Chapter 102 You caught my...
"You should look at your total score. You did so badly in math and you still have the nerve to ask me for money? Do you think getting into the intensive class means you'll get into Tsinghua or Peking University?"
The woman's voice was loud, and she didn't care about Xu Qingwan's feelings at all, saying sarcastically,
"Don't you know how much money your father and I have spent on you? I'll say it again: if you don't get into university, I don't have a daughter like you."
After saying that, the woman threw four 100-yuan bills on the ground, turned around, and quickly left.
By the time Lu Zhaoye realized what was happening, the woman had already disappeared from his sight, leaving Xu Qingwan all alone, squatting on the ground picking up the money.
The supermarket was crowded, with most people standing at a distance and whispering among themselves.
When Xu Qingwan came to her senses, she didn't dare to look up. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her hands trembled uncontrollably as she picked up the money.
Just then, a pair of shoes suddenly appeared in her line of sight. Xu Qingwan thought she was blocking someone's way to buy something, so she hurriedly wiped her eyes and got up to leave.
"Housekeeper? What are you doing here?"
A familiar voice reached Xu Qingwan's ears. She turned her head quickly, incredulous, her eyes welling up with tears again...
Looking at the miserable-looking Xu Qingwan, Lu Zhaoye felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he still pretended to be clueless and said...
"Why are your eyes so red? Did you secretly go to buy onions just now?"
Xu Qingwan looked at Lu Zhaoye who appeared before her and smiled through her tears. She couldn't help but pat Lu Zhaoye's arm and said in a choked voice,
"That onion smelled so strong..."
After saying that, Xu Qingwan, worried that Lu Zhaoye would see her crying, rushed into Lu Zhaoye's arms.
Looking at Xu Qingwan who had thrown herself into his arms, Lu Zhaoye suddenly recalled his junior high school days in his previous life.
Children of this age, whether boys or girls, don't really want their familiar classmates or friends to see them in an embarrassing situation.
He remembers that his school was not far from the orphanage, so every time he walked home with his classmates after school in the evening, he would deliberately avoid the orphanage and sneak back after his classmates went home.
That was the inferiority complex that had plagued him throughout his youth.
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Zhaoye did not want to expose Xu Qingwan's true colors, but only wanted to protect her last bit of self-respect.
"Xu Qingwan, have you finished wiping your tears? There are so many people watching us, I'm a little shy."
After saying that, Xu Qingwan, who was in Lu Zhaoye's arms, immediately remembered that she was still in the supermarket. She snuggled against Lu Zhaoye one last time, then raised her blushing face.
"All done, all done, let's go."
Xu Qingwan immediately turned around, pushed the shopping cart, and bent down like a thief, ready to run away.
Lu Zhaoye couldn't help but chuckle, and immediately reached out to grab Xu Qingwan's shoulder by the back of her school uniform collar, but this grab...
Xu Qingwan felt her navel suddenly become cool. She stopped and looked down. Her short-sleeved school uniform had been pulled up, exposing her smooth belly to the air.
Xu Qingwan blushed and hurriedly reached out to pull him down, but then she suddenly heard a swallowing sound behind her, and her hand froze in place.
However, Xu Qingwan quickly realized something was wrong. Lu Zhaoye had grabbed her belt, which was constricting her painfully. Xu Qingwan couldn't bear it any longer and took a few steps back, stepping on Lu Zhaoye's foot.
"Hurry up and let go."
Lu Zhaoye snapped out of his daze, licked his lips, and quickly released his hand.
With a "snap," the sound of the strap hitting skin rang out.
Lu Zhaoye and Xu Qingwan's faces flushed instantly, and they grabbed their things and ran away.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the snack area.
Xu Qingwan glared fiercely at Lu Zhaoye, stepped on his foot, and said angrily,
"Hmph, you big bad guy."
Lu Zhaoye immediately chuckled, pursed his lips, and reached out to poke Xu Qingwan's cheek with a grin.
"Then why are you blushing?"
Xu Qingwan stared intently at the frame, opened her mouth to bite Lu Zhaoye's hand, but fortunately Lu Zhaoye reacted quickly and pulled it back immediately.
"Are you a dog, you bastard?"
Xu Qingwan snorted and turned her head away without saying a word.
Lu Zhaoye said with a grin again,
"Still grunting, huh? Oh, it's a pig."
"..."
The two played around for a while before gradually calming down.
Xu Qingwan pushed the stroller behind Lu Zhaoye, the sadness on her face long gone, replaced by a look of happiness.
"Hey, you naughty deskmate, have you finished your exams yet?"
Lu Zhaoye was buying bread when he heard Xu Qingwan's question and nodded.
"Yeah, I came out right after the exam. School just let out early, so I came to buy some groceries and put them in the fridge. I'll make myself some late-night snacks when I get home later."
Xu Qingwan was a little tempted by the idea. If she could cook and eat at home with Lu Zhaoye, and sleep together at night... hehehehe.
"Lu Zhaoye, I...can I go home with you tonight?" Xu Qingwan asked timidly.
Lu Zhaoye immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. "That slut is after me again, isn't she?" he thought, and quickly refused.
"No way, I have to get up early and go out tomorrow."
Xu Qingwan pouted, a little unhappy, but she wasn't in a hurry, since her bad deskmate had promised that she could stay at his house for one night after the math competition.
"Okay then, be careful on your way home."
Lu Zhaoye waved his hand to indicate that he understood, but he was still thinking about what Xu Qingwan's mother had just said.
What does Hsu Ching-wan need money for?
So he turned his head and asked with a smile,
"Do you have enough money? Do you want to buy anything?"
Xu Qingwan paused for a moment, not understanding the hidden meaning in Lu Zhaoye's words, and answered honestly.
"No, I have enough money on me."
Lu Zhaoye didn't sense anything unusual in Xu Qingwan's eyes. If she wasn't short of money, then what was she?
"By the way, do you have any snacks in your dorm?"
Xu Qingwan shook her head. "No, Mom said it's unhealthy to eat."
Lu Zhaoye sighed inwardly. "This foolish child," he continued, "I asked..."
"Do you want to eat it?"
"..."
"I don't want to," Xu Qingwan said stubbornly and earnestly.
Lu Zhaoye stared into Xu Qingwan's eyes for a while, then smiled and continued,
"Okay, then I want to eat it. Will you come with me?"
"Oh~"
Lu Zhaoye pointed to a potato chip and asked, "How does this look?"
"It looks delicious!" Hsu Ching-wan's eyes lit up as she looked at the photo on the packaging.
Lu Zhaoye took two packets and put them in, then pointed to the jelly next to him.
"What about this one?"
Xu Qingwan's eyes still shone as she nodded emphatically.
"..."
After a while, Xu Qingwan looked at the shopping cart full of snacks, pointed to herself, and muttered,
"Are they all for me?"
Lu Zhaoye packed the snacks into a shopping bag and nodded.
"Otherwise what?"
Xu Qingwan's heart pounded, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lu Zhaoye's figure.
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat this?"
Lu Zhaoye forced a smile and said with a grin,
"I was just kidding."
Xu Qingwan paused for a moment, a blush instantly spreading across her cheeks. She pouted and muttered,
"fraud."
