Chapter 37 - League of Poor Students (14) (2/2)

“No.”

“So what’s the point of asking me that?” Ming Shu said.

Cheng Yan laughed in a low voice. “Lu Meng, I find you more and more interesting.”

“I find you more and more interesting too.” Ming Shu’s tone implied other meanings.

“In what way am I interesting?” Cheng Yan asked, not realizing Ming Shu’s real meaning.

Ming Shu pointed at her head and said, “Don’t give up, maybe you’ll be cured one day.”

“…” What do you mean?

Do you mean I’m sick in the head?

Why am I crazy for liking her?

Cheng Yan was a little frantic. Why was she so stubborn? Because of his followers’ suggestion, he purposely didn’t show up before. But she had no reaction to that, which was different from what his followers told him.

Why was it so hard to pursue a girl?

Ding!

It was a message. Seeing that it came from Ye Miaomiao, she read it.

Mengmeng, I left my bag at school. Can you go back to look for it for me? My student ID card is in it. It will be troublesome if I lose it. I’m busy and can’t go back now. Please.

Ming Shu read that twice, then directly called back to confirm.

The call was answered, but it was noisy on that side and Ming Shu couldn’t hear clearly. “Mengmeng, it’s loud over here. Did you receive my message?”

“Yes.” Ming Shu threw out the plastic ice cream bowl and returned to the school. “Where did you put your bag?”

“Maybe the auditorium. I brought it when I went to rehearse. I can’t remember clearly. Go to the rehearsal room and the auditorium and search.”

“En.”

…

Because tomorrow was the Cultural Festival, there were still some people at school preparing. Ming Shu went to the rehearsal room first and didn’t find Ye Miaomiao’s bag there. Then she went to the auditorium.

But, the follower…

Ming Shu thought for a few seconds. Then she stopped in the corridor of the auditorium and crooked her finger, beckoning Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan walked quickly to her without any suspicion or hesitation. “What can I do for you?”

Ming Shu smiled and pushed him suddenly, surprising Cheng Yan. He fell into a room behind him. Then Ming Shu quickly closed the door.

“…” Why is it so hard to pursue a girl?

Not to mention he’d been hit by her, now he was locked in some room!

You’ll be forever alone!

Cheng Yan groped for the switch and turned on the lights. Maybe it was a room to store stage props, because there were many stage props all in a mess. He looked around and found there was a window through which he could escape.

It wasn’t that easy to restrain him.

Cheng Yan left through the window. He returned to the auditorium through another room and walked to the stage where the performance was going to be held tomorrow.

Before he was nearby, he heard somebody talking.

“Lu Meng, it’s late, why didn’t you go home? What are you doing here?” It was the headmaster’s loud voice.

“Ye Miaomiao lost her bag here. I’m retrieving it for her.”

Even though he couldn’t see her face, he could still hear the smile in her voice.

“All right, you go. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave. Return home as soon as possible!” The headmaster walked toward the place Cheng Yan was. He moved quickly to the corner to hide.

After the headmaster left, Cheng Yan emerged from the dark corner. Meanwhile, Ming Shu stepped out with a schoolbag. When she saw him, a murderous look seemed to appear on her lovely face for a moment.

But when Cheng Yan looked at her more closely, she still had that smiling and innocent expression. She was surrounded by yellow light as if her whole body was radiating warmth.

Cheng Yan furrowed his brow. Had the murderous look been his imagination?
