Chapter 38 The Boiling Crowd (1/2)

He finally responds, and Xiaonan is relieved. “I haven’t completed registering yet, so I don’t know which class I’m supposed to be in. All I know is that I’m in the second year. Shouldn’t I be a grade over you?”

“So you’re an year older than me, I thought you’d be younger!” She cheerfully smiles at him before the car comes to a halt. She, then, looks around and realizes they’re about twenty meters from the drop-off. Why did they stop before reaching the Stein gates?

“What’s going on, uncle?” Meng Xiaonan asks the driver.

The driver turns and says, “There seems to be a crowd in front of the gate, miss. Would it be okay to drop you off here?”

“A crowd?” Meng Xiaonan curiously stands up and peers through the window. Sure enough, a sea of people, mostly girls, with varying lengths of shortened skirts leap. Don’t these people know this is Stein College and not a discount store?

I don’t know what’s going on, but let’s go, Dongyu!” She tugs him out of the car through his bag.

This may be the first time he’s come to the school as a student, but he can’t count the numerous times he’d been on this campus to steal a glance at his father when he picked up Han Qilu.

“Hey!” Meng Xiaonan reaches out to him and asks him with a smile. “What are you doing? Are you stupefied at the [campus’] beauty?”

“No.” Dongyu shakes his head and looks at the crowd. “What are they doing?”

“I don’t know.” She suddenly grabs his hand and says, “Let’s squeeze in and see… .”

Dongyu doesn’t have time to refuse, and is lead into the crowd.

“Excuse me, thank you!” Meng Xiaonan squeezes herself through the crowd without hesitation. It’s then she realizes that she has lost Liu Dongyu when his hand is suddenly absent from hers.

He can manage himself. He won’t get lost anyway.

There’s a commotion going on, but when she scans the scene, all she sees is a black car. Albeit it’s an expensive car, people from this school don’t have a shortage in seeing luxury vehicles. Why are they staring at it?

“Hey, what are you looking at? Who’s in the car?” She asks one of the girls in the crowd.

The girl was chatting with her friends, and couldn’t be bothered until she realizes who she is: Meng Xiaonan, Xiao Mingluo’s girlfriend. Her disposition suddenly changes.

“It’s Han Qilu. We can tell by the car plates,” she truthfully answers.

Flabbergasted, she stammers, “God… you… .” These girls are too much for recognizing a car just by its plates!

She looks at her watch and says, “So, what are you doing here? Hasn’t the young master come out yet? There’s ten minutes till the school bell rings.”

The girl grins at Xiaonan’s statement. Her friend chimes in. “We haven’t seen the young master in so long, being late for class because of him won’t be a loss.”

They consider this a good loss? Won’t they have enough opportunities to see Han Qilu now that he’s back in class? Should his appearance make such a scene?

Meng Xiaonan is about to leave when she realizes that if Han Qilu is in the car, An Chuxia should be in the car, too! She wanted to knock on her window, but she knows she wants to live to see the morrow. She doesn’t want to die an instant death in Qilu’s hands.

She just has to wait for them to exit.

One of the door cracks open, and a girl suddenly starts screeching.

“Young master Han Qilu, we love you!”

“I will die for you, young master Han!”

“Welcome back, young master Qilu!”

“God, young master Han, you are getting more and more handsome!”

.

A variety of flower idiots scream, and all she can do is cover her ears and hide from the crowd so he won’t be able to see her. If Han Qilu wants to be vengeful, he’d be able to pluck her from the ground and make her lose face!

As Han Qilu emerges, so does the steward. He apologizes to Qilu and says. “I am sorry you had to wait so long. Please go ahead.”
