Chapter 2168: He Was the One Chasing Her
“Looks like you did well. Have you thought of where you want to go?”
“I did. Didn’t I tell you? I want to go to Z University.”
“Z University?” Qiao Chen pretended not to know anything.
“Mm, Z University. Their music department is the best in the country, so I want to go there. What about you, have you thought about where you want to go?”
Qiao Chen hesitated and lied. “I’m still thinking about it.”
“Mm, filling in the form is a huge matter in life. You have to consider it carefully. But with your results, you should be going overseas.”
Qiao Chen was about to say something when Shen Xin added, “It’s my sister’s birthday in a few days. I’ll be back in Yuncheng City for a few days. Yuqi and the rest said that we can have a gathering when I’m back. We’ll be going our separate ways in the future, and we might not meet again.
“Will you be attending the gathering?”
Qiao Chen was stunned.
He knew about it. He was also invited.
But he hadn’t decided if he wanted to go.
Hearing that Shen Xin wanted to return to Yuncheng City, he couldn’t help but smile. “Mm, I’ll go. When are you coming back to Yuncheng City? Are you going to attend the gathering?”
“It’s my sister’s birthday the day after tomorrow. I’ll be back then. I’ll also be going to the gathering.”
“I see.” Qiao Chen’s voice was calm, but the smile on his lips deepened.
“Mm.” Shen Xin waited for a while before saying, “Qiao Chen, then… we’ll meet at the gathering?”
Qiao Chen couldn’t bear to hang up.
But he couldn’t find any reason not to.
Thinking that Shen Xin would return to Yuncheng City in a few days and they would meet at the gathering, he said, “Alright, see you then.”
“Then… I’m hanging up?”
“…Alright.”
“Oh, right.” Just as he was about to hang up, Shen Xin suddenly said, “Qiao Chen, we have a very good snack here. I’ll bring you some? Do you want it?”
“Snack?”
“Mm, it’s a type of pastry that doesn’t exist in Yuncheng City. It’s not very expensive. I want to bring some for the others. If you want it, I’ll bring one for you. If you’re not interested…”
“Alright, thank you.” Qiao Chen immediately said.
“You’re welcome. I’m hanging up, then?”
“Alright.”
This time, Shen Xin really hung up.
Qiao Chen felt a little empty inside when he heard the disconnected tone.
But thinking that Shen Xin would be back in Yuncheng City in three days, he felt happier.
He realized something ridiculous.
Shen Xin used to be the one chasing him.
Now, everything was the opposite.
He was the one chasing her.
He hid the fact that he was going to Z University because he was afraid that she would change her mind and go to another school.
Back then, she said that she would never bother him again and would really let him go.
She almost did it.
They hadn’t contacted each other since she left Yuncheng City.
But when she stopped chasing him, Qiao Chen didn’t feel relaxed at all.
He was flustered and afraid.
He was afraid that he would really lose her.
In the future, he wouldn’t be able to find another girl like her.
…
Qiao Mianmian’s two songs only took a day to get first and second places on the music charts.
A lot of people were stunned by her voice. They asked who the singer was on the official Weibo page every day, but the official account was as steady as Mount Tai.
No matter how anxious the netizens were, they refused to let anyone in.
