章 3: Liu Shishi
編集者: Atlas Studios
Under Yang Kai's urging countless times, Li An finally got out of the bus and stood at the door of the Suyuan Hotel. He glanced around but did not see his friend, so he sent a WeChat message.
Dark Spear: Where are you? Why don't I see you?
Idiot Kai: Eh? Dog An, you're here. Don't worry, I still have a stop to go. Arriving soon.
Li An sighed. He did not expect that he would lose today!
Thinking back carefully, in his previous life… let's call it his previous life for the time being.
In his previous life, it seemed that Li An had wanted to take a taxi to pick up Liu Shishi and had been waiting at the entrance of the restaurant at 9 PM after being rejected. His goddess would not come until about 11 PM.
Li An glanced at the time on his phone. It was 11:02 PM.
At this moment, Li An saw a bus stop. Then, a beautiful figure got out of the bus and walked over elegantly.
She was holding a handbag and wearing a white dress. There were some purple flowers on the dress, making it look less plain. The girl had shoulder-length hair, an oval face, and a pair of lively phoenix eyes. Her eyebrows were picturesque, her facial features were exquisite, and her face was bare. She exuded a pure aura, like the girl in one's first love.
With just a glance, it made one's heart palpitate.
Li An watched her approach in a daze. Her figure seemed to have overlapped with the person in his previous life.
"I'm sorry, did you wait long?" After walking closer, Liu Shishi said to Li An apologetically.
Li An returned to his senses and shook his head. "No, I just arrived."
After saying that, Li An smiled because this was the same conversation in his previous life.
Girls were sensitive to begin with. Liu Shishi felt that Li An had waited for a long time and only said this in front of her without letting her feel guilty. However, this smile made her feel strange.
There seemed to be a sense of relief?
Was it an illusion?
Liu Shishi did not think too much about it and said, "Then let's go in?"
Li An said politely, "Go in first. I'll wait for Kai."
Liu Shishi was stunned. Of course, she knew that the Kai he spoke of was Yang Kai. However, was he angry?
It seemed reasonable to be angry after making him wait for so long on a hot day, but…
She did not ask Li An to wait?
"Alright, I'll go in first." Liu Shishi thought gloomily. Then, she smiled distantly and walked into the restaurant.
After they left, Li An stood in the shadows at the door and could not help but sigh.
Liu Shishi was indeed still so beautiful. No wonder he had liked her for so long. It was no wonder so many people had a crush on her and secretly called her the school belle.
Moreover, he had never heard of any bad rumors about her. She was the kind of obedient student who worked hard and was also a top student.
The stop Yang Kai spoke of seemed to be really one stop. Before long, a tall and burly young man in a basketball uniform got off the bus. He smiled and walked over to hook his arm around Li An's shoulder, "It doesn't make sense. You actually waited for me at the door?"
"Hmph, do you think everyone is like you? I said that I'll wait for you!" Li An rolled his eyes. In fact, he did not want to go in with Liu Shishi and cause a misunderstanding.
"This doesn't make sense!" Yang Kai knew his friend well and felt quite puzzled.
"It's so hot. Go away!" Li An moved Yang Kai's hand away from his neck in disdain. So what if he was tall?!
Yang Kai did not mind. The two of them walked into the restaurant together and arrived on the second floor, Room 203.
"Hey, Kai is here!"
"Dog An, you're finally here! I'll punish you with two glasses later!"
...
There were three tables in the private room, and many students had already arrived. The boys chatted loudly and bragged, and the girls sat together and chatted. The atmosphere was very happy.
To be honest, Li An already felt that the classmates who usually had an ordinary relationship and did not have much presence were a little unfamiliar to him. After all, he had not seen them for five years and might not even remember some of their names.
However, although he did not remember the names, he basically still had an impression of the nicknames, so he did not feel unfamiliar when chatting. Soon, he mixed into the group of male compatriots.
Liu Shishi sat at the girl's table and glanced at Li An. Seeing that he did not even look over after entering, she immediately knew that he was probably angry. However, she did not think too much about it and continued to whisper to her best friend.
"Dog An, you're good. You actually got into East River University!" a short boy said sourly.
"Tsk, isn't this a piece of cake?!" Li An was proud of himself and felt a little afraid. If he had returned two months earlier, he would have been finished. He probably would not have even been able to get into the top three.
East River University was a considerably good school, and Li An's results two months ago were still lingering on the fringe. No one expected that two months of hard work would really allow him to enter the same university as Liu Shishi.
"This is probably the power of love!" another boy mocked, and then everyone began to boo.
"Hey, Liu Shishi is over there. Aren't you going to chat?" a boy suggested, and then the group of people began to cheer.
Liu Shishi heard her name and wanted to pretend not to hear it, but the commotion was too loud and her best friend was reminding her, so she glanced over.
Li An could not help but turn his head and look at her. At this moment, awkward memories began to bubble again.
It seemed to have been the same in his previous life. He was pressured by his classmates and had yet to drink before he mustered his courage to go over. In the end, it got awkward after chatting for a while. In the end, he blushed and retreated amidst the laughter of his female classmates.
Later on…
Later on, he seemed to have fought with someone?
Li An turned around and searched the students beside him with his eyes. Then, he paused on an arrogant but unnatural smile.
Zhang Xun's family seemed to be quite rich. He was also Liu Shishi's admirer, but his results were not good. In the end, he entered the literature branch of East River University, a third-rate branch.
Li An put away his thoughts and sneered, "Hmph, I'm afraid you'll hit me if I go over and chat."
"Why would I hit you?" a boy asked curiously.
"Wouldn't you be jealous that I'm flirting with the goddess?" Li An's gaze swept past everyone with a mocking smile.
Every boy here had some thoughts about Liu Shishi.
In their boring student life, a perfect girl like Liu Shishi had undoubtedly become an unattainable fantasy in their hearts, decorating their restless dreams.
She was the light that shone on their restless years.
However, they knew that it was impossible for their dream to come true, so they suppressed it in their hearts.
Although they encouraged others to take action and might have the intention to watch the show, if someone really succeeded, their hearts would probably ache for a few days.
