Chapter 35 - The Reason He Cared Was Only Because It Was Lu YunFei

Zhao Yao pondered for a long time before she decided to look for Lu YunFei. She had constantly replayed Zhang Wei’s words in her head since afternoon. Zhang Wei used to chase after Bian JinYuan in year one, and definitely understood him better than she did. Hearing what she said, Zhao Yao worried that the reason why Bian JinYuan had gotten close to Lu YunFei was his money.

Zhao Yao wouldn’t have cared if this were anyone else. But this just happened to involve Lu YunFei, whom she had a crush on since the later half of year one, and she couldn’t just sit back and ignore it.

Sun Yao brought Lu YunFei over and then left, giving the stage to Lu YunFei and Zhao Yao.

Lu YunFei had no choice but to awkwardly start with, “You were looking for me?”

Zhao Yao nodded, “I’m Zhao Yao from class three. I was also from class three in year one, do you have an impression?”

Lu YunFei shook his head, puzzled, “We’ve met before?”

Zhao Yao nodded once more, “Once when I was cleaning the bathroom, you were also on cleaning duty and saw that I was feeling unwell, so you got me to go back to the classroom to rest. You wound up helping to clean the corridor and staircase that our class was in charge of. Do you remember that?”

Lu YunFei tried to remember, but could only express in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I really don’t.”

Zhao Yao felt disappointed at his apologetic face and mumbled, “You really don’t remember.”

Lu YunFei saw a flash of hurt cross her face and found himself unable to do anything about it. This situation couldn’t be blamed on him, he had helped so many people before, if it hadn’t been a thousand instances, then it was eight hundred. He hadn’t found this instance to be anything worth remembering.

Lu YunFei saw that the atmosphere between them had gone stagnant, and carefully opened his mouth in an attempt to break the discomfort, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going off.”

Seeing this, Zhao Yao didn’t care about hiding her hurt. She looked at him and stuttered before she could finally get the words out, “I like you.”

Lu YunFei knew that it was going to wind up this way.

Since he was in year five of elementary school, there had always been a stream of girls who would either shyly or confidently proclaim that they liked him.

However, Lu YunFei hadn’t yet opened up to the world of romance, and was completely oblivious to the youthful girlish emotions, so he said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I think that we should be focusing on studying. Thank you for liking me, but I’m not looking for a girlfriend right now.”

“I won’t get in the way of your studies,” Zhao Yao said gently, “We could try starting out as friends, it doesn’t have to be a boy-girl relationship.”

Lu YunFei smiled, “Forget it,” He said, “I don’t really know how to interact with girls. Furthermore, you’ve already confessed to me, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to become friends now.”

Zhao Yao didn’t know what to say after he had completely rejected her.

Lu YunFei saw that she didn’t have anything more to say and readied to leave, “Then I’ll get going, you should too.”

“Wait,” Zhao Yao hurriedly said to stop him.

Lu YunFei felt mentally fatigued, why did he have to wait? Hadn’t he already made things clear?
