Chapter 55: Han Ye and Zi Qi

  Ziqi bid farewell to the two of them, and ran alone to the swing chair in the courtyard, letting the cold autumn wind blow coldly on her exposed skin, piercing through to her bones...

  "It's so cold, why aren't you wearing a coat?" Then, a coat was draped over Ziqi's body.

  Get up, turn around, take off the overcoat and put it back in his hand: "Sorry, I don't need it!"

  Han Ye grabbed Zi Qi's hand, putting away his usual playful smile, and said seriously: "Running into each other outside the library was a coincidence; seeing you at your school could be considered a chance encounter; but now that I've seen you again, it proves that we have a destined connection."

  "Sir, are you joking? I'm Meng'er's friend and you're Canghai Da Ge's friend. Isn't it normal that we'll meet again? It's rare that you can connect this to fate!" A few sarcastic words came out of Zi Qi's mouth, completely devoid of any sharpness between the lines, but rather a flat and unremarkable statement of fact.

  "You're Meng'er's friend, I'm Jun's friend. Why don't we become boyfriend and girlfriend again? It's only fitting for our relationship to be like that! After all, it's 'thick and thin'!" Han Ye's face was stern, but his words still stubbornly refused to give up on being shameless.

  "Then I would feel sorry for myself!" Brushing off his hand, Zi Qi went back into the house.

  "Your book, don't you want it?" Only to see that stubborn figure pause for a moment, then continue walking.

  "Huh, Yu, am I seeing things? Our butterfly Han Da young master also has such a serious and infatuated gaze towards a little girl!" Just then, Jing Tianyu and Xiao Tong who had just come out from the other side overheard their conversation.

  "You didn't hear wrong!" Jing Tianyou confirmed Xiao Tong's words.

  "You... are really immoral!" Han Ye was somewhat annoyed at being seen in this state by them.

  "Hey, she seems different from those usual girls you hang out with!" Xiaotong still looked at her with a fujoshi expression. "Changed your taste?"

  "What about you guys?" Han Ye looked at their still clasped hands and sized them up from left to right.

  Xiao Tong saw the situation and immediately shook off Jing Tianyu's hand, saying awkwardly: "It's not what you think!" Later, as if suddenly remembering that they were supposed to ask him about his romantic history, he glared at him and continued asking: "What business do you have with us? Quickly tell us about your relationship with Little Loli from start to finish!"

  "A very special girl." Gazing up at the night sky, Han Ye's thoughts returned to that scene in the city.

  He was bored and driving through the city when he saw a girl squatting next to an old lady, with several books placed beside them. At first, he thought it was her grandmother, discussing something with her. But later, the girl left on her own, leaving the books behind.

  He rarely had a kind heart, parked the car and walked to the old lady's side, asking her in a low voice why her granddaughter didn't take care of her and left her alone. The old lady looked at him with confusion, then he pointed to the few books left there, and the old lady's cloudy eyes finally lit up.

  The old lady said that wasn't her granddaughter, she herself had forgotten the way home, so she sat there. The girl passing by asked what was wrong with her and then knew the whole story, now going to the town in front to find Uncle Police.

  It turned out to be so. Han Ye looked at the cover with the big words "Border Town" and smiled. Then, he took away several books printed with the municipal logo and got back on the bus.

  Through the car window, she saw that two police officers had really come with her. When she saw that the book next to her was gone, a hint of anxiety appeared on her face. Then, she saw the old lady pointing in his direction. However, when she ran to his car side, he shook the book in his hand and left without a trace.

  It wasn't intentional, but rather, he just happened to receive a call saying there was an emergency at the hospital. All that can be said is that it was intentional on his part, because he had a premonition that he would meet her. And now, it has come true...

  "I think he's going to be in trouble this time!" Xiaotong said, looking at Han Ye as he spoke to Qingtianyu.

  "Yeah, I have the same feeling!" With that, the two of them walked into the house, seemingly discussing his situation as they went.

  Looking at the four-season begonia flowers surrounding the small fountain in front of him, he thought of her wearing a white casual outfit, with long black hair hanging straight down, gentle and elegant, like a pot of hidden valley orchid.

  Taking a deep breath, he put on his jacket and returned to the house. To his surprise, she was smiling brightly at Geng Yan. He walked over in a few strides, "Hey, what's so funny?"

  Geng Yan saw it was Han Ye and said straightforwardly: "I just mentioned the embarrassing things that happened to me during training!"

  "Xiao Yan is quite good, knows how to make girls happy!" Han Ye teased Xing Yan, but his eyes were on Zi Qi, who had lost her smile since he arrived.

  "You guys chat, I'll go see Meng Er for a bit!" With that, he left.

  "Xiao Yan, do you know her?"

  "I don't know, we just started chatting, a very quiet girl. She's Meng'er's roommate, Han Ge, do you want to get to know her?" Then he suggested, "You can directly find Meng'er!"

  Han Ye thought, I'm looking for Meng Er, isn't that equivalent to looking for trouble? But he didn't go look for her, she came knocking on his door instead.

  "Hey, Brother Han, didn't you pick up a few books at the plaza outside the library gate recently?" Meng'er got straight to the point as soon as she arrived, not giving Han Ye any chance to speak. "If you picked them up, you should return them to their owner, right? You, Young Master Han, aren't lacking those few books either, are you?"

  "Meng'er, you call me Ge and your tone is so bad?"

  "Who told you to take away the book that belongs to my friend? The return deadline is almost here, she's getting anxious!" Meng Er said to Han Ye, exaggerating. "Return the book quickly!"

  "Returning the book is fine too, give me your friend's phone number!" Han Ye said to Meng Er with a mischievous grin.

  Then a figure blocked in front of Meng Er: "Put away that face, she's my person!" Yan Yibao's voice cut in, and Meng Er was speechless.

  "Uh, brother, you misunderstood. I was mainly asking your girlfriend for her good friend's phone number!" Han Ye explained to the great god who had inserted himself between them.

  "Fine, go ask yourself then!" Then, only Han Ye was left staring blankly at their backs. Finally, having no choice, he ran to his gang of friends. "Hey, I've got my eyes on a girl now, just waiting for your support!"

  "How can we support?" asked Cang Hai Jun first.

  "Good, this question is well asked!" Han Ye continued shamelessly. "Actually it's not difficult, buying Meng Er just needs to get the number and that's all!"

  Then, Han Ye ended the dinner party under the contempt of many people...
