Chapter 594: Chapter 594 Peeping Ye Chunxiao Chapter 594: Chapter 594 Peeping Ye Chunxiao After stepping off the stage and taking her seat back in the classroom, Yue Qingqing still felt a bit distracted.

It seemed like she had just glimpsed Jiang Jingze.

But at the moment she needed to exit the stage, there was no time for Yue Qingqing to take another look.

Once offstage and scanning the area again, she couldn’t find that figure anymore.

Yue Qingqing almost thought it had been her imagination.

That is until she got back to the dormitory, where the dorm manager greeted her with a knowing smile.

“Yue student, someone is waiting for you.”

Yue Qingqing was startled for a moment and then, turning around abruptly, she saw Jiang Jingze sitting on a couch on the first floor.

Having not seen him for a while, Jiang Jingze seemed even more handsome than before.

The passing students couldn’t help but let their gaze linger on him.

Some of the bolder girls nudged each other, as if they were considering striking up a conversation.

An impassive glance from Jiang Jingze immediately deflated their courage,
yet they couldn’t help but stand at the top of the stairs and sneak peeks.

“Is he from our school?”

“Definitely not. If he were a student at No. 1 Middle School, would we not know?”

“He must be older than us, right? Wonder who he’s waiting for.”

The girls chattered away, and as Yue Qingqing listened, her feelings grew inexplicably complex.

“Jiang…” Yue Qingqing started to call out but then pressed her lips together.

Jiang Jingze stood up, his long legs that seemed out of place on the couch moving towards Yue Qingqing.

“Shall we go for a meal?” Jiang Jingze looked at Yue Qingqing. There wasn’t the slightest hint of awkwardness from the long separation; he was about to ruffle her hair as naturally as if they had never been apart.

Yue Qingqing dodged Jiang Jingze’s hand, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

“These past days, why didn’t you…” Why didn’t you call me.

Yue Qingqing cut herself off mid-sentence, feeling that her emotions were utterly nonsensical.

Jiang Jingze hadn’t called her, but neither had she called him.

Moreover, she was now at school; it probably had been even harder for Jiang Jingze to contact her.

Yue Qingqing felt she was being unreasonable, yet didn’t know how to dispel these feelings, so she just kept her head down, silent.

Jiang Jingze suddenly laughed, “I’m sorry.”

He bent down and whispered something in Yue Qingqing’s ear.

“Why apologize?”

“Because you are upset.”

The response from Jiang Jingze left Yue Qingqing even more at a loss for words.

Initially, when she became aware of his feelings, she did have thoughts of avoiding them.

But as she really couldn’t receive a call or get in touch with him, Yue Qingqing felt an even greater sense of emptiness.

It was like her heart was floating in the air, with nowhere to land.

“My family has a restaurant in Lingguang too. Shall I take you there?”

“Sure!”

Yue Qingqing immediately responded, and the small awkwardness between them dissolved into thin air.

It was as if understanding each other’s thoughts without saying a word was their way of connecting.

Jiang Jingze offered no explanation, and Yue Qingqing didn’t ask any further.

But both knew that something between them had changed.

“Is that Yue Qingqing’s brother?”

“Doesn’t seem like it, could he be her boyfriend?”

“Wow, a match made in heaven; this scene is too perfect.”

The girls watched their retreating figures, feeling as though they were living in a drama.

Clutching a water basin, Ye Chunxiao hid in the corner, watching Yue Qingqing leave.

She had noticed that man when she came downstairs earlier.

He was incredibly handsome, and Ye Chunxiao inadvertently made eye contact, freezing on the spot for a moment.

But the man’s gaze just coldly shifted away from her face.

Ye Chunxiao felt her heart pound uncontrollably, and then she saw the watch on the man’s wrist.

Immediately she clutched at her chest.

She loved perusing magazines, especially the sections that featured luxury goods.

The watch on the man’s wrist was worth as much as an imported car, according to the magazines.

Handsome and wealthy, Ye Chunxiao stood in her hiding spot and watched for a long time.

Just as she summoned the courage to approach him, Yue Qingqing appeared…
