“What’s wrong, classmate?”
Lin Miao Miao clutched her stomach. All she wanted now was to find some food to appease her growling stomach. Otherwise, she felt she might be the first student to die of hunger.
Luo Chuan glanced at Lin Miao Miao, then held up the skewer in his hand and said,
“If you don’t mind, I have a chicken wing left over.”
Lin Miao Miao’s eyes lit up, but then she quickly waved her hands, remembering something.
“No, no, I can't eat your food.”
“It’s okay, I already ate one.”
Luo Chuan had seen Lin Miao Miao’s eagerness and offered a way out.
“Well... then I won’t be polite,” Lin Miao Miao smiled sheepishly, but her hands didn’t stop, quickly taking the bag containing the chicken wing.
She quickly took a bite of the chicken wing and a look of satisfaction spread across her face.
“This is it! It’s so delicious.”
Feeling revived, Lin Miao Miao turned to Luo Chuan again and said,
“Thank you so much! My name is Lin Miao Miao, I’m in the 12th grade, Literature class. What about you?”
A smile played on Luo Chuan’s lips as he said his name.
“Luo Chuan, from Jiefangbei High School.”
“You’re not from our school?” Lin Miao Miao was surprised.
“Jiefangbei High School, Luo Chuan, that name sounds familiar.”
After taking a bite of the chicken wing, she suddenly remembered something and said, with a look of realization.
“Luo Chuan, aren't you the number 7 who often steals the ball from Qian San Yi in the basketball game? No wonder I think you look familiar.”
Luo Chuan shrugged.
“If there’s no one else, then it should be me.”
“I heard you won in the end. Haozi was so envious. Beating Hoci High School was his goal, but you Jiefangbei High School snatched it away.” Lin Miao Miao grumbled indignantly.
“By the way, Haozi is my friend... .”
Luo Chuan nodded. “I remember him. Jiang Tianhao, your team’s captain, he’s a good basketball player.”
“Sigh, what a pity,” Lin Miao Miao shook her head, not sure what she was pitying.
“Hey, shouldn’t you be here for the math competition? Why are you out here now?”
Luo Chuan shrugged and said he had already finished the exam, but Lin Miao Miao looked at him like she understood everything.
“I’ll tell you, math shouldn’t even exist. My brain explodes every time I take a math test.”
Luo Chuan’s lips twitched. It seemed like Lin Miao Miao had misunderstood something, but he knew she wouldn’t believe his explanation, so he simply remained silent.
After listening to Lin Miao Miao’s complaints, Luo Chuan asked,
“Lin Meow Meow, you’re not taking the exam, why are you still at school?”
Lin Miao Miao pushed her black-framed glasses up her nose and corrected Luo Chuan.
“My name is Lin Miao Miao, the Miao in “妙语连珠” (Eloquent Speech), not Meow Meow. You’re calling me like a cat.”
“As for why I’m still at school, it’s because of this math exam. As a member of the broadcasting station, I have to broadcast the exam times, so I didn’t even eat breakfast.”
“Oh, I see,” Luo Chuan realized. He had almost forgotten that Lin Miao Miao had been the announcer for the broadcasting station.
Speaking of which, Lin Miao Miao glanced at her watch and quickly finished the last bit of her chicken wing, threw the bones in the trash can, and said,
“I have to go. If our station head catches me, there will be no good ending.”
Just as she turned to leave, Lin Miao Miao turned back and waved to Luo Chuan.
“Luo Chuan, thank you for the chicken wing. I’ll treat you to my favorite snacks next time.”
“Goodbye!”
Luo Chuan chuckled and said, “Goodbye, Lin Meow Meow.”
Hearing him call her Meow Meow again, Lin Miao Miao glared at Luo Chuan, then her bouncing ponytail quickly disappeared around the corner.
After Lin Miao Miao left, Luo Chuan spent half an hour walking around most of the area. After receiving a message on QQ, he turned and walked towards the fence.
He looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then climbed over the fence again, even more effortlessly than last time.
Then he turned a corner, and not far from the entrance of Elite High School, Li An Ran was pacing back and forth, clearly waiting for him.
Luo Chuan quietly walked up to her, and before she noticed, he lightly patted her shoulder, scaring her. When she realized it was Luo Chuan, Li An Ran immediately swung her bag and hit Luo Chuan.
“You scared me.”
Luo Chuan laughed and grabbed her hand. Li An Ran naturally didn’t resist.
“How did you get out? I just asked the security guard, and he said no one is allowed in or out.”
“I climbed the fence, duh,” Luo Chuan said casually.
Li An Ran rolled her eyes at Luo Chuan. So it’s okay for the officials to start a fire, but not for the people to light a lamp? But she didn’t say anything. She knew Luo Chuan knew martial arts, real martial arts.
“Where are we going?” Luo Chuan asked.
“Wait for Ma Tian, then we’ll go eat.”
Luo Chuan thought for a moment and said,
“Add one more person.”
Upon learning that the person was Qiao Yingzi, Li An Ran looked at him strangely. My best friend, how do you know her so well?
“What’s with that look?” Luo Chuan glanced at Li An Ran.
“It’s just that I owe her a cup of milk tea. If you don’t want to, then forget it.”
Li An Ran snorted. She knew about the milk tea.
“Don’t think I’m that stingy.”
“You think your boyfriend is a golden man who everyone loves? Flowers bloom wherever he goes.”
“That’s not necessarily true,” Li An Ran thought to herself.
People who don’t know Luo Chuan might only think he’s handsome, but those who really know him will discover that he’s like a treasure chest, you never know what’s hidden beneath his surface.
The more you get to know him, the more attracted you become!
“Hmph, you better get things sorted out with Jiaojiao first.”
Luo Chuan suddenly fell silent. The Zhu Weijiao incident was something he couldn’t shake off forever. But luckily, after a few meetings, An Ran and Jiaojiao’s relationship had improved. At least they weren’t as tense as they were at their first meeting.
Since they had to wait a long time, Luo Chuan and Li An Ran didn’t stand around stupidly at the gate. Instead, they went to a nearby KFC and ordered a set meal. They ate while waiting.
An hour later, the sound of the loudspeaker announced the end of the math competition preliminary round. Students streamed out of the teaching building towards the school gate.
“Qiao Yingzi.”
After the Spring Breeze High School students dispersed, Ma Tian called out to Qiao Yingzi, who was about to leave.
“What’s up? Anything?” Qiao Yingzi stopped.
“Luo Chuan and An Ran asked us to go out for dinner.”
Qiao Yingzi was stunned for a moment, then quickly refused.
“I... I won’t go. What would I do going out to eat with you guys.”
“It was Li An Ran who specifically told me to ask you. She knows you don’t usually carry your phone, so she sent me a message.”
As he spoke, Ma Tian deliberately showed Qiao Yingzi his chat log with Li An Ran.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Yingzi finally nodded. She really didn’t want to go home at this moment.
