Chapter 677: Youth. Want to Confess

ssessment. 。Shu Tinglan also understood that this trip to Qining on business was Director Xiao's true way of assessing their work performance. 。At the same time, working with Jiajia, the meaning is...Lu Kuo's question was one that even Zhuo Yu An himself didn't have the answer to.

To like someone can be so blind, illogical. Your eyes involuntarily follow her shadow, your heart beats uncontrollably when you see her, and a smile unconsciously appears on your lips when you think of her. Despite this, there was no previous interaction between the two of you.

Perhaps it was at the welcome party, where she stood in a white dress bathed in sunlight, radiating like a beam of light. Or maybe it was that night, the indescribable dream, both shameful and heart-pounding, that changed her forever. From then on, she was different from other girls.

That night, after returning from the amusement park, he had another dream. But this dream was pure and beautiful. A girl in a school uniform kept smiling at him, with bright eyes and white teeth. They walked hand-in-hand to school together, facing the dawn, and went home under the setting sun.

He woke up full of joy, never having been so eager for the morning to come and go to school.

He caught up to her quickly after seeing her again at the bus stop.

Tinglan didn't notice him. She had arrived earlier than usual today, her backpack on and head bowed, slowly making her way up the bus steps in the queue. She wasn't in a good mood. Last night, she had been reprimanded by her mother for both her unsatisfactory exam results and lying about going out to play. She had actually had a pretty good time playing last night, but on her way home, that bear gave her away.

Mom saw her come back carrying a bear and immediately flew into a rage, wanting to throw it away. To keep the bear, she made a military order: she would have to get in the top 10 of her class for the midterm exams. Only then would Mom agree to let her keep the bear for now.

Top 10 in her grade, that meant being first in her class, so as soon as she woke up, all she could think about was how to become the top student.

Zhu Yu was arranged at the end of the line, and after getting on the bus, he stood silently.

She was sitting next to him, he wanted to say hello, but seeing the girl's head hung low and her expression saying "keep away", he didn't see her, so he didn't speak.

Because it was a bit earlier than usual, there weren't many students on the bus. There were even empty seats in the last row, but he didn't go to sit there. Two stops later, a good number of students got on the bus one after another. Among them was a tall boy who walked two steps onto the bus and saw Tinglan sitting there. He ran over with surprise, stood in front of her seat, and called out >>>

"Shū Tíng Lán!"

Listening to her name being called, Tinglan finally looked towards the source of the voice. It was a classmate from her third year of junior high school. She couldn't remember her name for a moment and could only awkwardly smile.

The guy didn't mind, and he pointed to his school uniform: "Tinglan, I also go to Qining High School, in the class next door to yours, Class 5."

Tinglan didn't know what to say, she just felt a little awkward and didn't know how to continue the conversation.

During her middle school years, Tinglan was not only beautiful and academically gifted but also excelled in other areas. That's why she was chosen by her teacher to perform at the welcome assembly.

But she is low-key and doesn't like to show off. She is also not very good at socializing, so she always gives unfamiliar people a feeling of aloofness or arrogance.

Just now, although she was clearly embarrassed, others saw her as proud and aloof. Luckily, the bus arrived at Qining High School soon. She hurriedly stood up to get off when she saw Zhuo Yu'an standing beside her. Seeing him, she thought of the bear that had been caught in front of her mother, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

After getting off the bus, the classmate from junior high school earlier came again.

As they walked side by side, nearing the school campus, the boy seemed to gather his courage and finally spoke.

“Tinglan, I've liked you since middle school. "

Suddenly being confessed to, Tinglan was startled and stopped in her tracks. She looked at the boy a little at a loss, unsure what to do. Although she often received love letters, this was her first time being confessed to face-to-face, leaving her feeling flustered.

And Zhuo Y uan beside him stopped in his tracks, coldly saying: "Let's go, we'll be late."

The boy not only didn't leave, but also blocked Tinglan's way: "Tinglan, it won't take you much time, I have liked you for a long time. It was also for you that I worked hard to get into Qinyin High School. This is a movie ticket for the National Day holiday, I hope you will come then."

He shoved the movie tickets into Tinglan's hand.

Hearing this made Ting Lan recoil as if burned, refusing to accept it.

The panic just now has subsided a bit. Instead, he politely and firmly refused: "Thank you for your liking. But I don't plan on having a boyfriend during my high school years."

If she dared to have a boyfriend in high school, her mom would probably break her legs first.

After speaking, he grabbed his backpack and ran toward school like a beast was chasing him.

Zuo Yu'an watched her running back disappear, his grip on his schoolbag straps tightened. For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel sorry for the boy beside him or to sympathize with him.

He hurried toward the school with his backpack on, his joy and confession unspoken, ending without a trace.

After that, it will be the National Day holiday soon. Lan doesn't have a holiday and has been arranged by her mother to attend cram school, with classes scheduled all day long. She doesn't complain, after all, she didn't do well on the exam herself. She doesn't want to stay at an average level in high school.

Zuo Yu'an originally wanted to go back to Beijing to see his grandfather, but the old man said he was very busy at work during the National Day and wouldn't be home much. And his parents were the same, busier than usual every National Day, so he could only stay in Qining, with only a nanny accompanying him at home.

Lu Kuo rushed back to Beijing the moment he got his vacation, carrying his fluffy dog on his back. He truly treated that fluffy dog as a precious treasure. Actually, his grandfather was even busier during National Day. He couldn't be seen at all throughout the entire holiday. However, with Lu YaoYao at home, the grandfather explicitly ordered him to come back for vacation and accompany his sister. He wouldn't allow his sister to feel lonely during the holidays.

As a result, he returned home on National Day, but there was no sign of Lu Yaoyao. Upon asking the housemaid, he learned that she had gone to a classmate's house for a birthday celebration, which supposedly was her classmate's grandfather's birthday.

He joked, "This birthday is going well, celebrating with the motherland."

Nanny replied, “Indeed.”

Lu Kuo was a little uneasy about a young child being out on their own, so he asked, "What kind of classmate is she Is it safe there Did she say what time she'll be back"

It's her younger sister, Ruan Ruan. She often goes to her house, it's safe. After she passes her birthday, Si will go and pick her up.

Only then was Lu Kuo relieved.

Lu Yao was currently at Ruan Ruan's house celebrating her grandfather's birthday. It was Ruan Ruan who invited her, saying that there were no other people at home and only the two of them would be accompanying her grandfather for his birthday celebration.

Result, the birthday cake hadn't started being cut yet, and Ruanruan's aunt, uncle, and even her brother who had gotten into a fight earlier all arrived. It wasn't just the three of them; her uncle also invited quite a few friends. The small house immediately became crowded with people.

Ruan Ruan and Yao Yao immediately scurried back to her small room, leaving just a sliver of the door open to peek at the living room.

Outside.

Lu Yao yao first saw Ruan Ruan's brother, who was standing defiantly by the window. There seemed to be a wound on his lip, and he kept touching it with his tongue, looking disdainful and indifferent.time to time. His wife would glare at him, and he'd just smile. Back and forth they went, the morning argument forgotten. They even forgot why they had argued in the first place. After all, it was jus...
