Chapter 18 Sorry, I have a boyfriend.
"Um... I'm sorry, I need to talk to this person about something, so I can't continue talking to you. I'm so sorry!"
Cheng Xiuxiu bowed to the people still in line to apologize. Her attitude was polite and apologetic, and her words were soft and gentle. Apart from her Yuzhou dialect sounding a bit rustic, she was just like a lady from a well-to-do family.
So, everyone in line expressed their understanding and soon dispersed.
"Sigh...not bad at all..." Cheng Xiuxiu smiled without showing her teeth, appearing exceptionally elegant. "Although it was nominally a confession, they were all chatting and laughing after being rejected. It seems they were actually just there to chat with me. And there are so many clubs at this school, all wanting to recruit me. They're so enthusiastic!"
"Hmph! With me here, none of them will succeed!"
"Um?"
Cheng Xiuxiu turned her head and saw Chen Chen with his arms crossed and legs spread apart, looking imposing and aloof. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
"Faith ball!"
But Chen Chen didn't care at all, and instead sat down in front of her nonchalantly:
"Hello, my name is Chen Chen, and I'm the man who's about to become your boyfriend!"
Good grief, what kind of confession was that, Jiahao? That was so awkward...
Beside her, Yan Yiyan covered her eyes in unbearable distress.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiuxiu blushed and pouted.
"I knew you confessed your feelings to me before, but I didn't know you were this shameless..."
"This isn't called shamelessness, it's called commendable courage."
As Chen Chen spoke, he leaned closer to the girl:
"Okay, now you have to reward me! A pat on the head or a kiss on the cheek will do."
"Huh?" Cheng Xiuxiu looked puzzled. "Why?"
"Because my courage is commendable! I showed courage, so you should reward me!"
Good heavens, Chen Chen, is that how you use "commendable courage"? Even your Chinese teacher would have to praise you as a little genius!
"Uh..." Cheng Xiuxiu glanced at Yan Yiyan, who was about to break down, her cute little face showing a gentleness unique to her when encountering someone she didn't like. "I heard that Wanping South Road isn't too far from here..."
"It doesn't matter how far it is! If you want to go, I'll take you there on my electric scooter. By the way! There's a flash mob event for ○ God over there recently, do you play ○ God too?!"
This is probably what it means to be a little cute.
But looking into Chen Chen's bright eyes, filled with the expectation of a fellow enthusiast, the affection for a young girl, and the purest love for the God of Sex... I felt that this guy was truly full of childlike innocence.
Yan Yiyan suddenly felt an urge to take care of this child with a cane.
Cheng Xiuxiu's answer surprised her even more.
The girl shook her head:
"I don't play ○ God, I don't play any mobile games at all. You can't bring your phone to high school, it will affect your studies."
Chen Chen and Yan Yiyan stood there, stunned.
Goodness, even in this day and age, when teachers and parents are turning a blind eye, there are still students who don't bring their phones?
Chen Chen asked:
"Let's not even talk about playing games or not. Isn't this very inconvenient? You have to carry some cash with you, and you can't scan the code when you encounter shared bikes. You can only ask others for help with questions you don't know how to do, and it's also very inconvenient to contact friends and parents."
But the girl smiled softly and shook her head:
"Paper money is convenient. I can't ride a bicycle, so asking others questions is a good way for me to learn Mandarin. Besides, I don't even have any friends now."
Of course, the most important point she didn't mention was that this girl was a rich woman, and many inconvenient things were taken care of for her.
For example, at this moment, a strange, burly man entered the classroom. He looked very strong, and the muscles on his body seemed about to burst out of his leather suit. When he saw Chen Chen and Yan Yiyan sitting next to Cheng Xiuxiu, he was slightly taken aback and strode over.
"My goodness, what does this person do? Why is he so fierce?" Yan Yiyan asked secretly.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's just the driver."
As Cheng Xiuxiu had said, the burly man approached them, nodded to them, and then took out a card, respectfully handing it to Cheng Xiuxiu:
"Miss, this is your meal card. It's already loaded with 30,000 yuan. If it's not enough, I'll top it up again."
"That's enough, thank you." Cheng Xiuxiu smiled as she took the card, nodded to her uncle, and said, "Uncle, you can go ahead and do your work now. Just come pick me up this afternoon."
"Yes, Miss."
The burly man turned and left, leaving Chen Chen and Yan Yiyan standing there dumbfounded.
"Thirty thousand yuan..."
"46 times 648..."
"Just like that, without a word..."
"Did you use it to top up your meal card?"
The two stared at each other, unsure of what expression to make.
But then, Yan Yiyan leaped forward in a "wild goose landing on the sand" move, grabbing Cheng Xiuxiu's leg and refusing to let go, crying and screaming:
"Rich woman! Rich woman! Mom! Can I be your keychain?"
My family is extremely poor. From a young age, my mother told me that children from poor families mature early. So, to save money, I would split every penny in half. Then the shopkeeper told me they wouldn't accept damaged coins, and my mother took me home. When we got home, my mother scolded me again... I forgot what happened next, but anyway, I was miserable! Please take care of me, waaaaaaah...
What the hell?! You're way too greedy for money!
"Hey! Get up! Get up right now! Don't do that! You're being too reckless!"
Cheng Xiuxiu pouted, lowered her head, and tried to pull Yan Yiyan's hand down. Her soft, embarrassed voice made Chen Chen's head feel all tingly. He couldn't even imagine how pleasant it would be if Cheng Xiuxiu really became his girlfriend and spoke to him in that voice every day.
Oh... just thinking about it makes me want to ride the wind and ascend to immortality!
"Get up! You're not allowed to be a beggar here anymore!" Thinking this, he bent down and pulled Yan Yiyan down.
"Waaaah..." Perhaps she was too immersed in the role, Yan Yiyan wiped away her tears, sniffled, and said, "If I don't become a beggar, will you support me?"
"I wouldn't dare keep you. You're always guzzling tea from famous brands like Chabaidao, Bawangchaji, and Shanghai aunties, but you're too lazy to even try Mixue Ice Cream. How would I afford to eat if I kept you?"
Sure enough, it was the acquaintances who were most likely to expose her shortcomings. Upon hearing Chen Chen's words, Yan Yiyan immediately stopped crying, and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face.
"I'm... I'm on a diet, so I'm not eating, just drinking some milk tea to get the nutrition I need."
"Weren't you the one who was gnawing on a braised pork knuckle yesterday?"
"This...this only highlights how destitute I am, doesn't it? I've never even eaten a braised pork knuckle."
"So you only eat the skin? You spit out the meat inside as soon as you bite into it?"
"Damn it, damn it! You're not allowed to say it! You're not allowed to say it, you hear me! If you say it again, I'll beat you to death!"
Well, now she was furious and embarrassed.
After eliminating the influencing factors, Chen Chen turned his head and looked at Cheng Xiuxiu, who was covering her mouth and secretly laughing:
"Xiuxiu, it's finally time for us."
"What...what do you want to say?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiuxiu pursed her lips, her face flushed, and her bright eyes looked up slightly as she asked cautiously.
"I like you, not because of your money, although that's a big part of it, but not because of your god-like qualities. It's simply because you're too cute, so cute that I'd regret it for the rest of my life if you weren't my girlfriend. So..."
He stared intently at the girl, his eyes gleaming:
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
The girl pouted and shook her head: "No, we've only met twice, it's not allowed."
Chen Chen looked down, then looked up again: "Three rounds!"
Before Cheng Xiuxiu could react, he said again, "It's on all four sides!"
"Don't..."
"Five rounds!"
"Six sides..."
"Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" The girl panicked, her face flushed with nervousness. "Don't do it anymore, you'll break your neck!"
"Then can you promise me?" Chen Chen stopped.
"It's still...it's still not possible..."
"It's okay, if once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times. I believe that sincerity can move mountains, and you'll become my girlfriend sooner or later!"
"No...no, it won't work, no matter how many times!"
Why?
Cheng Xiuxiu turned her head away, seemingly unable to look at Chen Chen any longer.
"Because..." Her voice was low, lacking confidence, but the content of her words instantly extinguished the light in his eyes:
"Because I have a boyfriend."
