Chapter 173: Making People Angry

The reason Si Huan was here was that he had just received a call from his good friend, Zhao Feng.

All along, Si Huan had thought that Zhao Feng was the person who liked to complain the most in this world. Sure enough, it was another round of complaints.

“Si Huan, I really have to hand it to you in your taste. I thought you were already infuriating enough, but who knew that the girl you like is even more capable than you in this area. Do you know what Huo Tian said to me just now…”

Although Si Huan wasn’t at the scene, because of Zhao Feng, who was like a broadcaster who would complain about everything regardless of how big or trivial they were, Si Huan managed to know what had taken place at the school gates.

Although Zhao Feng said that Huo Tian didn’t take his slip of the tongue seriously, Si Huan had a feeling that Huo Tian wasn’t as carefree as Zhao Feng had made her sound to be.

Si Huan had a strange intuition that if Huo Tian really didn’t take Zhao Feng’s words to heart, she wouldn’t have deliberately mocked Zhao Feng’s intelligence later on. After all, Huo Tian was a person who’d remember feuds. That mockery was like a small revenge.

However, Si Huan didn’t expect that the first thing he had to do after finding Huo Tian was to be a witness over her ability to make friends.

Under Huo Tian and Bi Ying’s gazes, Si Huan was silent for a long while. He didn’t want Huo Tian to be unhappy, but he also didn’t want to go against his conscience. Hence, he said, “But the first time I saw you was when I was young. I remember that there was a banquet organized by the Huo Family. We greeted each other in the company of adults. I’m sorry, I can’t remember how I felt at that time.”

Of course, Si Huan knew that the first time they met was the day she left the Huo Family. They had met on the mountainous road. He just wanted to change the topic, but he didn’t expect to make Huo Tian unhappy.

Huo Tian didn’t know why she was angry either. Si Huan was clearly right. He didn’t know that she wasn’t the same person as the Huo Tian from the past. However, when Si Huan compared her to the Huo Tian from the past, a sour feeling still surged up in her heart…

Huo Tian’s expression was cold as she glared at Si Huan and then ran away without looking back.

Si Huan subconsciously called out, “Huo Tian?”

Bi Ying looked at Si Huan, who was at a loss. At that moment, dark thoughts inevitably surged into his heart. He wanted to deepen their misunderstanding, thinking that it’d be good if they end up distancing from each other as a result of this…

However, Bi Ying suppressed this tempting thought in the end. It was not that he did not want to take the opportunity to fight for it, but he did not want Huo Tian to be sad.

Bi Ying said, “In the future if you’re asked such a question again, you can answer it directly. No matter if the answer is biased towards Huo Tian, she won’t be unhappy. But if you deliberately change the topic, she will feel that she’s being patronized. She doesn’t like others to be patronizing…”

Si Huan looked at Bi Ying with a complicated expression and bumped his shoulder with his fist. “Thanks, brother.”

Then, Si Huan hurriedly gave chase in the direction that Huo Tian had run off in. He had already been reminded, so of course he had to quickly make up for the mistake he had made. Otherwise, he would also be wasting Bi Ying’s painstaking efforts.

Bi Ying stood on the spot and shook his head with a bitter smile. He thought to himself that if that person wasn’t Si Huan, he would have fought for it no matter what. However, that person just happened to be Si Huan. He was upright and kind. Before they became love rivals, they had become friends first.

Due to his chaotic thoughts, Bi Ying did not notice the surrounding environment. It was only when he heard someone suddenly speak did he realize that someone had been observing them.

“Bi Ying, I really didn’t expect you to like Huo Tian…”

Huo You walked out from a corner not far away. She looked at Bi Ying, who was standing alone, waiting. She wore a distorted expression with suppressed mockery and contempt, trying hard to show her friendliness.

“I really didn’t expect this. Bi Ying, you should have been a genius who can achieve great things, but you end up being willing to hide behind Huo Tian and let her snatch the technological achievements you created. However, she doesn’t care about your feelings and instead likes Si Huan.”

“Bi Ying, are you really willing to accept this?”
