I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 109 - 105: Encounter

Chapter 109: Chapter 105: Encounter

Qingran and Xie Ying’an were about to turn a corner inside the F University campus when they ran head-on into Song Shize and his strutting entourage.

They faced each other, six pairs of eyes meeting in mutual scrutiny.

Xie Ying’an was the first to snap out of it, frowning at Song Shize, who seemed to be the ringleader: "How come you guys are here?"

Song Shize also recovered from his surprise, dangling his leg in a carefree manner, his attitude arrogant: "What? Only you can come here, and I can’t?"

Such arrogance made one itch to beat him up.

Xie Ying’an clenched his fists and turned away, choosing to ignore him.

Qingran glanced at Ruan Ruan, who looked down, not daring to meet Qingran’s gaze, while Zheng Chunming next to her bowed even lower than Ruan Ruan.

Song Shize arrogantly jerked his chin: "Aren’t you going to get going? Aren’t you in a hurry?"

Xie Ying’an sneered coldly at him, "Whether we are in a hurry or not, what’s it to you?"

Song Shize: "..."

Damn! Did he just throw my own words back at me?

Qingran broke the awkward silence, urging Xie Ying’an: "Let’s go, we’re running late."

Xie Ying’an nodded, walking past Song Shize and his crew.

"Hey hey," Qingran called out to Ruan Ruan while being pulled along by Xie Ying’an, asking loudly: "How are you guys getting back?"

Ruan Ruan’s gaze lingered on her Brother An holding Qingran’s hand, and it took her a moment to respond to Qingran’s voice.

It was Zheng Chunming who answered loudly from the side: "Song... Brother Ze is contacting a car, we’re going to hail a ride back."

Knowing they were there, Qingran naturally couldn’t rest easy letting them ride back by themselves.

She stopped in her tracks and whispered something to Xie Ying’an, who nodded, then Qingran gestured for them to come over.

Song Shize with his arms crossed in front of his chest, snorted disdainfully: "Pssh! You think just because you tell us to come over, we will? Wouldn’t that make us look ridiculous..."

Before he could finish, Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming were already running over, hand in hand, and after a while, even Wu Zixian said, "Brother Ze, shall we go too?"

Song Shize rolled his eyes: "Go to hell! Don’t go over..."

Fuck, Wu Zixian didn’t even wait for him to finish before he also scampered over.

When Song Shize reluctantly made his way over, he heard Qingran saying: "... anyway, those seats will be empty, we’ll talk to the teachers later, and you can return with us. That will at least ensure everyone’s safety."

Song Shize snorted with disdain: "I can find a car myself, why do I need to go back with you guys?"

Already agreeing, Ruan Ruan turned and glared at him: "Can you shut your mouth?!"

Song Shize: "..."

Oh boy! Keeping face in front of so many people, I’m giving you a break.

Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming each took an arm of Qingran’s and the three girls walked ahead, chatting and laughing.

Being squeezed aside, Xie Ying’an: "..."

Suddenly regretting agreeing to Qingran about going back with them.

Song Shize slung his arm over Wu Zixian’s shoulder, standing in an overly casual pose and even went so far as to mock Xie Ying’an: "Oooh, did I interrupt your flirting? Not happy about it?"

Xie Ying’an scoffed: "Did you enjoy your last stay at the hospital? Does your tooth still hurt?"

With that said, he followed the three girls.

Song Shize pointed at himself incredulously: "F*ck, is this guy threatening me again?"

Wu Zixian tugged at the corner of his mouth, advising Song Shize: "Brother Ze, it’s just the two of us here today, let’s not mess with An... Xie Ying’an right now, haven’t you always said that a wise man knows better than to fight against the odds?"

And besides, I alone can’t carry you to the hospital.

Song Shize sneered: "What’s there to be afraid of? There are two of us, and Xie Ying’an is just one person."

Wu Zixian thought to himself: Last time he was alone, he still managed to send you to the hospital, and we couldn’t even hold him back.

Wu Zixian felt exhausted, trying hard to find reasons to keep Song Shize from getting beaten up: "Brother Ze, think about it. If Xie Ying’an is here, then the school bully, Li Qingmo, must also be close by. If a fight breaks out, whose side will Li Qingmo take?"

"Tch!" Song Shize nodded in agreement: "Let’s go, let’s follow them for now. When I get Li Qingmo on our side, we must send Xie Ying’an to the hospital too, to pay him back for last time."

After walking a few steps, Song Shize couldn’t help but say something provoking: "If I can make Li Qingmo my brother-in-law, then we can quickly improve our relationship."

Wu Zixian glanced at Qingran, who was walking ahead: The slender girl’s silhouette alone looked unapproachable just from the back. Who gave this spoiled rich kid the courage to think he could pursue the goddess recognized by the second-year students?

After listening to Ruan Ruan’s flattery, Qingran still calmly asked: "Coming here, whose idea was it exactly?"

Zheng Chunming pretended he heard nothing.

Embarrassed, Ruan Ruan gave a forced smile and chose to dump all the blame on Song Shize who was behind them: "It’s all Song Shize’s doing. I said no to coming, but he insisted on dragging me and Chunming along."

Qingran was somewhat skeptical: "Really?"

Now Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming were in sync, nodding frantically at Qingran.

"Oh," Qingran seemed to believe them, continuing to walk forward with them, then suddenly asked again: "But Song Shize never pays attention to school affairs, how would he know we came here?"

Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming, who had just relaxed, became anxious once more.

"Qingran, maybe Brother Ze, I mean, maybe Song Shize is just more interested in you?" After Zheng Chunming said this, she felt so embarrassed she could almost dig out a three-room flat with her toes.

Qingran gave them a look that was half-smiling, as if to say I know everything, but I don’t feel like exposing you two.

"Forget it," Qingran said: "We should head back quickly, we still have to talk to a few teachers about your ordeal."

"Mhm, mhm." Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming hurriedly nodded.

The three girls sped up their pace.

Xie Ying’an, who was following behind, also maintained a distance of three steps from them.

When they returned and Old Wu saw Ruan Ruan and the others, his expression was as if he’d seen a ghost. It took him a while to ask: "You guys, how come..."

How did you come here?

Song Shize gave a rare reliable answer at this critical moment, pointing at Ruan Ruan he said: "Just out for the May Day holiday, they found out Li Qingran was also here, so they came along to find her."

Old Wu was skeptical.

But what he doubted was not that Song Shize and the others had actually chased them here, but rather that it was not Ruan Ruan who came to find Li Qingran by chance, it was more likely that Song Shize came upon learning that Li Qingran was here.

After all, didn’t everybody in F High, including teachers and students, know about Second Generation Son’s high-profile pursuit of Li Qingran?

Old Wu asked Teacher Sun: "Teacher Sun, do you know if there are any spare seats left on the bus?"

Teacher Sun thought for a while and answered: "Brother Wu, we have 32 students, plus the three of us it’s 35, the bus has a 45-person capacity, and including the driver, there should still be nine seats available."

"That’ll do." Old Wu nodded, then turned to Song Shize and the others, saying: "This time, you’ll return with us. Li Qingran and Xie Ying’an, you two go back and pack your things quickly, it’s only fifteen minutes or so until six o’clock."

Ruan Ruan and Zheng Chunming were overjoyed and kept thanking Old Wu: "Thank you, teacher."

Even Song Shize, under the coercion of Ruan Ruan twisting the muscle on the inside of his arm, had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Old Wu."

The smile on Old Wu’s lips stiffened for a moment.

Great, this was the second time he had heard the address "Old Wu" from a student.
