Chapter 162: The Calculating Fan
Shen Mingxuan gently took hold of Shi Qingqing's hand. "Angel chick, what's your phone number? Or your WeChat ID? Anything works, let's stay in touch. Running into you today was so sudden; next time, I'll prepare some proper compliments before coming to praise you. I apologize for today, I just acted purely on instinct..."
Shi Qingqing...
She really wanted to punch someone this time!
"I don't have one." Absolutely none!
Her hand was being gently enveloped by Shen Mingxuan's large hand...
Shi Qingqing didn't struggle at the very first moment. She wanted to test whether she could feel any sense of an electric shock.
If there were a current, would her phone regain its battery?
Because the first time she shook hands with Zhan Su, there had been a strong current...
Perhaps if she held hands with another handsome guy, it would be the same?
But soon, she was disappointed.
There wasn't the slightest reaction at all, ugh!
It seemed she still had to rely on Zhan Su, that human-shaped power bank.
Shen Mingxuan wore an "I understand you" look, gentle and elegant. "Angel chick, you really are a ruthless scheming fan, hiding here all by yourself—were you waiting for me? Wanting to catch a glimpse of me? If I had known I come to the school every day, I could have seen my angel chick sooner."
Shi Qingqing felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Just how narcissistic could this guy be to utter words that made her hair stand on end?
She quickly leaped several steps away from Shen Mingxuan. "Heavenly King Shen, you really misunderstood. I'm not waiting for you here, I'm waiting for someone else."
Well, in a moment of agitation, she had blurted out her true purpose.
Shen Mingxuan gave Shi Qingqing another flirtatious glance. "Now that I've caught you red-handed, you still refuse to admit it. How can there be such a cute little thing in this world..."
Shi Qingqing... was deeply awed by the extent of his narcissism.
Zhan Su also held a high opinion of himself, but fortunately, he hadn't reached the incurable stage of terminal narcissism like this guy.
"Oh, Heavenly King, you dropped your wallet!"
Shi Qingqing pointed behind Shen Mingxuan.
Half-doubting, Shen Mingxuan turned his head back. Seizing this window of opportunity, Shi Qingqing darted into the small woods and fled in a panic.
Shen Mingxuan burst out laughing.
This little scheming fan is so cute!
The more he looked at her, the more he liked her...
Just at that moment, his phone rang. He answered it.
Zhan Su's iceberg-like voice came through from the other end. "If you're done daydreaming, get your ass in here!"
Shen Mingxuan raised his chin toward the surveillance camera at the entrance gate.
Zhan Su must have already seen him from inside Qing Garden to be speaking like this.
"Do you know the angel chick from just now? I feel like it might be love at first sight!" Shen Mingxuan said, casting a distant glance back toward the depths of the small woods.
"I don't know her, love at first sight your foot! Stop preying on Qingming's girls. Aren't your countless female fans enough to satisfy you? You failed today's test and credit evaluation; you're going to be Qingming's very first diamond badge holder to be held back a grade. You're going to shame the entire Shen family clan!"
"Damn it, Zhan Su! Did you eat gunpowder today?"
Shen Mingxuan put away his flirty demeanor toward girls; he had only come to school today because there was an important test.
If he really failed, the reporters would probably stir up all sorts of gossip...
He truly couldn't afford to lose that face.
With lingering reluctance, he glanced once more in the direction where Shi Qingqing had departed, and walked into Qing Garden.

With her backpack on her shoulders and her dead phone in her pocket, Shi Qingqing arrived at Zhan Su's apartment.
Since her phone was out of power, her overall morale had plummeted as well.
Along the way, she kept encouraging herself: *You've already taken advance pay from the guy; you can't just play truant casually.*
