Li Yueyue hasn’t come to cause any trouble again.
It’s already July, and there were still two months left until Wen Ke’an’s exam.
Wen Qiangguo’s business was also doing well. In order to let Wen Ke’an focus on her studies, Liu Qing quit her job and started helping at setting up the stall at the night market with Wen Qiangguo.
During these days, the couple had saved money and paid off some debts. Lately, there have been fewer relatives and friends who came to their home to ask for money.
In the morning, Wen Ke’an still insists on exercising and taking walks. Her weight had been reduced significantly, and she is now at around 115 pounds. This weight might be acceptable for an ordinary person, but for a dancer, it was still outside the normal range.
When Wen Ke’an returned home, and finished taking a shower, she saw a message on her phone. It was from her best friend, Chu Han.
[ Hey! I’m finally on vacation. Do you have time to hang out? ]
Reading the message on her phone, Wen Ke’an went into a trance. She hadn’t seen Chu Han for a long time.
In her previous life, Chu Han suffered a lot because of a scumbag she liked. Later, she was falsely accused of being a third party. Unable to withstand the immense psychological pressure, she had passed away that same year.
[ I have time. ]
[ When can we meet? ]
A quick response came from the other side.
[ Anytime works for me! ]
***
Wen Ke’an wanted to meet Chu Han as soon as possible. After agreeing on a time and place, she quickly tidied up and headed out to find her.
Their home was not in the city center, and there was still no subway built in recent years. To get to the city center, Wen Ke’an needed to take a bus and travel for more than an hour.
When she arrived at the bus station, Wen Ke’an saw Chu Han standing there while waiting for her. Chu Han was wearing a beautiful yellow floral dress and holding a bouquet of sunflowers in her arms. As soon as she saw Wen Ke’an, Chu Han’s eyes lit up with a smile, and she waved at her.
“An-An!”
As soon as Wen Ke’an got off the bus, Chu Han rushed over to her and tightly embraced her.
“Ah, I finally see you! I missed you so much. This bouquet is for you!”
Wen Ke’an smiled and accepted the flowers, then looked at Chu Han. “Thank you.”
Chu Han now looks much fairer and more beautiful than the last image Wen Ke’an had of her. She still carries the unique aura of a seventeen-year-old girl. The present Chu Han is cheerful, lively, and always smiling. She’s a girl brimming with youthful energy. It’s hard to imagine that in just a few years, this happy girl would turn into someone who smokes, drinks, and becomes melancholic.
“After being good friends for so many years, why are you still being so polite with me?” Chu Han patted Wen Ke’an’s shoulder and said with a smile.
Not far from the bus station was a shopping mall, and it was almost lunchtime. Wen Ke’an planned to spend some time there and grab a bite to eat.
When these two girls get together, they tend to indulge in shopping. Chu Han, especially, is a girl who loves beauty, so she dragged Wen Ke’an into a clothing store.
“An-An, you always wear such plain clothes. It’s a waste of your looks!” Chu Han looked at Wen Ke’an’s casual outfit and couldn’t help but comment with a touch of exasperation.
The two beautiful girls naturally attracted many people’s attention. Wen Ke’an and Chu Han had just entered the store, and soon, more people gathered inside.
Chu Han picked out a pretty little dress for Wen Ke’an and leaned in mysteriously, whispering, “An-An, look, all those people are looking at you.”
“Hmm?”
Wen Ke’an turned her head to take a glance, noticing that most of the onlookers were girls.
“Because you are so beautiful!” Chu Han said proudly.
“You are beautiful too,” Wen Ke’an replied with a smile.
Chu Han’s looks were not stunningly captivating. She had an elegant charm and coupled with her tall and outstanding figure, she used to work as an internet model before.
“Come on, I can’t compete with our school goddess!” Chu Han joked. “Back in those days, all the boys in school liked you so much that they could run several laps around the playground for you!”
“It wasn’t that exaggerated,” Wen Ke’an replied softly.
Wen Ke’an knew that Chu Han was referring to their time in junior high school when they became good friends. However, Chu Han later got admitted to a better high school, while Wen Ke’an couldn’t achieve high scores and ended up in an average one.
Wen Ke’an didn’t take Chu Han’s words to heart. Junior high school students were too young, and most of them had a herd mentality, so they easily followed the preferences of others.
“Speaking of that, back then, so many boys had chased after you, yet you only liked that guy who always seemed indifferent to you, Ji Xingran,” Chu Han sighed and said.
“Ji Xingran?” It had been such a long time that Wen Ke’an couldn’t quite remember what that boy looked like.
“Yeah, that’s the studious and top-ranking student in our class. I remember you used to make snacks for him every day to get his attention,” Chu Han recalled earnestly.
“…”
“Do you still like him now?” Chu Han leaned in curiously and asked.
“No, I don’t like him anymore,” Wen Ke’an answered decisively.
“Really?” Chu Han seemed a bit skeptical. “Then do you have someone else you like now?”
“Yes.”
“Who is it? Tell me!”
“I’ll let you know once I find him,” Wen Ke’an said mysteriously.
***
On the third floor of the shopping mall, a teenager in black clothes, about seventeen or eighteen years old, rushed to another teenager in white clothes with a speed akin to the wind. He seemed excited as he said, “Ran-ge, Ran-ge, look over there, who is that!”
Ji Xingran followed the direction pointed out by the teenager in black clothes and saw two conspicuous girls in the crowd.
“…”
“It’s our school goddess!”
Ji Xingran’s gaze lingered on the girl in the light pink dress on the right for a few seconds before calmly looking away, without saying a word.
“Just now, when I was buying clothes with my girlfriend, I saw the school goddess, and I overheard some juicy news! The school goddess said she no longer likes you, you’re free, bro!”
Ji Xingran paused for two seconds and replied coldly, “It’s none of my business.”
Seeing Ji Xingran’s obvious cold reaction, the teenager smiled and continued, “Hahaha, I was just kidding. I’m sure the school goddess must have said those things out of anger! Remember how she chased after you for so long? She used to bring you food every day and even burned her hand once while making cookies for you. After pursuing you for so long, how could she suddenly stop liking you?”
“…”
Perhaps feeling a bit annoyed, Ji Xingran turned and walked towards the nearby elevator.
“Ran-ge, wait for me!”
***
Wen Ke’an and Chu Han took the elevator to the third floor, and Chu Han’s mouth didn’t stop moving as she kept talking.
“What’s so great about Ji Xingran? He’s just good-looking, smart, but he always had a cold look on his face. I heard he even holds grudges against people who owe him money in the past.”
As Chu Han said all this, the elevator doors opened, and Wen Ke’an, lost in her thoughts, subconsciously stepped out but ended up bumping into someone.
After regaining her balance, Wen Ke’an took a step back and looked up at the person she collided with, only to be surprised as she found herself locking eyes with a pair of cold, icy eyes.
“…”
“…”
