Chapter 60 - The Glance That Took Five Hundred Years (2/2)

Chen Fan turned around and started off.

“Chen Fan?

“Come back, you!”

Jiang Churan shouted at Chen Fan. Seeing Chen Fan had outright ignored her, she stomped the ground in frustration.

She looked at the key and then cursed.

“Are you still trying to fool me, loser?”

However, she paused with the key in her hand for a while, hesitating.

Reason told her that Chen Fan was just bluffing. However, she heard another voice from deep down, telling her to try to use the key.

“I guess I could go up there and see for myself.”

However, after much contemplation, Jiang Churan gave up with a sigh; she put away the key and started down the mountain.

There were no talking frogs in the real world, and neither was she a princess.

Magic kisses belong only in fairy tales, and in the real world, there was only one kind of magic: hard work. So far, she didn’t even see a tad bit of effort from Chen Fan to change his future for the better.

Once Chen Fan reached the end of the mountain path, he pulled open the door of a black Mercedes and got in.

Master Wu was already waiting for him inside the car. He asked respectfully,

“Master Chen, are we going to Dong Du City right now?”

Chen Fan had already bid farewell with Jiang Tanqiu and Wei Ziqin before he came to talk to Jiang Churan. He had asked Old Man Zhen to call the school and ask for a long vacation on his behalf. Since Old Man Zhen was one of the stakeholders of the school, the teachers gave Chen Fan the green light without raising an eyebrow.

“No, not now, there is somewhere I need to be before we leave.” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and said wistfully.

They arrived at the entrance of the Foreign Language Academy in Jin City.

Chen Fan got off the car and walked to a large tree beside the entrance. He stood and watched the boys and girls come out of the school.

They were all his age, energetic and blessed with a bright future. They prattled and laughed with each other as they walked and frolicked out of the school.

After a while, a graceful and elegant girl walked through the gate. She was no more than sixteen. However, her beauty was already budding.

She was accompanied by a few attractive boys and girls. They surrounded her as worker bees would to their queen.

The elegant girl didn’t notice the young boy under the tree; she bid farewell to her cla.s.smates and walked away.

A luxurious race car pulled out of the school gate, and a young boy with a face that was tattooed into the dark side of Chen Fan’s brain emerged from the car. He offered a ride to the girl.

The girl refused with a graceful smile. After exchanging a few words, they parted ways.

The handsome young man didn’t seem upset by the girl’s rejection. Under many infatuated gazes of the other teenage girls, he got into the car and revved the engine before he was gone.

Chen Fan didn’t pay attention to anyone else. He had dedicated this moment to the girl.

He watched as she walked out of the school, waved goodbye to her friends, and refused the ride with the smile.

As quietly as he had been so far, he watched as she eventually disappeared among the flood of people in the street.

“Master, do you want me to catch up with her?”

After a few cautious moments, Master Wu braved a question.

“No need. I just wanted to see her face. ”

Chen Fan shook his head and walked away.

“Let’s go.”

“I have waited for over five hundred years for this moment; I can wait a little more.

“The next time I see you, I will have the power to protect you until the end of the time.”

— I am back after five hundred years; There you stand with the same smile I loved.
