Chapter 2050: Chapter 2050: Reluctant to Return (17)

Walking a distance away, Chi Gui said, ”Don’t take what they said to heart. Those people are just like that.”

They’re just smooth talkers; when it comes to real action, they’re actually quite cowardly.

”Mm.” Chuzheng replied absentmindedly.

Chi Gui looked back at her, saw her head lowered, and followed her gaze, only to realize he was still holding Chuzheng’s wrist.

Chi Gui quickly let go: ”Sorry.”

”What?” Chuzheng looked up, why was the Good Person Card suddenly apologizing?

”I didn’t mean to grab you.”

Chuzheng looked at her wrist and realized: ”Oh, I don’t mind.”

She hadn’t noticed it before; she was thinking about those people just now.

If she hadn’t found Chi Gui earlier, would those people have witnessed the scene?

She should’ve really hit them.

”You go back first,” Chuzheng suddenly said.

”Where are you going?”

”Do you want to go to the restroom?” Chuzheng pointed at the sign without changing her expression.

Chi Gui: ”...”

”Where’s Chuzheng?”

Qin Qiao came up and saw only Chi Gui, looking around curiously.

Chi Gui: ”Restroom.”

”Oh, I’ll go too.” Qin Qiao took two steps and asked, ”Do you guys want to go?”

You Zixi: ”Sis, is it appropriate to invite us to the restroom?”

Qin Qiao: ”What’s inappropriate? Are you planning to go to the women’s restroom with me?”

You Zixi: ”...”

In the end, Qin Qiao went to the restroom alone.

When she came back, she asked Chi Gui strangely, ”Didn’t you say Chuzheng went there? Why didn’t I see her?”

The restroom is only so big, she didn’t even catch a glimpse of Chuzheng.

Chi Gui frowned, a bad suspicion looming in his heart.

”Teacher, where are you going?” Qin Qiao suddenly shouted in one direction.

Two teachers were rushing towards the path and didn’t respond to Qin Qiao at all.

Chi Gui’s heart skipped a beat and he followed them directly.

”Hey?”

”Brother Chi, wait for me!”

”Why are you guys running?” Qin Qiao was confused and dashed after them.

Chi Gui and the others caught up, just in time to see the two teachers furiously scolding some students.

Chuzheng leisurely walked over from the other side.

Seeing them standing there, she politely asked, ”Are you all here to use the restroom?”

Use the restroom?

Who knows why they ran over here?

Oh! They were following Chi Gui?

”Didn’t you say you weren’t going?” Chuzheng looked at Chi Gui: ”Urgent need again?”

Chi Gui: ”...”

Can a girl be more mindful with her words?

”...Mm.” Chi Gui lowered his head and walked towards the restroom, You Zixi sensed something was off and quickly followed.

Jian You stood there, a little at a loss.

Should he follow them, or stay put?

Qin Qiao hadn’t moved... Jian You finally decided to stay.

Qin Qiao had just been there and didn’t want to go again, watching the teacher reprimand those few boys.

These boys were caught red-handed smoking.

The boys found it very strange, how did the teachers suddenly run over? The way they did, it was as if they had predicted the smoking incident!!

Someone must have snitched!

Chuzheng kept her achievements and fame hidden and left with Qin Qiao.

After hiking up and down the mountain, the students were exhausted. Back at the hotel, everyone collapsed in their rooms, not wanting to move.

But some with energy to spare planned to visit the nearby night market.

Among them was—Qin Qiao.

Chuzheng wondered where she found such energy.

Chuzheng kept her door half-open to prevent Qin Qiao from entering: ”I’m not going.”

”Really not going?” Qin Qiao looked pitifully from outside: ”We’re already here, wouldn’t it be a pity not to check it out?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Not a pity!

After pleading for two minutes and seeing Chuzheng unmoved, Qin Qiao didn’t insist and left, turning back every few steps.

Shortly after Qin Qiao left, Chuzheng received a WeChat message from Chi Gui.

Since adding each other two days ago, neither had spoken, and the phrase ’I have accepted your friend request, we can now start chatting’ remained prominently on the screen.

Now below those words, a new line appeared.

[Chi Gui: Are you free?]

[Chuzheng: No.]

Chi Gui’s side remained quiet for over a minute.

[Chi Gui: Want to go down for some food?]

After sending this message, Chi Gui tossed the phone aside and exhaled the breath he had been holding.

Buzz—

Chi Gui stared at the phone screen.

[Chuzheng: Not hungry.]

Chi Gui: ”...” Alright then, if you’re not coming, I’ll find another chance tomorrow.

Chi Gui pulled a comic from the bag beside him to read.

About three minutes later, his phone vibrated.

He thought it was You Zixi up to something again and slowly reached for his phone.

[Chuzheng: I’ll go.]

Chi Gui looked carefully at the name and profile picture, making sure he hadn’t entered the wrong chat.

Didn’t she just say she wasn’t hungry?

Why was she going now?

Are girls really this hard to figure out?

[Chi Gui: I’ll wait for you in the lobby.]

[Chuzheng: Mm.]

When Chi Gui arrived at the lobby, Chuzheng was already there. He walked over quickly: ”That fast?”

You Zixi once said when a girl says she’ll be quick, she might still be putting on makeup, says she’s on her way, might still be at home, says she’s about to arrive, means she’s just getting in the car...

”Going down an elevator takes long?” Chuzheng seemed puzzled.

Chi Gui: ”...”

”Let’s go.” Chi Gui was the first to head outside.

The hotel was well-located, with many eateries nearby and small stalls selling all kinds of knick-knacks.

Chi Gui didn’t wander aimlessly and took Chuzheng directly to a shop.

The place was bustling, fully seated, but Chi Gui, with his good looks, managed to get the owner to make room for a nice spot.

”What do you want to eat?” Chi Gui handed the menu to Chuzheng.

Chuzheng casually ordered two dishes and handed it back to Chi Gui, who added two more.

”You didn’t just call me down to eat, did you?”

Chi Gui raised an eyebrow slightly: ”How do you know that?”

Chuzheng: ”Just a guess.”

Based on Chi Gui’s previous behavior, he clearly kept a certain distance.

How could he actively invite her to a meal?

”Oh...” Chi Gui was thinking about how to bring it up, but since Chuzheng mentioned it, he followed up: ”There is indeed something.”

Chuzheng gestured for him to continue.

”About what happened on the mountain today, I hope you can keep it a secret.”

Chuzheng understood: ”You’re afraid of snakes?”

”...” Chi Gui smiled. Can we not mention this? Can’t we have a proper conversation!

”Why should I keep it a secret for you?” Chuzheng leaned back slightly, her pose quite relaxed: ”You’re not anyone to me.”

”What will it take for you to keep my secret?”

”...” Something that socialism doesn’t allow to be described. ”When I call you, you must show up.”

It’s a bit difficult to achieve in one step, let’s take it slow.

Chi Gui: ”Student Hang, don’t you think this demand is a bit too much?”

Chuzheng ’oh’d, offering an even more outrageous one: ”Then you become my boyfriend, or I can be your girlfriend.”

Chi Gui: ”...”

Choose A.
