Chapter 62 (1/2)

After Shi Yan entered his second college, you could say that he was absolutely satisfied. His buddies were also pleasantly surprised. They immediately liaised their other buddy nearby and asked him to pull some strings to transfer over too. After military training ended, their other buddy managed to successfully join them as well.

When National Day was approaching, it signified that their military training would be ending soon as well. Their college gave them a three-day holiday, but no one planned to return home and instead arranged to meet up somewhere nearby to have fun. They only contacted their other high school schoolmates in the same city; all of them began preparing a week in advance so by the time the weekend rolled around, quite a few of their schoolmates had come over to discuss the specific itinerary for their trip. Shi Yan actually saw Yu Yao, and after they chatted for a bit he realised that she had enrolled in a college just a few stops away from his. Shi Yan quickly asked her what college He Nuo was in, but Yu Yao was surprised when she heard his question.

Shi Yan pressed her for the reason, but Yu Yao’s eyes instantly reddened. Shi Yan got even more anxious and Yu Yao asked him a question in return, “You actually don’t know? What kind of a friend are you? And here I thought you actually treated him as a friend, but looks like…” She shook her head and left without continuing.

“How am I not treating him like my friend? He’s my iron pellet, I’ve always been asking around to find out which college he enrolled in, but everyone always said that they didn’t know. You think only you, his girlfriend, would worry about him?” Shi Yan grabbed Yu Yao in a hurry.

Yu Yao turned around with an even more surprised look on her face, “Girlfriend?” then immediately smiled, “Did he tell you that…I’m his girlfriend?”

“He’s too shy to say something like that.” When Shi Yan thought of his embarra.s.sed face, he felt like laughing.

“Then why would you say that I’m his girlfriend?” Yu Yao asked, puzzled.

“Why are you playing the fool? Didn’t I see it the other day?”

“Ah!” Yu Yao turned her head away out of embarra.s.sment, then only looked back at Shi Yan after awhile, “I was saying goodbye to him. That day I only…told him that I liked him. Also, I had applied for the college that he filled in on his aspirations form, but I wasn’t sure that I could enroll in the same college as him. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see him again, which was why…I…” Yu Yao sighed, “But who knew things would turn out this way now.”

“Turn out this way now? What’s happening now?”

“You really don’t know? He didn’t pa.s.s. I heard some of our cla.s.smates who were in the same examination venue as him say that he would lie on his table without writing his answers down, it seemed like he was sick during those few days.”

Shi Yan was dumbfounded, he was so stunned by this news that he had turned into a fool. He asked, bewildered, “He resumed cla.s.ses?”

“If it were so then that would be great,” Yu Yao choked, “but he didn’t resume cla.s.ses. I’ve already asked my cla.s.smates who resumed cla.s.ses, he’s not around.”

“Then what is he doing?”
