My Pretty Campus Queen

However, Chen Tianlong's invitation made her unconsciously a little excited. After all, it was Xiaowu who actively asked her out. No matter what the issue is, at least it shows that Chen Tianlong still cares about her.

Sunday evening was exceptionally quiet. Many students wouldn't arrive until the next day, and those who came in the afternoon were out wandering, resulting in this moment of tranquility.

This made the sports ground even quieter.

"Liu Ting, I'm here." Chen Tianlong was really excited to see Liu Ting. This excitement was not like between lovers, but that between siblings.

The two had been apart for seven years. Wouldn't there be some excitement in meeting again?

Thinking back to that moment in the hotel, when he almost did something to his junior sister, Chen Tianlong felt his face heat up. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face her.

However, Liu Ting's thoughts were completely different from Chen Tianlong's. Knowing this, she wouldn't have resisted that time in the hotel and ended things with Xiaowu. Maybe she could always be by his side in the future.

After all, she knew that Chen Tianlong was a very responsible person. If he didn't do anything, it was fine. Once he did, he would courageously take responsibility. But she wasn't a bad woman, she just thought about it.

"So, Chen Tianlong, what's the matter you want to discuss?" Even though Liu Ting spoke lightly, she couldn't help but feel a bit excited inside, wondering what Chen Tianlong wanted this time.

"Liu Ting… I went to the orphanage."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Liu Ting was taken aback, then widened her eyes, lifted her head, and stared blankly at Chen Tianlong.

"Shiqi, long time no see!" Seeing her wide eyes, Chen Tianlong didn't bother hesitating and embraced her directly.

"You… you know everything?" Liu Ting was somewhat hesitant. She admitted that she was conflicted at this moment. She wanted to acknowledge, but Chen Tianlong already had a girlfriend. Recognizing but not loving was a very painful thing.

But she also wanted Chen Tianlong to know that she was still alive, wanting things to be the same as before, with Xiaowu caring for her, protecting her, and loving her.

"Yes, Shiqi, I am Xiaowu, your Xiaowu brother. I will definitely protect you well in the future and never let you get hurt again." Chen Tianlong embraced Liu Ting tightly as if he was talking to Wu Mengting.

These days, he had already felt the pain of loss, and it was too unbearable.

Liu Ting let down her guard, sensing Chen Tianlong's trembling body, and felt at ease.

Forget about it, love or not, as long as she could see him happy, it was worth it.

"Brother Xiaowu, I missed you so much!"

Liu Ting finally couldn't hold back and spoke of her long-lost longing.

"I missed you too!" At this moment, Chen Tianlong didn't want to bother with anything else; he just wanted to reunite with his junior sister and hugged her tightly.

To outsiders, even though this situation need not be too intimate, no one could understand that they had lived together for five years and then suddenly disappeared from each other's worlds.

Seven years were tormenting for both Liu Ting and Chen Tianlong, but heaven was still fair, letting them meet and embrace again.

In each other's greetings, they let go of their embrace and began talking about their experiences over the years, filling the gaps in this short half-hour, and their lives returned to normal.

"Chen Tianlong, do you love that Wu Mengting very much?" Liu Ting finally asked the question she least wanted to know, but it had to be faced calmly.

"Yes, although... it seems like she has changed her mind, I still love her."

Talking about this, Chen Tianlong felt a pang of sorrow.

"Actually, I want to say, if you love her, don't give up. Even if there are many people around her, you must win her back and continue loving her."

Liu Ting, while persuading Chen Tianlong, seemed to be also persuading herself, feeling somewhat complicated.

But is it really as she said? What if she met someone like Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, would she have a chance even if she tried hard?

"Haha, okay, I'll listen to Shiqi." Chen Tianlong suddenly brightened up as if he had figured it all out.

"Haha, that's right. Also, since we've left the Assassin Group, let's use our current identities. After all, the past is unbearable to look back at; we all have to cherish the present. Call me Liu Ting!"

"Alright, then call me Chen Tianlong. From now on, you are my sister. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll deal with them." Chen Tianlong's thoughtless sentence made Liu Ting feel a void in her heart.

"Sister..."

Liu Ting only felt her heart hanging in suspension, an indescribable discomfort.

Seeing Liu Ting's distracted expression, Chen Tianlong quickly said, "Liu Ting, what's wrong?"

"Ah? Nothing, hehe, then you're my brother now, you have to treat me well too, no less than your girlfriend, otherwise, I'll be mad at you!" Liu Ting acted coquettishly, her natural charm making Chen Tianlong quite fond of her.

Actually, Chen Tianlong was also somewhat conflicted. He had always had a different kind of emotion with his junior sister from childhood to adulthood. It seemed like sisterly affection, but every time they got close, he'd feel his heart race.

"Haha, alright, of course, that's a must." The two chatted until midnight before reluctantly returning to their dorms.

Chen Tianlong finally resolved a concern and slept soundly that night.

After Liu Ting's advice last night, Chen Tianlong planned to do something substantial. He was going to propose to Wu Mengting. Therefore, he skipped class in the morning and went straight to the city center to buy the most beautiful ring.

Wu Mengting had a sleepless night, wondering if Chen Tianlong would come to class the next day, so she could explain everything when she saw him.

But when Wu Mengting came to class early in the morning, she waited until it started, yet there was still no sign of Chen Tianlong. She felt a bit lost, thinking maybe he wasn't willing to forgive her, even skipping class.

Pursing her lips, Wu Mengting focused on her studies, because they were only in the second year of high school and needed to prioritize their studies seriously.

City center, Linda Plaza.

Chen Tianlong walked through the mall and arrived at the Jinliufu jewelry store. Upon seeing him, the beautiful shop owner hurried over.

"Handsome guy, what do you need?" The beautiful owner smiled sweetly, a girl in her twenties with makeup that made her look quite attractive.

Seeing such an enthusiastic beauty, Chen Tianlong stopped in his tracks, entered the showroom, and glanced at the rings around him.

"Boss, what kind of engagement ring is good for a proposal?" Chen Tianlong didn't know much about these, so he asked patiently.

"For a proposal, most girls now like platinum or gold rings. Of course, if your budget allows, buy a diamond ring; girls prefer them," the beautiful owner said with a smile, revealing two little dimples.

Chen Tianlong chuckled wryly, but what the owner said was realistic. Which girl wouldn't want her boyfriend to give her a diamond as big as an egg?

"Hmm, okay, then recommend a diamond ring to me." This time, Chen Tianlong decided to go all out for Wu Mengting.

"Wow, what a generous guy! Your girlfriend is really lucky!" The beautiful owner was elated, not expecting to encounter such a big customer just as her store opened. She hurried to say, "Please follow me. This way is to the diamond ring section. If it's for a proposal, I recommend this one with a crown shape. The diamond on it isn't very big, but it looks quite grand. Personally, I really like this one."
