Chapter 13 (1/2)
Don’t Be Mad
Xu Jiaojiao was in no hurry to leave. Her drawing was almost done. After a while, all the students around her left, leaving her sitting alone in the classroom to finish up the last bit of drawing. Finally, she slowly packed her things and left the room. When she reached the school gate, her phone rang.
It was a message from Su Luo, asking if she had finished class. She said that she was at the milk tea shop next door and asked if Xu Jiaojiao wanted to join her for some hotpot. It was probably her way of apologizing for how she had left Xu Jiaojiao alone last night.
Xu Jiaojiao agreed and quickened her pace. Just as she was about to look for Su Luo, she heard a familiar voice not far away. “Jiaojiao.”
Xu Jiaojiao turned around and saw Lu Zhuo getting out of the car and walking towards her. She could tell that he had specially dressed up. He was wearing a white shirt and gray trousers as he walked over with the sun against his back. He was so handsome that he attracted the attention of many people.
“Did you stay in the classroom to draw again?” Lu Zhuo’s voice was filled with a sense of familiarity, as though he knew Xu Jiaojiao all too
well.
His gentle words made it seem as if nothing had happened before.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded and asked, “What about it?” Her cold attitude took Lu Zhuo by surprise, and he could not help but laugh. “Are you still angry with me?” As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand to stroke Xu Jiaojiao’s head. However, before he could touch Xu Jiaojiao’s hair, Xu Jiaojiao took a step back and avoided his touch.
Lu Zhuo’s arm froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
Xu Jiaojiao acted as if she did not notice Lu Zhuo’s actions and said indifferently, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” After saying that, she turned around and left. Seeing that she really wanted to leave, Lu Zhuo could only suppress the strange emotions in his heart and promptly called out, “Jiaojiao.”
Xu Jiaojiao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. Actually, she could more or less guess what Lu Zhuo wanted to say, but she did not want to hear it. From the day of the wedding, when he abandoned her for Bai Mengyao, she no longer had any expectations for him.
