Chapter 16 Diary Storm

  I'm back...

  Cen Yan Qiu had just changed into slippers and, as usual, reported when entering the door, but today was extremely unusual, and there was no response!

  He only felt a chill behind his back, every time the house was so quiet, it wasn't his dad and mom arguing, but he had done something wrong. He weakly poked out his head, wanting to observe the situation in the hall, his head had just come out when his eyes collided with a pair of cold eyes in the living room, his mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at him coldly. Cen Yanqiu took a deep breath, smiled foolishly and straightened up, saying: "Mom, I'm back..."

  "Come here!" Lin Jingxian, Qin Yanqiu's mother, was not a particularly strict person, but she wasn't overly gentle either. When her son made mistakes, she would never condone them. At this moment, she had an angry face and coldly stared at Qin Yanqiu's slow footsteps as he approached.

  Cen Yanqiu knew that next, he would be subjected to a fierce struggle session. He forced a smile and said: "Mom, I'm on duty today, so I came back a bit late... Dad hasn't come back yet, has he? It shouldn't be past dinner time yet..."

  "Sit down!" Lin Jingxian's tone was extremely severe and left no room for doubt.

  Cen Yan Qiu let out a soft sigh, not knowing what he had done wrong. He gently placed the backpack in his hand on the sofa and sat down properly, facing Lin Jingxian.

  "What is this?" Lin Jingxian said, and then slammed the diary in her hand heavily on the table in front of her, "Bang!" The sound was crisp and clean!

  Cen Yan Qiu looked carefully and saw that it was the pink diary he had brought back from class that day. How did his mom find it? And besides, it wasn't even his, so why was his mom getting angry?

  "How many times have I told you, don't fall in love with someone else's partner in high school! How can you not remember that?" Lin Jingxian's words were also tinged with a hint of helplessness. Her son was growing up and becoming increasingly difficult to manage. Today, while cleaning his room, she had discovered this pink diary under his bed. She didn't care about respecting her child's privacy or not, and without hesitation, she opened the diary. If she hadn't looked, she wouldn't have known, but after taking a look, she was shocked! Inside, it actually...

  "This diary doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my classmate..." Xun Yanqiu thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this matter. It has nothing to do with him, okay? That day he just picked up the diary out of curiosity, but didn't expect to be stimulated by Ji Ningning and in a huff, didn't even flip through it. Later on, he didn't know where he lost it, but today it suddenly appeared again."

  Lin Jingxian's expression remained unchanged, and she angrily asked, "I know it's not you! Who is she? Has she confessed to you? Did you accept?"

  "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!" Xun Yanqiu really didn't understand. He hadn't even flipped through this diary before, how could he possibly understand? Of course, he would never have thought that the "story of unrequited love" he had joked about back then would come true, and what's more, he was the main character in this story!

  Lin Jingxian ignored her son's confusion and said, "You take a look yourself!"

  Canyon was helpless, wasn't it just a diary? Why make such a big fuss? Moreover, this diary didn't even belong to him, what was he afraid of? He also secretly let out a sigh of relief, and slowly picked up the diary, flipping to the first page, where he saw the letters "CYQ", without thinking much, he continued to flip down, but then, the text that jumped out at him finally made him understand why his mom was angry, and also made him fall into an abyss from which he would never recover:

  ...He's still the same as he was in peacetime, flirting with girls in class and acting cool on the basketball court, a typical bad boy...Even so, I like him...I'm not a brave girl, and I can never bring myself to say "Qin Yanqiu, I like you!"

  "Cough...cough..." Xun Yanqiu only felt the sky and earth spinning, the world turning upside down, and everything becoming dark and blurry... What was going on? In his class, someone actually had a crush on him!

  "Who is that girl?" Lin Jingxian was relentless, her hands on her hips, as if she wouldn't rest until she got an answer today.

  Cen Yanqiu only felt wronged, how could he have known whose it was? Looking at the diary's date, it had a history of its own, dating back to middle school! Middle school? There were only three people in his class who had been with him since then: Yang Chengyu, Ji Ningning and Mo Fei. Excluding Yang Chengyu, who was completely normal, that left Ji Ningning and Mo Fei. Looking at Ji Ningning's demeanor, it was impossible for her to have a secret crush on him, while Mo Fei...

  Mo Fei is a short-haired girl with bangs, giving off a completely obedient and well-behaved impression. However, she doesn't like to talk. Throughout the three years of junior high school, they hadn't exchanged many words. Yet he remembers many instances where when he spoke to her, her face would flush slightly red. Could it really be her?

  Qiu Yue was more and more surprised, happy mixed with fear, he never thought that in these fifteen years, there would actually be someone secretly in love with him, what a blissful thing!

  Lin Jingxian saw her son lower his head and not speak, thinking that there was another point of unnamed fire, "No matter who this girl is, she can't talk about love! Tomorrow, go back to school and tell her clearly! Since she gave you the diary, it means she's confessing, you have to remember to reject her tactfully!"

  "Mom, I don't know who it belongs to... I'm the class monitor, and this diary was left in the classroom. A classmate saw it and handed it over to me, but the owner never came to claim it... You also know that I've always been careful not to pry into others' secrets, so of course I didn't flip through this diary... And because no one came to pick it up, I forgot where I put it..."

  "Really?" Lin Jingxian looked at Cen Yanqiu with half-belief and half-doubt, her son had always been honest, so she was also half-reassured.

  Cen Yanqiu nodded and said in a low voice, "It's really like that..."

  "Return this diary to its owner tomorrow, I'll cover for you with your dad for now. From now on, study hard and remember no early romance!" Lin Jingxian pushed the pink diary on the desk towards her son, her tone also softened a bit.

  Cen Yanqiu nodded, with a bewildered expression, saying: "I understand..."

  "Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat. Your father is going out for dinner with clients tonight and won't be back to join us, so let's go ahead and eat!" Lin Jingyan said as she also got up to serve the rice.

  Cen Yanqiu watched as his mother started to get busy again, then picked up the diary on the table, took a deep look at it, and opened the backpack next to him, stuffing the diary into the bag.

  At night, under the dim desk lamp, Qiu Duanshu sat upright, doing the homework assigned by the teacher during the day. The physics problems were not as difficult as that diary, which made him puzzled. He did his homework while thinking about how to return the diary tomorrow.

  Moreover, the most important thing is that he was not sure who the owner of the diary was, it was either Mo Fei or Ji Ningning. However, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for it to be Ji Ningning, she wasn't a timid girl and wouldn't secretly like him. When Ji Ningning spoke to him, her face didn't turn red, she had a loud and clear voice, with an overbearing attitude, such a girl couldn't possibly like him.

  But Mori... Cen Yanqiu really couldn't think of anything special about Mori, she was low-key and always sat quietly in the corner, this kind of girl is most likely to have a secret crush. As he thought about it, Cen Yanqiu suddenly felt that Mori was actually quite cute.

  The pen in his hand paused for a moment, and Cen Yanqiu smiled faintly as he calculated the last question.
