Randomly invading her thoughts

After spending a lot of time with his friends, paired with his little knowledge about women, Ji Xiehan knew that the best approach was trying to get closer to her one step at a time.

He still had an ultimate move up his sleeves and it was sure to make Li Lanni stay by his side forever. However, it could also possibly make her hate him to the bones.

It was still safer to use the slow approach- though his friend had scolded him for wasting his breath in trying to teach him how to pick up girls. The two of them had scolded him for one hour straight before they cooled up.

…

The next morning, Li Lanni woke up slightly earlier and hence went school earlier.

Because she wanted to buy something in the store near the school, she asked the chauffeur to drop her off some distance away and she would walk to school after getting what she wanted.

It was alright as long as she didn't try to go anywhere that would be dangerous on her own so he let her.

Once Li Lanni had got all the things she wanted, she strolled into the school with a happy smile plastered across her face.

But the happy smile froze and turned into a scowl once her gaze met that of one human being she didn't want to see.

She retracted her gaze and walked off, ignoring him.

She had just taken a step past him when she felt a grip on her elbow and her body was pulled back by a sudden force.

Li Lanni tilted her head and glared at him, trying to pull her arm back. "What do you want?"

Ji Xiehan had expected this kind of reaction from her, but he still felt heartbroken. "I have some matters to discuss with you, regarding Star Art International."

Li Lanni was about to chew him out and walk off but when she heard the name of that company, she hesitated.

This was related to the upcoming art competitions, right? After all, the prize for the winner was to become a trainee in that company.

What made it attract her attention was the fact that Cheng Yu really wanted to win that prize and go to Star Art International.

If there was something wrong with that company… it would be better if she knew and warned Cheng Yu about it.

"I'm going to the library right now." She said. She still had to study a lot.

"That's alright. We can meet after school and have dinner together. We can talk about it then."

This time, Li Lanni didn't reject him and silently agreed.

Watching her walk off, Ji Xiehan had to praise himself for his wits. He had had Qiao Luna update him about everything that was related to Li Lanni so naturally he knew about that contest.

He merely took a gamble and mentioned the first place prize, luckily he had won the gamble.

What Ji Xiehan didn't know was that Li Lanni had another reason to accept his invitation. She wanted to find out what had happened to Ji Feifei as well as test him in case he had evil reasons for trying to get close to her.

…

The day went by quite fast. At lunch time, Li Lanni went to the abandoned school building. She had grown fond of going to that particular classroom whenever she wanted to be alone.

Despite being an abandoned building, it was kept clean in case students wanted to use it. More accurately, it had only earned its name because it used to be the Literature teaching block and was no longer in use since another one was built.

Just as Li Lanni expected, Cheng Yu came in after a while.

The former was currently reclined in a chair as she fanned her neck using her hands. How she wished she could simply rip her shirt off! It was just impossible for her to do so because she couldn't guarantee that no one would come in.

Cheng Yu walked over with a box of ice cream and held it out with slight nervousness, as though afraid Li Lanni wouldn't like it.

Li Lanni took it gladly. "Is this for me? Thank you."

Before Cheng Yu could say a word, she had already started taking scoops of the ice cream, the chilling effect on her tongue making her feel much better.

"Damn summer." Li Lanni complained and scooped more of the ice cream.

Cheng Yu slumped on a chair next to her. "You can say that again! Thanks to the heat, I take almost 20 minutes every day deciding whether or not to wear a bra, and which one to wear if I have to."

Li Lanni tilted her head and glanced at her chest. "I wouldn't wear any if I were you. It wouldn't make much of a difference anyway."

Cheng Yu looked down at her almost flat chest then covered it with her hands and glared at Li Lanni. "Lanni, you pervert!"

Li Lanni broke into a chuckle. Then the word pervert reminded her of someone.

Urgh… why did he have to invade her thoughts even when she was simply having a random conversation with her friend?
