Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1608: Chi Chuzheng Extra (39)

"Zhengzheng, what are you doing?"

"Hurry up."

The girls in their school uniforms were waving from afar. Chi Chuzheng glanced in the other direction, where a group of boys stood together, catching the eye with their sunny, handsome demeanor.

Chi Chuzheng withdrew her gaze and quickly ran towards her companions.

"Hey Zhengzheng, who are you looking at?" The girl in the pink jacket hooked Chi Chuzheng’s arm and curiously looked towards those boys.

"No one."

"It’s Xie Nan, isn’t it? He’s a campus heartthrob. Although I heard he seems to have someone he likes. Zhengzheng, if you want to pursue him, it’s going to be tough."

The group of girls cheered simultaneously.

Chi Chuzheng laughed and scolded, "Who likes him? Don’t talk nonsense."

"Hahaha, the way you react sure suggests you like him!"

"No worries, a lot of people like him, what’s there to be afraid of."

"Yeah, didn’t the school belle confess to Xie Nan earlier?"

Chi Chuzheng glanced over again, but she wasn’t looking at the sunlit and handsome boy surrounded by people.

It was the solitary boy sitting on the steps behind that group.

Chi Chuzheng didn’t continue the conversation and tugged at her backpack, "Where are we going?"

"Tomorrow is National Day, let’s go out and have fun tonight."

-

When Chi Chuzheng was in high school, Mr. Chi and her mother hadn’t started having conflicts, and Wan Ying hadn’t appeared yet.

So at this time, Chi Chuzheng was still an enviable rich second generation.

During the seven days of National Day, she hardly stayed home, always out having fun.

That night, Chi Chuzheng was called to a quiet bar by a friend.

This kind of place had a quiet and stylish atmosphere, which Chi Chuzheng didn’t quite enjoy. At her age, she preferred places where she could dance and be lively.

However, her friend tugged at her secretively and said, "I heard Xie Nan would be here today, Zhengzheng, isn’t your sister good to you?"

Chi Chuzheng: "..."

Chi Chuzheng couldn’t refuse her friend and went inside with her.

Sure enough, Xie Nan was there. Her friend spoke with people on Xie Nan’s side, and soon, everyone came together.

Chi Chuzheng was pushed beside Xie Nan, and everyone smiled ambiguously.

Chi Chuzheng: "..."

She really doesn’t like him!!

Usually rejecting girls, Xie Nan surprisingly didn’t refuse during the group’s teasing, instead he politely asked her questions.

Feeling a bit annoyed, Chi Chuzheng found an excuse to leave.

She prepared to sneak out from the back but ended up bumping into someone in the corridor, scattering items on the floor.

"Sorry, sorry..."

The boy’s voice was nice, carrying a hint of panic due to the collision.

He had his head down, making it hard to see his face.

But Chi Chuzheng knew who he was...

"What’s going on with you?" Someone else came by, noticing the broken items, their face instantly grew stern, "You bumped into a guest and broke so many things..."

"It’s okay, I’ll cover it." Chi Chuzheng quickly pulled out her wallet, "How much?"

The person probably didn’t expect the young girl to be so agreeable, feeling awkward to ask for money, "It was our employee who bumped into you, how could we ask you to pay, it’s alright..."

Chi Chuzheng directly drew out some money and placed it on the nearby counter, "Don’t make it difficult for him."

Leaving that sentence, Chi Chuzheng quickly left.

Only after leaving, Chi Chuzheng leaned against the wall, catching her breath, her heart racing wildly under her palm.

Chi Chuzheng didn’t go back, sitting behind the venue for a long time until the event ended, and her friend called her, to which she replied she already went home.

That night, she waited for a long time until the boy came out, hurriedly leaving, without noticing her following behind.

Then...

Just as he was nearing home, the boy was cornered by some people.

Yes, she knew where his home was, because this wasn’t her first time following him.

Though keeping a distance, she couldn’t hear what those people were saying to the boy, only saw them pushing him and some even hitting him.

Chi Chuzheng turned on the siren sound from her phone to the maximum volume.

The people on that side indeed got startled and quickly left.

Chi Chuzheng hid in the shadows, without stepping out.

She watched the boy standing still, his backpack on the ground, slowly crouching down while hugging his arm.

For as long as the boy crouched there, Chi Chuzheng stayed hidden observing.

Only after the boy went back inside did Chi Chuzheng swiftly run away.

But she soon returned, placing the bought items at the boy’s doorstep, without knocking, standing for a bit before leaving.

-

"Chi classmate."

Xie Nan blocked Chi Chuzheng on her way to the cafeteria.

The sunny and handsome school heartthrob and the beautiful rich kid standing together indeed made a striking scene.

"Is there something you need?"

Xie Nan smiled slightly, "You left early last time, was there something up?"

"Yeah." Chi Chuzheng went along, "I had some matters to attend."

Xie Nan proactively invited her, "You left in such a rush last time, if you have time over the weekend, I’ll invite you out again?"

Chi Chuzheng refused Xie Nan’s invitation.

After school, she got cornered by a few companions being interrogated.

"I really don’t like him." Chi Chuzheng said helplessly, "Give me a break, please."

"Then who do you like?"

"..."

Being a rich second generation, Chi Chuzheng was adored upon entering the school.

Several people pursued her, yet the young heiress never dated anyone.

People thought only someone as popular as Xie Nan could catch her eye.

Yet Chi Chuzheng wasn’t interested in Xie Nan at all.

The boy named An Ji... never had much presence; few even saw his face clearly.

But Chi Chuzheng knew the boy was truly handsome, Xie Nan was nothing.

"No one." Chi Chuzheng pleaded, "I don’t like anyone, please just let me go."

"You really don’t like Xie Nan?"

Chi Chuzheng shook her head, "If I like him, may I be struck by lightning!"

Boom—

Heavy raindrops began pelting down from the sky, instantly filling the air with the sound of rain pouring.

Everyone looked at her with a dubious gaze.

"Cough, cough... just a coincidence." Chi Chuzheng swiftly broke free from them, pulling out an umbrella from the desk, "I have something to do, I’ll be leaving first!"

An Ji was a year ahead of her, in a different building.

She ran all the way to An Ji’s building, where most students had left.

Chi Chuzheng went upstairs and saw An Ji in the classroom.

He sat alone at his desk, staring out at the heavy rain.

Chi Chuzheng knocked on the door and threw the umbrella inside, turning around before the boy could look back, and sprinting away.

-

The next day.

As soon as Chi Chuzheng entered the school gate, she was pulled aside by her friend.

"Hey, Zhengzheng, did you hear about it?"

"Hear about what?" She had just arrived, hear about what?

"There’s a student in the third year, heard he’s an illegitimate child." Her friend spoke excitedly, "Just now someone came to make a scene, pointing at that person cursing, it was intense."

Chi Chuzheng wasn’t interested in these gossip, listened half-heartedly to her friend’s tale, without giving it another thought.
