Chapter 51: Sooner or Later

Chatting as they walked, the two completely forgot certain matters. "Fox, let's go!" When they arrived at the student union, they realized the stinky fox had made the whole thing up, and as for his motive, he knew without being told.

"Oh, wait a minute, Chenjing hasn't arrived yet!" The grand finale had not yet taken place; how could they leave? No, absolutely not!

"Are you sure Chenjing is coming, and not...?" These words startled him from his dream. Zhu Yansheng abruptly stood up, pulled him along, and sprinted away, leaving the student union members in the room staring at each other in bewilderment. What were these two prominent campus seniors here for anyway?

"What the hell, would you stop already? What kind of madness are you having again?" Zhao Ziqian panted. Running back and forth across the school all day long, what was the point of it all?

"Idiot Zhao, hurry up, let's go." Given Chenjing's personality, upon receiving the little beauty he would definitely turn tail and leave immediately; he certainly, definitely wouldn't notify them.

"Where to?" Damn it, he felt like blowing his top.

"The school gate." Chu Yitong only had two classes in the morning, and by calculation of time, they had most likely already left the school. Now they could only try their luck; maybe they would run into them at the gate.

The two sprinting figures finally spotted Xie Chenjing, who was getting ready to get into a car outside the school gate. Zhu Yansheng hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Chenjing!"

Hearing the shout, Xie Chenjing looked in the direction of the voice, paused, stood in place, and eyed the two panting figures: "Something the matter?"

"You, you, how could you slip away? Where's the little beauty?" As Zhu Yansheng spoke, he scanned his surroundings incessantly.

Zhao Ziqian tugged at him, thinking this guy was really courting death, and quickly changed the subject: "Chenjing, let's get together when you have time. We'll be off first!"

"Alright, let's get together another day!" Xie Chenjing cast a half-smile at Zhu Yansheng: "Yansheng?"

"Oh, oh, cough~" He raised a hand to cover his mouth, his gaze locking onto the front passenger seat inside the car, and smiled sneakily: "Let's get together another day, another day!"

Sitting inside the car, Chu Yitong hesitated for a moment. Just as they were about to leave, she opened the door, stepped out, and greeted them: "Hello!"

"Ah, ah, haha, hello, hello!" Zhu Yansheng leaned in close to Zhao Ziqian and whispered, "Idiot, just as I expected."

"Hello, hello!" Zhao Ziqian replied, then glanced sideways in a certain direction: "Fox, I advise you not to stare."

"Er~" Their objective achieved, it was best to bolt early to avoid getting caught in the crossfire: "Chenjing, we're heading out first. Don't forget our get-together another day!" After taking two steps, he turned back to add: "Remember to bring the little beauty!"

The corners of Zhao Ziqian's mouth twitched unnaturally a few times. Who was the real idiot here? He glanced indifferently at Chu Yitong, then turned and walked toward his own car.

"They are...?" Earlier, he had briefly explained their backgrounds to her—both the Zhu and Zhao families were among the top conglomerates in the country, and they were the future heirs. How could they act like this? Cough, it really didn't match their status!

"You'll find out in the future!" Xie Chenjing opened the car door. After waiting for her to sit comfortably, he closed it, walked over to the driver's seat, suddenly leaned across toward her, and fastened her seatbelt: "Tomorrow is the weekend?"

"Huh? I suppose so..." His action momentarily dazed her. She had been resting at home for too long and had completely forgotten about the weekend.

"Let's invite them to get together with us another day!" If he didn't take the initiative, goodness knows what kind of antics those two would pull. Thinking of this, he couldn't help smiling.

"I'm going too?" They were his friends, so it didn't really have much to do with her, did it?

"You'll have to get to know them sooner or later." Perhaps he still needed a little time, but the feeling was impossible to ignore, especially since that thought had been buried deep in his heart for many years.
