Chapter 89 – School is Out (2)
Li Jinyuan took away her backpack with one hand, just like he had done that many times in the past with her previous bunny backpack.
He pursed his lips and tried hard to hide the unpleasantness in his eyes as he said softly, “Huanhuan, you can’t date too early.”
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but chuckle, “The younger brother wants to interfere with the older sister’s affairs?”
“Of course,” said Li Jinyuan quickly.
Zhong Yuhuan turned and gave Li Jinyuan a closer look. His disposition has become more and more elegant. Each movement of his arm or leg exuded his attraction, no doubt a quality that he had gained through his experience from his shows.
Zhong Yuhuan asked, “What about you?”
“Me?” Li Jinyuan licked his lips and said softly, “I will, of course, not date early. I listen to the words of my big sister.” This was the first time he had referred to her as “big sister” since a long time ago. He was already a young man who was much taller than her, but there was still a shred of whininess in his tone.
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t resist smiling. She shook her head. “I didn’t say you can’t date early. If there’s a girl that you have your heart set on, go right ahead. But you must be a responsible boy, don’t be like that Barbarian Nan.”
The Barbarian Nan she was talking about referred to Young Master Nan.
Hearing the two words “Barbarian Nan” immediately reminded Li Jinyuan that Zhong Yuhuan’s betrothal was arranged when she was just a child between her and Barbarian Nan.
Li Jinyuan didn’t look too happy ,but he immediately covered that up. He shook his head and said in a soft voice, “No, I am not going to do that. Not interested.”
For someone of Li Jinyuan’s age, being fond of the opposite gender was quite normal. Hearing his words, Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but asked curiously, “Then what is interesting?”
Li Jinyuan replied without hesitation, “Earning money for Huanhuan to spend. Be a more successful person so I can support Huanhuan in the future.”
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Hearing that certainly made her happy.
It had further proven to her that she had made the right decision bringing them home with her.
Zhong Yuhuan smiled and said, “I already have more than enough money to spend.”
Li Jinyuan smiled and said, “It’s not the same.”
“Eh? How is it not the same?”
Zhong Yuhuan looked at him quizzically, but Li Jinyuan had no intention to elaborate on that. He took one of her fingers in his hand and said, “Too crowded here. I don’t want to get separated.”
What Zhong Yuhuan wanted to say was “we are too old to get separated”, but she didn’t voice that thought after all. He meant well, why ruin something nice?
So, instead, she muttered a “mmm” softly.
When the two of them walked out of the school entrance, it had taken more than 10 minutes already.
It had just dawned on Zhong Yuhuan, “You don’t have work today?”
“Wei-ge arranged a day off for me knowing that you have today off.”
Zhong Yuhuan smiled and said, “That’s wonderful. Let’s go pick up Huo Chengming.”
Li Jinyuan suddenly went silent.
Eh?
Zhong Yuhuan turned her head and looked at him quizzically.
The moment that she turned to look at him was when he said, “Oh, okay.”
Zhong Yuhuan’s phone rang right after that.
She took out her phone and took a look at the caller ID and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Speaking of the devil.” She answered the call and said, “Hello?”
It was Huo Chengming’s voice coming from the other end, “Huanhuan, have you left the school yet?”
“Yeah, right outside the front door right now.”
“Wait there, I will be right over.”
“Huh?” Zhong Yuhuan blinked quizzically.
Huo Chengming did not hang up the phone, neither did he talk anymore.
Zhong Yuhuan looked around the school and finally spotted a black BMW slowly approaching her and stopped right in front of the school.
Li Jinyuan hadn’t said another word except to stare intently at the leaf that fell on top of Zhong Yuhuan’s shoulder.
He wanted to lift his hand and brush it off.
