Chapter: 6249

Xiao Chang-kun saw her tidying up and then exited the classroom from the back door, hastily calling out to her from behind: "Mei-qing!"

Han Mei-qing turned around, looking at Xiao Chang-kun with a smile and asked: "What's wrong, Chang-kun?"

Xiao Chang-kun hesitated for a moment, somehow awkwardly opening his mouth and saying: "Well, I was wondering if you're free tonight. I'd like to take you out for dinner."

As he spoke, he quickly came up with the old trick from the playbook of "36 Strategies" and said: "How about we go to that big eatery near our school beforehand? You forget, we used to go there all the time back in the day. Even though it's not the same restaurant anymore, the area still has a strong nostalgic flavor."

If Han Mei-qing still had feelings for Xiao Chang-kun, his old tricks would certainly have a strong impact on her emotions. But at this point, Han Mei-qing had already decided to move forward, so Xiao Chang-kun's words didn't have any emotional resonance with her. She smiled apologetically and said: "Sorry, Chang-kun. Old He is waiting for me downstairs. We still have some business to take care of. How about we do it another time? Another time, I'll treat you."

Xiao Chang-kun didn't expect his old tricks to be so ineffective.

Originally, he planned to use his old tricks to get Han Mei-qing to go out with him and then use the momentum to take her on a trip down memory lane. It would be like going back in time and reliving the past.

After all, rekindling an old flame is best achieved through nostalgia and revisiting old haunts.

That's the same principle as not spoiling soup or food - once it's ruined, there's no way to make it right again.

But he didn't expect Han Mei-qing's expression to remain completely unchanged - no signs of shyness, nervousness, or even a flutter in her heart.

She simply rejected herself like a normal friend, rejecting it straightforwardly and politely.

As soon as he heard that Han Mei-qing was waiting for him, Xiao Chang-kun's heart became even more gloomy, and when he thought about how Han Mei-qing would call him "Old Xiao" in front of him, his heart felt even worse.

So, he could only pull out a strategy from the 36 strategies of cunning, joking to himself, "Well, it seems that Old Xiao is indeed a good man. You're with him now, and not even old classmates have time for you."

Han Mei-qing and Xiao Chang-kun are different - Xiao Chang-kun has millions of thoughts in his mind, but half of them he can't say, 4,999 of them he doesn't want to say, and only one thing he can say is that it's hard to understand.

Perhaps he wasn't like this before, but from the moment he started to feel suffocated by his emotions, he felt like his heart was locked up with a gate, blocking out even more thoughts.

Han Mei-qing is different - she has always been straightforward and fearless, and her Western upbringing has made her even more so. She always says what she thinks and does what she wants, without hiding or covering anything.

So, seeing Xiao Chang-kun seemed to be sulking about his rejection, he said very candidly, "I'm really sorry, Chang-kun. I plan to have my wedding soon with Old Xiao. He asked me to come back home to finalize the guest list, and once we've finalized it, we'll start writing invitations. So today is really not possible; how about tomorrow? Absolutely!"

Xiao Chang-kun's eyes went blank after those five words - his back felt cold, his legs felt soft, his hands felt numb, and even his mouth turned bitter.

Han Mei-qing said something else behind him, but he didn't hear it at all.

He was simply staring at Han Mei-qing with his mouth agape, utterly unable to believe that the woman who had loved him for 30 years would actually get married to someone else!

But Han Mei-qing didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, seeing that time was being wasted a lot, and said to Xiao Chang-kun, "Chang-kun, I really have to go, let's talk again later, goodbye!"

After saying this, she quickly turned around and went downstairs, leaving Xiao Chang-kun standing alone in the original location, utterly despondent.

At that moment, Xiao Chang-kun's brain had already become a complete blank slate, just standing there motionless, without moving.

Just then, a student passed by him, curiously asking, "Vice Secretary Xiao, what are you doing standing here?"

After saying this, he was shocked and said, "Vice Secretary Xiao, you... how did you cry? Are you okay?" JrNovels.com
