Chapter 746: Chapter 747 Freeloading Man 32_1

Xia Yuanji held Song Lei’s hand tightly, "Ever since I took your hand, I’ve never thought about letting go."

Song Lei gripped Xia Yuanji’s hand firmly, "As long as you don’t betray me, treat me well, I will definitely be good to you."

"I know their mentality; they just think I should be like before, become a ’lickspittle,’ then experience all kinds of unhappiness."

"You are different from Chiang Yi, I know the good you do for me, and we will definitely be happy."

"Right," Xia Yuanji said, kissing the hand he was holding several times, "We have a break in a couple of days, what do you plan to do?"

The last mini break before the college entrance exams, the Labour Day holiday, was approaching, and many people were sure to be at home, diligently reviewing their lessons for the final sprint.

Xia Yuanji wanted to take Song Lei out for a stroll; aside from grinding through practice problems all day, he truly worried that his girl would turn into a bookworm.

They had already received their admission notifications; the results of the college entrance exams truly were no longer important.

"Whatever, let’s go somewhere not crowded, where we can relax," Song Lei said, knowing that any trip arranged by Xia Yuanji would be utterly satisfying.

Ever since she got together with Xia Yuanji, whatever they did, following him was just fine for Song Lei.

"Let’s go to Tibet," suggested Xia Yuanji, who knew Song Lei had mentioned wanting to visit Tibet and see Mount Everest.

Ah, Tibet? Wow, Song Lei was so excited, "Yes, we must go."

"We’ll drive from Lhasa all the way to base camp and then head back."

Climbing Mount Everest might not be possible in this lifetime, but witnessing the Golden Summit in the sunrise was certainly a worthy experience.

"Okay." Although the holidays were just a few days away, for Xia Yuanji, there was no difficulty at all.

So, while everyone else was at home making their final sprint, Song Lei and Xia Yuanji went out for a stroll.

Along the way, the couple visited many places and took lots of photos, sensibly choosing not to share them in the class group.

After all, while they could go out and enjoy themselves, many classmates were at home reviewing their lessons; there was no need to provoke them.

"After the exams are over, we can release them," he said.

Song Lei knew that now was not the time to upset many classmates, "We’re going out to play during Labour Day, and if we also get good results, it will definitely enrage a bunch of people."

"Once I know everyone’s results, and the schools they’re attending..." Song Lei actually wanted to know where the reformed Chiang Yi would end up studying.

Whether he could get into his previous university, but now that she thought about it, what did his college entrance exam results or his university choice matter to her?

Not a bit, "Once the exams are over, I’ll just leave the group."

Perhaps some people would say she looked down on her classmates or something, but so what? If it were the original owner, she probably wouldn’t want to keep in touch with these classmates either.

"Leave the group?" Xia Yuanji was in the class group but hardly ever checked it, since if there were anything important, Song Lei would tell him.

Even after being classmates for a year and a half, Xia Yuanji had little to do with these classmates; he mostly spoke with Song Lei and didn’t chat much with the others.

"Right, we’re all graduating, what’s the point of staying in touch?"

"This is my dark history."

"Even if they hold class reunions in the future, I’ve never thought of participating."

In the past, when tackling missions, Song Lei had also attended many class reunions; some were warm and memorable, but more often than not, they went awry.

"Then leave the group," said Xia Yuanji, who had also been to an elementary school reunion. Although most were still students, he could still feel things starting to go sour.

Especially after knowing his identity, when people spoke to him, they would act based on the expression in his eyes—it’s really hard to describe that feeling.

And this was before everyone had fully entered the workforce. By the time we’d get to those so-called class reunions, there would be even more of a hierarchy.

Song Lei thought that as long as they went out to have fun, that would be enough—there was no need to stir up envy among classmates by posting photos in the group chat.

But the result was that a photo of them sitting together and enjoying the scenery on the road was taken by a photographer and then posted online.

The photographer was somewhat famous already, mostly posting landscape photos, so when he suddenly posted a portrait, of course, people would take a second glance.

And so, the photo of them gradually began to spread until a classmate saw it and shared it with the class group.

This shook quite a few classmates who were at home, slaving over practice problems. In their minds, everyone was supposed to be studying at home during the vacation.

Traveling? That was nothing but a dream. Being able to stroll around the neighborhood to relax for a bit was already pretty good.

They had not expected that Song Lei and Xia Yuanji would actually go on a trip to Tibet, and what made them green with envy was that the two were on a road trip, which made everyone extremely jealous.

Chiang Yi, of course, also saw the photo and stared at it for a long time, reaching out tentatively to touch Song Lei’s face on the screen, "You look happy."

At that moment, he remembered that Song Lei had once mentioned she hoped to visit Lhasa and the Everest Base Camp with the person she loved.

What was his reaction at the time? Chiang Yi thought for a long time, but couldn’t remember—though it was probably something unenthusiastic.

Afterward, he never heard Song Lei bring it up again; he thought she had given up, but in reality, she had just found someone else.

Xia Yuanji had done better than him—if Song Lei mentioned something, he would make an effort to achieve it.

After touching her face on the screen again, Chiang Yi turned off the group messages.

Such news would only make him feel bad. He now needed to focus on studying hard to get into a good university.

Currently without mobile QQ on his phone, Song Lei didn’t have the habit of taking her laptop when she went out. Meanwhile, Xia Yuanji did bring his laptop with him because he had official business to handle.

Xia Yuanji wasn’t in the habit of checking the class group and therefore didn’t notice the photo’s existence.

When Song Lei found out, she had already returned home and logged onto the class group to see if anything had happened in the past few days.

She saw that many classmates were incessantly tagging her, and only then did she realize that, though she intended to keep a low profile and not disturb her classmates’ study time, a certain photographer had ruined her plan.

Now that everyone knew about their trip, Song Lei naturally didn’t deny it, but she also didn’t step forward to confirm it, for it would only attract envy.

Xia Yuanji found out about the news that night and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"What else can we do? They’ve recognized us, so let’s just admit it," she replied.

"If they are envious, there’s nothing I can do about that. After all, we have a university to attend."

Xia Yuanji wasn’t the one to care about what those people thought. Whether they were happy or unhappy, it was enough to take care of oneself.

Thinking about the scene at school the next day when everyone would see them, Song Lei couldn’t help but feel it would be quite amusing, "Tomorrow, their reactions when we show up will definitely be interesting."

While Song Lei said so, she knew that the books she needed to read still had to be read, and the problems she needed to solve still had to be solved.

Turning her head to glance at Xia Yuanji, who was still busy with his work, she sighed with a sense of helplessness—this was the gap between them.

Even though she had been on many missions and was familiar with the college entrance examination, she still didn’t dare to take it lightly.

Yet some people were just that remarkable, incomparable really.
