Chapter 448 - The First Song of Qin (21) (1/2)

Chapter 448 : The First Song of Qin (21)Qin Ge sat on a bench outside school, his cold features illuminated by the light from his phone.

On the screen was a video of Shi Sheng beating up the bodyguards from before.

His whole body was tense. Only after he witnessed her fell all of them at the end did he relax.

“Professor Qin, you’re alone?” That familiar voice suddenly spoke from behind him. “Wanna hang?”

Qin Ge’s hand shook, and he immediately turned off his phone before flipping it over so that the screen was facing downwards.

He turned around. The young woman was currently leaning against the back of the bench, her head turned slightly to look at him. Her eyes were bright. There wasn’t any coldness to them, nor were they as calm as they normally were—there seemed to be faint ripples sparkling in their depths.

“No.” Qin Ge replied coldly, forcing himself to avert his gaze.

Shi Sheng suavely jumped over the bench and sat down beside Qin Ge. “Why not? You’re alone, I’m alone, it’s just nice.”

Qin Ge, “…” ‘What kind of reasoning is that? There are plenty of people alone in the world!’

His face was cold as he got up and silently walked away.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘Feng Ci, this temper of yours is really…!

You like to use the silent treatment. You’re picky with your food. You get shy easily. You like to turn tsun! Why don’t you just ascend the heavens?!’

Shi Sheng chased Qin Ge. “Professor Qin, have you eaten yet?”

“Yes.” Qin Ge had only just replied when his stomach very uncooperatively rumbled.

“Prof, your metabolism’s pretty good ah.” Shi Sheng sighed.

Qin Ge covered himself up before asking her with a frown, “The gate’s about to close; aren’t you heading back to school?”

“No. I’ve got something to do.” Shi Sheng shook her head.

“It’s the middle of the night. You should do whatever it is tomorrow.” ‘It’s so late, yet a young lady like her is still wandering outside alone.’

Shi Sheng raised her head to look at Qin Ge, asking him with a smile, “You’re worried about me?”

“You’re my student; of course I’d be concerned for you.” Qin Ge gave a very official reply.

“It’s not like I’m in school right now; why are you bothering?” Shi Sheng pouted. ‘This damned tsun!’

Qin Ge turned to walk back, speaking in a rather unyielding tone, “I’ll walk you back.”

“No need.”

Qin Ge frowned and looked at her, his gaze like a torch.

The surrounding lights were very dim. The warm, hazy glow was like a light veil that hid the difficult-to-suppress emotions that sprung up in the darkness.

The leaves on the trees rustled in the breeze. Beneath them, time seemed to have been grabbed by an invisible hand, stopping in this moment.

“Don’t move.” A rough voice spoke from the darkness.

Two masked men, dressed in black and wielding knives, sprang out from the side, each pointing their weapons at Shi Sheng and Qin Ge.

“Hand over your phones and wallets!” These guys appeared to be experienced, for they had altered their voices and acted confident.

Shi Sheng’s eyes moved slightly, using the gaze of someone looking at a retard as she looked at Criminal A. “A mugging?”

“No shit! Hand them over!” Criminal A growled. ‘It’s so obvious yet she has to ask? Has she been scared stupid?’

“What kind of scrub would rob me instead of a bank?”

Criminal A got angry. “If we could rob a bank, why would we choose to mug you?!”

Shi Sheng shrugged. “That means you’re a scrub. What’s the point in living if you can’t even be the best at what you do? Why don’t you just die?”

Criminal A, “…” ‘What’s with this negativity? Shouldn’t a normal person be trying to convince us out of a life of crime???’

“Why are you wasting words on her? Hurry up! Before someone comes!” Criminal B urged.
