Chapter 622: Chapter 621 Have Some Porridge
"Yao Yao, come, have some porridge!" Su’s mother gazed at Su Mengyao with affection and said.
"Okay!" Su Mengyao walked to the table, sat down, and slowly began eating breakfast.
After having breakfast, Su Mengyao went to find Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was sitting there reading a book.
Su Mengyao approached and called out softly, "Classmate Liu, your breakfast!"
Liu Zheng looked up at her, took the breakfast, and then bowed his head to continue his reading.
"Don’t you plan to ask me to sit?" Su Mengyao said with a hint of disappointment.
Liu Zheng didn’t answer her, merely shifting his gaze back to the book.
At this moment, Su’s mother came out and said to Su Mengyao, "Yao Yao, Classmate Liu needs to study, you should go back now!"
"Oh!" Su Mengyao felt a bit disheartened, but she knew her mother meant well, so she nodded and said, "Then I’ll be going!"
However, Liu Zheng suddenly stood up, walked to the door, stopped, turned to look at Su Mengyao, and said, "Wait!"
Su Mengyao was taken aback and asked with some surprise, "What is it?"
Liu Zheng thought for a while, then asked, "Do you... do you still remember me?"
Su Mengyao smiled and shook her head, "I don’t remember. Why?"
Liu Zheng’s face went slightly red with embarrassment, then he said, "Never mind then..."
Having said that, he returned to his room to continue reading.
Su Mengyao glanced at him and also left.
Liu Zheng continued reading the book in his hands, thinking: It seems he really mistook her for someone else. She must be so beautiful that he thought she was someone he knew!
After Su Mengyao returned to the classroom, she started to daydream.
She wondered: What’s the situation with her traveling to this world? How could she have traveled here? Why couldn’t she remember anything at all?
Could it be that the poor environment of this world caused her to forget many things during her travel? But if she wasn’t from this world, then where could she be from?
She couldn’t help frowning.
"Su Mengyao, what are you daydreaming about? It’s time for class!" A girl poked her.
"Ah!" Su Mengyao snapped back to reality, saw the teacher in front of her, then hurriedly ran to her seat.
After class that afternoon, Su Mengyao, as usual, left the classroom, then saw Liu Zheng at the stairwell.
Liu Zheng was leaning against the wall smoking. Seeing Su Mengyao emerge from the stairwell, he quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
"Classmate Liu Zheng, thank you for helping me out today, I’ve already explained it to my mother!"
Liu Zheng nodded, "Then let me walk you home."
Su Mengyao shook her head and said, "There’s no need to trouble yourself, I can get back on my own!"
"It’s no trouble!" Liu Zheng said, "It’s quite late, I’ll feel better if I escort you home!"
Having said so, he extended his right hand towards Su Mengyao, making an inviting gesture.
Seeing this, Su Mengyao’s face instantly flushed red.
Liu Zheng looked at her and laughed, "What’s wrong?"
"Uh... that... that... your hand is dirty... I..." Su Mengyao stammered out her words.
"Is that so!" Liu Zheng touched his head and gave an embarrassed chuckle.
Then, a car drove up. Spotting the person inside, Su Mengyao suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Liu!"
Liu Zheng saw who it was and quickly walked over.
"Liu Zheng!" Su’s father glanced at him and said, "How come you’re smoking outside again!"
"I... I’m not... not!" Liu Zheng stammered.
Su’s father said irritably, "Don’t think I don’t know. Every time you come here to meet Yao Yao, you wait at the school gate for half an hour!"
After hearing this, Liu Zheng felt somewhat awkward, then looked towards Su Mengyao.
Su Mengyao also looked at Liu Zheng and said, "Brother Liu, don’t mind my dad! He’s always like this, but don’t worry, I won’t tell him!"
Relieved by Su Mengyao’s words, Liu Zheng chuckled and replied, "No problem, I don’t mind!"
Then, Su’s father said, "Since you’re here to pick up Yao Yao, might as well take her home on your way!"
After speaking, Su’s father left.
Liu Zheng and Su Mengyao walked side by side, then both fell into silence.
Liu Zheng looked at Su Mengyao and said, "Actually, I think we’re quite compatible!"
"Do you?" Su Mengyao responded indifferently.
Liu Zheng paused, then said, "Yes! Neither of us likes to talk much!"
"Hehe, I do like to talk!" Su Mengyao said with a laugh.
Liu Zheng laughed as well and said, "I do too!"
"By the way, you haven’t told me your name yet!" Liu Zheng inquired.
"My name is Su Mengyao!" Su Mengyao answered.
"Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you!"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they each got into their cars.
"Yao Yao, bye-bye!" Liu Zheng waved to Su Mengyao.
"Bye!" Su Mengyao waved back.
Then, the cars drove away.
Turning her head to watch the fading car, Su Mengyao sighed and said, "Brother Liu, goodbye!"
...
After returning to her dormitory, Su Mengyao locked the door and then opened the wardrobe on the bed to start packing her things.
Half an hour later, she had everything ready and, carrying her suitcase, walked towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she ran into her father.
"Yao Yao, what are you doing?" her father asked.
"Dad, I’ve thought it over and I want to go back to school!" Su Mengyao said to her father.
Her father frowned upon hearing this, "Yao Yao, why do you suddenly want to go back to school? You’ve only started the third grade this semester!"
"But I have thought it through, I want to go back to school!" Su Mengyao said decisively.
"But..." her father hesitated, not knowing what to say, and finally could only say helplessly, "Alright then! If you’ve thought it through, go back!"
Su Mengyao nodded and then left with her suitcase.
Seeing his daughter leave, her father sighed.
He loved his daughter dearly but also respected her choices because she had grown up and as a father, he shouldn’t interfere too much.
So, her father picked up the phone and made a call to his daughter, "Hello, is that Yao Yao?"
"Mmm!" The voice of Su Mengyao’s mother came through the phone.
"Is that Yao Yao? It’s Dad!"
"Dad!"
"Mmm, I’m at the school gate right now, come out!"
"Okay, I’ll come out right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Mengyao hurried downstairs and then got into the car to head home.
Once home, Su Mengyao carried her luggage up to the second floor and then went straight to her bedroom.
She began packing her backpack, books, and daily necessities into the suitcase.
Su Mengyao dragged her suitcase downstairs slowly.
Seeing her descending the stairs, her father quickly went to meet her, "Where are you going?"
"I’m going back!" Su Mengyao said.
"Going back? Where are you going back to?" her father asked with a puzzled look.
Su Mengyao smiled, "Of course, I’m going back home!"
Her father frowned, "Back home? Where are you going?"
"I’m going back home, Dad. I’ve thought about it and I don’t think I’m suited for staying in this house, I feel... I shouldn’t stay at home anymore!" Su Mengyao stated.
"No! Yao Yao, you shouldn’t think like this!" her father frowned and said, "You are the child your mother and I have painstakingly raised, it is right for us to treat you well. As for your boyfriend..."
"He and I are just ordinary friends!"
"Ordinary friends?" her father asked doubtfully, "Then why did he give you a gift? Why would he give you a gift?"
"He just..."
Before Su Mengyao could finish, her father interrupted, "Enough, don’t lie to me! If you’re really just ordinary friends with him, then why would he send you a gift? Does he expect you to invite him for a meal too?"
After a moment of silence, Su Mengyao said, "Dad, I’ve thought about it, and I think we should break up!"
"You... what did you say?" Her father was shocked, "Break up? You actually want to break up with him? Why? Why do you want to break up with him?"
Su Mengyao hung her head and didn’t dare to look into her father’s angry eyes because she didn’t know how to explain to her dad, because she didn’t know if Liu Zheng gave her gifts because he liked her.
"I feel that we’re not suitable..." Su Mengyao said softly, "And right now, I have more important matters to deal with!"
Her father frowned and said, "Yao Yao, what do you mean by that? What could be more important than breaking up with your boyfriend?"
Su Mengyao remained silent.
"Yao Yao, your father doesn’t agree!" her father said emphatically, "If you don’t want to break up with him, then you should move over and live with me!"
"Dad, why bother!" Su Mengyao sighed and said, "You know, if you take me back home to live, he will definitely misunderstand again, so..."
After contemplating for a moment, her father said, "Well then, okay!"
Upon hearing that, Su Mengyao revealed a slight smile, "Thank you, Dad!"
"There’s no need to thank me, you really don’t have to thank me!" her father shook his head.
"Alright, you should go back to your room and rest now! I’ll call you for breakfast in the morning!"
"Okay!" Su Mengyao nodded and turned to leave.
...
Back in her bedroom, Su Mengyao opened her suitcase and took out her laptop intending to boot up and play games online.
Just after logging into QQ, Su Mengyao noticed several new emails popping up. She clicked on them and saw they were all from Zhang Yang, and one of them was even from this evening.
