This Childhood Sweetheart is a Little Sweet

Chapter 52

"What is this, it turns out to be a big adventure..."

"Yeah, I thought I had stumbled upon a shocking juicy gossip, but it was just the drama club's acting divas putting on a self-directed show... Tsk, boring..."

The crowd around muttered, seeing that Shen Yuzhe had been led away by the girl, those without a show to watch gradually dispersed.

The poofy-dressed guy stood there, staring blankly at the figures of Jiang Wei and Shen Yuzhe, dazed for a while, before lamenting, "What the heck was that all about? In the end, I was the real big joke who fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Sheesh... How unlucky."

As the heat dissipated, Jiang Wei also brought Shen Yuzhe to a safe area away from the crowd.

Jiang Wei glanced behind her, no one was looking in their direction anymore, and she finally let out a long breath of relief.

"It's okay now, you're safe."

Jiang Wei gave a faint smile and said softly to him.

"Thank... thank you..."

Shen Yuzhe's gaze fell on Jiang Wei's beautiful eyes that shone like stars, and for a moment he was dazed—was she a fairy? A celestial being descended from the heavens...

"You're welcome."

Jiang Wei spoke gently, her mouth curving into a slight arc: "Next time, don't contact that classmate again, he was just trying to make fun of you..."

"I... I know, at first I thought she was a girl, I..."

Shen Yuzhe flailed about, trying to explain, but seeing that he was still nervous, Jiang Wei reassured him by patting his arm, "It's okay, classmate, you don't need to explain to me. I just couldn't stand watching that scene, so I stepped in to help you."

"Now they've all dispersed, you don't have to be afraid anymore."

As Jiang Wei spoke softly, she glanced at the stage, where Yi Ming had taken a script and sat in the cycling representative's seat. Seeing Jiang Wei look at him, he smiled and stood up, stretching his arms out to wave at her.

Jiang Wei's heart stirred, and she curved her lips imperceptibly. Then she turned to Shen Yuzhe and said, "Well, I'll be going then."

That innocent smile did not belong to him.

"Classmate, you..."

Shen Yuzhe had tried to reach out and stop her, but in that moment, a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind—what right did he have to make her stay?

Throughout the closing ceremony, Jiang Wei and Little Liang snacked and joked around. She smiled towards the stage, waved at the stage, engaging in an interaction with the cycling representative named Yi Ming in a way that seemed only the two of them understood. When his speech ended, he came rushing down towards her.

Yi Ming gently stroked Jiang Wei's hair and even reached out to flick her nose.

They leaned in close, whispering intimately, perhaps discussing the embarrassing incident that had just occurred.

Throughout the visit, all that Shen Yuzhe observed and pondered over was this jumbled mess...

Yi Ming arrived, and Little Liang knew she shouldn't play the role of a third wheel anymore. She rolled her mischievous little eyes and suddenly clutched her stomach, wailing, "Ow, why does my stomach hurt so much..."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wei was taken aback and immediately concerned, "Is it your intestinal disorder acting up again?"

Little Liang: "Probably, the three urgencies of life, my dear Jiang Wei, I may not be able to accompany you anymore."

After saying that, Little Liang discreetly winked at Yi Ming, as if signaling, "Sister can only help you this far..."

Yi Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled, indicating he got the message. Little Liang stood up, clutching her stomach, and patted Jiang Wei's shoulder: "I'll head back to the dorm first, we'll meet again on the road, let's get together another day."

"Be careful then, remember to take your medicine when you get back."

Jiang Wei crammed the easy-to-digest snacks from the snack bag into Little Liang's hands and said softly, "Don't eat any more spicy stuff for now, no sneaking snacks, stick to the easy-to-digest ones for now."

"Got it, my little 'nagging wife'!"

Little Liang curved her mouth in a smile, raised her hand to bid farewell to Jiang Wei and Yi Ming, then turned and vanished in a flash.
