Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Stay Pure and Wait for the Right Time Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Stay Pure and Wait for the Right Time Luo Qiao also knew that her words might be hurtful, but she was selfish and didn’t want to agree without knowing the situation with the Fang Family.
Lu Yichen stood up, walked in front of Luo Qiao, and squatted down. He took her hand and said, “I know, I was a bit too eager today, not considering everything fully. You’re right.
Can you give me a word of reassurance? So that I can have peace of mind when I return to the Capital. You are so wonderful, I’m afraid others might come to court you, I’m afraid you might fall for someone else.”
Luo Qiao said indifferently, “You don’t have confidence in me.”
Hearing this, Lu Yichen quickly explained, “It’s not that I don’t have confidence in you; I’m just worried that, with me being away, some blind fool might show up in front of you.”
Luo Qiao said, “Let’s make a pact for two years then. In these two years, we’ll both work hard. Once I’ve finished my college entrance exams, if you still feel the same, and you don’t have any of those adoring girls or childhood sweethearts around you—and the same goes for me—then we will honor our promise and make it official.”
Lu Yichen nodded, “Okay, I promise you. I’ll use this time to better myself and stay chaste for you until the awaited time.”
Luo Qiao chuckled, surprised by his words, “Easier said than done. Let’s work hard together.”
The next day, when Stone saw Luo Qiao, he ‘ao’ roared, wanting to pounce on her, but someone grabbed his collar, making him look comical, which made Luo Qiao laugh.
Stone exclaimed, “Sister, Brother is bullying me!”
Luo Qiao laughed and said, “Stop messing around and come eat.”
Stone said with a hint of grievance, “Sister, Brother is bullying me. He didn’t tell me you were coming back.”
Lu Yichen said, “I just wanted to surprise you.”
Stone looked at Lu Yichen skeptically, “Really?”
Lu Yichen said seriously, “Of course. Don’t you feel surprised to see your sister today?”
After giving it some thought, Stone nodded, “Okay, I wronged you then.”
After eating, Lu Yichen handed Luo Qiao a big bag. She asked, “What’s this?”
Lu Yichen said, “I did a favor for a comrade some time ago. He sent me some raisins and goji berries from Xinjiang.”
Luo Qiao asked, “Did you leave any for yourself?”
Stone ran over and said, “He gave me a small portion, and the rest—all of it—he brought here. Brother said they’re good for the skin.”
Luo Qiao smiled, got up, took a piece of kraft paper and divided a portion, asking Lu Yichen to put it in his briefcase for him to put a few in his water when drinking.
Lu Yichen was extremely happy inside; although the little girl had set a two-year term with him, she had him in her heart now.
Today, Luo Qiao also headed to school early. As usual, she went straight to her homeroom Teacher Ge to report in.
Seeing Luo Qiao walk in, Teacher Ge smiled and said, “You’ve come. Have a seat. I have something to tell you.”
Luo Qiao didn’t sit down; instead, she replied, “Teacher Ge, please say what you need to, I’ll stand and listen.”
Teacher Ge took out a set of papers and handed them over, “Are you still not going to attend classes this term?”
Luo Qiao replied, “Mhm, I’ll come back to school for a month before the college entrance exam to brush up on questions.”
Teacher Ge shook her head with a hint of helplessness, “I really don’t know what you’re busy with—you won’t skip a grade, nor will you come back to attend classes.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Teacher Ge, shall we get to the point?”
Teacher Ge then said, “At the end of October, there’s a math competition. The school wants to select five students to participate, and the principal asked me to inform you, hoping you can represent the school.”
Luo Qiao asked with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll mess it up?”
Teacher Ge replied, “We believe in you, we’re confident you will make us proud.”
Luo Qiao asked, “Is there a specific date for the competition?”
Teacher Ge stood up, took the document over, handed it to Luo Qiao to take a look, and Luo Qiao said, “Does this mean I need to come back to school early for training?”
Teacher Ge smiled, “Yes, come back half a month early. The school will assign the best teachers to train you in that area.”
Luo Qiao replied, “All right, since I’m part of the school, it’s my duty to participate.”
