24. Fool, are you a snail?

  Chi Ying rescued Tong Ke'er from the midst of two men's infighting and walked with her in the campus, chatting and laughing.

  "Yu'er, actually that day, Xinxin didn't ask me to go to the Mangga coffee shop to help you, it's just that I happened to hear from Xinxin that you were unwilling to be Feng's fiancée, and I liked Feng, so... Yu'er, will you forgive me?" As they walked, Chi Qing suddenly stopped in her tracks, she looked down at her shoes, fidgeting with her fingers, and asked hesitantly.

  Tong Ke heard Chi Qing's sudden words and was somewhat shocked.

  She had previously suspected that Chi Qing was acting on her own and had ulterior motives, but she hadn't expected her to take the initiative to explain everything and reveal her true feelings, telling her: She liked him.

  Her previous suspicions and that hint of disgust had vanished, Tong Keke burst into a radiant smile, pulling Chi Qing's hand: "Of course I won't blame you! Thanks for coming, it's not too late, right?"

  "Then... are we friends from now on?" Chi Qing cautiously raised her head to observe Tong Ke Yue's expression, as if she still had lingering fears.

  Tong Ke Xuan nodded and responded with a "yes".

  She... has always been ostracized by others and never had any friends.

  Tong Ke was overjoyed, but didn't notice a hint of triumph and ruthlessness flashing across Chi Qing's eyes.

  Tick-tock, tick-tock

  Suddenly, a cool drop landed on Tong Ke Xue's slightly curled eyelashes and slowly slid down along the lashes.

  "Oh no, it's raining." Tong Ke Xue narrowed her eyes, raised her hand to shield the rain, and looked up at the dark clouds that were densely packed in the sky, looking extremely fierce.

  Chi looked around at the young masters and misses being taken away by their umbrella-carrying butlers, and slightly furrowed her brow: "It's also dismissal time, Yue'er, I'll have the driver send you home?"

  As soon as Chi Qing said she would send herself home, Tong Ke's heart tightened and she hastily waved her hand, turning around to run away.

  Sigh...

  How can she be allowed to send herself home? Wouldn't that mean letting her know that she is the young lady of the Tong family? Fortunately, she is clever and quick-witted, otherwise everything would have been exposed...

  What? Wait a minute... That's not right, is it? ... She knew that Tong Ke Xue was the real fiancée of Yu Shang Feng, which means... she knew her true identity!

  Geez! Why didn't she think things through before leaving?!

  "Ahh! Such a big rain, how can I go home?" Tong Ke Xue kicked away the small stone in front of her with a loud "Bang", and immediately a clear and crisp sound came from afar.

  "Damn it! Who smashed the car of Ben Dianxia?" A distant voice came from Yu Shangfang's angry roar, but Tong Keyue seemed to have not heard it, she quickened her pace in the rain and walked towards the Tong family.

  Someone once did a survey that when it rains heavily, walking back home gets you less wet than running back home, and... running is tiring, she's not that stupid!

  "Idiot, it's pouring rain and you're going for a stroll like a snail? Do you want to get a fever or something? Or is your brain already fried?!" Yu Shang Feng had his brother and driver, Ah Cheng, drive over in the direction of where the stone was kicked from, but unexpectedly saw Tong Ke Yue walking slowly in the rain without an umbrella.

  He slowly rolled down the car window, looking at Tong Keke's slender figure, drenched and enchanting in her nearly transparent wet clothes, his breath caught in his throat.
