Brother! This is the adoption certificate. I don't want your sister-in-law!

Watching Xu Niannian walk away with her head down, Su Xiao suddenly felt like she was a terrible person.

He asked someone to pretend to be his girlfriend.

They obediently did as instructed.

They took his hand off his shoulder and took it from him.

That was Xu Niannian, the one who blushed when she spoke to him and would shrink into the corner if he looked at her too much.

He shook his hand in front of strangers and even told them, "I'll be unhappy."

She gave all the courage she could muster, then walked away with her head down.

He stood behind for a few seconds before catching up.

"Xu Niannian".

He ran to her side and tilted his head to look at her downcast face.

Xu Niannian turned her face to the other side, not wanting him to see.

He went around to the other side, but she didn't want to go back.

"Xu Daidai," Su Xiao said, still unaware of what she had done wrong, "What's wrong with you? You were fine just now. Did I say something wrong?"

Su Xiao was really confused. Why was Xu Niannian suddenly so upset?

Women's hearts are truly unfathomable; I simply don't understand them.

Xu Niannian bit her lip and quickened her pace.

It feels like there's a stone stuck in my chest; I can't get it out or swallow it down.

He had other girls confessing their feelings to him outside of school...

That Wu Mengmeng, with her brightly colored hair, said he flirted with her on QQ.

Now he's asking me to pretend to be his girlfriend, what's the meaning of this?

Who do I think I am?

Xu Niannian was very sad.

Does he not actually like her and just use her as a shield...?

But she took his hand; it was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to hold a boy's hand.

She said, "I am his girlfriend," and "I will be unhappy," and every word she said was true.

So her grievances and sadness were real.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Xiao was still chasing after her. "How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

Xu Niannian suddenly stopped, turned around, and her eyes were already red.

"You...don't you know that yourself?"

Su Xiao was stunned.

He reviewed all the steps that had just taken place.

He was blocking people at the school gate, so he came back to ask her for help. She put her arm around his shoulder, held his hand, and said, "I'm not happy."

He felt that he had handled each step quite efficiently.

No problem!

Su Xiao never imagined that Xu Niannian was jealous of Wu Mengmeng.

Seeing that he didn't react, Xu Niannian bit her lip, turned around and walked upstairs quickly.

Su Xiao stood still, looking up at her receding figure as she walked up the stairs, stamping her feet as she went.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

If she were to leave like this, given her personality, she would probably never speak a single word to him again in her life.

"Xu Niannian!"

He gritted his teeth and rushed up the stairs to the corner.

"stop!"

Su Xiao grabbed her hand and said earnestly, "I don't want to miss out on you in this lifetime."

Xu Niannian was taken aback, then heard him continue, "I really like you, do you like me?"

Seeing that Xu Niannian still didn't speak, Su Xiao got angry and let go of her.

"Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After saying that, Su Xiao turned and went downstairs, but the stairs were narrow, and he walked quickly.

Before I knew it, the sole of my shoe slipped on the edge of the step.

He lost his balance, leaned forward, and tumbled down three or four steps, landing with a thud on the lawn outside the building.

Su Xiao lay on the lawn, her back aching so badly she was wincing, and she was seeing stars.

"Holy crap, I almost died from that fall..."

Su Xiao smiled bitterly to herself. How could a person be so unlucky?

Wasn't Backkom cancelled?

"Are you... are you alright...?"

Xu Niannian quickly ran downstairs, her voice filled with anxiety and fear.

"No...it's nothing."

Su Xiao quickly got up, and although her back was hurting terribly, she still tried to remain calm.

Su Xiao felt a little annoyed when she thought that Xu Niannian hadn't answered her question yet.

"Alright, alright, I'm off now. See you tomorrow."

Su Xiao rubbed her lower back and waved her hand.

Xu Niannian watched him walk away step by step, her worry still etched on her face.

She then remembered what Su Xiao had asked earlier.

"I really like you, do you like me?"

Watching Su Xiao's limping figure, Xu Niannian moved her lips and whispered something.

"I like it..."

I don't know if he heard me or not.
