When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?

"Next stop, Yasong Residence. Passengers getting off, please take your belongings and move towards the back door in preparation to disembark. Next stop..."

Her train of thought was interrupted by the announcement in the bus. Jiang Shuyao looked up and realized that the journey from school to home wasn't as long as she had imagined.

A few minutes later, the bus gradually came to a stop.

The sky was pitch-dark, and there was a light rain drizzling down.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Shuyao gently opened her black umbrella and gave the handle a slight twist, bringing the familiar logo once again into her view.

Under the umbrella, the girl stared at the tiny emblem for a while, her brows furrowing in thought before she shook her head involuntarily.

Maybe it was just a coincidence.

The little rascal's family had businesses all over the country with countless customers. It was perfectly normal to give away a few umbrellas.

Jiang Shuyao stopped pondering over it, and seeing that it was already late, she quickly started walking towards the gate of Yasong Residence.

...

Kongsu Internet Cafe.

A few youths who were regulars here led the way, with Chen Jin just pushing the door open when the owner, seeing them soaked to the skin, hurriedly asked the new attendant to fetch three dry towels for them.

It was raining outside, and with many people inside and the need for the computers to cool down, the air conditioning was still on.

Hit by the cold blast, Chen Jin sneezed forcefully.

"Boss, hurry up and free up a room for us. We'll change our clothes first."

The owner clapped his head in realization and said, "Alright, go to the VIP room you usually reserve. The computers are on, so you can play directly after changing."

"That works. Let's go. Kanzi must be going crazy with parachute jumping by now."

Chen Jin turned halfway and saw the new attendant still standing dumbfounded in the aisle, and teased her, "Hey, beauty, make way for us."

The girl snapped back to reality and quickly moved aside with a red face, retreating to the cashier's counter.

It was only after the group entered the VIP room that she slowly lifted her head, recalling the aloof young man and his ruggedly handsome face, feeling her cheeks warm up uncontrollably once again.

The owner just laughed at the sight, probably used to it, as those who entered were all bona fide rich second generations.

Especially Mr. Pei of Zhizhen Real Estate, there is no need to explain what kind of presence Zhizhen has in Rong City, just with his looks and charisma, the moment he stands anywhere, how could any girl not have her heart flutter?

Meanwhile, inside the VIP room, the competitive atmosphere was intensifying.

The motorcycle's storage compartment was waterproof, and the clothes brought were still fairly dry.

Pei Yan changed out of his soaked shirt, wearing only a T-shirt now, with his black jacket draped over the back of the chair as he killed off several rounds with headphones on without making a sound.

Xu Kanfeng crashed nine times out of ten, and grumblingly glanced at the calm boss beside him, asking with a grin, "Brother Yan, do you have cigarettes on you?"

No sooner had the words left his lips than his butt was shot by a teammate.

"Chen Jin, go eat shit, shooting your own man!"

Being cursed at, Chen Jin still felt secretly pleased and retorted, "Don't you know Brother Yan is recently quitting smoking? If you want to smoke, go buy some outside."

It sounded somewhat incredible; knowing their boss's heavy nicotine addiction, he had suddenly started quitting a while ago.

Out of curiosity, they asked why he quit smoking, and Brother Yan merely replied breezily, "Just didn't feel like smoking anymore."

Initially, Chen Jin and the others took it as a joke, but in the following days, Brother Yan indeed didn't smoke again.

It had to be said, the boss's self-control was seriously godlike.

He Qingzhou, who had been quiet up to this point, glanced at the two, "This semester come to the internet cafe less and play basketball more, smoking isn't good, if you can quit, then quit it."

"Eh, that's a good idea. Let's make a bet, whoever can get a six-pack first by next year, the rest will quit smoking for half a year, how about it?"

"That won't work, Brother Yan has had abs for a while now, it's pointless for the three of us to bet. I think it's better for Brother Yan to—"

Xu Kanfeng stopped mid-sentence, looked around, and realized that someone was missing from the nearby seats.

He Qingzhou lifted his chin, "Went to the bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Xu Kanfeng removed his headphones and ran over.

"I really can't believe Brother Yan doesn't have even one cigarette in his pocket." While speaking, he reached out to feel the inner lining of Pei Yan's jacket hung over the back of the chair and soon touched something hard.

Xu Kanfeng pulled it out to find a cell phone.

He intended to put it back, but accidentally pressed the screen and lit it up.

On the lock screen was a breathtakingly beautiful girl's profile.

The three of them, as if discovering a new world, crowded their heads together, "Hey, who's the little sister Brother Yan's hiding away here?"

And it looked somewhat familiar, like they had seen her somewhere before.

The next moment, the door to the VIP room was pushed open, and Xu Kanfeng's hand slipped, dropping the phone onto the floor with a smack.

The air hung still for two seconds.

Under several pairs of glaring eyes, Pei Yan walked slowly over with long strides, bent down to pick up the phone, and at the same time, kicked Xu Kanfeng's butt.

"Don't mess with my stuff."
