After finishing the statement, Wang Yue headed home.
Back home, Wang Yue glanced at the time. It was only 3:20 AM.
This time, Pan Huiying and Wang Jianguo did not blame Wang Yue. Seeing him return, they yawned and went back to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Wang Yue fell asleep in no time.
The next morning, Wang Yue woke up and opened the door to check. The doorknob was intact, which also made him feel happy.
Remembering his appointment with Qiao Zixuan today, Wang Yue checked the time. It was eight in the morning.
So, he slowly washed up and then went out.
Wang Yue arrived at the school entrance half an hour early. Due to the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, most shops were not open.
Wang Yue wandered around and found that there were indeed shops for rent.
"Prime Location for Rent: 159xxxxxxxx"
Wang Yue dialed the phone number.
"Hello?"
The call was connected, and a man's voice came from the other end.
"Hello, I saw a shop at your Erzhong entrance is for rent, is that right?"
"Ah, hello, hello, yes, yes. That location is good, no matter what business you do, you won't lose money."
"How big is your shop? What's the rent?"
"About 20 square meters. The rent is 2500 a month."
"How about 2000? I'll be a long-term tenant, at least for several years. Is this shop yours, boss?"
"It's mine. 2000 is a bit low. How about 2200?"
"2050."
...
After some back and forth, the price was settled at 2100 a month, paid annually.
The contract signing was scheduled for after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wang Yue pondered whether to ask the owner if the shop was for sale. Once he made money, he could buy the shop directly, saving a lot of trouble.
By now, the time was already 10:50.
Wang Yue returned to the school entrance again.
Although it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lingering autumn heat was still fierce. The temperature had already reached 28 degrees Celsius in the early morning.
Wang Yue looked up at the sky. It was sunny and clear, a weather that made one feel happy.
"Wang Yue! You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
Just then, a cheerful female voice called out.
Wang Yue looked over and was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
Today, Qiao Zixuan was wearing an off-the-shoulder white chiffon top and denim shorts, revealing her long, slender, and fair legs. She wore a pair of white sneakers and carried a small bag.
Her face had light makeup, and her two braids were tied with cute bows. Coupled with the air bangs on her forehead, her large eyes sparkled with life.
Wang Yue could only think of one word to describe Qiao Zixuan at that moment.
A runaway princess from Disney.
"Do I look good?"
Qiao Zixuan circled Wang Yue. Seeing his expression, she felt a surge of joy.
"You look great, exactly like a runaway princess from Disney."
Wang Yue smiled and gave a thumbs-up.
"Hehe."
Qiao Zixuan was very happy. It was worth her spending two hours meticulously getting ready.
"Where are we going now?"
Wang Yue asked.
"Happy Station!"
Qiao Zixuan replied with a smile.
"Aren't you going to tell me what I need to do today?"
As Wang Yue moved closer to Qiao Zixuan, he caught a faint scent. The girl had actually put on perfume.
"Do I need to be a shield for you? To block off some persistent bad guys who are chasing after you?"
Before Qiao Zixuan could answer, Wang Yue continued.
"Ah?"
Qiao Zixuan's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Because that's how novel plots usually go," Wang Yue said to himself. Then, he winked at Qiao Zixuan and said, "Because I can divine fortunes. Last night, I observed the stars and predicted this scene."
"Tsk~"
Qiao Zixuan smiled and said, "Then tell me what my college entrance exam score will be, and which university I want to go to?"
"I actually know that."
A grin spread across Wang Yue's face: "You want to get into Fudan University, with a score of 652."
"Wow!"
Qiao Zixuan exclaimed, "Really? I do want to go to Fudan. How did you know? I wish I could score that high on the college entrance exam."
"Don't worry, I've calculated it all. It's impossible for me to be wrong," Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Tsk~ If you can really predict it correctly, you can call yourself Wang Banxian from now on."
"Let's not talk about that. Tell me about this plan of yours today. Come on, who am I supposed to fend off?"
"It's my junior high deskmate. A very narcissistic guy. I heard he plans to confess to me today, which would be mortifying. So, I had to find you to help me ward him off."
Wang Yue indicated he understood and then suddenly asked, "Do I get any reward?"
"What reward do you want?"
Qiao Zixuan asked, blinking her big eyes.
"I want you..."
Wang Yue deliberately drew out the last word. He saw Qiao Zixuan's face instantly turn red, spreading to her neck. She looked like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite.
"Treat me to milk tea."
Qiao Zixuan was stunned for a moment. The blush quickly faded, and she said fiercely, "Hmph, can't you finish your sentence at once? If you want to drink ten cups or a hundred cups, I'll treat you!"
At the same time, Qiao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
If Wang Yue had really said "I want you," she wouldn't have known how to react.
Perhaps she would have refused?
After all, things were developing too quickly.
"The boss is generous!"
...
Meanwhile, at Happy Station.
In a private room, nine people were seated. In the center sat a handsome young man.
This young man had hair that was a bit long, extending past his earlobes. His hair looked meticulously styled, giving him the aura of a Korean heartthrob, even his features had a Korean star-like appeal.
"Zhong Sheng, are you really going to confess to our class beauty today?"
A boy asked curiously.
Zhong Sheng smiled charmingly, "I've liked Xuan Xuan for a long time."
The room erupted in cheers.
"To be fair, only Zhong Sheng is qualified to be with our class beauty, right? A match made in heaven, how pleasing to the eye."
"It's been a while since I've seen the class beauty. I wonder if she's grown less attractive?"
"Get lost! Girls mature and become more beautiful. The class beauty will only look better now."
"If you ask me, the class beauty will definitely fall for him today. If I were the class beauty, I wouldn't be able to resist such a handsome guy pursuing me."
Hearing the chatter, Zhong Sheng maintained a faint smile on his face.
His phone screen flickered with a dim light, displaying a picture of Qiao Zixuan.
Seated diagonally opposite Zhong Sheng was a girl dressed flamboyantly.
She kept staring at Zhong Sheng, biting her lips tightly. No one noticed that her fingernails were digging into her flesh.
"Why, why are you only looking at the class beauty? I've liked you for so long, and you don't feel anything?"
Next to the girl sat a rather unattractive boy who noticed her emotional state.
He quickly asked, "Xiao Fang, what's wrong?"
Cao Fang's expression suddenly relaxed, and she glanced coldly at the boy, "Nothing."
