Chapter 18: Earning Money in the Provincial City! (2/2)

“She is my most important person, past, present, and future.”

His cold words struck like a bolt from the blue.

Liu Ruoxin stood stunned for a moment.

She had a thousand words in her heart.

But when the words reached her lips, she suddenly didn’t know what identity to speak from.

What was her relationship with him?

Once classmates.

Barely friends.

Never lovers…

But she refused to believe this was true, took a deep breath, and continued to speak earnestly.

“Zhao Qingfeng, you are just lying to me, I know, you must be deceiving me!”

“But I don’t hate you for treating me this way, because I hurt you before.”

“We still have a chance, right?”

“I’ll be waiting for you. If you change your mind, come back to the provincial city to find me.”

“My father has the ability to send us abroad for study, isn’t that what you wanted before?”

“I have to go now, goodbye.”

“But don’t forget, time waits for no one…”

After saying this, Liu Ruoxin looked resentfully at Shen Lingyao, then got into her car and quickly left.

She left lightly.

Watching the Santana disappear into the distance, Zhao Qingfeng gritted his teeth in anger.

Shen Lingyao came over, pinching his ear, and asked sourly, “Brother Qingfeng, what did you two talk about? Tell me everything, or I’ll tell Aunt Feng that you’re in a premature relationship!”

Zhao Qingfeng immediately explained, “We didn’t talk much. She wanted to chase me, but I rejected her. You know, I’m so handsome, wherever I go, I’m as cool as the wind. A thousand of her are not worthy of me, but maybe ten of you might just be enough!”

Shen Lingyao’s heart eased a bit.

Her face lit up with joy, pinching him even harder, she said proudly, “A hundred thousand of you are not worthy of me, dream on! And let me tell you, you are not allowed to have any more contact with her. The university entrance exam is coming up, you have to study beside me all the time!”

“Ah!”

Zhao Qingfeng bowed, “Little Feng obeys the princess’s orders.”

After saying that, he tried to get into the car to take Shen Lingyao home.

Shen Lingyao was still a bit angry, bit Zhao Qingfeng’s hand with her little tiger teeth, and pulled him out of the car, “Punishing you for flirting around, you have to run behind me, hurry up and keep up!”

“Ouch…”

Zhao Qingfeng looked at his hand, bitten and bleeding, sore yet blissful.

There was no choice.

He had to bear the consequences of his own actions, trailing behind, his awkward appearance causing Shen Lingyao to burst into bell-like laughter from time to time.

After getting home, Zhao Qingfeng changed his clothes and headed straight for the bus station.

Shen Lingyao went upstairs to her room, feeling somewhat restless.

She opened her diary and wrote.

“May 12th, 2001. I never thought someone would chase after Brother Qingfeng. That girl was pretty. Was she blind?”

“That bad guy, going to the provincial city to make money this weekend, is it true?”

“He’s not going to meet that girl, is he…”

“Hmph, if he dares to do that, I won’t talk to him ever again! ┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”

“Shoot, what about the water park tickets I prepared for him? That was the surprise I prepared, and I wanted to go with him…”

“Hmph!”

“When he comes back, he owes me!”

……………

While Shen Lingyao was writing in her diary.

Zhao Qingfeng had also boarded the night bus to the provincial city.

The next morning.

Zhao Qingfeng, having stayed up all night, woke up bleary-eyed on a bench at the provincial city’s bus station.

He washed his face, had a quick breakfast, and then headed straight to the Technology City near the train station.
