Chapter 448: So the Whole Class Had Gotten Him to Comfort Qiao Nian

The point was that he was on good terms with Miss Qiao, the sort of playful and bickering relationship between similar-aged peers. Young Master Jiang had been worried that Miss Qiao would end up with Liang Bowen, and he had even used this to agitate Master Wang.

Gu San had mixed feelings about it. He observed the man’s reaction through the rearview mirror and asked unhappily, “… What’s he doing here in Beijing? Doesn’t he need to attend school?”

Qiao Nian glanced at her cell phone. There was a message from Liang Bowen in which he shared his location with her. She responded to Gu San casually, “It’s Friday, the teacher gave a day off, I think.”

She forwarded the location to Gu San, then looked up. “I’ve sent you the address.”

…

It was extremely crowded at the Beijing airport. It took a while before Liang Bowen managed to get his luggage and head to the lounge. When he got to the road outside, he sent an updated location to Qiao Nian.

The message was just sent out when his cell phone lit up with an incoming call.

Liang Bowen’s lips curled up when he saw the caller ID. He went to a quieter and less crowded area before picking up the call.

“Hello, what are you calling me for?”

The girl on the line was impatient, and she lamented in her clear voice. “Why are you picking up only now! Have you reached? Have you seen Sister Nian?”

Liang Bowen was slightly annoyed upon hearing the anxiety and frustration in her voice. He said bitterly, “You’re only concerned about Sister Nian, you don’t care about my safety.”

“Huh?

“What’s there to worry about a big guy like you, it’s not as if a pretty woman would molest you.”

Liang Bowen raised a brow in amusement. He blinked for a moment and then laughed, despite knowing that she couldn’t see him. “You’d never know.”

“Haha!” Shen Qingqing sneered on the other end and rebutted, “Fat hope!”

With that, she continued asking about Qiao Nian. “So, have you seen Sister Nian or not? How’s she doing?”

Liang Bowen looked up at the road but did not see Qiao Nian yet. He glanced at his watch and replied leisurely, “Not yet. Sister Nian is still on the way, she’s probably almost here. I’ll let you know when I see her.”

Shen Qingqing sounded slightly disappointed. “You haven’t seen Sister Nian yet…”

He sighed helplessly. “Don’t worry so much! Given Sister Nian’s personality, I doubt she’ll be upset at such trivial matters. Perhaps she doesn’t even mind.”

“It’s easy for you to say it. If it were you, would you be able not to mind it at all?”

“Uh…”

Liang Bowen tried to imagine not making it through the Qing University entrance examinations, but even after a while, his mind was blank. He was unable to empathize with her.

His results were just good enough for him to get into a top-tier school. It was impossible for him to understand or relate to Qiao Nian’s disappointment for not making it into Qing University.

It was a pointless attempt!

Shen Qingqing probably understood his character and guessed that he must still be furrowing his brows and thinking hard about it. She said instead, “Forget it, you won’t get it. Think of it in another way. Imagine that you didn’t manage to get into any university, does it feel bad?”

He was able to imagine this. After a short pause, he seemed almost enlightened. “I do feel bad.”

“Exactly. Even you’d feel upset, much less Sister Nian. She excitedly went for the examinations but didn’t manage to get into the university. What’s more, Qiao Chen actually did. Imagine how terrible Sister Nian must feel!”
