The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 244: My Youth (3)

"I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for earlier, Xiao Ye." Li Xingyan said the moment their class ended.

Han Yehan only decided to help her since he found it interesting. He only responded with a 'hn' before he grabbed his bag and left the room.

As Lu Xingyan was left there, one of the girls who approached her earlier went to her again.

"Hello." She said with a sweet smile.

The girl is short and her hair is tied into twin buns, "My name is An Qi."

Lu Xingyan ended up blinking a few times, not expecting that she will be approached after class. "Hello..."

"Can I call you Xiao Xing?" The girl asked with a grin.

Lu Xingyan couldn't be read through her but the girl looked so sweet and kind so she responded, "Sure."

"Great! You can call me Xiao Qiqi." She giggled happily. "Xiao Xing, do you want to go home together with us?" An Qi turned to the two girls who were waiting by the door. "That short hair girl is named Dai Meng and the other one is named Guo Yanni."

When she turned her head to the two girls, the girls were smiling at her.

What are they up to? Lu Xingyan couldn't help but think, her trust issues getting ahead of her.

"Xiao Xing~" Lu Weichun called as she arrived. She entered using the room's other door. "Let's go-" She paused upon seeing An Qi.

"Xiao Qiqi, meet my sister, Lu Weichun." Lu Xingyan introduced. She was actually relieved to see that her sister came on time. "Jiejie, meet An Qi, my classmate."

"Oh! Nice to meet you!" Lu Weichun greeted with a grin.

"I saw you earlier, nice to meet you too!" An Qi happily greeted. "I was inviting Xiao Xing to go home together, you can join us."

"Sure, we're only living nearby anyway."

Lu Xingyan quietly stood up and carried her bag, She allowed her sister to do all the talking.

"We're living in a dormitory." Dai Meng said with a smile as the trio approached them.

An Qi chuckled, "Yep. Xiao Meng, Xiao Yanni, and I are all roommates." She pointed at her friends when she mentioned their names.

"That's actually cool. My sister and I are living in Apartment B." Lu Weichun grinned.

While Dai Meng and An Qi were conversing with the elder twin, Lu Xingyan quietly followed behind them.

Guo Yanni was quiet as well as she walked beside the younger twin.

"Um... Xiao Xing, right?" She shyly asked as if confirming it.

Lu Xingyan nodded, giving her a small smile, "Yes."

"It's nice to meet you..."

"You too."

And once again they became quiet since they were not the talkative type.

Lu Xingyan ended up giving a soft chuckle since she found it funny that she ended up walking together with a quiet classmate.

She has long noticed that Guo Yanni was the quiet and shy type since earlier. Lu Xingyan may not look like it, but she was actually looking around the classroom, quietly watching her classmates.

Whenever Guo Yanni was called by the teacher to read out a part of the book, she would always stutter and blush while Dai Meng who was sitting beside her quietly cheered her.

Maybe they were not bad students after all? She thought.

Upon reaching the school gate, they all saw a tall, handsome man, leaning against the gate, waiting for someone.

"Ah! Jingli-ge!" Lu Weichun rushed to him with a wide smile on her lips.

An Qi blinked a few times as she saw how Lu Weichun hugged the guy.

"Is he her boyfriend?" Dai Meng couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah..." Lu Xingyan replied. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes when she saw how intimate the couple was.

As the group of girls approached the couple, Lu Weichun turned to them and smile apologetically, "I'm sorry, it looks like I won't be able to walk home with you." She turned her gaze to her sister, "We'll be passing by somewhere."

"You mean date." An Qi corrected. "Well, go on, go on, hope you enjoy your date. Let's walk home together some other time."

Fan Jingli smiled, "Thank you for taking care of my Chun'er."

Lu Xingyan wanted to roll her eyes when she heard the word 'My'.

"Be back before 8." She told her elder sister.

"I will. Bye everyone~"

With that, the couple left the girls.

Instead of walking the other way, Lu Xingyan stood her ground and watched her sister leave with her boyfriend.

"Let's go, Xiao Xing?" Dai Meng smiled.

"I'm sorry, I won't be able to walk home with you. " Lu Xingyan said with a small smile as she turned to the girls.

A small gasp was heard from An Qi, "Don't tell me that you're actually planning to follow your sister?"

It was already obvious because of the way Lu Xingyan looked when the couple left.

Dai Meng snickered, "Sounds fun, can we come?"

"Oh!" An Qi clapped her hand, "Should we wear some disguise?"

Lu Xingyan looked at them. She barely knows them and they only got along a few minutes ago. She wasn't used to how close they were acting to her.

"Don't get us wrong, we really want to be your friends." An Qi said, noticing the look Lu Xingyan was giving.

"You shouldn't lie." Being the careful person she is, she couldn't help but doubt them.

Guo Yanni turned to her companions, "S-see? W-we should just... tell her the truth."

Dai Meng chuckled, "Well, part of it is because of Han Yehan. We also wanted to get close to him."

"We don't have any bad intentions, really." An Qi sighed, giving up her act. "Yes, we may have approached you because of Han Yehan but it's also because we wanted to be friends with you too. You can actually put it like we're one of Han Yehan's fangirls. We're not some kind of toxic fangirls, we're actually the kind of friendly fangirls." She explained.

"We don't have any proof to make you believe us but why don't you just give us a chance?" Dai Meng suggested.
