Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Our Memories
No matter how agitated or wild she became, Qin Xueling was still taken away—escorted to the place she deserved to be.
Meanwhile, Shen Nian, who was still at school, knew nothing of Qin Xueling’s fate.
However, even if Shen Nian did know, she would probably just think that Qin Xueling was getting what she deserved.
"Sister-in-law, let’s hurry back and tell Mom and Dad the good news! You’re the provincial top scorer!"
"Yeah, Sis! Mom, Dad, and Big Brother will definitely be so happy when they find out!"
After walking out of the auditorium, Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue each flanked Shen Nian, holding onto her arms as they spoke.
However, before Shen Nian could speak, Lu Cheng grabbed Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue, hoisted them up, and tossed them aside.
’Are you kidding me? The spot next to Shen Nian is mine, and these two actually dared to fight me for it!’
Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue, who had been unceremoniously lifted and moved, felt like crying but had no tears. ’If he was going to blame us for taking the spot next to Shen Nian, he could have just said so! Manhandling us like this makes us look like a pair of idiots! We have our pride, you know!’
"Sis..."
"Sister-in-law..."
Not daring to confront Lu Cheng, Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue both looked to Shen Nian, their expressions full of silent blame for him.
However, Lu Cheng moved to stand directly in front of Shen Nian, blocking them from even getting the chance.
"Since you’re so eager, you two can head back first. The task of delivering the good news is all yours."
"..."
"..."
They did want to share the good news, but they wanted to be with Shen Nian more! How could he just shoo them away like this?
"Brother, if we go back, what about you two?"
Lu Xinyue asked Lu Cheng, not ready to give up. She was finally starting to understand: when her big brother got ruthless, he was truly more than she could handle.
"Us? We’re going on a date."
Lu Cheng smiled and said calmly.
But while Lu Cheng was calm, the other three were not.
"A date!"
Lu Xinyue and Shen Xiangnan exchanged a shocked glance before looking at Shen Nian. Sure enough, there was surprise on her face, too.
"What, is it strange for us to go on a date?"
Lu Cheng asked, looking at Lu Xinyue and Shen Xiangnan.
"Not strange, not strange at all."
Lu Xinyue and Shen Xiangnan waved their hands frantically. What else could they do? They were no match for Lu Cheng; after all, they were just a couple of weaklings he could pick up and toss aside at will.
"Well, we’ll be heading back first then!"
It couldn’t be helped. As much as they didn’t want to go, they had no choice but to leave now that they knew Lu Cheng wanted to go on a date and have some private time with Shen Nian.
Watching Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue look back every few steps before finally departing, the expression on Lu Cheng’s face finally softened.
’Those two. They were intruding on my private time with Shen Nian. They should have left long ago.’
"So, about this date you mentioned... why is this the first I’m hearing of it?"
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng with an unhurried, teasing gaze. She had indeed been a little surprised just now, not expecting to hear the word "date" come from Lu Cheng’s lips.
"It’s not too late to know now."
"Alright then. So how are you planning to date me?"
Shen Nian was genuinely curious about his answer to that question. ’With his level of experience with girls, does he even know what you’re supposed to do on a date?’
"This is your school."
"That’s right. I studied here for three years!"
"Then I want to go to every place you’ve been, leave our footprints together, and create memories that belong to us."
Three years was a long time, and there were surely many places full of memories. Lu Cheng couldn’t be a part of the time that had already passed, but he hoped that from now on, whenever Shen Nian thought back on any part of this school, he would be there in her memories.
