As expected, Chen Yan glanced back quickly; Xiaozhao ran for tens of meters before stopping, and he flipped Chen Yan the middle finger.
Alright, Chen Yan decided to go see Lu Sisi.
Hmm? Right, why did I look for Xiaozhao? Hmm, can’t remember, never mind.
But after just turning a corner, on a road behind the boys’ dormitory area, he saw a figure sitting on a wooden bench by the roadside.
Still wearing that creamy-yellow down jacket, but now there’s a scarf around her neck.
In the winter cold, the young girl’s cheeks were flushed red.
Lu Sisi was daydreaming, then she felt a tap on her shoulder.
The young girl shivered in fright, turned her head to see Chen Yan’s smiling face.
"On such a cold day, who would sit by the roadside to drink wind?" Chen Yan sat beside Lu Sisi effortlessly—it seemed quite natural after all, they had shared the same bed for two nights.
Lu Sisi’s eyes sparkled immediately, looking at Chen Yan with surprise, then she pressed her lips together, "Chen Yan, you..."
"Why did you come to our school?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.
"Uh... I was just bored, so I took a stroll and ended up here."
Lu Sisi answered softly, head down, her little face still red.
Actually... how could it be just a casual stroll?
The young girl was thinking about Mr. Chen the Benefactor all the time, but couldn’t see him; He hadn’t replied to her WeChat messages.
Unable to see him, feeling troubled, she couldn’t help but run to Chen Yan’s school.
Even though she knew he had graduated and wasn’t on campus anymore, the girl had a strange reasoning: seeing the place where he used to live, seemed like a way to remember him?
Chen Yan roughly pieced it together, feeling a bit at a loss for words—he hadn’t lied to Xiaozhao, he really wasn’t good at talking to girls.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly noticed Lu Sisi’s creamy-yellow down jacket.
Remember... from that meeting at the hospital, this girl was wearing this same jacket, right?
Although in winter, it’s normal for people to wear the same down jacket several days in a row.
But typically, pretty young girls change their outerwear frequently.
Noticing Chen Yan’s gaze, Lu Sisi blushed, "I... the other down jacket... got damaged earlier..."
Speaking, the girl looked at Chen Yan with a resentful expression.
Chen Yan froze, instantly understanding.
The incident when the phone hit Xiaozhao! Signs of drowning!
He had kicked her into the fountain...
Yeah, she seemed to be wearing a different color variation of the down jacket then.
"I... my living expenses are almost spent, I bought a new phone last time, and I’m afraid to ask for money from home, so..."
Watching the girl blush as she explained.
Chen Yan felt a pang in his heart.
He remembered what Lu Sisi had told him earlier: she always had bad luck that would affect her family, so her family didn’t really care for her.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic.
Girls her age, even if not as good-looking as her, unless the family is extremely poor.
Are mostly pampered by their families, with wardrobes full of clothes, who would only have two coats to wear in a whole winter?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan grabbed Lu Sisi’s arm and pulled her up.
Lu Sisi froze, didn’t ask anything, lowered her head and quietly said "okay", then obediently followed Mr. Chen the Benefactor.
