I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 160 Zhu Tao... is in a very bad state right now.

"Liao Haomiao? Oh, he's from Class 1. He hasn't come out yet."

"Really... thank you."

The woman nodded and forced a smile in response to the student.

At the same time, I was also a little surprised. It seems that Liao Haomiao is really famous here... He's known to almost every student I stop...

This woman was Zhu Tao's mother...

She arrived two hours early, just to wait for Liao Haomiao to get out of school...

She arrived so early because she didn't know if Liao Haomiao would be dismissed from school early, and her only purpose in coming here was to wish Zhu Tao well...

Zhu Tao has been acting strangely since last night. She only ate two bites of her favorite dishes for dinner yesterday, and then refused to eat any more.

After returning to his room, he lay down on the bed without moving, staring at his phone in silence.

Soft sobs could be heard intermittently throughout the night, but no matter how much I asked, she wouldn't say what was wrong...

So today she simply asked for a day off for Zhu Tao, letting her stay home and rest instead of going to school.

But her condition didn't improve throughout the day, and she started to feel uneasy. This situation must be related to her relationship...

So she decided to talk to Liao Haomiao and ask him what exactly happened.

So, without telling Zhu Tao, she went to Liao Haomiao's school alone, intending to wait for him after school and ask him what had happened...

Many students came out one after another, and Zhu Tao's mother would go up to almost every one she met and ask if they were in Class 1 and if they knew Liao Haomiao.

"Hey classmates! Do you know Liao Haomiao?"

"Uh? I know you. You are...?"

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran stood there, stunned, looking at Zhu Tao's mother in front of them, somewhat surprised.

How come I ran into a woman anxiously asking about Liao Haomiao's whereabouts as soon as I stepped out of the school?

"Could you please help me find him? I need to speak with him..."

Zhu Tao's mother seemed to be clinging to Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran as if they were her lifeline.

After all, they asked so many people, but none of them were from the same class. Even if they knew Liao Haomiao's name, they weren't familiar with him and couldn't help him.

Now that she's finally met someone she knows, she certainly doesn't want to let the opportunity pass her by.

"You're looking for him...is there something you need?"

Zhou Heng frowned slightly, looking at Zhu Tao's mother with suspicion.

He didn't know the woman's identity, so of course he couldn't help her. Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be related to Liao Haomiao in any way.

"I..."

Zhu Tao's mother was speechless for a moment; she didn't know how to answer the question...

To be honest, that's really strange...

"Eh?"

At this moment, Yin Mengran tugged at Zhou Heng's arm, gesturing for him to look to the side.

Zhou Heng turned his head and saw Liao Haomiao walking out slowly with his head down...

Upon seeing Liao Haomiao, Zhou Heng quickly went over to him.

After getting close to him, I put my arm around his shoulder and called out:

"Hey! Someone's looking for you, see if you recognize them..."

"what?"

Liao Haomiao looked up and paused for a moment.

For a fleeting moment, a flicker of expectation crossed his eyes.

But the next second, as if contradicting himself, that expectation vanished completely.

He looked in the direction Zhou Heng was pointing, his face expressionless...

When he saw Zhu Tao's mother standing there,

Liao Haomiao was genuinely stunned. His pupils dilated slightly, his eyes widened abruptly, and his face was filled with horror, a reaction of extreme shock.

"Holy crap..."

At that moment, Zhu Tao's mother also saw Liao Haomiao, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over.

"Young man! Do you still recognize me? I am..."

Before Zhu Tao's mother could speak, Liao Haomiao quickly bowed and greeted her:

"Hello Auntie!"

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were even more surprised; it seemed Liao Haomiao knew this aunt...

"It's alright, it's alright...no need to be so polite...um...do you have a moment? Could you talk to me about...my daughter?"

Zhu Tao's mother stammered, her tone almost pleading with Liao Haomiao.

Yin Mengran was the first to react; upon hearing the mention of my daughter, she guessed the gist of it...

She leaned close to Zhou Heng's ear and whispered, "This... must be Zhu Tao's mother, right?"

"Really? Her mother is looking for Liao Haomiao? What does she want?"

A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes, his mouth slightly agape, somewhat incredulous.

Upon hearing those words, Liao Haomiao seemed to be injected with adrenaline, instantly becoming energetic. All the dejection he had felt throughout the day vanished in that instant!

"Okay! Okay! I have time! Auntie, let's chat!"

Liao Haomiao nodded repeatedly in agreement, as if afraid that Zhu Tao's mother might change her mind...

With that, Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao's mother left first, completely ignoring Zhou Heng and the others...

Zhou Heng crossed his arms, clicked his tongue, and muttered:

"It seems... we were right, it really is Zhu Tao's mother. And his condition today is also because of Zhu Tao. We were right after all..."

Yin Mengran also crossed her arms, exactly in sync with Zhou Heng, shook her head, and murmured:

"But what could it be about? Are they arguing? There's no need for Zhu Tao's mother to come in person, is there?"

"I don't understand... I'll ask him tomorrow..."

At this moment, Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao's mother arrived outside the school and were walking slowly.

Liao Haomiao was very nervous. He didn't know what Zhu Tao's mother wanted to talk about, but he also really wanted to know how Zhu Tao was doing...

Why am I not replying to his messages and ignoring him...?

Is it really because you overheard that conversation yesterday and got angry?

The two remained silent for a long time before Zhu Tao's mother slowly spoke, asking:

"Um... how's your relationship with Xiaotao lately? Is it going well?"

"Uh..."

Liao Haomiao paused, his lips twitched, unsure how to answer...

Everything was great until yesterday...

But now, he can't guarantee it anymore...

"She should be... alright, right? Um... how is she now? Is she at home? Is she okay?"

Liao Haomiao asked several questions in a row because he couldn't wait to know about Zhu Tao's situation.

Hearing Liao Haomiao's anxious question, Zhu Tao's mother already knew the answer. It seemed that Zhu Tao's condition was indeed related to Liao Haomiao...

"Child, to be honest with you, Zhu Tao... she's not doing well right now. She didn't go to school today, and she hasn't eaten a single bite. When I ask her, she won't say what's wrong. I really had no other choice but to come to you..."
