Chapter 102: Party Preparations
“What, what?!” Jin Mingze leaned against the window, his eyes wide in disbelief.
“Tsk… sigh… flying…” Chen Yuan pouted. Despite the commotion, he still hoped to see Xiaoxue come down.
“What did you say?!” Jin Mingze shouted at Chen Yuan, then looked at the auntie.
“Auntie, I didn’t hear you earlier. Did you really tell her who I am? Did you make it clear? It’s about the party tonight!”
“I did say, but she won’t see you. Am I supposed to lie to you?” The auntie was quite displeased with the boy’s words.
“How could she not see me…” Jin Mingze muttered.
“Auntie, I’m leaving for now. I’ll come back later,” Chen Yuan immediately greeted the auntie, not wanting to see the other boy here.
“Okay, bye.” The auntie still greeted Chen Yuan with a smile.
After Chen Yuan left, Jin Mingze asked the auntie again, “Auntie, who is that boy? Which class is he from? Does he often come to see Lin Shuxue?”
The auntie glanced at Jin Mingze, not wanting to tell him much, “Why are you asking about him?”
“I… just asking…” Jin Mingze was choked and clenched his fists, smacking his lips before turning and leaving without saying goodbye.
“No manners at all, still a student council member…”
…..
“Leia, you really can come back now. Xiaoxue is back at school,” Chen Yuan said over the phone to Leia.
“But Commander… I’m tracking someone over here…”
Leia was following a girl whose appearance she couldn’t see. The girl’s movements were mysterious, as if she sensed Leia and was constantly trying to shake her off.
“Ah?”
Sakura?
Chen Yuan was shocked, his brain racing, and immediately asked, “Is she the one with red hair?”
“No… she has black hair…”
Black hair… dyed hair?
…..
Later on.
Chen Yuan reluctantly returned to stand guard outside the girls’ dormitory.
How could it be black hair…
At this moment, the dormitory auntie waved him over.
When he got closer, the auntie informed him of the bad news that Lin Shuxue had just left.
“Just now, that boy you met in the afternoon came back and called Lin Shuxue out.”
“???!”
“Is it the one wearing glasses?” Chen Yuan frowned.
“Yes, that’s him. He asked a girl to go up and call her down,” the auntie recalled. “It seems that girl is also some kind of officer; she’s probably from their student council too.”
“Oh…”
Chen Yuan nodded in understanding. Could it be that he called a girl from his own department?
Checking the time, it was already evening, and the party venue must have started rehearsals.
Chen Yuan had planned to stake out a spot, but unexpectedly, that dog got there first.
“Thank you, Auntie. I’ll head over there now.”
After saying that, Chen Yuan waved goodbye to the auntie and walked towards the venue.
…..
The welcoming party at Nanfai University was held on the south lawn.
Directly opposite Jiang University of Science’s main gate was the north gate.
Chen Yuan passed by Building 2 of the girls’ dormitory to check the school gate again.
As luck would have it, he encountered a cheerful Liu Yuhang and his group, chatting and laughing…
However, since Chen Yuan was in a hurry, he didn’t pay attention.
On the contrary, Liu Yuhang and the others noticed Chen Yuan’s movements.
“Isn’t that Old Chen?!” Tan Haoxin said, elbowing the person next to him when he noticed Chen Yuan walking towards the party.
Huang Zhisheng followed his gaze, stopping his laughter, “It’s Old Chen. What’s he doing here?”
Liu Yuhang looked around warily, “Where?”
Li Hua turned his face, pointing towards the 2 o’clock direction: “Isn’t that him?”
“What the hell! What’s Old Chen doing here?!” Liu Yuhang looked at Luo Zichuan!
Luo Zichuan looked innocent, “Don’t look at me! I didn’t say anything!”
It was Wang Baorui who recognized Chen Yuan as the guy who had eaten with three girls recently.
Casually, he said, “Our school’s welcoming party isn’t a secret; maybe he heard someone talking about it?”
“What’s he doing here at the party? He hasn’t told us.” Li Hua stroked his chin, squinting slightly.
In collective activities, it didn’t make sense not to invite your own roommate.
Besides, not even attending Jiang University’s own welcoming party…
They were all here to see Lin Shuxue.
So this useless boy was accompanied by three girls and still had the leisure to watch the performances?
If I had three, I’d definitely—stay in bed!
“Who knows…”
“Let’s go check it out.”
Liu Yuhang said, “I can’t shake this ominous feeling…”
“Shut up! That’s impossible!” everyone said in unison.
Wang Baorui just smiled at their exaggerated reactions and didn’t take it to heart.
There’s no way it could be so mystical; whoever they liked wouldn’t necessarily get involved with that guy.
Lin Shuxue doesn’t even know this boy they’re talking about, how could it be possible…
…..
“Should we just head back…?” Cu didn’t want to disobey Chen Yuan’s words and said hesitantly at this moment.
“You come out and now want to go back? If you want to go back, then go,” Yu said, walking ahead and impatiently telling her to keep moving.
She wasn’t as rule-abiding as Cu.
Though after that incident, she had become much more obedient, it was only when Chen Yuan was around that she acted like a little cat.
When Chen Yuan wasn’t around, she would immediately transform into a little devil, always ready to pull some new tricks.
“Hey, wait! The teacher asked me to keep an eye on you!” Cu quickly followed.
The two of them arrived at Nanfai University.
Compared to Jiang University of Science across the street, they were entirely unfamiliar with this place.
Peering through the school gate.
“I hope we don’t get lost again…”
Cu recalled how Yu led her around Jiang University of Science for an entire afternoon, worrying.
“Don’t you want to see Fal’s sister?” Yu directly piqued Cu’s curiosity.
Having come this far, it would be a shame to backtrack now, right?
“But the teacher said she would bring her back for us to meet, we don’t need to rush, right?”
“Then you can go back; I’ll go in to find her.” Yu waved her hand and headed straight inside.
“Hey!”
Cu hesitated for half a second, self-hypnotizing: Teacher, I’m here to keep an eye on Yu…
