Chapter 294: I’m Here to Pick Up My Girlfriend

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment the call connected, Xue Yao saw a handsome face.

Her pupils shrank. Just as she was about to take a closer look at who it was, her phone was snatched away. She turned around and saw Xue Xi quickly snatching the phone from behind and returning it to Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang looked at Xue Yao warily.

However, she was already rooted to the ground in shock. She felt that the face she had glimpsed just now was a little familiar. Why did it look like Cen Bai?

No, how could it be Cen Bai?

She must have seen wrongly.

She looked at Qin Shuang again. If Qin Shuang’s relationship with Cen Bai was really that good, Cen Bai could simply bring her into the entertainment industry and that would be that. Why did she have to work so hard to get into the Capital Film Academy?

Hence, she must have seen wrongly.

Qin Shuang was already glaring at her. “Xue Yao, didn’t your family tell you not to touch other people’s things? Why are you so low class?”

Low class?

Xue Yao was furious. “Are you that good? Ha, all you think about are male celebrities with girlfriends. I really don’t know if I should say that you’re shameless or that you’re overestimating yourself!”

Qin Shuang had never lost when it came to berating others. Moreover, Xue Yao’s words did not pose any threat to her at all. She sneered and said, “What about you? Have you settled things with your fiancé? Weren’t you still quarreling yesterday?”

Xue Yao was infuriated by these words. She felt as though her breath was stuck in her chest and she could not breathe.

Ever since Li Hanlei had left the class, no one else had spoken up for her. She was filled with grievances and resentment, but she had nowhere to vent it. Hence, she became ferocious and disregarded her image.

At this moment, Qin Shuang’s words made her look at Fan Han in the first row.

However, she saw that Fan Han did not even look at her and was doing his questions with his head lowered, as though he did not notice what was happening behind him. She was instantly infuriated.

Fan Han had chased after her yesterday and had spoken to her impatiently. He even said that if she minded, he would call off the engagement.

Men were indeed all the same. They were heartless.

Xue Yao took a deep breath and ignored Qin Shuang. She continued to distribute the papers.

However, she did not see that Fan Han was wearing earphones and was listening to a loud English recording. He did not hear what was happening around him.

…

After Xue Yao’s interference, Qin Shuang did not video call Cen Bai. Instead, she sent him a message and said good morning before immersing herself in the examination.

In the following days, Gao Yanchen’s leg injury, which was only an external injury and was not serious, healed after about a week.

At the end of the month, it became clear that Xue Xi was undoubtedly the first in the level.

Meanwhile, Qin Shuang’s results were also steadily rising. After all, with her foundation, she had already entered the top hundred of her age. If she maintained it, she should be able to steadily enter the Capital Film and Television Academy.

Even Little Flame had improved. From being the first from the bottom to being a serious scholar, he seemed to have improved by 100 ranks.

However, there was still a huge gap between them and Huaxia University.

Many people persuaded him to give up. There were only five months left and that was really not enough. However, Gao Yanchen was as stubborn as his red hair.

Only by working hard would he not regret it.

The days passed peacefully. When it was almost the end of the year, the first- and second-year students in the school were all on winter vacation. Only the third-year students were struggling bitterly and were only allowed to have a vacation when it was the 28th.

On the day of the break, the form teacher, Old Liu, rode his old bicycle to the classroom and gave the students a break. What he meant was that the college entrance examination was in less than five months and that they must not play around during the winter break.

After class in the morning, he gave them leave.

The students ran out excitedly. Soon, only Xue Xi and Qin Shuang were left in the classroom. When they were packing their bags, Xue Xi’s book fell to the ground.

Both she and Qin Shuang bent down at the same time and lowered their heads to pick it up.

Both of them touched the book and looked at each other from under the desk. They smiled and were about to stand up when they heard footsteps. The door was closed.

Fan Han’s voice was filled with fatigue. “Xue Yao, what are you doing?”

Xue Yao was much gloomier than before. Recently, she had been eccentric at school, but now, she tugged at Fan Han and pleaded, “Fan Han, can we not renege on the marriage? I’ll change in the future, alright? If you break off the marriage with me, my reputation will be ruined!”

Fan Han sighed. “That’s why I asked you to withdraw the marriage and push the blame on me. You can say that I’m not considerate and that I have a bad temper. I’ve given you so much time, but why hasn’t your family come to my house?”

Xue Yao said, “I won’t call off the marriage arrangement!”

Fan Han rubbed his temples. “Xue Yao, don’t be so stubborn. I’m already too disappointed in you. If your family doesn’t come to my house before the new year, I would suggest calling off the engagement. I’ve already given you enough time.”

Xue Yao went crazy and shouted, “Fan Han! You won’t even let our family survive the year? How can you be so heartless?!”

Fan Han did not speak and wanted to leave.

Xue Yao suddenly grabbed him and pressed his hand on her body. She even kissed him. “Fan Han, Fan Han, I beg you. Don’t break off the engagement. I like you…”

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Fan Han had already pushed her away. “Don’t be like this. If you do this, others will only look down on you.”

Xue Yao was stunned.

Only then did Fan Han take a step back and open the door. However, he stopped in his tracks. “Xue Yao, seeing that we’ve been friends for so many years, I’ll give you until the 16th of January. If you do not announce it by then, I’ll tell my parents.”

After saying this, he left the classroom.

Xue Yao was crying bitterly in the classroom. Her sobs echoed throughout the entire classroom.

The crying made Qin Shuang and Xue Xi, who had been squatting on the ground and had not stood up, feel a little awkward.

The two of them had originally intended to stand up, but the subject of their talk was too explosive and did not give them any time.

Hence, the two of them could only squat there and wait for them to leave before leaving.

Qin Shuang and Xue Xi looked at each other and communicated silently.

Qin Shuang: “Sister Xi, do you want to stand up and humiliate her?”

Xue Xi: “… Not interested.”

Qin Shuang: “Forget it, then. It’s quite awkward.”

Xue Xi: “… Mhm.”

Just as the two of them were about to continue squatting, Qin Shuang’s phone suddenly rang. In her panic, she took out her phone from the drawer and hung up.

This commotion made Xue Yao stand up. “Who’s there?”

Xue Xi and Qin Shuang stood up helplessly.

As the two of them were feeling at a loss, Xue Yao saw them and recalled her words and actions just now. She was so angry that she started shouting, “It’s you guys again! Did you guys purposely stay here to watch me make a fool of myself?!”

Qin Shuang: “… Sorry, we’re not in the habit of listening to others. It’s just that you guys were too abrupt and didn’t give us time to leave. ”

Xue Yao’s heart was filled with pain and she had nowhere to vent it. Seeing them, she continued to shout, “Xue Xi, are you very happy to see me like this?! I’m the eldest daughter of the Xue family. Why must you snatch everything that belongs to me the moment you come?! I hate you to death!”

Xue Xi was not good at arguing with others, but Qin Shuang would not let Xue Xi be at a disadvantage. She sneered. “Your words are really interesting. It was clearly you who snatched Sister Xi’s marriage contract and occupied the identity of the Xue family’s young mistress. You really know how to twist the truth!”

Xue Yao was so angry that she wanted to rush over and hit them, but her rationality told her that these two people in front of her were not to be trifled with.

She stomped her feet in anger. “Qin Shuang, why are you everywhere?! Who do you think you are? No matter how downtrodden I am, I’m still the daughter of the Xue family. I’m better than you who’s been chased out of your own house! You don’t have a father and mother who love you. What right do you have to mock me here?!”

Qin Shuang’s heart ached when she was hit with those words. She said angrily, “Xue Yao, if it weren’t for the fact that you were rejected today and your mind is not clear, I would have beaten you up long ago! You’d better pay more attention to what you say!”

Unfortunately, Xue Yao was on the verge of rage. How could she listen to her?

She smiled. “Are you pitying me? What right do you have to pity me? Who do you think you are, Qin Shuang?! I had a fiancé before, but what about you? Qin Shuang, do you want me to remind you again? Your idol, your husband, Cen Bai, already has a girlfriend! Moreover, he even made an official announcement! If I work hard, I can still leave Fan Han behind. There’s still hope for me, but what about you? You have no hope at all! You are destined to be alone for the rest of your life! No one will love you!

“What’s the use of fighting so hard? You won’t be able to catch up to Cen Bai in this life, your next life, and your next life! You’ve been slacking all this time and now you’re expecting all the rewards?!”

Qin Shuang was infuriated by her and felt that this person was simply crazy.

Just as she was about to say something, there was suddenly a knock on the classroom door. Immediately, a tall man wearing a baseball cap and a mask pushed open the door and walked in. The moment he entered, the classroom seemed to become shrouded in a layer of light. He said in a pleasant voice, “Sorry, I heard you mention my name, so I couldn’t help but come in to disturb you.”

Xue Yao: “?”

She was stunned and could not help but ask, “Who are you?”

This familiar figure and familiar voice, plus the meaning of his words, could it be…

As she thought this, she saw the man taking off his mask and baseball cap.

Under his neat short hair, the man’s stunning face was revealed. He smiled gently and said, “I’m here to fetch my girlfriend for her winter vacation.”

“…”
