Chapter 1449: You Are My Little Love Song (16)
She looked up awkwardly and saw Qin Siting standing expressionlessly under the bookshelf. His expression was still indifferent. “Can you let go?”
Shi Niange took a look. Her hand was still pressed against Qin Siting’s arm. It was clear how strong she was when she suddenly pounced over and pressed him down on the bookshelf.
She quickly withdrew her hand and took a big step back. “I saw that the ladder almost hit you, so…”
Qin Siting did not speak, nor did he explain that he could avoid the ladder faster than her. He took the five books in his hand and left.
Under the gaze of the librarians, Shi Niange could only lower her brows and follow him out. Behind her, the aunties whispered to each other, “But this pair is quite beautiful. The boy is handsome, and the girl is beautiful. However, couples of this age won’t have the opportunity to be together when they grow up. What a pity…”
Shi Niange pretended not to hear them and jogged to catch up with Qin Siting. He was tall and had long legs. If she wanted to catch up to him, she would have to start running.
Just as she was about to return to class for self-study, the form teacher, Teacher Zhao, happened to walk out of the office. When he saw Shi Niange walking back with Qin Siting, his gaze was clearly surprised.
When Qin Siting saw the teacher, he did not say anything. Shi Niange was afraid that the teacher would misunderstand and quickly said, “Teacher, the books you asked me to look for, Student Qin accompanied me to the library to look for them. It’s these books!”
What surprised Teacher Zhao was that not only did Qin Siting come back with her, he seemed to have accompanied her to the library.
Since when did this brat know how to help others?
He had never seen such a scene in three years.
“It’s good that you found it. It’s self-study time now. Come with me to the office to continue your tutoring.”
“Okay.”
Shi Niange responded and quickly took the book from Qin Siting’s hands. At the same time, she smiled at him to express her gratitude. However, Qin Siting acted as though he did not see anything and returned to the classroom indifferently, as though nothing had happened.
Shi Niange did not dare to look at him anymore. She turned around and carried her books to the teacher.
When she was being tutored at the teacher’s place, she had been wondering if she should treat Qin Siting to a meal since he had helped her look for books. However, it seemed like the reason he had come to help her look for books was because she said that he owed her a favor. He was trying to make things clear. Even if she said she wanted to treat him to a meal, he probably wouldn’t go.
Just like that, she spent her self-study time with the teacher wondering if she should ask him out or not. Finally, the teacher released her and allowed her to return to the classroom. She ran back with several books in her arms, only to see that her seat was already empty.
Zhao Xiaoqing waved at her. Shi Niange walked over, put down the book, and looked at the seat next to her. Qin Siting’s shoulder bag was not there either.
“Nian Nian, come back to yourself. Don’t look anymore, Almighty Qin has already left.”
“He left early? Didn’t he just finish his self-study?”
“I don’t know. He must have something on in the afternoon. It should have been more than an hour ago. He left after answering a call.” Zhao Xiaoqing recalled and said, “But Almighty Qin doesn’t usually skip classes unless there’s a school’s public competition or event. He must have something this afternoon.”
An hour ago, he had accompanied her back from the library.
She recalled that he didn’t look too good in that car in the afternoon. Did something really happen?
Now that he was no longer in school, what was the point of thinking so much? The Qin family had a large business and she did not need to worry about it. In short, she really could not afford this meal.
Zhao Xiaoqing asked her to go to the street near the school to buy clothes tonight. Shi Niange was living alone now, so she agreed.
The two of them walked out of the school gate and were about to turn right when a black Cadillac stopped in front of them.
Zhao Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, but Shi Niange stopped in her tracks when the car stopped in front of her. She raised her eyes and saw the smiling face in the car when the car window rolled down.
“Nian Nian, I’m your Uncle Tang. I haven’t seen you in a long time since the Spring Festival. Coincidentally, we came to see that brat Tang Shao on the way here today. I wanted to see you at the same time. After all, your parents aren’t in the country right now and there aren’t any adults taking care of you. If there’s anything, you have to let me know.”
Shi Niange’s expression did not change, but her lips curved into a polite smile that did not reach her eyes. “Hello, Uncle Tang.”
“Hey, good girl, have you had dinner? When Tang Shao comes out later, Uncle will treat the two of you to dinner?”
“There’s no need. I have an appointment with my classmates.” Zhao Xiaoqing was still holding her hand and walking with her. Shi Niange turned to look at her. “We still have to go shopping, right?”
Zhao Xiaoqing didn’t understand what was going on, but she could tell from Shi Niange’s gaze that she didn’t want to go with this Uncle Tang. She immediately said, “Yes, didn’t you say that the clothes I bought are not suitable for me and you still want to help me choose? I have make-up lessons in a few days. If we don’t today, I won’t have time to go.”
Shi Niange turned to look at Tang Shao’s father in the car. “Uncle Tang, I’m really sorry. Next time, when my parents come back from abroad, if they ask me to eat with them, I’ll definitely be there.”
Tang Shao’s father also smiled. “Is that so? It’s fine. You guys have to eat first, right? Tang Shao is about to come out. Why don’t I treat you guys, including your little classmate, to a meal? You can go shopping after eating, or I’ll send you guys…”
“There’s really no need, Uncle Tang. At our age, it’s more important for us to focus on our studies.”
Tang Shao’s father was an old man in his forties or fifties. He was also a board member of a large company. He did not expect that he would be blocked by a young lady who was seventeen years old.
But after all, the Tang family and the Shi family were still working together. He had always been afraid that something would go wrong. Sure enough, that brat Tang Shao was still unable to pin down this big missy. They just became a couple, yet they suddenly separated.
“Are we still leaving?” Zhao Xiaoqing asked anxiously.
“Let’s go. We’ll leave now.” Shi Niange smiled politely at the man in the car. “Uncle, we’ll leave first.”
Without waiting for Tang Shao’s father to say anything, she pulled Zhao Xiaoqing into the side street on the right side of the school.
