Winter Seemed to Be Leaving, but Spring's Steps Had Slowed
Once on the street, Zhu Juntang stopped her playful antics and simply followed Liu Chang'an, biting her lip, until they reached the subway station.
Zhu Juntang walked to the security checkpoint, then turned back and walked out. She had neither cash nor the subway ride code app. Moreover, seeing so many people in the subway station, and imagining being surrounded by countless people in the subway car, exchanging pleasantries with strangers, Zhu Juntang couldn't tolerate it.
Stepping out of the subway station and standing by the roadside, Zhu Juntang snapped her fingers, and the nanny van that had been following them pulled up.
"Going to school," Zhu Juntang said listlessly. She had originally thought she could have a whole winter vacation without doing anything, but now she would most likely have to attend extra classes.
Mother must have been fully aware of Liu Chang'an's identity, his historical entanglements with the Zhu Family, and his abilities; otherwise, why would she have been so obedient to Liu Chang'an?
Zhu Juntang used to hope that her mother and Liu Chang'an could be together, but now it's terrifying to think about... It's true that you can't make decisions lightly. Who knew that the interaction between Liu Chang'an and her mother would create a chemical reaction that would only intensify Zhu Juntang's torment?
She was once a carefree fairy, a happy Immortal Sheep running across the green grasslands, but now she has become a pure yet sorrowful tear.
Feeling blue and sad, like a mushroom.
While I'm still young and beautiful, I should take more selfies. Especially with my current melancholic temperament, I'm sure I have the style of Lin Daiyu. By the end of winter vacation, I might be like a lonely old nun, always by the light of a Buddhist lamp.
So Zhu Juntang took out her phone and tilted it at a sad angle towards the camera.
Liu Chang'an entered the subway station and saw that Zhu Juntang did not follow him, nor did she leave the subway station; she insisted on walking to school.
He originally intended to take care of Zhu Juntang and go to school with her, but she definitely wouldn't be able to walk there. Little did he know that she couldn't even take the subway and ran away.
Currently, only two subway lines are open in Junsha. Next year or the year after, several other lines will gradually open... Transportation will become more convenient, and properties around the subway lines are likely to see another surge in prices.
When Liu Chang'an arrived at school, Zhu Juntang entered the classroom a little later than him. After glaring at him, she went to sit with her tutor, completely losing her adorable mood of waving her hands like a penguin.
After class, Liu Chang'an went to find An Nuan.
Girlfriends are creatures who mostly have an instinct to seek a strong sense of presence in front of their boyfriends. They are easily prone to various reactions when they feel that their presence is not strong enough. At first, they might change their personal signature, post two updates on social media with a selfie, then send two random messages that seem to not require a reply, and after calling but still not getting a satisfactory response, they resort to the traditional tactics of crying, making a scene, and breaking up.
An Nuan felt that she hadn't been very noticeable these past few days. She had just changed her signature to "Winter seems to be leaving, but spring is moving slowly."
She didn't know the exact meaning of the signature, but she felt it somewhat reflected her mood.
She originally wanted to post a selfie with a caption like "Another selfie by myself today," but it was too much trouble... First, she was afraid that some men who thought they had a chance would approach her and try to chat her up, and second, she was afraid that Bai Hui would see it and analyze it into some messy things.
She could have set the message to be hidden from Bai Hui, but she felt that Bai Hui might already have a fake account successfully infiltrated An Nuan's friend list, and An Nuan would have difficulty finding the fake account corresponding to Bai Hui... Even if she was An Holmes Nuan, the other party was Bai Conan Hui. When it came to how to avoid being discovered by the other party through details, they were equally good at it.
Of course, An Nuan's thinking about this had little to do with the fact that she herself had a secondary account lurking in Bai Hui's friend list.
As for why, even with the prestigious Yellow Diamond VIP features, there's still a need for a secondary account? It's obviously to prevent the other party from setting restrictions like "don't show to so-and-so" when posting updates.
If you log in with a secondary account every now and then, you'll discover some things.
Alt accounts also have the functions of making sarcastic comments, fueling the flames, and inciting trouble. In short, it's the same principle as playing online games. It's always good to have multiple alt accounts. They're essential for forming groups, fighting, killing, and looting.
Just as An Nuan was pondering whether to log into her alternate account and send Liu Chang'an two messages, her main account received a message from Liu Chang'an asking to meet her.
He hasn't come to the Business College to look for her for several days!
For at least three days, I haven't gone to the Juyuan residential area first to find her before going to school together.
When was the last time we ate together at the cafeteria downstairs from their dorm?
Thankfully, he sends at least one message every day... If a boyfriend, especially during your school years, doesn't text you one day, you should be careful. You should at least find out why before you feel at ease.
Today, I must make Liu Chang'an understand the anger of his girlfriend being neglected!
Let him coax her for at least an hour before we talk about it.
I will no longer put food on his plate during meals.
She stopped rewarding him by putting her arm around his.
I don't need to use a coquettish voice to talk to him anymore.
There was definitely no expression on his face.
Girls should maintain a certain level of reserve and aloofness so that he will reflect on his behavior from time to time!
Liu Chang'an and An Nuan agreed to meet at the cafeteria of the Business College.
Liu Chang'an arrived first. He glanced at the train timetable on his phone, then caught a glimpse of a tall figure out of the corner of his eye and put his phone away.
Girls who are a little tall, even Bai Hui and Zhu Juntang, will think they are tall and have long legs... That's true, because not only they themselves, but others also think so.
Needless to An Nuan, tall girls, even in flat shoes, have a particularly striking presence and a radiant appearance, which can easily make some men who believe that men must be taller than women feel inferior.
It takes a lot of courage to strike up a conversation with a girl like An Nuan, but it's easy to be attracted to her from afar and glance at her a few times... If she's so dazzling that you can't look directly at her, that's nonsense.
Liu Chang'an was once again captivated by her. The young girl was pleasing to the eye simply because of her natural beauty; what would she be like if she cultivated her charm and elegance in the future?
However, we should cherish the present moment. The youthful aura she exudes now will likely be something Liu Chang'an will reminisce about in the future.
Liu Chang'an waved.
When An Nuan saw him waving, she instinctively put her hands behind her back and ran over. Her pursed lips and smile were like a flower bud glistening with morning mist, blooming the moment it was touched by the sunlight—brilliant and pure in fragrance. She ran to where Liu Chang'an could reach her, tiptoed over, and hugged Liu Chang'an neck tightly, whispering sweetly in his ear, "I missed you."
