Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
School was over for the day, so there were a lot of students walking down the stairs. Since he was blocked by the crowd, he roared in annoyance, "Move to the side!"
A path was instantly formed on the crowded stairs between the fourth and first floors.
Even so, he still missed her.
When he rushed out of the block of classrooms and reached the spot where he last saw "Cola girl," she was already gone.
He stood where she'd just been a moment earlier as his mood instantly soured.
He always thought he was a heartless person, but this was the first time in his life when he felt moved by love.
He was in a daze for a long while before he heard calls for "Chen Ge" from behind him. That was when he turned his head and saw Fatty and the gang, who were supposed to be cleaning the toilets, rush down in a hurry with their mops and brooms. They asked anxiously, "Chen Ge, who do you want us to beat up?"
"I wanna f*cking beat you up," thought He Jichen. He waved his hand dismissively as if to tell them to go back to what they were doing.
After the gang dispersed, he continued to stand rooted on the spot for a while before he headed back upstairs.
The gang didn't finish cleaning the toilets until the skies became dark. Everybody wore their backpacks out of school, walking with a united front. They headed to a Lamian 1 restaurant.
After paying for his food, Fatty asked, "Next stop: internet cafe?"
With a cigarette in his mouth, He Jichen didn't say a word until the la mian restaurant manager handed him his change. "You guys go. I'm not going."
Fatty asked, "Chen Ge, where do you want to go?"
He Jichen picked up his backpack and turned away from the gang. After he walked a distance away, he said, "Home."
Our Laoda is someone who "doesn't go home at night". What's gotten into him today? Laoda actually wants to go home?
The gang looked at each other as though they'd heard something unbelievable.
By the time he arrived home, it was already nightfall.
His dad came home late, so they'd only just finished dinner. When the nanny opened the door, she took his backpack and asked, " Er Shaoye 2 , have you had dinner?"
He wasn't in the mood to talk, so he mumbled "mm." He exchanged his shoes for slippers and only took two steps upstairs when his mum called out, "Ah Chen, come."
With tongue in cheek, he stood on the spot, his hands tucked in his pockets in annoyance. He pivoted on the spot to face the dining room.
He was just about to say "What?" in frustration when his eyes were drawn to the girl sitting next to He Yuguang. An old saying came to mind: "You travel far and wide only to find something right before your eyes."
The girl on my mind, the girl I spent over a whole month searching for, is actually sitting right here in my dining room, calmly and elegantly eating dinner with my family?!
In that moment, an infinite number of curses crossed He Jichen's mind.
