Chapter 27 Waiting for the Bus

  The fight between Chen Yanqiu and others has finally subsided in everyone's speculation, and Chen Yanqiu can be said to have obtained peace. However, he never expected that the troubles of youth are many, and for several days, Bai Luya was nowhere to be seen in the club. If it is said that Bai Luya is busy, this he can understand, but the problem is that Bai Luya did not even go to school.

  It just so happened that this week, Cen Yanqiu was the class monitor again. Bai Yaya mysteriously and inexplicably didn't come to school, so their teacher, Jin Mingmei, naturally had to have a talk with the class monitor.

  Then, Cen Yanqiu walked into the teacher's office again, but this time he was not nervous at all. He sat straight up in his chair with a very serious expression and listened calmly to the class director explaining Bai Yaya's situation, without knowing which sentence he had heard.

  Actually, the class teacher said something, but it didn't enter his ears at all. He didn't even know what he was thinking about. He always felt that Bai Lianya's world was too rich and colorful, which he couldn't understand. For example, why did Bai Lianya, who was obviously a wealthy young lady, run away from home? What was the story with her twin brother Bai Lianshao? And what about the sudden appearance of her fiancé? The question is, what happened to Bai Lianya's boyfriend Liu Kai, and why didn't he say anything at all?

  There are too many things that Chen Yanqiu cannot understand at his age, or it can be said that the idol-like life is too much for him to integrate into.

  "So, do you understand now?" Class teacher Jin Mingmei closed the book, raised her head, adjusted the thick glasses on the bridge of her nose, and looked at Xun Yanqiu with a profound gaze.

  "Huh?" Cen Yanqiu was actually distracted without realizing it, and the teacher's final words were clearly heard. Looking at the teacher staring straight at him, he estimated that he had to get through this somehow. He smiled slightly and said: "Teacher, I'm a boy, going to a girl's home is always a bit inconvenient, or her family will misunderstand... How about letting Ji Ningning go? They're friends, it's easier to communicate."

  "Hmm?" Jin Mingmei furrowed her brow slightly after hearing this, why hadn't she thought of Ji Ningning? Indeed, students understood each other better. She paused for a moment, then said, "You mean you want Ji Ningning to go with you?"

  "Ah?" Cen Yanqiu only felt a chill on his back, who would want Ji Ningning to accompany him? With her troublemaker around, nothing can be done easily!

  "Alright, I understand. After school, you can go with Ji Ningning! Here's the address. When you're at a classmate's home, be polite and pay attention to etiquette..."

  Cen Yanqiu only felt a headache, after school he still had to go to Bai Lianya's house, what was going on? Ask her why she didn't come to school. Ask her why she also didn't ask for leave.

  "Qian Yanqiu, isn't Bai Lianya a member of your club? She's not coming to school and you don't care?" Jin Mingmei seemed to have noticed Qian Yanqiu's unwilling expression.

  Qian Yanqiu listened to this and also felt that he was right, as the president, it was what he should say. In fact, he wasn't unconcerned, but just didn't know how to show his concern. Bai Yaya had always been a girl who didn't quite fit in, and yet she had managed to join their club, which was no easy feat - there were probably many clubs that envied him for it. But whenever they did things together as a group, Bai Yaya just seemed too quiet.

  "Teacher, I will definitely get to the bottom of this and Bai Liya will be back in school soon!" Cen Yanqiu had a serious look on his face again, but this time it wasn't fake, he had come to a realization and decided to take care of this matter.

  Like this, on the way home from school, Ji Ningning was walking on the right side again. Cen Yanqiu still didn't speak, and with a slight glance at Ji Ningning's figure, he suddenly realized that Ji Ningning was no longer the little girl in junior high school, but rather... how to put it, a slender and elegant beauty? That's right, Ji Ningning was such a breathtaking beauty, only when she wasn't speaking.

  Ji Ning didn't know that Cen Yanqiu was sizing her up with a extremely contemptuous gaze at this time. She looked ahead, then turned her head away, "Ahead..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw Cen Yanqiu also turning his head to look at her, which made her feel somewhat unaccustomed, and she actually blushed and lowered her head. What's wrong with these past few days? She found herself becoming more and more like a weak and delicate little girl.

  "What are you doing?" Cen Yanqiu naturally didn't know what the girl was thinking, furrowed his brow and looked at Ji Ningning with a bewildered expression.

  Ji Ningning still looked down, staring at the pebbles on the ground, and muttered, "Do you see the bus stop sign ahead? Let's go there to wait for the bus. Liya's house is too far away, we have to take a ride to get there."

  "So she usually hitchhikes to school?" How did Xun Yanqiu not notice Bai Ruoyas behavior, never discovering that Bai Ruoya was late and lived far away, wouldn't she have to get up early every day to wait for a ride?

  Ji Ningning paused for a moment, kicked the stone on the ground with one foot, and then raised her head to say: "She has a driver to pick her up, but she lived in a small rental house for a while, so she didn't need to take a ride."

  "I see..." Yun Yan Qiu nodded.

  "Ball..." Ji Ningning thought for a moment and then called out loudly.

  Cen Yanqiu felt that Ji Ningning was particularly strange today, not like her usual self at all. Although he liked this kind of girl, if it were Ji Ningning, he wouldn't be used to it. He turned his head away with a reluctant expression, gave Ji Ningning a white eye, and his tone was also somewhat reluctant, "What's wrong?"

  Ji Ningning took a deep breath, raised her head, and gazed deeply at Cen Yanqiu with her bright, shining eyes. She was determined to get an answer today, no matter what. "Do all you guys like girls who are as beautiful and gentle as Liao Ya?"

  "Ji Ningning, what's wrong with you today? What stimulation did you receive to ask me such a question!" Cen Yanqiu can now openly mock Ji Ningning without any reservations.

  Seeing Qin Yanqiu's sly smile, Ji Ningning slightly lowered her head. Sometimes she really couldn't help but say what was on her mind, yet she couldn't bring herself to speak out loud. There were always too many considerations. In fact, Ji Ningning wasn't the carefree and straightforward girl that everyone thought she was.

  Two people walked up to the bus stop sign, and Ji Ningning walked up to the sign, looking at the road signs.

  Cen Yan Qiu put his hands in his pockets and stood aside, watching the crowd. Suddenly feeling something was off, he turned his head and looked at Ji Ningning, asking softly: "Ji Ningning, you're not... in love or anything, are you?"

  Upon hearing this, Ji Ningning suddenly lifted her head. How should she answer this question to be like her usual self? She secretly sighed and turned her head to coldly gaze at Cen Yanqiu with a look of disdain on her face, her tone as haughty as ever: "Cen Yanqiu, you're too clever, discovering it so quickly!"

  Seeing Ji Ningning revert back to her usual rude self, Cen Yanqiu naturally felt a bit more at ease. However, when she admitted that she had fallen in love, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Was this what it meant for sworn enemies to disband? Now that Ji Ningning was in love, she wouldn't be teasing him as much anymore, so he felt a pang of sadness? That must be it; he just wasn't used to Ji Ningning being in love. He forced a faint smile, but it came out somewhat unnatural. "Heh...Ji Ningning, the person you secretly liked...do they like Bai Yaya?"

  "Maybe..." Ji Ningning said with a smile, but Xun Yanqiu knew she wasn't joking, because Ji Ningning wouldn't make this kind of joke out of nowhere.

  Cen Yan Qiu looked at the distant road again, and didn't know when the bus would come. Fortunately, his class teacher had already called his father and mother to say that he was going to visit a classmate's home today and would return later. Otherwise, if he returned late in the evening, he didn't know how much scolding he would get from his parents.

  "Ji Ningning, not every boy likes Bai Yaya's type of girl. There are many people who like girls like you..." Chi Yanqiu's shoes lightly tapped the stone by the side of the road, his tone somewhat unnatural.

  "Hmph..." Ji Ningning couldn't help but burst out laughing, how did he suddenly become so unnatural again? The two of them really weren't suited to be together in public. Normally, they wouldn't have incidents like this in front of their classmates. She laughed and asked, looking at Chen Yanqiu's profile, "You wouldn't say you like me, would you?"

  "How is that possible!" Cen Yanqiu exclaimed loudly, turning his head to look at Ji Ningning. Seeing her smug expression, he felt annoyed. Who would like someone like her?! He immediately put on a smile, "I like girls like Mo Fei! Sweet and lovely! And she even writes me diaries!"

  Upon hearing this, Ji Ningning was shocked and before she could regain her composure, she heard the sound of the bus stopping.

  "On the bus!" Xun Yanqiu ignored Ji Ningning's astonishment and stepped onto the bus with his long legs.

  Ji Ningning didn't know why, but she couldn't help but smile wryly and also got on the car.
