Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 345 - 343: Do You Really Want to Have a Baby So Soon?
Lin Xi covered her face with both hands. "Si Wen, stop talking!"
"Do you really want to have a baby so soon? Well, it’s not impossible if you want one. I’ll be the godmother, after all." Should Lin Xi and Xue Yang’s baby look more like Lin Xi or Xue Yang? Probably Xue Yang. As they say, the son pays the father’s debts. Xue Yang had sent her so many mock college entrance exams. It only seemed fair that she get her revenge on his child someday. He’d already finished his own exams ages ago, so who else was she supposed to get back at?! Of course, that was just a passing thought. Lin Xi was still a child herself and wouldn’t want to become a mother so soon.
Lin Xi lowered her hands, revealing her flushed face. "I’d be willing, but Xue Yang definitely wouldn’t agree to it so soon."
Si Wen was stunned. Damn! She actually dared to think about it.
Xue Yang drove to Harlow School, gave the cartons of cigarettes he bought at the supermarket to the security guards, and chatted with them in the security room for a while. After one of the guards had finished a cigarette, Xue Yang said his goodbyes and swaggered onto campus. Although he didn’t smoke, he knew that cigarettes were an excellent way to build goodwill. Friendships between men can be as simple as sharing a single cigarette. Since he didn’t smoke himself, he opted to gift entire cartons.
Walking through the beautifully landscaped campus of Harlow School, Xue Yang inwardly exclaimed, As expected of a top-tier private school. This place is impressive. The flowers, trees, and murals on the walls all proclaimed the school’s exceptional status.
While admiring the scenery, he looked around for someone to ask for directions. Soon, a girl passed by, and Xue Yang immediately called out to her. "Excuse me, could you please tell me where the broadcasting room is?"
"Oh, just go straight down this road to the end, and you’ll see a sign for it. Just follow the directions from there," the girl said, pointing ahead.
"Thanks." With that, Xue Yang walked in the direction she had indicated.
Watching his tall figure recede, the girl scratched her head. Strange, he looks kind of familiar. Where have I seen him before? She racked her brain but couldn’t place him.
"Jiahui, you’re back from the exam already?" a voice from behind interrupted her thoughts. She turned to see Hou Mingming jogging toward her.
"I just got back, too."
Both of them had average grades, so they had a tacit understanding not to ask how the other had done. Since they weren’t getting into a top university anyway, their fate of studying abroad was already sealed.
"Jiahui, who were you just talking to?"
"I don’t know. He was asking for directions to the broadcasting room."
Hou Mingming found it odd. "He looks like a student. How could he not know where the school’s broadcasting room is?"
Peng Jiahui shook her head, indicating she didn’t know either. It never occurred to either of them that a student from outside Harlow could have gotten into the school.
The two of them walked toward their classroom, where many of their classmates were already seated. The homeroom teacher stood at the podium, awaiting the triumphant return of her students. Peng Jiahui and Hou Mingming returned to their seats and sat down.
At that moment, Lin Xi and Si Wen also returned. Seeing her two favorite students, the homeroom teacher’s smile widened.
"Lin Xi, Si Wen, you’ve worked hard. Go back to your seats and rest for a bit."
"Okay, Teacher." Lin Xi and Si Wen nodded and returned to their seats. It was too hot; just a short walk had left them glistening with sweat. Fortunately, the classroom had air conditioning, and the stuffy feeling quickly dissipated once they sat down.
...
Following Peng Jiahui’s directions, Xue Yang arrived at the broadcasting room without any trouble. As expected of Harlow International School, its broadcasting room was even better equipped than his school’s. An unknowing visitor might think they had walked into a television station.
Right then, there was only one girl in the room. She was startled when Xue Yang entered, and her face instantly turned bright red. She quickly averted her gaze, her voice hitching as she spoke. "Who... who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Hello. I’d like to borrow your broadcast equipment for a moment."
"No, school rules state that the broadcast can only be used by members of the broadcasting club."
"Please? It’ll be quick. I just want to sing a song."
The girl paused. "You... you want to sing?"
"Yeah, the college entrance exams just ended, right? I want to sing a song for the girl I like."
Oh, how romantic! This guy is so thoughtful. To think of such a way to encourage her and celebrate the end of her exams...
"Okay."
"Thank you!" Xue Yang said sincerely, then walked over to the microphone.
...
Lin Xi sat at her desk and took her phone out of her bag. She turned it on, only to see messages from her father and a few other people. As for Xue Yang, their chat history was still stuck on a conversation from two months ago. The exam had been over for a while now, yet he still hadn’t messaged her. A faint sadness crept into her heart.
Si Wen noticed her friend’s change in mood and was about to say something when a familiar voice suddenly crackled through the school’s broadcast system.
"Lin Xi of Senior Class One, are you listening?"
Hearing that voice, Lin Xi’s head snapped up. It was Xue Yang. After waiting for so long, she finally heard him, and her beautiful eyes instantly reddened. Her nose stung, and tears welled up, blurring her vision. She had thought he wasn’t going to come.
The other students erupted in a commotion.
"Wow, who’s that calling for Lin Xi over the broadcast?"
"His voice sounds amazing!"
"Quiet, let’s hear what he has to say!"
After about a minute, the broadcast came alive again. This time, it wasn’t a speaking voice but a beautiful melody.
"Who else can know as I do"
"Your gentleness is like a feather"
"Secrets lie in my embrace"
"Only you can hear them"
"Does anyone else know"
"Your smile is like an embrace"
"How I wish to cherish your goodness"
...
"Afraid you will spoil me"
"Your fragrance lingers on"
"I can’t bear to leave"
...
When the song ended, a brief silence fell over Harlow School. A minute later, the campus erupted with shrieks.
"Wow! Was that Lin Xi’s boyfriend singing? That sounded so good!"
"I admit it, I’m envious. Seriously envious."
"If I had such a romantic boyfriend, I would die of happiness."
"Is this youth? It’s a shame mine is almost over, and I still haven’t found the one I want to spend my life with."
"Give it up, man. You can’t even make eye contact with a girl without blushing for ages. You really think you can confess to one?"
"I... I..." The boy was so flustered by the comeback he was left speechless.
