Age of Legends

Chapter 164 So that’s it
When Zheng Xue saw this, she exclaimed "Oh!" in her heart. She looked at Zhuang Yanyue and thought to herself, "You are really good at it!"

Zheng Xue was clear-headed. When she first heard that Zhuang Yanyue had failed to pursue Zhang Chen, she was shocked as if the world had turned upside down. But then Zhang Chen's performance in the second year of high school proved that Zhuang Yanyue was still quite sharp in her vision.

At this point, no one says that Zhang Chen is not worthy of Zhuang Yanyue. On the contrary, Zhang Chen has become somewhat famous in Yude and is considered a well-known figure in the high school.

But Zheng Xue felt that, regardless of whether Zhuang Yanyue and Zhang Chen were serious or not, it didn't seem appropriate for them to be in a relationship at this stage.

High school will soon be over, and everyone will experience big changes in their lives. If Zhang Chen was not a friend she knew, she would certainly enjoy watching the fun, but now, she still felt that it would not be too late for the two of them to develop a relationship now and confirm it when they go to college in the future. Zheng Xue even felt that this would probably become a good story for her high school classmates to discuss later.

Now, Zheng Xue hopes that Zhang Chen and Zhuang Yanyue will exercise restraint, keep a certain distance, and focus on the overall situation of the college entrance examination.

Soon there was a burst of low discussion and surprise from the crowd.

Compared to the excitement caused by Zhuang Yanyue's gift to Zhang Chen in the crowd.

Qin Tangxi seemed uncharacteristically silent. Using her gaming terminology, she had most likely just suffered a critical hit.

……

"That's thoughtful." Zhang Chen looked at Zhuang Yanyue's water cup, nodded, put it back into the box and put it away.

Zhuang Yanyue remained silent and sat aside. She understood one thing very well: when giving someone a gift, never ask for the same in return. If the other party has received the gift, making a request would instead break the favor. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

I failed many times in making this water cup. Although it looks like a crooked and randomly molded piece of clay, in fact, when it comes to firing the finished product, this kind of uneven thickness and crooked product is most likely to have internal stress cracks during the firing process, and it is unusable.

So even though the finished product is just an ugly one, the effort put in by Zhuang Yanyue, who failed five times, is even as great as that put in to create a perfect work of art.

But she felt that giving this was more interesting, which was the reason why she failed so many times and was discouraged and wanted to give up but finally persevered.

Now seeing Zhang Chen's actions and the recent contacts, Zhuang Yanyue also began to truly understand Zhang Chen's character. He was very purposeful and sometimes could even conceal his true self and disguise himself as anything.

So he could also deliberately be frightened by this ugly water cup, make a fuss, or tease her a few words to show that he has always behaved like that towards her in the past, deliberately pushing her away, or acting like it doesn't matter.

However, there was none of these, and Zhang Chen accepted it calmly.

Zhuang Yanyue knew that her tactics had worked and Zhang Chen must have been caught off guard.

Haha...this still can't defeat you?
Little Zhang Chen...

Seeing Zhang Chen's calmness as he put away the gift, Zhuang Yanyue, who thought she knew him well, raised her lips slightly, thinking that even if it was you, Zhang Chen, you would fall to this trick of "sincerity is the ultimate move"...

……

Zhang Chen put away the gifts. They were not too big and could just fit into one pocket. He placed them on the sofa. When it was time to leave in the evening, Wang Bowen would drive over and he and Wang Shuowei would take the gifts into the car and leave.

Zhuang Yanyue gave a gift, Zhang Chen accepted it, and then it was as if nothing had happened.

Someone in the KTV next to the restaurant has already started shouting.

After eating and cutting the cake, it was time to sing karaoke. A group of people rushed into the ktv room, and Wang Shuowei picked up the microphone and started singing. Everyone took turns to order songs, but the difference was that Zhuang Yanyue sat very far away from Zhang Chen this time. There were three long sofas here, and they sang karaoke around the plasma TV on the wall. Zhuang Yanyue sat directly opposite Zhang Chen. No longer contacting Zhang Chen, this was a play of playing hard to get. Zhuang Yanyue also knew that after giving a gift, it was not advisable to act too hastily. At this time, keeping a sense of distance would actually enhance the good impression that had been cultivated.

Qin Tangxi simply sat down next to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen tilted his head: "?"

My little cousin, what are you up to now?

Qin Tangxi had obviously just recovered from the previous blow, and now his mind was full of questions. What qualifications did Zhang Chen have?
But she couldn't explain why she always wanted to find fault with him.

Could it be that he really saw his sister taking tutoring classes with him in a bookstore during the winter vacation? Did he feel that his sister might be snatched away? So he developed hostility and a sense of crisis?

But this is a contradiction in itself. Since she thinks Zhang Chen is not worthy of her at all, why would she worry about her sister falling in love with him?

Most likely, she still thinks that Zhang Chen is scheming? He is not as honest as he seems? He is cunning to the core. She knows these men very well, and is afraid that her sister will be blinded by greed and be taken advantage of by him?
So while everyone was singing, Qin Tangxi approached Zhang Chen and asked, "What is your relationship with Zhuang Yanyue?"

"You want to care about this too?" Zhang Chen felt that his little cousin was really something. No wonder Shen Nuo hesitated when he mentioned her to him. He probably didn't want to say the word "excellent" to his cousin.

"I..." Qin Tangxi also felt a little guilty, so he could only say, "I just asked, Sister Yanyue and I just formed a very good teammate relationship!"

Zhang Chen simply ignored her announcement of his position and smiled mischievously, "Are you helping your sister control her brother-in-law's social activities now?"

"What!" Qin Tangxi was stunned for a moment, her black almond-shaped pupils dilated visibly. In the past, all boys were embarrassed when mentioning their sisters. This was probably the first time she met such a shameless guy like Zhang Chen.

The key is his own behavior, which is really just like what Zhang Chen said. This makes Qin Tangxi feel like a rabbit whose fur is caught on fire and jumps three feet high, feeling a great shame of falling into a trap.

So she couldn't help but yelled, "How dare you! How is that possible! Don't think that you tricked my sister into going to the bookstore with you during the winter vacation under the pretext of tutoring and that this is a date! My sister already has someone she likes! Pei Yan, do you know that? My sister has liked him since junior high school, and even if there are ten of you, you can't compare to him!"

And it just so happened that Qin Tangxi's words, which were almost shouted out, happened at the end of the song "Hiroshima Mon Amour" sung by two girls, Yang Lu and Chen Kexin, and someone who was waiting for the next song directly pressed the song change button.

And in the interval between the interruption of the previous song and the start of the next song, there is a period of silence that covers the middle part of the entire show.

Then, Qin Tangxi suddenly said these words, which fell into the ears of everyone in the audience.

Wang Shuowei and Zheng Xue looked at Zhang Chen suddenly. What was going on? Zhang Chen and Shen Nuoyi were dating?
What?
Did the two of them date alone?
Even if there were some people who were not students of Yude, they had more or less heard of Shen Nuoyi's name, and at this moment they all looked over and looked at Zhang Chen.

But in the eyes of those who know them, it is like a mystery is finally unraveling, and some truth seems to be revealed.

On the sofa opposite Zhang Chen, Zhuang Yanyue's eyes were like the bright moon and stars. She stared at the frozen picture on TV which had been paused by someone just now because of hearing these words, and seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that the confusion that has been bothering me for a long time...seems to have finally been answered.

It turns out that the opponent is her.
