Where Are You Going? (2)

Under the sunlight, his eyes seemed to have only Fang Li in them and his snow-white teeth peeked out in a melancholy and gentle smile.

Ruan Qingmu quietly walked behind them with a guilty conscience and suddenly hit Fang Li. “Fang Li, you’re dead.”

Fang Li’s head flinched being hit by him and he turned back aggrievedly. “Ruan-ge, why did you just hit me?”

Ruan Qingmu glared daggers at him. “You dare to sell me out?”

He had undoubtedly told Fu Songhua about his swollen mouth. Damn it. Otherwise, why would the big idiot be laughing like that?

Fu Songhua leaped up furiously. “Ruan Qingmu, do you lack beating? You dare to bully Fang Li?”

Fang Li was even more aggrieved. “I didn’t… I’m telling him about the matter with Xiao-Ai ge.”

Fang Li was not good at lying, so Ruan Qingmu embarrassedly patted his head and hurried to change the subject. “Who is Xiao-Ai ge?”

Fang Li reminded him, “The little brother from the next-door shop when we did the live broadcast.”

Ruan Qingmu was slightly surprised. “Huh? Are you still in contact with him?”

Fang Li nodded shyly. “Mm. He’s very nice and interesting.”

Ruan Qingmu recalled for a moment and suddenly realized, rushing to explain to Qin Yuan. “He was the one pretending to be me to trick you, asking for your selfie.”

Qin Yuan smiled. Mm. He remembered that person.

Fang Li added, “He goes to Rui-jie’s shop to work now. When the broadcast fans asked him why he changed jobs, he directly said the things sold in Hu-jie’s shop were plagiarized goods and he felt guilty, so he went to the original creator’s place to atone for his sins.”

Ruan Qingmu laughed. “He’s that strong?”

Fang Li nodded with a smile. “Yes, ah. Rui-jie’s business is doing great now. Then, a bunch of people ran to Hu-jie’s live streaming and filled the comment section with the words of this shop’s foul play. Xiao-Ai said Hu-jie blocked him when he got off work and threatened him, but he recorded the audio and put it directly on the internet. That shop was scolded to death. Hahaha.”

Ruan Qingmu was also happy. “Aiya, I like this new development.”

Although it was only three days, it earned him a new cell phone and money for the picture frame. At first, many fans at Rui-jie’s home studio kept asking where the two had gone and Rui-jie had also come to ask if they could spend a day on weekends regularly, but they both refused.

They were too busy with their studies and spent almost all their weekends working through the pile of homework, so they didn’t have time to make money on the side.

It was terrific now that Xiao-Ai had gone over to fill the gap.

Next to them, Huang Ya also stepped off the roller coaster and ran over. “Ruan-ge. Ruan-ge, want to go eat something?”

It was already noon and everyone naturally started to get a bit hungry. Looking at the class group, some small groups had arrived at the restaurant with their food and a flurry of thank yous rang inside the group chat. “Thank you to the nouveau riche. Thank you to Boss Qin!”

The movie park had a fast food chain that was a bit more expensive than the ones sold outside and a full meal for teenagers their age would cost several dozen yuan.

The pass that Qin Yuan helped everyone get was only 160 yuan for the whole thing, including lunch. When they arrived at the restaurant, the menu showed that the single set meal alone was worth 58 yuan and when added to the original 280 yuan ticket price, it was less than half the full price.

When Ruan Qingmu walked in, many people from both classes were already enjoying their meals. As soon as they entered, the students from Class 9 raised their voices and shouted, “Ruan-ge, sit here. There’s a seat here. Boss Qin can also come here!”

The students from Class 1 retreated to the side and didn’t even greet them.

What was the point of greeting them? Whenever it came to this, the two bosses in their class would go to Class 9. They were like two ignorant rulers who had left their country behind.

For those who knew, it was just that they played well with the boys in Class 9, but those who didn’t would think these boys were pursuing some stunning school flowers there.

One boy sipped a cold Coke sadly and sighed, “The class monitor isn’t the same anymore.”

His roommate beside him nodded similarly. “Old Fu is also not the same anymore either.”

As they were talking, Qin Yuan stood up and walked over to them, looking at the fast food plates everyone had eaten all over the place. “Do you guys want to add anything? Desserts or cold drinks? It’s my treat.”

“Wooww! I love class monitor. Can I have another ice cream?!”

“I’m a bit full. I think I have only room for one more cone.”

The two boys speaking earlier made pained expressions and jumped up to hug Qin Yuan, shaking him. “Class monitor, we’re wrong. You’re still our good class monitor!”

Qin Yuan’s veins on his forehead throbbed. “Let go. If not, pay for yourselves.”

“Ohh.” The two boys immediately let go of their hands. “After paying, you can feel reassured to return to Class 9. We all miss you!”

A burst of laughter broke out around them. Qin Yuan glared at them helplessly and turned around indifferently as he returned to sit by Ruan Qingmu’s side.

A few girls from Class 1 looked over there and someone suddenly asked in a whisper, “Do you guys realize that our class monitor’s temperament has become better?”

“Mm, yes!” The girl next to her immediately nodded her head. “I still remember during junior year, I’d never see the class monitor smile. Amidst the school grass picture candidates, you can find a smile on other people’s faces and not our class monitor’s.”

“Although he’s cool, he always looked kind of unhappy.”

“Do you guys feel the class monitor is more good-looking when he’s cool or smiling?”

“Is there even a need to choose? Of course, he’s more good-looking when he smiles.” Someone muttered softly, “With the class monitor looking like this now, I can tell that he’s happy.”

When he looked at people gently, his eyebrows were peaceful, no longer lonely and preoccupied, and he had a vague look of happiness in his eyes.

After lunch, many energetic students ran out and continued to find their preferred activities to play. Ruan Qingmu, Qin Yuan, and their group discussed the situation. Tang Tiantian and a few female students were afraid of the sun, so they stayed in the restaurant and continued to chat, while the rest looked at the map and decided to go to the scenic side.

At the park’s eastern end was an artificial lake for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. It was small but well-landscaped, surrounded by giant trees and shady lawns.

The water in the lake was crystal clear as it was recently opened, with shimmering blue waters and red and white Koi swimming lazily underneath, which can be seen underwater.
