Chapter 979: Beautiful Girl (24)

“Let's talk.”

Chang Zhan was the one who spoke first. His tone was cold and devoid of emotion.

Even when facing Tang Guo, those dark eyes of his remained calm. No matter how stunning the girl before him was, she couldn't stir his heart in the slightest.

Tang Guo smiled. “Sure. Where shall we talk?”

Chang Zhan swept his gaze around before finally landing on an ice cream shop.

“Let's go there.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he paused for a moment. He never went to ice cream shops. And if he wanted to talk to someone, he definitely wouldn't choose such a sweet, cloying place.

Especially when every pair entering and leaving the shop consisted of young couples.

But since he had already spoken, taking back his words and changing his mind wasn't his style.

Besides, it was already six o'clock, and though evening had arrived, the sun was still bright and the weather hot. An ice cream shop was perhaps a decent choice.

The two entered one after the other. Being a gentleman, Chang Zhan naturally asked, “Ice cream or iced water?”

Sitting down, Tang Guo propped her chin with one hand and curved her lips upward.

“I want ice cream.”

“What flavor?”

Chang Zhan's voice remained as flat as ever. A nearby couple eating ice cream couldn't help glancing over.

The girl whispered to her boyfriend, “Is that guy trying to court a girl? Why is his voice so cold and his face so stiff? It's like she owes him five million yuan. With that attitude, can he even chase girls?”

Chang Zhan frowned and turned around.

“We are classmates. I'm not pursuing her.”

The girl froze awkwardly. Her boyfriend had better judgment and immediately sensed that Chang Zhan wasn't someone easy to provoke, so he hurriedly apologized with an awkward smile.

Chang Zhan's brows relaxed.

“It's fine. I just wanted to clarify things and avoid misunderstandings.”

Tang Guo watched all his actions with interest.

At that moment, Chang Zhan continued asking, “What flavor do you want?”

“All of them. One scoop of each, and fill it up as much as possible. I really like ice cream.”

Chang Zhan blanked out for a second.

Before his brain could process it, his legs had already carried him to the counter.

Not long after, he returned with a cup of iced water and a large bowl filled with every flavor of ice cream.

“There are quite a few kinds. One scoop of each happened to fill the bowl.”

“Thank you.”

Tang Guo accepted it and immediately took a bite, praising it as she ate.

“It's just as delicious as ever.”

Chang Zhan didn't understand.

Why was this girl so happy eating ice cream?

He could tell from her expression that ice cream made her feel both happy and content.

“By the way, Senior Chang Zhan, what did you want to talk to me about?”

Chang Zhan's expression turned serious again. Staring straight at her face, he asked earnestly,

“Do you like Wei Liang?”

“No.”

Tang Guo hurriedly shook her head, then asked in surprise, “Wei Liang and I are friends. How could I possibly like him? Senior Chang Zhan, do you think I got close to him because I have other intentions?”

“Of course not.”

Chang Zhan relaxed inwardly before asking again,

“What about Zuo Ran?”

“They're just good friends.”

A clean, bright smile appeared on the girl's face.

“The entire school is spreading rumors about me. I never thought they would believe me. I think they can be my friends. Before I get into university, I won't date anyone. I really only regard them as friends. After all…”

She smiled softly.

“They're my only friends.”
