Wang Huiru was a person who had a strong sense of time, which was why she had been the math class representative for three consecutive years. So she arrived at Longwei early, even earlier than Qin Ziang, the one hosting the gathering.
However, she didn't go directly to the hotel; instead, she took a stroll in the vicinity.
Then, she saw Jiang Qin.
At that moment, Jiang Qin was standing in front of a snack shop, holding a black backpack in one hand and petting a calico cat lying on top of a freezer with the other.
Wang Huiru initially thought he had come to attend the gathering, so she went up to greet him and asked when he had arrived.
Little did she know that during their conversation, Jiang Qin said he didn't plan to attend the gathering.
Wang Huiru was one of those well-behaved students highly regarded by teachers. She had a good sense of responsibility and values. She felt that their classmates would soon be going their separate ways, and the days they could gather together were limited. So, she decided to persuade him to join.
"Since you're here, why not have a meal with us?"
"Forget it, you guys go ahead. I'm not too fond of crowds." Jiang Qin teased the calico cat's little paw with his fingers.
Suddenly, Wang Huiru remembered something from a few days ago. "Is it because you're embarrassed about the confession incident, afraid people will laugh at you? There's no need for that; the atmosphere in our class is still harmonious, and you have a good reputation. Besides, we've already graduated, and in the future, we probably won't see each other much. Let them laugh if they want; who hasn't had a failed confession? I really don't mind, but that's not the reason I'm not going."
"Then why?" Wang Huiru refused to give up and continued to ask, but before Jiang Qin could answer, a voice suddenly came from the nearby snack shop.
"Jiang Qin, I want to eat these colorful crystal beads."
Crystal beads?
After hearing this, Jiang Qin was momentarily puzzled, and an image involuntarily popped into his mind.
What the hell are crystal beads? Aren't those for making soy milk?
"You can't eat that! Miss, not everything in the snack shop is edible!" Jiang Qin exclaimed as he rushed inside.
Wang Huiru heard the voice of a girl and walked in with curiosity. She then saw a girl wearing a floral dress with long hair that reached her waist. She had a slim waist, graceful curves, and was exceptionally beautiful, even more radiant than a pearl. Moreover, she happened to know this girl.
done.me
Feng Nanshu.
The three-time consecutive school's top student, the quiet and wealthy young lady, a beautiful and radiant girl.
Wang Huiru widened her eyes in surprise as she watched Jiang Qin snatch a box from Feng Nanshu's hand and nervously inspect its contents, pinching her rosy lips.
What's going on? Is Jiang Qin in a relationship with Feng Nanshu? Did they not attend the gathering because of a date?
The shock of the scene she had just witnessed lingered in Wang Huiru's mind, and at this moment, her classmates were still teasing Jiang Qin, completely unaware that he had already captured the true belle of Chengnan High School.
She didn't know what to say.
"Has Jiang Qin contacted you recently?" Wang Huiru regained her composure and looked at Chu Siqi.
"Why would he contact me? Even if he did, I would absolutely ignore him." Chu Siqi replied, her eyebrows looking charming.
"Do you know what he's been up to recently?"
"Just heard from Guo Zihang, he should still be selling boxed meals."
Wang Huiru fell silent. Her best friend was completely unaware of Jiang Qin's situation. "Siqi, are you still waiting for Jiang Qin to apologize to you?"
Chu Siqi couldn't help but grit her teeth. "Yes, I've been waiting for a long time, but this guy is really patient. He hasn't even sent me a message on QQ."
"Do you think he's just enduring it?"
"What else could it be? He used to chat with me every day, and sometimes I would scold him for being annoying when I was in a bad mood, but he didn't mind. Now he acts all cold and aloof. Isn't that just him enduring it?"
Wang Huiru was torn, unsure whether to reveal what she had just seen. "Siqi, I'm asking you seriously, do you like Jiang Qin?"
Chu Siqi looked at her expressionlessly. "Right now, he's driving me crazy. How could I possibly like him?"
"But in my opinion, Jiang Qin doesn't have you in his mind, but you can't stop thinking about him."
"That's because he's been so overbearing. He's made me upset, and he won't be forgiven until he apologizes to me a hundred times!"
Wang Huiru asked in a hushed voice, a voice only the two of them could hear, "But if Jiang Qin is with someone else, would you be sad?"
Chu Siqi chuckled coldly, "Why should I care if he's with someone else? But you're right; he can't win me over. Sooner or later, he'll be disheartened, and seeking alternatives is a good way."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's eat."
After hearing her best friend's words, Chu Siqi picked up her chopsticks and tapped the plate a few times, but she found herself without an appetite.
Because she was truly annoyed.
She couldn't understand why Jiang Qin didn't understand her efforts. In this world, girls aren't won over with just one attempt. She had given him a chance, even clearly stating that if he persisted, there was hope. Wasn't that enough?
She really wanted to see Jiang Qin regretful, but it hadn't happened yet. That was probably why she was so frustrated.
In the blink of an eye, the gathering was coming to an end. Because Chu Siqi had been chatting with Wang Huiru, and later, she put on a forbidding expression, Qin Ziang never found an opportunity to talk to her. He could only suggest going for a walk nearby, hoping to get closer later.
Wang Huiru was actually quite nervous. She was genuinely afraid that Chu Siqi would bump into Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu.
She knew her best friend's personality very well—willful and haughty, she needed everyone to cater to her.
If she saw Jiang Qin with Feng Nanshu, she really didn't know what might happen.
However, her worries seemed a bit unnecessary. Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu were not in their line of sight. It was just that Qin Ziang had been trying to approach them, which annoyed Chu Siqi.
Meanwhile, not far from the Chengzhongcheng (City in City) area, on a snack street.
Feng Nanshu held a large-sized Xizhilang popsicle and took a few bites before looking up at Jiang Qin. "Do you like looking at breasts?"
"?????"
"Today, you've looked at mine fifteen... no, sixteen times."
Jiang Qin's mouth twitched a bit. He thought, "You may be naive, but this straightforwardness really catches me off guard." "I'm just appreciating."
Feng Nanshu pointed across the street to a shop, "Jiang Qin, what are adult products?"
"That's something only adults should know about!"
"My birthday is on February 3rd. According to the law, I'm already an adult."
"Is this what you call being an adult? No, you have the awareness of an eight-year-old in this world."
Feng Nanshu staggered a bit, her expression becoming despondent. "You can be really hurtful with your words."
Jiang Qin laughed, "It's okay, summer vacation is still a long way off; you can learn slowly."
