Chapter 9

"No." Jiang Moxi pushed her black-framed glasses, rejecting him like an emotionless machine.
"I really like you, it's not a prank. I want a definite answer."
When Lin Xian saw Jiang Moxi's heavenly appearance that day, he now glimpsed the real her as she deliberately portrayed herself as unattractive, yet his heart continued to beat for her.
His gaze involuntarily softened and became tender.
"Definitely not."
Lin Xian had never failed in pursuing a girl, especially not in front of so many people, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.
He hurriedly handed a movie ticket to Jiang Moxi. "Then how about watching a movie with me?"
But Jiang Moxi remained straightforward and attempted to return the ticket to Lin Xian. "I won't go."
"In front of everyone, just give me some respect, okay?" Lin Xian refused to take the ticket back and said, "Anyway, I'll prove to you through actions that my feelings are real. And tonight, I'm not leaving until we see each other again."
Lin Xian waved, stylishly propped open the car door with one hand, got into the Ferrari sports car, and, under the envious gaze of the crowd, sped away.
The crowd dispersed after Lin Xian left, and soon Jiang Weiwei appeared among them.
Carrying her backpack and wearing the signature white shirt and pleated skirt of Top One University, her fair and straight legs made her stand out in the crowd.
Her friend Nie Yuruo spotted her in the crowd and rushed over: "Weiwei, did you see that Lin Xian confessed to the ugly duckling just now?"
"I saw it."
"It's so strange. How could Lin Xian suddenly like the ugly duckling? Does she have some hidden charm that we don't know about, like being exceptionally beautiful without makeup?"
"Who knows?"
Jiang Weiwei smiled casually and nonchalantly.
Because she didn't think Jiang Moxi could be that beautiful.
Besides, she knew that Lin Xian's moonlight was always her, Jiang Weiwei.
Perhaps, it was because she was going to be engaged to Fu Yiming that he confessed to Jiang Moxi to provoke her...

"Moxi, I heard that Lin Xian confessed to you just now? Is it true?"
As soon as Jiang Moxi entered the classroom, her classmates whispered one after another, and Mu Wanting also approached her at this time.
Mu Wanting was an outgoing person. When she saw Jiang Moxi, who was always by herself after starting school last year, she took the initiative to befriend her.
Later, they became friends.
"Yeah." Jiang Moxi saw a pack of cookies in Mu Wanting's bag and instinctively opened it to eat.
"Is this his new prank?" Mu Wanting asked again.
"Probably."
Mu Wanting frowned as she saw Jiang Moxi eating the cookies.
"Isn't it bad to just eat cookies every day? You should have some vegetables and fruits too."
"Are vegetables and fruits delicious? Cookies are the best."
Just as they were talking, a freshly prepared breakfast from a five-star hotel suddenly appeared in front of them.
They looked up and saw Lin Xian's sidekick, who was often seen with him.
"This is a breakfast personally packed by Brother Xian for you, with both Chinese and Western options."
Before Jiang Moxi could refuse, the sidekick placed the breakfast and ran off.
"Could it be that Lin Xian is serious?" Mu Wanting looked puzzled.
"Who knows..." Jiang Moxi continued eating the buns that Mu Wanting had brought.
In the end, all the breakfast ended up being taken by scavengers near the school.

At night, Yu Dingding approached Jiang Moxi again for a SereniFlex Pill.
Moreover, this time, she seemed more urgent and called directly.
"Do you need it in the next two days? But isn't the previous pill still effective?"
Jiang Moxi was worried that Yu Dingding might be using too much medication, which could be harmful to her body, so she inquired about it.
But Yu Dingding said, "I accidentally dropped the last one while soaking in the hot spring."
"Alright then, I still have two pills left. Let's meet at the usual place."
Just as Jiang Moxi ended the call, Jiang Weixian pushed the door open and entered.
"Mimi? Are you here?"
She was wearing a pink nightgown, and her long hair fell casually on her shoulders, making her look extremely adorable.
Seeing Jiang Moxi looking at her as if she had encountered an intruder, Jiang Weiwei didn't get angry and asked with a smile, "Moxi, have you seen the cat?"
"It's impossible for it to be in my room!" Jiang Moxi replied.
In the same space, she could only keep either herself or the cat.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll look in other rooms."
Jiang Weiwei left the room with a smile.
Jiang Moxi squinted her eyes, picked up her phone, and deleted the recent call log.

On the same night, Lin Xian, dressed in a white suit, his black hair neatly groomed, held a bouquet of 99 red roses in his hands.
He was waiting for Jiang Moxi to appear, feeling confident that after pursuing her all day and then booking a private screening in the cinema tonight, he would definitely win Jiang Moxi's heart...
