Zhu Wei Jiao's words, filled with grievance, were like a bucket of cold water poured over Luo Chuan's head, instantly extinguishing the anger in his heart.
What was this? Eating melon seeds and ending up with a mouthful of bitterness?
“Jiao Jiao, I....”
Before Luo Chuan could finish, Zhu Wei Jiao interrupted directly,
“I saw it all, today you left school with that girl named Li An Ran, are you two dating already?”
After a few seconds of silence, Luo Chuan nodded.
So this was why he didn’t have the heart to go to the gathering, and instead hid in his room and secretly cried.
“I knew it”, Zhu Wei Jiao’s eyes turned red, then she stared at Luo Chuan and asked,
“What am I supposed to do?”
This question stumped Luo Chuan, he didn't know how to answer.
“Are you going to abandon me?”
“Or do you not like me?”
“I don't believe you don’t have any feelings for me.”
Zhu Wei Jiao pressed on, her firm gaze, unwavering like a tremor, made Luo Chuan feel a bit guilty, a sense of betrayal toward her.
Moreover, her questions were all ones that Luo Chuan couldn't easily answer, once he answered, it would be over.
“How far have you gone with Li An Ran, have you kissed?”
“No.”
Finally, a question he could answer, Luo Chuan quickly replied, afraid that Zhu Wei Jiao would ask more difficult questions.
“We only just became a couple today.”
After saying this, Luo Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second his body froze, as a warm touch suddenly appeared on his lips.
Luo Chuan was stunned, he stared at Zhu Wei Jiao who was within arm’s reach, her trembling eyes, rosy cheeks, and clumsy kissing technique all indicated that he had been kissed forcefully.
Feeling the wetness and fragrance on his lips, Luo Chuan’s eyes showed a moment of bewilderment before a flash of ruthlessness crossed them. He did not push Zhu Wei Jiao away, instead he forcefully hugged her back, their bodies pressed tightly together.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Wei Jiao leaned against Luo Chuan, a intoxicating blush on her face. She truly thought she was going to faint (Anyone who thinks otherwise, get lost).
After resting for a few minutes, Zhu Wei Jiao felt that her strength had recovered, and she then reached out to hug Luo Chuan’s face,
“Xiao Chuan, today I saw everything you have, and I forced you to kiss me, so I will be responsible for you.”
Luo Chuan was speechless, shouldn't he be the one saying that? But he didn't want to break the current atmosphere, so he could only nod with a smile.
As for Li An Ran, they tacitly avoided the topic. Zhu Wei Jiao thought that as long as Luo Chuan had her in his heart, she could wait, even for a lifetime.
While Luo Chuan was more ambitious, he wanted to have it all.
If being a high school student wasn't enough, then he would aim for top scores in the college entrance exams, and if that wasn’t enough, then he would become an entertainment tycoon, a national or even global billionaire. He would step by step reach the pinnacle, silencing all dissenting voices and doubts.
This was the first ambition he had since awakening.
Around nine o’clock that night, Zhu Wei Jiao rushed out of Luo Chuan’s room, covering her face as she ran.
While in the room, Luo Chuan looked at his hands, a mix of frustration and relief. He scolded himself, “You can’t control yourself, you can’t control yourself.” At the same time, he felt a sense of relief. He was afraid that if Zhu Wei Jiao stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to resist taking a bite of this juicy piece of meat.
With his heart ablaze and thoughts running wild, Luo Chuan had no choice but to practice Ba Ji Quan in the living room to vent his desires, until the middle of the night. He then took a cold shower before finally crawling into bed.
Similarly, it wasn't just Luo Chuan who couldn't sleep well.
Li An Ran tossed and turned in her bed, unable to sleep as she thought about everything that had happened with Luo Chuan today. She wanted to call him, but thought that he must be exhausted after the competition and driving her, so she suppressed the urge.
As for Zhu Wei Jiao, she was hiding under her covers, touching every inch of skin that Luo Chuan had touched, giggling like a kitten who had stolen cheese.
...
Early the next morning, a phone ring startled Luo Chuan awake. He picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Li An Ran.
Luo Chuan answered the phone with a touch of guilt.
“Hello, An Ran.”
Li An Ran’s voice came from the other end of the line,
“Luo Chuan, are you awake?”
“I am,” Luo Chuan glanced at the clock, it was a little past six o’clock.
“Calling so early, are you missing me?”
Through the phone, Luo Chuan heard a soft “hmm”, just by the sound he could imagine Li An Ran’s shy expression.
“Actually, there’s nothing much, I just wanted to confirm if it’s really true.”
Li An Ran was a little embarrassed, at this hour many people were still asleep, but she really couldn’t stop thinking about it, so she made the call.
Luckily, Luo Chuan was not annoyed by this.
“Of course it’s true,” Luo Chuan smiled,
“If you don’t believe me, I can go to you this afternoon, you can personally confirm it.”
“No need,” Li An Ran rolled her eyes, she knew what the boy was up to.
“My mom took a leave of absence from school today.”
Luo Chuan frowned slightly,
“Did your ankle get worse?”
“It's much better, but just in case, I’m taking a day off to rest.”
Then they started chatting on the phone, until Li An Ran couldn’t help but yawn. Luo Chuan persuaded her to reluctantly hang up the phone.
“Sigh, the heart of a young girl, unfortunately she met a scumbag,” Luo Chuan sighed, then he looked at himself in the mirror,
“Yes, that’s you, pfft, scumbag.”
By the time Luo Chuan had finished washing up, it was already seven o’clock. There was no time to practice Ba Ji Quan, he grabbed his bag and headed out.
He waited at the intersection for a while, and Tu Jun and the others came out one after another.
“Where’s the Mighty Jiao?” Luo Shen Xi yawned and asked.
Luo Chuan glanced at the time, they still had time,
“Let’s wait a bit longer.”
After a while, Zhu Wei Jiao, with her bag slung over her shoulder, sluggish and listless, swayed over.
“Jiao Jiao, what did you do last night, why do you seem more tired than the rest of us,” Tu Jun asked.
Zhu Wei Jiao avoided Luo Chuan’s gaze, and said to Tu Jun in a bad mood,
“None of your business, you went out to eat last night and didn’t bring any back for me…me, are you even a brother.”
Tu Jun was puzzled,
“I brought you barbecue, didn't your mom give it to you? Could it be that she ate it all.”
“Hmph, I didn’t see it anyway”, Zhu Wei Jiao insisted.
When she got home yesterday, she had been hiding in her room, and when her mom called her out, she managed to fool her.
“Xiao Chuan, let’s go.”
Zhu Wei Jiao dared not look at Luo Chuan directly, she casually said a word and then hurried forward.
Luo Chuan smiled, if Zhu Wei Jiao hadn’t occasionally revealed her nervousness, he would have thought everything that happened last night was fake.
“Okay.”
