Chapter 126 Cannon Fodder Campus White Moonlight 8
A group of people walked towards the basketball court, laughing and joking. As they crossed the school path, someone suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Han Yuchen, I... I have something to tell you. Can we talk alone?"
Qi Ning stood in front of them and said these words in a very soft voice.
The group looked at each other, and then burst into a commotion.
"Wow, 'talk to each other alone'? Is there something you can't say in front of everyone?"
"That's right, that's right, just say what you have to say here."
……
Han Yuchen looked at Qi Ning, not understanding what she meant.
Then Qi Ning asked again, "Han Yuchen, is he okay?"
Han Yuchen then turned around and said to the others, "You guys go to the basketball court and wait for me. I'll be right there."
"Brother Chen, we can wait here."
"Yes, is there anything we can't hear?"
Han Yuchen's expression turned serious: "Can't you understand human language?"
Seeing Han Yuchen's expression change, the others dared not joke anymore and all left at once.
Seeing that no one was around, Han Yuchen said impatiently, "Hurry up, get to the point, I'm busy."
Qi Ning opened her bag, took out a coat, and handed it to Han Yuchen.
"I've washed this coat, here you go."
Han Yuchen's coats are all top-tier designer brands; most people can't afford them.
"That's it?"
Han Yuchen has plenty of clothes, so why would he care about this one?
Seeing Qi Ning extend his hand, he reluctantly took it.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."
"Wait, there's more."
Han Yuchen waited patiently, casually tossing the jacket over his shoulder.
Qi Ning then spoke up: "Regarding what happened yesterday, I still want to sincerely thank you once again. And I hope you won't tell anyone about this and will keep it a secret for me, okay?"
Han Yuchen hadn't originally planned to tell anyone about the fact that a girl was almost bullied by thugs, but after Qi Ning said that, he had a feeling that he would definitely tell someone.
Then he was a little unhappy.
He snorted coldly: "If you want me to keep quiet, then tell me, what price are you willing to pay?"
"what?"
"What do you mean, 'huh'? You just verbally asked me to keep it a secret, but you haven't shown any real commitment. Why should I keep it a secret for you?"
"I……"
"And what about your repeated expressions of gratitude? Are you just saying it for nothing?"
Qi Ning looked embarrassed and explained, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Han Yuchen pressed again.
Qi Ning had no choice but to say, "Then, to thank you for saving me, and to thank you for keeping my secret, you can make any requests or needs you have. If I can do it, I will do my best."
Han Yuchen was only somewhat satisfied after hearing Qi Ning's words.
"That's pretty much it."
He smiled knowingly: "Alright, you can go now. As for what your request is, I'll think about it and then I'll tell you."
"it is good."
Qi Ning responded and quickly left.
Han Yuchen also turned around and walked towards the basketball court.
Pei Mo was retrieving documents in the administration building when he happened to witness the scene from the corridor.
He was too far away to hear what Qi Ning and Han Yuchen were saying, but he saw Qi Ning stop Han Yuchen, hand him clothes, and the two talked for a while.
A hint of doubt flickered in Pei Mo's eyes.
It seems she didn't listen to a word he said to Qi Ning that day.
"Pei Mo, please sign this document."
The homeroom teacher came out and called him.
"Okay," he replied, lowering his eyes.
Forget it.
What business is it of his?
Pei Mo put the matter aside.
When Han Yuchen arrived at the basketball court with his coat, the people there weren't playing basketball at all; instead, they were chatting amongst themselves.
"What are you talking about?"
Han Yuchen suddenly spoke up, startling the group, who immediately scattered.
"Brother Chen, you're back! Did you finish chatting with Qi Ning?"
Another person noticed the jacket on his shoulder: "Wait a minute, Brother Chen, isn't that the jacket you wore during our race yesterday? How did it suddenly appear?"
Strictly speaking, that jacket was a motorcycle jacket, which Han Yuchen wouldn't usually wear to school.
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Hey, Brother Chen, did Qi Ning just give it to you? How did your coat end up in her hands?"
Han Yuchen was surprised that this could be guessed, so he casually threw the jacket into the trash can next to him.
"It's just a tattered piece of clothing."
Everyone glanced at the jacket on the trash can.
"Brother Chen, why are you so angry? What exactly did Qi Ning say to you?"
"Yeah, she's usually as timid as a mouse, why would she want to chat with you alone?"
They were extremely interested in this matter and kept surrounding Han Yuchen, asking him questions, even stopping their basketball games.
"Brother Chen, is there something going on between you and Qi Ning that you can't tell us?" someone said in an ambiguous tone.
Han Yuchen kicked him: "Get out! Get out!"
However, he then thought, why should he keep Qi Ning's secret?
He had already saved her yesterday, so how could she have the nerve to ask him to keep it a secret?
Seeing how curious they were, Han Yuchen sat down on the steps around the basketball court.
"Really want to know?"
"Of course I do."
A person who is usually bullied by Han Yuchen and never says a word or dares to fight back, only knowing how to avoid him, suddenly has the courage to come and talk to Han Yuchen alone. What's the difference between this and a mouse actively seeking out a cat to chat? Who wouldn't be curious?
The group sat down around Han Yuchen.
"Brother Chen, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me."
Han Yuchen, having piqued everyone's interest, slowly began to speak.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. She ran into a thug in an alley yesterday and was almost bullied. I happened to show up and saved her."
Although Han Yuchen's words were vague, they contained a great deal of information.
How could a boy of that age not understand?
"Bullying? What kind of bullying could it be...?"
Han Yuchen hummed in agreement.
Upon hearing this, they immediately became excited.
"So, when Brother Chen disappeared last night, he was out rescuing a damsel in distress?"
"Get lost! What kind of hero saves the damsel in distress!"
Even if Han Yuchen doesn't admit it, isn't this a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress?
"So she contacted you just now because of this?"
"What did she say?"
"Well..."
Han Yuchen chuckled with a hint of interest: "Of course they've come to thank me."
"Oh--"
The group started jeering again.
"How did she thank you? Did she just say thank you verbally?"
"A verbal thank you is not enough. She said I should make a request, and that she would do her best to do whatever she could."
Han Yuchen then looked at them and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
