Chapter 34 - 34: A State of Panic
“Hmm, forget it. Want to eat?”
“Okay.”
How could Chu Qing dare to disobey? Looking at Tang Ziyan’s slightly murderous gaze, Chu Qing shrank his neck and nodded.
“F*ck, w-what’s going on? Am I dreaming?!”
Lin Dong rubbed his eyes and looked dazedly at Tang Ziyan, who was having a happy conversation with Chu Qing.
“Don’t you know?” Beside him, Ye Mao looked at Lin Dong as if he was looking at an alien.
“Word has spread in the school that the school hunk is pursuing the school belle, but the former was rejected. Instead, the school belle pursued the school hunk…”
“Don’t tell me the school belle you’re talking about is…”
“It’s Chu Qing.”
Ye Mao shrugged and showed Lin Dong a video. It was a video of Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan playing basketball two days ago!
“T-This is Chu Qing?!”
Lin Dong was shocked. His face trembled.
“… He’s actually so good at basketball. When have we boys ever won against girls on the basketball court?!”
Lin Dong was still in a state of great shock. At this moment, Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan had already gone out.
“I say, why did you suddenly want to have a meal with me?”
Chu Qing asked as he walked. It was not easy for Tang Ziyan to take the initiative to ask someone out. Even when they were still together in his previous life, it was mostly Chu Qing who took the initiative to ask her out. Then, Tang Ziyan would reluctantly agree.
“Yes… I just wanted to have a meal with you. I didn’t mean anything else.”
“Quick, look… those two people ahead are Tang Ziyan and Chu Qing. They seem to be fooling around…”
“Sigh, they’re a match made in heaven. It’s a pity that I wrote more than ten love letters to Chu Qing…”
The two girls whispered behind them, but Chu Qing’s hearing was extremely sharp and he could hear the contents of their conversation.
Sigh, 1 can hear everything you say…
Chu Qing felt a little helpless. Tang Ziyan’s face was neither red nor white when she lied.
Along the way, Tang Ziyan did not speak. The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward.
“Can I hold you?”
Tang Ziyan asked.
“Um…”
Chu Qing felt a little helpless and took the initiative to hold Tang Ziyan’s hand.
From the corner of her eye, Tang Ziyan’s face suddenly turned red, as if she had never held hands with a boy before.
Moreover, he was not used to it!
Shouldn’t I be the one holding his hand?
Tang Ziyan frowned slightly.
Chu Qing smiled and suddenly stopped.
“What… what’s wrong?”
Tang Ziyan’s face was slightly red. Her first time holding hands had made her a little dizzy. At this moment, she was already at a loss and stood in a daze.
“Nothing. I just wanted to see you.”
Chu Qing smiled evilly and pinched Tang Ziyan’s face.
Tang Ziyan was shocked and jumped back like a little rabbit. Then, she realized her abnormality and took over again, wanting to pinch Chu Qing’s face.
“How dare you pinch me?” Tang Ziyan said angrily.
How could Chu Qing let her pinch him? He pulled Tang Ziyan and continued walking. Tang Ziyan seemed to have been looking for an opportunity to take revenge for that pinch just now.
“Where are we going to eat?”
Tang Ziyan asked.
“Well, let’s go to that shop that sells hot and sour noodles.”
Chu Qing still remembered that Tang Ziyan’s favorite food in his previous life was hot and spicy noodles. That shop’s hot and spicy noodles tasted very authentic.
Chu Qing had a deep impression of the small shops around the school. The real delicacies were not those so-called snack streets but hidden in the marketplace, especially around some schools.
“Okay.”
Tang Ziyan was slightly stunned and nodded. She loved to eat hot and sour noodles. Could it be that Chu Qing also liked to eat it?
She secretly looked at Chu Qing’s side profile and shook her head. Chu Qing probably wouldn’t know that she loved this shop.
For some reason, Tang Ziyan suddenly felt a little lovestruck. This was a new experience for her as she had been raised as the heir of her family, with a very structured upbringing and hardly any time to just be a child. But ever since she saw Chu Qing on the field, she had this strange feeling that he was someone very important to her.
Even being with him gave her a sense of security.
I really want to lean on his shoulder!
Tang Ziyan secretly slapped herself and shook her head. Why did she suddenly become so feminine…
“Okay, we’re here.”
Chu Qing walked in and habitually ordered two servings of the hot and sour noodles that the two of them had always eaten before.
“No coriander for one of the bowls and please add more spice and vinegar.”
Chu Qing said carefully.
“Huh? You dislike coriander?”
Tang Ziyan was stunned. She disliked coriander and preferred her hot and sour noodles with more spice and vinegar. Was Chu Qing the same as her?
“No, I know you don’t.”
Chu Qing said calmly as if he wanted to say something very ordinary.
Tang Ziyan blushed.
Could it be that Chu Qing… investigated me?
At the thought that the boy she liked had secretly investigated her, Tang Ziyan could not help but feel excited. It was as if someone had handed her a love letter. It was filled with sweetness..
