Chapter 44 – Buckled Knees (3)

On the other side, Yang Sen had thrown in his towel, “Aiya aiya, stop stop stop….. Zhong Yuhuan, stop your brother, quickly!”

Yang Sen rolled off the platform after he finished saying that.

“I think I am going to go back to fencing now,” said Yang Sen.

Young Master Nan’s legs buckled some more, and the chill on the back to his back also intensified.

“Are you done yet?” asked Zhong Yuhuan from under the platform.

Huo Chengming immediately turned and looked over to one side.

Young Master Nan ran off immediately.

The receptionist was baffled, “Hi, would you like to fill out an application?”

“…. No, no application…” said Young Master Nan as he left quickly.

He should probably go back to school.

Yeah, he should be able to go back to school some more, for love.

Didn’t he say that he’d wait 6 – 7 years for Zhong Yuhuan?

Then, he should wait.

What’s another 6 – 7 years anyway?

“Did I see Young Master Nan earlier?” asked Huo Chengming with a frown as he walked up next to Zhong Yuhuan.

“Oh really?” asked Zhong Yuhuan as she looked around.

“He ran off,” said Huo Chengming.

Zhong Yuhuan smiled, “Good for him. Otherwise, we will have to beat him up all over again.”

She genuinely disliked that person.

If that Young Master Nan dare show up in front of her again and hang around next to her, she had no problem beating him up every time.

Huo Chengming tightened his fist a little but didn’t show any signs of it. He asked Zhong Yuhuan, “Are you hungry?”

“A little bit.”

“Then let’s go get dinner.”

“Li Jinyuan is still in class,” said Zhong Yuhuan after she looked at the time.

“We will bring him some takeout.”

Zhong Yuhuan didn’t want to starve herself either, so she nodded, “Okay, then let’s go.”

Huo Chengming said, “Alright, let’s go change out of these uniforms first.”

Zhong Yuhuan nodded, turned around, and walked toward the changing room. Huo Chengming, on the other hand, walked over the second-generation rich kids, and said to them in a low voice, “Huanhuan and I are going to go pick up Li Jinyuan.”

“Okie dokie, you guys go,” said the group of second-generation rich kids.

Huo Chengming went to change after that.

When Zhong Yuhuan came out after she had changed, Huo Chengming was already waiting by the door. He even had Zhong Yuhuan’s backpack in his hand.

Zhong Yuhuan walked up to him and asked, “Aren’t they coming with?”

Huo Chengming lied straight to her face, “I guess they wanted to get some more practice in.”

Zhong Yuhuan nodded and didn’t say anything else.

The two ended up going to dinner together. Finally, they ended up picking a French restaurant. Of course, they wouldn’t be able to pick up any to-go orders for Li Jinyuan.

—

After they had finished dinner, Zhong Yuhuan had to go to a different restaurant and picked up to-go for Li Jinyuan.

The tutoring center that Li Jinyuan was at was not too far from where they were.

The two walked over there and waited for him downstairs. About 10 or so minutes, they spotted Li Jinyuan, and a girl around the same age as him following behind him.

The girl shouted behind him as she was trying to shove some food into his hands, “Wait for me, Li Jinyuan. I want to talk to you …”

Zhong Yuhuan was a bit surprised by what she saw.

She didn’t realize kids her age already had romantic thoughts.

Zhong Yuhuan flashed back to her previous life. From junior high school through college, she had never been in a romantic relationship before. She was never interested in someone that way, even.

Huo Chengming said, “Well, it seems he’s busy. Maybe we should just take off first.”
