When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?

With only fifteen minutes left before the start of the morning self-study, there were already quite a few students lined up at the access control spot swiping their cards.

Jiang Shuyao was feeling anxious as she saw the boy's relentless demeanor and had no choice but to resort to her ultimate weapon since childhood.

Surrender to him.

Her eyes, filled with earnestness, she attempted to explain, "I've just transferred here, and I need to keep a low profile in my behavior and actions. You're so popular, and if I get too close to you, everyone's attention will focus on me. You know, I've never liked receiving too much attention from others; it affects my studies."

Pei Yan patiently listened to her until the end. Due to their height difference, he had to look down to see her fluttering eyelashes, which nearly allowed him to absorb all of her facial emotions.

Whether it was genuine or just a delaying tactic, Pei Yan clearly understood that as long as his little childhood friend went on tangents with soft and mellows voice, no matter how big the issue, he wouldn't hold it against her.

The little scoundrel remained silent the whole time, and Jiang Shuyao couldn't be sure whether he believed her or not.

Anyway, her words were from the heart, although she was just stating facts, she had also subtly taken into account someone's pride.

From this, Pei Yan also caught on and, with his arms folded across his chest, asked her with interest, "Why do you have such a misconception, thinking that I'm so 'popular' in Yunzhong?"

Jiang Shuyao blinked and looked at him, wondering if he didn't have a clue about his status in the school.

During the standoff between the two, she silently took a step back without showing any trace.

Someone stood there expressionless, silently watching her retreat further and further away.

Until the girl's distance from him exceeded five meters, Pei Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Jiang Shuyao," he called out her full name.

"Don't listen to that classmate of yours spouting nonsense. I've been at Yunzhong for many years and haven't done anything that bullies men or domineers over women. If you don't believe it, you can ask around."

...Jiang Shuyao felt like crying.

How did he know Tang Xing had enlightened her on these matters? His ears, were they radar?

Moreover, the little scoundrel's mysterious confidence truly inherited his father's through and through.

Uncle Pei got to his position today relying on confidence, but the little scoundrel… it's a bit iffy.

Time was not early, and Jiang Shuyao worried about being late, so she plucked up the courage to say, "I won't listen to one-sided stories. As long as you behave properly, occasionally, I am still willing to walk with you."

After finishing, without waiting for Pei Yan's reaction, the girl turned around and ran off, her blue and white school uniform quickly blending into the dense crowd of students, as though a fish returning to the sea, joyously indeed.

A long time passed.

Her every word still echoed in his mind, making a certain school bigwig suddenly feel a sense of despair.

What exactly did he need to do for her to believe he was a good person?

Not far away, three boys, arm in arm, approached. "Brother Yan, good morning."

The security guard thought to himself: Good morning my ass, the bell's been ringing for twenty minutes, a bunch of second-generation rich kids.

Seeing the boss staring thoughtfully towards the school gate, Chen Jin waved his hand in front of his face, "Brother Yan, you taking the main gate today?"

Immediately, Xu Kanfeng's laughter followed, "Take the main gate? Waiting to get your card swiped and points deducted?"

They didn't know that actually, Brother Yan had the chance not to be late; he had stubbornly stood outside for nearly half an hour, contemplating how to be a good person.

"You guys go over the wall, I'll swipe my card."

Spurt.

Their laughter could hardly be contained as they saw him walk towards the access control point with long strides.

"Holy shit, Brother Yan's got a ghost in him today," Xu Kanfeng rubbed his eyes hard, in disbelief.

Chen Jin quickly asked, "What about us, swipe the card or climb the wall?"

"Get ready, let's climb the wall."

The two looked dazedly towards He Qingzhou.

Heh, look at what.

Brother Yan didn't even bring his school card, what's there to swipe.
