I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 291 You're a tough guy! You're a suicide squad member!

After being discovered, Qin Kun wolfed down a few bites and hurriedly left the cafeteria, not daring to linger any longer.

Meanwhile, Zhou Heng and his group were still discussing this matter...

"Oh, he bumped into you yesterday, and then returned the bookmark to you this morning... Doesn't sound like anything special?"

After hearing Shen Linyi recount what happened yesterday, Tang Zhi looked at her with some surprise.

Since there doesn't seem to be any particularly special plot, why would that boy keep staring at Shen Linyi...?

Yu Lingxue asked with a smile, "Could it be that he likes you?"

Before Shen Linyi could speak, Yin Mengran interjected, "There must be many people who like you, sister, so there's nothing wrong with that..."

"How could anyone possibly like me..."

Shen Linyi lowered her head and muttered something under her breath.

She has a very clear understanding of herself; how could someone who always wears a cold and sour face possibly be liked...?

From a young age, she craved everyone's approval, and this desire meant that even the slightest dislike from one person would be a huge blow to her...

In the end, even if nine out of ten people like her, and only one person doesn't, she'll still feel like nobody likes her...

Shen Linyi has this kind of personality. Although she suffers from severe social anxiety and shuts herself off completely, deep down she still hopes to make many friends...

Soon it was afternoon, and Zhou Heng and his classmates continued their military training.

Shen Linyi went to the classroom to prepare for class...

As I walked into the classroom, Qin Kun arrived at the door at the same time...

"what..."

Qin Kun awkwardly took a step back to let Shen Linyi go first, and whispered, "You go first..."

Shen Linyi, holding her book, nodded gently and responded with a very soft "Mmm".

After Qin Kun entered the classroom, his friend immediately came over, grabbed Qin Kun's arm, and whispered:

"What's going on? Bro? Why are you here with Shen Linyi?"

"Oh, what a coincidence that we bumped into each other at the door! We came together..."

"A coincidence? You weren't following her, were you? You're really bold! There are so many girls out there, why did you have to pick the least likely one..."

"What are you saying..."

Qin Kun shook off the boy's hand, looked up at Shen Linyi, and saw her sit down and start reading a book.

She no longer looked up, no longer looked elsewhere, as if everything around her was irrelevant...

Qin Kun stared at Shen Linyi for a long time... remaining silent for a long time, as if deep in thought.

After a while, he looked at the boy next to him and asked:

"Do you think... is it possible that Shen Linyi actually wants to make friends, but she... doesn't know how?"

"Huh? Bro, are you stupid? Come on, tell me, where does she look like she wants to make friends?"

The boy turned Qin Kun's head to look at Shen Linyi and questioned her.

Qin Kun looked at Shen Linyi, and the image of her he had seen when he bumped into her yesterday flashed through his mind.

And at lunchtime, when I saw her in the cafeteria, did I... see her smile?

Qin Kun frowned slightly, pushed the boy aside, and said:

"Watch closely, I'll show you what a real man is..."

After saying that, he walked straight towards Shen Linyi. The boy tried to stop him, but he couldn't pull him away no matter what he did...

"Hey! What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"

The classroom fell silent, most eyes fixed on Qin Kun, wondering what he was up to...

The next second! Under everyone's watchful eyes,

Qin Kun plopped down in the seat next to Shen Linyi, a seat that no one had ever dared to sit in before!

"hiss!"

The boy gasped, his eyes widening in shock. He shook his head and muttered:

"Brother, you're not just a man, you're a tough guy, you're a suicide squad member!"

Shen Linyi, who was engrossed in her book, froze instantly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone sit down beside her... and she sensed it as they sat down...

"Hmm? Is she... trembling?"

Qin Kun frowned slightly, somewhat surprised. Although Shen Linyi didn't look up, her body seemed to be trembling slightly...

"Cough cough..."

Qin Kun coughed softly twice, then held out his hand and whispered to Shen Linyi:

"Um... could I borrow one of these books? I'd like to read one too, is that alright...?"

Shen Linyi paused for a moment, then slowly reached into the desk, randomly took out another book, placed it on her desk, and gently pushed it away with her fingers...

Throughout the entire ordeal, Shen Linyi didn't raise her head once, nor did she utter a single word...

However, Qin Kun sensed that Shen Linyi seemed to be misunderstood...

Before he sat down, he was already wondering what Shen Linyi's attitude would be.

Will they raise their heads and glare at me fiercely, then say some incredibly cold and harsh words?

Qin Kun was already mentally prepared for all of this...

However, now that he's actually sat down and forced a conversation with Shen Linyi, he discovers...

She seemed a little scared...

This was completely different from what he had expected, but it slightly confirmed his earlier guess.

"Um... is it okay if I sit here? The lighting is nice here. If you don't like it, I'll leave."

Qin Kun asked in a low voice.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shen Linyi slowly raised her hand, but then lowered it again after a few seconds of hesitation...

This completely confused Qin Kun. Did they agree or disagree?

However, Qin Kun, adhering to his shameless attitude, nodded and said with a smile:

"Then I'll take that as a yes, thank you."

After saying that, he looked down at the book Shen Linyi had lent him...

At first glance, there were no words on the cover, which puzzled him. What kind of book was this? Why didn't it have a name?

He randomly flipped to a page, frowned, stared at the text, and read aloud:

"Ranran is so cute, she's the best little sister in the world..."

"Whoosh!"

0.01 seconds later, a hand darted out at a speed invisible to the naked eye and snatched the book from Qin Kun's hand in an instant!

Before Qin Kun could even react, his hands were already empty...

Looking over at Shen Linyi, I saw that she had already stuffed the book into her desk...

At the same time... Shen Linyi's ears turned visibly red, a very deep red!

Qin Kun's mouth gaped open; he then realized what that had just been...

"Is that...your...diary?"
