The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince! - Chapter 305

Chapter 305

“Momo!” An Xiaxia cried out in surprise and rushed over to help her up .

Su Xiaomo looked around in bewilderment and sat back in her chair with An Xiaxia’s help .

Nangong Jing guffawed . “Su Xiaomo, you idiot! You’re so dumb! How did you fall down while sitting… Ahahahaha!”

Su Xiaomo didn’t pounce on him to shut him up like she usually did . Nangong Jing’s croak resonated in the air, as unpleasant as the quack of a duck .

“That’s enough! Can’t you see what’s going on?!” As Su Xiaomo’s good friend, Kang Jian stepped forward and smacked Nangong Jing on his forehead .

An Xiaxia waved her hand in front of Su Xiaomo’s face . “Momo, talk to me . What’s going on?”

Su Xiaomo flashed her a forced smile . “Nothing… I didn’t sleep well last night . I need to catch up on my sleep . ”

After that, she ignored An Xiaxia’s concerned look and threw herself down on her desk .

Her eyes were burning and she sniveled quietly . Before she knew it, tears rolled down her cheeks and soon dampened her sleeves .

The teenager sitting in the back row, who was as mild as a spring breeze, put down the book in his hand the moment she lowered her head .

He Jiayu watched Su Xiaomo in silence . She wasn’t making any sound, but he could feel the poignant sorrow coming off her .

Was she this upset because of what he said?

–

Let us rewind the time back to the day of the New Year’s Gala .

After Sheng Yize punched Rong Che, all hell broke loose . It was well after 11PM when everything settled down . He Jiayu was about to go to bed when he received a message from Su Xiaomo .

“I’m outside… Um, may I see you now?” The girl sounded nervous and jittery .

He went downstairs, where Su Xiaomo smiled brightly at him, wrapped in a cream-colored scarf . Her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky .

“Are you three all right? That was crazy . I went to check up on Xiaxia just then . Sister Ke gave her a hard time and she almost cried…”

“I’m alright . ” He Jiayu smiled at her . “Can I help you?”

Su Xiaomo wrung her hands together behind her back for a long time before she summoned up her courage and passed him the bag . “Happy new year, He Jiayu . ”

In the bag was the scarf from last time .

He Jiayu was noticeably surprised . He suddenly realized why Su Xiaomo had been avoiding him these days .

So, the gift was for him .

He smiled and took it, looking as mild and genteel as ever . “Thank you . ”

Su Xiaomo’s cheeks flushed . “You’re welcome… It’s the least I can do . I wish you a happy new year and for you to live long and prosper… Bah, what am I talking about? Anyway, I hope you’ll live each day happier than the day before!”

Su Xiaomo finished all that in one go . Panting slightly, she looked at the placid face of the teenager in front of her .

He smiled the entire time . However… it was a smile that was so distant and cold .

Yes, it was so cold .

An emotion that shouldn’t be seen on He Jiayu .

He was supposed to be the April breeze that was so warm and comfortable that one could melt in it…

The next second, her suspicions were confirmed —

“Thank you for your new year present and your good wishes . Su Xiaomo, you really are a good friend . ” He was still smiling, as if he had no idea how hurtful his words were . “I wish you a wonderful year as well, my good friend . ”

Su Xiaomo was stunned .

Friend? A good friend?

Had he thought of her as nothing but a friend all along?!

“He Jiayu… You…”

“I have someone I like now . ” The smile widened on the mild teenager’s face, which became a razor that cut her heart .
