After the Soft Sister Differentiated Into A

but she had no choice but to take a deep breath and calm down, “Don’t try to change the subject! If you’re not interested in Senior Lu, why did you accept his flowers?” 

Yao Jin’s smile disappeared as she blinked her eyes upwards and said innocently, “Why can’t I accept them? If I accept that bouquet, then everyone is happy.
Senior Lu will be happy, I’ll be happy, but it doesn’t have to mean anything on my end.
It’s 2020, not the 20th century.
Classmate Jin can’t be such an old-fashioned minded person, right?” 

“I….The fact of the matter is, you can do what you wish with anyone else but if you are not interested in Senior Lu, it’s best for you to contact him less from now on.” 

Jin Siming threw caution to the wind and directly stated her intentions.
Anyhow, this is not the first time they’ve shed all pretense between each other. 

“Ah?” Yao Jin’s eyes slightly widened and she approached with a curious expression, “Why? Could it be you like-” 

“No, definitely no! Don’t say such nonsense, I don’t like him at all!” Jin Siming quickly interrupted her. 

Yao Jin studied her flustered expression and rubbed her chin thoughtfully, “I see, I understand now.” 

“What do you understand exactly?” Jin Siming panicked internally. 

“I understand why you dragged me out here and…” Yao Jin slowly stood on her tiptoes and then stretched out a few fingers to tap on Jin Siming’s chest, “You have a little secret right here~” 

Her little secret? What little secret? Did Yao Jin notice something? 

Jin Siming quickly crossed her arms over her chest and took a big step backwards to widen the distance between them, “I don’t have any secrets! As for you, did you even hear a word I said?” 

“Hmph.” Yao Jin responded with a cold snort and gave her a half-smile before turning around and walking away. 

“Hey! Hey! You still haven’t answered my question!” Jin Siming shouted at her retreating back. 

Yao Jin turned back around, “Jin Siming, what is our current relationship right now?” 

“Huh?” Jin Siming was startled by her question, “What kind of relationship can there be between us other than one where both parties view the other as unpleasant in their eyes?” 

“If that’s the case, why do I have to listen to you? Isn’t hurting each other the correct way for us to get along?” 

Ah, I still have a bunch of gifts to unwrap, so I’ll be leaving first~” 

Yao Jin waved at her with a smile on her face and then turned around and left. 

“….” 

Jin Siming wanted to furiously slap herself as she watched that smug back leave. 

She was too impulsive just now, wasn’t what she did like a sort of self-destruction? 

She shouldn’t have confronted Yao Jin so quickly, after all why would the other party obediently listen to her words? Rather, she has overreached and simply ended up with an egg on her face. 

And Yao Jin said she knew her secret just now.
Could it be that she thinks that she likes Senior Lu? Although she felt uncomfortable with Senior Lu confessing his love to Yao Jin, she understood herself well enough to say that her feelings were currently at the “favorable” stage and nowhere near the stage of “like”.
However, she wasn’t going to just sit idly by and let Senior Lu misplace his feelings onto this fox-like woman! 

If Yao Jin really wants to confront her on it, then she….

…can’t do anything about it! She can only take this one step at a time. 

Jin Siming pulled her hair in irritation and slowly returned to the classroom after Yao Jin’s figure completely disappeared from her sight. 

“Jin-Jin! You’re back! Hurry up and clean up your table, it almost can’t hold anymore!” 

Yao Jin’s deskmate quickly urged and pointed at the mountain of gifts spread out on her desk. 

Yao Jin quickly said a word of apologies and then hurriedly sat down to sort out the colorful boxes into tinier hills. 

As she cleaned up her desk, she recalled the look of exasperation on Jin Siming’s face just now and the corners of her lips couldn’t help rising. 

Who knows what she was thinking as a hint of interest flashed in her beautiful eyes. 

“I never expected you to have such a taste.
So, why don’t we have some fun~”
