Chapter Seven, that fool

This is a very large bedroom, measuring several dozen square meters. Zhang Xiaoyu felt that it was at least five or six times larger than the house he had lived in before. No wonder Lin Xi came in to take a shower and did not notice the presence of a strange man on the big bed

Moreover, he has more important matters to attend to; he is very hungry and eager to satisfy his hunger

"I don't know for now, but I will definitely find out," Shen Lanjun said, shaking her head. "So Xiao Yu is my lifesaver, you should be... a little more polite to him, alright? Consider it a favor for my aunt."

"Wait a moment..." Lin Xi suddenly fixed an odd gaze on Zhang Xiaoyu, "You just said that your name is Zhang Xiaoyu?"

Yes, Zhang Xiaoyu nodded

Shen Lanjun nodded and said, "Where are you from?"

He sat up and surveyed the completely unfamiliar environment

Zhang Xiaoyu first caught a whiff of a faint fragrance, reminiscent of orchids and musk, not very strong, but subtle and refreshing to the senses

Shen Lanjun looked at Zhang Xiaoyu with a concerned expression and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, are you still hungry? I will have the servant prepare some more food for you..."

Yes

"Rice bucket." Lin Xi had long been conquered by Zhang Xiaoyu's gluttonous eating posture and said disdainfully

By the way, what did you do before?

Compared to that overgrown bridge tunnel, this place is simply another world

"Little Fish was injured while saving me. Where should I send him now?" Shen Lanjun urged earnestly, "Moreover, he offended those behind the scenes who want to harm me in order to save me. If I push him away now, wouldn't that just fulfill the intentions of those villains? This is not how we repay our savior's kindness"

Let him stay for now. Once I find the murderer who wants to kidnap me and bring the mastermind to justice, we will look for another place for him, alright

It is alright, you can stay at my house for now, just treat this place as your own home

"How could I not know you?" Lin Xi's smile took on a playful quality, "Who in the world does not recognize you? Aunt, you may not know this, but Zhang Xiaoyu was quite famous in our school before, even more so than Principal Wang Ligong."

"Lin Xi." Shen Lanjun glared at Lin Xi.

That little beggar saved you, just give him some money to send him on his way. Do we really have to continue letting him stay in our house? That would be so inconvenient

"May good people enjoy peace throughout their lives," Zhang Xiaoyu silently prayed in her heart

"Are you really a student of Qingyun?" Shen Lanjun asked.

You ... ...

Aunt, I always feel that letting him move in is like inviting a wolf into the house

A few years ago, my parents disappeared, and our house was also taken away, so I am now homeless

Shen Lanjun smiled and asked Zhang Xiaoyu, "Are you called Zhang Xiaoyu?"

In the past, Zhang Xiaoyu had a considerable appetite, but he had never eaten as much as he does now. Ever since the wolf's head stone entered his body, Zhang Xiaoyu has felt that his appetite has been increasing. Especially every time the green light flickers and the wolf's head appears clearly, the energy consumption accelerates even more.

"Yes," Shen Lanjun nodded and said, "After we went shopping together yesterday, didn't I mention that I had an appointment to attend? On the way back, I was being followed and then kidnapped. Fortunately, I ran into Zhang Xiaoyu; otherwise..."

Upon waking from a deep slumber, I found myself in this room filled with a faint, delicate fragrance

Shen Lanjun appeared to be somewhat apprehensive and softly said, "The consequences are unimaginable"

"Student?" Shen Lanjun asked with a smile, "You are of a similar age to Lin Xi, and you should indeed be studying at school. Which school did you attend before?"

Thank you, Miss Shen. Zhang Xiaoyu readily agreed

Indeed

He alone consumed more than half of the three servings of breakfast prepared by the servant, while Shen Lanjun and Lin Xi had only eaten a little over half of the congee in their bowls, and had not even tasted the steamed buns and fried dough sticks

No, boy

The morning sunlight sneaked in through the gaps in the curtains, playfully brightening the room, making the indoor light not so dim.

"Hey, why are you eating my food?" Lin Xi said angrily

Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head, completely unable to recall what had happened last night

"Hmph, I am full now," Lin Xi said angrily, slapping the chopsticks down.

Is he a fraud? Lin Xi sneered repeatedly, "Do all sorts of people think they can rise to prominence?"

... ...

"Did you not say you were full?" He licked the edge of the bowl and said, "We cannot waste it"

In her eyes, this is akin to a little beggar entering the Grand View Garden

However, Qingyun Middle School is a prestigious school well-known in Jiangcheng, so how did Zhang Xiaoyu manage to get in

"Aunt, let me tell you..." Lin Xi said excitedly, holding Shen Lanjun's hand and starting to speak.

Are you... that fool?" Lin Xi had a look of shock on his face

Zhang Xiaoyu could only manage a bitter smile, not expecting that after so many years, she was still remembered by someone

Lin Xi still harbored resentment over the events of the morning, puffing her cheeks as she drank her porridge, unwilling to speak to Zhang Xiaoyu

People of Jiangcheng

"What?" Lin Xi's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment as she said, "Auntie has been kidnapped? And she was rescued by this little beggar?"

However ... ...

Hmph, he must have the face to stay here first.

Student

He only remembers being driven by a force, actively lunging towards the bullet that was shot out, and he has no memory of what happened afterward

Zhang Xiaoyu drank five bowls of thin porridge in one go, ate a large plate of steamed buns and six deep-fried dough sticks, and only then did he feel his body was somewhat more substantial

"This is outrageous, truly outrageous." Lin Xi jumped up from the sofa, "Who did this? If I find out, I will definitely not let him off easily"

Three years ago, I was indeed a student at Qingyun School. However, I fear that Qingyun has probably already expelled me from the school registry

Then how is it that you... live under the bridge? Do you not have any family?

Shen Lanjun must have brought herself back

Jiangcheng? Are you a local?

Yes. Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I remember when we first met, I introduced myself."

"Auntie..." Lin Xijiao said with a hint of annoyance

Is it true or not? Shen Lanjun does not believe it

Parents disappeared? Do you not know where they went?

Lin Xi was astonished; she was originally a student of Qingyun Middle School and was well aware of how difficult it was to gain admission to that school. Was this little beggar not joking?

Shen Lanjun was surprised, as Qingyun Middle School was one of her properties, and she was an honorary director of Qingyun Middle School. She did not expect that the school Zhang Xiaoyu casually mentioned was related to her.

Every item in the room is meticulously chosen, and with the extensive knowledge that Zhang Xiaoyu possesses, it is clear that each of these items holds significant value. Every detail reflects the extraordinary taste of the owner

"Who is the wolf?" Shen Lanjun asked with a smile, "Just now, I saw you desperately trying to lift someone else's blanket!"

What?" Shen Lanjun and Lin Xi exclaimed in astonishment at the same time

Were you once a student of Qingyun

"Do you know each other?" Shen Lanjun asked with a look of suspicion, scanning the faces of the two.

Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I don't know"

... ...

"Are you full?" Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as she picked up the half-eaten bowl of rice porridge from Lin Xi and gulped it down.

Qingyun Middle School," Zhang Xiaoyu replied

Zhang Xiaoyu was aware of her own shortcomings and knew that Lin Xi was unwilling to associate with her, so she chose not to initiate any conversation.

The atmosphere at the dining table is somewhat silent

"No need." Zhang Xiaoyu declined, "Save some room for lunch later!"
