Chapter 54.2: Stars

It was only after Cen Ning had completely disappeared did Yan Xingzhi start the car and prepared to leave.

Just then, the phone rang.

Yan Xingzhi glanced at the caller ID and answered it.

“Hello.”

“Brother Xingzhi.”

“Mhm, what’s the matter?”

“About yesterday’s news… Sorry.”

Yan Xingzhi calmly looked ahead with a slightly indifferent expression. “It’s okay.”

In the evening, Cen Ning was in the classroom.

Halfway through her class, her phone vibrated suddenly. She glanced at the teacher and secretly took out her phone to take a look.

[I’m at your school]

Cen Ning paused for a moment and replied to him. [I have classes in the evening too. Didn’t we agree that I will live on campus today?]

Yan Xingzhi: [I know, but I don’t want you to live on campus at night, I’ll pick you up]

The corner of Cen Ning’s mouth rose, but she tried her best to suppress it because she was afraid that others would see it. [Are you at school now? There is still a short period before the class is over.]

[It’s okay, which building are you in?]

After Cen Ning sent the address to him, the teacher on the podium just happened to tap on the blackboard. Cen Ning hurriedly stuffed her phone back into the drawer and concentrated on listening to the class.

Twenty minutes later, the first half of class ended.

Cen Ning got up from her seat, took out her phone, and called Yan Xingzhi.

“Hello.”

Yan Xingzhi: “Class is over?”

Cen Ning: “Not yet. There is one more period.”

“Mhm.”

“Where are you?”

“The corridor outside your classroom.”

“Ah… wait a minute.”

Cen Ning hung up the phone and hurriedly ran out of the classroom. She looked around, and finally saw Yan Xingzhi standing in the corridor not far away… But why were there a few girls beside him?

Cen Ning blinked, hesitated for a while, and stepped forward.

“Ningning.”

Cen Ning looked at Yan Xingzhi who raised his eyes to look at her, and then at the girls beside them. “Mhm… are these your friends?”

Yan Xingzhi couldn’t help but laugh: “I came to find you, not to find friends.”

Cen Ning reacted belatedly. Just when she felt that she should say something, the girls looked at each other awkwardly, then turned and left silently.

“He’s waiting for his girlfriend.”

“Let’s go, let’s go……”

“Hey, that’s Cen Ning from the class next door.”

“He turned out to be her boyfriend…”

“Wooo, it’s not easy to see such a handsome guy at our school!”

…

After the girls left, Yan Xingzhi coughed softly. “I don’t know them.”

Cen Ning glanced at the girls walking away, and said, “Xingzhi Gege, you are welcome wherever you want to go.”

Yan Xingzhi knocked on her head. “What are you thinking?”

Cen Ning raised her face that had an obedient expression on it, however there was a sense of playfulness. It was as if she was watching a play. “Did they ask for your number?”

When Cen Ning said this, she approached him slightly, as if she wanted to observe his expression. But Yan Xingzhi held her hand in his palm instead. “What do you think?”

“I think they wanted it, and then… You didn’t give it to them.”

Yan Xingzhi looked at her rarely seen cunning appearance. He was a little dazed, and only asked after a long time. “So sure?”

Cen Ning: “Mhm… if you gave it to everyone, then your phone will be lively.”

**

The two of them didn’t talk for long before the class bell rang again. Cen Ning thought that it would not be good for Yan Xingzhi to stand outside for a class, so she took him into the classroom to sit next to her.

“Hi, Mr. Yan.” While sitting next to Cen Ning, Chen Miao looked surprised. “Wow, you are really showing off like this.”
