn't expect to be "accidentally hurt" in public first.

At this point, Guan Xiaolin couldn't be polite anymore, so she could only make her purpose clear and tell her classmates in the group that she had no selfish motives and no intention of dating.

Upon hearing Guan Xiaolin's words, Tang Huaiyi knew what to do.

He stood up and said, "He Genbao, I asked the class monitor to talk to you about this. You complained to the homeroom teacher about me again today, so I spoke to the class monitor and asked her to persuade you to stop complaining about your classmates."

"What are you thinking about?"

Tang Huaiyi didn't want to clash with someone as petty and sensitive as He Genbao, but helping Guan Xiaolin clarify the facts was obviously more important right now, so he couldn't worry about that.

Song Siyuan suddenly laughed, "So that's what happened! Class monitor, I really have to thank you for speaking up for us who were snitched on!"

"Last week, He Genbao also snitched on me, and Teacher Tian gave me a good scolding!"

He then mocked He Genbao: "He Genbao, if a female classmate talks to you, does that mean she wants to date you? The class monitor is just trying to be kind and not embarrass you. You're really good at daydreaming!"

As Guan Xiaolin, Tang Huaiyi, and Song Siyuan spoke, the other students understood and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This is a misunderstanding—your class monitor, Guan Xiaolin, with her looks and qualities, would actively seek to date you? And you still have to study, yet you rejected her?

How much does He Genbao value himself?

Amidst the laughter, He Genbao's face flushed red and then turned pale, then red again. He stared intently at Guan Xiaolin, Tang Huaiyi, and Song Siyuan without saying a word, and walked out of the classroom.

Guan Xiaolin couldn't bear to look at him and subconsciously called out, "He Genbao, wait a moment."

He Genbao turned around, gave him a cold look, and walked away without stopping.

"Oh, this..."

Guan Xiaolin had no choice but to chase after him—if she did, wouldn't it really become a romantic relationship?

She turned to look at Tang Huaiyi, "I meant well but things went wrong?"

Tang Huaiyi could only shake his head: "Squad Leader Guan, you're not wrong. He's just being arrogant and overreacting again."

"You've already done more than enough. Given the situation just now, you can't really make yourself a laughingstock just to maintain his pride, can you?"

Guan Xiaolin nodded, and after a moment of slight frustration, she finally cheered up.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a misunderstanding, it shouldn't affect him for too long..."
