After leaving the office and arriving at the classroom, she saw a boy sitting in her seat, smiling and talking to Han Shilan.
------------
Chapter 38 Today...no one came to pick me up.
This boy is Hong Hongshuang. He is also Han Shilan's suitor in the class, but his family background is not very clear. He is probably a rich second generation.
Seeing him sitting in his seat, talking incessantly to Han Shilan, Yang Feng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased. So, without any hesitation, he walked over and said:
“Hong Hongshuang, right? I’ll give you three seconds to get out of your seat.”
Hearing the sound, Han Shilan and Hong Hongshuang both turned around.
Seeing that it was Yang Feng, Hong Hongshuang became a little intimidated. After all, he had tried to teach him a lesson last time, but ended up being taught a lesson himself. So he stood aside. Since they were at school, he didn't dare to do anything reckless. He then mocked, "Shilan, why did you choose to sit next to this bad student? Won't that easily lower your grades?"
"Get lost." Yang Feng kicked Hong Hongshuang to the ground. There was no reason why; he just wanted to hit him.
"Ouch—" Hong Hongshuang fell to the ground with a thud, his face turning from yellow to ashen, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He got up and slunk away.
Han Shilan frowned when she saw that Yang Feng was being violent. She didn't like people who would fight randomly, so she said, "Yang Feng, why are you hitting people like that? He just sat in your seat for a moment."
"Hmm?" Yang Feng looked at Han Shilan, his brows still furrowed, somewhat angry, and asked, "Do you care about him a lot?"
"Huh?!" Han Shilan was taken aback and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, no, I hate him too much. I only said that because I saw you hitting people randomly. His family is not ordinary. I was afraid that you would get into trouble with him."
Yang Feng's expression softened slightly. He hadn't realized how much he cared about her thoughts, so he sat down on the stool and picked up a book from the table to read.
Seeing Yang Feng sitting silently in his seat, Han Shilan assumed he was angry. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and said, "Yang Feng, don't misunderstand. I have absolutely no relationship with Hong."
"Yes, I know," Yang Feng replied casually, continuing to look at the textbook in his hand. He was quite surprised; he hadn't expected that he could memorize all the ancient poems just by reading them silently twice. It was truly amazing.
Han Shilan already thought he was sulking because he was jealous of her, and she felt a little happy.
Time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to leave school. Yang Feng tidied up his belongings on the table, without carrying his schoolbag, stood up, and looked up at the dusk gradually descending outside. It must be getting late.
It's time to start working at a coffee shop.
Han Shilan tidied up the textbooks on the table, came to Yang Feng's side, and walked together toward the school gate.
Amidst the bustling crowd at the school gate, Yang Feng was about to say goodbye to Han Shilan when he heard her tug at her sleeve and whisper:
"Yang Feng, my family is very busy today, and no one is coming to pick me up. My house is also a bit far away... um..."
"You need someone to pick you up and drop you off? How old are you?" Yang Feng blurted out.
This one sentence left the beautiful school beauty speechless; it was simply too blunt.
"As the system spirit, I can't stand it anymore. Yang Feng, you old straight man, go find a tofu block and die!"
Suddenly, a lukewarm voice appeared in the mind of the little star girl in the system space.
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng was immediately taken aback. That's right, the girl's words were a veiled message asking him to take her home. He was supposed to be a detective, yet he hadn't noticed it. How incredibly embarrassing!
He then cleared his throat and said, "Um, I'll take you home, but... how far is your home?"
I should ask first, otherwise it will be troublesome if I miss my work at the coffee shop. School ends at 5:30, so I have half an hour left.
"Hmm...it's not too far, it's on Jingqu Fourth Road, near Qingxiu Residential Area."
Han Shilan tapped her two fair little fingers together softly.
"Huh?" Yang Feng was puzzled. How could it be so far?! It must be at least ten kilometers away.
"Hmph, you're not happy about it?" Han Shilan stomped her foot and looked at Yang Feng.
"Alright, alright, let's go." Yang Feng nodded and said.
Afterwards, Yang Feng and Han Shilan walked side by side toward the bus stop. Behind them was a beautiful and alluring girl, pouting slightly, her eyes filled with a mysterious light, looking at the two of them. This girl was, of course, Xia Yumo.
She stood gracefully at the school gate, originally intending to ask Yang Feng to go home with her, but unexpectedly, she was the one who made a move first. Her somewhat girlish appearance attracted the attention of many male students around her, and some even tried to strike up a conversation, only to be coldly rejected.
At this moment, Yang Feng and Han Shilan had already boarded the bus and were sitting in the back seats. Naturally, they were sitting together. Han Shilan was sitting inside, and she didn't dare to look at Yang Feng, probably because she was shy.
Seeing Han Shilan's somewhat nervous expression, Yang Feng smiled faintly and then said, "My dear classmate, how about I tell you an interesting story to calm your nerves?"
"What are you trying to calm down? Really." Han Shilan's expression softened a bit, she rolled her eyes at Yang Feng, and said coquettishly, "Go ahead and tell me, if you don't like it, I'm going to give you a bad review."
"Um."
Yang Feng smiled faintly, remained silent for a few seconds, recalled a short story he had seen online a few days ago, and then slowly began to speak:
"In one class, three boys liked one girl, who was the school beauty, very pretty. Two of the boys were rich kids. When the first boy confessed his feelings, the girl told him to throw away his most important thing. So he threw away his Casio watch, but the girl rejected him outright. Then the second boy..."
"Stop, stop, stop... I've already seen this little story online, bad review, bad review."
Han Shilan shook her little head and quickly said.
"Uh..." Yang Feng was speechless for a long time, as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. He thought that a top student like Han Shilan wouldn't see these little stories online.
Let me tell you one.
Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become a little awkward, Han Shilan spoke up:
"A girl fell for her male deskmate. She told him, 'Come to the library with me after school this afternoon... I'll tutor you.' But the boy just glanced at her indifferently and then went back to sleep on his desk. When school ended, the girl went to the library first to use the restroom. While waiting, she fell asleep. When she woke up, she was terrified to find everything dark around her. She realized that the boy hadn't come at all..."
Hearing this, Yang Feng trembled slightly. This was talking about his past. That's right, in his senior year of high school, last semester, Han Shilan had indeed asked him to go to the library to tutor him, but he had to work part-time and ignored her.
Is she talking about herself?!
