Chapter 52 What's Zhou Yanchuan doing here?
Jiang Zhao thought he had misheard, and looked at the girl with a look of confusion and surprise.
She seemed to hear a very soft voice: "Because I have someone I secretly love."
"What kind of guy could be better than Lu Jingci?"
In other words, "What kind of guy could make a girl like her have a crush on him?"

The competition is over, and the scheduled time is tomorrow morning to go back together.
After resting in the dormitory for a while, the group started discussing going out for a stroll as evening approached.
Wen Jiu is currently living in a four-person dormitory. Besides her and Jiang Zhao, the other two girls are experimental students.
After spending the last few days together, the girls got along quite well. Whenever they mentioned going out, they would start rummaging through their suitcases for clothes.
The school they attend is located across from a commercial street, and next door is a prestigious university.
Every day, students come and go, and there are various small stalls set up with tables and shelves along the roadside, making it especially lively at night.
A group of people had been locked down for so many days and couldn't take it anymore. They were overjoyed to see everything as soon as they came out.
In just a few short steps, they were already carrying large and small bags.
However, Wen Jiu didn't buy anything. During the shopping trip, she saw a hair clip that she liked, but it was a bit too expensive for her.
And since she didn't plan to wear it herself, she didn't buy it.
A group of girls were strolling down the street when Wen Jiu slowed down as she passed a small stall, her gaze drawn to a small lamp displayed on the shelf.
Seeing her stop, the stall owner immediately stood up from his chair: "Come and take a look. It's a college student setting up a stall, and the prices are very reasonable."
Wen Jiu walked over and pointed to the small lamp: "Can I take a look at this?"
"Of course," the boy said as he helped her pick it up, "Are you a Harry Potter fan too?"
Wen Jiu shook her head. "A friend of mine likes it."
“Oh, I see,” the boy said, handing it over. “He’ll definitely like this gift.”
Wen Jiu recognized the lamp's design as Hogwarts Castle. She reached out and took it; it was much heavier than she had imagined, and seemed to be made of ceramic.
Warm yellow light shone through the openwork windows, making it seem as if a fireplace was burning inside, illuminating the window lattice patterns and the brickwork of the castle's exterior walls, just like the real thing.
"I majored in ceramics, and this was my final project last semester. It took me a long time to complete."
"That's amazing," she exclaimed sincerely.
The boy scratched his head sheepishly and said, "If you like it, I'll give you a discount."
Zhou Yanchuan has loved Harry Potter since he was very young, and he's also a little afraid of the dark now. Wen Jiu felt that if she gave this to him, he would definitely like it.
She carefully held it in her arms: "How much does this cost?"
"I originally priced it at 500, because even disregarding the materials, it took me a month just to make it. But you're the first person I've asked about since I started this stall. If you want it, I'll make it 350."
Wen Jiu hesitated for only a moment before nodding: "Okay."
She took the money out of her pocket, counted it, and handed it over.
Just after paying, Wen Jiu suddenly noticed the pair of small ceramic pendants beside her.
At their age, it's hard to resist wearing the same little things, accessories, backpacks, or even clothes as their friends.
It's like a symbol of friendship.
Wen Jiu looked at it carefully, thinking to herself: If I give this to Mengmeng, she will be very happy.
“I also want these two little pendants,” she pointed.
The boy looked over and said, "Okay, I'll take it off for you."
"How much is it?" Wen Jiu took out her small coin purse again.
The boy smiled at her and said, "It's free, it's yours."
"ah?"
Seeing the girl's surprised expression, Yi Kai smiled and said, "You're the first customer I've had since I started this stall. That's encouraging."
Wen Jiu's eyes lit up with joy, and she thanked him softly.
"It's alright," Yi Kai said, taking the two pendants off and putting them in the box. "Shall I wrap them up for you?"
"good."
While others were packing their things, several boys from the experiment walked over, including Lu Jingci.
As soon as they saw Wen Jiu, a boy nudged him with his arm.
Wen Jiu glanced in that direction only once before looking away.
The boys assumed she was just shy and started teasing her.
The two girls in the experiment were also overjoyed. If it weren't for Wen Jiu and Lu Jingci, it would be difficult to even see each other at school, let alone be so close.
They gently shook the girl's arm, saying, "We've come to find you."
Wen Jiu didn't react much, she just took the bag from the boy opposite her and said softly, "Thank you."
Yi Kai glanced at the girl in front of him, then looked at the group of boys who were looking this way.
He guessed that these people were the super-talented high school kids from the neighboring school who were being talked about.
Moreover, judging from the reactions of the others, Yi Kai's gaze returned to the girl in front of him.
They're being watched.
Lu Jingci walked closer and saw the bag the girl was carrying, then glanced at the stall in front of him: "You like these?"
Yi Kai had the illusion that if the girl just nodded, he could buy out his entire stall, but the girl simply said in a low voice, "It's for a friend."
The boy wasn't annoyed; his tone remained gentle: "Is there anything you like?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several boys nearby started to jeer.
"Oh~"
Wen Jiu frowned slightly. She could sense that the boy was treating her differently, but he had always been polite and respectful, so she hadn't said anything. But at this moment, his feelings were a little too obvious.
She didn't want it to be like this.
"Lu Jingci".
Wen Jiu had just opened her mouth when she stopped because of the person who suddenly appeared in her line of sight.
Her eyelashes trembled; perhaps the light was blinding her, causing her to hallucinate.
But the figure under the streetlight just a few steps away was unmistakably him.
My heart felt like it had been gently bumped, and then it started beating very fast, even my fingertips felt hot.
Lu Jingci looked at the person who called his name but then suddenly fell silent, and noticed her gaze behind him.
He turned his head and looked in that direction.
His gaze suddenly stopped when he saw the person not far away.
Even in the dim light, his face remained clear and defined. A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead. He was dressed in black, exuding an air of arrogance and unruliness.
Even if he was just standing there casually, quite a few girls around him were already secretly looking at him.
Lu Jingci's eyes darkened slightly.
When the group realized something was wrong, they all looked up.
Upon seeing the boy under the lamp, Jiang Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhou Yanchuan!"
The two girls beside her blushed the moment they saw the boy.
What is he doing here?
