“Who knows? But I have to say, he’s really handsome. I was amazed the first time I saw him.”
“Yes, he is, but his personality is obviously flawed and his family is poor. Did you notice his shoes? They are discolored from washing. And he’s here on a scholarship.”
“Tsk! Do girls these days only care about looks and nothing else? Rong Si is clearly not normal. Do they think that they’re angels who can save a lost youth?”
ee
Today, Rong Si’s class was held back. When he finally walked to the school gate, it was already fifteen minutes past the regular dismissal time. The courtyard today was not as crowded as it usually was when school just ended. Instinctively, Rong Si turned to look at the spot where Su Jiu usually stood.
No one was there today.
Then, he looked at the cars parked outside the school and did not notice the Bentley that Su Jiu was sitting in.
So, has she not come today?
Rong Si’s heart sank, but some part of him was relieved that she hadn’t come to the school. There was no need for her to care about him now.
Since he hadn’t seen any signs of her, Rong Si felt relieved and walked toward the school gate.
A few girls spotted the tall youth in his neat school uniform, his school bag slung over one shoulder, and that black face mask. They instantly lit up and rushed toward him like fangirls, shouting, “He’s here, he’s here!”
“That’s him! Why does he wear a mask all the time? I can’t see his face at all. It’s such a waste of his good looks. He’s so handsome, yet I can’t see him!”
“That’s right! Isn’t that a waste of God’s gifts? But no matter what, I’m ecstatic to see him!” A round-faced girl with short, curly hair blushed. She was obviously excited. She held the gift that she had prepared and ran toward Rong Si.
The girl came toa stop in front of him and shyly looked up at him. Rong Si’s eyes were as deep as the night sky. When the girl met them, she instantly felt like she was electrified.
Ahh, that gaze is killing me!
Rong Si could not help but stop in his tracks when his path was suddenly blocked. His handsome brows furrowed slightly, showing his displeasure.
The short-haired girl’s face tuned even redder. Since she was too nervous, she could not speak properly. “Hi, S-Senior! I’m from the number two school in the district. I-I’m very happy to see you. Please accept my gift!”
“No need.” Rong Si coldly rejected her and walked around her.
The short-haired girl was instantly hurt. Before she had met him, she didn’t believe the rumors that he was very cold. She had confidently approached him, thinking that he might like girls like her.
However, the boy hadn’t even looked at her and completely ignored her.
This guy really has such a strong personality.
So cool!
The short-haired girl felt even more tempted. She turned around and mustered her courage to say to him, “Senior, I took a long time to find this gift for you. Please accept it!”
“I said there’s no need.” Rong Si’s voice was frosty as if he was slightly displeased.
The short-haired girl stared at his back and bit her lip. Her eyes were red, and she looked hurt.
Seeing that she had been rejected, the other girls who were also planning to give their gifts to Rong Si became nervous. Rong Si probably wouldn’t accept their gifts either. However, since they were already here, they had to give him their gifts!
“Senior, I’m a student from number seven high school. My name is…”
“Senior, Senior, I’m also a student of number seven high school!”
Rong Si had no interest in listening to them. He had no interest in bothering with people who didn’t matter to him.
Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang behind him, “Big Brother Rong Si!”
That voice was sweet. Rong Si suddenly thought of Little Jiu and froze. She called him that too.
He could not help but stop in his tracks. He wanted to turn back to see if it was her. However, his entire body seemed to be frozen. The boy was completely stiff and could not turn back no matter what.
“Big Brother Rong Si! Why did you leave just like that? We especially came to wait for you and even bought you a gift! We… we don’t mean anything else by it. To us, you’re like our idol! Yes, our idol!”
The person who spoke just now was a girl with long hair. She was unwilling to let Rong Si ignore all of them and just leave like that. She couldn’t help but run after him, calling for him.
It wasn’t Little Jiu’s voice. Rong Si’s heart, which had jumped up into his throat, suddenly felt at ease. However, a small part of him felt disappointed. This conflicting feeling of wanting to see Su Jiu but not daring to see her made his heart extremely stifled.
He heavily closed his eyes, tightened his grip on his bag, and continued walking. However, at this moment, another voice suddenly rang behind him!
“Rong Si! Stop right there!”
Rong Si was speechless.
His eyes widened in shock.
If that voice earlier, the words “big brother” reminded him of Little Jiu, then this extremely familiar voice made him certain that it was her!
Is she… right behind me?
She even called my name directly as if she’s angry.
Su Jiu was indeed angry, furious even. When she sat in the car and saw him walk out, she knew that it was the little villain. So what if he hid his features? She still recognized him!
She had not expected him to really come back. Su Jiu did not know why he would be here at this high school. He was even wearing a school uniform; obviously, he was attending this school.
What’s going on? Wasn’t he already in university?!
Could it be that he was expelled from university, returned to study here, and took the entrance exam again?
Also, when had he returned? Was this the reason he has been avoiding my calls and texts?
Su Jiu could not figure it out. Her mind was in a mess. She had many questions she wanted to ask him.
Under the gaze of the surrounding students, amidst the falling leaves in the autumn, a young girl wearing a blue and white school uniform walked toward the youth. The scene was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, straight out of an idol drama.
However, before Su Jiu could get close to him, Rong Si suddenly regained his senses and quickly strode forward. He walked very quickly as if he was running away from something.
Su Jiu did not expect him to leave like this. She immediately chased after him and yelled, “Rong Si, I told you to stop! Didn’t you hear me?!”
She chased him for a short distance. However, when she reached the corner of the street, she realized that the little villain was gone!
Su Jiu’s footsteps slowed down, and she turned her head to look wildly around. However, Rong Si seemed to have vanished into thin air and could not be found at all.
D*mn it… why is the little villain being like this? He didn’t say anything to me and secretly came back to the capital. Now that we finally met again, he still hid from me. What does this mean?
Doesn’t he know that I will get worried if he acts like that?
Relying on her instincts, Su Jiu picked a direction and resolutely ran forward. As she ran, she took out her cell phone and dialed Rong Si’s number.
Unexpectedly, she tripped and tumbled to the ground.. Her knee scraped against the ground!
