When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?-Chapter 53 - 0: A Narrow Road Meeting

Jiang Shuyao tossed and turned all night, experiencing the taste of insomnia until three in the morning for the first time.

Her skin had always been naturally good, but once her routine was disrupted, dark circles would appear exceedingly promptly.

Not only that, she was completely unable to muster any energy during the entire morning self-study session and spent it in a drowsy haze.

In the last five minutes, as soon as the class teacher stepped out of the classroom, Tang Xing immediately leaned over, "Yaoyao, did you stay up late last night?"

Suffering from insomnia with closed eyes, does it count as staying up late?

Jiang Shuyao looked over at her deskmate listlessly and apologized, "I’ve not been feeling well lately, I wanted to rest at home over the weekend, so I probably won’t make it to Ice and Snow City."

The words ’skiing’ had undoubtedly become her shadow.

And thinking of that bastard Pei Yan made it even more uncomfortable.

She never knew that one person’s actions could affect her to such an extent.

She also didn’t know when exactly Pei Yan had started liking her.

The bell for the end of class rang, and her thoughts were interrupted by a pale hand waving in front of her. She looked up to see Tang Xing looking at her with concern, "Yaoyao, are you not feeling well? How about I help you ask the sports committee to excuse you from running later?"

Jiang Shuyao shook her head.

"No, running is just the thing to clear my head."

Ah?

Tang Xing blinked and inwardly exclaimed, "A true student role model indeed, this level of self-control is maddening."

She had hoped to loaf around together, oh well.

Five minutes before the morning run, when class six students arrived at the sports field, the class near the basketball court was already neatly lined up.

Someone was surprised, "Which class is that? They’re so proactive."

"It seems like it’s class two. What’s up with them today? Look, each one is as if they’ve been injected with chicken blood."

"I heard their sports committee changed."

"Who did they change to?"

"Boss Pei." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Pfft, well, that explains it."

The group discussed as they passed by, with Tang Xing rolling her eyes heavily, "Boss Pei again, think you’re all that just because your surname is Pei? All you do is threaten people, not a bit of gentlemanly demeanor."

The little girl was still holding a grudge over the incident at the milk tea shop’s door last night. This time, Jiang Shuyao was too lazy to defend Pei Yan, and she only offered a faint smile without a word.

Soon the whistle blew, and the classes started jogging in succession along the rubber track.

At first, everyone was behaving, but then many boys sped up. The girls who couldn’t keep up were resigned to trailing slowly behind the end of the line.

Especially those from class two, who came barreling from behind like a whirlwind, completely disregarding formation and disrupting the entire order of the morning run like a herd of wild horses.

While running, Jiang Shuyao and Tang Xing looked around and suddenly realized their class was gone.

"Hey, student, stop blocking my way, can you move aside?"

Tang Xing felt speechless. The track was so wide, yet those boys just had to run in front of her. Running was fine, but what was the point of swaying left and right, were they drawing a map?

After a while without hearing her deskmate’s footsteps, Jiang Shuyao looked back instinctively and was directly stunned.

The two, who had been close together just a few minutes ago, were now separated by a galaxy-wide distance.

She slowed down slightly, planning to run and wait for Tang Xing.

Just as she turned her head, someone else appeared beside her.

Pei Yan, dressed in a black tracksuit, his profile cold, jogged at a relaxed pace in the inner lane to her left.

He didn’t speak to her, his thin lips firmly set, the air around him cold and distant.

To meet on a narrow path was probably just so.

After what happened last night, their unexpected meeting was too much for Jiang Shuyao, and she couldn’t remain unaffected.

She slowly withdrew her gaze and quickened her pace, planning to get past him.

However, just as the thought arose, she immediately changed her mind.

Two minutes later.

Pei Yan stood expressionlessly on the track, watching coldly as the girl headed straight for the women’s restroom without looking back.

Far away, Chen Jin and his two friends were mesmerized.

"That was such a rare opportunity; how could Brother Yan let her slip away?"

Xu Kanfeng was worried about something else, "When is Brother Yan going to win over Sister Yao? That painting has been at my place, keeping me up at night."

He longed to sell it off and then never have to see the Xu family’s faces again.

Yet, not for a hundred dares would he actually do it.

Sighing, as Xu Kanfeng was tearfully lost in thought, He Qingzhou spoke up, "Pull yourselves together, we’ll need your cooperation later."

Chen Jin’s eyes lit up; did the strategist have a new plan?
