Chapter 5: Feelings gradually warm up Section 4
"Who asked you to send me off! Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to eat!" He Wei glared at him and was about to turn around and leave.
The prince immediately chased after him: "I want to eat too, let's go, let's eat together!"
"Who wants to eat with you? Go away, don't follow me!"
The prince had no choice but to grab her wrist and said, "If you don't obey me, I will eat you for dinner. Don't forget, I am a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
After two or three seconds of silence in the corridor, He Wei's sad and desperate sobbing could be heard: "Wuwuwu, I curse you to choke to death while eating later..."
"Ding dong ding dong."
The bell for the end of get out of class rang in the corridor. Aaron packed up his textbooks, stood up, and walked out with vigorous steps. When he was almost at the door, he was suddenly blocked by a little girl.
The other person held a small homemade cake in his hand and tremblingly handed it to him: "Cheng... Cheng classmate, this is a cake I made myself. If you don't mind, please... please have a taste!"
Aaron shook his head slightly. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept your gift, but I appreciate your kindness.”
The little girl bit her lower lip. Although she was a little disappointed, she still refused to give up: "Then...then can we have dinner together?"
Aaron looked at the time on his watch and said apologetically again, "I'm sorry, I have to go to the library to work part-time today. It's a bit late now. I have to hurry up."
Seeing the boy she had been dreaming of slip away from her, the girl finally couldn't help but ask the question hidden in her heart: "You...you rejected me, is it because you already have someone you like? Is it that girl named He Wei?"
Aaron, who had already walked to the door of the classroom, stopped and paused for a few seconds before turning back to look at her. His silver-blue eyes seemed to be a little colder than usual. The girl couldn't help but take a few steps back: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
"Student He and I are just classmates." Aaron explained briefly, then strode out of the classroom, leaving the heartbroken little girl alone in the empty classroom, holding her cake sadly.
But she was not the only one who felt bad. The last question left by the little girl kept lingering in Aaron's mind, so much so that he didn't even notice a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What are you thinking about? You've lost your soul while walking?!" A deep and cold male voice suddenly reached Aaron's ears. He was shocked and stood up straight reflexively, but he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes: "Father? Why... are you here?"
General Cheng Jin, one of the "Twin Heroes of the Empire", stood in front of his son with a serious expression, staring at Aaron with his silver-purple eyes. Although he was middle-aged, his aura was not inferior to his son at all.
Seeing Aaron's panic, his expression suddenly became even colder: "Humph! What did I teach you? Don't let your mind wander while walking, and never let your thoughts show on your face. Have you forgotten everything?!"
Aaron immediately knelt in front of his father and said in a respectful and guilty tone: "I'm sorry, father, I disappoint you, and I will never do it again."
"Can I still believe your promise now?" Cheng Jin was not calmed by his son's sincere apology. Instead, he became even angrier. "Before you enrolled in school, what did you promise me? Tell me yourself!"
Aaron lowered his head: "...I promised to study hard, never get distracted, and never do anything that violates school rules."
"If that's the case, then why did you suddenly change into your original form in public on campus a few days ago? You clearly know that this is strictly prohibited by school rules! Moreover, as the most promising next generation of the Cheng family, I have already told you that you must not change your form unless it is absolutely necessary! Do you know how many foreign enemies are waiting to invade our country? You are the largest pterosaur in our family so far. The weapons produced by the Ice Dragon Kingdom to deal with our pterosaurs are useless to you. But now, you have changed in front of Prince Gu Lei. I am afraid that he is now speeding up to notify the Ice Dragon Empire to manufacture weapons suitable for attacking you!"
Although his father's words were fierce, they made sense. Aaron could only lower his head and said, "I regret my actions, father. I will accept your punishment."
Cheng Jin was not in a hurry to punish him, but suddenly changed the subject: "Have you really thought through the answer to the last question that little girl in the classroom asked you just now?"
Aaron was shocked. What did his father mean... Was he referring to the time when the girl asked him if he liked He Wei?
"Although you told her that you are just classmates, Aaron, do you really think so?" Cheng Jin stared at his son with sharp eyes, "Don't think you can hide it from me. If the girl named He Wei was just an ordinary girl, I might not care so much, but now, she is the one that Prince Zhuo Fei likes! As my son, you will definitely inherit my position in the future, and you must not have any involvement with the girl that the prince likes!"
Although he had already guessed his father's intention, Aaron's heart still sank uncontrollably when he heard him say this: "I understand, father. I will be careful... to keep my distance from her."
Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction: "It is reasonable for you to transform to save her this time, so I will not punish you, but remember not to transform easily in the future. Get up, it's time for dinner, let's go eat."
Aaron looked at his watch and said, "Dad, I have a part-time job to do later..."
"You mean the job of organizing books in the library?" Cheng Jin snorted. "I have already quit it for you, so that you won't meet that girl too often and make the prince unhappy."
Aaron's heart sank again, but he still just lowered his head and responded: "I understand, son, I will follow your orders."
"That's good. Remember, you are the hope of the Cheng family and an indispensable pillar of the future of the entire country. As your father, I will never allow anyone or anything to block your future path."
After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he turned around and strode forward. Aaron looked up at his father's tall back. He knew that his father was doing this for his own good and that he knew his responsibilities, but he still couldn't help but feel...
A little bit sad and lonely.
"Let me go, I want to go to the library!" After finally finishing this torturous dinner with Zhuo Fei, He Wei ran out of the cafeteria, but was quickly grabbed by him. She had no choice but to yell helplessly.
"Why are you running? What are you going to the library for?" Zhuo Fei pulled He Wei over.
He Wei pried his hand that was pinching her wrist and said, "Go get a part-time job! I need to make money to support myself, big brother!"
"What kind of part-time job is this? Look how skinny you are. Your chest is so flat and there is no flesh at all!"
This sentence hit He Wei's sore spot. She glared at him angrily and shook off his hand. "Yes, yes, I have a flat chest. I told you a long time ago that if you like girls with big breasts, you can pursue girls with big breasts! Why are you pestering me?"
Although He Wei usually jokes in the dormitory that she has no breasts and is very flat, but... but these words can only be said by herself! Any girl would be angry if she heard a boy say this about herself, right?! What's more, what's more, Zhuo Fei...
Huh? No, what does this have to do with Zhuo Fei? Anyway... anyway, she didn't like him anyway, why did she start to mind what he said now? He Wei scratched her head, thinking that she had eaten too much at night, so she started to think wildly.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stop her fast pace, and suddenly inexplicably wanted to look back at the stupid prince. In the past, Zhuo Fei would immediately catch up with her at this time, but, but what about this time?
He Wei turned around and found that Zhuo Fei had disappeared.
Humph! She was right! He just likes girls with big breasts! She even stopped and looked back at him!
He Wei came to the library angrily and started working. She had thought that if Aaron came, she could chat with him to calm down, but after waiting for more than half an hour, the silver-haired figure did not appear in the library.
It was strange. Aaron was never late. Even if he couldn't come for some reason, he would definitely tell her...
He Wei couldn't help it and ran to the front desk to ask the aunt, but the answer she got was: "Oh, that handsome guy you are talking about has already quit his part-time job and will never come again. What a pity..."
"What? He resigned?" He Wei was extremely surprised. How could he... just resign without saying a word?
When she thought about having to work alone in the quiet library in the future, with no one to chat with, He Wei suddenly felt a little lost. But at this moment, the aunt suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, although that handsome guy left, there is a new one today. Auntie thinks he is good-looking, too. I just notified him to come to work, and he should be here in a few minutes."
"Newcomer?" He Wei's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells. Could it be Zhuo Fei?
Just as she was getting nervous, the aunt suddenly turned her eyes to the library entrance: "Hey, isn't it coming?"
He Wei immediately turned her head and looked in the direction she was looking, but the person she saw was not Zhuo Fei.
The man had short red hair and pale skin. He seemed to have a slight smile on his face at all times, which made him look vaguely dangerous...
Gu Lei? !
