Chapter 89 â School is Out (2)
Li Jinyuan took away her backpack with one hand, just like he had done that many times in the past with her previous bunny backpack.
He pursed his lips and tried hard to hide the unpleasantness in his eyes as he said softly, âHuanhuan, you canât date too early.â
Zhong Yuhuan couldnât help but chuckle, âThe younger brother wants to interfere with the older sisterâs affairs?â
âOf course,â said Li Jinyuan quickly.
Zhong Yuhuan turned and gave Li Jinyuan a closer look. His disposition has become more and more elegant. Each movement of his arm or leg exuded his attraction, no doubt a quality that he had gained through his experience from his shows.
Zhong Yuhuan asked, âWhat about you?â
âMe?â Li Jinyuan licked his lips and said softly, âI will, of course, not date early. I listen to the words of my big sister.â This was the first time he had referred to her as âbig sisterâ since a long time ago. He was already a young man who was much taller than her, but there was still a shred of whininess in his tone.
Zhong Yuhuan couldnât resist smiling. She shook her head. âI didnât say you canât date early. If thereâs a girl that you have your heart set on, go right ahead. But you must be a responsible boy, donât be like that Barbarian Nan.â
The Barbarian Nan she was talking about referred to Young Master Nan.
Hearing the two words âBarbarian Nanâ immediately reminded Li Jinyuan that Zhong Yuhuanâs betrothal was arranged when she was just a child between her and Barbarian Nan.
Li Jinyuan didnât look too happy ,but he immediately covered that up. He shook his head and said in a soft voice, âNo, I am not going to do that. Not interested.â
For someone of Li Jinyuanâs age, being fond of the opposite gender was quite normal. Hearing his words, Zhong Yuhuan couldnât help but asked curiously, âThen what is interesting?â
Li Jinyuan replied without hesitation, âEarning money for Huanhuan to spend. Be a more successful person so I can support Huanhuan in the future.â
Zhong Yuhuan couldnât help but chuckle.
Hearing that certainly made her happy.
It had further proven to her that she had made the right decision bringing them home with her.
Zhong Yuhuan smiled and said, âI already have more than enough money to spend.â
Li Jinyuan smiled and said, âItâs not the same.â
âEh? How is it not the same?â
Zhong Yuhuan looked at him quizzically, but Li Jinyuan had no intention to elaborate on that. He took one of her fingers in his hand and said, âToo crowded here. I donât want to get separated.â
What Zhong Yuhuan wanted to say was âwe are too old to get separatedâ, but she didnât voice that thought after all. He meant well, why ruin something nice?
So, instead, she muttered a âmmmâ softly.
When the two of them walked out of the school entrance, it had taken more than 10 minutes already.
It had just dawned on Zhong Yuhuan, âYou donât have work today?â
âWei-ge arranged a day off for me knowing that you have today off.â
Zhong Yuhuan smiled and said, âThatâs wonderful. Letâs go pick up Huo Chengming.â
Li Jinyuan suddenly went silent.
Eh?
Zhong Yuhuan turned her head and looked at him quizzically.
The moment that she turned to look at him was when he said, âOh, okay.â
Zhong Yuhuanâs phone rang right after that.
She took out her phone and took a look at the caller ID and couldnât help but chuckle, âSpeaking of the devil.â She answered the call and said, âHello?â
It was Huo Chengmingâs voice coming from the other end, âHuanhuan, have you left the school yet?â
âYeah, right outside the front door right now.â
âWait there, I will be right over.â
âHuh?â Zhong Yuhuan blinked quizzically.
Huo Chengming did not hang up the phone, neither did he talk anymore.
Zhong Yuhuan looked around the school and finally spotted a black BMW slowly approaching her and stopped right in front of the school.
Li Jinyuan hadnât said another word except to stare intently at the leaf that fell on top of Zhong Yuhuanâs shoulder.
He wanted to lift his hand and brush it off.
