Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1344 Strange
People moved about on campus, heading towards their respective examination areas.

"Walking so fast."

Zheng Yifan quickened his pace, came to Ke Mengnan's side, and smiled, "Looking for someone?"

Ke Mengnan paused slightly, lowered her eyes, and then looked at Zheng Yifan calmly: "Is there something you need?"

"Something's wrong," Zheng Yifan glanced behind him, "The school gatekeeper thinks I..."

"You think I'm handsome!"

Lin Xiaoyao followed from behind, interjected, and gave Ke Mengnan a smug smile.

Ke Mengnan glanced at Lin Xiaoyao with slight surprise, then turned to Zheng Yifan on her right: "This matter?"

Before Zheng Yifan could answer, Lin Xiaoyao's voice came again: "Being handsome is just something I can't help. I never imagined I was so charming."

Zheng Yifan stared at Lin Xiaoyao quietly for a few seconds, then walked to the left front.

Ke Mengnan glanced at Lin Xiaoyao, then looked again and again in the direction Zheng Yifan had left, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but the next second, she felt relieved.

On the plaza to the left, the corresponding showtimes are posted.

Zheng Yifan walked over openly and honestly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

So, if he walks over, no one will notice him, right?

He had only taken two steps when a shout from ahead made him look towards the person to his left.

Who is Zheng Yifan calling out to?

"Hey you two in front, wait for me!"

He Shiling subconsciously turned around, her gaze passing over Zheng Yifan's raised eyebrows, and met Ke Mengnan's eyes as she looked over at the sound.

In an instant, the surrounding clamor receded silently, and the bustling campus seemed to leave only the two of them standing on a quiet, isolated island.

"Yi Xiaofei!" Zheng Yifan looked at the two people who had turned around, his gaze sweeping over He Shiling. "I need to talk to you."

He Shiling turned her gaze away and looked at Zheng Yifan, who had walked closer.

Lin Xiaoyao's voice, half joking and half serious, came from behind:

"What are you looking at? Come on! Xiao Fan has already gone ahead, we should follow him."

Zheng Yifan looked at Yi Lingfei's left hand: "Give me the admission ticket."

Yi Lingfei: ?

"What are you looking at?" Zheng Yifan laughed. "Just taking a look."

Yi Lingfei glanced at He Shiling and handed her the admission ticket in his hand: "What's there to see?"

Zheng Yifan took it and looked it over from top to bottom. When his gaze fell on the seal in the lower right corner, he paused. Why were there two seals?
Wasn't there only one last year?

No wonder the security guard was looking at him strangely!

"More handsome than you?" Yi Lingfei laughed. "Why are you looking at it so seriously?"

"He's handsome, but not quite as good as me," Zheng Yifan said with a smile, handing the exam admission ticket to Yi Lingfei. "Let's go, Old Wu is keeping an eye on you guys."

Yi Lingfei waved his exam admission ticket at Zheng Yifan and said, "I'm leaving."

Keep up with the group, don't give Lao Wu a chance to get angry, so as not to affect your mood.

He Shiling glanced at Zheng Yifan, said nothing, and left side by side with Yi Lingfei.

What is she laughing at again? Zheng Yifan watched the departing figure thoughtfully, then chuckled to himself, almost forgetting that she was the "Little Plague God"!
Unlike normal people!
"Hey, why did they leave?" Lin Xiaoyao leaned closer, looking again and again at the departing figures. "We just arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Ke Mengnan, who was lagging behind, and said, "It's all his fault for walking so slowly."

"Hey, by the way, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Zheng Yifan looked at Lin Xiaoyao and asked, "Do you know them?"

"do not know!"

"I can't say that." Zheng Yifan's expression remained unchanged, a perfectly timed smile appearing on his face. He strolled forward leisurely, when suddenly he saw He Shiling turn her head and was startled.

Is the "little plague god" acting up again?
"Why can't I say it?" Lin Xiaoyao pressed. "What are you looking at?" The next second, Lin Xiaoyao's exclamation attracted the attention of passersby.

"The Song Dynasty Poetry Girl!"

Zheng Yifan glanced at Lin Xiaoyao, then looked at the back of the figure that had already turned away: "Don't cause trouble."

“Look at what you’re saying, I didn’t cause any trouble,” Lin Xiaoyao argued, leaning closer with a mischievous smile, “You’re just feeling guilty.”

Zheng Yifan stared at Lin Xiaoyao for a few seconds, then his smile faded: "Don't provoke her."

This kid's thought process is really unique. How come he never noticed it before?
"Just as I predicted," Lin Xiaoyao smiled smugly, then turned around. "Xiao Nan, you... ouch, you kicked me!"

"Punishment!" Zheng Yifan withdrew his foot. "Nonsense."

"I wasn't talking nonsense," Lin Xiaoyao said, rubbing her leg and frowning. "Brother, you're being a bit petty. I was just looking at it a couple of times, why did you kick me? I won't steal what you like. Ouch, that was a hard hit, it's all red!"

"You..." Zheng Yifan suddenly noticed Ke Mengnan's expression change. "You're not feeling well?"

“It’s nothing,” Ke Mengnan said hoarsely. “I’m fine.”

"Quick, help me up," Lin Xiaoyao exaggeratedly jumped to the right twice and leaned on Ke Mengnan's shoulder. "I've experienced the meaning of 'beauty is a curse' today."

Zheng Yifan nodded: "She really is a femme fatale."

Lin Xiaoyao pouted and gestured towards Ke Mengnan: "See? He finally admitted it. We can't be brothers anymore."

“We’ve never been brothers,” Zheng Yifan said, putting his hand on Ke Mengnan’s right shoulder and smiling at Lin Xiaoyao. “This is my brother.”

Ke Mengnan's lips twitched slightly as she gently brushed Zheng Yifan's hand away: "I'm looking at you."

Who? Zheng Yifan followed Ke Mengnan's gaze and raised an eyebrow. The "little plague god" had turned back to look at him again?!

What is she planning to do? What wicked scheme is she plotting now?
Zheng Yifan stared at the person not far away until that person smiled brightly at him and turned around. He instantly felt that he couldn't even breathe properly.

That long-lost smile!

That radiant smile—on the first day of school, she gave him that bright smile from afar, and then turned and left!

Is it still the same now?!
He's already transferred schools, what advantage can he possibly gain?!

Pshaw, what benefit could she possibly gain from this?

"Look at him!" Lin Xiaoyao's voice rang out nearby.

Zheng Yifan snapped out of his daze, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xiaoyao's gossipy face before turning to Ke Mengnan.

He's not alone now; there's a handsome guy next to him who can take advantage of him!

"No way?" Zheng Yifan was startled by his own sudden thought and quickly denied it, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

She already has Yi Lingfei, an inseparable campus couple!

Ke Mengnan pushed away the weight that was pressing on Lin Xiaoyao's left shoulder, and looked past Zheng Yifan toward the familiar figure to her left: "Is it her?"

"Of course not!" Zheng Yifan blurted out, then realized he'd misspoke the next second. "What are you talking about? How could that be?"

"See? He's dishonest and two-faced," Lin Xiaoyao said, pouting at Ke Mengnan. "Oh no, he's two-faced!"

Before Ke Mengnan could respond, Lin Xiaoyao turned to Zheng Yifan and said, "Words can lie, but actions don't. No wonder Chu Jingyan doesn't catch your eye."

Zheng Yifan looked at Lin Xiaoyao with a quiet smile.

This kid is so stupid, it's reassuring!
"I don't believe a word you're saying," Lin Xiaoyao straightened up and swung her legs a couple of times. "Right, Xiaonan?"

"I believe."

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xiaoyao looked at Ke Mengnan in surprise!

"If you say no, then no." Ke Mengnan smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping over Zheng Yifan before turning to Lin Xiaoyao. "If there's nothing else, then let's go."

Zheng Yifan's smile remained unchanged as he lifted his foot and walked forward.

"You, him..."

"Time is running out, let's go."

Ke Mengnan interrupted Lin Xiaoyao and walked lightly toward the crowded square.
