‘Not yet.’
After eating and drinking their fill, under Yan Qing’s suggestion, a small portion decided to go to a nearby KTV, while most chose to leave.
But before they went, their gazes couldn’t help lingering on the strikingly handsome man and woman, especially the girl.
Even two hours had passed, yet they still found it hard to believe that this clear, beautiful, and gentle girl was actually the gloomy, invisible classmate from before.
Even the male classmates who had always disliked Lin Xinyuan looked at each other, their expressions indescribable.
For some reason, the mocking words could no longer be said…
“Yi Yi, want to come to KTV?”
Yan Qing walked over to Liu Yi’s side, speaking in a gentle tone.
As he spoke, he straightened his back and, as if casually, played with the BMW key fob in his hand.
“You guys go ahead. My mom told me to come home, so I’m heading back.”
She said that, but in truth her mother never bothered about her. Liu Yi just glanced at him, clearly brushing him off.
She had never held a good impression of Yan Qing from start to finish.
In fact, she found him extremely disgusting.
His filthy gaze thought itself well-hidden, but she could see through it clearly—she just didn’t call him out on it.
Hearing this, a flicker of anger passed through Yan Qing’s eyes. He thought about how he’d pursued Liu Yi for so many years without any result.
It was nothing like his current or previous girlfriends—a crook of his finger and they came to him on their own.
But even so, he tried not to show it, forcing a magnanimous demeanor and letting out a hearty laugh: “Hahaha, I see…”
“Alright then, let’s hang out sometime!”
Hearing this, Liu Yi only nodded noncommittally without giving any response.
Then she walked off on her own in one direction, unhurriedly, her posture graceful and composed.
Watching that attractive figure, Yan Qing ground his teeth in frustration.
He’d gotten with so many girls, yet he never expected to stumble over Liu Yi!
’Bitch… one day, when I’ve got you in my hands… then let’s see you stay so high and mighty…’
Turning away, his mood improved slightly. Just then, several of his close friends called out from not far away.
“Old Yan, are we going or not!”
“Yeah, hurry up!”
“Huh, the deputy monitor isn’t coming?” A guy walked over, grinning as he slapped Yan Qing’s shoulder and teased him.
Hearing this, Yan Qing’s eyes flashed with malice, but he barely held it in.
However, before he could say anything, another guy jumped in to defend him:
“Hey, hey, hey, our President Yan? With all the girls after him back then, did he really need the deputy monitor?”
As he spoke, he raised his chin toward Yan Qing with an animated expression.
Yan Qing felt much better after that. He was too proud to nod, but a slight smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his feelings.
The guy who had joked initially felt awkward and quickly defended himself: “Ah, my bad! Look at this rotten mouth of mine!”
After that was brushed aside, someone couldn’t help but look toward the girl in the distance, marveling:
“But seriously, who would’ve thought that Lin Xinyuan, after three years, became a woman? The world is just insane!”
“What woman? I say it’s a tranny… a tranny who even got a boyfriend, hahaha.”
The short, smug guy thought his words would win approval, sparking a conversation and drawing everyone’s attention.
But things didn’t go as planned. Several girls and guys nearby couldn’t hold back.
“Tang Jiaren, can’t you watch your mouth?”
“Yeah, exactly—your tongue is really sharp!”
“Tch, as expected of you…”
“Forget it, forget it. I think I’ll just head back and play games instead.”
“Ah, take me along! Want to hit the internet cafe together?”
“Sure, sure!”
“Niice, count me in too…”
“Gross… pathetic male.”
One after another, disgusted words were thrown at the self-righteous guy, catching him completely off guard. He had no right to speak, and no wonder so many people found him unbearable.
Just then, Yan Qing and the others were left with this guy. More than ten people in the KTV group instantly dwindled by half.
One of the guys next to Yan Qing couldn’t help complaining, and the rest shook their heads, wanting to stay far away from this loose-tongued idiot.
“You—well, I’m out!”
“Yeah, same!”
Watching Yan Qing and the others abandon him, the guy was still confused. He really didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
Wasn’t this how he used to draw attention? But this time it didn’t work, only earning him a wave of disdain.
Rage welled up inside him. He glanced toward the girl’s direction, but just as he started scheming, he saw the tall figure beside her.
He immediately flinched and scurried away.
Yan Qing turned back, looking at the guy’s retreating back like he was a fool. He really thought that guy was mentally ill.
Such words—say them in private, fine. But in front of everyone, did he really think he was being funny?
He sneered inwardly, then his gaze involuntarily drifted back to that lithe figure, his heart aching with desire.
Though he didn’t know what had happened to Lin Xinyuan over the past three years, he really wanted to try that androgynous creature to see what flavor she was…
What a shame…
Looking at Qin Nanfeng by the girl’s side, he felt a pang of regret, lust simmering in his eyes.
He thought that when he had time, he should take a trip to Thailand.
He’d heard there were many… there he could taste that experience…
But just as he was lost in thought, the young man in the distance seemed to sense his gaze.
He turned his head and looked straight at him.
The other party only smiled slightly. Yan Qing couldn’t see it clearly, but alarm bells rang in his heart.
He quickly averted his eyes.
’This guy… is dangerous… I need to stay far away…’
As a proud man, he trusted his instincts. Despite the intense jealousy and resentment, he suppressed it.
That guy was just a nouveau riche who’d made some money.
Sure, he seemed flashy now, but in a few years, he’d end up getting caught by the cops in some club.
On the other side, Qin Nanfeng witnessed Yan Qing and the others leaving and didn’t care much.
His attention returned to the girl beside him, where Lin Xinyuan was finishing her small talk with Teacher Ming.
“Well, Teacher Ming, goodbye then.”
Lin Xinyuan clasped her hands behind her back, swaying slightly in discomfort.
She shyly said to the middle-aged woman: “I’ll definitely come back to visit you when I have time…”
In truth, since they met, Teacher Ming hadn’t said much to her, mostly asking about her health and family situation, without dwelling too much on her experiences.
“Mm. You two need to be happy together. When you get married, make sure to tell your teacher.”
Teacher Ming nodded warmly, patting the girl’s small head. Lin Xinyuan didn’t resist, her cheeks slightly flushed, acting perfectly obedient.
Seeing this, the woman felt even more affectionate.
She had never married, devoting all her energy to teaching. From the first day of school, she had noticed Lin Xinyuan.
Back then, the boy was gloomy and extremely introverted, so she naturally looked after him a bit more.
After learning about his family situation—father didn’t care, mother didn’t love him, not at all qualified parents—she began treating the boy like her own child.
Teacher Ming looked at the young man beside her, her eyes carrying concern for the girl who had recovered her identity.
“You need to take good care of her.”
Qin Nanfeng smiled at the corners of his mouth, quite respectful: “Don’t worry, we’re already planning our engagement. We’ll definitely invite you to the wedding banquet.”
Hearing their conversation, the girl blushed and couldn’t help but scratch at the young man’s big hand that was holding hers.
Qin Nanfeng raised an eyebrow and just let her fool around.
The middle-aged woman laughed: “Alright, your teacher will be waiting for that day.”
