Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1367 Conjecture
"What did you say?"

Ling Mengchu looked at Guo Wenwen, who stopped halfway through her sentence. What was going on?

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing," Guo Wenwen smiled at Ling Mengchu upon hearing this, "Let's go, it's been a while since school ended."

That's true," Ling Mengchu nodded, letting Guo Wenwen pull her towards the northeast, across the steps, and onto the central avenue.

After taking only a few steps, Ling Mengchu turned back to look at the brightly lit classroom and muttered to herself, "I wonder if Fang Di and the others have left yet?"

Guo Wenwen paused, looked back at the shadowy figures on the third floor, and said uncertainly, "Maybe they've gone downstairs too."

Is Ling Mengchu regretting leaving early?
The shadowy figures in the corridor were indistinct, and it was impossible to tell whether they were people or others; all that could be seen were figures moving about.

"How about we walk a little slower?" Guo Wenwen asked tentatively. "It's not long after class, and there are still so many people on the road."

Ling Mengchu turned around, looked around, nodded, and slowed her pace slightly. Indeed, there were quite a few people on the road.

Normally, when they leave, there are only a few people left on the road.

After taking a few steps, Ling Mengchu snorted and turned to Guo Wenwen: "Let's hurry up and leave before they come downstairs."

"Huh?" Guo Wenwen looked at Ling Mengchu in confusion. "She really does things on a whim. She's a bit fickle."

“Let’s hurry up and go to those empty sinks before they come downstairs,” Ling Mengchu added.

Guo Wenwen: !

She's mistaken?!
Without allowing Guo Wenwen to turn back, Ling Mengchu pulled her along at a brisk pace, bypassing the few pedestrians walking side by side, and headed north.

How interesting! Fang Di actually ran back to ask her, "Didn't you already go downstairs? Why did you turn back?" Geng Xinyu smiled, then closed the book in front of her. The handsome guy they were all staring at was actually him.

interesting!

Did you see him when you went downstairs just now?
That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, Class 1 of Senior Three is located three classrooms to the west of their building, and they don't share the same stairwell.

Perhaps, instead of taking the shortest staircase, they deliberately went around to the east gate?
That's possible, after all, they sometimes walk like that too.

Thinking of this, Geng Xinyu couldn't help but smile again, looking at the empty seat in front of her. Now, she was all alone.

Looking out the window, Geng Xinyu saw the brightly lit classroom reflected in the glass. She sighed softly and suddenly understood why those people had gone to see the handsome guy.

When you have free time, you definitely need to find something to do.

As I got up from my seat, I suddenly noticed a gaze. When I looked, I only saw a few figures intently reading.

"Am I seeing things?" Geng Xinyu shook her head and chuckled softly, then turned and left her seat, heading towards the back door.

Just as she reached the back door, Du Xiaofeng suddenly appeared in front of her. Geng Xinyu glanced at him, stepped back to the side, and gestured for him to come over, but he retreated outside the door.

They were all polite and well-mannered students.

Geng Xinyu smiled, walked out the back door, and was about to turn around and walk east when she heard Du Xiaofeng's voice behind her.

"Wait a moment."

Was he calling her? Geng Xinyu turned around and looked at Du Xiaofeng, meeting his smiling gaze. Huh? Was he really calling her?
If he had something to do, couldn't he have looked for her in the classroom? Why did he have to wait for her here?

Do we need to avoid being seen? Geng Xinyu glanced into the classroom, then at the passerby. Just then, she saw the person looking at her, and the next second, they quickly left.

This place is more eye-catching than the classroom.

"What's wrong?" Geng Xinyu asked, trying to answer quickly to avoid being stared at by passersby.

“I just saw Fang Di chatting with a boy,” Du Xiaofeng said, leaning against the wall and looking at Geng Xinyu. “Also, your deskmate and the girls in front of her.”

“They must be talking,” Geng Xinyu paused, then laughed, “It must be Fang Di’s older brother, Yang Yi from the school radio station.”

Du Xiaofeng nodded, a knowing smile on his face: "No wonder they were so excited when they sang this afternoon."

Geng Xinyu smiled and said, "Then, can I go now?"

Since Du Xiaofeng was so curious, he could have asked Fang Di or Ling Mengchu, why did he stay here and wait for her?
That's a bit strange!

Could it be that he saw she was alone, felt sorry for her, and wanted to travel with her?

The thought that had just popped into her head startled Geng Xinyu. No, no, no one would dare to walk together openly between male and female students under Principal Cao's nose.

Except for Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Fei.

Du Xiaofeng wouldn't be that bold, would she?!
"Wait a minute." Du Xiaofeng's voice interrupted Geng Xinyu's thoughts. "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Geng Xinyu nodded: "Go ahead."

“During the break between the second and third periods, a few boys came down from upstairs, seemingly asking about someone,” Du Xiaofeng said, “and also seemed to be checking if that person was in our class.”

Upstairs? Upon hearing this, Geng Xinyu couldn't help but laugh: "You asked me about it?"

You're overthinking it. Someone upstairs is asking about someone? Besides Zheng Yifan, who would be so bored?

That boring person is no longer at Yunling Middle School!

Not only is it boring, it's also shameless. They promised to find her an identical Song Dynasty poem, but there's still no news.

Fortunately, I didn't have high hopes for him in the first place!
This big liar!
“No, not at all,” Du Xiaofeng said thoughtfully. “Of the five people, one who tried to ask a question was stopped.”

"What kind of person?" Geng Xinyu replied. Was Du Xiaofeng gossiping with her? Or was he asking her for confirmation, like Fang Di?
Well, in her own mind, she wasn't a gossipy person at all. It was Zheng Yifan who was so annoying and caused trouble, making it seem like she was a gossip!
"The person who was talking was about my height, had very short hair, and smiled just like Wang Xinyi, looking very innocent."

Geng Xinyu smiled upon hearing this, saying she didn't recognize him.

“He was stopped by a boy with short hair parted in the middle,” Du Xiaofeng thought for a moment and continued, “Tang Ji went over to talk to him. I was in the back at the time and saw the boy look into the classroom, smile, and then leave.”

He glanced at her and smiled? What did that mean? Geng Xinyu looked towards the classroom; Tang Ji was no longer in his seat.

"So, what you mean is?" Geng Xinyu looked at Du Xiaofeng, asking her if she knew her.
That's hilarious!
She didn't know any of the boys in the senior year of high school except for Zheng Yifan. Oh, she also knew the name "Yang Yi", but she had only heard of him and never seen him!
I saw a figure from behind this morning!
Du Xiaofeng's thought process is truly unique!
“I bet they’re trying to find out about you.” Du Xiaofeng’s smile faded as she looked at Geng Xinyu. “After Yang Yi arrived, didn’t Fang Di go back and ask you about it too?”

Geng Xinyu: !

Uh, you can even make that connection?!
