“What’s going on? How did it end up with you two kissing?!”
Inside the office, the homeroom teacher was scolding Cheng Minghao and Lin Qingya.
Especially scolding Cheng Minghao!
The teacher’s gaze focused even more on Cheng Minghao.
Cheng Minghao glanced at Lin Qingya.
Lin Qingya’s left hand was still hidden behind his back, tightly holding his hand.
Of course, the teacher couldn’t see it.
Even if she did, she just didn’t say anything for now.
Cheng Minghao just squeezed Lin Qingya’s small hand, then tried to explain while enjoying the softness and delicacy of her fingers.
“Qingya was bullied by a male classmate during class, so I comforted her…”
“Is this how you comfort someone? Know your place!”
The teacher scolded,“Hurry up! Go home! Comfort each other wherever it’s cool at home! You’re not allowed to comfort like this at school, understand?! Not outside the school either! Don’t let the Principal catch you!”
The school leaders liked to play Cow Cat and Mouse Game, keeping a straight face while catching couples at the school gate.
No one knew what kind of mindset that was.
Cheng Minghao only nodded.
“Mm, sorry to bother you, Teacher.”
After speaking, Cheng Minghao turned and took Lin Qingya’s hand, leading her away.
“Let go!”
The teacher scolded from behind.
“Oh!”
Lin Qingya quickly let go, her pretty face turning red, but obediently followed Cheng Minghao out for after-school, going home, and eating dinner.
Cheng Minghao hesitated with his left hand.
After Lin Qingya let go, his five fingers lightly grasped the air, as if reminiscing about the softness of a girl’s hand.
They only walked down half a flight of stairs.
From behind, the teasing voices of other teachers directed at Teacher Fang could be faintly heard——
“Teacher Fang, you said Love is a Seal Breaking Catalyst.”
“Don’t bring it up, sigh!”
“……”
Hearing the voices behind him, Cheng Minghao smiled.
He raised his left hand, walking down the stairs as he held it out to Lin Qingya.
Lin Qingya looked at it, suddenly understanding his intention.
She was willing to hold his hand, but still slapped it angrily.
“Pa!”
Lin Qingya slapped it and tried to run, but her right hand didn’t escape and was caught by the boy.
Cheng Minghao laughed.
“What? Trying to run?”
Lin Qingya’s right hand struggled, pulling to the left.
She tried to break free as they descended the stairs, shouting:
“Let go of me, you Coward!”
The words ‘you Coward’ were spoken very softly.
Even though the two were delayed after school, there were still a few scattered students around.
Lin Qingya didn’t want others to really think Cheng Minghao was a Coward, so she shouted very quietly.
“Eh~ Isn’t that Cheng Minghao? That next to him… is Lin Qingya?!”
Because of Lin Qingya’s struggle and small shout, they eventually attracted the curious gaze of passing classmates.
Two pretty girls passed by, looking like close friends.
Lin Qingya didn’t recognize them.
But they recognized Cheng Minghao first, then guessed, confused, that she was Lin Qingya.
Lin Qingya heard their discussion——
“The Internet says his Boyfriend Power is maxed out, even daring to fight teachers, which is impressive. I didn’t expect to see him in person!”
“Yeah, yeah, but I wonder what happens next. I’m worried he’ll…
Hey, they’re looking over.
Lin Qingya seems petty, still glaring at us.
Let’s go quickly.”
“……”
The two girls walked side by side, then moved to the other side of the corridor.
“Hmph!”
Hearing the girls’ words, Lin Qingya snorted coldly and held Cheng Minghao’s left hand even tighter with her right.
She pressed her body closer to his, snuggling into his arms.
She squeezed half of her right side against Cheng Minghao’s left.
Lin Qingya grumbled.
“They only care about looking at you, but now they know I’m unhappy, too?”
“Oh?”
Cheng Minghao was suddenly puzzled.
He suppressed a smile and kept a calm expression.
“Then why are you unhappy? I don’t understand.”
“Of course it’s because they were looking at you… Ah?! Ah?!!!!”
Lin Qingya let out two ‘ah’s in a row.
The first was a rising ‘ah’, the second a questioning ‘ah’?
She looked at Cheng Minghao’s suddenly smiling face and understood everything.
“Fine! You dare trick me! You made me say it on purpose!”
Lin Qingya pulled her hand, trying to break away, and even tried to drag her body out of his embrace.
But she couldn’t move at all.
Even her slender waist, wrapped in a blue denim jacket, was easily gripped and hugged by the man.
His hand held her slim waist, restraining her, pressing her upper body against his chest.
Cheng Minghao smiled and asked,
“Trick you into saying what?”
“Trick me into admitting I’m… jealous~ ah ah ah!”
Lin Qingya’s face suddenly flushed red, and she went crazy.
She jumped in place, but didn’t move much.
Her hands and feet wrapped around Cheng Minghao.
Like a koala, or a jade maiden hungry for affection, seeking the man’s love.
“Hahaha!”
Cheng Minghao happily patted Lin Qingya’s butt, hugging her even tighter from the side.
Even though they were still on the stairs, Lin Qingya’s light body and his strong arms and steps weren’t affected at all.
He just paused in his stride, stabilized, and then continued walking, his hand pressed on Lin Qingya’s backside, feeling her soft hips and slender waist, carrying her down the stairs.
They were almost to the first floor, about to exit the Teaching Building.
Cheng Minghao warned,
“If you don’t come down, clinging to me all seductive like this, you’ll get punished.”
“……”
A moment of hesitation.
“Whoosh!”
Lin Qingya jumped down, letting go of Cheng Minghao, and snorted coldly.
“Hmph!”
Her pretty face was still red, and she smoothed her hair.
After tidying her bangs and hair by her ears as if nothing had happened, she took a deep breath and moved forward.
She walked toward the exit of the Teaching Building.
“You’re taking deep breaths? You look so embarrassed.”
Cheng Minghao teased her with a smile.
“Yah—! Are you looking to die?!”
Lin Qingya finally couldn’t take it, clenching her fist in shame.
She kicked Cheng Minghao’s leg.
Of course, it was a playful, light kick, and she ran off immediately after.
“Hey! Wait for me! Kicking me and running? Get back here so we can battle three hundred rounds!”
Cheng Minghao chased after her.
He deliberately followed at a slow, cat-and-mouse pace.
“Ah! No! Go away!”
Lin Qingya’s face was red as she screamed and ran even faster.
In an instant, a few distant students’ eyes turned their way.
But seeing Cheng Minghao chasing the girl, grinning, it was obvious to anyone that it was just a couple fooling around.
In a moment, others around them envied their Love.
Envying their beautiful, pure campus romance.
On the way home.
Lin Qingya ran out of breath, bending over and panting.
“Huff, huff, I can’t run anymore. I’m not running. You carry me back.”
“Carry? Sure, I’ll hug you back! I haven’t princess-carried you yet, let’s enjoy the feel. Sit tight!”
Shouting, Cheng Minghao reached out to Lin Qingya.
“Yah——!”
Lin Qingya screamed.
“Take off! Hahaha!”
Cheng Minghao laughed as he hugged his girlfriend and ran.
He even held Lin Qingya tight as he sprinted.
The two of them dashed along the nearly empty sidewalk, Lin Qingya screaming in fear and excitement.
She clung even tighter to his neck, burying her face in his chest.
“Run slower! I’m scared!”
Lin Qingya shouted, trembling.
