Volume 2 - Chapter 68 – Such as giving me flowers
“Okay!’ I left my phone number to Professor Dong and walked out of his office. This is amazing, I got a powerful support, it’s no problem even if I don’t go to class anymore. It seems to be fine even if I don’t take exams, right? Gaga!
When I got back to the classroom, I saw Zhang Jiaming there again, and was chatting with Zhao Yanyan on my seat. Zhao Yanyan showed a look of contempt, and cried out towards me as if she was looking for help after she saw me come in, “Liu Lei, what did Professor Dong find you for?”
I quickly ran back to my seat and said to Zhang Jiaming, “Sorry, my girlfriend’s looking for me, please excuse me!”
Zhang Jiaming stood up with an expression of dissatisfaction. Right before leaving, he turned to Zhao Yanyan and said, “Zhao Yanyan, consider it!”
Zhao Yanyan didn’t even look at him, so Zhang Jiaming could only glare and leave in annoyance.
“Why did you think of asking me for help, don’t you dislike me as well!” I said with a smile.
“Yeah, but you’re not as despicable as them, so might as well use you as a shield!” Zhao Yanyan said craftily.
I knew that her impression of me in her heart has already changed, I didn’t point it out though, I merely said, “Professor Dong wants to establish a software company and wants me to help!”
“You? Oh yeah, you didn’t say it yet, have you learnt computing before?” Zhao Yanyan was very confused about my shocking performance during the class in the morning.
“Of course, don’t you remember? We took lessons together at the Shaoniangong in Songjiang city, and even entered a national computing competition together!” I said.
“Che, here you go again! Can’t you be more creative, this lady is no fool, can’t you use a more interesting method?” Zhao Yanyan twitched her mouth and said.
“What do you mean by interesting?” I faint, Zhao Yanyan actually still thinks that I’m making up a story to trick her just to pursue her.
“Such as asking me out to play, or giving me some flowers…” Zhao Yanyan said casually.
“Do you mean that you agree to go on a date with me?” Hearing Zhao Yanyan say that, I knew that our relationship seemed to improve once again.
However, Zhao Yanyan instantly realized that there was something wrong with what she said. She explained with an embarrassed blush, “It’s just that Zhang Jiaming wanted to ask me out, so I said it casually, don’t misunderstand!”
“I didn’t misunderstand, didn’t misunderstand, hehe!” I really wanted to laugh loudly! I disregard that lesson was about to start, and swiftly jumped out of the classroom window.
Zhao Yanyan freaked, the building we were studying in was one with staircases, the window was one and a half floors above the ground. Zhao Yanyan thought to herself, this fellow can’t have fallen to his death, right. So, she quickly ran over to the window to see, when she saw my fleeting back, she felt a sudden sweetness in her heart. She smiled meaningfully and muttered to herself, is there a need to be so happy?
I ran all the way to the school gate, then rushed in after seeing a flower shop.
“This student, do you want to buy flowers?” said a chubby old man towards me.
“Yes, shop owner!” I said with a pant. With my current body condition, I didn’t use up any stamina to ran, the reason I was panting was because I was too worked up!
“Hehe, for your girlfriend?” The chubby old man asked with a chuckle.
“Yeah… Kind of,” I wasn’t sure what sort of relationship I currently had with Zhao Yanyan.
“Oh, then that means you didn’t get her yet?” The chubby old man smiled. “Then buy roses, you can buy 1, 11 or 99. Of course, that would depend on your economic ability, the effects are pretty much the same.”
Hehe, this old man is really interesting, there’s actually someone that runs a business like him, he actually told me the effects were pretty much the same! Just what other shop owners wouldn’t want to sell more!
Thus, I smiled, “Then I’ll have 99, help me package it please!”
“No problem,” The chubby old man swiftly took out 99 roses from the bucket, placed it on the wrapping paper, and then poured a bit of glitter-like decoration on it and bundled it all together. Then he asked, “Do you want to leave a message?”
“No need, thank you Chubby Uncle, how much is it?” I received the flowers and asked in satisfaction.
“99 kuai,” replied the chubby owner.
I handed him a hundred kuai note, and wanted to say that there’s no need for the change. However, I felt like it would make it seem like it was out of pity, so I didn’t. That’s because this Chubby Uncle was rather nice, and the flower wasn’t expensive.
The chubby owner handed me a one yuan coin, which I casually tossed into the donation box at the school gate for the students in poverty.
I didn’t care that it was lesson time, and directly rushed into the classroom with flowers. When I saw that it was still Professor Dong’s lesson, I instantly let out a sigh of relief, greeted him, then returned to my seat.
Seeing that I brought a bouquet of flowers in, the entire class couldn’t help but sigh. However, since I acted rather amazingly normally, and they saw that the professor didn’t have any issues with it, they didn’t say anything.
Yet, Zhao Yanyan seemed like she was burning up, her face was bright red, even redder than a tomato.
“For you!” I handed the flowers to Zhao Yanyan.
This is way too awkward, Zhao Yanyan thought to herself. Originally, she didn’t plan on receiving it, but then she thought of how Liu Lei’s action would be even more awkward if she didn’t take it! Thus, she quickly grabbed the flowers and put it underneath the table, then said angrily, “Who told you to buy flowers!”
“You!” I smiled.
“… But I didn’t tell you to go right now! I really got screwed by you!” Zhao Yanyan dipped her head in embarrassment and said.
“It’s alright, since everyone knows about our relationship…” I chuckled.
“Who has any relationship with you!” Zhao Yanyan turned around, ignored me and started to read her textbook.
Seeing Zhao Yanyan’s appearance, I couldn’t be happier. Hehe, don’t think that I don’t know, you are pretending to read the book full heartedly, but you haven’t flipped a page in so long.
As my happy life started, trouble came again, causing me to couldn’t help but leave my darling Yanyan for a while.
The situation was like this, after class that day, just as I escorted Zhao Yanyan back to her dorm, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Chen Weier.
“Weier, what happened?” I asked.
“Hubby, something happened at home. My mom just called me and told me that dad got taken away!” Chen Weier said anxiously.
“Taken away? Who took him away?” My first reaction was – could it be a kidnapping for ransom? That was because Chen Weier’s family had already gotten richer with Mother Chen’s restaurant, they probably managed to save up a million or so.
“It’s the police.”
Hearing that, I let out a sigh of relief, it’s easy to deal with as long as it’s not a kidnapping. Thus, I asked, “Why di the police arrest your dad?”
“My mom didn’t say it clearly, but the basic premise if that my dad hit someone… What should we do!” Chen Weier said anxiously.
“Don’t get worked up, where are you, I’ll go over to find you immediately. If it can’t be helped, then I’ll go back with you!’ I said.
“I’m at the school gate!” said Chen Weier.
“Okay, wait for me, I’ll be there immediately, “I said. Then I explained to Zhao Yanyan rashly, telling her that I had something urgent to take care of, so I have to leave now.
