Chapter 2850 - 2843: Not Angry Anymore

Ning Chenguang let out a cold snort, tightened the straps of his backpack without another word, and strode toward the gate of the compound.

He Yue knew he didn’t believe her. With how smart he was, how could he not see through such a clumsy excuse? He was just saving her pride. She’d better explain it properly to him once she got home.

"I’m heading back. You should go too." Chi Yan didn’t want to keep causing trouble for He Yue. It hadn’t been easy for her to stop rejecting him so much; he didn’t want to ruin all that goodwill in a single night.

"You’re something else. You lied and still dared to swear you’d be struck by five bolts of lightning from the heavens! Seriously, you’re something else..." Before leaving, He Yue couldn’t help muttering under her breath.

Chi Yan grinned at her words. "Is that you worrying about me? Don’t be scared, how many times a year does it even rain? And how many thunderstorms do we get? Think about how many people we’ve got in our country—how many news reports have you heard in a year about someone getting struck by lightning? The odds of that aren’t even as high as getting hit by a car the second you step out the door!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft! People’s mouths are poisonous. Don’t say stuff like that! If you miss out on it ten thousand times that’s fine, but if it hits you once, you’re done for." He Yue finished, then turned and ran off.

The gloom that had been weighing on Chi Yan’s mood suddenly lifted in that moment.

............

By the time she got home, He Yue finally caught up with Ning Chenguang.

"Chenguang, are you mad at me? About just now..."

"That boy just now lied." Ning Chenguang tossed out the sentence and headed upstairs.

He Yue hurried after him. At his bedroom door, she saw him changing clothes—his lean, well-proportioned build, firm chest muscles, and that incredibly sexy, irresistible V-line...

Her face flushed and her heart raced as she stared, unable to stop herself from swallowing again and again.

"Enjoying the view?" Ning Chenguang finished changing, raised a brow, and looked at He Yue.

"Yeah. Chenguang is the best-looking man in the whole world." He Yue narrowed her eyes, shamelessly laying it on thick.

"Really? I don’t see it. That boy tonight looked pretty good too. What do you think?"

"I didn’t notice. I only think Chenguang looks good; everyone else is all the same to me." Afraid Ning Chenguang might actually misunderstand, He Yue kept spilling sweet talk, trying to coax him into a better mood.

This whole thing really was impossible to explain. She honestly felt totally wronged.

"Yueyue, if you’ve taken a liking to someone else, tell me early. Don’t keep me in the dark. If you say it early, I can make plans early too." Ning Chenguang finished speaking and slammed the door shut with a bang.

"Say it early, make plans early for what? Make plans to leave me?" He Yue murmured through the door.

"Say it early so I can deal with him early." Ning Chenguang ground his teeth.

Hearing the voice from inside, He Yue couldn’t help letting out a snort of laughter. Chenguang had forgiven her.

.........

After a good night’s sleep, when He Yue opened her eyes and got up, Ning Chenguang had already come back from his morning run. He was wearing an apron in the kitchen, making breakfast for her.

A glass of milk, a fried egg, two slices of ham, two slices of bread—simple, but perfectly nutritious.

He Yue happily came down for breakfast and cautiously asked Ning Chenguang, "Chenguang, you’re not mad anymore, right? How about you come back and live here? I promise I’ll study hard and absolutely won’t disturb you."

"No. I’m going to be very busy lately. But I’ll keep an eye on your studies." Ning Chenguang stood up, collected the dishes, and headed to the kitchen. "You’re not allowed to date at school."
