Xia Cha ran out of the classroom angrily.
She saw Huo Heng and the school belle on the steps in front of the teaching building.
The school belle looked innocent and pure. She was wearing a white dress that made her look beautiful.
Huo Heng was carrying a thermos flask in his hand. She didn’t know what he was thinking, but he walked in the opposite direction and the school belle was a few steps away from him.
Xia Cha sighed in her heart.
In this day and age, being handsome meant being popular, not to mention a man with the aura of a rich young master like Huo Heng.
Xia Cha opened her mouth and was about to call Huo Heng when she suddenly saw the school belle’s light figure pounce on Huo Heng’s back.
Xia Cha’s mouth formed an ‘O’ shape.
Just when Xia Cha thought a beauty would fall into Huo Heng’s arms and he would try to save the damsel in distress, he suddenly dodged.
Instead of pouncing on his back, the school belle fell head first onto the steps.
Fortunately, there were only a few steps and the school belle did not fall too badly.
The school belle had never met a man who did not know how to be gentle with women. Not only was she hurt, but she also felt sadder. She stood up and looked at the man with one hand in her pocket and tears in her eyes.
Huo Heng glanced at the pitiful school belle as if he was looking at a retard.
She had the cheek to fall on purpose and blame him for it?
The school belle held her red forehead and ran away after stomping her feet.
When he saw Xia Cha standing not far away, his eyes shot daggers at her.
Xia Cha’s scalp turned numb.
Huo Heng took two steps toward the stairs and seemed to have noticed something. He looked in Xia Cha’s direction.
Their eyes met. Xia Cha turned around, wanting to leave.
Huo Heng rushed forward and blocked her way.
“Let’s talk.”
Under his serious and stubborn gaze, Xia Cha had no choice but to take him out of the building and to the man-made lake.
Xia Cha walked in front while Huo Heng walked behind her.
They remained silent all the way.
There were pavilions by the man-made lake. Xia Cha walked over and sat on the bench.
Huo Heng sat beside her.
He opened the thermos flask and inside was her favorite mushroom porridge.
Xia Cha resisted the temptation of the fresh fragrance and turned her head away. “I’m not eating.”
Huo Heng looked at her tensed side profile and smiled slightly. “In the past two months, I’ve been working hard. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have time to pursue you.”
Hearing Huo Heng’s words, Xia Cha wished she could run back to the classroom and find Xiaofan.
It must be because she could not stand the temptation of food and told him the reason why she did not want to talk to him.
Traitor!
But wait, what did he say just now?
He had been working hard for the past two months just so that he would have an extended leave to woo her?
Xia Cha glanced at him from the corner of her eye. The outline of his face seemed to have really lost some weight!
Xia Cha had planned to ignore him for at least half a month, but now, her heart softened.
Seeing that her expression had eased, Huo Heng handed her the porridge.
So Xia Cha ate her meal in small bites.
Huo Heng looked at her long eyelashes lowered, his eyes filled with adoration.
“Is it delicious?”
“Sure…”
Seeing her arrogant expression, he smirked.
Xia Cha glanced at him, “What are you laughing at?”
“You look cute like this.”
Crazy, how could she be cute like this?
After Xia Cha was full, she handed him the thermos flask. “Don’t think that I will agree to your request.”
“I know.”
He answered quickly.
He had changed compared to before.
He used to be disdainful and impatient when it came to wooing women.
If he was unhappy, he would force himself on her, never caring about others’ feelings.
“I’m going to class.”
“I’ll take you there.”
However, Xia Cha ran away before he could get up.
Huo Heng was speechless.
When Xia Cha arrived at the classroom, she put her hands on Xiaofan’s neck, pretending to pinch her. “Traitor!”
Xiaofan scratched her head in embarrassment. “Well, it’s just that Mr Huo is too good at gaining people’s support. After all, he’s good with people and has a sweet tongue!”
The breakfast was from ‘Royal Palace’ and he had even given them such an expensive shopping card. She would be letting him down if she did not reveal this information.
“What else did you say to him?”
“I just said why you’re ignoring him. I didn’t talk about anything else.”
…
The morning passed.
To Xia Cha’s surprise, Chen Yi had not given up on wooing her.
He had actually confessed to her on the radio in the afternoon.
Hearing the confession over the radio, Xia Cha looked at the students who were cheering around and frowned uncomfortably.
Chen Yi was not stupid. He should have been able to tell that she did not like him.
She had also rejected him politely.
She did not understand why he had caused such a ruckus.
When Xiaofan heard Chen Yi’s confession on the radio, she was furious. “Senior Chen doesn’t look like someone who doesn’t know his place. Why did he do such a daring thing?”
“He’s going to grill Cha Cha! Isn’t he afraid that his reputation would be gone if the entire school finds out?”
If not for the fact that Chen Yi had sent them breakfasts in order to chase Xia Cha, she would have gone to the radio station to look for him now.
After class, Xia Cha and Xiaofan walked out of the teaching building.
At the bottom of the dormitory, she met Chen Yi, who had rushed over. He was carrying a bouquet of beautiful lilies. “Cha Cha, I really like you. I hope you can agree to be my girlfriend.”
“Although I’m not as rich as the man who’s pursuing you these few days, I will definitely work hard to earn money in the future.”
Xia Cha frowned.
Did that mean that she agreed to Huo Heng because he was rich?
“Senior Chen, what are you talking about? Cha Cha and that Mr. Huo have known each other since she was young. What does it have to do with money?”
Chen Yi looked at Xiaofan. “I know. The breakfast I bought is not as expensive as the one he bought. I heard that he even gave you a very expensive shopping card…”
Xia Cha could not stand it anymore and her expression turned serious and cold. “Senior Chen Yi, whether I like someone or not has nothing to do with money. Even if he’s a poor man, I will like him as long as he catches my eye.”
“And you… I thought you had a good personality in the past, but I didn’t expect you to be like this. I’m sorry, even if you become a billionaire, I still won’t like you.”
After Xia Cha finished speaking, she pulled Xiaofan back to the dormitory.
…
When they arrived at the dormitory, Xiaofan was still furious.
“To think that I used to think Senior Chen had a good personality! You really can’t judge a book by its cover! Fortunately, you didn’t like him from the beginning!”
“I’ll return all the money for breakfast tomorrow!”
Xia Cha tossed and turned in bed but could not fall asleep.
She turned on her phone and saw that someone had requested to add her on WeChat. She opened the message.
It was Huo Heng.
Xia Cha accepted his request.
Very soon after, he sent a message. “Are you not asleep?”
Xia Cha hummed.
For a long time, there was no reply.
Xia Cha ignored him and was about to fall asleep when the screen lit up again.
“Come downstairs.”
