Chapter 59: Chapter 059 We Are Not On The Same Path_1
“Alright! Classmates, in this reunion, we’ll first go hiking together. Once we reach the top, we’ll gather there. Don’t get lost and don’t wander off alone.” Huo Jinlan took charge in a dignified manner, standing in front and making her announcement.
“Gentlemen, please take care of the ladies. Those who can’t keep up can slow down a bit,” Qiao Jingxuan, standing beside her, said in his gentle and refined manner. He couldn’t resist casting a glance at Jiang Nanfei, he was quickly crestfallen to see that she wasn’t sneaking peeks at him as she used to.
Since they had met, she hadn’t looked at him even once. She hadn’t responded to any of the letters he wrote her during the summer break. Something was wrong! She used to gaze at him affectionately in the past.
This realization left Qiao Jingxuan disinterested in the reunion. He just wanted to find a secluded spot to confront her about what was going on.
Down below, a group of girls blushed excitedly as they watched Qiao Jingxuan.
Jiang Nanfei observed nonchalantly, standing completely still. Since she wasn’t moving, Lu Qingtian also waited at the back.
The path up the mountain wasn’t wide in the first place, so it was better to wait for everyone else to ascend before following behind.
Standing in the front, Qiao Jingxuan kept turning back to look at Jiang Nanfei, becoming increasingly irritated that she wasn’t sticking close to him. He wanted to turn back right away, but the throng of girls pushing him from behind forced him to keep moving forward.
The distance from Jiang Nanfei was growing.
After a moment of confusion, only a few people remained at the base of the mountain.
Xie Fei, who had not found an opportunity to speak to Jiang Nanfei, awkwardly approached her and asked, “Aren’t you going up the mountain?”
“No! I still need to go home to feed the pigs. I don’t have time to climb the mountain,” she replied nonchalantly, certain that Xie Fei would grunt and walk away. But to her surprise, Xie Fei stood immobile, staring at her expectantly.
“I… I’ll accompany you instead! I’ve been to Shuangmen Mountain many times. I couldn’t be more indifferent to it.” Xie Fei scratched his head, avoiding her gaze.
Jiang Nanfei scrutinized him, ensuring he wasn’t playing a prank, then quietly let out a sigh of relief.
“Aren’t you going, Nan Fei?” Lu Qingtian inquired.
“I’m not going. It’s late, and I need to get home! When you reach the top, please let the class monitor know.”
“Alright! Then I’ll get going.” Before waiting for a response, Lu Qingtian dashed off.
She was left dumbfounded by his physical prowess and stamina, something she couldn’t help but envy.
“Perfect! I’m also heading back. Let’s go together!”
Huh? Wasn’t that an unexpected voice?
Jiang Nanfei turned around in surprise, almost bumping into Gongxi Yunqi who was standing surprisingly close behind her. She instinctively stepped back to put some space between them. When did he get so close to her?
“I’m sorry! We’re not heading the same way.” Jiang Nanfei barely thought before declining, remembering what Huo Beijiang had said before they left.
Gongxi Yunqi was taken aback, surprised by the blunt rejection. Didn’t they both need to pass through the town on their way home from here?
Xie Fei was jubilant. “Let’s go together, Jiang Nanfei!”
Jiang Nanfei had known Xie Fei much longer than Gongxi Yunqi, they had been classmates since middle school and had known each other for nearly six years. But Xie Fei had always enjoyed making sarcastic remarks at her, so his behavior today was indeed strange.
She gave him a suspicious look, “You have something to tell me, don’t you?”
Xie Fei was taken aback. How did she know?
“Let’s walk and talk!” He said, taking the lead. Xie Fei quickly caught up.
Gongxi Yunqi stood there, watching their retreating figures with a thoughtful expression on his face.
