Chapter 272: Buying a House Outside School
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Nuo’s scalp went numb from her cla.s.smates’ questions. Just as she was thinking about how to escape, she heard someone call her.
“An Nuo, someone is looking for you outside.”
This sentence made her feel as if she had been pardoned. An Nuo followed this sentence and left the circle formed by her cla.s.smates and walked out of the door.
No matter who was looking for her, An Nuo did not want to stay here any longer.
She wanted to use this as an excuse to escape, but when she walked out of the cla.s.sroom, she saw a figure that she had not seen for a long time.
Qing Chuan? Why was he here?
Qing Chuan was dressed cleanly and simply. His white T-shirt and jeans made him look extremely good. He placed one arm on the window as if he was waiting for someone.
Before An Nuo could figure out why, Qing Chuan’s eyes lit up when he saw An Nuo walk out.
The person he was waiting for had arrived.
“An Nuo!” Qing Chuan raised his hand and greeted her.
He walked quickly to An Nuo. There was a hint of urgency in his footsteps, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
An Nuo blinked and looked at him strangely. “Are you looking for me?”
She asked, but when she saw Qing Chuan nod, she was a little confused.
Ever since she went to the bar with Murong Qiao last time and realized what kind of boy Qing Chuan was, An Nuo had not interacted much with him.
She didn’t know why Qing Chuan was looking for her.
“The exam is approaching. Why don’t we study together?” Qing Chuan invited. “I have some questions.”
1 want to ask you for advice.”
Qing Chuan revealed his signature smile, causing the girls who pa.s.sed by them to turn around frequently.
He was very popular and he knew it very well. Therefore, he knew how to use this to win a girl’s favor.
His tone was restrained and polite, making it impossible for anyone to feel repulsed. He only looked at An Nuo with a pair of clean and clear eyes. He did not know what kind of thoughts were hidden in the depths of her eyes, but it was difficult to tell.
An Nuo frowned slightly. “Sorry, I don’t like to study with others.”
She knew very well what kind of person the boy in front of her was, so she rejected Qing Chuan’s invitation without any hesitation.
The smile on Qing Chuan’s lips froze, as if he did not expect to be rejected so thoroughly by An Nuo.
“I still have something on, so 1’11 take my leave first.” An Nuo bid farewell.
She had to make the best use of her time to study for the next two days. The exams were coming up soon, and An Nuo did not want to fail the exams and delay the company’s matters because of the exams.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Qing Chuan hurriedly followed her.
Before he came, he had specially asked around. An Nuo usually went to the library to revise at this time, and she usually studied alone. Qing Chuan would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
An Nuo walked towards the library, and Qing Chuan followed behind before the two of them found a seat one after another.
The self-study room was originally a place to study in peace, but because of An Nuo and Qing Chuan’s arrival, it caused a small commotion.
“Isn’t this the female lead of Wulin Universe? Is the person beside her Qing Chuan?”
“That’s right. I don’t think it’s wrong. Why are they together? Could it be…” “Speaking of which, wasn’t An Nuo quite interested in Qing Chuan previously? Why does it seem like the situation is reversed?”
The whispers around them were not loud, but it was especially obvious in the self-study room.
An Nuo couldn’t read either. Seeing that Qing Chuan had followed her to the library after being rejected, she was a little annoyed, but she couldn’t say anything.
She couldn’t possibly stop others from studying, right?
Helpless, An Nuo could only get up and leave the self-study room again, planning to find a similar environment outside to study.
Perhaps sensing the trouble he had caused An Nuo, Qing Chuan did not follow her this time.
However, in the next few days, many people saw Qing Chuan appear near An Nuo.
“He was waiting for you outside the cla.s.sroom when you were in cla.s.s. He accompanied you when you went to study and even thoughtfully brought you food…” An Nuo’s roommate carefully recounted Qing Chuan’s actions over the past few days.
The more her roommate spoke, the brighter their eyes became. “Isn’t it obvious that he wants to woo you?”
Qing Chuan’s popularity in school was not low, and many girls liked him. Hence, recently, many people knew about his unusual actions towards An Nuo.
However, An Nuo only felt frustrated and uncomfortable. “Don’t. 1 can’t bear to see him like that.”
She casually replied to her roommate but did not say what she was thinking.
Actually, An Nuo did not need to think carefully to understand the reason why Qing Chuan got close to her. It was nothing more than him trying to free-ride on her popularity.
This time, An Nuo hid one thing from everyone, which was that she didn’t write down her family background on her information. Therefore, unless it was someone very close to her, such as Murong Qiao, no one knew that she was the eldest daughter of the An family.
Now that Qing Chuan was suddenly so enthusiastic about her, An Nuo immediately thought of her popularity online.
“You really don’t like him?” Her roommate felt that it was a pity.
After all, An Nuo had liked Qing Chuan previously. Now that he was interested, she seemed to be disinterested instead.
However, An Nuo’s heart was completely dead towards Qing Chuan and had no intention of dating him at all.
When she liked Qing Chuan previously, she was too embarra.s.sed to talk to him, so she could only hide and look at him secretly. An Nuo couldn’t even count the number of times she liked him.
However, under such circ.u.mstances, Qing Chuan pretended to have not noticed her and did not respond at all. Still, An Nuo did not believe that he was really slow to notice.
At that time, she was so enthusiastic and yet Qing Chuan didn’t think much of it. Now that his att.i.tude suddenly changed as she became popular, An Nuo felt that she had been blind.
Thinking of this, An Nuo snorted. “If 1 didn’t have those thoughts about him in the past, my life would be quite fulfilling now.”
She was a little annoyed and sent Murong Qiao a message.
“I feel that staying in the dormitory is so troublesome. Not only do 1 have to run around every day, but there’s also a curfew. Time is not enough at all.” An Nuo complained.
Previously, she had felt this way. Coupled with Qing Chuan’s “hara.s.sment” these two days, she had to take time out to study. She also had to attend cla.s.ses at the company. An Nuo was so busy she wished she could break herself into two.
Murong Qiao was reviewing doc.u.ments at CG Company at that time. When she saw the message from An Nuo, she picked up her phone and replied.
“Indeed, it’s inconvenient for the dormitory to have a curfew.” She agreed.
Their itinerary was roughly similar as they had to attend both company and school. Thus, Murong Qiao had also thought of living outside of school.
She put down the pen in her hand and couldn’t help but think of Huo Yichen, who was still in the hospital. She wondered how his injuries were recovering.
Murong Qiao had lingering fears about the car accident. The dormitory’s curfew was also especially inconvenient in this matter. It was fine to ask the dormitory manager auntie to open the door after curfew once, but if anything happened late at night again, it might not be like this.
Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before sending a message to An Nuo.
[I’m planning to come out to stay recently. Do you want to come with me?] She asked An Nuo for her opinion.
The benefit of living outside the school was that time was free and unfettered. It could be controlled more reasonably and greatly increased efficiency.
It was not a last-minute decision. Murong Qiao had deliberately asked Jiang Chi to look at the houses near the school and company before An Nuo sent her a message.
An Nuo was overjoyed. [Sure, sure!]
The two of them hit it off on this matter and immediately decided to look at the houses together..
