Chapter 73 - The Beauty at the School Gate

“Get out of here!” Ye Xuan demanded.

Bang!

Something hit the door.

It turned out that Ye Xuan had slammed the door shut, and he had already made his escape.

He had greeted Wu Xiangjun and then promptly bolted.

Wait for Lu Miaochan to come and settle the score?

Only a fool would do that!

Ye Xuan thought about it and realized he had nowhere to go; sleeping arrangements for the night were still an issue.

He had planned to stay overnight at Lu Miaochan’s house, but that now seemed utterly impossible.

Ye Xuan figured it was necessary to expedite his plans to rent a house!

Having been busy with numerous things ever since arriving in East Sea, he hadn’t had a moment to spare, and now didn’t even have a place to stay.

He called a taxi and told the driver to take him to a nearby bar street.

Half an hour later, the car stopped near the college town not far from East Sea University.

The college town was surrounded by several universities, including East Sea University, where Lu Miaochan was studying.

Nearby was a well-known bar street open mainly to students within the campus.

As it was located in the college town, most establishments were lounges.

They didn’t feature ear-deafening music; instead, one could enjoy a drink, listen to soothing music, and observe the pretty girls walking by—an entertainment perfectly suited for college students.

Ye Xuan got out of the car in the college town and was just about to head to the bar street when suddenly a surprised voice came from behind him.

“Ye Xuan!”

The voice was crisp, as pleasant as that of a warbler.

Huh?

Ye Xuan turned around in confusion, only to see a tall woman in uniform high heels, holding several books and walking toward him.

She wore black-rimmed glasses on her nose, her skin white as creamy jade, dressed in a white shirt and a black short skirt, perfectly proportioned—a bona fide beauty.

“It’s her!”

Ye Xuan was slightly startled, not expecting to encounter this woman here.

The beautiful woman appearing before him was none other than Qin Lan, the beauty from last night.

“Ye Xuan, is it really you?

What are you doing here?” Qin Lan approached him, her pretty face showing surprise.

She stood before Ye Xuan, a bright smile playing on her lips, like a rose blooming through the dark night.

The night breeze tossed her dark hair, making her seem like a sprite from the night, stirring one’s heart!

Since Ye Xuan had left without saying goodbye, Qin Lan had felt a lingering emptiness, an emotion she had never experienced before, and even she couldn’t discern why.

“What are you doing here?” Ye Xuan asked.

“I’m a teacher at East Sea University.

Isn’t it normal for me to be here?” Qin Lan explained.

“You’re a university teacher?”

Looking at Qin Lan before him, Ye Xuan expressed his astonishment; seeing the advanced mathematics books in her hand further surprised him.

He hadn’t expected the lady from the bar last night to be a university mathematics teacher!

“Doesn’t look like it, does it?” Qin Lan chuckled, recalling something.

“Ye Xuan, why don’t you let me treat you to a late-night dinner?”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s bewildered look, Qin Lan quickly added, “Don’t get me wrong!

It’s just…

as a way to properly thank you for last night, okay?”

After saying that, Qin Lan looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.

She didn’t know why she was so nervous, but all she hoped was for Ye Xuan to agree.

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes; he had just eaten, and his stomach hadn’t even settled yet, and now more food?

But given her kind offer, it wouldn’t be polite to refuse.

He smiled lightly, “Sure, I can’t turn down a beautiful lady’s invitation.”

“Then let’s go to the food street; there are some restaurants and food stalls there, and the food is quite good!” Qin Lan said with a smile, pleased that Ye Xuan had agreed.

“Sure, wherever you’d like to go is fine with me; I’m all in when it comes to accompanying a beautiful woman!” Ye Xuan laughed.

“Let’s go then.”

Qin Lan’s cheeks blushed slightly, and those black-rimmed glasses added an intellectual charm to her.

Because of last night’s events, Qin Lan felt strange and conflicted around Ye Xuan.

Moreover, she was unusually shy, quite unlike her usual self!

She was quite frustrated by this unusual state.

The two arrived at the food street and chose a street-side dining spot that seemed decent enough.

They ordered a few dishes and were just about to start eating when a surprised voice exclaimed, “Qin Lan!

You’re actually out eating with a pretty boy!”
