The Beloved and Pampered Girl

The group arrived at a nearby hotpot restaurant.

Knowing she couldn’t sit next to Teacher Zhu, Wu Shanshan deliberately chose a seat directly opposite the table from the “uncle,” ensuring that he would see her whenever he looked up.

How could Wu Shanshan’s little schemes escape Jian Dan’s eyes?

But Jian Dan wasn’t worried at all, she even felt a bit sad for Wu Shanshan.

This was a self-chosen position of suffering.

Once everyone was seated, Wu Shanshan’s eyes were constantly on the “uncle,” ready for their eyes to meet whenever he glanced in her direction.

However, things didn’t go as she had expected.

From the moment he sat down, the “uncle” hadn’t even glanced towards Wu Shanshan’s side, not even out of the corner of his eye.

All his attention was on Jian Dan, never leaving her for a moment.

Zhang Yang watched the scene before him with jealousy, clenching his hands tightly under the table.

Xiaoting’s feelings had changed upon witnessing this scene.

Even the slow-to-catch-on Ouyang Jing had started to notice something.

Leaning towards Xiaoting, he whispered, “Xiaoting, what’s going on with Jian and Teacher Zhu?”

“I don’t know!” Xiaoting replied irritably.

“What do you mean you don’t know? Just look at the way Teacher Zhu looks at Jian. It’s too much for even a straight guy like me to handle.

I can barely eat this hotpot with all this ‘dog food’ being shoved in my face.”

“Is there anything that can shut your mouth, dog food, hotpot, and all?”

“Xiaoting, what’s with you today? You’re acting like you’ve swallowed an explosive!”

“Then just don’t talk to me, lest you get blown up!”

Ouyang Jing wisely shut his mouth.

As a straight man, he knew better than to rile up a woman already in a bad mood, for her wrath was like a nuclear weapon!

And there was Wu Shanshan, helplessly watching her beloved Teacher Zhu, who only had eyes for Jian Dan.

The feeling was indescribably painful.

In matters of the heart, Wu Shanshan had never lost before.

But during dinner, Wu Shanshan found no opportunity until almost everyone was done eating, when the “uncle” stepped out to the restroom.

Wu Shanshan followed him almost immediately.

Jian Dan looked up for a moment, then lowered her head to continue eating.

Witnessing this, Xiaoting commented, “I think that Wu Shanshan is quite interested in Teacher Zhu!” She deliberately glanced over at Jian Dan as she spoke.

Jian Dan could tell that Xiaoting was reminding her.

It seemed Xiaoting still cared about her, she just had some things to figure out.

Just like the “uncle” had said, once she sorted things out, everything would be fine.

Seeing Jian Dan’s lack of reaction, Xiaoting continued, “Wu Shanshan is our school’s beauty, and there’s a long line of people chasing after her. I wonder if Teacher Zhu can resist the temptation!” This time she raised her voice a bit.

“Who is our Shanshan? In terms of looks and figure, she’s top-notch. What man could resist my Shanshan?” boasted one of Wu Shanshan’s followers arrogantly.

“Exactly! Shanshan’s family background is also beyond compare. Don’t think you’ve already won!” another follower added, naturally looking towards Jian Dan.

But Jian Dan paid no attention because she had absolute faith in the “uncle.”

If Wu Shanshan really wanted to kick an “iron plate,” then why should she stop her?

In the end, the one who hurts knows the pain.
