Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 889 - 424: No Regrets in Life

Upon landing in Jingzhou, to prevent fan congestion at the airport, Shen You’an and Rong Xianning chose to use the VIP passage.

A gentle and elegant young man stood at the entrance of the passage, welcoming their return.

At a glance, Shen You’an spotted Liu Runxi.

Although he was indifferent and low-key, his appearance was so outstanding that even standing quietly there, he was as eye-catching as a magazine cover, and even the staff couldn’t help but glance in his direction.

Rong Xianning subtly frowned.

On the plane, Shen You’an had already told him that a friend would pick him up after he landed, and that they wanted to meet him. Of course, if he didn’t like this way of meeting, he could refuse and the agency would arrange for a car to pick him up.

There was no way Rong Xianning would refuse; An’an actively introducing a friend to him was good news, proving that An’an was taking the initiative to integrate him into her circle of friends, a sign of a closer relationship.

But the moment he saw Liu Runxi, that trace of secret excitement in his heart vanished.

He immediately bristled, becoming alert, even though he himself hadn’t realized that his gaze was as if facing a great enemy.

Shen You’an raised her hand in greeting.

Liu Runxi stepped forward, taking Shen You’an’s suitcase, a gesture silently indicating their close relationship.

Rong Xianning’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Liu Runxi looked at Rong Xianning warmly, "Hello, I’m Liu Runxi, a classmate and friend of An’an. It’s nice to meet you."

The young man extended his hand to him.

Rong Xianning arched his lips, lightly touched his hand with his own.

"Rong Xianning, I’ve heard so much about you."

Liu Runxi looked at Shen You’an in surprise, "You know me?"

Rong Xianning revealed a perfectly distanced smile: "I watched the mathematics challenge, you did very well."

During the competition, Shen You’an shone brightly, overshadowing Liu Runxi. A genius scholar like Shen You’an was truly rare, and yet Liu Runxi was no ordinary scholar.

In fact, after Shen You’an became popular, more fans looked up the videos of her participating in the mathematics challenge. No matter how brightly Shen You’an shone, it was hard not to notice Liu Runxi standing beside her.

If Shen You’an was the bright red flower, then Liu Runxi was the green leaf that set off the red flower.

The red flower has its beauty, and the green leaf its distinct freshness and pride.

This low-key and indifferent young man also had his own admirers.

These temporarily restrained brilliances will one day converge into a crown above the young man’s head.

Rong Xianning shamefully realized that at this moment of seeing Liu Runxi, a trace of secret jealousy arose within him.

He hoped that one day, he’d also stand openly by her side, witnessing the honors that belonged to them.

Despite the complex emotions in his heart, none of it showed on his face.

Just like every modest and eager-to-learn junior: "From now on, we’re schoolmates. I hope to learn a lot from you, senior."

Liu Runxi raised his eyebrows, "Welcome, junior."

Seeing the back-and-forth between the two, Shen You’an found it quite amusing, with the tension in the air.

Two little kids, pretending to be adults.

Shen You’an yawned, "I’m hungry, let’s eat first."

Liu Runxi naturally walked in the middle of the two, gently saying to the girl beside him, "I’ve reserved a restaurant. Let’s go there directly."

Rong Xianning ground his teeth, his gaze ominously shadowy. But when Liu Runxi looked over to ask what he liked to eat, the young man’s face had already returned to an appropriately distant smile.

"I’m not picky, anything is fine."

The seamlessness of his change of expression left Xiao Hu dumbfounded.

This boy is wronged in being an idol; he should be an actor.

Liu Runxi was considerate. With their current statuses, they couldn’t just show up at an ordinary restaurant, so he booked a private room in a high-end restaurant with excellent privacy.

Liu Runxi handed the menu to Shen You’an, gesturing for her to order.

Holding her phone while messaging someone, Shen You’an, without lifting her head, said, "Like before, you order."

Liu Runxi didn’t decline any longer, ordered a few dishes, and then handed the menu to Rong Xianning.

Rong Xianning noticed the marked dishes and remembered them quietly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He discovered that their relationship was closer than he had imagined.

This made him a bit unhappy, so he randomly ordered two dishes.

While waiting for the food, Liu Runxi slowly chatted with Shen You’an about topics related to physics and mathematics, leaving Rong Xianning unable to join in.

This gave him a sense of frustration. He suddenly realized that although he and Shen You’an were friends, already part of her life, he still knew nothing about her preferences and likes.
