Chapter Thirty-two: The School Beauty

  Before long, a slender beauty walked in, and the men in the store couldn't help but steal glances. The women were sulking, pinching their male companions hard, and those men swallowed their saliva, reluctantly withdrawing their gaze.

  The woman was about 1.7 meters tall, which is considered quite tall for a woman. She had a standard melon-shaped face, with pale skin and delicate features that seemed almost translucent. Her eyebrows were shaped like willows and her eyes sparkled brightly, accentuated by light makeup. A head of raven-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her face. She wore a shoulder-baring strapless dress, cinched at the waist with a narrow floral belt, showcasing her ample bust to perfection. Her gait was elegant, each step a gentle, captivating movement.

  Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but take a few more glances, who wouldn't want to look at a beauty? Moreover, this person gave him a familiar feeling, which made Chu Jiaqiang sink into thought.

  The beautiful woman swept a glance over the entire milk tea shop, finally fixing her gaze on Chu Jiaqiang, a slight smile playing on her lips as she walked towards him.

  At this time, Chu Jiaqiang was deep in thought and didn't notice that the beauty had already arrived by his side, still looking dazed. The beauty smiled slightly, without waiting for Chu Jiaqiang's invitation, she pulled out a stool and sat down in front of him. She admired Chu Jiaqiang with pleasure, finding that the man in front of her was really quite captivating, especially with his current thoughtful expression.

  She stretched out a finger like a white scallion and waved it in front of Chu Jiaqiang's eyes, saying: "Hey! Wake up! What are you spacing out for?"

  Chu Jiaqiang was startled, immediately came to his senses, looked at the beauty in front of him, slightly furrowed his brow and said: "Huh? Who are you? Do we know each other? Sorry, I already have a date today."

  Looking at Chu Jiaqiang's silly appearance, the beauty suddenly burst out laughing: "Hehe! Where is the person you're meeting?" She deliberately wanted to tease Chu Jiaqiang a bit.

  "Maybe we're still halfway there! I don't know, it's weird! How do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?" Chu Jiaqiang asked a question that made all the men present look down on him, thinking that this kind of trick to pick up girls was also rotten.

  The beauty is even more charming when she smiles, her twin peaks in front of her chest are slightly trembling towards Chu Jiaqiang, even Chu Jiaqiang is slightly distracted, secretly thinking he can't take it.

  "Then think carefully and see if you can remember me? We are acquaintances, after all! By the way, what's the name of the person you're meeting?" The beauty teased.

  "Haha! Just felt a bit familiar, forgot. Hmm! The person I'm meeting seems to be called Ye... damn it! Forgot. What's her name again?!" Chu Jiaqiang suddenly felt his scalp tighten, he had actually forgotten the other person's name, and they were supposed to meet up! The other person might get angry and leave just like that.

  The beauty is resentful, her name is not difficult to remember! She used to know this guy before, but he actually forgot.

  "My name is Ye Cai Ping, don't you remember? Don't forget about me just because I haven't made it big yet?" Ye Cai Ping said softly.

  Chu Jiaqiang suddenly widened his eyes, and he immediately remembered the name that his second uncle had entrusted to him. Wasn't it Ye Caiping?

  "Cough, cough! You're Ye Cai Ping! Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! Sorry about earlier, I didn't recognize you at first. Haha, haha, haha!" Chu Jiaqiang was quite embarrassed, the other person had recognized him right away, but he himself had been clueless, blurting out some nonsense and even trying to shoo her away at first.

  The man in the store almost vomited blood. Such a beauty, this kid actually didn't care about it, what's wrong with that!

  "So you recognize me now? Then tell me who I am?" Ye Caiping still refused to give in.

  "Ah! Aren't you Ye Cai Ping? What are you talking about?" Chu Jiaqiang felt strange, why was this woman asking such stupid questions.

  Ye Cai Ping felt like she was about to be blown away by Chu's strong aura, listening to his tone and looking at his expression, she knew that he still hadn't recognized who she really was.

  "In junior high, we were in the same class. In senior high, we were in the same school but different classes, you were in Class 1 and I was in Class 2. I've said it so clearly, can't you remember?" Ye Caiping said irritably.

  Chu's family looked at Ye Cai Ping tightly for half a moment, then sighed and said: "I said why did I think you were so familiar? It turns out that it is our school flower! But what I find strange is that with your beauty, with your capital, with your family background, don't need to mix to the stage of blind date?"

  Everyone in the store was shocked and whispered: What's going on? The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful! Are these university students, intellectuals, coming here for a blind date? What are they doing here? Is this some kind of joke?

  Ye Cai Ping beckoned to the service desk and ordered two glasses of iced lemon milk tea. Then, with a tone that wasn't very pleasant, she said: "Don't just talk about me, you're not much better yourself! The city's top scholar, running back home to farm, and still having to go on blind dates - you're even more pathetic than I am!"

  Chu Jiaqiang heard this and became embarrassed again, but still smiled: "I'm different, I came back to help my hometown make money, you don't understand." He said it in a somewhat mysterious and profound way, as if no one could understand his patriotic behavior. This was quite infuriating, and Ye Caipeng's teeth were itching with hatred.

  "So tell me, why are you also going on a blind date?" Ye Cai Ping asked with a pleased expression, wanting to see Chu Jiaqiang's embarrassed look.

  "That! Alas! It's hard to put into words! All I can say is that I'm not capable enough, and the woman ran off with someone else." Chu Jiaqiang didn't feel embarrassed this time, but only smiled bitterly, and didn't avoid this rather humiliating question.

  Ye Cai Ping was taken aback, she didn't expect Chu Jia Qiang to be so straightforward. The desolation in his eyes made her heart ache slightly, and she wanted to comfort him with a few words, but couldn't bring herself to say them.

  "This is the reason you came back? I remember you used to be very stubborn, did you give up this time? Are you running away?" Ye Caiping asked with a frown.

  She thought Chu Jiaqiang had lost his former enthusiasm and confidence, no longer having the same high morale and spirit as before. In fact, Ye Caiping had liked Chu Jiaqiang for a long time, but couldn't quite put her finger on what she liked about him back then. It wasn't until after they graduated from high school and everyone went their separate ways that she realized she regretted not confessing her feelings to this talented young man.

  This is also the reason why I have never been in love and have not accepted anyone's affection. It is also the reason why I agreed to this blind date, knowing that the object of the blind date is Chu Jiazhai's Chu Jiaqiang.

  Chu Jiaqiang took a sip of milk tea and smiled: "At first, I did have such thoughts, but later it wasn't the case. I found that my hometown really needs me to stay, and I like the simplicity of my hometown very much. I enjoy this unpolluted mountain village. The outside world is indeed beautiful and tempting, occasionally taking a walk may feel fresh, but it's not my life. Those with ambition don't necessarily have to go to the city to achieve their goals, being able to change the poverty here is what really takes skill."

  Everyone present was stunned by his words, and in less than half a minute, many people burst into applause. Ye Caihong came back to her senses, looking at this man whose mental state had become more mature, feeling that he was even more attractive, as if he had an additional air of mystery that made him impenetrable.
