This Childhood Sweetheart is a Little Sweet

Chapter 72

Jiang Wei actually didn't want to tell Yi Ming about this incident, but after thinking it over, she felt that concealing it would make her appear less than pure in her motives. She didn't want Yi Ming to misunderstand, and even more so, she didn't want him to feel uncomfortable if he heard about it from someone else later on.

Therefore, Jiang Wei decided to tell him about the whole thing in detail.

After class, the moment Jiang Wei walked out of the classroom door, she stopped a classmate and borrowed their phone. Yi Ming's number was already halfway dialed when suddenly a bouquet of fresh flowers appeared right in front of her, even blocking the phone screen.

Jiang Wei was startled, taking two steps back and slightly shifting her body to the side. It was then that she realized the person holding the fresh flowers was none other than Shen Yuzhe.

"Senior Shen."

Jiang Wei's expression remained calm as she cancelled the number on her phone, then addressed Shen Yuzhe, "I thought I had made it very clear to you..."

"I know," Shen Yuzhe replied with a slight raise of his eyebrows. He adjusted his glasses smoothly and gave an awkward smile, "These flowers were given to me by the boss of the flower shop where I work part-time. He's closing down the shop and couldn't sell the remaining flowers in time, so he let me pick out a bouquet to take home."

Jiang Wei knew he meant no harm, but matters of the heart can never be reasoned with.

She didn't want her unclear actions to cause any misunderstandings, nor did she want to hinder Shen Yuzhe's romantic feelings, so she had to swiftly and cleanly resolve this "flower delivery" situation.

More and more people were gathering around to watch, and the classmate who had lent Jiang Wei her phone cautiously approached, "Jiang Wei, do you still need my phone... if not, I'll head back to the dorm..."

Jiang Wei realized Shen Yuzhe's situation couldn't be resolved quickly, so she nodded and handed the phone back to her classmate.

After returning the phone, Jiang Wei turned and looked at Shen Yuzhe calmly, speaking in a muted voice, "Thank you, Senior Shen, but my roommate has pollen allergies, so I can't really take the flowers back to the dorm. You should consider giving them to someone else..."

Xiao Liang stood there dumbly, tugging at Jiang Wei's sleeve, "But your roommate is me, and I don't have pollen allergies... Actually, these flowers smell quite nice..."

Jiang Wei pinched Xiao Liang's waist lightly from behind, and Xiao Liang yelped, "Ouch!" immediately standing up straight and changing her expression, "Oh yeah, my pollen allergy is really, really severe. I'm telling you, there's no way I'd let Jiang Wei bring those flowers into our room, so you can just forget about it!"

Shen Yuzhe was at least their senior, and he could see right through Xiao Liang's poor acting.

"Which type of flower are you allergic to? I have a friend who works at the Abnormal Reaction Clinic in the hospital, if you need..."

"What did you say? You're calling me 'abnormal'?" Xiao Liang looked ready to roll up her sleeves and start a fight if Jiang Wei hadn't held her back.

Jiang Wei quickly reminded her in a low voice, "Abnormal reaction just means allergic reaction... Don't get worked up, Xiao Liang..."

Thanks to being around Yi Ming for so long, Jiang Wei was at least somewhat familiar with some medical terminology.

Once Xiao Liang realized she had made a fool of herself, her aggression died down.

She wrinkled her nose in annoyance, "Why do you need to know what kind of flowers I'm allergic to? Let me tell you, whatever flowers you're giving, my nose will be allergic to them. Isn't it just so convenient that my nose was made especially for you..."

Shen Yuzhe was dumbfounded, his mind filling with a hundred question marks.

In this world... how could there be such an unreasonable girl?

It was only later that he realized Xiao Liang wasn't just being unreasonable - she was downright belligerent...

"You're glaring at me? You're actually glaring at me? A grown man like you is glaring at a girl just because you can't win an argument, what kind of attitude is that..."

Shen Yuzhe: "..."

Shen Yuzhe gave a helpless, bitter smile. He suddenly realized that on his path of romantic pursuit, the obstacle was not just Yi Ming...

This girl named Xiao Liang was an even bigger hurdle...
