#48 - Chapter 48 Who is whose prey?
"Hello, is this… Chen student?"
A timid voice came from the phone, with a slight stutter.
"It's me!"
Chen Hao nodded repeatedly: "You are Old… are you Sister Xia's younger sister?"
He corrected himself in time, almost calling her the wrong name…
No!
It was almost blurted out — but not the wrong name.
In his previous life, she was his wife, the person he spent half his life with.
This life.
Will not change!
"My… my sister said that you are a friend's younger brother, and that you don't know much about the school…"
"She asked me to take you to register today…"
Her voice was very soft.
Chen Hao knew that she didn't actually stutter.
Because she was introverted and insecure, she would get nervous and stammer when talking to strangers.
"Okay!"
He jumped out of bed as if flying: "I'll go to school right away! Let's call each other when we arrive, okay?"
He rushed into the bathroom in a few strides.
Wash up!
Go to school quickly!
When he looked in the bathroom mirror, he found that his eyes were red again.
"Wife."
Memories seemed to return to the past.
Insecure.
Because she was always comparing herself to her older sister.
The two sisters were several years apart, and Xia Qingyan was surrounded by glory when she was still young.
How could she compare?
In her previous life, she achieved remarkable things, earning a master's and doctorate degree after graduating from university, publishing papers in authoritative journals, and once shone brightly.
It's just that Chen Hao was even more dazzling.
The couple couldn't both be busy with their careers, right?
For him.
She sacrificed her career.
What she sacrificed for Chen Hao was more than just her career!
Even her life!
"This life, let me protect you!"
Chen Hao's eyes were red: "I don't want you to give up your career and future for me. I will make you… the most dazzling star!"
…
Shanghai Jiaotong University was bustling with people.
Today was the day for new students to register.
As a top-ranked university, anyone who could get into Shanghai Jiaotong University was undoubtedly an elite.
Elites are also human.
And humans have emotions and desires.
Today, the male upperclassmen were particularly attentive, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The junior sisters are coming!
Across from the school gate.
A silver Lexus was parked quietly.
A stunningly beautiful girl was sitting in the driver's seat.
It was Qin Keqing!
She had arrived very early and had been waiting in the car, her beautiful eyes fixed on the opposite side, afraid of missing him.
Yesterday.
That scene deeply shocked her.
Being able to enter Shanghai Jiaotong University was enough to show that she was excellent, but academics were definitely not her love.
She loved music!
With her family background, her parents would never allow her to enter an art school.
Entering Shanghai Jiaotong University to study business administration was her father's imposed wish.
Music was her dream.
Even after joining Han Tang Media, she dared not mention it to her parents.
Yesterday, she learned Chen Hao's identity and also knew that he had enrolled in Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Was it because of admiration?
Or was it love at first sight?
She wasn't sure.
But she was sure of one thing: that sunny boy had instantly opened her heart with a song full of emotion.
Some people can spend a lifetime together without developing feelings.
Some people are destined at first sight!
A mathematical genius?
The chairman of a group with a market value of hundreds of millions?
She didn't care!
The shining point she saw was never reputation, status, or wealth — only because of that song.
"Why isn't he here yet?" she muttered softly.
Suddenly!
Her beautiful eyes narrowed.
So… he was already here?
Not far away, the door of a Mercedes-Benz opened, and Chen Hao, wearing a baseball cap, got out furtively: "Sister Ya, I'm leaving, you go back."
His registration had been going on for a while, and he didn't want to be surrounded.
But he didn't know that even with a baseball cap…
He could fool most people.
But Qin Keqing recognized him at a glance!
Qin Keqing was waiting for him.
He was also waiting for someone.
Having arrived early as well, he had been waiting for Xia Qingmo to appear.
Sure enough, she came!
As Chen Hao walked towards his target, the door of the Lexus also opened.
Qin Keqing got out of the car.
Her target was Chen Hao!
…
Xia Qingmo dragged her suitcase and walked silently towards the school gate.
She was a Shanghai native.
Logically, she could live at home.
However, her older sister strongly persuaded her parents to let her younger sister live on campus.
Her younger sister was too introverted!
Once she lived at home, she would have less contact with her classmates, which would make her even more introverted.
Xia Qingmo didn't want to live on campus at all.
She was unwilling to interact with strangers.
She only felt safe in her familiar home. The outside world… was terrifying!
For example, the last time she was on Commercial Street, she encountered a lunatic.
Fortunately, she quickly detoured around him.
At this time, her phone rang.
"Hello?" Her voice was very soft.
"Student Xia, I've arrived," Chen Hao said with a smile.
But he had to pretend not to know her, otherwise, he would be exposed, right?
Theoretically, the two of them didn't know each other yet.
"I just arrived too…"
"I see you!"
Chen Hao pretended to have just discovered her.
He walked over quickly.
Suddenly!
Xia Qingmo's eyes widened instantly.
That face was a little familiar.
It was him…
That lunatic!
"You… don't come over here!"
Already introverted and timid, her face turned pale when she recognized the lunatic.
In Chen Hao's dumbfounded gaze, she dragged her large suitcase and ran towards the school in terror.
"What's going on?"
Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
Why was she so afraid of him?
The first meeting was completely different from what he had imagined!
He quickly realized: At the first meeting, he stood motionless in the middle of the road, with tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. From Xia Qingmo's point of view… would a normal person do that?
In addition, she was already timid, so she probably thought he was… a lunatic!
Seeing him again.
With her personality, she must have been frightened.
What to do?
Chase her?
She would only be more afraid.
Not chase her?
If he didn't explain clearly, wouldn't her perception of him as a lunatic be completely confirmed? It would be even harder to approach her in the future!
"Old… classmate!"
He almost blurted out the wrong name again.
Chen Hao shouted as he chased: "We met on Commercial Street, right? I have a hereditary disease, and once it flares up…"
One ran.
One chased.
Immediately attracting the attention of many people.
The new students were surprised.
And those upperclassmen…
"Damn! A new student dares to snatch a junior sister from us? He's gone too far!"
"His methods are too old-fashioned, right?"
"That junior sister… I'm not interested!"
When they saw the junior sister, hunched over, running with her head down, and wearing ugly braces, the upperclassmen looked disgusted.
They really couldn't stand to look at her!
"Junior brother."
Just then.
Chen Hao brushed past an upperclassman while chasing Xia Qingmo.
The upperclassman had a strange smile on his face: "Don't worry, no one is competing with you. It's just… junior brother's taste is a bit heavy!"
Chen Hao was furious.
Damn it…
Dare to look down on my wife?
Are you tired of living?
"Hey! What are you doing? Stop!" A security guard rushed over and blocked his way.
"I…"
Chen Hao didn't know how to explain.
He couldn't possibly tell the other party that she was his wife in his previous life and that he was going to win her back in this life.
What to do?
Seeing Xia Qingmo running far away.
She kept looking back from time to time to see if he was catching up.
Great!
The title of lunatic couldn't be removed for the time being.
"Look! It's… Senior Sister Qin!"
"What are you looking at? Is Qin Xiaohua someone you can reach?"
"I know I can't reach her, but even just looking… is pleasing to the eye!"
"If I could go on a date with her, I would be willing to live ten years less!"
"Wash up and go to sleep. When you're asleep, you can have anything in your dreams."
Discussions rose and fell.
Not only the upperclassmen were giving her their attention, but the new students' eyes were also glued to her.
"What is Qin Xiaohua doing here?" Someone suddenly asked doubtfully.
"She…"
The next moment.
The upperclassman who said Chen Hao had heavy taste said in disbelief: "It seems like… she's coming for someone?!"
Qin Keqing walked very quickly.
And completely ignored everyone present, her eyes always locked on Chen Hao!
