Chereads / That Man Is A Girl! / Chapter 25 - 24. Fiance

Chapter 25 - 24. Fiance

Inside of Fu Wang's mind, two thoughts prevailed.

Why is that guy more cool and handsome than me? And... why does he remind me of a certain someone he hasn't seen in years?

Oh, and that guy's name was also oddly similar to her name...

Settling his backpack in his seat, pretty boy Fu Wang turned to his friends. He looked specifically at Long Rao as he was the brains in this group.

"Long Rao, who is that guy?" Fu Wang asked with great interest.

Looking back at him with a funny look, Long Tang immediately answered.

"I already told you, he's Qin Yun."

On his seat, Long Rao took off his glasses in one elegant move and began to clean them. That way revealing his fine and sharp features.

"He's an ordinary guy that comes from a middle-class family. Average background. However, Long Tang took a liking to him, so he's is dragging him into the group. He thinks this little guy is special."

Oh?

Fu Wang caressed his chin with interest.

The two of them know that even though their friend was all brawns and no brains, his instincts, and perception of people were off the charts.

If he said someone was remarkable, someone was remarkable.

"What do you think Long Rao?"

Long Rao shrugged. "Not enough data to determine it."

As expected of Long Rao...

Looking back at that tiny frame, Fu Wang's thoughts couldn't help but drift.

It was just a guy...

But, the feeling he hasn't gotten since she left, came back. When he saw that boy, it was the same as seeing her again. It was too enchanting for him.

But it all seemed too illogical...

What would the princess of the Chen Family be doing in their boarding school for men?

Unless...

Taking his belongings, Fu Wang made a decision. His blonde hair swaying by the way he moved so hurriedly.

Within him, a fire was lit.

"Oi, where are you going?" Long Tang looked confused.

Looking back at him, Fu Wang showed a bright grin. "I'm going to sit with the new student."

Not far from them, Chen Jingyun had already relaxed. She already told herself she was going to avoid at all cost the 'Red Stones' even if it costed her!

As long as she was far away from Fu Wang, her chances of remaining undercover would be alive.

However, she never expected him to drop his bags on the seat next to her and grin at her with great interest shining in his eyes.

"Hello, Qin Yun."

Holding back her scream, Chen Jingyun managed to calm down her heart and quickly pieced together her cool-man image.

"What's up?"

She nodded cooly, looking aloof yet laid back. Like a lazy model.

But inside her mind there was chaos.

What is he doing here?!

Unaware of her chaos, Fu Wang rested his chin on his hand and began to approach her at a dangerously close distance.

"Do you have any sisters?"

Chen Jingyun began to cough as she shifted away from him. "N-No..."

But he kept getting closer.

"Brothers?"

"I'm an only child." Chen Jingyun grinned as she whipped a book in between their faces. "Why do ask?"

"Oh... Well, you look a lot like a friend of mine." Fu Wang sat back.

Putting down the book, Chen JIngyun saw his forlorn look. It took everything to not laugh at him.

Friends? You wish!

Clearing her throat, Chen Jingyun ran her hands through her hair.

"Your friend must be very handsome."

"It is actually a girl."

"Then she is a very handsome girl." Chen Jingyun didn't miss a beat. Her lips had a confident smirk as she reached for her bottle of water.

For a moment, there was a pause in the conversation.

Opposite her, Fu Wang narrowed his eyes. He seemed to be hesitating. He was about to give up, and welcome this boy as a brother.

But... looking at the way that boy smiled at him, the soft shine on his hair, and the way those eyes turned crescent.

He had to try one more time.

This time, he would bring out the big guns.

"You see." Fu Wang turned confident once again.

"This girl is my fiance."

Outrageous!

Chen Jingyun choked on her drink.

"Last summer she asked for my hand." Fu Wang continued adding with a cheeky tone. "It was quite romantic, really. Roses and everything."

Chen Jingyun began to seethe... is it possible for someone to be this delirious?

"She's incredibly jealous, you know? She sees me with another girl and hell is raised. She's a fierce tiger!"

Then he sighed almost dreamily.

"It is only when I embrace and sing to her, that she calms down. I'm her lullaby."

Looking at him with disbelief, Chen Jingyun's left eyebrow couldn't help but twitch.

This guy...

I'm definitely going to shave his eyebrows... not one, but both!

"Wow, must be really nice to have a girlfriend." She pushed through her smile.

"Yup!" Fu Wang smiled proudly.

But before he could say anything else, the bell already rang and the teacher was calling for attention.

"Oh? Mr. Fu, you have finally graced us with your presence. How kind of you." The teacher rolled his tongue with sarcasm as he settled his belongings on the desk.

In turn, Fu Wang smiled naturally, his perfectly white teeth flashing.

"How could that be, Teacher? I'm the lucky one to be able to receive your teachings. Please."

Shaking his head disapprovingly, the teacher pointed at the back. "Go back to your seat. Students have to respect the seating chart at all times."

Hearing this, Chen Jingyun held back her smile, while Fu Wang could only take his belongings and leave to the back of the room.

However, as he left, his eyes lingered on her.

When lunchtime came, Chen Jingyun was out of the door before Fu Wang or Long Tang could catch her.

She couldn't let any of them drag her into their group nor let Fu Wang keep testing her patience.

If things kept going the way they were, Fu Wang would only get more hooked onto her and never let go.

God knows what that crazy guy will do.

Ah, what to do... what to do.

Chen Jingyun pouted as she walked greatly immersed in her thoughts. It was only when she bumped into someone, she came back to her senses.

Looking up, Chen Jingyun smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, bro. I wasn't looking..."

But her smile died once she found out who it was.

It was him, Zhang Wuxian.

When he saw who had bumped into him, his annoyance morphed into joy. Hooking his lips upwards, a sweet poison-filled smile was revealed.

"Oh, look what we have here." Zhang Wuxian laughed joyfully. "Isn't it the little mouse from yesterday?"
