Chapter 1843 - Huo Ze and Xia Tang (47)
Chapter 1843: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (47)
The boy in front of her was wearing a white shirt. He had clear eyes, a straight nose bridge, and thin and well-defined lips. He was very handsome and exuded a gentle and elegant aura. He was different from the handsome and devilish Huo Heng. This boy was obviously a good student.
Sunshine, warmth, and brightness.
Xia Cha was not unfamiliar with this boy.
His name was Qi Ran, a senior in Year Three and also the president of the student union.
She heard that he was even the most sought-after boy in school.
Xia Cha had seen him on stage at the opening ceremony.
Qi Ran had a certain amount of authority in school. Once he stepped out, no one dared to say anything.
The leader of the girls lost half of her arrogance.
“The fact that she could enter our school means that she has no problems. Some time ago, there was a post on the discussion forums, and the school has also clarified that it was purely fabricated. Someone wanted to ruin this junior’s reputation. In this month’s exam, she got first place. Her results and ability are obvious to everyone!”
“If anyone dares to make trouble for her again, I will report them to Principal Wu. At that time, you’ll definitely be punished. Don’t blame me for not informing you in advance!”
With Qi Ran’s warning, the girl who wanted to make trouble for Xia Cha quickly left.
Qi Ran turned around to look at Xia Cha who had an egg smashed on her head. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xia Cha with a warm smile. “Wipe yourself!”
“Thanks. I brought my own tissue.”
Xia Cha was in a sorry state at the moment, but her expression was calm. Even her eyes were not red. There was only coldness and determination.
“I’m Qi Ran from Year Three.”
Xia Cha nodded and said, “Senior, thank you for your help just now. I have something to do, so I’ll get going.”
Xia Cha picked up the plate on the ground, cleaned the food from the ground, and left the canteen.
Qi Ran looked at Xia Cha’s thin but firm back and forgot to look away.
…
Xia Xing and Xia Cha were not in the same class or dormitory.
Knowing that Xia Cha had gotten into trouble in the canteen, Xia Xing found her in her dormitory.
“Cha Cha, are you alright?”
Xia Cha shook her head, “Second Sister, I’m fine.”
“Who is still harping on that matter?”
“I saw the girl leading the group wearing a bracelet on her wrist. I saw Xia Furong wearing that bracelet before. This matter might be related to her.”
“Why is Xia Furong so bad? You’re not in the same school as her. Why would she do this to you?”
“Do you think that she’s doing it without the advice of those people at the old mansion? They just can’t stand to see us doing well.” Xia Cha held Xia Xing’s hand. “Second Sister, the more they think about us, the more we have to study hard. We have to be united as a family and be united as one, so that we won’t be defeated by them!”
Xia Xing nodded.
…
Throughout the year, Xia Cha and Xia Xing focused on their studies.
Xia Furong would occasionally ask people to find trouble with Xia Cha, but Xia Cha didn’t take it to heart at all.
In every exam, Xia Cha always ranked first in the cohort. Even in the joint examination of multiple schools, she was among the top.
Her results were good and she was capable. She entered the student union.
This year, she and Qi Ran became closer.
Qi Ran learned that Xia Cha loved to sing. He collected a lot of records for her and even helped her to get tickets for her favorite singer’s concert.
Qi Ran had already taken his college entrance examination. He had come all the way to the school to look for Xia Cha and brought her two of Xia Tang’s albums.
Qi Ran knew that Xia Cha liked Xia Tang’s songs, but Xia Tang’s albums were rare on the market now. Qi Ran spent a lot of effort to get her one.
After Xia Cha accepted the album, she invited Qi Ran to dinner.
The two of them walked out of the campus.
“Junior, do you know about Star King Entertainment?”
Xia Cha nodded. “I know, Star King Entertainment is one of the top entertainment agencies in the country. They have many popular actors and actresses.”
“Junior, I’m actually an orphan. I was only able to go to school because I was sponsored by a kind person.”
Xia Cha looked at Qi Ran in surprise. She didn’t expect him to be an orphan.
“The person who sponsored me is the big boss of Star King Entertainment. Their company is going to hold a singing competition. If you can enter the top three, you can sign with Star King! Junior, I think you are a person who really loves singing. If you can enter a big company, you will definitely be able to release music records and let more people hear your singing!”
Qi Ran took out a card from her bag and said, “Tomorrow at three in the afternoon, you can go to this place. It’s the last day of the preliminaries in Yan City.”
Xia Cha took the card from Qi Ran and bit her lip. “Let me think about it!”
“I didn’t tell you about it because you were having your final exams a few days ago. I was afraid it would affect your grades. Junior, this competition happens to be over your summer vacation. It’s a chance for you. If you have time, go and try. If you miss it tomorrow, I don’t know how long you’ll have to wait.”
Xia Cha opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, her phone rang.
Xia Cha’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the caller ID.
Huo Heng was calling.
Huo Heng had forced Xia Cha to receive a phone from him. At first, she had refused to accept it, but later, he waited at the school gate every day. When she didn’t go to meet him, he had gone to the female dormitory.
He had always been more thick-skinned than her. Xia Cha had no choice but to accept the phone.
After accepting the phone, he would send her a message to say goodnight every day. In order not to disturb her studies, he would only call her during the weekends.
A few days ago, he had sent a message saying that he was going overseas for a short trip. He told her not to rush back home for the holidays. He would take her around Yan City to play for a few days.
He must have returned from his business trip by now!
Xia Cha did not notice that a black car was parked opposite the school gate. The man in the car saw Xia Cha and Qi Ran walking out. Xia Cha looked down at her phone and did not pick up the call for a long time. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
This year, his Little Camellia’s facial features had grown and she looked much prettier.
She was starting to have boys who liked her.
Xia Cha did not pick up the phone for a long time. Huo Heng’s face darkened and he hung up the phone.
Xia Cha had just heaved a sigh of relief when a message came in.
— I’m across from you.
Xia Cha had already reached the school gate. She raised her head and looked across to the school gate.
When she saw that there was indeed a black car parked there, she bit her lower lip.
Although she had tried her best to avoid contact with Huo Heng over the past year, she now understood his personality.
He looked handsome and frivolous on the outside, but deep down, he was domineering and unreasonable.
If she ignored him later and went to eat with Senior, who knew what he would do…
“Senior, I’m afraid I can’t treat you to a meal today. I have something on at home and need to go back.”
Qi Ran nodded in understanding. “It’s okay. I’ll treat you next time when you’re free.”
After saying goodbye to Qi Ran, Xia Cha walked across the road.
The man had already gotten out of the car. He leaned against the car door, half a cigarette in his mouth as he looked at her with narrowed eyes.
