DLSRWAR Chapter 75 Didn’t he know to stay away from other people’s wives?

Lu Jiawen was about to return to the capital. Before leaving, he came to No. 2 High School to see Qin Yumian.

When he arrived, Qin Yumian happened to be drawing on the backboard. Since the board was fixed and couldn’t be moved around, she switched to her left hand to draw finer details after working for a while.

Ye Hancheng stood by the desk, holding it steady for her.

At that moment, a classmate came in and called out, “Class Monitor Qin, someone’s looking for you downstairs.”

Without turning her head, Qin Yumian responded, “Got it.”

She tossed the chalk into the box and was about to climb down from the desk when Ye Hancheng naturally extended his hand, as if to catch her.

Qin Yumian: “…”

Dodging his outstretched hands, Qin Yumian stepped onto a chair and landed on the ground in just a couple of moves.

Ye Hancheng, disappointed, withdrew his hand. Noticing Qin Yumian walking out of the classroom, he grabbed the boy who had just called her and asked, “Who’s looking for Class Monitor Qin? A guy or a girl?”

The boy stumbled backward from Ye Hancheng’s tug. “Brother Han, could you stop pulling my braid? If you keep it up, it’ll go bald.”

Ye Hancheng, impatient, said, “Answer my question. And also, why are you, a grown man, keeping a braid?”

With a serious expression, the boy explained, “First of all, I didn’t want to keep the braid—my grandma consulted a fortune-teller, and I have to keep it until I’m eighteen, or my future will be incredibly tough. Secondly, it’s a guy looking for Class Monitor Qin, and he’s quite good-looking.”

A good-looking guy?

Could it be that Lu Jiawen guy again?

Ye Hancheng released the boy’s braid and immediately strode out of the classroom.

…

Qin Yumian descended the stairs and spotted Lu Jiawen standing in the square in front of the school.

He was dressed elegantly in casual attire, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a paper bag. His handsome features caught the attention of passing girls, who kept turning to look at him.

Qin Yumian approached him. “Big Brother Jiawen.”

Upon hearing her voice, Lu Jiawen lifted his head and smiled warmly. “Mianmian, I hope I’m not interrupting your class?”

Qin Yumian shook her head. “No, you’re not. Big Brother Jiawen, what brings you here?”

Lu Jiawen replied, “I’m leaving for the capital tomorrow. I probably won’t be back until winter break. I might not be able to make it to your birthday.”

Qin Yumian smiled softly and obediently. “It’s okay, schoolwork is more important.”

Lu Jiawen handed her the paper bag he was holding. “I have to give you your birthday present early.”

Qin Yumian took it and peeked inside the bag. It was a popular smartphone model on the market.

Lu Jiawen smiled. “It’s your birthday gift, so you can’t refuse it.”

Qin Yumian: “…”

She still hadn’t returned the phone that Ye Hancheng had secretly given her, and now Lu Jiawen was gifting her another one…

But as Lu Jiawen said, it was a birthday gift, and refusing would seem too deliberate.

So Qin Yumian accepted it. “Thank you.”

“I’ve already saved my number in it, and I’ve pre-paid a year’s worth of credit. Call me if you need anything,” Lu Jiawen said gently. “Of course, you can call even if there’s nothing important.”

Qin Yumian responded, “Okay, thank you, Big Brother Jiawen.”

Lu Jiawen asked, “How’s your studying going? Are you tired?”

“Not tired.”

“The study guides I gave you last time—are they helpful? If you have any questions, you can call me.”

Qin Yumian: “…”

She had already passed those study guides on to Ye Hancheng.

“They’re good. If I have questions, I can ask my teachers. You’re busy enough, I don’t want to bother you.”

Lu Jiawen chuckled softly. “You never make me feel bothered.”

Qin Yumian touched her cheek, suddenly unsure of how to respond.

Just then, a clear, youthful voice came from behind.

“Class Monitor Qin, what are you doing here?”

Ye Hancheng strode over, taking just a few steps to close the distance. When he saw Lu Jiawen, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Lu Jiawen kept his smile, but there was something about those smiling eyes that irritated Ye Hancheng.

What was this guy doing with his wife again? Didn’t he know to stay away from other people’s wives?

“Go back to class.” Before Qin Yumian could react, Lu Jiawen patted her on the head. “Don’t avoid calling me just because you think you’ll bother me—I’m actually looking forward to your ‘bothering.’”

With that, Lu Jiawen turned and left.

Ye Hancheng was fuming. “Class Monitor Qin, you actually let him touch your head!”

Qin Yumian: “…”

She sighed, rubbing her forehead. “He did that on his own. I didn’t even have time to react.”

But Ye Hancheng was still upset. “No way, I want to touch it too.”

Qin Yumian: “…”

Why was his competitive streak so strong?

Seeing that he was genuinely a bit angry, her initial refusal softened for some reason. “Fine, you can touch it.”

Ye Hancheng hadn’t expected her to agree and was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he coughed lightly. “Then I’m going to touch it a few more times.”

Qin Yumian raised her eyes and gave him a cool glance. “Don’t push your luck.”

Ye Hancheng: “…”

Just one touch.

He raised his hand, placing it on top of her head. The warm, soft feeling made him unable to resist rubbing it a few more times.

Watching her stand there obediently, letting him touch her head, gave him a feeling like they had returned to their past life.

But then, Qin Yumian’s light voice broke the moment. “Are you petting me like a cat?”

Ye Hancheng lowered his hand and grinned. “What cat could be cuter than you?”

Qin Yumian: “… Class is about to start.”

As they headed back to the classroom, Ye Hancheng noticed the paper bag Qin Yumian was holding and curiously asked, “Class Monitor Qin, what’s in your hand?”

Qin Yumian replied, “It’s a birthday gift from Big Brother Jiawen.”

Ye Hancheng asked, “But your birthday hasn’t arrived yet, right?”

He remembered very clearly that his wife’s birthday was on November 21st, because every year on Qin Yumian’s birthday, Ye Hancheng would invite friends and family to celebrate it with her.

In their home, his wife’s birthday and their wedding anniversary were dates he absolutely couldn’t forget.

“Big Brother Jiawen is going back to the capital, and he might not be able to come back for my birthday, so he gave me the gift in advance,” Qin Yumian explained.

Ye Hancheng, in a jealous tone, asked, “What did he give you?”

“A phone,” she responded.

Ye Hancheng let out a scoff. “You already have a phone, and he gave you another one?”

Qin Yumian glanced at him from the corner of her eye. “When are you going to take back your phone?”

Ye Hancheng lifted his chin, replying confidently, “Anything I give away, I’m not taking back. If you don’t like it, just throw it away. It’s only a few thousand yuan, no big deal.”

The guy really had no concept of money.

They returned to the classroom together, where Qiu Gaotiao had just bought a bag of ice pops with Wu Yu to share with their classmates.

Wu Yu asked, “Brother Han, Class Monitor Qin, what flavor do you want?”

Ye Hancheng answered, “I’ll take the milk flavor. Give Class Monitor Qin the orange flavor.”
