I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 627 - 599: Trouble Brewing

She and Li Mingguang were not in the same college, so she had to call him in advance to arrange a time to meet at the library.

Since the beginning of school, He Xuerong had only seen Li Mingguang a few times, but now she really wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him since there were some things she couldn’t say to anyone else.

When she arrived at the library, she saw a tall, handsome young man standing at the entrance, his eyes smiling, the light from the roadside casting a soft yellow glow that enveloped him, giving him a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar appearance, and at the same time, a faint stirring arose within He Xuerong’s heart.

This was something she had never experienced with Li Mingguang before; He Xuerong didn’t move forward but stopped where she was.

Li Mingguang was puzzled, but he didn’t just stand there waiting foolishly; he quickly walked toward He Xuerong. They were not very far apart, and with his tall stature and long legs, he was in front of He Xuerong in the blink of an eye, gently asking, "Rongrong, what’s wrong?"

He Xuerong was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening, and she shifted uncomfortably to the side.

Li Mingguang didn’t notice but continued, "It’s cold outside; let’s go into the library."

As he spoke, he naturally reached out to grab He Xuerong’s hand. Normally, He Xuerong wouldn’t mind, but today she suddenly pulled her hands behind her back.

Li Mingguang finally realized that He Xuerong was acting unusually.

The young man’s face turned pale, and a wave of unease suddenly rose in his heart.

What’s wrong with Rongrong?

Was she trying to keep her distance and draw a clear line between them?

The current mode of their relationship had even been tacitly approved by both families, though he had never clearly expressed his feelings, but he thought Rongrong should understand.

Just then, several classmates walked by; one of the girls had short hair, a round face, and big fluffy eyes, looking very cute.

When she saw Li Mingguang, her eyes instantly lit up, and leaving her classmates aside, she stood next to Li Mingguang and coquettishly said, "Li Mingguang, you’re going to the library too? I found some material today; we could study together."

Li Mingguang glanced at his classmate, shook his head, and said softly, "I have other things to do; I can’t study with you."

Fang Shanshan was displeased.

However, she didn’t say anything else but looked at Li Mingguang with a poor expression, then turned her gaze to the girl opposite her, pretending not to recognize her, she asked Li Mingguang, "Who is this? She doesn’t seem like a student from our college."

This time, He Xuerong finally snapped back to reality, not having time to think about other things, she instinctively lashed out at Fang Shanshan like a cannon.

"Fang Shanshan, what are you pretending for? We’ve met twice already, we introduced ourselves the first time, and we even talked the second time. Have you gone senile that you don’t remember me just a week later?"

Fang Shanshan probably never expected He Xuerong to be so straightforward; normally, people would just subtly express their displeasure.

And she really hadn’t encountered a girl with such a personality before.

Fang Shanshan’s face turned pale, and she involuntarily stepped back, feeling as if He Xuerong might hit her. She glanced at Li Mingguang standing nearby.

At this moment, Li Mingguang actually breathed a sigh of relief, smiling without even looking at her, his gaze fixed solely on He Xuerong.

He Xuerong was the prettiest girl in their school, the most beautiful girl on campus, where there weren’t many girls, especially ones as pretty as her, so to say she didn’t know her would indeed be feigning ignorance.

No one who could get into this university was a fool, even if naive and innocent, given the situation, it wouldn’t be possible to shamelessly stick around.

If Li Mingguang had shown any interest, it might have been different, but he didn’t even give her a glance, and staying there would only bring her humiliation.

Fang Shanshan’s face flushed red, and she turned and ran away angrily and embarrassedly.

Watching Li Mingguang laugh, He Xuerong, with anger fueling her, extended her hand and swung a punch towards his chest, just like usual, "What are you laughing at, reveling in misfortune? I never expected you, Li Mingguang, to attract so much attention from girls."
