Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Girl, You Have No Loyalty! Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Girl, You Have No Loyalty! After running into the school, Chen Nan didn’t dare to go back to the classroom.
Although Jiang Xiaomi wasn’t in the same class as him, she was still on the fourth floor. Chen Nan felt guilty and was afraid of being found by her, so he had to keep his distance. After all, a grown man running into the ladies’ restroom was not exactly an honorable act.
As he aimlessly strolled around the campus, Chen Nan was considering where to find some fun, when Su Qingqing called him.
“You damn idiot, smelly fool, where are you?”
As soon as he answered the phone, Su Qingqing’s voice, filled with fury, came through.
Chen Nan was puzzled. Had this girl taken the wrong medicine? She was fine during lunch, so why the sudden change of face?
“I’m over by the basketball court, what’s up?”
“You’re still in the mood to play basketball?” Su Qingqing said angrily. “You dead idiot, you’ve ruined my reputation, and I’m not going to let you off the hook!”
“I wasn’t playing basketball…”
Chen Nan had barely started to respond when he sensed something was off and quickly asked, “Are you mistaken? When did I ever ruin your reputation?” He was filled with confusion and thought with frustration that this girl might have been assaulted yet thought it was him who did it? If that was the case, it would be a huge injustice.
It shouldn’t be that bad, should it?
Still angry, Su Qingqing said, “Humph, less nonsense, come back to the classroom at once, I need to settle this with you.”
“Alright… no, not good, I can’t come back.”
Chen Nan urgently refused; he was afraid of being found by Jiang Xiaomi, or else he would have gone back to the classroom long ago.
Su Qingqing, clearly infuriated, stamped her foot, “You smelly fool, dare you not listen to me, are you coming back or not?”
“I…” Chen Nan gritted his teeth as if he could imagine Su Qingqing pouting and glaring at him, “I haven’t done anything wrong by you, I won’t return, not even if you beat me to death.”
“If you don’t come back, I’ll never let you off the hook!”
“Even if you don’t let me off the hook, I’m still not coming back.”
“You damn idiot, rotten fool, stinky idiot, humph!” Su Qingqing vented and finally felt a bit helpless. “The basketball court, right? Don’t you dare run away, I’m coming to find you.”
Chen Nan agreed and then hung up the phone.
Less than two minutes later, he saw Su Qingqing approaching with a slightly red face and panting.
“You stinky fool, why didn’t you come back to the classroom when I asked?” As soon as she arrived, Su Qingqing placed a hand on her hip, pointed her slender White Jade Finger at Chen Nan’s nose, her eyes wide and angry, “Are you doing this on purpose, avoiding me?”
Seeing how cute the girl looked at that moment, Chen Nan smiled and said, “Why would I avoid you? Don’t forget, we’re good buddies.”
“You’re not lying to me?”
Chen Nan sighed, “With the relationship between us two guys, it’s as solid as iron. I could deceive anyone but not you, right?”
Su Qingqing pouted, “Then why didn’t you come back to the classroom?”
“It’s all your fault,” Chen Nan glanced at her and said, “To bring you that thing earlier, I rushed into the fourth-floor girls’ restroom and was caught by that wild girl Jiang Xiaomi. Then she started a thousand-mile chase after me, and then… there’s no ‘then’.”
Su Qingqing chuckled, “So that wild girl has targeted you?”
“Yeah, if she spreads this around, my good name will be completely wrecked,” Chen Nan said. “Buddy, for your sake, I’m ready to take a bullet!”
Chen Nan had expected Su Qingqing to be moved by his words, but instead, she laughed out loud and said, “Great, this is going to be so much fun, I can’t wait for the show.”
Chen Nan wanted to scold her, but he was lost for words, “Don’t you have any loyalty?”
Su Qingqing’s eyes widened as if suddenly remembering something, and pointing her finger at Chen Nan’s nose, she said, “I almost forgot, you have the nerve to speak to me about loyalty? You big fool, being so close to me at lunch that now the whole school is saying we’re dating. Some even say I’ve had an abortion for you, ruining my many years of good reputation.”
This, this, this… I’d take responsibility if it comes to that.
Chen Nan finally understood what she meant by ruining her reputation.
“So… I’ll come forward to clarify for everyone and restore your reputation?” Chen Nan scratched his head as he spoke.
“That kind of thing only gets worse the more you try to explain it, it can’t be cleared up with just a few words.”
“Then what should we do?”
Su Qingqing’s eyes rolled as a mischievous smile appeared on her lips and her charming dimples emerged, she playfully said, “Actually, it’s very simple. You don’t need to explain at all, just admit you’re my boyfriend and that will do.”
Chen Nan felt his brain struggled to catch up, “You… you’re trying to pick me up?”
