Qiao Nian did not usually bring her books along, and her bag was usually empty.
However, for the past few days, there was always a book in her bag. It was the exercise book she often used.
Fortunately, she did not usually carry any books around, or else she wouldn’t have been able to fit the extra books into her bag.
Qiao Nian looked at her shoulder bag and did not know what to do. Coincidentally, Ye Wangchuan called her at this time. Qiao Nian picked up the phone. With a simple reply, she put it away and asked her classmates, “My friend has come to pick me up. Are you all going home now? Let’s leave together.”
“Let’s go, then!”
Liang Bowen, Shen Qingqing, and her friends started to pick up their bags. The reason why they were still waiting in the classroom was so that they could leave together with her.
They switched off all the lights and closed the door.
School had ended for the day and there were not many students left in school. Despite that, when Qiao Nian appeared, she still became the center of attention.
A number of students took out their cell phones and sneakily took photos after seeing her.
They also lowered their voices and said in a small voice, “Wow, we’re so lucky. Take a look. The one in front is Qiao Nian from Year 3 Class A. She looks more beautiful in person than in the photos. She has such good style.”
“Where?”
“Look, she’s the one in front, the girl in the black hoodie. Do you see her?”
“I only saw her back, I didn’t manage to see her face.”
“She looks really beautiful in person! Even more beautiful than the previous campus belle, Qiao Chen.”
“Are you sure you are not exaggerating?”
“Really.”
The two boys thought they were whispering soft enough. However, they were overheard by Liang Bowen and his friends.
Liang Bowen couldn’t help but crack a joke. “Sister Nian, you’re so popular! Are you sure you don’t want to start a career in the entertainment industry?”
Qiao Nian raised her eyelids. It was ridiculous. She wasn’t worried about the comments around her. Still holding her cell phone, her eyes did not move away from the screen as she said carelessly, “I will not consider it.”
“Being a celebrity is great. Not only do you earn a lot of money, but you will also be popular.” Liang Bowen continued, not giving up.
Chen Yuan walked behind them carrying his schoolbag and listened to their conversation.
He knew Qiao Nian earlier than anyone and was not surprised by all of this.
When he was in junior high, Qiao Nian was already very popular, even though she had average grades and treated others indifferently and coldly. But he also heard from his mother that Qiao Nian often found love letters in her schoolbag.
All this time, his mother had collected at least 90 of them.
That was even more than the campus belle of First High School, Qiao Chen!
If she didn’t even care about the love letters which were delivered to her directly, why would she be bothered by the hushed voices and glances of other people!
Chen Yuan’s mouth was tight. His thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly looked towards Qiao Nian and he asked, “When is your flight?”
Qiao Nian was replying to Wei Lou’s message. After hearing his question, she thought for a moment and replied, “On the third.”
Chen Yuan gripped the strap of his schoolbag tightly, gazed at her, and said, “I will come to send you off.”
Liang Bowen and his friends thought the same way and followed after him. “That’s right, Sister Nian. This time, your trip to Beijing will take about ten to fourteen days. We want to send you off, too!”
Qiao Nian thought for a while. The third was on a Monday. There were lessons on that day. She could already imagine the anger on Shen Hui’s face if everyone skipped class to send her off. So, she declined their kindness. “I’m going with my friends this time. You don’t need to worry about me.”
In the end, after looking at all of their eyes, she helplessly said, “I will send you guys a message when I arrive in Beijing.”
Just as she finished speaking.
Liang Bowen and his friends were just about to ask who was accompanying her when Yu Guang noticed a man waiting at the school gates. When the man saw them, he quickly walked in their direction.
“Qiao Nian.”
