Chapter 213 IF Route: Childhood Sweethearts
When Su Qingyao got home from school, she saw several trucks parked in front of the empty villa next door, with workers going in and out, carrying boxes of all sizes.
She stopped and tilted her head to look for a while. "A new neighbor? I wonder if they'll be easy to get along with."
As she was thinking, a head suddenly popped out from the door next door.
"Slender little sister!"
Su Qingyao was startled. When she looked closely, she met a face that was smiling exceptionally brightly.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, those eyes flickered in her memory, and finally, she recognized them.
"Brother Wenyu?"
"Yes, yes! It's me! It's me!"
Wen Yu nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, then jumped out from behind the door and ran to her in a few steps.
Su Qingyao looked at him, then at the villa behind him where furniture was being moved in, and blinked. "Is this Wenyu's house?"
"Yes, yes!" Wen Yu's eyes shone brightly, his tone revealing an undisguised smugness.
"Our family has moved here, so we'll be neighbors from now on!"
He stretched out his hand, pretending to be very natural, but he was actually extremely nervous inside.
Su Qingyao looked down at his outstretched hand, and without thinking much, she shook it openly.
Hello, new neighbor.
The little hand in my palm is soft, like a piece of cotton, warm and tender.
Wen Yu's face turned bright red, down to the roots of his ears.
Su Qingyao looked at him and realized that her older brother had started again.
You were so silly when we met last time, why are you still silly this time?
She pulled her hand back, smiled slightly, and said, "Well, Brother Wenyu, I'm going home now. I still have homework to do after dinner."
Wen Yu then snapped out of his daze, "Oh! Okay, okay!"
Seeing her turn to leave, he quickly added, "Little Yaoyao, what time do you get up to go to school every day?"
Su Qingyao turned around without thinking much of it, "7:30? What's wrong?"
Wen Yu waved his hand, "It's nothing, I was just asking! You should go eat."
Su Qingyao nodded, pushed open the door of her villa, and went inside.
The moment the door closed, Wen Yu stood there, grinning foolishly.
At 7:30, he and Yaoyao will go to school together tomorrow!
He turned around and walked back, but after taking two steps, he looked back at the closed door once more.
Yaoyao is inside, right next door. I'll see her every day from now on.
He clutched his chest, feeling his heart pounding again.
What a loser.
But I'm so happy!
The next morning, after Su Qingyao finished breakfast, she and Lin Ruolan walked out of the villa gate hand in hand when someone gently patted her shoulder.
She turned around and met a face that was smiling exceptionally brightly.
Sunlight shone from behind the man, giving him a fuzzy golden edge, and his smile made her squint.
"Brother Wenyu?"
"Good morning, my lovely little sister!"
Wen Yu stood in front of her, his school uniform neatly worn, his schoolbag slung over his shoulder, and his hair clearly styled. He looked as energetic as a model student who had just stepped out of a magazine.
Su Qingyao blinked, a little confused.
Lin Ruolan was also taken aback, but then recognized the person: "Young Master Wen?"
Wen Yu immediately turned to her, smiling sweetly and politely, "Hello, Auntie, you can just call me A Yu."
He paused, his tone carrying just the right amount of embarrassment.
"I've transferred to Jingbei No.1 High School, and today is my first day. Auntie... could you give me a ride home? My parents both have things to do today."
Lin Ruolan was somewhat flattered by his obedient appearance.
The young master of the Wen family wants me to deliver it?
She nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, of course, you're welcome, you're welcome."
As she spoke, she opened her car door and beckoned her two children to get in.
Su Qingyao sat in the back seat, with Wen Yu following closely behind.
The car slowly drove out of the villa area.
Ruan Xinhe stood on the second-floor balcony with a cup of coffee, watching her son get into the Su family's car and watch it disappear at the end of the road.
She couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
That brat, no wonder he wouldn't let them deliver it.
Throughout the journey, Wen Yu was like a curious child, constantly asking about the situation at No. 1 Middle School. Su Qingyao answered every question patiently.
After a while, the awkwardness of not seeing each other for a month was gradually washed away.
After the car stopped at the school gate, Su Qingyao said goodbye to Lin Ruolan and immediately turned to Wen Yu, saying, "Brother Wen Yu, come on, I'll take you to your classroom!"
Wen Yu followed behind her with his schoolbag on his back, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
Su Qingyao crossed the playground with practiced ease, climbed the stairs, and finally stopped at the door of Class 1, Grade 8.
"Brother Wenyu, this is your class."
She pointed to the sign on the door, looking very serious, "You can ask me anything you don't know in the future. I'm downstairs, in Class 1 of Grade 7, it's super close."
Wen Yu glanced at the doorplate, then looked down at her.
Sunlight streamed in through the corridor window, falling on her face. Her eyes shone brightly, carrying a hint of smug satisfaction, as if saying, "I've got this covered."
On a sudden impulse, he blurted out, "I don't know where the cafeteria is. Can I have lunch with Yaoyao?"
Su Qingyao tilted her head and nodded without thinking, "Sure."
The flower in Wen Yu's heart suddenly burst open.
"Then I'll come to your class at noon to find you." He tried hard to keep his voice down.
"Okay." Su Qingyao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "See you at noon~"
She waved to him, then turned and ran downstairs.
Her ponytail swayed in the sunlight and quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Wen Yu stood there, looking in the direction she disappeared, and smiled foolishly.
During the lunch break, Su Qingyao sat in her seat, head down, organizing her notes.
Suddenly, a commotion arose at the doorway, mixed with the hushed screams of several girls.
She looked up at her deskmate, puzzled. "Miao Ke, what's going on outside?"
Zhang Miaoke was excited, her eyes shining: "Don't you know?! A super handsome boy transferred to Class 1, Grade 8! I heard he's the young master of the Wen family! He's standing at our classroom door right now, and lots of people are watching him!"
Su Qingyao blinked and nodded knowingly.
It turned out to be the case.
She was about to lower her head to continue organizing her notes when suddenly—
"ah!"
She suddenly stood up, startling Zhang Miaoke.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Su Qingyao looked annoyed. "I forgot about Brother Wenyu! We were supposed to have lunch together!"
After saying that, she dashed towards the door.
Zhang Miaoke chased after her, calling out, "Yaoyao! Do you know Young Master Wen?"
Su Qingyao waved her hand without turning her head, "I'll tell you later~"
She struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, and as soon as she stood up, she looked up and met Wen Yu's face.
He stood at the front of the crowd, looking at her with bright eyes that seemed to hold stars.
Su Qingyao was a little embarrassed and scratched her cheek. "I'm sorry, Brother Wenyu, I lost track of time while taking notes... Shall we go eat now?"
Wen Yu shook his head, not minding at all. "It's okay. Your studies are the important thing. I want to learn from you."
Su Qingyao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go then~"
The two walked out side by side, their gazes following them like spotlights, and discussions rose and fell.
Su Qingyao has always been the center of attention since childhood, always looking straight ahead and walking with composure.
Wen Yu didn't care about anyone else; his eyes were always on Su Qingyao.
As she walked, Su Qingyao turned her head and glanced at Wen Yu, who was half a head taller than her, and a small question popped into her mind.
They said Wen Yu is very handsome?
But why did she feel...?
Still so naive.
