Chapter 3: New Transfer Student
"Mom, I'm home." Yan Longwei screamed, and a woman came out of the kitchen,
"Why did you come home so late?!" Yan Longwei's mother, Pan Jiaying, frowned, seeing her son return. He came home an hour later than when he was supposed to.
"Don't ask me about that. I just ran into some problems." Yan Longwei sighed. He couldn't say it. She saved a super beauty from a bunch of guys. He then led her to her hotel?
Would she believe that?
Just thinking about it in his mind was enough to make him confused.
"So when is dad going to be back?"
"Ahh, your dad isn't going to return today. There's a lot of work today." Pan Jiaying said.
"I see." Yan Longwei nodded as he sat at the table. As the two ate,
"Xiao Wei, one of your mother's friends, will live next to us."
"Oh, so that house is finally sold." The house next door had been vacant for a couple of months now.
"Mmhmm. And it was sold to your mama's best friend. She has a daughter the same age as you. Be nice to her."
"Gotcha." Yan Longwei didn't think much about it as he continued eating.
...
The next day,
"So, where is my homework?" Yan Longwei looked down at Zeng Qingzhao. She was sitting at her desk and was trying her best not to look at Yan Longwei.
"Umm, I'm not finished with copying it."
Yan Longwei smiled, "Too bad. A deal is a deal. Hand over my homework now."
"I'm paying you three parfaits!" Zeng Qingzhao was about to cry. How could she give the homework up! Her wallet was about to be destroyed for nothing!
"That's three parfaits for the day." Yan Longwei added. When she made the deal, he did say it was for the day.
Not his fault.
"One more." Zeng Qingzhao gritted her teeth.
"3"
"You're so shameless!!!" Zeng Qingzhao was going to slap him across the face! But Qi Li was holding her back.
But Yan Longwei shrugged his shoulders, "Alright then. Then I'll take back my homework." That was the only thing he needed to say.
"...Fine! Three more parfaits!" Zeng Qingzhao could only agree. The homework was too precious to her not to have it!
"Pleasure doing business with you." Yan Longwei happily smiled as he had five parfaits.
She turned to Qi Li, "Honey! I want a hug! This shady businessman drove a hard bargain!" She lost a lot.
"Aww, there, there." Qi Li could only sigh, patting her head, "At least you have an easy A now."
"But the shady businessman took all of my money."
The shady businessman shook his head, "That ain't my fault. You just needed to copy my notes. That was the only thing you needed to do."
"I was learning something new." Zeng Qingzhao said with a puff.
"What were you learning?"
"I've been learning how to read tarot cards."
"Should have made it five." Yan Longwei grabbed his head. Did she waste her time on something like this?
"Trust me! I'm a tarot-reading genius!" Zeng Qingzhao said with a prideful look.
"Yeah, no." How can you be a master in just one day?
"I'll prove it to you!" Out of nowhere, Zeng Qingzhao took out some tarot cards. Slamming it onto the desk,
"Pick out your cards, and I shall read you your fate."
"I'm good."
"What? Are you scared to be proven wrong?!"
"Fine, I'll play your little game. So what do you want me to do?" Yan Longwei sat in the seat in front of hers.
"Pick out five cards. From that, I can tell your past, present, and future." Yan Longwei picked out the five cards at random. One by one, Zeng Qingzhao placed the cards in order,
"Looking at the first card, it seemed you had a tough childhood."
"..." Yan Longwei didn't say anything. Qi Li's forehead knitted. Not noticing their expression, Zeng Qingzhao continued to list what the cards said. And it didn't take long before,
"For your future, there will be lots of love."
"Huh?"
"From you're the last card, it seemed this love happened or will happen soon."
"Now I'm calling your bs." Yan Longwei said with a huff!
"The tarot card doesn't lie." Zeng Qingzhao said with a confident smile.
"Yeah, I don't trust it at all." Yan Longwei rolled his eyes as he sat back in his seat.
"Trust it!"
"Yeah, Yeah." Yan Longwei rolled his eyes.
Zeng Qingzhao was going to say something, but the teacher came into the classroom,
"Students, to your seats." Everyone got to their seats.
"Today, we will have a new student joining our class."
"Hmm? Is it a girl?!"
"Maybe it's a guy! The girl-to-guy ratio in this classroom is out of balance!"
"Just let the person be a beauty!"
Hearing the teacher's words, everyone was going off in their delusions. Yan Longwei didn't care as he looked down at his book.
"Settle down!" The teacher shouted, shutting everyone up. He sighed and turned to the door,
"You can come in now."
And the moment this person walked into the class, everyone's breath was taken away!
She was the definition of an otherworldy beauty! No one could take their eyes off of her.
The girl wore a black sailor uniform, different from the people there.
And the next second, the entire classroom exploded into a frenzy. Well, the guys did that.
The girls stared at her curiously.
"Please introduce yourself." The teacher said, and the girl nodded,
"My name is Cheng Lihua. I came back to China to learn. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Cheng Lihua's voice became smaller and smaller as she went on.
And then another crazy yell came from the guys! The want to protect just became stronger!
The teacher shook his head. He was going to tell Cheng Lihua to sit in the front. But he noticed that she was staring at someone.
And that someone was looking back at her too.
"It's you." What Yan Longwei saw was none other than the girl he saved yesterday!
