Chapter 25: Zhang Mengyao: My Love is Here!
On the fourteenth of the first lunar month, the spring semester officially started at Spring City No. 1 High School. In Class 1 of Grade 12, Zhang Mengyao laid on her desk, lethargic and moaning in despair.
“Why did the holiday go by so quickly…so quickly!”
Her best friend, also slumped on her desk, nodded weakly in agreement. Not only them, but the whole class was filled with a restless atmosphere.
After a while of lamenting, Zhang Mengyao’s best friend suddenly spoke up, “Mengyao, do you think Qi Yun really doesn’t like you anymore?” Hearing this, Zhang Mengyao’s face darkened even further.
“Didn’t we agree not to mention him anymore?”
She still remembered Qi Yun’s behavior before the holiday. His disdainful gaze. His nimble avoidance. It echoed in her mind, hard to forget… She, Miss Zhang, who had ruled Spring City No.1 High School for three years, had never been so humiliated!
“I’m just curious. Qi Yun liked you for quite some time, why did he suddenly lose interest? And even started liking Lian Qingxue?”
“Hey? Do you think he was doing it on purpose to attract your attention? Do you think he will come back to you when school starts?”
Zhang Mengyao sneered, “Regardless of whether he is true or not, he has no chance now!”
While speaking, Zhang Mengyao clenched her fist, a firm determination flashing in her eyes. “If he pretended to like Lian Qingxue to attract my attention, then he’s too stupid. I’ll never forgive him!”
“If he truly likes Lian Qingxue, then he’s beyond redemption! Right now, it’s senior year, the time that determines our destiny, and he dares to date!”
“From now on, he will sink in love, his grades will plummet, beyond redemption!”
“And I, will keep myself pure, study hard, and strive to chase my dreams! Love is my stumbling block!”
“After high school, one of us will go to a prestigious university, and the other to an obscure one, completely becoming people of two different worlds! At that time, he will feel the cruelty of life, and I, will be the white moonlight he will never obtain in his lifetime!”
At this point, Zhang Mengyao stood with her hands on her hips, full of confidence. “Mengyao… you think so far ahead! Yes, now is not the time for love, I should also study hard!”
Zhang Mengyao’s best friend, looking at Zhang Mengyao with admiration. The fire of struggle in her heart was burning! At this moment, a figure walked past the corridor outside the classroom door.
He was 1.8 meters tall, thin but upright. There was a hint of heroic spirit in his eyes. As soon as the two of them saw this person, they couldn’t take their eyes off him.
“This guy is so handsome…”
Zhang Mengyao’s best friend couldn’t help but sigh. As she was speaking, Zhang Mengyao had already stood up and ran towards the corridor.
“Mengyao, where are you going?”
“I’m going to get his contact information!”
“??? I thought you said you were going to study hard!”
“You don’t understand the unpredictability of life! Love, it comes so suddenly!”
“Wasn’t love your stumbling block?”
“Yes,
I was tripped over by it! I need a handsome guy to kiss me so I can get up!”
“What about going to university?”
“It’s okay, I have completely handed over my life to this handsome guy! University is not important!”
“……”
The person in the corridor was Qi Yun. Half a month ago, Qi Yun’s change was already astonishing. When the winter vacation ended, it had been exactly a month. Under the effect of the system’s body enhancement capsules, he had changed inside and out.
His height had grown to 1.8 meters. His temperament even exuded a kind of sunshine from his bones. Usually, people overlook the physical changes of those around them. After all, seeing them every day, they would get used to some subtle changes.
Therefore, although Lian Qingxue and Qi Yun’s parents also felt that Qi Yun had changed quite a lot, they could still recognize him. But it was different for Qi Yun’s classmates. They hadn’t seen Qi Yun for a month. And this month was the time when Qi Yun changed the most.
So at first glance, almost no one recognized him. They all thought he was a student from another class passing by. When he tried to enter the classroom, someone suddenly stopped him.
Zhang Mengyao looked up and shyly and excitedly said to him, “Classmate, may I ask which class you are from?”
“……”
Seeing that Qi Yun didn’t answer, Zhang Mengyao was a little anxious, “I don’t have any other intentions, I just want to get to know you and be friends!”
“Sure, what’s your name?” Qi Yun asked.
“My name is Zhang Mengyao!” Upon hearing Qi Yun’s agreement, Zhang Mengyao immediately responded cheerfully.
“Zhang Mengyao, this name is very familiar, but I don’t know if you are familiar with my name…”
“What’s your name?” Zhang Mengyao asked expectantly.
“Qi Yun…”
“Qi…Yun???” Zhang Mengyao was flabbergasted.
