Chapter 623: Chapter 622 I’m Going to Find You
"Yao Yao, tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock, make sure you appear in front of me on time!"
"Yao Yao, if you don’t come, then I’ll just have to go looking for you at the Su family’s place!"
"If you don’t show up, I’ll go to your school to find you!"
"Yao Yao, I’ll be waiting for you on the school’s lawn at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning!"
"If you don’t come, I’ll kiss you!"
"No matter what, you have to come!"
...
Su Mengyao looked at one message after another, her face changing from sunny to overcast, deep in thought.
"Hmph! It’s just a high school student, right? Am I supposed to be afraid of him?" Su Mengyao muttered to herself, then deleted Zhang Yang’s phone number, closed the chat app, and tossed her phone aside.
...
The next day, Su Mengyao got up early, finished her morning routine and then went downstairs to have breakfast and prepare for school.
"Big sister!" Su Mengyao reached the stairway when a girl in a pink dress and braided pigtails with fair skin and a sweet appearance called out to her.
"Little sister, what’s up?" Su Mengyao stopped and asked with a beaming smile.
The girl walked over, looped her arm through Su Mengyao’s, and smiled sweetly, "Big sister, can you go shopping with me?"
"Little sister, do you want to buy clothes?" Su Mengyao inquired.
"Yes, last night I vaguely heard Dad having an argument with brother-in-law downstairs while I was half-asleep. I was worried they might start fighting, so I want to go out and buy a new outfit. That way, Dad won’t hit me. Big sister, will you go with me, please?"
Su Mengyao glanced toward the kitchen, noticing that their father was busy working and seemed unaware of their conversation.
Recalling how angry her father got because of Zhang Yang the day before, Su Mengyao thought to herself: Since I have nothing else to do, might as well keep my little sister company.
So, Su Mengyao nodded in agreement, "Okay! Let’s head to the mall to buy clothes now!"
"Yay! That’s awesome!" the girl exclaimed excitedly, bouncing on the spot. "I’ll go change first!"
After saying that, the girl ran into the bedroom.
Seeing the girl’s spirited demeanor, Su Mengyao couldn’t help but smile, following her into the bedroom.
"Yao Yao, does this look good?"
"This one is pretty too!"
"This one is nice, you’ll definitely look great in it, Yao Yao!"
"Yao Yao, these shoes match you!"
"Yao Yao, what color do you like? I’ll go pick it out for you!"
...
After purchasing a whole set of clothes, shoes, and accessories, Su Mengyao was exhausted. Meanwhile, their mother had a smile on her face as she helped Su Mengyao pack her clothes.
By the time everything was packed into a suitcase, it was already 8:30 AM.
Seeing this, Su Father immediately called out to Zhang Yang: "Old Zhang, hurry and cook, Yao Yao is about to be late!"
"I know!" Zhang Yang replied, then headed upstairs. When he got to the stairwell, he turned back to Su Mengyao, "Yao Yao, sit for a while, I’m going to change my clothes and come right down!"
"Sure!" Su Mengyao responded and waited on the sofa for Zhang Yang.
Soon, Zhang Yang came down from upstairs. Su Mengyao quickly stood up and said, "Zhang Yang brother, hurry and change! I’ll wait for you!"
Zhang Yang smiled, "Okay, I’ll be quick!"
Watching Zhang Yang leave, Su Mengyao sat down again.
It wasn’t long before Zhang Yang emerged wearing a suit, sunglasses, a duckbill hat, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking refined and scholarly.
Seeing the completely transformed Zhang Yang, a flash of amazement crossed Su Mengyao’s eyes.
Zhang Yang looked like a young and handsome white-collar worker, not particularly tall, but he seemed very steady.
"Let’s go! We’re heading to school!" Zhang Yang said.
"Okay!" Su Mengyao responded, stood up, and followed behind Zhang Yang towards the garage.
...
When they arrived at school, Su Mengyao got out of the car, waved at Zhang Yang, and said, "Goodbye Zhang Yang! I’m heading in now!"
"Yeah, goodbye!" Zhang Yang waved back at Su Mengyao.
Su Mengyao walked into the campus with an easy stride.
"Yao Yao, slow down, don’t trip!" Zhang Yang called out to Su Mengyao.
Hearing this, Su Mengyao turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Zhang Yang, "Got it! I’ll be careful!"
"That’s my girl!"
"Bye, Zhang Yang!" Su Mengyao said cheerfully and then ran into the campus.
Watching Su Mengyao’s figure disappear into the school gates, Zhang Yang’s face was outlined with a tender smile, then he drove away from the school.
...
When Su Mengyao returned to her classroom, she found that most of her classmates had already arrived.
"Yao Yao is back!" Chen Haoran stood up upon seeing Su Mengyao, teasingly laughed, and said, "Where have you been these past few days, Yao Yao?"
"I went out to have fun!" Su Mengyao replied casually.
"Oh, so you went to have fun!" Chen Haoran said with a smile, "Yao Yao, did you know that today our class welcomed a new transfer student, and this transfer student is especially beautiful!"
"A new transfer student? Who is it?"
"Her name is Han Zixue, the beauty of our department, one of the prettiest girls in our class. Lots of boys like her — she’s the goddess of our school!" Chen Haoran excitedly introduced.
"Oh?" Su Mengyao raised an eyebrow, asking, "You said she’s the beauty of the department, does she have a photo? Let me take a look!"
Hearing Su Mengyao’s words, Chen Haoran paused, not sure if she was teasing him on purpose.
Chen Haoran cleared his throat and then handed Han Zixue’s photo to Su Mengyao.
Han Zixue had a very pure appearance, giving off the vibe of the girl next door, but as the department’s beauty, she had a multitude of admirers in the class. Some boys even saw her as their future wife, so in that year, Han Zixue received many love letters and gifts.
Su Mengyao scrutinized Han Zixue’s photo, nodded, and exclaimed, "She is indeed quite pretty, no wonder so many boys like her!"
"Yao Yao, how can you say that! She’s the most beautiful school flower of our school and an academic ace. Our school holds many events every year, like sports competitions, singing contests, and such. She wins awards every year, so much so that our school might as well not participate and just let her take care of it all," Chen Haoran said with a look of admiration.
Upon hearing Chen Haoran’s words, Su Mengyao curled her lip dismissively and said, "Psh, what’s the big deal if she’s the department flower? I’m a department flower too! You think I’m really that bad? I just can’t be bothered to participate! You guys are so shallow, drooling over a pretty face!"
After saying this, Su Mengyao turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Chen Haoran was at a loss for words and did not know how to respond, but he couldn’t help saying, "Don’t try to outdo me, Yao Yao!"
"Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore!"
With that, Su Mengyao shut her mouth and fell silent. However, her expression clearly said four words - I am not pleased.
Seeing Su Mengyao unhappy, Chen Haoran could only keep his mouth shut.
The two remained silent until the bell rang.
"Yao Yao, let me take you home!"
"Thank you, but there’s no need! I came by car."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hao felt somewhat dejected, but still said, "Alright then, be careful on the way!"
"Yeah, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
After saying farewell to Su Mengyao, Chen Hao left.
