Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1327 Waiting
This was the fifth time Wenwen had looked back at her.

Ling Mengchu paused, her hand holding the pen pausing. She habitually turned to the left, but seeing the empty seat, she turned her head away again.

Xiao Lingzi went to attend a physics competition tutoring session.

She was a little unaccustomed to it.

Ling Mengchu turned to look behind her. Geng Xinyu was sitting at the table, looking intently at the book in front of her.

Okay, she should calm down and study hard to prepare for the exam.

As Ling Mengchu was thinking this, she suddenly noticed lines of uneven words on the pages that Geng Xinyu was turning.

Aren't you looking at a textbook?

A poetry collection? Ling Mengchu paused, turned around, and looked at the notebook in front of her. Was it the poetry collection that Zheng Yifan had given to Xiaoyu?

Xiaoyu is really bored; she's reading poetry!
The next second, her thoughts drifted again. Zheng Yifan went to Lingnuo Middle School, would he meet that handsome, smiling boy who blushes? Would that boy also occasionally think about their meeting at the end of the month?

"Pah, pah, pah!" Ling Mengchu raised her hand and touched her slightly hot face. "What am I thinking about? I need to focus on my homework."

After writing two lines, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Guo Wenwen was looking at her again.

Ling Mengchu looked up at Guo Wenwen. What was she looking at? Speak your mind.

Guo Wenwen's smile paused for a moment, then she smiled again, leaned closer, and whispered, "I heard from Xinxin that you found a handsome guy who looks like Xiaonan."

Ling Mengchu was taken aback. Her gaze lingered on Guo Wenwen's face for a moment, then fell on Wang Xinyi, who was grinning foolishly at her. If Xinyi hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.

Ling Mengchu snorted and rolled her eyes at Wang Xinyi. It was clearly Wang Xinyi who discovered it first, wasn't it?
"You really found out?" Guo Wenwen's eyes lit up. "Which class is he in? What grade is he in? Does he look very similar?"

Ling Mengchu looked at Guo Wenwen again and again: "Hmm, very similar."

"I'll walk with you after school that night."

Ling Mengchu stared intently at Guo Wenwen. Even if she walked with them, she might not have run into her. Today, it was just a coincidence.

“Okay, let’s go together,” Wang Xinyi nodded. “If we meet, I’ll point it out to you.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Mengchu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and picked up her pen to do her homework.

Guo Wenwen and Wang Xinyi exchanged a smile and turned away, looking forward to the end of evening self-study.

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, lowered her head, and hurriedly wrote, hoping to "bump into" a handsome guy after school. Although the probability was small, the law of attraction said that what you care about will appear before your eyes.

Just look at Mengmeng; she met "Xiao Nan," and then "Xiao Nan No. 2." Who knows, she might meet some handsome guy too.

Wang Xiaoxiao chuckled, which made Geng Xinyu look at her again and again.

These people are up to something! But she's very busy! Geng Xinyu looked away; Teacher Yan had specifically reminded her before evening self-study that she needed to submit an essay in two days!
She has no clue yet and is currently reading books to brainstorm ideas!
"Xiaoyu, we're leaving now."

After the school bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, Wang Xinyi pulled Wang Xiaoxiao aside and said goodbye to Geng Xinyu, who waved goodbye.

She had just gotten the ideas for her essay and needed to organize the outline.

"Is the class monitor all alone?" Tang Ji couldn't help but sigh as she watched the girls walk out of the classroom one after another. "Is she being ostracized?"

Ling Chuyang glanced at Tang Ji sideways: "You think it's you?"

"What's wrong with me? I haven't ostracized anyone," Tang Ji exclaimed softly, causing Zhou Yuchen in front of him to turn around and look at him. "What are you looking at?"

Zhou Yuchen asked, "You think you were ostracized?"

"Who has ever been ostracized!"

"So you've ostracized others?"

“Who’s ostracizing anyone?” Tang Ji waved his hand. “This is none of your business. Adults are talking, kids shouldn’t interrupt.” Zhou Yuchen smiled, stood up, and walked towards the back door: “I’m going back to my dorm first.”

"Go ahead and leave, there's no one stopping you," Tang Ji said irritably. "Hurry up and go."

Zhou Yuchen smiled, lifted her foot and walked towards the back door. When she reached the back door, she paused, looked back, and turned to leave. Suddenly, she saw a figure flash by, and quickly withdrew her foot.

Gu Yue pulled Tan Lin past the back door.

Thankfully, he came back. Watching the figures walking down the stairs, Zhou Yuchen breathed a slight sigh of relief; otherwise, he probably would have bumped into them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuchen couldn't help but shudder.

"Is it cold?" Du Xiaofeng laughed. "It's April now, spring is here and flowers are in bloom."

"It's not cold." Zhou Yuchen said, then turned and walked out the back door.

Hurry up and leave, don't give Du Xiaofeng a chance to gossip!

As night deepened, fewer and fewer students appeared on Central Avenue, with only one or two occasionally walking by in the shadows.

Four girls stood by the steps where the teaching building meets the playground. After looking left and right, they reluctantly turned onto the road heading north.

Wang Xinyi muttered, "I waited so long for nothing, and nothing came."

Guo Wenwen comforted her with some disappointment, "It's normal that you can't see clearly in such dark weather, especially since everyone is wearing school uniforms."

She was the one who offered to go with them; she's the one who took up everyone's time. With so many people, it's normal that we didn't run into each other.

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded: "That makes sense. There are too many people and it's dark. Let's come out again at the same time during the day tomorrow."

At the same time? Ling Mengchu looked at Wang Xiaoxiao, who hadn't paid attention to when she came out this afternoon.

“Great idea!” Wang Xinyi shook off her earlier dejection and tugged at Guo Wenwen. “Let’s go together tomorrow afternoon.”

Guo Wenwen nodded: "Okay."

If I happen to run into one, I'll take a look; if not, I'll just let it be and let fate decide.
After all, without hope there will be no disappointment!
Ling Mengchu remained silent, walking forward in quiet contemplation. A pang of disappointment swept through her heart. Was it the wrong time? Or was the distance too great? Or perhaps the light was too dim, preventing her from seeing clearly?

The next morning, on their way to the cafeteria, the group unconsciously started looking around. Fortunately, Geng Xinyu and He Shiling were focused on their discussion and didn't notice.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter it all the way to the cafeteria.

The four of them intentionally or unintentionally huddled together during the break between classes, hiding in the corridor to secretly discuss their conversation. Unwilling to give up, they hurriedly went downstairs after school at noon and waited on the only road leading from the teaching building to the central avenue.

Blue and white school uniforms, figures of varying heights, approaching from near or far, hairstyles of varying lengths flashing before our eyes, some in groups of three or five, others walking alone, passing by, fewer and fewer people.

"What are you doing here?"

A sound came from nearby.

Guo Wenwen's face flushed instantly, and she stood behind Wang Xinyi.

Wang Xinyi looked around and smiled, "Sunbathing, and by the way, watching..."

"By the way, I'll wait for you all to come along," Wang Xiaoxiao continued, "to see..."

Wang Xiaoxiao's words caught in her throat. Behind Geng Xinyu and He Shiling, someone was coming from the west, with his left hand in his pocket and his head slightly turned to the side, seemingly listening patiently to his companions' words.

Geng Xinyu laughed, looked at He Shiling, and then turned to Wang Xiaoxiao: "What are you looking at?"

“Look, the scenery.” Wang Xiaoxiao said, emphasizing each word, her gaze lingering on Geng Xinyu’s face before turning back to look behind her.

I searched for him among the crowd, a thousand times, and then suddenly I turned around, and there he was, not far ahead!
