She Is Brighter Than the Stars

The remaining few messages were covered up, and Li Shubai did not see the content.

His eyes returned to the book, but he could no longer read it.

After Cheng Nian woke up, Li Shubai reminded her.

“Your phone was ringing.”

Cheng Nian was still a little confused at first, but when she picked up the phone, she was shocked.

Seeing that Cheng Nian reacted so strongly, Li Shubai pretended to be concerned and said, “What’s wrong?”

Cheng Nian frowned slightly, tapped her fingers on the keypad, and replied casually, “It’s nothing.”

Li Shubai glanced lightly at Cheng Nian’s phone, and answered casually.

Cheng Nian put the phone aside, changed the topic and said, “Where are we studying this morning?”

Li Shubai opened the book indifferently, and continued to talk about what he didn’t finish in the morning.

Just when the scorching sun was about to stop, Cheng Nian’s cell phone rang, and she looked at her watch, “Let’s stop for today.”

Li Shubai glanced at her, “What’s the matter?”

Cheng Nian responded frankly. She tidied up the table and put the key of the eDonkey on the book.

“I won’t take the book. You can ride the car as you please. I will walk tomorrow. You tell your aunt that you don’t need to cook, and I will bring you breakfast.”

Before Li Shubai could answer, Cheng Nian left in a flash.

Li Shubai looked at the plush puppy hanging on the keychain of the car, and opened the exercise book beside him expressionlessly.

By the roadside, He Yunfei had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Cheng Nian’s late arrival, He Yunfei tilted his head and complained.

“Miss, do you know what the temperature is today? I have come from Hecheng, and you can’t even get out of a hut.”

Cheng Nian smiled and comforted him: “I’m studying, right, how do you know that Lin Fang is back?”

He Yunfei took out the phone and handed it to her.

“He contacted me. You see, he specifically asked me to call you. Do you think this kid still has more feelings for you?”

Cheng Nian rolled her eyes after reading Lin Fang’s text message to He Yunfei, and said seriously, “What’s the reason, he just came back from abroad and wanted to meet his old classmates.”

He Yunfei laughed and said: “Didn’t you see that he said that he must take you there? If you want me to say, it’s fake to see your classmates, but it’s true to want to see you. If he hadn’t gone abroad, you might still be together now. Well, what’s wrong with that Li Shubai, anyway?”

Cheng Nian pinched He Yunfei’s face, “Who is with him? Everyone is talking nonsense. It’s not like you don’t know.”

The three were inseparable at the beginning and have always been good friends.

For some reason, rumors about her dating Lin Fang spread, but she ignored them at first. Later, it was rumored as if it was true, which gave Cheng Nian a headache for a while.

Fortunately, Lin Fang went abroad after graduation, and the two lost contact.

He Yunfei put back his phone and handed Cheng Nian a cute helmet.

“Let’s go, he’s waiting at the restaurant, maybe he’s eating by now.”

Cheng Nian was quite surprised that He Yunfei would buy this kind of thing, and thought it fit well, so she said.

“The helmet is good, give it to me.”

He Yunfei looked sad.

“Little Orange*, can’t I have something nice?”

[her nickname, perhaps a play on words, her surname is Cheng (journey), he calls her Chengzi (orange)]

When they arrived at the hotel, all the students in the original class were basically present.

Lin Fang has a cheerful personality and has a good relationship with everyone. Knowing that he is back, everyone wants to meet him. It can be regarded as a class reunion.

When Cheng Nian and He Yunfei arrived, everyone was still sitting upright, and no one was eating, as if they were waiting for them.

“Here they are.”

She didn’t know who shouted, but everyone’s eyes gathered at the door.

As soon as He Yunfei entered, he smiled and said, “Hey, you’re all waiting for me.”

Lin Fang stood up hurriedly, “I’m not waiting for you, but for little orange.”

Cheng Nian poked her head out from behind He Yunfei, and said with a smile, “I’m here.”

Lin Fang looked at Cheng Nian and was stunned for a moment, then he laughed dumbly and said, “I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Cheng Nian stroked her hair, “You’ve also grown a lot taller.”

He Yunfei echoed: “Miss Cheng has changed a lot, she has started to study recently, and it is just around the corner to be admitted to Qingbei.”

Lin Fang smiled, “It’s a good thing to be willing to study, come on, sit down first.”

After Cheng Nian sat down, everyone started to move their chopsticks.

During the meeting, Lin Fang talked about the interesting things during the time he had spent abroad in the past two years. While everyone was envious, he also shared things around him.

The life of domestic students is relatively boring, but there are also topics such as which teacher fell off his headgear during class, who was secretly with whom and had their parents called, which remedial class is good, and what supplementary materials were bought.

After eating a meal for almost two hours, everyone was still unsatisfied with parting, so then moved to a KTV.

Originally, minors were not allowed to enter. It happened that a classmate’s elder brother was working at the front desk in a certain karaoke. He opened a big room for them but did not serve alcohol.

Everyone just wanted to get together, and they were just as happy after buying some melon seed drinks.

After ten o’clock, those with strict curfews went home, and the rest of the people gathered together in small groups. Two mic hogs sang in turn, serving as background music.

Cheng Nian was sitting between Lin Fang and He Yunfei, watching the two of them arguing over who was the most powerful fighter in Mr. Jin’s* novel, it seemed as if she had gone back to the past.

[Jin Yong, martial arts novelist]

After some time, He Yunfei went to the bathroom, and Cheng Nian and Lin Fang were left.

Lin Fang’s expression became serious, and he suddenly talked about things regarding the two of them in the past.

Cheng Nian smiled awkwardly, “I don’t know who spread those unreliable words. If I find out, I will resolve the misunderstanding.”

“It’s me.”

Cheng Nian was startled, then turned to look at Lin Fang.

The other party was staring at her tenderly, with anticipation written on his sunny and handsome face.

“I like you, always have.”

After the words fell, Cheng Nian felt her hand was being held.

Cheng Nian stayed there for a while, not knowing how to react, and even forgot to pull her hand back.

While panicking, a voice that doesn’t belong here saved her.

“Hi, your order has arrived.”

Cheng Nian suddenly withdrew her hand, pointed to the door, and asked the people in the room loudly, “Who ordered takeaway?”

A chubby boy raised his hand, “I ordered, and there are two more fried rice, which one of you is hungry, come and eat.”

“You can eat less.”

“I’ll have one.”

Cheng Nian put her arms around her chest, her heart was in a mess.

She thought the delivery man would leave after delivering the meal, but who knew he actually walked in.

Cheng Nian then raised her head to look at this person carefully.

Under the black peaked cap, Li Shubai said coldly with a little anger in his usual indifferent expression.

“You don’t study, do you just come here to play?”

Cheng Nian felt baffled, and thought, can you control me?

Before he could speak, Lin Fang stood up beside him and asked Li Shubai.

“Who are you?”

Lin Fang didn’t like the way Li Shubai looked at Cheng Nian very much, and his tone was a little aggressive.

Feeling an inexplicable smell of gunpowder between the two, Cheng Nian hurriedly got up and explained, “Lin Fang, this is my classmate.”

Lin Fang’s eyes softened a little, but he still stared at Li Shubai with displeasure, “Why did he come to see you?”

Cheng Nian was also confused, thinking of the awkward conversation with Lin Fang just now, she found an excuse and said, “I’ll go out and ask him.”
