Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 265 Thorny Rose (22)

However, the next moment, Song Yi's gaze fell on Yan Zhen below the teaching building, and he paused in his steps.

The coldness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a smile. He quickened his pace and jogged up to Yan Zhen: "Are you here to wait for me after class?"

"Hmm." Yan Zhen got straight to the point, "Song Yi, I have something to ask you."

Song Yi then noticed that she seemed a little unhappy, and he became uneasy: "Lin Xun, what's wrong?"

"Jiang Xicun dropped out of school, did you know?"

Song Yi looked somewhat confused: "I don't know... why are you telling me this?"

Yan Zhen stared intently at him, trying to find any trace of a lie on his face: "Did her dropping out of school have anything to do with you?"

Song Yi was taken aback, his smile vanished, and instead of answering, he asked, "You suspect that I'm the one who made her drop out of school?"

Yan Zhen didn't answer his question, persisting with her own: "Did you do it?"

“No,” Song Yi gave a definite answer. “I didn’t know she dropped out of school.”

Yan Zhen remained silent, his brows furrowing deeply.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Song Yi said, feeling wronged, "You don't believe me?"

"I..." Yan Zhen opened her mouth, wanting to deny it, but subconsciously she didn't want to deceive Song Yi.

She truly didn't believe him about this.

Song also possessed such abilities and methods.

Yan Zhen wasn't ungrateful; she knew that even if Song Yi did it, his purpose was for her own good.

But Yan Zhen felt that such behavior was dangerous.

Just because she "doesn't like this person" or "has had friction with this person," she wants to eliminate dissidents. What's the difference between Song Yi and Qin Huai?

Moreover, she had a premonition that if Song Yi was indeed that kind of person, he would eventually lose control if she didn't stop him when she first noticed the signs.

As a beneficiary of the situation, one will inevitably suffer a backlash when he loses control.

Song Yi's eyes reddened, and he took Yan Zhen's hand and left, with the butler following immediately.

Yan Zhen stumbled as he was pulled: "What are you doing?"

Where are you taking me?

"Song Yi!"

Song Yi didn't say anything, but stubbornly pulled her forward, and the two soon arrived at the school's administration building.

Upon arriving at an office, Song Yi pushed Yan Zhen towards the door and said angrily, "The academic affairs director is inside. You can go and ask him if Jiang Xicun's withdrawal has anything to do with me."

After he finished speaking, he added, "I came here with you, and the housekeeper was here too. I didn't have a chance to call and inform the director beforehand."

Yan Zhen: "..."

"Go on," Song Yi pushed her again.

Yan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then walked to the office door and knocked.

She needs to get to the bottom of this today.

A voice inside said "Come in," and Yan Zhen pushed the door open and went in.

As soon as her figure disappeared through the doorway, Song Yi's expression darkened slightly.

Ten minutes later, Yan Zhen walked out of the dean's office.

For once, her usually calm expression showed a hint of unease.

The academic affairs director told her that Jiang Xicun had voluntarily withdrawn from school.

She probed indirectly with several questions, and by observing the dean's expression, she confirmed that the other party was not hiding anything or lying.

She misunderstood Song Yi.

Recalling Song Yi's reaction after being wrongly accused, Yan Zhen mentally prepared how to apologize to him. However, when she came out, she found only the butler in the long corridor of the administration building, and Song Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Yan Zhen asked the butler, "Where is Song Yiren?"

The butler's expression was subtle: "Young Master has returned to Dexian Tower first."

Yan Zhen knew that Song Yi was angry.

Yan Zhen returned to Dexian Building. The door was open, and Song Yi's shoes were kicked all over the place in the entryway, showing how angry the owner was when he entered.

She walked into the living room, but Song Yi was not there.

I didn't see anyone in the bedroom or study.

Yan Zhen searched everywhere and finally found Song Yi sitting barefoot on the balcony. He was hugging his knees and burying his head in his arms like an unhappy ostrich.

Yan Zhen walked up to him, squatted down, and patted his shoulder: "Song Yi."

Song Yi didn't even look up, but moved her body to face away from her, using her actions to refuse to speak to her.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Yan Zhen apologized sincerely. "I shouldn't have questioned you before clarifying the facts."

Song Yi still didn't want to talk to her.

"I'm so sorry I made you suffer," Yan Zhen said. "Can you forgive me?"

Song Yi remained silent.

Seeing that he was angry and didn't want to talk to anyone, Yan Zhen sighed softly, his mind racing, trying to recall what he usually liked and what he could do to calm him down.

But he seems to lack nothing, and he doesn't usually seem particularly interested in anything.

After thinking it over, Yan Zhen remembered a jigsaw puzzle set he had just bought a few days ago in his study.

Song Yi is not a patient person. After buying the puzzle, he only completed a quarter of it before giving up and it's still lying on the table.

Or, you could help him finish the puzzle.

Since I've upset him, I should do something to show my sincerity in apologizing and making up with him.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen prepared to go to the study.

But as soon as she stood up, her skirt was grabbed. Song Yi looked up at her in a panic: "Where are you going?"

Yan Zhen lowered her head, her gaze falling on his face, and she was slightly taken aback.

Song was also crying.

Large tears rolled down his cheeks as he suppressed a sob and gripped her skirt tightly, asking, "Are you leaving?"

"I……"

"Actually, I'm not that angry." Song Yi quickly wiped away her tears. "I'm just... just unhappy. I'll be fine in a bit. Don't go."

Yan Zhen: "..."

A slight stirring ran through her heart, though she couldn't quite describe the feeling.

Looking at Song Yi like this, a very incongruous word popped into her mind.

Pitiful.

Song Yi looks pitiful like this.

Like a puppy worried about being abandoned by its owner.

“I’m not leaving.” Yan Zhen squatted down in front of him again. “I just want to go to the study to help you finish the puzzle.”

"why?"

"I want to apologize to you, but I don't know how to get your forgiveness, so I'm going to help you finish the puzzle. Maybe when you see it, you won't be angry anymore."

Song Yi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then breathed a sigh of relief. He had been kneeling on the ground, but now he shrank back into the corner of the balcony, his expression turning angry again: "Can I continue to be angry?"

"Okay, it was my fault to begin with, so it's understandable that you're angry with me. You don't have to forgive me."

Song Yi snorted, seemingly wanting to continue his tantrum, but then, as if remembering something, he began to silently shed tears again.

This time, he didn't bury his head in his arms like an ostrich, but cried openly in front of Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen felt even more guilty and reached out to wipe Song Yi's tears.

But just as she made a move, Song Yi suddenly grabbed her hand and bit her arm hard.

Yan Zhen endured the pain without crying out or pulling his arm back.

Song Yi bit her for a while in a fit of rage before letting go, but instead of releasing her arm, she rested her head on her arm.

"Lin Xun".

"Ok?"

Am I a bad person?
