Chapter 30: Could it be that he wants to kiss me?
Chen Jianye was excitedly about to make a phone call, but suddenly looked up at Chen Meiyun.
"Why don't you come to my place tonight..."
But he was immediately interrupted by Chen Fan's second aunt.
"That's enough, if we go to your place, we'll have to cook again. Let's just stay at my house, the food is already prepared."
"I'll just stir-fry a few more dishes..."
"You call the other two over first, let's just celebrate with our own family. When you hold the admission banquet for Xiao Fan later, we can invite all the relatives to join the fun."
Chen Jianye thought about it and nodded.
"You're right, let's do as you say."
Seeing his father starting to call his uncles, and his second aunt excitedly chatted with his mother Li Jinqiu.
The whole family was completely immersed in the great surprise and happiness.
Chen Fan walked out of the house alone and stood in front of the gate.
He looked up at the starry sky above.
And clenched his fist slightly.
The college entrance examination, he had finally passed it smoothly and without incident.
He wondered what Su Ruochu was doing at the moment?
How many points did she score?
Was she thinking of him?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan became restless.
"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."
Before his mother Li Jinqiu could respond, Chen Fan had already dashed out of the courtyard.
"Where are you going?"
His mother Li Jinqiu came out after him.
"I'm going to ask my classmates about their scores..."
"Aren't you going to eat? Your uncles will be here soon."
Chen Fan hopped on his bicycle and was already running out of the courtyard.
"I've had enough. Don't wait for me, I'll be back home tonight."
With that, he was gone in a flash.
"This kid..."
Li Jinqiu shook her head, but there was a gratified smile on her face.
If it were any other time, Li Jinqiu would have scolded Chen Fan for going out alone at night.
But now, no matter how she looked at her son, she was satisfied.
Chen Fan pedaled furiously, heading straight to the town.
He rushed all the way to Su Ruochu's neighborhood and slipped in when the security guard wasn't paying attention.
In his previous life, Chen Fan and Su Ruochu started dating in their sophomore year of university.
During that winter break, Chen Fan had secretly come to visit Su Ruochu.
So he had some memory of which building Su Ruochu lived in.
Relying on his memory, he found the building where Su Ruochu lived and started counting the floors.
On the fifth floor, he saw that the lights were still on.
Chen Fan knew there must be someone home.
But how could he contact Su Ruochu?
Should he just barge in like that?
Without thinking, the consequence would definitely be getting chased out by her parents.
For a moment, Chen Fan stood downstairs, feeling a bit melancholic.
It seemed like the Heavens heard Chen Fan's plea.
Just as Chen Fan was about to turn around and leave with his bicycle,
A familiar figure appeared on the balcony of the study room on the fifth floor.
Chen Fan's eyes lit up with delight.
He excitedly looked at that graceful figure.
Su Ruochu was wearing a fluffy dress.
With her hands resting on the railing, the moonlight poured down on her slim and graceful body, as if enveloping her in a sacred glow.
Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and Su Ruochu gazed silently at the distant starry sky.
Wondering what Chen Fan might be doing at the moment?
How many points did he score?
Was he thinking of her?
It must have been a case of telepathy.
Her gaze swept downwards.
And then she froze, her expression filled with disbelief.
She stared blankly at the figure standing downstairs, so familiar.
Su Ruochu even doubted if she was seeing things.
Until the figure downstairs raised a hand and waved at her.
Su Ruochu was immediately overjoyed, covering her mouth with her little hands to avoid screaming out loud.
"You... how did you come here?"
Su Ruochu called out softly.
But unfortunately, Chen Fan downstairs couldn't hear her at all. He gestured with his hands, but it wasn't clear what he meant.
"Wait for me. I'll be right down."
Su Ruochu pointed at herself, then at Chen Fan.
Then she turned and rushed back into the house.
A few minutes later, a beautiful figure dashed out from the corridor.
After taking two or three steps out of the corridor entrance, Su Ruochu suddenly braked abruptly.
Regaining her graceful demeanor, she walked towards Chen Fan with her head lowered in a reserved manner.
"You... how did you come here?"
Chen Fan grinned.
"I missed you."
Su Ruochu's little face turned red, feeling a bit shy.
"Were you thinking of me just now on the balcony?"
Chen Fan joked with a smile, not really expecting Su Ruochu to answer.
But unexpectedly, after a moment of hesitation, Su Ruochu lightly nodded.
"Mmm..."
That barely audible murmur was this girl's most proactive expression of feelings.
Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu in front of him, his ardent gaze unabashedly appreciative.
After a few days apart, Su Ruochu had trimmed her long hair shorter, with bangs cut across her forehead, making her look cute yet graceful.
Being stared at and scrutinized like this by Chen Fan, Su Ruochu felt a bit awkward.
"What are you looking at?"
"My wife is so pretty."
"Nonsense. Who's your wife!"
"It's true."
Chen Fan said with a smile, "You look really beautiful dressed like this today, I really like it."
"Smooth-talker!"
Su Ruochu let out a light tsk, but the curvature of her eyes and the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her current mood.
Chen Fan smiled and extended an invitation.
"Shall we go for a walk?"
Su Ruochu hesitated for a moment.
"I... can't be out for too long, my mom is still at home..."
Chen Fan nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry. Just a few minutes, and then I'll safely send you back."
"If you're really not at ease, should I give you the police officer's phone number?"
Su Ruochu rolled her eyes charmingly.
Without a word, she took the lead and walked towards the exit of the neighborhood.
Chen Fan smiled and quickly followed, pushing his bicycle.
The two of them didn't notice that at this moment, on the balcony of the fifth floor,
Su Ruochu's mother, Lin Wanxiu, was standing on the balcony with a gloomy expression, her gaze fixed on their retreating figures, her expression unpleasant.
On the street, the two young people walked side by side.
Under the streetlights, their shadows gradually merged together, looking like a couple in an embrace.
Su Ruochu kept her head lowered, silent.
Chen Fan pushed his bicycle with one hand, while the other hand swung back and forth seemingly casually.
Finally, their fingers lightly brushed against each other.
Then they quickly separated, as if electrified.
At last, Chen Fan mustered his courage and gently took Su Ruochu's little hand.
Su Ruochu's face turned red, but this time she didn't object or withdraw her hand.
With reddened cheeks, she exchanged a glance with Chen Fan, who immediately broke into an innocent, foolish grin.
"Just for a little while."
Su Ruochu was defeated by this guy's childlike expression.
So she allowed him to hold her hand, and the two of them walked aimlessly like that.
Finally, Chen Fan spoke up.
"You've checked your college entrance exam scores, right? How many points?"
"584," Su Ruochu said softly.
Chen Fan smiled, looking at her with a hint of pride.
"I scored 603."
Su Ruochu suddenly pursed her lips in a smile.
"I already knew that."
"You knew?" Chen Fan widened his eyes.
"Mmm. This afternoon, the teacher called my house, and I asked about your score then."
"The teacher said your score even surprised him."
"And your exam score this time ranked in the top ten of the whole school, and the top thirty of the entire district."
Su Ruochu looked delighted, seeming very proud of Chen Fan.
As if remembering something, she suddenly turned to look at Chen Fan.
"With 603 points, you could actually try applying to those famous universities."
"Do you regret choosing to apply to Yunhai University with me?"
Chen Fan grinned and tightly gripped Su Ruochu's little hand.
"No regrets."
"No matter how high I scored, it wouldn't mean anything to me."
"My only wish is to go to the same university as you."
Hearing these words, Su Ruochu felt great inside, giving Chen Fan a charming look.
Under the dim glow of the streetlights, Su Ruochu's gaze was beautiful and alluring.
Chen Fan stared at her, somewhat entranced.
As if sensing Chen Fan's ardent gaze, Su Ruochu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became nervous.
Could it be that he wants to kiss me?
Just as Su Ruochu was at a loss, Chen Fan's head had already begun to slowly lean in close.
In that moment, Su Ruochu tensed up, her mind going blank.
What should I do?
Should I... refuse?
