SEVEN YEARS WITHOUT YOU, VOLUME 4 - SEASON 48 EPISODE 8

“Yes, that’s the case, no?”

“Of course not, my grades are better than yours.” Huo Mian wasn’t convinced.

“But you’re second this time.”

“I was tricked by you!” Huo Mian was furious.

“But you’re second,” Qin Chu said innocently.

Huo Mian was so angry that she wanted to throw a plate of food at Qin Chu’s face. However, she still had to consider her lady-like style.

“Chu, you’re going too far, don’t bully her too much…” Gao Ran said.

“From now on, only she can bully me…”

1

Then, without waiting for Huo Mian to respond, Qin Chu swapped their plates.

He pushed his food to Huo Mian and ate her half-eaten food.

Zhu Lingling and Gao Ran were taken aback.

“You…” Huo Mian was speechless.

“Girlfriend, do you want some coke? I’ll go buy it,” Qin Chu said gently.

1

“I don’t want it.”

“What about green tea?”

“No.”

“I guess mineral water is fine…”

“Yes, mineral water is fine.”

After being brainwashed, Huo Mian nodded; she actually wanted to drink mineral water.

Then, Qin Chu got up to go buy some.

Huo Mian finally reacted.

“D*mn, Qin Chu… come back here… who’s your girlfriend?” Huo Mian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“I finally see what Qin Chu’s plan is… He’s so deep…” Zhu Lingling finally understood.

Qin Chu wasn’t bullying Huo Mian; he was trying to trick her.

1

Unknowingly, she had become his girlfriend.

Who said that it was not easy for boys to woo girls?

It took Qin Chu less than five minutes to woo Huo Mian.

1

When Qin Chu came back with the water, he placed it in front of Huo Mian.

Gao Ran looked displeased. “You only bought one bottle? What about us?”

“You’re not my girlfriend,” Qin Chu said faintly.

1

Gao Ran froze on the spot…

“F*ck… Are you showing off your love to me?”

“It’s over, it’s over. We’re going to be despised as third wheels in the future.” Zhu Lingling laughed.

Just as Huo Mian was about to say something, Qin Chu helped her uncap the bottle.

Then, he thoughtfully handed her a straw.

“Drink slowly, don’t choke,” Qin Chu said.

Huo Mian: “…”

“I’m not a kid. I don’t need a straw.”

“It’s safer with a straw,” Qin Chu explained.

Zhu Lingling held her forehead. “It’s over, it’s over… What’s going on? Can someone tell me?”

“Huo Mian, how do you feel right now?” Gao Ran picked up his chopsticks and used them as microphones to interview Huo Mian.

“I… I’m really confused… I have no idea what happened… Who am I? Where am I?” Huo Mian was speechless.

1

Later, many years later, they talked about the interesting things that happened at Second High.

Gao Ran and Zhu Lingling even joked that Qin Chu took five minutes and a bottle of water to settle Huo Mian.

Mr. Qin, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it. “I used an exam to settle my wife.”

1

At first, Huo Mian thought that Qin Chu was just playing around, but after calling her ‘girlfriend’ so many times, she really got into character.

1

When school was almost over, Qin Chu wrote a note and threw it at Huo Mian’s head.

1

She was still in a daze when she woke up with a displeased expression.

Then she slowly picked up the note. “Wait for me at the west entrance after school.”

Huo Mian froze, not knowing what Qin Chu wanted to do.

She wanted to ask him, but he had already turned his face away from her.

The classroom was quiet and everyone was reading. Huo Mian was embarrassed to ask at that moment.

After school, Huo Mian didn’t want to go through the west gate, so she headed straight for the north gate.

It seemed like she wasn’t going to fulfill her promise with Qin Chu, or maybe that she wasn’t going to accept his one-sided invitation.
