Liu Mengting saw Zhang Yuze lower his head, assuming he was feeling sad. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't. Although over this period, she had developed some affection for Zhang Yuze, it hadn't truly reached the point of a romantic relationship. However, she couldn't bear to completely reject him, so she said those ambiguous words, hoping Zhang Yuze would give up.
"Yuze, can we talk about this after the college entrance exam?"
Liu Mengting thought for a moment and finally made up her mind to give Zhang Yuze a little hope. She didn't want her actions to affect Zhang Yuze's studies, especially since he had made significant progress recently.
"Uh!" Zhang Yuze didn't expect that his silence would lead to such an unexpected promise from Liu Mengting.
"I will wait. I hope you can really give me a chance," Zhang Yuze said with deep emotion, gazing at Liu Mengting's fair and jade-like face.
Liu Mengting lowered her head, fiddling with her small hands, remaining silent. However, the light flickering in her eyes revealed that her heart was not at peace.
Fortunately, the silence between the two didn't last long. A dark cloud enveloped the blazing sun in the sky, and fiery red clouds radiated brilliant colors around the cloud, forming a beautiful picture with the mountains, water, and blue sky.
"It's so beautiful!" Liu Mengting stood on the grass, gazing at the natural scene before her, completely captivated.
"Yes! It is indeed very beautiful. Such scenery is rare even here!" Zhang Yuze exclaimed sincerely.
"It's a pity I didn't bring my drawing tools; otherwise, I could have painted this," Liu Mengting said, a hint of regret in her eyes.
Zhang Yuze's heart stirred, and he quickly said to Liu Mengting, "Wait a moment; I'll go see if I can buy them here."
After searching through several small shops nearby, Zhang Yuze finally managed to buy all the necessary painting tools. However, when he returned to the original spot, Zhang Yuze saw three young men, who looked to be in their twenties, sitting in their original location. One of them, a young man with an arrogant air, was saying something to Liu Mengting. His flirtatious manner clearly disgusted Liu Mengting.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuze's face instantly darkened.
Zhang Yuze quickly walked forward and said to Liu Mengting in a low voice, "Mengting! I've bought the things; let's go!"
Liu Mengting was very happy to see Zhang Yuze return. She nodded quickly, preparing to get rid of the men's entanglement and leave with Zhang Yuze. However, at this moment, the young men immediately disagreed.
"This male comrade can leave, but the girl stays. We haven't gotten to know each other yet, what's the rush?" a young man who looked like a playboy said with a sinister smile.
"Looks like you guys are planning to force someone into something?" Zhang Yuze said to the yellow-clothed young man with a sneer.
"We don't mean anything else; we just want to make friends with this girl and chat! What does it have to do with you?" the young man in yellow clothes said with a fake smile.
"Hey! Hey! That depends on whether she is willing or not."
