Chapter 2038: Chapter 1655: Coming Clean (Double-Length)

“Hey, Soda Water, you’re here.”

Lin Yuqing was standing prettily in front of JM First High School’s gate. Upon seeing Su Ran arrive, she flashed a sweet smile.

“Yuqing, I’m really sorry, something came up in between, and I forgot about your transfer. Feel free to punish me as you wish; today my time is all yours.”

Before Su Ran even got to Lin Yuqing, he confessed his guilt. He knew that resisting only made things worse, but confessing might show leniency. As long as he recognized his mistake, he was still a good comrade!

“I know all about it, as long as you’re okay, that’s what matters.”

Lin Yuqing took the initiative to link arms with Su Ran, speaking with concern, “Fortunately, you had moved, so you weren’t kidnapped. I heard the entire city’s police force was mobilized. When I heard about it, I was nearly scared to death.”

“It’s okay, they’ve all been caught. Awaiting them will be the harsh punishment of the law. It’s all fine now.”

Before Su Ran finished speaking, a faint “meow” rose from beneath his feet, and looking down, it turned out Little Black had followed him, watching with expectations. He bent down to scoop it up, affectionately saying, “Little Black, how did you follow me here? Come, let me hold you!”

“Soda Water, you’re playing favorites…”

Lin Yuqing looked at Little Black with longing, “I’m Little White, and it’s Little Black; I’ve never seen you treat me so well…”

“Meow~”

Little Black seemed to show off, raising its head towards Lin Yuqing.

“Yuqing, I didn’t expect you’d even get jealous of Little Black. Come, let’s go somewhere else; standing too long at the school gate isn’t a good look for you.”

Su Ran glanced around the school surroundings, feeling the strange looks from classmates. To high school students nowadays, dating was a trivial matter, but he had never experienced it before, making it somewhat unbearable. It was better to leave these troubles behind early.

“What’s the impact? They look at us like this because they envy me for having such an excellent boyfriend!”

Lin Yuqing clung closely to Su Ran, tugging at his shirt as they walked ahead, “Soda Water, come on, accompany me to explore the new campus.”

“Uh…”

Su Ran’s face flushed instantly from Lin Yuqing’s bold words. Feeling the pure fragrance emanating from Yuqing only made him stiff all over, his walking becoming uncoordinated. He whispered, “Yuqing, I, I’m a bit unused to this. Let’s keep a low profile…”

“Haha, look at you so scared. I’m not afraid; what are you afraid of? There’s not a single familiar classmate at this school. Let them say what they want; don’t pay them any mind. Plus, the more nervous you get, the more they like watching your drama. Just be calm, and everything will be fine!”

Lin Yuqing excitedly talked about everything regarding the new school beside Su Ran, utterly delighted.

Su Ran genuinely felt happy for Yuqing. With less than a hundred days left until the college entrance exams, he was worried that Yuqing wouldn’t adapt to the unfamiliar learning environment. Now his concerns seemed unfounded.

In such a joyous atmosphere, time flew by quickly, and before they knew it, an hour had passed. They strolled around the playground, where many couples were walking, and many sat back to back on the grass. Their presence was not seen as anything unusual.

“Yuqing, this school is really open. Don’t the teachers care?”

Su Ran genuinely couldn’t handle this environment, his heartbeat quickening, palms sweaty.

“I don’t know either. Once you get used to it, it’s not surprising anymore. Don’t be nervous, act normal, and they won’t pay attention to us.”

Lin Yuqing was also experiencing this for the first time. She herself was extremely nervous, tightly clutching Su Ran’s clothing, wanting to hide behind him.

“Yuqing, don’t just talk about me; you’re even more nervous than I am. Look, what did you do to my shirt?”

“Ah!”

Lin Yuqing quickly let go, running over to an empty spot and waving to Su Ran, “Soda Water, let’s sit here and chat~!”

“Okay.”

Su Ran walked over in large strides and sat beside Lin Yuqing, looking at the blue sky and immersing in this beautiful moment.

Little Black couldn’t enjoy this kind of atmosphere, jumping out of Su Ran’s arms, scanning the surroundings, and upon seeing no danger, lazily sprawled on the grass, closing its eyes.

“Soda Water, when will you be fully recovered?”

Lin Yuqing rested her head on Su Ran’s shoulder, softly saying, “I can hardly wait…”

“Can’t wait?”

Su Ran looked at Lin Yuqing with some surprise, “Why?”

“You’re already attracting a lot of attention now; I’m afraid by then, you won’t want me anymore…”

“How could that be? In this world, the last person I would let down, besides my parents, is you. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. Yuqing, thank you for never leaving my side.”

Su Ran hadn’t changed his mind, his tone filled with sincerity.

“Oh, Soda Water, are you confessing to me?”

Lin Yuqing’s eyes sparkled brightly, her face as red as a ripe apple.

“This is nothing; once I’m fully recovered, I’ll declare to the whole world that you’re mine and no one can take you away!”

Su Ran’s body was gradually healing, seeing the hope of living on, he finally expressed what was on his mind, releasing a heavy sigh of relief.
