Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Wu Mingshi was threatened by Xiao Jiannan to promise not to reveal his identity and their plans.
On the other side, Ye Jinmeng and several others walked out of the hot pot restaurant and headed towards the school gate.
Ye Jinmeng stroked his round belly, satisfied from the meal, and chatted with Xu Wanwan as they walked in front. Shi Shuning and He Junting followed behind them at an unhurried pace.
"Junting, later I and fatty Jinmeng will go to the playground, you and Wanwan can leave first," Shi Shuning said in a low voice next to He Junting.
He Junting looked at him expressionlessly without making a sound.
Seeing He Junting's cold, hard face, Shi Shuning pleaded, "Junting, brother Junting, please just do your brother a favor and think about my lifelong event! I still have something to tell fatty Jinmeng."
Annoyed by Shi Shuning, He Junting sighed and slowly said, "No next time."
"Got it!"
Shi Shuning patted He Junting on the shoulder and quickly walked to Ye Jinmeng, gently patting his belly. "Fatty Jinmeng, you ate too much tonight. I must take you to the playground to walk off the food, or else you'll get indigestion at night."
Ye Jinmeng was confused by the pat on his belly, almost jumping up to hit him when he heard Shi Shuning’s words. Fortunately, Xu Wanwan understood Shi Shuning’s signal and quickly spoke up.
"Jinmeng, I think senior Shi is right. Walking helps digestion, and most importantly, you don't have to worry about gaining weight. So you should go with senior Shi."
Shi Shuning gave Xu Wanwan a "well done" look and immediately said, "You see, junior Wanwan agrees, so taking a walk will be good for you."
Ye Jinmeng thought about it and realized they were right, he did eat a bit too much tonight, so walking off the food would be good.
Then he turned his head to Xu Wanwan and asked, "You're not going?"

"Ah...I won't go. I have calculus homework to do, so I need to go back to the dorm and work on it."
"I see." *sighs* Can’t walk around the field with Wanwan, how disappointing!
Thinking that Ye Jinmeng was worried about Xu Wanwan's safety, Shi Shuning timely added: "Don’t worry fatty Jinmeng, Junting will escort Wanwan back to her dorm, so you can rest assured."
Xu Wanwan was shocked and hurriedly declined, "No need, I can..."
Before she could finish, Shi Shuning interrupted her, "It’s okay Wanwan, with Junting you'll absolutely be safe, right Junting?" Shi Shuning gave He Junting a meaningful look. He Junting nodded expressionlessly, "Mm."
"Then please brother Junting for sending Wanwan back to the dorm!" Ye Jinmeng said to He Junting, and then Shi Shuning pulled him towards the direction of the playground.
Xu Wanwan: ......
The two people left behind were silent.
Xu Wanwan's heart was beating wildly, she didn't know if it was from nervousness, excitement or happiness, and didn't dare raise her head to look at the man she had loved and who had loved her in her previous life.
"Let's go," He Junting broke the awkward atmosphere and walked forward.
Seeing this, Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and followed closely behind He Junting, keeping a one step distance between them.
The street lamps shone on the two people, casting long shadows.
Xu Wanwan lowered her head, watching her feet take step after step. What were her feelings towards He Junting now? She didn't know.
Raising her head and looking at the straight back in front of her, she still couldn’t help feeling heartache.
I guess...I still like him. Xu Wanwan thought.
I miss him so much! In her previous life she didn't get to see him one last time before she died. She wondered how he was doing in that other space-time, would he grieve and feel heartbroken over her death?
He should take revenge for her right? That’s what Xu Wanwan thought to herself.
But the He Junting in front of her now wasn’t the one who had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Xu Wanwan lifted her head, trying hard not to let the moisture in her eyes fall.
The moon was full and bright in the sky. Xu Wanwan looked up at the round moon, silently wishing in her heart that it would let her dream about him, so she could see how he was doing, and also tell him that she was living well in this other space-time now.
Lost in her thoughts, Xu Wanwan suddenly bumped straight into He Junting's sturdy back, her nose hitting painfully.
"Ow..." Xu Wanwan covered her nose, staring accusingly at the man who had abruptly stopped. Her nose stung badly, and the tears she had just held back instantly welled up.
He Junting: ......
"You're at your dorm," He Junting said flatly.
Only then did Xu Wanwan see the dorm building in front of them.
"Sorry, I was too absorbed in my thoughts just now and didn't pay attention..." Xu Wanwan wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Ah, it was all because she had gotten too caught up in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed...
"Hmm, go in then," He Junting said and then turned to walk back the way they had come.
"Wait!" Xu Wanwan suddenly called out to stop him.
"What is it?" He Junting turned his head.
Looking into his eyes, Xu Wanwan felt a bit nervous but still mustered her courage to say, "I...I just want to say, I don't have any malice towards Jinmeng. She's a good girl, so..."
You guys don't have to be on guard against me all the time. However, Xu Wanwan didn't say that last part out loud. After all, whether they chose to trust her was up to them, she couldn't interfere. She could only prove herself with time.
He Junting hadn't expected Xu Wanwan to say this. He thought that the other was just an ordinary girl after all, she wouldn’t be able to make any big waves.
He faintly nodded his head, "Mm, understood."
