I'll take her back.
They all had second period classes in the morning, so just before class, they packed up and left the library together.
After walking out of the door, He Mingyu turned around and saw that the girl behind him was following Chen Luobai side by side, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
He paused: "Zhou Anran."
Zhou Anran also stopped: "What's wrong?"
He Mingyu looked at her while holding a few books: "See you in the cafeteria at noon."
Zhou Anran: “…”
She almost forgot about it.
Feeling a pair of eyes staring at him, Zhou Anran's guilty feeling that had been lingering in his mind all morning suddenly reached its peak at this moment.
She faced the gaze and nodded reluctantly.
Chen Luobai's voice immediately sounded in her ears, his tone was very calm: "Did you two make an appointment to have lunch together at noon?"
He Mingyu looked at him: "She helped me a little, please treat her to a meal."
"I just explained a few questions." Zhou Anran added in a low voice, "It can't be considered as helping."
Chen Luobai looked from the girl with her head bowed beside him to He Mingyu, and smiled: "You don't mind having more people, right? I happen to be eating alone at noon. But since she said it's not considered helping, you don't have to treat us. I'll treat you two. It happens that since the beginning of the school year, the three of us haven't gotten together alone."
He Mingyu didn't avoid looking at her: "She said it wasn't really a favor, so she didn't need my treat. Then why are you suddenly treating us?"
"We are all classmates, what other reason do we need to invite you?" Chen Luobai paused, his eyes fell back on the girl next to him, and saw that her fair earlobe was stained with a little red, "Is that so, Zhou Anran?"
Zhou Anran: “… ?”
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that he seemed to have emphasized the words "we are all classmates" a little bit.
Did he not want her to have dinner alone with He Mingyu, so he used her words to stop her
Zhou Anran didn't know if she was being overly sentimental again, and didn't dare to respond to him.
But whether it was true or not, she really wanted to have dinner with him.
But in this case, it would be inappropriate to ask He Mingyu to treat her again. In fact, she also felt that there was really no need for He Mingyu to treat her.
Zhou Anran thought for a moment and raised his head: "How about I treat you two?"
He Mingyu tightened his grip on the book.
"It's my treat." He paused, then looked at Chen Luobai, "If you're willing, come along."
Chen Luobai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay, thanks in advance."
He Mingyu: “…”
Yu Xinyue, who was standing aside, looked at her watch and said, "Of course, are you done chatting? We have to go to the classroom."
Zhou Anran: "It's almost time, wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at the tall boy next to her, her gaze slowly moving down from his handsome face to his long, beautiful hands.
He still had her pen and notebook in his hands.
"You—" Zhou Anran said one word and stopped.
Chen Luobai looked at her leisurely, with a smile in his dark eyes, as if he was asking knowingly: "Me what?"
Zhou Anran: “…”
He Mingyu and Yu Xinyue were still there, and she was too embarrassed to ask him in front of them why he had kept her things.
