Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 20: I Have Someone I Like

Yu Yuanxi was stunned. Then, he displayed a smile. “There’s no need, actually.”

Shen Xi replied, “Throw it away if you don’t want it.”

After that, she turned around and left.

“Lil Xixi, wait for me,” Pei Xu cried and went after her.

Yu Yuanxi eyed the girl’s back and the food on his table. His lips curved into a smile.

She was the first person in school to speak to him and eat with him, despite what others said.

The students in the international class were in a state of shock.

Alpha Xu pursued Shen Xi and wanted her to be his girlfriend.

Nevertheless, Shen Xi ignored his advances. Although Alpha Xu tried to date her, she was not interested.

“Lil Xixi, be my girlfriend, please. I promise that you’re the only one I love and I’ll treat you well.” Pei Xu cupped his chin and regarded her.

Why was Lil Xixi so beautiful? She was a real goddess.

Lil Xixi was so charming when she did her schoolwork diligently.

Lil Xixi was so heartless when she ignored him, and he liked it!

“No,” Shen Xi declined harshly.

“Why not?” Pei Xu whined.

“I have someone I like.” Shen Xi busied herself with her schoolwork.

“Who do you like?” Pei Xu refused to believe her.

“I won’t tell you.” Shen Xi pulled her exercise book, which was being pinned down by his arms. “I’m not interested in you.”

“You won’t tell me, because it’s an excuse to reject me. Don’t worry, I won’t give up on you.” Pei Xu rubbed his chin vainly.

He was proud of his appearance. No one else in China was better-looking than him!

Still, why was Lil Xixi disinterested in him?

Lil Xixi must feel that everything was happening too quickly for her. He must take his time and capture her heart slowly!

…

Shen Xi never knew that guys could be so clingy. Pei Xu irritated her to the point that she turned to him and warned, “Stop following me!”

Pei Xu said, “But, Lil Xixi, I’m worried when you go home alone. You’re so cute. What if you bump into a human trafficker?”

With a smirk, Shen Xi made a cutthroat gesture and stared at him threateningly.

“You’re so violent, Lil Xixi.” Pei Xu shuddered and chuckled. “How could I let you do these sorts of things? Let me handle it!”

Lil Xixi looked so sweet and adorable when she was fierce. He loved her to bits!

“Get lost!” Shen Xi spat.

Being the dramatic actor he was, Pei Xu pressed a palm to his chest and displayed a hurt expression. “In that case, be careful on your way home, Lil Xixi.”

Shen Xi ignored him and read as she waited at the bus stop.

Pei Xu stuck by her side like a little puppy.

Shen Xi groaned. “Why aren’t you leaving?”

Pei Xu answered, “I’ll leave after you board the bus.”

Shen Xi furrowed her brows. “No need.”

Pei Xu handed his phone to her. “Lil Xixi, add me on WeChat[1]. Text me when you’re back home.”

Shen Xi muttered, “No.”

Pei Xu looked like he was about to cry. “Why are you so heartless, Lil Xixi? We’re deskmates who depend upon each other!”

Shen Xi snorted dismissively. The bus arrived. She boarded it and swiped her card.

Pei Xu ran after the bus and waved at her as if they would never see one another again.

Lin Ge refused to admit that the idiotic guy who was chasing after the bus was their boss. When Pei Xu stopped running, Lin Ge asked him, “Alpha Xu, are you genuinely interested in that girl?”

Pei Xu observed the bus that had just left with fascination and kicked Lin Ge in the butt. “That’s none of your business!”

“But haven’t you been pursuing Su Ruowan?” Lin Ge whined softly.

Pei Xu asked, “Who’s Su Ruowan’s least favorite person?”

Lin Ge replied, “Shen Xi, of course. Goddess Wanwan will participate in the national dance competition soon, and Shen Xi broke her leg. If I were Goddess Wanwan, I would kill her!”

“Do you mean to say that once I successfully date Shen Xi and make her fall irrevocably in love with me, then dump her and make her live a life worse than death, Wanwan will be overjoyed?” Pei Xu’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

Shen Xi was a special girl who managed to pique his interest!
