Chapter 199: Why are several people so busy lately?
The library is large, with three floors, organized according to the distribution of books written on the staircase.
Chen Yuan had his goal set on the second floor, as this level contains advanced thoughts and laws, along with a series of historical books.
Based on his understanding of Cu, she should be reading on this floor.
Recently, she has become fascinated with history, especially biographies. Whenever Chen Yuan sees her watching related historical videos online, her eyes are filled with passion and tears.
Every speck of dust in history is like a mountain resting on a person.
The way books gloss over events and figures represents the lives of many people, whether brilliant or ordinary.
However, after searching thoroughly on the second floor, Chen Yuan could not find her.
Since it was the library, he didn’t feel it was appropriate to directly message her and disturb her, just wanting to see her on his way.
After searching the first floor as well, and truly finding no trace of her, he had to leave.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit perplexed: why has Little Cu not been around lately, just like Sakura…?
Could it be the pressure of mid-term exams?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan could roughly deduce that Cu is usually quite studious.
Perhaps… the exams in this world are different for her?
After all, this was her first time encountering such exams, and the teachers deliberately emphasize that it relates to the final exam scores, exaggerating the importance.
Maybe Cu is more concerned about her first exam?
Chen Yuan was old news; mid-term exams weren’t enough to spur him to study.
Isn’t it the case that everyone only starts cramming during finals?
Are they starting mid-terms so soon?
Not finding Cu, Chen Yuan headed toward the dance room.
Arriving at the dance studio, he saw some boys lingering around, peeping in. He could guess that Yu was practicing dance.
Through the curtains, he saw that Yu was indeed in the classroom. It didn’t seem appropriate to interrupt the teacher, so he sneaked a couple of glances before leaving.
Next, he passed by Leia’s office in the teaching building.
After taking a quick look inside, he noticed no one was at Leia’s desk.
At this time, Leia was likely teaching classmates, so it wouldn’t be good to interrupt.
Finally, he went to the opposite South Finance University to look for Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue was in class and, after receiving Chen Yuan’s message, told him to wait for her and that she would come down to meet him.
Since it was just class, she could take Chen Yuan with her.
In comparison, Chen Yuan suddenly felt warm inside; after all, his little sister was a sweetie~
Although he didn’t blame the others, as long as he sent them messages, they would definitely drop what they were doing to see him.
However, Chen Yuan didn’t want to trouble them.
As for Xiaoxue, he could only message her because he couldn’t find her classroom.
But Chen Yuan certainly wouldn’t let Lin Shuxue really come down to get him; he just asked her to send him the classroom location so he could find it slowly.
He was just there to take a look, plus he had to get back home to check on Sakura and ask her what she had been busy with lately.
Upon arriving at the classroom, Chen Yuan handed Xiaoxue the milk tea he bought at the school gate.
“Brother, why don’t you just sit in on my class?”
“No way, Sakura has been busy these past few days, and I need to go back to check on her. Plus, there are things in the shop to take care of, and you need to prepare for your mid-terms too,” Chen Yuan replied softly.
Seeing Xiaoxue still in her clingy mood, something in his heart seemed to finally feel relieved.
For some reason, ever since they learned about Leia’s achievements, they had all become a bit busy.
In the past, they would come to look for him whenever they had free time, but suddenly they stopped coming. Naturally, he felt a bit of withdrawal.
“Oh… okay,” Lin Shuxue nodded obediently, pouting, “You only come to see me once in a while.”
At 1.75 meters tall, she was warm and refined, giving off an aura of purity—always appearing cold and melancholic…
But such a Lin Shuxue, in front of Chen Yuan… was like a clingy and slightly mischievous little sister!
How could the boys in class not feel heartache over that?
Moreover, Chen Yuan didn’t often visit Lin Shuxue’s school and had never attended any classes with her, so his sudden appearance might have been a bit awkward.
It was like Liu Yifei in class; everyone knows she must have a boyfriend, but as long as her boyfriend isn’t around, they can still admire her quietly.
The stage incident was long gone and could be left in the past!
Now, seeing Lin Shuxue’s unique adorable attitude toward Chen Yuan…
Heartache… pain…
Looking at Chen Yuan was like watching the detestable Yin Zhiping in “The Return of the Condor Heroes”…
“All right, let’s get to class. I’ll be leaving; come home early tonight,” Chen Yuan said with a doting smile. His recent popularity meant he was always being watched.
He didn’t want to accompany Xiaoxue while enduring the hostile eyes of all the boys in her class…
Lin Shuxue nodded, “Mm, got it.”
After saying that, Chen Yuan left the South Finance University campus.
When he returned home, the house was empty.
They had already moved.
But Sakura was still absent.
Chen Yuan found it strange when his calls went unanswered.
He truly didn’t know what Sakura was busy with…
Could it be that this girl…
Had some secret she didn’t want him to know?
With that thought, Chen Yuan broke out in a cold sweat…
If Sakura had something to fear about him knowing in this world, it could only be…
A life!
Could it be that she accidentally harmed someone and was secretly dealing with it?
Otherwise, what could possibly make her run around?
When he had just returned, she had been all over him; now that their feelings had faded, she wasn’t hovering around him and suddenly started being busy with who knows what…
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt increasingly anxious…
If he really got involved with something he shouldn’t, that would be a disaster…
Just as Chen Yuan was pondering this, the door opened.
The ones coming in were Sakura and Cu.
Seeing Cu next to Sakura, Chen Yuan unconsciously relaxed a bit.
With the hallmark good student impression, if Cu was there, she probably hadn’t been up to any bad deeds.
Chen Yuan immediately stood up and walked toward the two.
“What have you been doing?”
“Yinghua wanted to buy a few new clothes, so I went shopping with her,” Cu replied to Chen Yuan.
Sakura kept her head down and didn’t speak, her gaze fixed on the coffee table in the living room, where there was the milk tea and some snacks Chen Yuan had bought.
No matter what world, she was a glutton…
Chen Yuan glanced at the bags the two were holding and didn’t think too much about it, but he still tugged at Sakura.
With concern, he asked:
“Sakura, why have you been going out so much lately?”
