Chapter 057.1 519

Jing Li sat cross-legged on the chair, sipping a box of papaya milk, and curiously asked, “Ruihua, can boys get pregnant too?”

Li Ruihua’s face stiffened. When Jing Ran said that just now, she felt it was strange, but couldn’t pinpoint why at the time.

It turns out it’s a symptom of pregnancy.

She actually repeated it again, feeling silly.

Li Ruihua shrugged and replied, “Your top student might really be pregnant.”

Jing Li: “…”

The discomfort Jing Li heard from Jing Ran’s symptoms sounded really far-fetched, but she was still quite worried and didn’t want others to notice. She pretended to casually ask, “Is he okay?”

Li Ruihua shrugged, “You’ll know when you see for yourself.”

“Cut it out, it’s none of my business!” Jing Li finished the box of papaya milk, casually tossing it into the indoor plastic trash can.

Seeing her acting so arrogantly, as if it didn’t concern her, Li Ruihua calmly said, “Oh, then don’t ask…”

Jing Li pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved as she watched Li Ruihua turn back to her seat.

Jing Li picked up her phone, opened her contacts, found Jing Ran’s number, and really wanted to ask him about his current situation, but she was currently at odds with him and couldn’t take the initiative to make amends.

His finger slipped accidentally and dialed out, but he quickly canceled the call upon realizing the mistake.

Jing Ran was studying in the dormitory when he heard his phone ring once and then stop. He picked up his phone to check and saw that it was a call from Jing Li, but she hung up. When he tried to call back, a cold voice on the other end said, “The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.”

Feeling disheartened, Jing Ran realized that Jing Li had forgotten about pulling him into her blacklist.

In the morning, Jing Li returned to the classroom early and kept looking down the corridor, not seeing Jing Ran pass by their classroom even when the class bell rang. The Little Prince didn’t come to class; could he really be sick?

Jing Li worried about him absentmindedly all day.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to take the initiative to find him.

According to Jing Ran’s habit, if there were no classes in the afternoon, he would go to the library to study. After the lunch break, Jing Li went to the library to try her luck and see if the Little Prince had come.

Jing Li arrived at the self-study room, and Jing Ran was buried in his studies, looking a bit haggard.

Taking advantage of Jing Ran’s inattention, Jing Li quietly walked to the seat behind the self-study room and sat behind him, watching him. Jing Li hadn’t talked to Jing Ran for several days. Even though Jing Ran sometimes blocked her, she still managed to escape, and gradually, Jing Ran stopped looking for her.

Jing Li didn’t expect that the Little Prince had such little patience. Ignoring him for a few days, he also didn’t look for her. Jing Li sat in the back, wearing earphones and watching TV shows on her phone, occasionally lifting her head to look at the Little Prince.

She didn’t know how many times she had looked up, but the Little Prince had already put his head down on the table and fallen asleep. A junior girl walked past Jing Ran and took out her phone, wanting to take a picture of him sleeping.

Jing Li stood up, walked over, grabbed the hand of the junior girl, and lowered her voice with a hint of severity: “What are you doing?”

“I…” The junior girl recognized Jing Li as the girlfriend of the new school grass Jing Ran. She wanted to secretly take a picture of Jing Ran sleeping face, but she was caught by Jing Ran’s girlfriend, Jing Li. The junior girl broke free from Jing Li’s hand and ran away.

Jing Li stood by the side, looking at the sleeping Jing Ran. How could he sleep so peacefully here? And his phone was just left on the table like this, what if someone stole it?

No sense of security at all!

Jing Li picked up his mobile phone and put it in his pocket. She reached out and touched the Little Prince’s forehead, making sure he wasn’t feverish, and felt much relieved.

Jing Li was about to withdraw her hand when suddenly Jing Ran grabbed her hand and wouldn’t let go.

Looking through Jing Ran’s golden-rimmed glasses, she saw a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. With a serious face, Jing Li asked, “Are you pretending?”

“No, I heard your voice.” Jing Ran’s mouth curved, showing some happiness.”

“You’re not asleep?”

“Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard your voice, so I woke up.”

Jing Li had been trying to pull her hand away, but Jing Ran held on tightly and wouldn’t let go.

Jing Li was a little impatient and said threateningly: “Let go, believe it or not, I will bite you?”
Jing Ran was startled, loosened his grip slightly, then held on tightly again, behaving like a child throwing a tantrum, “I won’t let go, even if you bite me to death!”

The voices of the two people were a bit loud, and the classmates studying nearby all looked at them.

Jing Li didn’t want to attract too much attention, so she stopped arguing with Jing Ran and sat quietly next to him. Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, the classmates began to focus on their studies.

“Lili…” Jing Ran gently touched Jing Li’s hand and spoke softly with an affectionate expression, “I miss you…”

With an innocent and harmless look on his face, Jing Ran gazed at Jing Li tenderly, almost causing her to fall for his tenderness.

Thinking about how Jing Ran didn’t trust her, she felt quite annoyed.

Taking advantage of Jing Ran’s carelessness, Jing Li withdrew her hand and placed both hands behind her back, not allowing Jing Ran to grab her hand. Jing Ran held her slender waist with one hand, and she fell into his embrace.

Feeling embarrassed by the crowd, Jing Li wanted to leave, but Jing Ran held her and wouldn’t let her go.

“Ranran, let go.” Feeling like someone might be watching them, she didn’t dare to raise her head and spoke anxiously and softly, “Let go quickly…”

“No, if I let go, you’ll run away again.” Jing Ran lowered his head and nuzzled her hair, smelling the lingering fragrance of her shampoo. It had been almost a week since he had hugged and kissed his girlfriend.

During the past weekend, Jing Ran went to his grandmother’s house. When Grandma found out that he and Jing Li had quarrelled again, she kicked him out, saying that he didn’t treat Jing Li well, so he shouldn’t come back home…

Jing Li felt like crying without tears. She didn’t like hugging and cuddling in front of so many people, and Jing Ran’s lips nuzzled against her hair. She had to compromise, “Ranran, don’t hug me here. Can we go outside?”

Jing Ran asked, “You won’t run away?””

Jing Li said firmly, “I won’t run away.”

Jing Ran let go of her hand and stopped hugging Jing Li. With one hand, he grabbed her wrist, and with the other, he packed his books into his backpack, zipping it up and shouldering the bag with one strap, afraid that Jing Li might not keep her promise and run away.

Jing Ran knew that Jing Li didn’t like to engage in intimate behavior in front of others, but the school was crowded with people, so he finally led Jing Li to the top floor of the library.
