Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!-Chapter 1226: New Semester 17

Throughout the night, Rourou was slumped on the floor.

It wasn’t until there was a knock on the door that Rourou was startled awake.

A maid’s gentle voice came from outside the door, "Miss Rourou, it’s almost six o’clock. If you don’t get up now, you’ll be late."

"Oh... right away... I’ll get up right away!" Rourou hurriedly climbed from the floor to the bed, dove under the covers, stretched lazily, pretending she had just woken up.

The maid spoke again, "Miss Rourou, may I come in to bring you your school uniform?"

"Yes, you can."

Rourou pretended to yawn and got up from the bed.

The maid respectfully walked in and placed the uniform she held at the foot of Rourou’s bed.

She looked up and noticed the dark circles under Rourou’s eyes, "Miss Rourou, didn’t you sleep well last night?"

At the mention of "last night," Rourou instantly reacted as if her tail had been stepped on, almost exploding. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she said, "I didn’t sleep well."

"Do you need me to boil two eggs for your eyes?" the maid asked with concern.

"No, no need. I’ll just use some concealer," Rourou replied.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, Miss Rourou, I will leave now."

"You may go."

Rourou waved her hand, then slowly walked into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

She stared at her hasty and disheveled reflection in the mirror, and a wave of hatred for Li Mumu surged through her.

If it weren’t for her, how could Bei Mo be investigating her, and how could he have discovered that she wasn’t the real Rourou, and how could she now be under such threat!

The more she thought about it, the more vigorously Rourou brushed her teeth, with eyes filled with malice.

After brushing, she turned around only to see Bei Mo standing across from the bathroom, his cold eyes staring at her as if to see right through her.

Rourou’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of those eyes.

"Y-Young Master Bei Mo..."

"Five minutes, and then get downstairs to go to school." Bei Mo retracted his gaze, his voice icy as he gave the order and then walked down first.

"Y-yes!"

Rourou quickly nodded in response, no longer daring to delay. She quickly washed her face and grabbed her backpack, rushing downstairs.

The old master was downstairs reading a newspaper and having breakfast. Seeing her rushing down, he put down his paper and kindly said, "Rourou, come quickly, have breakfast."

As he spoke, the old master beckoned Rourou over.

In the past, even if she risked being late for school, she would sit down obediently to win the old master’s favor and have breakfast with him. But now, with Bei Mo glaring at her from the car, Rourou had no mind for breakfast.

"Thank you, Grandpa, but I’m about to be late for school, so I can’t join you for breakfast," Rourou said apologetically.

A hint of disappointment flickered in the old master’s eyes, but he wasn’t unreasonable. He waved her off, "It’s alright, you go to school first, but remember to get up earlier next time to have breakfast with Grandpa." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Okay, Grandpa," Rourou replied guiltily under Bei Mo’s watchful gaze.

...

At the private middle school.

Rourou and Bei Mo arrived at school together in the same car.

Today, Bei Mo didn’t ride his bicycle but instead sat in the car watching Rourou, to prevent her from running away and causing more trouble midway.

Coincidentally, they arrived at the school gate just as the Royal Family’s car reached the entrance.
