SWNOVELS Chapter 1634
The next day, whenever the thought of Yuchi Yishu coming over to meet her popped up, it made Tang Yuanyuan extremely nervous. Throughout the entire day, she was inattentive toward most things and so, she spent the whole day in a tense state.
Seeing how she was being preoccupied with something, Meng Kefei became worried and queried, “What’s wrong? How many times have you spaced out today?”
Tang Yuanyuan shook her head. “No. It’s nothing.”
“Oh right, since you’re a little down these days, why not we go shopping after school? While we shop, I can buy some clothes too.” Faced with Meng Kefei’s invitation, Tang Yuanyuan would usually accept it right away. However, Tang Yuanyuan had already made a promise with Yishu today and she could not possibly break her promise again.
“I’m sorry, Fei. I have other things to attend to later, so I can’t accompany you to go shopping.”
“Other things?” Meng Kefei doubted this. “What kind of things?” Suddenly, she remembered that Chufeng had come by to look for Tang Yuanyuan yesterday. She then asked, “Is Chufeng coming over to find you again? Have you both already made an appointment with each other? If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t put him off. We can wait two more days until you’re free; then, we can go shopping.”
Since Meng Kefei had already put it this way, Tang Yuanyuan did not make any further explanations. She only nodded, “I’m sorry, Fei; I’ll accompany you in two days once I have this matter sorted out.”
“No worries. It’s because you were feeling down these days that I wanted to accompany you. Since you already have someone to accompany you, I’m relieved.” Afraid that Tang Yuanyuan would overthink, Meng Kefei reached out and pinched her cheeks. “I hope to see you become happy, so don’t worry too much and go ahead.”
“Thanks, Fei.”
When school had ended, Tang Yuanyuan slowly packed her things. She tried her best to delay by as much as she could.
After Meng Kefei had finished packing, she glanced over and saw that Tang Yuanyuan was still packing up slowly. “Aren’t you going to hurry up?”
Tang Yuanyuan softly replied, “I won’t be so quick, so you can go ahead first.”
“Alright.” Meng Kefei left the classroom after she was done packing. She had wanted to go directly to the library but was suddenly reminded of the ink of her ballpoint pen which had dried up yesterday. Hence, she took a turn and went toward the school entrance; she wanted to buy some at the bookstore.
When she arrived at the school entrance, she noticed a group of girls had gathered to see something. Meng Kefei was confused. What’s happening over there?
“Oh my goodness, he’s so handsome! Who is he?”
“Why is he waiting at our school entrance? Did he come here to pick up his girlfriend?”
“Oh my god! To have such a handsome boyfriend; I’m so envious of her.”
A group of girls was cupping their own cheeks as they looked toward a direction and were softly discussing amongst themselves.
Meng Kefei felt a little surprised, but she did not want to join in. However, in order to exit from the school entrance, she would have to pass through them. In the end, she had no choice but to helplessly walk through them, apologizing along the way. “I’m sorry. Excuse me; passing through.”
Finally, when she managed to squeeze through, Meng Kefei sighed in relief. When she was prepared to visit the bookstore, she noticed a familiar silhouette standing by the school entrance. The tall and thin young man was leaning against the wall. His clothes were simple and casual-looking; he was looking at the floor. He gave off a sluggish yet cold-hearted feeling; his entire body exuded an aura that was telling everyone to stay away from him.
Yuchi Yishu! Meng Kefei’s heart fluttered. After so many days, she did not expect to see him again. He was still so handsome that she could not move her eyes away from him. But, why was he here?
Suddenly, Meng Kefei remembered the things she had been talking about with Tang Yuanyuan during the day and her expression changed. It turned out that he was here for Tang Yuanyuan. However, why did Tang Yuanyuan not tell her about this—that she was meeting Yuchi Yishu and not Zhong Chufeng?
Is she so distrustful of me now? Or did she notice something and did not want to let me know that they were going out together? The more Meng Kefei thought about it, the paler her face became.
On the other hand, Yuchi Yishu, who was leaning on the wall, suddenly realized something and turned his gaze toward her. Meng Kefei?
Meng Kefei stopped in her tracks as she heard the girls behind her making some noise.
“Ah! He’s looking toward this way. Is he looking at me?”
“Oh my god; he’s too handsome!”
Yuchi Yishu pursed his lips and walked toward Meng Kefei.
“Meng Kefei?” Yuchi Yishu called out to her; his voice was deep and attractive.
“Are you here alone?”
Meng Kefei came back to her senses. “Yes, I’m alone. Are you here to look for Yuanyuan?”
“Where is she?”
“She’s still inside, packing her things. I think she’ll be out soon.”
“Okay.”
They did not speak any further and Meng Kefei felt that she could not move her feet. However, she knew that she should get going; otherwise, where would she place her dignity?
But instead of doing so, she dispiritedly asked him, “Do you want me to help you get her?”
“It’s fine. She’s already promised me,” Yuchi Yishu lightly refused her suggestion.
Meng Kefei’s face flushed red and her head turned steaming hot. Why did she open her mouth to ask that question? It would have been better if she had just turned around and walked away. At the thought of this, Meng Kefei bit her lower lip, clenched her fist, turned around, and walked away.
Some girls caught up from behind and gleefully asked, “Meng Kefei, do you know him? Who is he?”
“Yeah, how did you meet such a handsome boy? Can you introduce him to us?”
Meng Kefei agitatedly said, “We’re just acquaintances. We’re not really friends.”
“What do you mean? We just want you to introduce him to us.”
Meng Kefei then quickened her footsteps, not wanting to hear from them anymore.
Alas, Tang Yuanyuan arrived at the school entrance. Only after most of the people were already gone, did she walk out slowly. The moment she walked out, she saw Yuchi Yishu’s silhouette; she remained where she was as she did not want to walk toward him.
From afar, Yuchi Yishu’s gaze fell on her face; he waved at her. “How long do you want to remain as a snail inside?”
Snail? Tang Yuanyuan’s face flushed red as she rebuked, “I’m not a snail.”
“Since you’re not a snail, then hurry up over.”
Tang Yuanyuan bit her lower lip and remained where she was.
Neither refused to budge. After a while, Yuchi Yishu walked up to her and reached out to press on her head. “Is it that difficult for you to come over by yourself? Must you let me take the initiative to walk over to you?”
“Don’t touch me!” Tang Yuanyuan pushed his hand away fiercely.
“So fierce?” Yuchi Yishu helplessly sighed. He then withdrew his hand and replied, “I won’t touch you anymore. Let’s go.”
Tang Yuanyuan gripped onto her bag tightly, looked at his shoes, and said, “We can just talk here. Once we’ve finished, I have to return to do my homework.”
After a moment of silence, Yuchi Yishu began to speak. “There are still students by the side. Are you sure you want to talk about that day you vomited after drinking the milk tea here?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuanyuan’s expression changed. All of a sudden, she started walking forward.
Yuchi Yishu followed behind her and soon caught up to her side. However, when he managed to do so, Tang Yuanyuan immediately quickened her footsteps and trotted forward as she tried to maintain some distance from him.
Whenever Yuchi Yishu caught up, she would trot for a while to keep some distance. Several times later, Yuchi Yishu asked her impatiently, “Aren’t you tired?”
Seeing that there was not a single person around, Tang Yuanyuan stopped in her tracks. “About the milk tea incident that day, you’re not allowed to tell anyone about it.”
