When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?-Chapter 44 - 0: Intimidation

After the mobilization meeting ended at exactly five forty, Tang Xing was practically buzzing with excitement on the way to the cafeteria.

"Yaoyao, Pei Yan was so cool today. He first said that he wanted to learn from you, then immediately changed his tune to ’if I don’t like someone’s face, I’ll hit them regardless,’ hahaha I’m going to die laughing, he’s so funny."

This girl’s threshold for humor was incredibly low, yet everyone found it amusing. However, Jiang Shuyao simply couldn’t muster a smile.

She hadn’t anticipated that the school would arrange for Pei Yan to go up right after her to read his reflection, especially when the little rascal deliberately mentioned her name, which almost made her want to find a hole to crawl into as the jeers from Class 2 nearly overwhelmed her.

With no reaction from those around her, Tang Xing reached out and waved her hand, "Yaoyao, you can’t be serious, you’re daydreaming even with my loud chatter?"

Jiang Shuyao was teased into a smile by her deskmate and nodded in acknowledgment of her, indeed, very loud voice, then with an innocent look in her eyes, she asked, "You don’t hate Pei Yan now?"

Uh.

Tang Xing scratched her head, pondering how to explain.

After a long while, she reluctantly said, "Before, Pei Yan had hit a teacher, and a lot of guys were afraid of him. I went along with the crowd and assumed he was a bad guy, but ever since I found out he’s your childhood friend, I guess I just..."

What’s that saying, love me, love my dog?

It’s just as simple as that for one person to change their attitude towards another.

Anyway, as far as Tang Xing was concerned, a boy who grew up with Yaoyao couldn’t possibly be all bad.

Her deskmate didn’t finish her thought, but Jiang Shuyao still immediately understood her, lightly smiling and giving an "Mhm" before dropping the subject.

After evening self-study, the two went to buy milk tea at Tea Ba Dao. While walking, Jiang Shuyao’s phone gently vibrated.

She opened WeChat to see a message from the person with the nickname "Little Rascal."

"Turn around."

Instinctively, she paused slightly but didn’t turn around as instructed.

She typed back with her head down: "I’m going to the milk tea shop, you go ahead, I’ll take the bus back." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

After that message, there was no response from the other side, and Jiang Shuyao guessed Pei Yan must have left.

Little did she know that as soon as she arrived at Tea Ba Dao’s door, she saw the young man casually descending the steps with two cups of milk tea in hand.

One of the cups contained mango pudding, bought for Jiang Shuyao.

The other, chosen randomly, was stuffed directly into the dumbfounded Tang Xing’s hands.

"You, you, you even bought one for me, thank you, I, I’ll just take it without being polite."

This was Tang Xing’s first face-to-face conversation with Pei Yan, and she was stunned to receive a free cup of milk tea right off the bat, so shocked that her speech stumbled.

Indeed, dealing with a school tyrant isn’t easy.

Regarding someone’s actions, Jiang Shuyao felt somewhat relieved.

The rascal had enough of a gentleman’s manner to know to buy two cups.

Her happiness lasted no more than three seconds, and before she prepared to part ways with her deskmate, she saw Pei Yan casually turn his head to Tang Xing and say, "If you dare to speak ill of me in front of her again, I’ll make you drink this entire shop dry."

"..."

A cold wind whooshed by, and under the bone-chilling gaze of the young man, Tang Xing shivered uncontrollably.

She looked at Jiang Shuyao with trembling eyes, seeking answers, "Can I, can I give the milk tea back?"

Jiang Shuyao felt embarrassed and helpless, and glared up at someone.

"He’s just joking, don’t be scared."

At times like this, besides saying that, she really didn’t know how to comfort her friend.

Yet a certain bandit insisted on contradicting her. While Tang Xing was still unsettled, he casually tossed out another line, "Don’t believe me? Try it."

This time, after terrifying the poor girl, the instigator simply turned around and walked away, leaving the victim nearly exploding on the spot.
