I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 64 - 60 Impatient

Chapter 64: Chapter 60 Impatient

Monday evening, Qingran’s text message ultimately wasn’t sent to Xie Ying’an.

Qingran was clever enough to roughly guess what Xie Ying’an was thinking, but she wasn’t particularly interested.

Firstly, she was still young and it wasn’t the time to be thinking about these things.

Secondly, Xie Ying’an was definitely no saint, at least not her saint.

To maintain a friendship with Xie Ying’an in the future, as long as it wasn’t blatantly obvious, she would forever choose to play dumb.

Two days later, Qingran had already forgotten about it. Anyway, sharing a desk with Ruan Ruan wasn’t bad either. Let Xie Ying’an be busy with whatever—he had nothing to do with her.

But on Thursday, it was Xie Ying’an who couldn’t keep calm anymore and sent her a picture.

At six in the evening, Qingran was chatting with Ruan Ruan on her phone.

Ever since the ’dog stealing’ incident was revealed to Ruan Ruan, these past few days she’s made Song Shize’s life quite miserable.

Everyone knew that Ruan Ruan loved gossip and handsome guys. If Song Shize didn’t want others to find out he was forced to be Ruan Ruan’s boyfriend, there was only one way out—to meet Ruan Ruan’s demands.

Ruan Ruan’s demands were simple. On Monday, just before school was about to end, she expressed her desire to see the chest muscles of a boy in Class 7 and asked Song Shize to take a photo for her.

Song Shize quickly sent a voice message full of curses - "Check out your mom’s chest muscles, if you damn want to see someone’s chest muscles, can’t you strip their clothes off yourself! Why bother me?"

Ruan Ruan sneered, and sent Song Shize a screenshot of the ’dog stealing’ in front of Qingran.

Also adding a line: "Cheating boy, see you on the school forum."

Song Shize replied with an ’I admit defeat’ expression and then fell silent.

Ruan Ruan really did open the school forum, and she had edited the text and photo to post after school, when right before she was about to hit send, Song Shize sent a picture.

Ruan Ruan saved the draft and exited the forum. She opened WeChat and looked at the photo sent by Song Shize.

In the photo was the classmate that Ruan Ruan had requested; Song Shize had stripped off the guy’s top, with Ma Qingsheng on one side and Wu Zixian on the other, holding the guy’s arms. Around them, several classmates who got caught on camera looked startled and dumbfounded.

"Pah!" Ruan Ruan held down the photo with her finger and quickly deleted it, "I thought he had a toned chest with all that puffiness, turns out it’s just a bunch of fat."

Qingran’s eyes twitched, "Isn’t what Song Shize did inappropriate?"

Ruan Ruan pouted, linking arms with Qingran and walking towards the classroom door: "Ranran, you probably don’t know about the boy who got stripped and photographed by Song Shize. Relying on his decent looks, he loves to play with girls’ feelings the most. The longest relationship he has ever had was for a month, and the shortest lasted just three days; he’s literally a jerk among jerks."

Indeed, there wasn’t anything big or small in the school that could escape Ruan Ruan’s ears.

Instantly, Qingran lost all sympathy for that jerk.

"But," Ruan Ruan nudged Qingran’s arm with her own: "Why exactly did Brother An take such a long leave?"

There it goes, the gossip addiction kicks in again.

Qingran shrugged: "I don’t know."

Ruan Ruan looked skeptical: "How is that possible? Everybody knows that you would know."

"Why would you say that?" Qingran looked at Ruan Ruan suspiciously.

Ruan Ruan simply laughed it off, "Never mind, if you don’t want to say, just forget it."

Qingran really wanted to show her heart to Ruan Ruan: "I truly don’t know."

"Sure sure sure," Ruan Ruan nodded profusely: "You really don’t know."

Qingran: "..."

Why do you sound so patronizing, as if I actually know but just won’t tell you?

Shortly after Qingran got home, Ruan Ruan bombarded her with messages on WeChat.

Soft Girl: Ranran, I just ran into Senior Ji He on my way back, and he asked for your WeChat. I gave it to him. If you don’t want to add him, just pretend you didn’t see it.

Soft Girl: Sob! I didn’t want to give it to him either, but I was too embarrassed to say no!

Soft Girl: Speaking of which, Ranran, why does Senior Ji He want your WeChat?

Soft Girl: Could it be...

Li Qingran rolled her eyes and replied to Ruan Ruan.

QR: Midterm exams are coming up, please study hard.

Soft Girl: Wailing wailing wailing

Soft Girl: Why remind me? Ranran, you meanie!!!

Fortunately, the world finally quieted down.

Ruan Ruan has always lacked willpower, and she’s actually willing to study if someone keeps her on track.

Just as Li Qingran was about to close WeChat, she received a picture from Xie Ying’an.

She hesitated for a moment but decided to open it. Xie Ying’an had sent her an airline ticket from Liang City back to F City.

Li Qingran couldn’t help but ask him, "Why did you go to Liang City?"

Xie Ying’an must have been holding his phone because he replied quickly: "I went back with my mom to send Sister An and An Xiaoxiao home."

Li Qingran’s pupils shook; the female antagonist hadn’t made her move yet, so why did he send her away?

She felt typing was too slow and sent him a voice message asking why he suddenly sent Sister An back.

Actually, Sister An was not important. What mattered was that woman, An Xiaoxiao, who later darkened overnight in order to be with Xie Ying’an.

Xie Ying’an also sent a voice message back, his tone containing a light laughter: "Sister An’s ex-husband got caught and went to jail. With no one to collect debts, Sister An wanted to go back to her hometown."

Then another message came through that Li Qingran hadn’t touched yet, playing automatically.

"I always feel... keeping An Xiaoxiao at my house gives me a bad premonition."

The youth’s voice had deepened after his voice changed; there was a husky quality to it when he spoke softly, carrying an indescribable charm.

It was as if it could get someone’s ears pregnant.

Li Qingran hastily moved her phone away and sent a voice message wishing him a smooth trip and then turned off her phone to go eat.

After dinner, she raced against the clock to do practice papers and didn’t check her phone again.

Aunt Liu left late today, and while Li Qingran was doing her homework, she was still tidying up the kitchen sanitation.

After taking out the kitchen trash, she turned to collect the living room garbage, chattering non-stop to Li Qingran all the while.

"...I’ve been feeding those cats recently, and I haven’t seen that boy lately; it’s quite strange. He used to go there every day for a while..."

Li Qingran, fiercely focused on her homework, vaguely responded to Aunt Liu, but didn’t really take to heart what she said.

With midterm exams approaching, she had made up her mind that if the results were not satisfactory, she would take tutoring classes during the summer holiday. Anyhow, she had to at least get into her target university—F University.

At the airport.

Xie Ying’an sent two messages and couldn’t wait for Li Qingran’s reply. With boarding imminent, he had no choice but to turn off his phone.

Zhao Yan, who was waiting with her eye mask on, lifted an edge of her mask to glance at her son, noticing his frustration.

Zhao Yan let out a soft chuckle, put her mask back on, and thought to herself that indeed, every Jack has his Jill.

Xie Ying’an was indeed frustrated; he had decided to hold off contacting Li Qingran for at least a week before this, but how many days had it been?

Indeed, when it came to Li Qingran, he was always the first to lose patience.
