Just as I was preparing for the college entrance exam, my childhood sweetheart awakened the Wa-senpa

Chapter 56 A Disgrace

Half a pan-fried bun was swallowed, along with the suspicions about the girl.

Chen Chen never intended to doubt Lin Jianlu, but Lin Jianlu's recent behavior made him have to think more about it.

Her sudden leave of absence, her acting alone, and her strange attitude towards him...

All the signs made him feel that she was hiding something from him.

But to be honest, we're all not kids anymore, who doesn't have a few secrets?

Let's not even talk about her. Didn't he also hide some things from her?

So even though he was full of doubts, he chose to remain silent. He believed that Lin Jianlu was still the Lin Jianlu he knew, and even if there were secrets, they wouldn't affect their relationship.

But it's unlikely that he harbored no resentment whatsoever.

After all, the two who used to be inseparable now seem to have drifted apart without anyone noticing, and anyone would feel disappointed in that situation.

But Lin Jianlu tonight lessened his sense of loss considerably.

Even though they had secrets between them, she remained completely unguarded with him. The pure intimacy he showed her warmed his heart, making him want to pull her into his arms.

But the girl's shyness thwarted his advances. She hurriedly climbed onto the back of the electric scooter, kicked him, and urged him on:

"Hurry up! What are you standing there for!"

Yes, Lin Jianlu realized she had acted impulsively again. Her kiss-like actions just now seemed a bit too bold, so much so that she now only dared to lower her head, stare at the bag in her hand, occasionally picking out a small thing and stuffing it into her mouth, then secretly munching away like a little groundhog.

The helmet she had just been annoyed with now became her best cover. As long as her head was lowered enough, Chen Chen would definitely not notice the blush on her face!

The electric scooter started up again, and the evening wind seemed to pick up a bit more, like a harbinger of rain.

"It's going to rain soon, I have to ride faster, sit tight."

"Um."

She obediently hugged him tightly.

A cool evening breeze brushed against my hair, and my skin felt slightly warm against the night sky.

……

Because of a problem that occurred when I bought clothes last time, I haven't been able to buy the shoes I wanted to buy for Chen Chen until now.

It's Saturday again. Cheng Xiuxiu said she's going to her house for a barbecue tomorrow, so I'll just buy Chen Chen's shoes today.

This will also save that annoying little brat from nagging about it all the time.

"Chen Chen, Chen Chen! You're such a hero! You're amazing! How did it feel to save someone from the water? Did you receive any awards?"

It was the same shopping mall as last time. As soon as they met today, Yan Yiyan couldn't wait to grab Chen Chen and ask him all sorts of questions. She was so excited, it was as if she had seen her long-lost sister from many years ago.

"It's fake, it's not him," Lin Jianlu replied without hesitation.

"Well?"

Chen Chen, who was awkwardly scratching his head, was stunned when he heard this. He turned to look at Lin Jianlu and saw that she had her arms crossed, her face calm, as if she had everything under control. He understood what was going on and smiled.

It turns out she was quite interested in him.

"Yes, it's fake, it wasn't me, I didn't save anyone." He nodded, echoing Lin Jianlu.

"Huh? No way?"

"Why not?" Lin Jianlu asked with a smile. "Look, even Chen Chen, the person in question, has denied it. What else is there that we can't do?"

"Uh..." The girl frowned, speechless.

"Then I must have made a mistake."

Yes, it's a mistake. I bet a lot of people on the internet have gotten it wrong. Otherwise, why would Akashi Mio ask Chen Chen to release a video to clarify?

However, it seems that Chen Chen doesn't want this video.

In Lin Jianlu's opinion, it should not be issued. It's clearly some people who have preconceived notions, made a mistake, and spread rumors. It's not like Chen Chen wanted to take credit for it. It's none of their business!

"Oh right, we're here to buy shoes today, let's go!"

Fengchuan Xiangzi didn't come today; only Yan Yiyan did.

With that seductive and shameless woman gone, Lin Jianlu felt that the atmosphere between the three of them was much more harmonious.

"Chen Chen, what kind of style of clothing do you think Cheng Xiuxiu likes?"

"Uh...it should be a skirt, she looks cute in a little skirt."

"I'm referring to guys! What kind of guys' fashion sense does she like?"

"I'm not too sure about that. She hasn't shown any particular preference for any particular style of clothing. I feel like she likes it when I wear my school uniform."

Hmph, look at your confidence! Why don't you just say, "Cheng Xiuxiu likes me, so she'll like me even if I don't wear anything!"

Uh……

It's not that we can't deny this possibility, after all, sometimes girls just like guys who don't wear anything.

Oh dear, why are you suddenly getting so lewd!

Lin Jianlu shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of all the messy thoughts in her mind.

She noticed that Chen Chen's mental health score was slowly rising, starting from when he denied saving the person.

It seems this incident had a significant impact on him. Being mistaken for someone else by many people clearly caused him some distress, which explains why his expression was so strange when Yan Yiyan mentioned it.

The mall was bustling with people on Saturday. She never liked crowded places, and if she hadn't wanted to finish her task quickly, she would have forgotten about it long ago.

But Yan Yiyan was clearly a shopaholic. Although she said something like, "Chen Chen, look at me, I've gone to such lengths for your love life. I'm practically at your beck and call. You'd better repay me properly after you hook up with a rich woman!"

But in reality, she wasn't the type to stay at home. She would go out for a stroll whenever she had nothing to do, let alone having Chen Chen, a shopping buddy with whom she had a good relationship and was also in love. It was the perfect reason to go out.

In short, although she doesn't seem to have any feelings for Chen Chen, she's been around him for a long time, so she gives off a bad woman vibe.

"But to be fair, I feel that no matter what shoes you buy, they will effectively improve Chen Chen's appearance." Yan Yiyan frowned, glanced down at Chen Chen's shoes, and said, "Can you please throw away those shoes you're wearing right after you buy them today? I really can't stand looking at them anymore. Aren't you ashamed? Those blatantly fake things."

Lin Jianlu felt extremely embarrassed by these words. After all, she had bought those shoes without even looking at them, so if anyone had to blame someone, it would be her.

But Chen Chen didn't seem to care at all.

It's more accurate to say that he cares far more about girls' outfits than about his own.

As they passed through the women's clothing section, Chen Chen was overwhelmed by the sights and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Eh... those white stockings..."

Oh dear, you can watch if you want, but can you please not say it out loud? It sounds so vulgar.

"It doesn't feel as good as Qiqi's white stockings..."

The two girls instantly united and walked far away from Chen Chen.
