When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?-Chapter 13 - 0: It’s Just What She Could Do

In the afternoon, Lu Chen came back early. When he arrived at the classroom, only a few people were sitting around. As he walked past the podium, he glanced at the solution steps written on the blackboard and unconsciously paused in his tracks.

Seeing his serious attention, a male student joked timely, "Class monitor, you now have a competitor. You’ll have to work hard to keep your position as number one in the grade next time."

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze from the blackboard, a light smile spreading across his clear brows, "Being number one has gotten tiresome. It’s not bad to switch things up."

"..."

The male student, in silent admiration, gave him a big thumbs up. Truly a genius student—such a mentality was simply incredible.

At two-forty, class began. Jiang Shuyao thought she should ask Lu Chen for help returning an umbrella and arrived at school half an hour early.

Entering the classroom, she found the helpful class monitor already sitting at his desk, reading a book about architecture.

Another child with dreams of architecture, what a pity she wasn’t as on track as he was.

After washing her hair at home, Jiang Shuyao’s faint scent wafted around the small space, causing the person reading across from her to look up.

Lu Chen saw the girl staring at the book in his hand with a furrowed brow, and couldn’t help but smile, "Are you also interested in architecture?"

Huh?

She snapped back to reality, then denied it, "No, not interested."

Actually, she was quite averse to it.

At home, one of her relatives wanted her to study medicine, and the other wanted her to study architecture. They often argued about it.

As for what she truly liked, her parents never really cared.

Jiang Shuyao didn’t want to think about these troubles and quickly changed the subject, mentioning the umbrella situation to Lu Chen.

Just as expected, he agreed readily after hearing about it.

"You’re new here, so feel free to ask me for help if you run into any difficulties in the future. Don’t be shy."

As Lu Chen spoke, he closed his book. His already handsome features became even more gentle with his smile, always giving one a refreshing feeling whenever they talked.

For some reason, Jiang Shuyao suddenly thought of Pei Yan.

Both were boys, yet why did that bastard have to choose the opposite path?

Was it fun being a school tyrant? Did it bring a sense of accomplishment?

She couldn’t understand.

At that moment, in Class 2, a group of rich second generations were sitting at the back of the classroom playing cards.

Among the group, Pei Yan, chewing gum, threw down his last pair of Aces. Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the classroom door.

Looking towards the sound, Chen Jin mockingly said, "Isn’t that Principal Lu’s son? Why isn’t he staying in his ’aircraft carrier class’ and coming to our place instead?"

"Haha, ’aircraft carrier class,’ damn I’m going to die laughing."

The group of rich kids laughed so hard they bent back and forth, their shoulders shaking like sieves.

After winning three rounds, Pei Yan, bored, pushed the cards away and motioned with his chin to Xu Kanfeng, "Go ask that principal’s son what he wants."

Sure thing.

Kanzi ran off swiftly and returned within ten seconds.

"Brother Yan, he said something about returning an umbrella. I think the umbrella handle looks like yours."

Pei Yan glanced lazily, "Are you sure?"

Xu Kanfeng nodded repeatedly.

Hmm.

Interesting.

Pei Yan supported himself on his knee and stood up, sauntering towards the classroom door.

Seeing the harsh-looking youth, Lu Chen was slightly surprised, apparently not expecting the boy who lent the umbrella to Jiang Shuyao to be him.

In the silence, Pei Yan lazily leaned against the doorframe.

Following that, his dark, cold eyes fell carelessly on the umbrella in Lu Chen’s hand, tsking, "That’s definitely something she would do."

Apparently not surprised, Pei Yan finished speaking and turned back into the classroom, leaving a message, "Tell Jiang Shuyao the umbrella is mine; she doesn’t need to return it."

Lu Chen frowned and didn’t respond, but after a moment of thought, he bent down and placed the umbrella at the classroom door.

Just as he walked away, Chen Jin sneered, "Brother Yan, that Lu kid deserves a beating."

"Why don’t you do it, and Brother Yan will cover your medical expenses?" Xu Kanfeng slapped his shoulder, barely concealing his mockery.

Such clueless fools couldn’t see that the boss was simmering with anger.

Daring to add fuel, truly not afraid of making things worse.
