You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Zhao Wenyu's incessant chatter lingered in my ears, like a fly that I couldn't get rid of, buzzing around and around.

Su Qinghe initially didn't want to pay attention to him, but in the end, she got so annoyed by his questions that she knew she wouldn't be able to get through the last two classes peacefully if she didn't take some action.

So she stopped writing, turned to face Zhao Wenyu, and stared coldly at the noisy fly beside her with a pair of clear eyes that now revealed a chilling coldness.

Zhao Wenyu was startled by the sudden look in his eyes, and the fake smile on his face froze on the spot.

"I like quiet, you know?"

Su Qinghe said those five words expressionlessly, then turned her attention back to the blackboard.

Zhao Wenyu was intimidated by Su Qinghe's extremely oppressive aura.

He swallowed subconsciously, and after realizing what he had done, he wanted to say something more.

Before he could even speak, Zhao Wenyu felt several pairs of eyes looking at him from around him.

Su Qinghe's shout was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for all the students sitting around to hear, and they all turned their curious gazes toward the two of them.

Helpless, Zhao Wenyu had no choice but to shut his mouth, while inwardly cursing the woman for being so ungrateful.

……

The morning passed quickly.

The moment the bell rang, the quiet atmosphere in the classroom was instantly shattered.

The students jumped up in a rush, like zombies in the face of the apocalypse, and swarmed toward the cafeteria.

Zhao Wenyu dawdled as he packed his things, his eyes glancing at Su Qinghe every now and then, clearly still harboring ulterior motives.

Seeing that most of the students had left, he slowly stood up and then gave Su Qinghe what he thought was a very handsome and sunny smile.

"Su, would you like to go to the cafeteria for lunch together? You just joined our class today, so I can tell you about our class and help you integrate quickly."

Su Qinghe didn't even look up. She stuffed the last few books into her bag and said indifferently, "No need, I have an appointment."

Zhao Wenyu had been repeatedly humiliated by Su Qinghe, and even with his thick skin, he was starting to lose face.

But he still forced a couple of dry laughs, "Oh, I see... That's such a pity. I'll be going now."

After saying that, he grabbed his meal card and left the classroom in a somewhat disheveled manner.

Soon, only Jiang Che, Wang Kai, and Su Qinghe remained in the classroom.

Jiang Che struggled with a difficult problem for a long time before finally overcoming it.

After he finished the problem and looked up, he realized that the classroom, which had been packed with people just moments before, was now completely empty.

After a morning of hard work, Jiang Che was starving. He stood up and nudged Wang Kai's chair, who was also working on his homework.

"Stop writing now, hurry up and go eat, or you might not be able to get any food if you're late."

"Okay, sure."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai put down his pen and was about to stand up and stretch when Su Qinghe, who was in front of him, made a move first.

Without warning, she stood up, turned around, took a step in front of Jiang Che, opened her arms, and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

Jiang Che was about to walk outside when he saw a pretty figure approaching him with a gust of fragrant breeze.

When he came to his senses, he found himself holding a soft body.

Jiang Che looked down at the girl in his arms, his hand hanging in mid-air, unsure of where to put it.

I can't just openly put my arm around her waist like I do at home, can I?

Wang Kai, who had just stood up, was also stunned. Fortunately, he quickly recovered and deliberately slapped his forehead, shouting loudly, "Oh no, where's my meal card! I think I left it in the dorm! Che-ge, you go first, I'll go back to the dorm to look for it!"

After saying that, Wang Kai didn't even dare to look back. He dashed out of the classroom, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Only the boy and girl, embracing each other, remained in the huge classroom.

Jiang Che sighed softly, and finally placed his hand on Su Qinghe's back and patted her gently.

"What's going on? Who made our campus belle from Suzhou University angry?"

Su Qinghe buried her face in Jiang Che's chest and said in a muffled voice, "You."

Jiang Che looked down at her fluffy head with a sigh, "What did I do to upset you?"

Su Qinghe raised her head, her eyes red and full of grievance.

"It's so hard to pretend I don't know you... I can't see you or talk to you all morning, and I'm bothered by those irrelevant people."

"Ah Che, I hate this."

Jiang Che touched Su Qinghe's aggrieved little face. Actually, he hadn't felt very good either that morning.

Especially when he saw Su Qinghe sitting alone in front, having to deal with the harassment of Zhao Wenyu, that clown, he really wanted to kick Wang Kai aside on the spot and pull Su Qinghe to sit down next to him.

Reason told him that keeping his distance was the best option to protect Su Qinghe.

But emotionally, firstly, he himself was finding it hard to bear this pretense of being a stranger; secondly, he couldn't bear to let Su Qinghe suffer any more grievances.

and so……

Jiang Che reached out and ruffled Su Qinghe's hair, tentatively saying, "It is indeed a bit difficult to endure, so how about..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Qinghe's eyes lit up instantly, like a lightbulb had been switched on. "Then how about we stop pretending to be strangers?"

After saying that, Su Qinghe shook Jiang Che's arm anxiously, her little face full of worry, "Ah Che, that's what you meant to say in the second half of your sentence, right, right?"

"Ah Che, say something, Ah Che..."

Jiang Che was amused by her reaction and pinched her cheek. "Yes~ we don't need to pretend to be strangers anymore. From now on, we'll treat each other as ordinary friends at school."

"As long as we don't do anything overly intimate, even if people gossip, they won't go too far."

Of course, even if people gossip about him, Jiang Che doesn't care anymore. He'll just confront them.

If he continues to pretend he doesn't know his sweet and soft future girlfriend, he really won't be able to stand it anymore.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Su Qinghe was satisfied, and a sweet smile finally returned to her lips.

The two hugged each other in the classroom for a while, and then reluctantly let go of each other, worried that if they lingered any longer they would be seen.

They then walked out of the classroom together and headed towards the cafeteria.

Su Qinghe stayed close behind Jiang Che, keeping a distance of about half a meter between them.

To outsiders, this distance resembles that of classmates walking together, yet also carries an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Her gaze remained fixed on the back of Jiang Che's head or his shoulder, while the classmates passing by were just out-of-focus background figures in her eyes.

Her world was very small, so small that it could only hold one Jiang Che.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the two got their food and then carried their trays to find seats in the hall.

"Brother Che! Over here!"

Wang Kai spotted them at a nearby dining table and waved vigorously at them.
