Chapter 40: Fiancee

Ye Qian looked at the seat that Qin Yue pointed to and saw a girl at the prime of her youth beside it, glaring at him, as if he were her enemy. Her face had a condescending and haughty arrogance. Ye Qian thought, how could a pretty girl have such a look of hate as deep as the sea.

Ye Qian helplessly shook his head and walked towards his seat. He didn’t know why Ye Qian felt like he had some sort of relations.h.i.+p with the girl; of course, not an intimate relations.h.i.+p. But Ye Qian had in the past very rarely got angry at young girls, especially pretty young girls. Of course, this excluded girls who were both ugly and noisy.

After taking his seat, Ye Qian smiled mischievously and said, “I’m Ye Qian. We’re going to be cla.s.smate, so let’s get to know each other.”

“Get to know each other? Do you think this is some island nation?” The pretty girl glared at Ye Qian spitefully. “Frankly speaking, uncle, you’re already old, and you still come to school? Aren’t you wasting your time?”

Ye Qian felt himself sweat, am I really that old? Although he had certainly matured, he didn’t qualify as an uncle yet, right? Ye Qian thought about it and found this appellation funny, “Isn’t there a saying ‘You learn as you grow old’. As long as life does not end, learning does not end. Don’t you think so?”

The pretty girl shook her head helplessly and replied, “Uncle, you’re already so old, how can you be so childish? To keep studying as long as one lives; I think water got into your brain.”

Ye Qian laughed, completely not taking the girl’s words seriously, “Right, anyway, I heard there’s a girl named Zhao Ya in your cla.s.s. Who is she?”

The girl tensed up and she looked at Ye Qian and asked, “What are you looking for her for?”

“Oh? It’s actually nothing serious. I just heard that this yatou is unruly and ugly so I just thought that I had better prepare so I can dodge her. So as to avoid offending her, you know?” Ye Qian replied.

The pretty girl glared at Ye Qian fiercely, wanting to scream at him. But cla.s.s was going on so she could not. She could only respond in a lowered voice full of anger, “You’re unruly and ugly! You haven’t seen her yet, how could you possibly know what she’s like.”

Ye Qian looked at her in surprise and asked, “Why are you all riled up. I didn’t say it was you.”

“I… I…” The pretty girl stammered, then replied, “I don’t care. In any case she would not a.s.sociate with you.”

Ye Qian looked at her with some confusion, then said, “Could you possibly be… could you be…”

“Could I be what? What do you want to say?” The pretty girl asked fiercely.

“Oh, nothing, nothing.” Ye Qian hurriedly replied. But what Ye Qian really wanted to ask was, “Are you lesbian?”. He had decided that it was not a good question to ask at the moment. Besides, that was her own business, it did not matter to him. Anyway, in this day and age, wasn’t the freedom to love society’s new forward way of thinking. Other countries even legalised gay marriage. If she was a lesbian, it was not a big deal, and he was definitely not going to make a fuss about it.

“What? What were you going to say?” The pretty girl asked.

“Forget about it. It’s cla.s.s time.” Ye Qian replied.

“No, you have to tell me. You have to!” The pretty girl persisted.
