Chapter 5: Confronting the Wealthy Young Master Wan Jin

As the ribbon is untied

Just as Le Xiaolian shook her head vigorously, secretly blaming herself for being unable to let go of that scheming guy, her hand uncontrollably took out her phone and dialed Shi Xun's number

Oh? It is actually a small gift box tied with a pink ribbon? How did it end up in my backpack?

Zhang Xinru sat excitedly on the sofa opposite the television, attentively listening to Xiaoyue sing while tapping her fingers to the rhythm. However, sitting next to her, Le Xiaolian appeared noticeably distracted: her eyes unfocused as she stared at the TV screen, occasionally nervously pulling out her phone from her pocket. It was strange; other than the text message Shixun sent me this afternoon saying "A Lu" would take a day off, he still hadn't called me. It's already 7 o'clock... Could it be that the signal in the private room is poor? He mentioned he had urgent matters to attend to; could something have happened...? Honestly, he should at least let me know, so I wouldn't be so worried...

Beep—beep—beep—beep

Le Xiaolian stared blankly at Jiang Sholiu, her heart clearly wanting to rush over and loudly ask him what had happened... However, she took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and obediently turned off the power to the crystal lamp

What? Jiang Shuo instinctively raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Le Xiaolian's finger

Are you the mouse hiding in the garbage dump? You're almost buried under the trash, yet you can still sit there leisurely watching television? Le Xiaolian felt like she was about to explode with anger

The value of a gift is not related to its weight, but rather to the sentiment behind it

Y? ! '' The unsuspecting Le Xiaolian, who was caught in various speculations, was startled by Shen Xuechi's words, and a blush honestly crept up her cheeks, `` Ah ... ... Is ... ... Is that so ... ... ''

"Little Cola, are you mistaken! You are the one who is A-Lü now!" Jiang Shuo Liu, as if jolted by an electric shock, abruptly threw away the remote control in his hand and loudly complained to Le Xiao Lian's back of the head, "In my entire life, no one has ever asked me to do household chores!"

interconnected

In the face of Le Xiaolian's fury, Shi Xun remained unfazed, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, engrossed in watching television... Shi Xun...! ... No, he should now be referred to as Jiang Shaoliu!

Looking at the densely packed small characters on the card, which resembled ants, Le Xiaolian's mind immediately conjured up the image of Shi Xun grinning and flashing a V sign at her. Her lips began to twitch uncontrollably, and her expression was a mix of crying and laughing. What on earth should I say about this guy? Clearly, he has been teasing me all along, yet he still occupies my thoughts! Her expression was a mix of crying and laughing. What on earth should I say about this guy? Clearly, he has been teasing me all along, yet he still occupies my thoughts! Moreover, having learned today that he shares the same fate as her only made her think of him even more unconsciously.

Bastard! Do you dare to look down on the poor? If so, you will starve to death...

Feiyang burst forth with a sweet smile

Shen Xuechi looked at Le Xiaolian with a blank expression, suddenly raised her phone, and waved it at Le Xiaolian, as if to say: There is something, a call. Upon receiving Shen Xuechi's unique brainwave, Le Xiaolian was initially taken aback in disbelief, but soon broke into a happy and blissful smile

Wow... that cookie looks so delicious..." Le Xiaolian held her bowl of rice, chewing her food while staring at the enticing fish-shaped cookie on the television screen, swallowing her saliva repeatedly

Ah, I, I..." Le Xiaolian's face turned red, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond, her gaze anxiously darting to the ground. Should she tell her senior that she was someone else's maid? No way—never!

Compared to himself, would he not be even lonelier without anyone accompanying him

Suddenly, Le Xiaolian's fingers touched a hard, square object inside her backpack. The unfamiliar sensation startled her, and she quickly pulled it out to take a look.

That joyful feeling

Um... um... " Le Xiaolian nodded anxiously. Is this guy really all-seeing? How does he know everything? " ... " Shen Xuechi turned her head and stared at Le Xiaolian for a few seconds, her face looking as if it had been smeared with several layers of paste, and said flatly without any fluctuation, " I came yesterday. "

Isn't this reason special enough

Hearing Le Xiaolian's response, Shen Xuechi, while chewing on a biscuit, said with a completely indifferent expression, "Shi Xun?"

In the brightly lit living room, Le Xiaolian stood in disbelief among the piles of dirty clothes, soda cans, and banana peels, with her backpack on her back and a plastic bag filled to the brim with dinner ingredients in her hand. She recalled the scene from earlier in the day with seething anger.

Thud

Because ... ... " Jiang Shuo Liu said, slowly raising his head, thoughtfully extending his finger to gently rub his temple, yet his gaze was fixed directly on Le Xiao Lian. His face still bore that usual bright and charming smile, but this time, it was so radiant that it evoked a sense of sadness.

Jiang Shao Liu still maintained his original posture, only shaking his head and muttering, "It's nothing... you are here... that's good..."

Additionally, attached are the menus for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner for the next two days

As she inhaled the enticing aroma wafting from the cookies, a sweet smile involuntarily appeared on Le Xiaolian's face. Just as she was about to put the cookies back into her backpack, a small card suddenly fell out.

Le Xiaolian looked at Shen Xuechi's back, as if she understood something, and gently let out a sigh ... But when she thought of Shi Xun, she couldn't help but raise her head to look at the overcast night sky, her expression turning worried again ...

I couldn't find you even in the classroom, what happened... or are you avoiding me? Han Qiuyue took a step closer, lowering her head to look at her with concern and a hint of unease.

Today ... ... '' Jiang Shuo Liu suddenly released his hand, opened his eyes, and looked seriously at Le Xiaolian, who had turned back to look at him, and gently said, `` Today ... ... is my birthday ... ... ''

In order to congratulate classmates Xiao Lian, Xiao Ru, and Shen Xuechi on their resounding victory over the arrogant Xing Gao, I will now sing a song for everyone, wishing you all a joyful day every day!" Xiao Yue happily announced into the microphone while standing in front of the television in the private room

Well, Xiao Lian, you must be careful on your own!" Zhang Xinru smiled and nodded

"Why is it you again? A girl like you comes back to the dormitory so late every day; I really don't know how your mother raised you..." Seeing Le Xiaolian slip through the iron gate at the last moment, Aunt Wang shot her a glance and muttered in a tone that was both disapproving and reminiscent of a chant, "If you come back to the dormitory this late again tomorrow, I won't be so patient anymore... Today's children really are..."

Bang

"You big fool! Let go of me!" Le Xiaolian, both shy and angry, struggled desperately in Jiang Shuo's embrace like a loach caught alive. "Don't think that just because you got hurt, you can pretend to be pitiful and take advantage of girls! You dead pervert! I want to go back! The girls' dormitory closes at 10 o'clock!"

"But today I don't want to stay home alone!" Jiang Shuo Liu recklessly increased his strength, tightly holding onto Le Xiao Lian, enduring the rain-like punches she was delivering while pressing his head firmly against her back, closing his eyes and speaking loudly! "Why today? Unless you give me a special reason?!" Le Xiao Lian asked loudly, feeling frustrated!

"Waiting for a call?" Shen Xuechi, who had originally been sitting silently beside Le Xiaolian, seemed as if she had eyes on her temples, not glancing at Le Xiaolian even once, yet she accurately uttered these three words

Ah... I... I... '' When I think of the clear and gentle gaze on a cold autumn night, Le Xiaolian's heart feels as if it is entangled in a chaotic web of countless threads, and her face flushes with warmth

Ah... is it a cookie?! When she saw the six fish-shaped cookies neatly arranged in a box lined with luxurious white satin, Le Xiaolian couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, as a scene from a few days ago suddenly flashed in her mind

But at this moment, his embrace was so warm, his arms tightly yet gently wrapped around Le Xiaolian's body, as if he would never let go...

"It is only when you are in pain that you remember! You won't fight anymore in the future!" Le Xiaolian said as she casually replaced a cotton swab, then shot a fierce glare at the frowning Jiang Sholiu. "And why are all your wounds on your face? It looks really bad! The only decent thing about you is this face; I can't find any other merits! Can't you cherish your only advantage properly?"

"A-Lü, have you forgotten your responsibilities? Hurry back to cook, and stop wasting time here with irrelevant people..." Shi Xun said, increasing the force in her hand without further ado, and took her away, even giving a slight smirk to Chao Qiuye as they left... Chao Qiuye stood alone in place, silently gazing at Shi Xun, her expression clouded with unprecedented gloom... Chao Qiuye stood alone in place, silently gazing at Shi Xun, her expression clouded with unprecedented gloom...

A wave of intense sorrow permeated the entire room, much like the air outside, soaked by the rain, heavy and oppressive

You, unexpectedly, got beaten into a pig's head by someone else! Since you can't win, why do you still want to learn to fight like them? Is it that boys are so brainless? Always ready to throw a punch at the slightest provocation!

Breakfast: fish fillet congee, toast bread

... ...

I have no mother. I have no father. I am an orphan

Wow! Little Cola! What kind of theory do you have there...

Bang!

Beep beep beep beep beep—beep beep beep beep beep—

I will not let go. I do not want to let go, nor will I let go

Le Xiaolian and Shen Xuechi walked out of the KTV side by side. Looking ahead at the cheerful figures of Zhang Xinru and Xiao Yue, Le Xiaolian rubbed her aching ears and recalled Shen Xuechi's words to her, feeling as if she were a blade of grass drenched by rain, listlessly drooping her head and exhaling a long breath. However, she never expected that Shen Xuechi, who usually was as cold as ice, would transform into a super karaoke champion in the KTV! Moreover, her high notes sounded like the screams of an alien invasion, even making Le Xiaolian, who was known in the orphanage as the "Queen of Toilet Singing" for her unmatched singing prowess, a defeated opponent! The so-called "demonic sound" was even more terrifying than the arrival of the apocalypse! Thinking of this, Le Xiaolian couldn't help but shudder and turned to glance at Shen Xuechi, who was still humming with delight beside her, causing a drop of cold sweat the size of a bean to slide down the back of her head.

What are you laughing at?" Le Xiaolian puffed her cheeks, glaring at Jiang Sholiu's face, which was laughing while twitching in pain, "Hmph! Is this what they call a good deed met with bad reward?"

Phew...! I managed to rush back to the dormitory at the last moment; otherwise, I would have been in big trouble! Speaking of which, it's all that idiot Shi Xun's fault! After finishing dinner, he could have just sat quietly, but he suddenly had the whim to help me wash the dishes, and as a result, he got foam from the dish soap all over the kitchen! I had to clean the kitchen after washing the dishes...! However...

Ah! The thunder has split a tree in half!

"Wait!" Just as Le Xiaolian was turning to leave, a loud shout suddenly came from behind her, calling out to Jiang Shuliu.

"Do not turn on the lights..." As the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the living room suddenly emitted a blinding brilliance, a voice that seemed to be wounded by the sharp rays of light suddenly echoed from the corner!

Hmm! I understand! Upon seeing Le Xiaolian's radiant smile, two small blushes quietly appeared on Shen Xuechi's cheeks. Without saying a word, she quickly turned her head and hurriedly walked alone towards the bus station.

Hmph! Is there anything funny? Jiang Sholiu suddenly erupted into an inexplicable fit of laughter, causing Le Xiaolian's face to flush red. She glared at Jiang Sholiu, who was laughing uncontrollably, feeling both shy and angry. "What a despicable guy! If I had a son as foolish as you, I would have long since used a broom to smack his backside! Hey, where is your mother? Where has she gone? Has she really educated you properly, this son of hers?"

Le Xiaolian's words were like a powerful atomic bomb, instantly stunning Jiang Sholiu! He widened his eyes as he looked at Le Xiaolian, his gaze filled with surprise and a hint of excitement!

Hahaha! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Jiang Shuo Liu desperately waved his hand at Le Xiao Lian, yet he could not stop laughing! "Hmph! Forget it!" Le Xiao Lian pouted and stood up angrily, taking a deep breath, "You can laugh to your heart's content here by yourself! I'm leaving!"

Upon hearing this sound, a heavy stone in Le Xiaolian's heart rose high to her throat. Could something really have happened? The usually persistent Shi Xun, who would come to her house every day to cook and clean, had unexpectedly taken a day off today, which was highly unusual! It was all her fault; why hadn't she thought more about it at the time? Perhaps this guy was deliberately trying to keep her away!

Le Xiaolian bent down in confusion to pick up the card and opened it to take a look

Hmm! Speaking of fighting, I saw in a book last time that one of the human body's greatest weaknesses is the temple, so..." Le Xiaolian's expression suddenly became serious. She flexed one arm like a strongman and fixed her gaze on Jiang Shuliu, "Next time you find yourself at a disadvantage in a fight, just slap the opponent hard on the temple and then quickly escape! You must remember this move!" Silence... Silence... "Next time you find yourself at a disadvantage in a fight, just slap the opponent hard on the temple and then quickly escape! You must remember this move!" Silence... Silence...

"Huff, huff, huff, huff! Thank you... thank you very much!" Le Xiaolian wiped the sweat that was dripping from her forehead with an apologetic expression, then turned around and quickly walked towards the dormitory building

What does it matter?!" Le Xiaolian glared at Jiang Shuo Liu with her round eyes, hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Moreover, I am going to make dinner now! If you don't want to go hungry today, get off the sofa immediately and tidy up the living room for me!

Jiang Shaoliu lowered his head, stroking his chin and talking to himself, when suddenly a bright red, hard object flew towards him like a missile, striking him squarely on the head

The phone quickly received a response, but it was a series of long and monotonous busy signals

Soaked to the skin, Le Xiaolian wiped the rainwater from her face, her eyes widening in surprise as she cautiously peered around the room. "Huh? The door isn't closed? Shi Xun... are you home?" Sensing an unusual silence in the room, Le Xiaolian tentatively called out softly, and when there was no response, she reached out her hand to feel along the wall beside her in search of the light switch.

Xiaoxue seems very happy... By venting like this, the previous gloom has completely dissipated

The moment of receiving a gift that is most cherished

Le Xiaolian was taken aback, turning her gaze towards the direction of the sound. When she clearly saw that familiar face, it left her somewhat at a loss. Jiang Shuli was curled up like an injured cat in the narrow gap between the floor-to-ceiling window and the sofa, his head deeply buried in the arms that wrapped around his legs, obscuring the radiant smile that usually lit up his face, as well as the mischievous grin that often lingered at the corners of his mouth. All that was visible was his once flamboyant and handsome chestnut short hair, now in disarray and hanging down. Outside the window, the rain soaked his clothes, yet he seemed to feel nothing. He appeared to have transformed into a gray statue, his body trembling incessantly.

"Hehe, how could I not recognize you? Because I am A-Lv!" Upon hearing Jiang Shuo Liu's words, Le Xiao Lian couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. She smiled and quickly stood up to leave, "I will go get the medicine box to help you apply the medicine, you sit on the sofa." However, Jiang Shuo Liu remained motionless on the cold floor, his hands tightly wrapped around his knees, and the cold, stiff expression on his face gradually softened like ice melting under the spring breeze. She smiled and quickly stood up to leave, "I will go get the medicine box to help you apply the medicine, you sit on the sofa." However, Jiang Shuo Liu remained motionless on the cold floor, his hands tightly wrapped around his knees, and the cold, stiff expression on his face gradually softened like ice melting under the spring breeze.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

Kara!

The rain gradually weakened, and fine strands of rain fell gently to the ground, as if weaving a translucent veil between heaven and earth. However, it did not in the slightest obscure the bustling atmosphere of the busy streets filled with vehicles.

Ugh... you barbaric woman, be gentler! It hurts!

Honestly... I originally intended to mess up the room to make this incredibly efficient person stay a little longer, but I didn't expect her to see through it. This girl is smarter than I imagined...

The girls' dormitory at Deya High School consists of double rooms, but so far, no new roommate has been assigned to Room 305, so I am living alone. Every night when I return to the dormitory and see the dark, lifeless room behind the window, I always feel a hint of subtle loneliness. ... Compared to the liveliness and joy of the welfare home, it is truly a far cry from that ...

Ding ding dong dong—ding ding dong dong

"Then lift your head..." Le Xiaolian's fingers felt the softness of his hair, and suddenly a strange feeling arose in her heart. Is it pity? But facing Shi Xun, who was always laughing and joking, the one who had her spinning in circles, how could that be possible? Jiang Shuliu's body trembled and then stopped, as if he were pondering something, but in the end, he shook his head, burying his head even deeper! Le Xiaolian helplessly straightened her body a little, looking up and down at the peculiar Jiang Shuliu, and suddenly a mischievous light flashed in her eyes. She pointed at the floor-to-ceiling window and let out a thunderous shout!

Under the dim night sky, Room 2101 of Building 12 in Xiaomeihua Garden is shrouded in darkness, with only a faint glimmer of the streetlight's dull glow seeping through the gap in the curtains of the living room's floor-to-ceiling window

Moreover, I cannot help but remind you... Living a life of laziness like a silkworm while bearing the title of 'young master', is such a life truly interesting? Don't you have any awareness of being 'Shi Xun'? First and foremost, you are yourself, and only then are you the precious son of your parents, the wealthy family's golden young master!

"Xiao Kele, are you mistaken! This young master has grown up and has never been asked to do household chores!"

Le Xiaolian's heart skipped a beat! The surrounding air seemed to blend with the pleasant fragrance emanating from Jiang Sholiu, making her head spin and almost unable to breathe! When she regained her senses and realized how ambiguous their actions were, her face turned as red as if splashed with red ink! "Ah! Idiot! What are you doing? Hurry up and let me go!"

She confusedly pulled the ribbon off the paper box, then gently lifted the lid

On a chilly autumn night, he still smiled gently at her and asked with some confusion, "Xiao Lian, why have I not seen you lately? Are you very busy?"

In the dim light from outside, Le Xiaolian slowly approached Jiang Shuliu, crouched down, and gently placed her hands on his trembling shoulders, asking, "What happened?"

"My dear A-Lü—" At that moment, a large arm casually wrapped around her neck, and Le Xiaolian turned her head to face a big smiling face.

On the afternoon of the second day after school, in accordance with the agreement made after the "Autumn Cultural Festival on Campus," Le Xiaolian and her "comrades"—Shen Xuechi, Zhang Xinru, and her classmate Xiaoyue—arrived at a karaoke hall named "Singing Maniac," not far from the Star Alliance, to celebrate their great victory at the "Autumn Cultural Festival on Campus"

Wow! Jiang Shuo tightly covered his head, which was hurt from being hit, with his left hand, while his right hand picked up the "red missile" that had fallen on the sofa. He complained to Le Xiaolian in frustration, "Little Cola! It hurts! Are you trying to murder your master?!"

Quickly, Le Xiaolian crouched down again in front of Jiang Shuli, holding a small white first aid kit. She reached out to turn on the floor lamp beside the sofa, then gently opened the medicine box, took out a cotton swab dipped in medicine, assessed the injuries on Jiang Shuli's face, and while gently wiping the wound, she chattered incessantly.

Young Master Shi! Everything has its first time!" As Le Xiaolian turned to walk towards the kitchen, she stood tall with unwavering confidence, turned her head, and pointed down at Jiang Shouli with a serious and undeniable tone, saying, "Since I am now A-Lv, in addition to taking care of your daily life, satisfying your perverse desire to play tricks on others, I will also take responsibility for cleaning out the 'young master mentality' that fills your mind!

Cleaning ... ... Young Master ... ... thinking? '' Upon hearing Le Xiaolian's words, Jiang Sholiu was momentarily taken aback, as if he had been struck by a sudden realization, repeatedly echoing these few strange phrases.

Time! Time Xun?!

"Little Cola, your temper is so bad that you're going to develop unsightly wrinkles!" Jiang Shuo Liu tilted his head back and took a sip of cola, flashing a brilliant smile at Le Xiao Lian, "You must not have many opportunities to visit the boys' rooms, right? This is what a real man is like! This is the essence of manhood! Hehe!"

Suddenly, the laughter came to an abrupt halt, and the smile on Jiang Shuo Liu's face faded like paint washed away by water. He lowered his head, one hand helplessly scratching his soft, dark brown short hair. Although his voice carried a hint of laughter, it distinctly conveyed a sense of coldness, "Hehe, Little Cola, regarding this matter, I might have to disappoint you..."

In the girls' dormitory reception area of Deya High School, the hands of the wall clock resemble those of an elderly person in the twilight of life, moving forward slowly and hesitantly. As the hands approach 10:00, Aunt Wang, the dormitory administrator, reaches out her hand towards the silver iron gate in front of the dormitory, preparing to close and lock it. "Ah, ah, ah—wait! Aunt Wang! Wait for me!" Just as the two large iron gates are about to make contact, a panicked shout suddenly approaches from afar! Aunt Wang furrows her brow in annoyance and looks up, only to see a girl with two braids, tightly clutching her backpack, rushing over as if riding the wind and fire wheels, stumbling and dashing forward!

That sentence, like a muffled thunder, once again exploded in Le Xiaolian's mind. Although she did not know how many times she had chewed over this phrase, Le Xiaolian still felt shocked at this moment, as if a large stone was blocking her heart, making her feel suffocated.

Seeing the extremely serious expression on Le Xiaolian's face, Jiang Shuliu was momentarily stunned in place. However, just a few seconds later, he burst into a fit of laughter, holding his stomach.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Shuo Liu lowered his eyelids, silently gazing at the ground, his calm eyes shimmering slightly like a lake surface stirred by the wind, "As long as you can recognize me, that's all that matters..."

However, speaking of which... it is already 9 PM, and that troublesome fellow's phone has been turned off the entire time... Could something have happened?

The torrential rain fell without distinction, like a heavy curtain descending all at once. The raindrops splashed against the face, so swiftly that it left one gasping for breath ... Various oddly shaped branches stretched out in all directions, as if attempting to tear the entire sky into fragmented pieces ...

... ...

"Oh, you are really something!" Hearing Jiang Shuo Liu's words, Le Xiaolian shook her head in annoyance and gave him a big eye roll, "Young Master Shi, I think it's clear that you were the one who got beaten up! I can guarantee that if you walk out like this, no one will recognize you!"

At that time, I was just speaking casually, and I never expected that Xun, who seemed to take nothing to heart, would actually remember that matter... Could it be that my appearance, drooling with desire that day, was so obvious? Alas! How embarrassing!

Gift

Hello! Little Cola! In light of your recent faithful fulfillment of your duties as "A Green," this box of cookies is a reward from me to you! Be sure to cherish it! Seeing the cookies is like seeing me!

A series of question marks exploded in Le Xiaolian's mind like firecrackers.

Indeed! Le Xiaolian stood proudly like the Eiffel Tower, declaring, "To me, you are not a 'young master'! The reason I hustle every day is that you once helped me, and I must fulfill my promise! Therefore, even if I am 'A Green', I will not serve you in the manner of a maid obeying her young master. Le Xiaolian has her own methods and attitudes in dealing with matters! Do not get this wrong!" At this point, Le Xiaolian glanced at Jiang Sholiu, who was surrounded by a pile of disheveled magazines and colorful food wrappers on the sofa, and helplessly closed her eyes in frustration.

Suddenly, the front door of the living room was gently pushed open

Cold autumn night

Oh? Intentionally? Absolutely not! You are overthinking it! I did not expect Le Xiaolian to be so perceptive. Jiang Shuo stiffly curled the corners of his mouth and gave an awkward smile

... ...

Ha... ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha! In a short while, a smile appeared at Jiang Shuo Liu's lips and quickly spread across his face. "Little Cola, where is your apron? Once you put on the apron, you become a typical nagging aunt! Ha ha ha!"

What kind of person is he, after all

Disappointment? Why?" Jiang Shuo Liu's sudden change in attitude left Le Xiao Lian slightly taken aback

but often with the most unforgettable people

But what about Shi Xun

Hahaha! Hahaha! Little Cola, I didn't expect you to have such expertise in fighting and fleeing! Hahaha!

Le Xiaolian grinned mischievously, seizing the opportunity to spread her arms wide, forcefully pinching Jiang Sholiu's head from both sides like a hamburger, regardless of the consequences, she pulled him forward with a twist

... ...

On a chilly autumn evening, Le Xiaolian, who was just about to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients after school, unexpectedly ran into Han Qiuyue, whom she had not seen for a long time, at the school gate

Ha! This is what you call catching a turtle in a jar! How dare you pretend to be pitiful here! Let's see where you can hide! However, when she clearly saw the handsome face of Jiang Sholiu covered in bruises, she was momentarily petrified, standing still in place, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

The more Le Xiaolian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, as a bad premonition loomed over her like dark clouds thickening above her head. Finally, she hung up the phone and looked apologetically at Shen Xuechi, Zhang Xinru, and Xiaoyue, who had been waiting beside her.

I apologize, but I have some urgent matters to attend to. You may return to school first

I have no mother. I have no father. I am an orphan

Bang

"Hey, don't let your drool fall on my carpet! The new variety launched by Gine Dessert House really tastes quite good!" Hearing Le Xiaolian's excited exclamations, Jiang Shuo Liu casually turned his head to glance at the television screen, "However, the price is not something that someone like you, who is poor, can afford!"

"Man's true nature"? ! Go die... Le Xiaolian gritted her teeth, trembling with anger like a boiler about to explode, "Every afternoon after school, I spend several hours helping you tidy up the room, but it turns back to the same mess the next day... Shi Xun... Could it be that your wicked mind thinks I am not struggling enough and deliberately makes the room this messy? !" Could it be that your wicked mind thinks I am not struggling enough and deliberately makes the room this messy? !

Shen Xuechi's gaze was indifferent yet seemed to see through everything: "You need an answer"

Did Shi Xun come to find me?

"Little Cola... don't... don't go..." Jiang Shuo Liu tightly embraced Le Xiao Lian from behind, gently whispering in her ear. A warm breath brushed against her earlobe, causing her entire ear to feel like a thermometer soaring in temperature, almost burning up!

Although it was my first time visiting the Xun family and I noticed that he was the only one living there, I found it somewhat strange; at that time, I merely thought that his parents were not at home! Because usually, his smile always appeared so bright and carefree, like a super wealthy young master trapped in a honey jar... Who could have imagined...

Sigh... No wonder Senior Su Youhui said that before drawing any conclusions, one must repeatedly verify through sufficient data and examples... In this regard, I really am lacking a bit of experience... In an instant, Le Xiaolian seemed to lose her strength, listlessly ascending the escalator while sighing in frustration. When she reached the door of her dormitory, she reached into her backpack to retrieve her keys.

"What happened to your face? Why did you get into a fight with someone?" Jiang Shuo turned his head to the side in a huff. After a moment, he murmured, "I was in a bad mood, and someone happened to annoy me, so I just beat them up to feel better..."

Creaking sound

The rain is getting heavier and heavier

Instantly, the entire room was once again engulfed in a vast darkness

What?! How could this place have changed like this?! Has there been a world war?! On an autumn night, the moonlight resembles a hazy silver veil woven from mist, quiet yet clear, while the stars adorn the blue silk-like sky, making it exceptionally magnificent and brilliant! However, in the upscale residential area of Xiaomeihua Garden, one of the top neighborhoods in Xinghua City, a terrified scream erupted like a thunderclap from Room 2101 of Building 12, nearly shaking the stars from the sky!

Before she could comprehend what was happening, she felt her arm being tightly grasped by a hand, and her body involuntarily took several steps back. Then, following a powerful force, she leaned back and fell heavily into Jiang Sholiu's embrace
