During the peak meal time, the cafeteria was packed with people.

As soon as Peng Ning came in, he attracted the attention of many girls.

He confessed his feelings in public and everyone knew about it.

"Hey, isn't that the school girl who was captured by the monster?"

"It looks like Mu Shuiqi. She's back! Didn't the monster eat her?"

"Could it be that the photo is fake? There is no monster at all..."

"Oh my god, Peng Ning actually likes Mu Shuiqi."

"I didn't notice that. I thought Peng Ning and Xu Chang were a couple."

"Ahhhhhh, my idol confessed his love to me. But the person he confessed to wasn't me..."

"I'm going to collapse. When did Peng Ning and Mu Shuiqi become so familiar with each other? My idol..."

There were also boys beating their chests and stamping their feet, "Mu Shuiqi, don't agree to him. I've been secretly in love with you for so long but I didn't dare to confess my feelings to you, and he got there first."

"My goddess can't be with that guy. He has so many beautiful girls around him, he will definitely cheat on me!"

The students in the cafeteria immediately started talking.

The noise from all directions fell into her ears, stinging her eardrums.

Mu Shuiqi was stunned and felt that she was the most embarrassed person.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to go crazy." There was a light in Peng Ning's eyes, but also a hint of grievance.

She would rather he went crazy.

Mu Shuiqi glanced at Cui Mengmeng. The damn girl was actually recording a video.

It was Cui Mengmeng who called Peng Ning over. She then watched the fun from the sidelines.

Mu Shuiqi said, "Student Peng Ning, let's talk outside."

Why did he like her? Why did he confess his feelings for her out of the blue? Why did he choose to do it in a crowded cafeteria? And during peak meal times?

It's over, it's over. One wave has not yet subsided when another wave comes.

She hasn't even explained the monster photo yet, but the rumors haven't died down yet, with another explosive topic like this.

She didn't want to become the focus of the school in this way.

There was never a moment when she wanted to escape back to Xuanyu and hide!

"Okay, let's talk outside." Peng Ning agreed.

The two went out.

Cui Mengmeng sat in the cafeteria, accepting the onlookers' stares.

She's not the one being confessed to, so why are you looking at her?

I feel so uncomfortable. Never mind, I’ll skip the meal.

Slip out and follow Mu Shuiqi and the others.

Mu Shuiqi walked all the way to a secluded path on campus before stopping.

Peng Ning had been brewing a lot of thoughts along the way, thinking about how to confess his secret love for more than a year.

He fell in love with her at first sight since his freshman year.

The girl in front of me who never smiles much, wears simple black, white and grey clothes every day, and at first glance, she doesn't stand out in the crowd.

Unlike Xu Chang who likes to dress up in fancy clothes, she easily catches people's attention wherever she goes.

Unlike other boys, he doesn't like girls like Xu Chang who flaunt themselves on the street.

But he is easily attracted to a cool and low-key girl like Mu Shuiqi.

Although Mu Shuiqi is low-key, she does things in an amazing way.

I've been ranked first in my class every semester. I've received a national scholarship. I even won first place in a programming competition last year.

"Mu Shuiqi, you...I..."

Being alone with her, Peng Ning became nervous again.

The courage I had to express my feelings just now was now half gone.

"What are you talking about? We've always been friends." She said angrily, "You confessed your feelings in public and made me feel very embarrassed."

Peng Ning lowered his head and said in a weak voice, "I didn't intend to confess my feelings today."

He wasn't prepared at all. But sometimes, things get stuck in there for too long, and it's understandable that they suddenly come out.

She didn't want to ask him meaningless questions like why he likes me.

I don’t want to give people the “nice guy” card, that’s very hypocritical.

She told him bluntly, "Penning, I don't like you."

"..."

Peng Ning's expression was like a robot that had crashed.

I was stunned for a while.

Mu Shuiqi's personality was really different from others, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

I just felt embarrassed by being rejected.

There is no hope.

"Why……"

"Liking someone is a hormonal impulse. Disliking someone is also an instinctive feeling. There's no reason. Not everything needs a reason."

She paused, "If you must give a reason. Well, I'll tell you, I have someone I like."

"Do you have someone you like?" He gave an impassive expression.

Cui Mengmeng told him that Mu Shuiqi had no male friends and very few female friends.

"I have a crush on someone, but that person is not you." She looked at him firmly.

He suppressed his inner turmoil and tried his best not to look too devastated.

"Who is that person? Is he from our hospital?"

"No. He's not from our school," he said. "It has nothing to do with you. This is my secret, and I'm not obligated to tell you."

"Oh……"

She noticed tears in Peng Ning's eyes and felt a little sorry for him. She then said, "There are so many female classmates who like you. If you abandon me, you will harvest a large forest."

Cui Mengmeng, who was not far away, was looking towards them. She had heard their conversation.

Mu Shuiqi pointed at Cui Mengmeng and said to Peng Ning: "Mengmeng came to see me, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Mengmeng arrived just in time. She needed to find an excuse to get away and deal with her own troubles.

I haven’t found Xu Chang yet.

"Are you looking for Xu Chang?"

Peng Ning's voice came from behind.

She stopped and turned to ask him: "Do you know where she is?"

He and Xu Chang are good friends, so going through him to find Xu Chang would save a lot of effort.

He forced a smile, "I know where she is. I'll take you to her."

She had just rejected him, but he was still willing to help her find someone.

Shame washed over her. "Thank you."

She rejected him so decisively on purpose, just to cut the Gordian knot.

I don't want to leave him with hope and waste his good time.

Xu Chang is the head of the drama club. On weekends, he usually hangs out in the club office, rehearsing plays and practicing lines with the other members.

Peng Ning went in and called Xu Chang out alone, and Mu Shuiqi was waiting outside the door.

Xu Chang didn't know that Mu Shuiqi was there too, so he happily came out with Peng Ning.

"Mu Shuiqi?" Xu Chang was a little confused when he saw Mu Shuiqi and Cui Mengmeng were both there.

Peng Ning said, "Mu Shuiqi wants to ask you something about the monster photo."

Then, Cui Mengmeng pulled Peng Ning away, leaving her and Xu Chang alone.

Xu Chang looked her up and down, his face full of hostility.

She didn't understand how she had offended Xu Chang.

Resist the urge to hit someone. Depending on the situation, use courtesy first and then force.

"Hello, Xu Chang." She smiled.

"Just tell me what you want to say." Xu Chang didn't look at her well.

"I heard you took a photo of me being abducted by a monster. I want to see what kind of monster it was," she said. "I can't find that photo on the school network anymore."

"Don't you know what monster captured you?" Xu Chang was surprised. "Where did you spend the days you disappeared? Didn't the monster do anything to you?"

"I don't know anything. I really don't know what kind of monster it is. I've been looking for clues about my biological parents these days." Everyone can pretend to be innocent.

Xu Chang looked incredulous. She took out her cell phone from her trouser pocket, took out the photo and handed it to her.

"Look, it's a flying snake. It looks really weird. There's no such thing as an animal in the world! You're really weird to have provoked such a monster."

She took the phone and took a closer look. It was indeed Chouchou. Chouchou had grown a little bigger after eating, and it was in that state.

A triumphant smile appeared on her lips, and with two swipes, she completely deleted the photo, including the one in the Recycle Bin.

The cloud system account where Xu Chang stored his photo album was successfully found from his mobile phone.
