Chapter 84: Little Woman

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, Chu Qing woke up from a dream. His mind was in a mess.

Too many things happened yesterday. Last night, not only did he drink a lot with Zhuo Buqun and his group, but he also spent most of the night with Chen Huahua. When he fell asleep, the sun was getting brighter. He was exhausted.

“Quick, get up and wash up. Otherwise, you’ll be late.” Chen Huahua’s urging voice sounded in his ear.

Chu Qing, with his eyes closed, was taken aback. As he reached out to his side, he realized that it was empty, and only then did he fully awaken. When he opened his eyes, he was startled to see Huahua standing before him, dressed in casual attire.

Did the sun rise from the west today? I can’t believe she woke up so early. Wasn’t she sleepy? And look at this clean and tidy room. If I remember correctly, it was a complete mess when she went to sleep last night. Could it be that she had cleaned up all of this?

Chu Qing found it hard to accept. However, Huahua kept urging him by his ear, so he could only wash up.

After he washed up, he realized that she had already prepared breakfast. Milk, sandwiches.. But he felt that something was wrong.

“Huahua, you..” Before Chu Qing could ask the question, Huahua stuffed his mouth with a sandwich.

This taste..

In order not to let Huahua down, Chu Qing forcefully ate it and forced it down with milk. Then, he said that he was full.

Huahua was seated across the dining table, meticulously counting bread crumbs. Eventually, unable to bear Chu Qing’s gaze any longer, she leaned back and exclaimed, “Alright, it’s pretty gross. I’ll just order takeout next time.”

Chu Qing smiled. It was getting late. Today was Monday, and he still had to go to school. Huahua sent Chu Qing to the door. The latter turned around and asked, “Why arc you so good to me?”

Huahua blushed and lowered her head. She was indeed doing this for Chu Qing.

“I don’t want you to be snatched away by another woman.”

A strange feeling arose in Chu Qing’s heart. He hugged Huahua and kissed her. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t like for me. I’ll be unhappy.”

As a man, it was fine for him as long as his woman loved him.

Chu Qing had departed quite some time ago, yet Chen Huahua remained in the exact same position as when he had kissed her. She was overwhelmed with emotions, causing her thoughts to become jumbled. She no longer resembled a typical ‘woman’ but rather appeared like a cherished ‘man’, displaying vulnerability and deep affection.

She was probably the first woman whose mind had been changed by Chu Qing. After Chu Qing left, Chen Huahua went back to sleep. She woke up early and was already exhausted.

After Chu Qing arrived at school, he wasn’t in the mood to study. He only felt that his eyelids were very heavy. However, with Song Chaoran sitting beside him, he couldn’t sleep peacefully even if he wanted to.historical

“Hey, Chu Qing, do you know? Zhuo Buqun from the class next door has shaved his head. It’s simply too scary. Everyone thinks he’s crazy..”

Chu Qing leaned against the table and covered his ears. He didn’t want to hear it.

After a while, Song Chaoran’s voice sounded again: “Oh, I heard that you shaved Zhuo Buqun’s head. Why? Everyone is talking about it now, you..”

Chu Qing clenched his fingers tightly, digging them into the table’s surface. Throughout the day at school, he couldn’t escape the constant stream of rumors and gossip surrounding Zhuo Buqun. It greatly irritated him. Suddenly, a thought struck him—could this Zhuo Buqun be his arch-nemesis?

Despite being in a volatile state, Chu Qing fought to keep himself composed and prevent any further escalation. He knew that if this continued, he would truly lose control and explode in anger. Thankfully, he managed to endure the morning reading and proceeded to his classes. Finally, the incessant chatter from Song Chaoran’s loquacious nature came to a close.

Chu Qing found solace on the table and fell into a deep and peaceful sleep. However, as soon as the class ended, Song Chaoran’s loud voice would intrude at precisely the wrong moment. Despite the disruptions, Chu Qing continued to sleep through the entire day, exhausted from his previous experiences. It was only when the school day came to a close in the afternoon that he finally started to regain some of his energy.

Carrying his school bag, the young man walked out of the school gate. His heart was filled with worry again. No matter what, he had to go home tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to answer to his parents. However, how was he going to answer to his parents when he returned home?

Just as he was having a headache, his phone rang. It was Tang Ziyan. The call went through and Tang Ziyan’s voice came from the other end. “Chu Qing, where are you?”

“At the school gate—getting ready to go home.” He had only been sleeping the whole day and had not seen Tang Ziyan. No wonder Chu Qing felt that something was wrong.

“Aren’t you coming to the basketball court to train? Today is the first training session of the men’s basketball team. Didn’t you promise me to join the basketball team? Everyone except you is here,” Tang Ziyan complained.

“Training? No one informed me about that.” Chu Qing wasn’t aware.

On the other side of the phone, Tang Ziyan paused. It was completely possible. It was normal for Zhuo Buqun to do such a thing. She had misunderstood Chu Qing. Tang Ziyan was a little embarrassed. Her tone immediately softened. “Hmph, it must be Zhuo Buqun’s doing. I will settle the score with him later. So, are you coming?”

“Yeah, wait for me,” Chu Qing replied.

How could he not go since Tang Ziyan had already informed him? It was a good opportunity to see what Zhuo Buqun was up to. Also, he had mentioned to Tang Ziyan about the medicinal prescription last time. Now that he happened to be short of money, he might be able to earn some extra cash..
