“Of course I’ve heard about it. He’s really handsome, isn’t he?”
“He’s not only handsome, he even dared to challenge Bai Zhun and asked if he’s really the number one student in the school.”
“Hasn’t anyone dug out the background of that transfer student? His family background shouldn’t be simple since he’s transferred at this time of the year, right?”
“I’ve never heard anything about him having a powerful family background. However, there are people who say that he was recruited through special recruitment and that Master of Extinction was the one who came up with the questions personally.”
“Master of Extinction came up with the question, and he could pass it?”
“Not only could he pass it, he finished it in half an hour and got full marks. He even wrote two solutions to the last question!”
“Holy shit, another top student!”
“So what if he’s a top student? His family’s conditions can’t be compared to that of our almighty school stud, Bai Zhun. I heard that he came here by bicycle, so he’s quite ordinary.”
Helian Qingchen, who was said to be ordinary, was sitting in the classroom at this time. His slender fingers tapped against his left ear. The one black earring on his ear started emitting a faint light at this time.
“Well, I’ve met Bai Zhun, I’m in the same class as him.” Helian Qingchen held a pencil and smiled lightly. “Heh, I provoked him a little. Not bad, he’s quite calm. No, no need, I’m fine here alone. Brother, I have more money than you. You really don’t have to keep thinking about sending money to me. If this goes on, your manager will cry. Don’t worry, when I see Ajiu, I’ll bring your gift to her. You should behave and don’t always make things difficult for your manager. Yes, yes, I know you didn’t make things difficult for him but you just went to the nightclub and didn’t even inform him. The last time you went missing, he called me too. Seriously, one needs to be super well connected and on your feet to be your manager. No, you don’t have to get anyone. Have you forgotten? I’m really good at taking exams. Alright, I know. I’ll take good care of myself…”
No one noticed that Helian Qingchen was talking on the phone, because he looked like he was reading English. He was holding a book in his hand, and he didn’t have any communication equipment.
However, they didn’t know that sometimes books and ballpoint pens could be just a disguise.
Who Was Helian Qingchen?
He was the little boss of an organization that dealt with ghosts and spirits!
At seventeen years old, he could already take on business deals alone. Of course he had some devices on himself.
Actually, things like going to high school were really not that difficult for him.
The main thing was… the email that Ajiu wrote!
Helian Qingchen put down the thing in his hand and turned his head to look at Bai Zhun who was not far away. His eyes narrowed slightly.
As Ajiu’s older brother, he really did not want Ajiu to fall in love with this kind of boy.
Because it was really difficult for someone like Bai Zhun not to attract the likes of other girls.
However, from what Ajiu wrote, it seemed like the other party already had someone he liked.
Helian Qingchen curved his thin lips. He did not know why, but he felt that things might not be as his little sister thought.
So, he still had to observe for a while more.
Helian Qingchen spun the ballpoint pen in his hand once, and then laughed again. No matter what, even if they could not see each other often, it was still good to observe from a close distance in a school.
He couldn’t always see his little sister, but he could see Bai Zhun every day.
Originally, he could have waited until after New Year to bring Ajiu home. If it wasn’t for that unexpected email, he wouldn’t have appeared here at this time.
But since he was here, then he had to let the other party know that there were people who liked his Ajiu too.
Helian Qingchen stood up, carried his school bag on his left shoulder, and just put a hand in his pocket, bypassing Xiao Lin and Li Hailou who were standing in front of him.
Lixiao Bawang had never seen such a cocky person before. He clenched his fists and said, “Hey, Xiao Lin, why do I have the urge to beat him up?”
“You can’t beat him.” Xiao Lin was indeed the most careful one among them. “There are calluses on his hands. He’s probably trained in martial arts before. But I also checked him out, and he is indeed very ordinary.”
Li Hailou scratched his hair. “I haven’t felt so angry for a long time! The last time I was angry was when I saw Ajiu for the first time!”
Bai Zhun did not speak, but his eyes darkened.
Xiao Lin raised his hand, indicating that he should not mention Ajiu at this time.
Li Hailou also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.
“Master Bai, did you and Ajiu get into a fight?”
“No.”
Li Hailou was sure that Bai Zhun was lying. He wasn’t blind.
It was hard for Li Hailou not to be wary of Bai Zhun’s emotional ups and downs. If Bai Zhun quarreled with Ajiu, then Li Hailou was the one who was going to get in trouble!
He had not forgotten what happened that time when Bai Zhun fell out with Ajiu and suddenly put up at his place.
However, after so many years, this brother and sister pair were on extremely good terms. How could they get into a fight so easily?
Moreover, it was different this time.
This time, rather than saying that the two of them were at odds, it was more appropriate to say that they were…very much like a normal brother and sister pair.
That’s right, it was really all very normal.
In the past, he and Xiao Lin both felt that Bai Zhun doted on Ajiu too much. Ajiu was like Bai Zhun’s tail and he made sure he could see her everywhere he went.
Although she was very obedient, she was very not to be trifled with.
Anybody who dared to say anything mean to Bai Zhun would get manhandled by the little girl.
There was once, someone tried to use Ajiu to threaten Bai Zhun. He thought that Ajiu was an innocent little girl with no tricks up her sleeve, so he used food to lure Ajiu down the dark alley behind the school.
Ajiu went along with him, but it wasn’t because he offered her food. She had heard what he said about Bai Zhun and went with him so that she could bash him and his friends up.
In fact, that boy and his friends were the students of another high school who didn’t like Bai Zhun.
They probably never thought that the person they had deceived wasn’t a little white rabbit but a little tiger. Although her nature was a little silly, she was always unusually fierce when it came to matters related to Bai Zhun.
Ajiu protected Bai Zhun so fiercely, there was no way Li Hailou and Xiao Lin could compare to her.
Everything that Bai Zhun said was right to her. This boy really knew how to raise a child well.
But now, no one knew why, but there was always a feeling…
Ajiu was not as clingy to Bai Zhun as before.
Although she would still follow him around obediently, she would no longer take the initiative to be close to him.
But if only Ajiu was behaving like this, then it wouldn’t be so weird. However, even Bai Zhun was behaving strangely. He had actually learned to distance himself from Ajiu.
Why was this happening?
Li Hailou’s head was about to explode. However, when he saw Bai Zhun’s absent-minded side profile, there was an indescribable silence in the way he looked.
Everything that Li Hailou meant to say couldn’t come out anymore.
Was it really true that the older they grew, the deeper the estrangement between them would become?
