"Okay, hurry up."

"Oh no, no rush, go ahead."

As Chen Guochang spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, preparing to leisurely light it.

He had a mocking smile on his face.

It seems he knows everything.

Chen Jianji rolled his eyes and walked towards the school gate with the insulated box in his hand.

...

At this moment, in a corner near the school gate.

Lin Qingxue looked ahead, her grip on the backpack strap tightening slightly.

She didn't know why, even though she had been there so many times before.

At this moment, I felt a strange sense of nervousness.

Lin Qingxue subconsciously took out a purple slider phone from her pocket.

This was the phone Chen Jianji lent her when she first went to tutor.

It's said that when you're out and about, it's safer to have your phone with you in case of any problems.

Lin Qingxue thought it made sense, and since the situation was urgent, she accepted it.

She bought it after receiving her salary.

She swiped her phone, and the screen lit up.

However, the interface showed that there was no information at all.

Lin Qingxue felt inexplicably empty inside.

Seeing this, Liu Yun, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but complain.

"That Li Wenyan is really something. He left get out of class early and even left his phone behind, yet he still said he'd go scout out the place with you."

"Now look what's happened, you have to wait for him."

"He's completely unreliable, unlike Chen..."

Before she could finish speaking...

bang~

A soft sound.

Lin Qingxue closed the purple slider phone in her hand and said calmly.

"It's okay. This just shows that he doesn't play on his phone much and focuses on his studies. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forgotten to take it."

"Alright, go to the cafeteria and get your food first, or there won't be any left later."

Liu Yun stuffed a potato chip into her mouth and mumbled something indistinctly.

"You have no idea. If we go late, the auntie won't be too shrewd and will give us more food."

"Then make sure the other battery in your phone is fully charged, right? Call me if anything happens."

......

The two chatted.

Chen Jianji was watching from a short distance to their side.

I also overheard their conversation.

Oh...

As expected of a top student, even the excuses he makes for others' forgetfulness are impeccable.

Chan Kin-kei couldn't help but recall that in his previous life, there were times when he forgot to take things.

Lin Qingxue would either furrow her brows or wait silently.

Or you could say, "Forget it, you don't need to go, I can go by myself."

After saying that, he left immediately.

But his dissatisfaction was written all over his face.

Scenes from the past replay in my mind.

This strengthened Chen Jianji's resolve to change seats.

Otherwise, these memories would overwhelm him.

Even though a ten-year relationship has been shattered in an instant, he can't immediately detach himself from it; he can only keep his distance.

Chen Jianji looked at the two who were still chatting.

Finally, he couldn't help but shout it out.

"Liu Yun!"

Suddenly someone called my name.

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment.

She looked back and saw crowds of people coming and going around her.

But a figure stood still, gesturing towards him.

He was tall, and his wheat-colored skin shone with vitality in the sunlight.

Wearing a school uniform and sporting a short buzz cut, he looked neat, energetic, and full of youthful vigor.

As he raised and swayed his arm, the muscles in his arm exuded power.

Liu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

But when I saw that face...

Her panicked heart immediately calmed down, and her face gradually fell.

She muttered to herself.

"I thought it was some male god..."

"It's Chan Kin-kei!"

As Liu Yun spoke, she turned her head to look at Lin Qingxue.

"Qingxue, she might be looking for you. Should we go check on her?"

Lin Qingxue also looked over at that moment, but only for a moment before looking away.

He called your name, he was looking for you, not me.

She spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Liu Yun responded helplessly, muttering to herself as she turned and walked away.

"Isn't Chen Jianji always contacting me about your business?"

"Perhaps he wants to apologize for his strange behavior these past two days?"

Lin Qingxue heard her muttering.

Her eyes, which had previously shown no emotion, flickered.

but

She walked over as she spoke.

"What is it?"

Chen Jianji handed over the insulated box he was holding.

"I brought this for you as a token of my appreciation for the help you've given me over the past two years. Most people don't get to drink this kind of chicken soup."

Liu Yun took it and sighed.

"You've said such harsh things. Do you think sending Tang Qingxue will make me forgive you?"

"Seriously, okay, okay, I'll give it a try."

Chen Jianji was somewhat speechless.

"Are you hard of hearing? I was just telling you."

"Okay, okay!"

Liu Yun glanced at Chen Jianji with amusement.

She knew exactly what kind of person he was.

Isn't it just that he's angry one minute, but then he can't bring himself to ask her to be his mediator?

Although it hasn't happened often in the past two years, there have been a few such cases.

It's just that Chen Jianji didn't speak as decisively as he does now.

They actually said unrelated things in front of the whole class.

Seeing her nonchalant expression, Chen Jianji reminded her again.

"Liu Yun, I'm saying it again, this is for you, understand? Don't give it to anyone else!"

"Okay, okay, I said I know!"

Liu Yun waved her hand again and turned to leave.

Boom~~~

In the distance, the sound of a motorcycle starting its engine could be heard.

Chen Jianji looked over and saw that his father, Chen Guochang, was already riding a motorcycle, ready to set off at any moment.

He stopped dawdling.

"Fine, I've already given it to you anyway."

As Chen Jianji spoke, he turned around, jogged to the motorcycle, and jumped onto it.

At this moment, Liu Yun had already walked up to Lin Qingxue.

She raised the insulated box in her hand.

"Hey, Chen Jianji gave this to me just now to apologize to you."

"I had his chicken soup last semester; it was very fragrant and flavorful!"

Lin Qingxue didn't even glance at it, her eyes lowered.

"He just said it's for you."

Liu Yun paused.

"Oh, you heard that?"

She said it indifferently.

"Hey, you forgot?"

"A couple of years ago, you wouldn't accept anything from him. He didn't often offer to give me things like that. Was he just trying to get you to eat them?"

"He's going to give it to you indirectly, only because he knows I'm often with you. Otherwise, why wouldn't he give it to someone else?"

"Alright, I'll take it back to my dorm first. You get it ready as soon as possible, and we'll eat together when you get back."

Lin Qingxue shook her head again.

"You can eat it yourself. I have bread in my bag. I'll go straight to the classroom for evening self-study when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun said no more.

She knew that Lin Qingxue wasn't making excuses; she genuinely had something to do.

"Okay, I'll head back now. Since you're coming back so late, I'll just eat by myself. Otherwise, the soup will get cold and there'll be nowhere to heat it up, and it'll taste fishy."

"Um."

Lin Qingxue greeted them absentmindedly.

Until Liu Yun had walked away.

At that moment, she wasn't thinking about the place where she would be working part-time.

It wasn't the chicken soup in the insulated box either.

It was the test paper she had quickly annotated during the break between classes.

I don't know...

Is there something wrong with things done in such a hurry?

Lin Qingxue lowered her head, swiped her phone, and the screen lit up.

Her fingers paused on the keys for a long time.

Only then did he open the number that displayed "Ayan" and send a text message.

【Ayan, I'm going by myself first.】

I need to come back early; my teacher told me to keep an eye on discipline during evening self-study.
