Chapter 143: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
**Chapter 143: Is This One of Your Methods?**
And this person, Jiang Chenchen recognized. It was Zhao Han. The person discussed the most in school today appeared here? Jiang Chenchen looked at him. He was wearing the school uniform, looking no different from when she had seen him before. It seemed like the academic rankings today didn't affect him much. He pushed open the door and walked straight toward her. Seeing this, Wu Bi hurriedly said to him, "I'm sorry, but the store is not open to the public today." "Hmm?" Jiang Chenchen turned her gaze. Wu Bi: "..." Sometimes, students would mistakenly enter the shop, but he usually discouraged them, claiming the shop wasn't open. However, this student clearly knew Miss Jiang, and despite hearing Wu Bi's words, he continued to approach, walking directly to Jiang Chenchen. His deep eyes looked firmly at her through the gap in his semi-long bangs. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" Jiang Chenchen looked at him. "What do you want to say?" "Come over here." He pointed to a corner table in the hall. Jiang Chenchen said, "But I haven't had lunch yet." "..." The more ordinary and expressionless Jiang Chenchen appeared, the more Zhao Han's eyes changed imperceptibly. He lowered his gaze. "About Xia Changli." Jiang Chenchen had also wanted to contact Xia Changli but couldn't reach her. Hearing him, she walked with him to the corner table. Wu Bi called out, "Aren't you going to eat first? It won't taste good when it gets cold." "Wait for me; I'll be right there to eat." The two sat down, and with the broad-leaved plants blocking their view, Wu Bi could only see half of Jiang Chenchen's profile. Why did that guy mention Xia Changli? But the voices in the corner were too low to hear. Jiang Chenchen looked at the person opposite her. Although she knew he seemed to have intentionally followed her several times, she hadn't seen any inappropriate behavior. So, she didn't pay much attention to it. But sitting face to face like this was a first. "What do you want to say?" she asked. "What happened to Li Li?" Zhao Han, as he sat down, leaned in slightly. His gloomy eyes stared at her, and he coldly said, "Please tell her that everything today is as she wishes." Jiang Chenchen didn't quite understand. "What does this have to do with Li Li?" Zhao Han's mouth curved into a mocking smile. "I haven't seen her for several days. She doesn't answer my calls. Please tell her, tonight, at the entrance of Jiang Park, I will wait for her to come and see me." "I can't contact her either. She didn't answer my calls." "She's at Qingjiang University. You can find her there." Zhao Han's gaze swept over her face, and he quickly stood up. He pulled out a banknote from his wallet and said, "I'll treat you to lunch today. Consider it my thanks in advance." He placed the money on the table. Jiang Chenchen also stood up. "I don't need you to treat me, but I want to ask you, why did you kiss her that day?" This question made Zhao Han's lowered eyes change slightly. He sneered, "Don't you understand what it's like to like someone?" He raised his head, locking his gaze firmly on her. "Aren't you experienced in emotions?" Jiang Chenchen looked into his eyes, ignoring his somewhat mocking words. A strange illusion floated in her mind. "Who are you? Why do I feel like I've seen you before? Have I met you before?" Zhao Han observed every change in her expression, but there wasn't much. He snorted, "Is that so? Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Han." Jiang Chenchen felt no familiarity with the name, but his eyes seemed somewhat familiar. She even had the urge to reach out and lift his side-swept bangs to confirm, but he stopped her with a raised hand. "Is this one of your methods?" she asked. "What method? I just wanted to confirm," he replied. "Confirm what? Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" Jiang Chenchen found him rather inexplicable. "I don't understand what you're talking about. Why would I feel guilty towards you?" The more indifferent she appeared, the more Zhao Han felt a sense of gloominess inside. "What you've done in the past is something you know best. Today's conversation ends here. I hope you can pass on my words to Xia Changli. If not, I'll probably be waiting for her at Jiang Park entrance." He glanced at the tall figure approaching with a tray, his sharp, scrutinizing gaze didn't resemble that of an ordinary small shop owner. Although the shop wasn't open to the public, it operated exclusively for Jiang Chenchen. He sneered inwardly, leaving the money on the table and walked away through the glass door. Wu Bi didn't have a good impression of this person. Though he was just a high school student, his profound thoughts made him far from ordinary. "Is he your classmate?" Wu Bi asked. Putting the tray down, Wu Bi placed the food in front of Jiang Chenchen. The aroma wafted through the air. "He's not in the same class," Jiang Chenchen replied. "What... did he say about Teacher Xia?" "Hmm?" Jiang Chenchen looked up when she took her chopsticks. Wu Bi quickly averted his gaze and coughed awkwardly. "That... never mind, take your time eating." "Lili is his tutor. That day..." Wu Bi was puzzled. "What happened that day?" Jiang Chenchen shook her head. "Nothing." It wasn't necessary to bring up such matters, especially when it concerned Xia Changli. She had seemed quite distressed that day. Wu Bi saw she didn't want to talk about it. Still, sensing something was wrong, he said earnestly, "If you encounter any trouble, feel free to tell me. Although Mr. Sheng isn't here, I can still help." "I'm fine. Thank you." Jiang Chenchen lowered her head to eat. The dishes made today were different from before. She tasted each one and said to the person still standing beside her but with a wandering mind, "Not bad, Xiao Wu. You're one step closer to the chef now." Wu Bi: Hehe... Not at all! After finishing her meal, Jiang Chenchen called Xia Changli again, but there was still no answer. However, she quickly received a text message. "Chen Chen, I can't answer the phone right now. I'll contact you after school in the afternoon." Jiang Chenchen considered and sent a reply. "Lili, I'll come find you after school." There was no further reply. She silently stared at her phone. Soon after, she picked it up, and the note with money was still on the table. She reached out to take it, feeling obliged to return it. As for the things Zhao Han mentioned, she couldn't recall. Why did she feel like she had seen him before? Her memory was excellent, and she usually remembered everyone she had met. If she didn't recognize him, why would he say such inexplicable things? She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dwell on it. She took a book from the shelf and some test papers, and when it was time for the next class, she returned to school. However, many people blocked her outside the school gate. All of them were students from Qingli High School—both boys and girls. They cornered her in a corner outside the school wall.
