170. Chapter 170: Argument 1

After returning home, I had to tidy up and prepare to go to school; actually, Shangguan Yun said he would send me, take me home and then wait a bit to go to school together, which is quite reasonable, but I only blame myself for being timid, afraid Mom would find out, so I firmly refused; Shangguan Yun seemed a little angry, and before leaving he still said: "Does being with me really make you so ashamed to be seen?"

I explained to him for a long time before he finally calmed down, but I don't know if his anger has subsided.

Anyway, before leaving he still had a sour face, but I didn't care much; if Mom found out, I'd be doomed.

I can still tell what's important; fortunately, love hasn't addled my mind.

After returning home, Mom, who hadn't seen me in a few days, obviously had a lot to say; she also asked about Huiqing's situation, how she's been lately, and when she would come to our house to play.

I gave a few casual replies, then went back to my room to pack up, saying I was going to school; Mom had cooked rice and was waiting for me to eat, but I had already promised Shangguan Yun I'd accompany him for dinner tonight, afraid he'd get impatient, so I left in a hurry without eating.

When I rushed to school in a hurry, Shangguan Yun was already waiting at the gate, chatting happily with the guard.

I guess he saw me coming from afar; before I even entered the school gate, he came running over in small steps, thoughtfully lifting the things in my hands. Although dating at school isn't just me, although it's quite common there, and although Shangguan Yun was sensible enough not to take my hand or put his arm around my waist, with so many people watching I still felt a bit embarrassed.

If it were someone else, or even me, I would walk with him quite openly, but Shangguan Yun—perhaps because he's well known at school—makes me hesitant. When I used to be with Li Feng, whenever he came to school to pick me up, I always walked with him openly, sometimes even holding hands; but with Shangguan Yun I dare not do that. I'm afraid of others' gazes.

Shangguan Yun and I walked on campus; he was actually strolling leisurely, while I dared not get too close to him and hurried ahead.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Shangguan Yun asked, puzzled.
