Chapter 123: Come Straight To Me

Chapter 123: Come Straight To Me

A silver veil whitewashed the great outdoors first thing in the morning, as a result of a snowfall last night.

Carrying a backpack, Shen Xi slowed down the pace while crossing the courtyard. She quietly glanced at the wall and walked towards the ladder only to wimp out and stealthily make a U-turn.

She probably should just forget it.

Shen Xi was too ashamed to face Brother.

At the end of the day, she was not thick-skinned enough. What was there to be embarrassed about anyway? What was wrong with worrying about him?

To worry was simply human nature. Even if a single stray cat out of a colony that was fed daily went missing one day, the person would be looking around for it out of concern.

She had just turned around.

Out of the blue.

A paper plane came flying and landed by her feet.

Bending over to pick it up, she noticed that there were words written on it.

The man’s handwriting bore vigorous and fluid strokes that reflected debonairness and poise. ‘This is my phone number. Come straight to me if anything’s the matter.’

Beneath was his phone number.

Shen Xi put away the paper plane with care before twirling around like a jolly idiot. With smiling eyes, she lifted her head to face the wall and shouted, “Good morning, Brother.”

It did not take long before the man’s heart-stopping sexy voice was heard from the next door. “Good morning.”

Clenching onto her pounding heart, Shen Xi turned red in the face and fled off without another word.

Li Yuan pursed his lips upward, admitting the delight through his eyes as he listened to the young lady’s fading but flurried footsteps.

…

There was an English debate competition a week before the exams. It was also the last competition of the semester.

With two weeks counting down to the exams, the final participants for the English debate competition had been decided.

Apart from those of the top class, there were two finalists from the international class – Shen Xi and Pei Xu.

Pei Xu may not do well in his studies but he was pretty good in English. This was especially reflected in oral debate in which Pei Xu rose above the competition, displaying laid-out thoughts and a sharp tongue. He was always one of the debaters representing No. 4 High School.

The debate team gathered on a Saturday afternoon to work together towards teamwork and team spirit, so as to bring their collective talent to full play during the competition.

The top class, under the leadership of Chen Bingbing, decked out the classroom with a red carpet, fresh flowers, and firecrackers to surprise Su Ruowan for taking home the silver in the design competition.

“Here comes Wanwan. Positions, everyone!”

Chen Bingbing waved her hand at everyone in the classroom.

It was a joyous occasion with crackling sounds of firecrackers exploding in the background and colorful confetti dancing in the air.

“Congratulations on winning, Wanwan.”

The group shouted in unison while presenting the flowers to her.

Covering her mouth, Su Ruowan was moved to tears by this scene. She excitedly exclaimed, “Thank you all.”

“Wanwan, you’re the best.”

“Wanwan, you’re our pride.”

“Wanwan, I heard that Mr. Movie Star, Fu Qingye was there to give out an award. You must have seen him!”

The crowd gathered around her, enviously offering their best wishes and compliments.

Su Ruowan let out a gentle smile and nodded. Of course, she met with him. That man was more charming and charismatic than behind the camera.

With a look of adoration, Chen Bingbing frantically pulled her. “Oh my god. Wanwan, I’m so jealous of you. Tell me, what is Fu Qingye the movie star like in person? Did you talk to him?”

“Yes.” Su Ruowan appeared coy. No one would know the truth despite what she said anyway.

With the incessant questioning from her girlfriends swelling Su Ruowan with conceit, she began to talk to them about Fu Qingye.

Su Ruowan tooted her own horn about chatting and sharing a meal with the movie star, adding that Mr. Movie Star was sweet, gentlemanly, and nice to her. She lived her unattainable desire through her words, only leaving out the part about sleeping with him.

Sitting in the back, Shen Xi faintly swept a glance at her before resuming her attention on the mock test papers.

The look given by Shen Xi irritated Su Ruowan, prompting a subtle change in her eyes. Carrying flowers in her hands, Su Ruowan walked to Shen and asked with concern, “Shen Xi, why weren’t you at the awards ceremony yesterday?”
