Chapter 97 Huo Jinxin Returns to School



The weekend passed quickly, and Huo Jinxin, feeling a little annoyed, once again embarked on her journey to school.

She muttered to herself, "Ugh, I really don't want to go to school!"

The reason was nothing more than the person who made her feel down—Wei Zechen.

The thought of possibly running into Wei Zechen made Huo Jinxin feel a mix of emotions.

I originally thought this enthusiastic, cheerful, sunny, and always smiling boy would be a trustworthy and good person, but I never expected him to be a big liar.

Recalling the events of a few days ago, Huo Jinxin couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache and disappointment.

At that time, Wei Zechen would always approach her intentionally or unintentionally, showing her special attention and care.

Gradually, Huo Jinxin began to feel a little tempted.

I recall the first time I saw Wei Zechen; it was when he was sweating and running freely on the court.

At the time, Huo Jinxin was simply admiring the boy, thinking that he was not only handsome but also had excellent ball skills.

So, at that moment, Wei Zechen left a deep impression on her.

A chance encounter that followed made Huo Jinxin develop even more affection for Wei Zechen.

Once, she was studying in the library so engrossed that she forgot the time, and by the time she realized it was very late.

As she was about to leave, a light drizzle began to fall outside.

Just as she was worrying about how to get back to her dorm, Wei Zechen appeared like a savior.

Without saying a word, he shoved the umbrella in his hand into Huo Jinxin's hand, then rushed into the rain and left without looking back.

This sudden action surprised Huo Jinxin, but at the same time, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She couldn't help but think, "Is this the legendary idol drama plot? It's so beautiful!"

After that, fate seemed to keep bringing them together again and again.

Gradually, the relationship between the two became increasingly subtle, filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Just as Huo Jinxin was sitting in the car lost in thought, she suddenly heard the driver, Uncle Li, say softly, "Miss, we've arrived."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Uncle Li." Huo Jinxin snapped out of her reverie and replied politely.

Then he opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the school.

Every time she goes to or from school, the family driver will park the car some distance away from the school, and she has to walk the rest of the way, which takes about ten minutes.

The Huo family has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile. Apart from Huo Nanchu, who has appeared on the cover of some magazines, other family members are almost unknown to the public.

Therefore, on campus, Huo Jinxin was just an ordinary college student and did not receive any special treatment because of her family background.

However, less than two minutes after getting out of the car, Huo Jinxin unexpectedly ran into Wei Zechen.

This coincidence deepened her suspicions, and she couldn't help but think to herself, "My sister was right after all. He knows so much about me, even that I would get off the bus here. He even deliberately created this chance encounter. It seems that everything was intentional."

With this in mind, she decided to stay away from Wei Zechen.

Wei Zechen was really wronged. In fact, he and Huo Jinxin shared the same idea: to keep a low profile on campus.

He chose to get off here because the place was close to the school and had convenient parking.

However, this coincidence brought them together.

"Xin Xin, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you as soon as I arrived at school," Wei Zechen said with a big smile.

"Um."

Huo Jinxin responded politely with just one word, then quickly quickened her pace.

"Xin Xin, you walked so fast today, is something wrong?"

With his tall stature and long legs, Wei Zechen caught up with Huo Jinxin in a few steps and asked her questions.

"Yes, something came up," Huo Jinxin replied indifferently, without stopping her steps.

"Here, give me your schoolbag, I'll carry it for you." Wei Zechen said, reaching out to take Huo Jinxin's schoolbag, but she nimbly dodged him.

"No need, thank you."

Even if Wei Zechen was slow to realize, he realized at this moment that Huo Jinxin was intentionally distancing herself from him, which made him feel very confused and at a loss.

After trying to make conversation several times, Wei Zechen realized that Huo Jinxin seemed genuinely unwilling to communicate with him.

So he stopped insisting and simply followed silently behind her, escorting her all the way back to her dormitory.

However, Huo Jinxin did not utter a single word from beginning to end, which made his mood increasingly heavy, and in the end he could only return to his dormitory with a gloomy expression.

But he couldn't figure out why. After all, their relationship was very harmonious just last week, so why did Huo Jinxin intentionally distance herself from him after only one weekend?

After returning home, Wei Zechen kept reflecting on what he had done wrong and what had angered Huo Jinxin.

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out. It wasn't that she did anything wrong; it was because of a few words from Huo Jinning.

"Xin Xin, I just saw with my own eyes that Wei Da's most handsome guy escorted you back, you two..."

My roommate, Li Xiaolan, winked and made faces, giving me an expression as if she knew some huge secret.

Li Xiaolan is a girl from Jiangnan. She is gentle and charming, and her every move exudes a gentle and charming quality. Her voice is also soft and sweet. However, she is too gossipy.

"Stop guessing. He wasn't giving me a ride. I know my way around, I can find my dorm. Maybe he has his own things to take care of, anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

Huo Jinxin decisively denied it, successfully suppressing Li Xiaolan's burning desire for gossip.

"Did you two have a fight?" Li Xiaolan frowned, her face full of worry as she asked softly.

Li Xiaolan and Huo Jinxin are not only classmates, but also roommates in the same dormitory.

The two were very close and talked about everything. They both knew more or less about the relationship between Huo Jinxin and Wei Zechen.

She had originally thought highly of them as a perfect couple; the boy was handsome and dashing, and the girl was fresh and beautiful—they were a match made in heaven.

But what exactly is going on between these two? As a staunch fan of their pairing, Li Xiaolan feels it's her responsibility to try and salvage the relationship.

"No, we're not related, so why would we argue?" Huo Jinxin's eyes were dim, and her tone revealed a hint of disappointment that she couldn't hide.

Seeing this, Li Xiaolan knew perfectly well that Huo Jinxin did not want to discuss this topic anymore.

So he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Oh, then let's go eat together later."

"Xiao Lan, I won't go. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm a bit tired now. I want to rest for a while. Besides, I have class this afternoon, and I'm afraid I won't have the energy. I'm so sorry..." Huo Jinxin looked exhausted, and her weak voice was heartbreaking.

"Okay, then you should get some rest. I'll go out now and won't bother you anymore." Li Xiaolan nodded understandingly.

She then stood up, picked up her phone from the table, quietly left the room, and closed the door behind her.
