257: Chapter 256: Meeting Zhao Yuqing Again【Second Update】 257: Chapter 256: Meeting Zhao Yuqing Again【Second Update】 After settling on the idea of taking a trip to Lingnan, Li Chen headed straight to school to bid farewell to Ye Chuxue before setting off.

Upon seeing Ye Chuxue, Li Chen got right to the point.

“Xue’er, I’m going to be traveling far for a few days!”

Ye Chuxue fluttered her beautiful big eyes and asked, “Where to?”

Li Chen said, “Lingnan!”

Ye Chuxue curiously asked, “Why suddenly go to Lingnan for no reason?”

Li Chen thought for a moment and casually replied, “To catch mudskippers and pick Guoguo!”

Ye Chuxue was momentarily stunned by his response, but then it dawned on her that for someone like Li Chen, even a massive creature like the Jade Golden Toad was merely a toad in his eyes.

So the mudskippers and Guoguo he mentioned must be extraordinary as well.

With this in mind, she asked with concern, “Is it dangerous?”

Li Chen waved his hand dismissively and said with a breezy smile, “Not at all, and who do you think your future husband is?

How could there be any danger?”

Ye Chuxue’s pretty face blushed, and she rolled her eyes at Li Chen, playfully chastising, “Cut it out, so full of yourself!”

For the next half hour, Ye Chuxue continued offering advice.

Her admonishments fell into two categories: one was definitely to be cautious and so forth.

The other was to subtly remind Li Chen that when traveling alone, he shouldn’t think about wandering off the path.

She almost took him to the edge of the village and passionately sang, “Don’t pick the wildflowers by the roadside.”

Of course, Li Chen agreed to everything readily.

As they were about to part ways, Ye Chuxue suddenly tiptoed up like a dragonfly skimming the water and kissed Li Chen lightly on the lips.

Then, before Li Chen could even react, she blushed and ran back to the classroom.

Li Chen licked his lips, his eyes twinkling with amusement, as if savoring the moment.

He stood quietly in the same spot for another five minutes before turning and leaving.

When Li Chen finally left, Ye Chuxue dared to peek out slightly, watching his figure disappear at the end of her sight.

She clenched her fists tightly, her lips pressed gently together, and whispered to herself softly, “Brother Li Chen, you are so outstanding, what can I do to catch up with you?”

…

After leaving the school, Li Chen headed straight for the bus station.

Driving himself was too conspicuous, and the high-speed train didn’t go directly to Lingnan, so the bus was unquestionably his best option.

As Li Chen was about to board the bus, a familiar figure caught his eye.

Zhao Yuqing, what is she doing here?

She seemed to be looking around for someone.

Just as Li Chen was about to greet her, he suddenly saw a BMW X5 pull up smoothly in front of her.

Following that, the car door opened, and a fairly handsome young man, holding ninety-nine bright roses, walked straight towards Zhao Yuqing.

“Yuqing, since the first moment I saw you, I deeply fell in love with you.

Your smile, like a clear spring, flows with a pure love washing sweetly over my heart, touching the nirvana of my love.

Loving you is my greatest choice, an everlasting vow.”

“Yuqing, give me a chance to love you, be my girlfriend?”

Seeing the confession, the nearby pedestrians all gathered around.

“I’m sorry, Du Feng, I already like someone else; I can’t accept your confession!”

Zhao Yuqing smiled graciously and elegantly turned down the young man’s advances.

The man, called Du Feng, seemed a bit annoyed after hearing Zhao Yuqing’s words.

“Yuqing, wake up, he clearly doesn’t like you.

Otherwise, why haven’t you seen him come to find you even though you’ve been here at the bus station for nearly half a month?”

“How could a man who loves you let you, a girl, endure being so lonely and battered by the weather?”

Hearing Du Feng’s words, a shadow of sadness appeared in Zhao Yuqing’s bright eyes.

Indeed, even if she found him, what could it change?

He already has someone he likes; he couldn’t possibly accept her too.

But Zhao Yuqing couldn’t suppress the impulse to see him.

She had once knelt devoutly in front of Buddha, praying that as long as she could see him again, even from afar, it would be enough.

Unfortunately, heaven did not pity her, and such a small wish was not granted by Buddha.

After parting with Li Chen, she found herself inexplicably coming to the bus station where they first met.

At dawn, she arrived here full of hope, facing the rising sun.

Not until late into the night did she eat some hard bread, returning with disappointment.

It can be said that her footprints were left everywhere at this bus station.

Waiting in hope, leaving in disappointment.

Two days ago, Donghua was drizzled with light rain.

Now that it is October, each autumn rain brings chill.

The cold rain hit her body, making her shiver.

In that moment, she wished he could appear, just like last time, holding her hand, telling her not to fear, he was there!

Unfortunately, heaven pitied her once but not this second time.

That time, she, who thought her tears had dried up, crouched in the rain of Jiangnan, crying till midnight.

She had planned to leave, but with the vast world before her, she didn’t know where to go.

Born motherless and recently estranged from her father, she was like a branch severed from the trunk, a duckweed without roots.

Apart from that graceful figure, she couldn’t think of anything else in this world worth her longing.

Seeing Zhao Yuqing’s sorrowful expression, Du Feng instinctively raised his voice a notch.

“Yuqing, give me a chance to love you, will you?”

He, too overcome by emotion, even prepared to step forward, forcefully trying to put the rose into Zhao Yuqing’s hands.

Zhao Yuqing was startled, instinctively stepping back two paces.

Her movement was too forceful, and losing her balance, she staggered backward and fell.

Just when Zhao Yuqing thought she would hit the concrete, her waist was suddenly supported by a strong and powerful hand.

“Are you alright?”

Seeing Li Chen, Zhao Yuqing’s eyes immediately lit up with joy.

She even teared up with emotion.

Li Chen, who feared a woman’s tears, especially a beautiful woman’s, simply had no resistance.

“Did I hurt you, why are you crying?”

Zhao Yuqing, realizing her lapse, quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

“No, I’m fine!”

Du Feng, seeing the goddess he had been pursuing in vain now in another man’s arms, immediately fumed with rage.

“Kid, be sensible, and let go of your hand quick!”

Li Chen glanced at Du Feng, then at the delicate rose in his hand, and simply smiled, “Bro, your way of chasing girls is totally out!”

Du Feng was taken aback.

His way of pursuing girls was out?

Luxury car + flowers + heartfelt confessions, his method had successfully won over five or six campus beauties and had never failed.

And yet, he was told it was outdated.

“So you say, what’s not outdated?”

Li Chen’s lips curved up into a mysteriously confident smile, casually plucking the most vivid rose from Du Feng’s hand.

“Beauty, you’re truly beautiful, come with me!”

Zhao Yuqing, overwhelmed with joy, vigorously nodded like a pecking chicken.

Seeing Zhao Yuqing didn’t refuse, Li Chen directly took her hand and boarded a bus.

As he was about to get on the bus, he caught a glimpse of two sneaky figures from the corner of his eyes, his brows involuntarily furrowing.

They’re pretty fast, even found their way here!
