Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 372
Chapter 372: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (55)
Shen Mubai sat down and asked, “What am I supposed to do then?”
Xu Lin sighed and pouted, “Those girls are all planning to make handmade chocolates. Don’t you have anyone you want to give something to?”
Shen Mubai replied, “No one.”
Xu Lin rested her chin on her hand, looking at the girl’s pretty face, and said enviously, “I guess. Look at how popular you are. On Valentine’s Day, you’ll still have lots of boys giving you things. And there’s also school grass An ; you’ll probably receive chocolates until you’re sick of them.”
Shen Mubai remembered back in her third year of middle school when the young male lead received many love letters and gifts from girls, but in the end, he didn’t accept any of them.
She couldn’t help but say, “He won’t accept them.”
Xu Lin was taken aback for a moment and then looked at her with an ambiguous gaze.
Shen Mubai helplessly explained, “He’s quite serious when it comes to relationships and won’t give others any false hope.”
She thought for a moment, “Unless he likes that girl.”
Xu Lin, still resting her chin, said, “I just don’t get it. Why can’t childhood friends become lovers? You two look so perfect together.”
Shen Mubai couldn’t help but laugh and said, “If you have time to think about such things, you might as well use it to study for the exams.”
Xu Lin groaned and held her head in pain.
Two days later, on Valentine’s Day, the school was bustling, as if everything was tinted with a pink glow.
The girls, having carefully crafted their chocolates, either gave them to their crushes or shared the fun with their friends.
Of course, there were also boys who wanted to confess to the girls they liked, and they had prepared little gifts.
When Shen Mubai was stopped by a clean-looking, handsome boy, the group of boys beside him started cheering him on.
The handsome boy seemed shy, with a faint blush on his face. “Hello, Jiang Luoluo.”
Shen Mubai was most wary of this type of innocent boy, quickly thinking of a way to handle the situation.
She replied, “Hello, is there something you need, classmate?”
The handsome boy was a bit stunned, realizing he had left his gift with his friends. A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face as he scratched his head and said, “I’m sorry, can you wait a moment?”
Before Shen Mubai could nod, he had already turned around impatiently.
The handsome boy walked over to the group of boys and held out his hand to one of them, “Give me the gift.”
That boy, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, smiled and said, “Jiang Luoluo is really pretty; no wonder you like her.”
The handsome boy blushed even more and whispered, “Give me the gift, or she’ll leave.”
The boy stepped forward, shoved the gift into his hands, and patted him on the shoulder, “Go get her.”
The handsome boy turned and walked towards Shen Mubai. He was completely unprepared for his friends to give him a push from behind, accompanied by a few laughs, “We’re helping you out, brother.”
Even more bewildered was Shen Mubai, who was suddenly pounced on and almost lost her balance.
The handsome boy quickly regained his composure, stood upright, and angrily said to his friends, “You guys are too much.”
He looked at the girl and apologized, “I’m sorry.”
Shen Mubai waved her hand, “It’s not your fault, but you should tell your friends that it’s best not to joke around like that.”
The handsome boy stared at her and asked, “Can you accept my gift? I like you.”
Shen Mubai scratched the back of her head and said, “Sorry.”
The handsome boy looked disappointed but still said, “It’s okay.”
This incident was just a small episode, something that only mattered to those who cared. For Shen Mubai, it was just another ordinary event.
