Chapter 28

  After that day, the semester was approaching its end. He Song studied hard every day, often staying up till midnight, which became a regular occurrence. Yuan Zhi had tried to persuade him several times but to no avail, so he just sat beside him every day, sometimes spacing out and sometimes reading comics, but eventually falling asleep while leaning against the girl's back, not caring if others were tired or not. When He Song finished studying, Yuan Zhi would drowsily return to his room. Despite Yuan Zhi's clinginess, He Song was unusually tolerant of him, even when he was tired, he didn't want to say anything to him. Having someone like that by his side made him feel at ease, even if the other person was occasionally difficult to deal with.

  On the crowded bus, Yuan Zhi protected He Sheng standing by the window. It was a bit cold, but the air was good. While chatting with He Shou Si, his mouth hurt in just a few sentences. His tongue licked it, and his lips were dry and cracked to the point of breaking.

  He poked He Sheng's shoulder and made a face at her, "Blood, blood!"

  He Qian hastily pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe him clean, and seeing that the person was about to turn back, he said, "Let me borrow some lip balm, otherwise it'll bleed again."

  He Sheng pinched his ear and whispered, "It's got color."

  "It's nothing."

  He Shuang took out a pink lip balm and applied it to him, Yuan Zhi smiled contentedly, puckered his mouth, and smiled with gleeful abandon.

  "What's wrong with you? Can't even wipe your mouth without someone helping you?"

  Yuan Zhi raised an eyebrow, "I'd be delighted!" He then turned to face He Sheng who was looking out the window and said, "Kid, he's mocking me for being crippled!"

  He Sheng looked at He Shou Si who was speechless and helped him explain, "There are a lot of people, it's not convenient for him!"

  "Ah!" He Shouci completely stopped talking.

  In the busy and compact days, time always passes especially fast. He Song had always thought that Yuan Zhi's disaster would occur at the end of the year, a place where no one could feel happy.

  But who would have thought that disaster would arrive ahead of schedule, when Yan Bai stepped into the small house, He Song had a premonition that it wouldn't be anything good, because there was a strange man standing beside him.

  He Sheng was doing his homework on the tea table, watching Yan Bai walk over with eager eyes, and called out in a low voice: "Big Brother Yan!"

  "Hmm, a lot of homework?" He glanced at her exercise book.

  "It's almost the end of the semester, need to review."

  Yan Bai nodded, "Study hard." Then he turned his head to look around, "Where are the others?"

  "Wu Aunt has gone to buy vegetables, Yuan Zhi is sleeping."

  Yan Bai raised an eyebrow and looked at the wall clock, "Still sleeping at this hour?" He said as he was about to go upstairs.

  He Sheng threw down his pen and rushed upstairs, shouting "I'll go call for you!"

  "Papa papa" disappeared instantly at the corner of the stairs, Yan Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, sat on the sofa and looked at her homework.

  Yuan Zhi had been awake for a while, and since it was cold outside and he had nothing to do, he continued lying in bed. Beside him was the latest best-selling comic book, which he was reading with great interest.

  Hearing footsteps approaching, without even lifting his eyes, he said: "I'm not eating lunch anymore, whatever you say is useless."

  The heating in the room was turned up high, and the young man lay naked under the quilt, his pajamas already fallen to the ground. His pale feet were exposed outside, with his big toes occasionally clenching the quilt. His eyes were intently fixed on the comic book in his hand, where emotions constantly changed, dense and rich as if they could condense into water droplets falling down.

  He Qiong picked up his pajamas and pulled on the soft waistband. "Get up, there's someone downstairs."

  "Who is it?"

  "Big Brother Yan."

  The hand flipping through the papers paused, "How did he come?"

  "I don't know." He Song gazed at his expression, "Get up, or else he'll be here soon."

  Yuan Zhi's face sank, and he put the comic book aside, rubbing his hair as he reluctantly sat up. The quilt slid down to his waist, revealing his pale and lean physique. He Sheng feared that he would catch a cold, so she threw clothes over to him one by one.

  Yuan Zhi reluctantly put it on, his movements inevitably slow and sluggish.

  He Sheng urged in a loud voice, "You have to speed up a bit, or Yan will get impatient."

  "It's none of your business!"

  "It's not good to keep people waiting all the time, what if he can't wait and comes up to take a look."

  What he said wasn't unreasonable, but he still had a grudge against He Sheng for always supporting Yan Bai in the past. His action of putting on clothes stopped, and he stared at her, "Is it that you're making someone wait for you and feeling uncomfortable?"

  "No." What's going on here?!

  "Big Brother Yan is indeed very close." Yuan Zhi pulled her over and educated her, "In the future, either call him by his full name or just use a nickname, got it?"

  He Sheng looked embarrassed, not wanting to agree, nor could he refute him. Time had passed and she simply pulled Yuan Zhi's wrist into her clothes. Yuan Zhi raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, no longer pressing her.

  After finishing wearing the clothes, Yuan Zhi came out wearing a small shorts, his straight and slender legs were exposed in the air without any scruples, he himself didn't mind, but He Sheng looked at him with some embarrassment.

  Turned around and went to the bathroom to help him rinse his face and squeeze toothpaste.

  It was already half an hour later when Yan Bai put down the pen he was playing with, looked at the two children and said straightforwardly: "Your efficiency is getting lower and lower, but fortunately there's still time. Now follow me, it's President Yuan's birthday today, as his son you have to go."

  "You say go and I'll go? Wouldn't that be too humiliating?" Yuan Zhi looked at him with a hint of a smile, unmoved.

  "You're sure you want to go through another pointless argument? Based on past cases, do you think you can refuse again? You know I have a lot of chips in my hand, and now maybe there's one more." Yan Bai ignored Yuan Zhi's suddenly darkened face, got up and walked over, looked at He Song who was at a loss beside him, patted her head, "You go pack up too, we'll leave together."

  Yuan Zhi grabbed He Song's arm and pulled him back, his eyes coldly staring at him, "Don't touch her."

  Yan Bai smiled and withdrew his hand, pointing at his wrist, "Speed!"

  Actually, there's nothing much to collect, at most just putting He Sheng's stationery on the tea table aside, and then they all got in the car. Yuan Zhi indeed didn't struggle anymore, Yan Bai was right, he never won once, the more he shouted the more like a clown, these people always have a way to force him to compromise, too many weaknesses, such as Wu Shu, and also He Sheng.

  The luxurious private car slowly drove away, He Sheng sat next to Yuan Zhi in the back seat. After the small Western-style house outside the window gradually disappeared from view, she turned to Yuan Zhi and said, "Aunt Wu still doesn't know we've left."

  Xian Bo turned his head sideways from the passenger seat, "I'll take care of it, don't worry."

  He Sheng nodded and calmed down.

  Before going to the venue, they first went to a clothing store. The young female owner and Yan Bai said a few words, with an enthusiastic and familiar attitude. Afterwards, she brought out several shopping bags, complete from head to toe.

  Yuan Zhi picked out a few and handed them to He Sheng, pushing him into the dressing room, and then impatiently took his own and went next door.

  When he came out again, he looked much more radiant. Yuan Zhi was still good-looking, with a decent foundation to begin with. He usually dressed meticulously, and when he put on a small suit and tie, he looked even more handsome and elegant. There wasn't much difference otherwise.

  Little He Sheng, who had been wearing school uniforms for a long time, was different. She wore a pink puffy skirt and short boots, and now her skin was even whiter, looking like a warm and fluffy little princess.

  Yuan Zhi smiled slightly after a moment and walked over to help He Shuang tidy up her hair, praising: "Mmm, my girl is really beautiful."

  He Sheng tugged at her skirt, feeling awkward and not knowing where to put her hands and feet. Subconsciously, she leaned against Yuan Zhi and muttered, "Not used to it."

  The clothes look like high-end goods, just afraid of getting dirty and damaged, making her feel uneasy all over.

  Yuan Zhi poked her face, "Can make you look pretty and still don't like it?"

  "I don't like it."

  "She's also a girl who doesn't know how to enjoy herself." Yuan Zhi wrapped his arm around her shoulder and shook it gently, leaning in close to whisper, "Actually, I'm not used to it either."

  "Really?"

  "Uh, just to give them face, I reluctantly put it on, and when we got back, we changed."

  Regardless of how true his words were, He Song was delighted and nodded in agreement.
