He doesn’t wait for her to ask why before cradling her head in his big hands. He smiles wanly. “An Chuxia, ah, Chuxia. No matter what, don’t forget your original intention.”
Original intention? She listens to Qilu and proudly says, “Yes, university life is for me. My life has no meaning if I don’t attend university… .”
Han Qilu squints. His eyes dilate as he adjusts to the light. “I’m buying a drink. Wait for me here… .” He pauses before turning to look at her and stating a warning. “In the future, you’re not allowed
to say this broken school was your school. You have nothing to do with it. Even at death, you’ll become a Stein ghost, understand?”
What nerve! An Chuxia raises a shameless smile. “Understood. This ghost understands! Who knows what you’re going to do again?”
He turns around and accidentally bumps into the clinic doctor. The doctor kneels at the scene. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you!” Obviously, Han Qilu has the strength of a gas field. But he didn’t even see the doctor. He walks toward the Fuxing High School gates, opposite from where they entered.
“Doctor, are you alright?” An Chuxia glances at Han Qilu’s back
back before helping the doctor to his feet.
The doctor’s lip quivers as he looks at An Chuxia. With a trembling voice he asks, “Beautiful woman… no, girl, no! Miss, that person a moment ago was… who is he?”
An Chuxia calmly replies, “Han Qilu is a nobody whose arrogance is based on his family’s wealth!” She responds as she helps the doctor sit on the ground.
“Doctor, are you okay?” Chuxia asks as she squats.
On the other side, Qilu isn’t stopped as he enters Fuxing High School’s entrance. He was ready to present his business card in the event someone stops him. However, he didn’t expect this school would
school would actually have a security guard, let alone, a broom for the sanitation engineers to use for sweeping!
A security guard passes him by and nods at him before continuing on his way. This can’t be considered dereliction of duty, but he’s just used to the general alertness in Stein Royal College. The rules are so strict it stipulates outsiders aren’t allowed to enter the premises. However, today is Saturday, and not normal school hours. The guard doesn’t have to block him at all.
He looks around Fuxing High. Although it’s not huge, he finds it difficult to find the school supermarket. Serendipity looks kindly on him when a him when a group of female students pass by. It seems classes have just ended.
“Where can you buy cold drinks in this school?” he asks the group of girls impatiently.
The students aren’t wearing ugly school uniforms. Instead, they look like butterflies. They build the courage to approach the handsome boy.
The leader of the group wears a yellow outfit. Her lashes are coated with cheap mascara. She attempts to look like a lady. She raises a sweet smile before saying, “The canteen is at the teacher’s building. Turn left, then bypass a small flower bed. Then, you’ll see the printing room. The canteen is behind that building.”
