Chapter 2055: Chapter 2055: Reluctant to Leave (22)

Snap!

The lights came back on again.

”We apologize for the temporary power outage due to circuit issues...” The voice from the broadcast came with an apologetic explanation.

In a corner of the room, various items were scattered, and the people who were supposed to be standing there had already moved to the cabinet nearby.

The two figures were almost perfectly aligned together, their shadows casting on the ground, indistinguishable from one another.

The broadcast sound flowed past Chi Gui’s ear, gradually returning to tranquility.

”Ahem... You two, we can see you here...” Suddenly, the broadcast sounded a somewhat embarrassed reminder.

Chuzheng remained calm as she released Chi Gui, who sheepishly lowered his head, blushing intensely.

Chuzheng tugged at him, and he dodged like he was shocked by electricity, lowering his head as he walked out.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng glanced toward the direction of the surveillance, and moved her gaze calmly away after a moment.

The staff behind the surveillance felt a chill down their spine.

The staff felt wronged, he really didn’t want to watch, but he couldn’t not watch!

If he didn’t remind them, who knows what these young couples might do!

Remember once because he wasn’t careful, they almost saw a live version of content socialism doesn’t allow to be depicted.

But the scene just now...

Was that girl being forceful?

Are girls this fierce nowadays?

Chi Gui quickly walked outside, and on his way out, he met a staff member coming to give them a prize for breaking the record time.

The staff member giving the gift glanced at Chi Gui from time to time during the registration, his gaze carrying a bit of a concealed smile.

Chi Gui: ”...”

Chi Gui felt like his lifetime of fame was ruined!

”Brother Chi, Brother Chi! You guys came out?” You Zixi exclaimed as he rushed out: ”You came out so fast? We didn’t pass because of the incident earlier, got pushed out by the staff, did you pass?”

As soon as You Zixi came, the others followed out.

Chi Gui immediately felt much more relaxed: ”We passed.”

”Wow! As expected of my Brother Chi, impressive!”

”Next time, we need to be with Brother Chi, if we’re with You Zixi, we’ll all get stuck inside!”

”Hey, what’s with your attitude?!” You Zixi barked, feeling offended.

Chi Gui interrupted them: ”Mainly thanks to Student Hang.”

The group was initially singing Chi Gui’s praises, but paused slightly, as if the air quieted down.

Chuzheng openly accepted everyone’s gaze.

”Huahai really is different, huh.” Someone emerged with a sarcastic tone.

You Zixi immediately shouted: ”Hey, what are we eating later?”

The topic was instantly diverted by You Zixi.

Chi Gui took the gift from the staff: ”Let’s go out first.”

Chuzheng wasn’t familiar with those people; she waited for them to leave before moving, Chi Gui originally leading ahead, bit his lip at the end and slowed down to walk with Chuzheng.

”Earlier...”

”Hmm?”

Chi Gui only said two words and couldn’t continue, he glanced at the gift in his hand and immediately said: ”...This is for you.”

”I don’t want it.”

Chi Gui: ”You won it anyway, it could be a memorable keepsake.”

”You keep it.”

Chi Gui opened the bag, finding two keychains with cute dolls inside.

Chi Gui, possibly having a mental lapse, handed her one directly: ”Let’s each have one.”

After saying that, he realized they might be a couple’s keychains...

What did he just say?

Each have one?

Was he being held hostage?

Why would he say something like that!

Words spoken are like water spilled, impossible to take back now.

At this point, Chi Gui rather hoped Chuzheng would say ’no,’ but to his disappointment, Chuzheng took it directly and right in front of him, swapped it onto her keys.

Chi Gui: ”...”

Chi Gui covered his face, feeling stiff and about to move with awkward limbs, deciding to stash it in his box as soon as he got back.

You Zixi decided where to eat; it was a nice place, seemingly regulars, the owner greeted them familiarly.

”Brother Chi...”

You Zixi broke free from the crowd, pulling Chi Gui aside.

”I wanted to ask earlier... what’s up with you?” You Zixi gestured at his lips.

Chi Gui: ”?”

You Zixi took out his phone to use as a mirror for Chi Gui.

That’s when Chi Gui noticed his lip color was too bright, looking like it was smeared with rouge.

He’d kept his head down earlier, others hadn’t gotten close, naturally didn’t notice.

But You Zixi kept an eye on Chi Gui, easily spotting it.

”Brother Chi, don’t tell me this was mosquito bites.” You Zixi nudged him with his elbow: ”What did you and Student Hang do inside?”

Chi Gui pushed the phone away, pursing his lips: ”With how nosy you are, you must have been born into the wrong family.”

”Brother Chi, tell me, was it you or the girl who made the first move? How did it feel? Was it like heartbeats racing...”

Chuzheng watched Chi Gui and You Zixi from the corner of her eye, the two standing for a while, unsure what they were discussing.

”Student Hang, do students at Dongyang have a lot of academic pressure?” suddenly asked a girl sitting next to Chuzheng.

Though the girl smiled, her tone clearly held some intent.

Chuzheng spoke coldly: ”You’re not from Dongyang?”

”I’m not.” The girl laughed, brushing her hair: ”We’re all from Huahai.”

”Huahai has merged with Dongyang; there won’t be Huahai anymore going forward.”

The group: ”...”

Why does that sound so uncomfortable?

”Lili, what are you doing?” said a boy next to her, tugging at her, ”We’re classmates now, let’s get along.”

Lili voiced her dissatisfaction: ”What do you mean what am I doing? Didn’t you hear what she said earlier?”

The boy: ”...”

She wasn’t wrong!

Currently, there’s indeed no more Huahai Middle School and won’t be any in the future!

Huahai Middle School had struggled with recruitment; this merger means these people should be the last students of Huahai Middle School.

Several girls at the table were not too friendly to Chuzheng, and as Lili felt wronged, the other girls immediately lent their support.

”What are you up to?” You Zixi returned just in time, pulling out the chair next to Chuzheng: ”Brother Chi, sit here!”

Chi Gui’s eyes swept over the group, finally speaking to the boy next to Lili: ”Keep your girlfriend in check.”

The boy quickly clasped his hands in apology.

”Brother Chi...” Lili looked at Chi Gui in grievance.

”Let’s order,” Chi Gui placed the menu in front of Chuzheng.

Everyone exchanged glances.

When You Zixi said Chuzheng was a friend of theirs, they had an inkling.

Now with Chi Gui’s gesture...

It certainly seemed protective.

The boy hurriedly pulled Lili, telling her to stop.

Lili, upset, got up and left, the boy sighed, apologizing to Chi Gui, and followed her out.
