Chapter 39 I like taking walks with you

  Zhang Peng walked back to his dormitory, feeling depressed. His father had told him to think carefully, so he was being very obedient and thinking hard. However, what he was thinking about was why the school was so boring, and how it could make such a big fuss over a disciplinary decision for an ordinary student, which really didn't make sense.

  Zhang Peng thought he was a very cool person, but no matter how cool Zhang Peng felt, at this time he was just a student after all. So of course nobody would tell Zhang Peng about some things that happened in the principal's office that afternoon. So Zhang Peng couldn't figure out at all how all this had happened.

  Thinking of his father's extremely disappointed gaze and the last cold words, Zhang Peng's hatred for Chen Chufan grew even stronger. To what extent? Zhang Peng even thought that if Chen Chufan dared to appear in front of him at this time, he would definitely go up and fight with Chen Chufan to the death! Of course, if Chen Chufan really appeared, it would be unknown what the scene would be like. Everything was just Zhang Peng's inner YY at this moment.

  Disheartened Zhang Peng didn't choose to run back to his dormitory to reflect, instead he casually found a public phone booth by the road and dialed a number: "Hey, Kun Ge! Are you busy tonight? Want to come out for a drink?"

  Compared to the dejected Zhang Peng, Chen Chufan was much happier at this moment. He had completely stopped thinking about being punished. With so many people sincerely helping him, even if the school really couldn't revoke his punishment, what's the worst that could happen? At most, he would just stay in school and follow Professor Wang to learn music every day.

  At this time, he was walking with Han Xiaoxi along the Nanhu Lake. It was their first formal one-on-one date, so they were both a bit awkward. Today was Han Xiaoxi's initiative to invite him out, and she suddenly became considerate of Chen Chufan's mood at home, knowing that he wouldn't be in a good state, so she invited him to stroll around Nanhu Lake together.

  Han Xiaoxi originally wanted to call Ye Siyi, but today Ye Siyi didn't know which nerve was wrong and refused to come. Han Xiaoxi had no choice but to give up, or maybe deep down, Han Xiaoxi also wanted to be alone with Chen Chufan once.

  W City is one of the famous "furnace cities" in China, where there was a rumor that an African black man was sweating profusely. Although it's only early April, due to two consecutive days of sunny weather, the temperature has risen to over 20 degrees Celsius. Many confident young girls have already put on their floral skirts, which they had stored away for the entire winter, making the entire Nanhu Road look like a garden.

  Han Xiaoxi is one of them. Under a sweet light yellow blouse, paired with a white lady skirt, this big and careless little girl has added some elegant and quiet flavor. The seven-inch long sleeves can't cover the exposed white wrist, making her look like a carefree elf.

  That's right, it's a spirit. If Ye Siyi is like an immortal who doesn't eat the smoke and fire of the mortal world, then Han Xiaoxi is a happy little elf in the forest. Two girls with different styles, but both have a beauty that makes people feel amazed. So every passerby will involuntarily stop their gaze on Han Xiaoxi for a moment.

  Just like the couple who just walked by, hugging each other. The man was obviously a rookie, and when he stared at another girl while standing next to his girlfriend, he didn't even try to hide it. As soon as they brushed past Chen Chufan, he heard the girl beside the rookie ask in an extremely gentle voice: "Is she pretty?"

  "It's beautiful!" Chū Gē replied very honestly.

  "Go ahead and follow others to watch then! Why are you still following me? Scram!" The gentle tone turned into a fierce scolding in less than 10 seconds, leaving the poor guy no time to respond. The soft-spoken person suddenly transformed into a raging beast.

  When Chen Chufan and Han Xiaoxi turned around in surprise, the girl who was walking alongside Chu Ge had already stormed off, leaving only Chu Ge standing there, staring blankly at the retreating figure, then turning back to look at the two of them, seemingly still unsure of what to do.

  "Hmph!" Han Xiaoxi was amused by Chu Ge's silly expression, and quickly turned around, pulling Chen Chufan who was still looking around, to continue walking forward.

  "This kid is really pitiful! But it's a lesson learned, next time he won't be stupid enough to tell the truth!" Chen Chufan casually commented.

  "Hey, it seems our little Chen classmate is quite experienced? What's the point of not being stupid enough to tell the truth? From what you're saying, I should just coax and deceive Xiao Si if I can?" Han Xiaohui immediately became unhappy upon hearing Chen Chufan's casual remark, and questioned in a soft voice.

  "No, I really didn't mean it that way, I just felt sorry for the guy, so I casually sighed!" Chen Chufan was embarrassed, wondering what was wrong with himself. Hadn't he prepared well enough for love? How did he end up like that initial brother from earlier? He was blurting out everything. If Yang Tao were by his side, he would definitely be criticized seriously for at least an hour.

  "Oh? Really? Then you think I look good today?" Han Xiao Xi asked with her head tilted.

  "Of course, you look great! Actually, not just today, but you always look good!" Chen Chufan replied without hesitation. Besides, this is a big truth that doesn't need to be considered at all. The countless gazes of passersby staying on the girl's body have already proven this point.

  "Then tell me, who's more beautiful between me and Sisi?" Han Xiao Xi continued to ask.

  "Huh?" Chen Chufan was stunned for a moment, this seemed to have no comparability at all, two girls with different styles. "Both are good-looking!" Chen Chufan hesitated for a moment before responding.

  "You're so stupid!" Han Xiao Xi also gave a look of resentment towards the boyfriend in front of her, who had been made somewhat stunned by just one question from her.

  "You should answer me without hesitation at this time! It's only right that you do!" Han Xiao Xi prompted gently from the side, "Of course, if it were SiSi asking you the same question alone, you would also have to answer her without hesitation! Do you understand?"

  "Oh, I see?" Chen Chufan nodded humbly and then asked with a humble tone after a moment of thought: "Then Xiaohui, I'd like to ask you, if both of you were to ask me this question at the same time, how should I answer?"

  "Wow, you're reacting pretty quickly! Now you know that two girlfriends are going to test your IQ, huh? But I don't know either, it's up to you to handle it at the time. Anyway, you have to make both of us satisfied!" Han Xiaohei replied irresponsibly.

  Due to this little episode, the awkwardness of their first date gradually dissipated, and they began to stroll leisurely like a real couple, chatting about some unimportant but relaxing topics that allowed them to get familiar with each other. For example, in these unimportant conversations, Chen Chufan learned that Han Xiaoxi's birthday was December 30th, which is said to be the Scorpio girl. She loves to eat fried boneless chicken rolls from a small unnamed store outside the west gate of the school, and in her free time, she likes to listen to songs by Mayday, unfortunately, this year she heard the news that they disbanded, her past dream was to become a superstar, but unfortunately, her family did not agree.

  In short, Han Xiaoxi's various likes and helplessness all poured into Chen Chufan's ears, making Chen Chufan more and more familiar with the beautiful woman beside him who was like a little elf.

  "Chen Chufan, what kind of person are you?" After chatting for a while, Han Xiaohui suddenly blurted out such a very philosophical question.

  "What about me? I'm just an ordinary guy, no different from any random passerby on the street." Chen Chufan replied casually.

  "But I think you're really special, like the way you play the piano is great, you're so passionate, so powerful... Ah, anyway, you have many, many good points, don't you realize it yourself?" Han Xiaoxi said seriously, but encouraging and praising people wasn't really her strong suit, so her words were a bit pale. However, being able to hear such praise from the mouth of such a delicate little girl was in itself a very uplifting thing.

  Just after listening to Han Xiao Xi's encouragement, Chen Chu Fan didn't feel happy at all. The reason was simple: everything Han Xiao Xi said he was wasn't his original personality or ability. He was originally just an ordinary student who had never even touched a piano and couldn't play any other instruments. As for being passionate or having charisma? It really had nothing to do with him.

  "If, I mean if everything you said wasn't about me, or rather not the current me, then wouldn't you have completely ignored me? Not to mention becoming my girlfriend!" Chen Chufan suddenly spoke a string of words that left Han Xiaoxi bewildered.

  "You are who you are, what's not you? I'm saying this just to tell you that you're an excellent guy. So you don't need to worry about the school's punishment at all, got it?" Han Xiao Xi tilted her head and looked at Chen Chu Fan with a heavy expression, puzzled as to why her words would make the boy in front of her so emotional.

  Han Xiaoxi's words moved Chen Chufan. It turned out that the girl was afraid that he was still thinking about his own troubles and wanted to comfort him.

  "Thanks!" Chen Chufan said sincerely, "Actually, do you know? In the past, I was a very useless and silent person. My biggest dream was to graduate safely and steadily, then find a good job, earn enough money for my family and me to live a good life, that's all. Isn't it very unambitious?"

  "It's just a very ordinary ideal, can't say whether it's impressive or not! Many people think so too! But I feel that if you also think this way, then it would be a waste of your talent. By the way, don't tell our department's Professor Wang about this ideal of yours, otherwise he will definitely scold you until your face is covered in dog blood! I heard from SiSi that Professor Wang is planning to cultivate you into a future music master!" Han Xiaohui said with a smile.

  "And you? Do you also hope that I can become a music master?" Chen Chufan asked, gazing at Han Xiaoxi's elegant profile. He suddenly discovered that when Han Xiaoxi was quiet, she actually had the flavor of a classical beauty.

  "What's wrong with me? I didn't think that much. As long as you can happily accompany me every day, that's enough! No worries, living a happy life is more important than anything!" Han Xiao Xi sincerely replied.

  "Right! Just like today, being able to take a walk with you makes me very happy!" Chen Chufan said the first cheesy line of the day.

  Han Xiaoxi's pale face showed a hint of blush for the first time today.

  In a private room of a small restaurant outside the University of Political Science and Law, two young men were drinking wine over this table of food.

  "Didn't go find Wang Linlin today!" Zhang Peng asked.

  "Don't mention that woman, she was still flirting with me last night, I'm too lazy to bother with her! But what's going on with you today, why did you ask me out for a drink?" Wang Kun asked casually while chewing his food.

  "It's still not that Chen Chufan!" Zhang Peng said with a scowl.

  "Oh? Him again? Didn't you say your school was going to expel him?" Wang Kun asked with some surprise.

  "Things have changed, he might not be fired!" Zhang Peng said simply, clearly unenthusiastic.

  "Isn't it? Your old man has spoken, can he still be spared?" Wang Kun asked with some surprise.

  "I'm not sure about the specifics, maybe there's something going on with the school leadership. By the way, do you still have contact with Hongxin and those people?" Zhang Peng directly cut to the main topic of finding Wang Kun.

  Hong Xin, full name Hong Xin Yi Zu. Refers to a comprehensive entertainment venue near Zhongbei Min Da, including internet cafes, ice rinks, song halls and video halls. Those people refer to a group of hoodlums who used to hang out there for a long time.

  "You think I'm like you, using people when it's convenient and then ignoring them for years after they're no longer useful? That's your problem, Zhang Peng, your vision is too short-sighted. Now that you want to get in touch with others again, aren't you embarrassed to even ask?" Wang Kun sneered.

  "We're brothers, who's afraid of whom! You still have a connection, this time I must teach that Chen Chufan a lesson!" Zhang Peng heard the door on Wang Kun's side and started to get fierce.

  "Go ahead, find an opportunity to set up two tables, I'll help you invite those brothers to come and serve them well. Each person will get two packs of cigarettes, that's about it. But when do you plan to do it?" Wang Kun heard Zhang Peng's ruthless words and didn't know what Zhang Peng wanted to do, so he directly helped Zhang Peng make a decision.

  "Not for now, everyone knows I have a conflict with him recently, and something like this happens at this time. It's too easy to think of me! Let it pass for the time being! Before the final exams, let him stay in the hospital for a few days! Damn it, he made me retake one subject, I'll make sure he can't even take any subjects!" Zhang Peng said viciously. He even counted his embarrassment in Feng Wuqing's class as Chen Chufan's fault.

  Wang Kun gave Zhang Peng a somewhat disdainful look, but he covered it up well and didn't let Zhang Peng see his scornful gaze. Thinking of taking revenge on someone who is afraid of their own shadow, what are you waiting for, the wind to pass? It's really useless! Wang Kun thought to himself.
