I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 003

Character name suggestions: (Lin Junkai), (Wang Hong), (Yan Xiaoman), (Lin Xian), (Zhang Mengyao)

Looking at her, she seemed to be waiting for a bus to the driving school. Lin Xian couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t your flower protectors send you?”

The so-called flower protectors were Yan Xiaoman’s two admirers: Lin Junkai from Lin Xian’s class, and Wang Hong from the neighboring class.

Of course, there were many people who liked Yan Xiaoman in Experimental High School No. 1, but these two were the most active, while most others were just secretly in love.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoman tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said indifferently, “Don’t talk nonsense. What flower protectors? They’re just my classmates.”

“I heard Wang Hong confessed to you a few days ago?” Lin Xian asked curiously.

Wang Hong was the flower protector from the neighboring class. He wasn’t very good-looking, but his family was rich, so he could barely be considered a rich second generation.

Two days ago, at a female classmate’s birthday party in the neighboring class, Wang Hong, who had been a simp for three years, finally couldn’t help but confess. The news had been circulating in the class’s Penguin group chat.

“I rejected him. I don’t plan on dating before I graduate from university,” Yan Xiaoman said as if she was talking about something insignificant.

Hmm, the standard way a goddess rejects someone.

As for whether she truly didn’t plan on dating… Heh, only ghosts would know.

Lin Xian wasn’t surprised by the outcome of Wang Hong’s confession.

A simp would always be a simp, even if Wang Hong was a rich second generation, he was just a rich simp.

A simp simps until the very end, and ends up with nothing!

At this moment, Yan Xiaoman took out her phone to check the time and suddenly said, “Lin Xian, riding a bike with one hand like that is very dangerous.”

“What’s so special about riding a bike with one hand? I’m even more impressive driving a Ferrari with one hand!” Lin Xian teased.

What the hell?

Driving a Ferrari with one hand?

Yan Xiaoman was stunned, clearly impressed by his words.

A normal guy hearing this should have said, “It’s indeed unsafe. How about I give you a ride? You can hold the umbrella in the back.” right?

Even a steel-straight man wouldn’t be this straight, would he?

Actually, Lin Xian understood what she meant, but he deliberately didn’t take the hint.

Yan Xiaoman, whether it was her looks, temperament, or academic performance, was excellent, but her personality was a bit tsundere.

She was clearly in a hurry to get to the driving school and wanted a ride, but she insisted on Lin Xian offering first.

So Lin Xian decided to deliberately tease her.

For a moment, they stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The canopy of the bus stop could only block half of the sun, and Yan Xiaoman’s lower body was mercilessly exposed to the scorching sunlight. In contrast, Lin Xian, holding his umbrella at an angle, looked particularly comfortable.

Finally, Yan Xiaoman succumbed to the high temperature and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going to the driving school to practice driving?”

“Yeah! What’s up?”

Lin Xian stifled a laugh, deliberately pretending to be confused.

“You…”

Yan Xiaoman wasn’t stupid; she had already realized that Lin Xian was deliberately teasing her.

She was furious!

If it were any other student from Experimental High School No. 1, countless people would be scrambling to give her a ride.

Just as she was thinking, a white BMW 520 slowly pulled up in front of the bus stop.

The car window rolled down, and Wang Hong’s face, covered in acne, poked out.

Looking at Yan Xiaoman, Wang Hong said in surprise, “Xiaoman, why are you here?”

Damn, wasn’t this guy rejected after confessing?

In just two or three days, he was shamelessly trying again.

But Lin Xian quickly understood.

Yan Xiaoman’s rejection was very clever. Not planning on dating before university graduation—this excuse neither damaged Wang Hong’s dignity nor did it extinguish his hope.

If she didn’t date before university graduation, then she could wait until after university graduation!

Yan Xiaoman clearly hadn’t expected to run into Wang Hong. She was slightly stunned, then softly said, “I’m going to the driving school to learn how to drive.”

“I’ll give you a ride! It’s on my way!” Wang Hong’s expression brightened, and he said eagerly.

Nonsense, what do you mean “on my way”?

Leaving aside his family’s financial situation, if you can pick up girls with your EQ, I’ll eat shit live.

Lin Xian couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

He really wanted to tell Wang Hong: “Bro, you should just throw money at your future girlfriends. Normal tactics aren’t for you.”

Sure enough, Wang Hong’s words made Yan Xiaoman frown.

His words were unpleasant, and his looks were another factor.

Although Yan Xiaoman knew it was bad to judge people by their appearance, Wang Hong’s face full of acne was truly unbearable to look at. Moreover, she had trypophobia, and seeing Wang Hong’s face would give her goosebumps all over.

In contrast, Lin Xian was much better.

Although Lin Xian’s looks weren’t outstanding, his skin was smooth and fair, and he looked handsome and very refreshing.

So, Yan Xiaoman didn’t hesitate at all and directly said, “Thank you, but you don’t need to trouble yourself. Lin Xian has already agreed to take me to the driving school.”

Hearing this, Lin Xian was stunned.

Wait, when did I say I’d give you a ride?

Before he could react, Yan Xiaoman had already walked over and sat sideways on the back seat.

Immediately, a faint fragrance wafted from behind him.

At this moment, Lin Xian certainly couldn’t kick Yan Xiaoman off; that would be too ungentlemanly.

“You hold the umbrella.”

Handing over the umbrella, Lin Xian waved at Wang Hong, “We’re leaving now, see you!”

Watching their retreating figures, Wang Hong’s expression darkened, and he heavily slammed the steering wheel.

…

On the electric scooter, Yan Xiaoman sat elegantly, maintaining a discreet distance from Lin Xian.

Feeling the faint fragrance lingering at his nose, Lin Xian smiled, “Yan, School Belle, you owe me a favor this time.”

“Stingy!”

Yan Xiaoman snorted lightly.

After a brief silence, Yan Xiaoman asked, “Lin Xian, do you like Zhang Mengyao?”

Zhang Mengyao was the class monitor of Class 8 in the third year of high school. Her looks were on par with Yan Xiaoman’s, and she was also one of the three school belles.

Facing this baseless question, Lin Xian asked in confusion, “Why do you say that?”

“Still trying to deny it?”

Yan Xiaoman said triumphantly, “Last week, when I went to school to get my admission notice, I saw you kept staring at Zhang Mengyao.”

That day, Zhang Mengyao was dressed rather lightly, and her figure was quite well-endowed, naturally attracting many people’s attention.

“It’s not about liking her; everyone appreciates beauty! Besides, I wasn’t the only one looking at her that day.” Lin Xian’s tone shifted, and he teased, “But Yan, School Belle, you’re paying so much attention to me, do you have a crush on me?”

“Dream on!”

Yan Xiaoman playfully slapped his shoulder and said indifferently, “What’s so special about Zhang Mengyao that you guys have to look at her?”

Sure enough, there was competition everywhere among women, and school belles were no exception.

Lin Xian chuckled, saying word by word, “Because of Xiong Da!”

Yan Xiaoman didn’t expect Lin Xian to be so direct. Her pretty face flushed, and she coldly snorted, “Pervert!”

Just as the two were about to fall silent, Yan Xiaoman’s voice came from Lin Xian’s ear again.

“Do you boys all like Xiong Da?”

Hearing this, Lin Xian almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

If Yan Xiaoman had one flaw, it was her flat chest.

Lin Xian coughed, suppressing his laughter, and said seriously, “Not necessarily. Everyone has their own preferences, like different dishes. Some people like Xiong Da, some like Xiong Er, and some even like Bald Qiang…”
