LOVE SO SWEET - Chapter 686 - 686 Run!

686 Run!

The number of students walking along the street decreased once they were farther away from the school.

Fu Chen swept his eyes at his surroundings before he picked up his pace to catch up with Bai Xi Xi. With his long legs, it did not take him too long to arrive by her side.

Bai Xi Xi heard the sound of his footsteps and turned to look at him. She looked at him up and down and spoke, “Were you waiting for me?”

She recalled seeing Fu Chen waiting at the school entrance. Then, when he saw her leaving, Fu Chen finally left the school area.

“Uh…” Fu Chen scratched the tip of his nose. “Since we are going in the same direction, I thought that we should walk together.”

Bai Xi Xi watched the tall man beside her. She tilted her head to one side and spoke, “Then, why did you keep a distance from me earlier?”

Fu Chen paused before he burst into a laugh. This time, he was rubbing a hand against his neck. “Class Monitor, I was worried that I might cause you trouble.”

Her brow rose, as she expected for Fu Chen to further explain his words.

“I was worried that if the girls saw me walking with you, they might cause you trouble,” Fu Chen said. He could still remember the look on Tang Yu and the other girls’ faces when they thought they saw him giving Bai Xi Xi something.

…..

He had no relationship with Tang Yu or any other girls. However, Fu Chen could see that they were interested in him and worried that they would cause trouble for others who were close to him.

Bai Xi Xi smiled. “So, you are aware that you are quite popular in school.”

Fu Chen looked embarrassed by her comment. “Class Monitor, please don’t tease me.”

He did not want the attention, but what can he do about them?

“If you are not comfortable with them, then why didn’t you say a word?”

“It was not as if I have never said a word,” Fu Chen said. “But it did not seem as if they were listening.” He met her gaze and heaved a sigh. “I did not want to be too hard on them. In the end, we are all classmates.”

Actually, Fu Chen was glad that Jian Chi asked me to have a match against him not too long ago. It seemed that the number of people surrounding him had decreased.

It actually saved him from a lot of trouble.

Fu Chen stole a few glances at Bai Xi Xi and spoke, “I hope that they were not causing you trouble when they came to our table.”

“It’s alright. As long as they did not do anything overboard, I don’t mind.”

Fu Chen pursed his lips tightly. Somehow, he was hoping that Bai Xi Xi would mind it a little bit.

The two of them continued to walk along the street in silence. Just then, Bai Xi Xi glanced at the car parked beside the road and noticed something through the side mirror.

Her steps halted for a brief second. Then, Bai Xi Xi began to walk casually again.

However, Fu Chen was quick to notice that there was something strange with Bai Xi Xi just now. He looked at her inquiringly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bai Xi Xi considered whether she should tell Fu Chen that they were being followed.

As they passed another car parked on the side road, Bai Xi Xi took the chance to peek at the person behind them again.

She could not see the person’s face clearly as the person was wearing a hoodie to cover his face. However, judging from the body as well as clothing, Bai Xi Xi guessed that the person was a male.

The person tried to walk cautiously. But the way he moved was too suspicious.

Bai Xi Xi glanced at Fu Chen again and spoke, “Don’t look back, but we are followed.”

“Huh?” Fu Chen was startled for a brief second. His instinct told him to look back, but he still remembered Bai Xi Xi’s reminder not to look back. “Who is it?”

His face darkened, thinking that some guys were following them with bad intentions.

Most of the students in Y City High School were from the rich family. Fu Chen thought that it was not strange for anyone to target the students.

As the thought came to his mind, Fu Chen began to feel that it was fortunate that he decided to wait for Bai Xi Xi and walk together with her. What would happen if she was alone and met those bad people?

“I don’t know. His face was covered.” The frown on Bai Xi Xi’s face deepened. She felt that the man’s walking posture was somewhat familiar. Was it someone they knew?

Bai Xi Xi inhaled a deep breath to calm down. Then, she swept her gaze around her surroundings, examining everything around her.

Fortunately, she had always walked around in the area and was familiar with the road around them.

Bai Xi Xi glanced at Fu Chen. Then, her gaze fell on his long legs.

“What is it?” Fu Chen felt that the way Bai Xi Xi was looking at him was a little strange. His instinct told him that Bai Xi Xi was up to no good.

“Fu Chen.” Bai Xi Xi called his name with a serious look on her face. “Run!”

Before Fu Chen had the chance to reply, Bai Xi Xi grabbed his hands and run. Fu Chen had no other choice but to follow her around.

Luckily, he had good stamina as he always had his exercise. It was not difficult for him to keep up with Bai Xi Xi.

The two of them turned to every junction on the road. Fu Chen understood that she was trying to confuse the person who was following them. However, he did not know where Bai Xi Xi was taking him.

After running around for a while, Bai Xi Xi pulled Fu Chen to a corner. Then, she stuffed him behind the wall and put a finger on his lips. n𝑜𝒱(𝖾𝗅𝑈)𝑠𝗯,𝑪(0(𝔪
