Wen Han, after the nth quarrel w...
Chapter 51: A small trick that hurts you physically, but hurts him deeply.
The young couple glanced back, seemingly hoping Wen Qingke would teach Wen Han a lesson, but Wen Qingke had already shrunk to the back, meekly daring not to speak. Anyone who didn't know better would think Wen Han was the head of the household.
"You know I always keep my word, right?" Wen Han added, seeing their constipated expressions. "Also, if the child cries at night, take a walk around the neighborhood. That will stop the crying. Don't disturb the neighbors, understand?"
After saying that, Wen Han closed the door. The young couple was about to say something bad about Wen Han when the door suddenly opened, startling them. The next second, diapers, bottles, and formula were thrown out.
"Hanhan, it's really not a big deal to help your neighbors occasionally."
Wen Han turned on the tap to wash her hands and said calmly, "I don't want to hit children, so don't make me say it a second time."
“Okay.” Wen Qingke quickly changed the subject, “Dad is going to take you out to dinner on Saturday. Our boss wants to meet you.”
Wen Han frowned: "Why are you seeing us?"
"It seems that our boss's superior wants to see you."
Wen Han was taken aback: "Your boss's superior isn't Gu Zong, is he?"
"Hanhan, how did you know?"
Wen Han glanced at Wen Ruan without saying a word. Wen Ruan unconsciously clenched her fist: "Dad, can't we not go?"
"Dad has already agreed, it wouldn't be right not to go."
Wen Han still couldn't figure out whether Wen Ruan liked Gu Cheng or not. If he did, shouldn't he want to be with him every day? Why did he look so conflicted?
Wen Han went to sleep that night, and there was no sound of a child crying upstairs. She wondered if Wen Han's threat had worked.
He had only closed his eyes for a short while when Wen Ruan, who was on the small bed next to him, got up rustlingly. Wen Han thought he was going to the bathroom, but Wen Ruan hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Wen Han, are you asleep?"
Wen Han remained silent; he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Wen Ruan.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ruan said quietly, "Wen Han, your breathing isn't like this when you're asleep. You're not asleep yet."
"You're a pervert!" Wen Han couldn't take it anymore. "What are you trying to do in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Please help me think of a solution. We can't go to Gujia."
Wen Han snorted: "I can't help you with that. Besides, this matter will only benefit me and not harm me."
"Isn't there any downside..." Wen Ruan sat on the edge of her bed. "How can you be so sure?"
"First, if you go to the Gu family, this room will be mine; second, Gu Zong promised to pay off your debts, and I'd be happy to give him millions, let alone help you? Dream on."
In the darkness, Wen Ruan quietly looked at him for a while, then said nothing more and slowly crawled back into bed.
Wen Han couldn't sleep. In the drama the system had shown him before, Wen Ruan was so happy when she and Gu Cheng got married; this was completely different. Jing Yu's words kept echoing in his mind. He decided it was best to find a reason not to go to the Gu family.

"Wen Han," Fang Songxia asked him after class, "can you come with me to the dentist tomorrow?"
"A dentist?" Wen Han looked up. "Didn't you go to see one before?"
"That time it was a filling, this time it's a root canal. I need to treat several teeth."
Perhaps it's because Fang Songxia ate too much candy when he was little, but his teeth are prone to cavities. Wen Han asked curiously, "Isn't your mother going with you?"
"I don't dare to do it alone," Fang Songxia sighed. "Just come and keep me company."
"Okay, okay." Wen Han had gone to the same dentist as when he was a child. He exclaimed, "Luckily, I don't have any cavities, hehe."
Fang Songxia was so jealous she wanted to grind her teeth.
They changed seats last night, and Yang Lanjun even asked Wen Han whether she wanted to sit with Jing Yu or Fang Songxia.
"Jing Yu, I guess," Wen Han said. "If he sits next to Fang Songxia, he'll probably have to talk in every class."
How did Jingyu's notes end up with you?
"I didn't finish taking notes in class." After spending a lot of time with Jing Yu, Wen Han noticed that although he took notes, he never looked at them. Since Wen Han felt that she didn't hear anything in class because she was always just taking notes, she simply used Jing Yu's notes.
When the physics answer sheets were handed out, Yang Lanjun saw Wen Han smiling happily at her physics exam paper and asked in confusion, "Don't you think you did very poorly on the test?"
Wen Han said seriously, "Passing physics is very difficult."
Why didn't you choose history?
"Because my history is worse."
Yang Lanjun had nothing to say, and then turned to Gu Cheng: "Gu Cheng actually stayed at home for a whole week and didn't come to school."
"This is a good thing."
Yang Lanjun glanced at him hesitantly: "Um, Jin Mingxuan has returned to school, so you'd better be careful."
Wen Han said nonchalantly, "What can he do to me?"
Wen Han soon learned what Jin Mingxuan "could do".
When he went outside for some fresh air after class, people would occasionally run by and bump into him. If Wen Han hadn't been used to walking close to the wall, he would have fallen to the ground.
Some of the faces were familiar, some were not, but their demeanor was immediately apparent; who else could they be but a group of thugs? Wen Han found it somewhat amusing; these people's methods were really limited.
What else could they do? A proper beating of Wen Han was definitely out of the question, so they could only resort to some subtle, harmless methods.

After the last class in the morning, Fang Songxia suddenly suggested, "Wen Han, let's go out for lunch."
The school food is so-so, so some students choose to eat around the school. They don't have time to eat complicated things like hot pot or barbecue, but curry rice and spicy hot pot are okay.
If you think about it, they haven't eaten out at all this semester.
This was a special "entertainment time" for Fang Songxia and Wen Han, so it wouldn't be appropriate to invite Jing Yu along, especially since Fang Songxia didn't intend to bring Jing Yu either.
Wen Han hesitated for a moment: "Jing Yu, why don't you go to the cafeteria first? Fang Songxia and I will go out to eat."
Jing Yu nodded, and Wen Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"System." Wen Han said a little embarrassedly, "I feel so sorry for Jing Yu. I'm the only friend he has at school. He'll have to go to the cafeteria alone today."
"snort!"
The system's sudden rebellion isn't new; where did that soft, innocent, and adorable system go? Wen Han, being pulled along by Fang Songxia, didn't dare turn her head to look at Jing Yu beside her.
"Let's go eat lunch—" Before he could finish speaking, Wen Han was suddenly bumped into. Right in front of him was a marble staircase, and he instinctively braced himself with his hands.
"Wen Han!" Fang Songxia exclaimed in surprise, "Are you alright?"
Wen Han was still in shock when Fang Songxia glanced at Jing Yu, who was pinned beneath him: "Jing Yu, are you alright?"
Jingyu, holding him, fell down the stairs, his back hitting the steps, and his vision went blank.
Wen Han's face turned pale. Jing Yu forced himself to sit up, looked at him, and smiled gently: "I'm fine. Are you alright?"
The person behind her didn't leave. Wen Han saw Zhang Yongqi standing there helplessly, so she went up and punched him on the head.
"Ah!" Zhang Yongqi clutched his head. "It wasn't me!"
Wen Han punched him again: "Anyway, you're all in cahoots!"
"What are those students doing over there!" the head of student affairs shouted. "They dare to fight in school!"
The head of the teaching department glared sternly at Wen Han: "Why is it you again?" His back still hurts from time to time.
“The teacher didn’t hit me,” Zhang Yongqi suddenly explained. “He greeted me.”
The head of the teaching department clearly didn't believe it, but since Zhang Yongqi himself had said so, he couldn't say anything.
"Sigh," Zhang Yongqi said incredulously, "You just left like that? I was just speaking up for you!"
"You were the ones who pushed me in the first place."
I didn't push you.
"oh."
Zhang Yongqi was stunned: "Shouldn't you apologize?"
"The pain is felt by him, even though it hurts you," Wen Han said expressionlessly. "You can ask him to return it."
Zhang Yongqi, that idiot, was laughing at something. Wen Han looked at him like he was crazy, but he just laughed even harder.

After what just happened, Fang Songxia looked at Jing Yu with new respect and took the initiative to invite him to go together.
While eating, Fang Songxia kept licking his tooth that was about to have a root canal: "You don't understand, it's about to become a dead tooth, I'm saying goodbye to it."
Wen Han found it quite amusing.
To ensure they had a pleasant weekend, the school worked overtime to grade all the tests and record the results before dismissal, which drew complaints from the students.
"Alright, alright." During the last period of evening self-study, the homeroom teacher was showing them the grades. The entire class's grades were being publicly displayed. "It was hard work for the teacher to input your grades."
Wen Han scored nearly 20 points higher in physics than usual this time, and performed normally in other subjects as well. She will be able to take the test in Class 3 next time.
Fang Songxia asked, her eyes brimming with tears, "Are you going to abandon me?"
Wen Han touched his little face: "Sorry."
Jing Yu was a transfer student who immediately ranked first in his class, drawing frequent glances from his classmates. Wen Han knew he was a good student, but she hadn't expected him to be this good.
"Host." Wen Han was still looking at the results when the system suddenly became hesitant.
"We also took an exam."
What's your ranking?
"First."
"What?" So he was the one who took the most average exam.
Wen Han's feelings were complicated: "You're really amazing."
After school, Wen Han unusually gave the electric scooter key to Wen Ruo.
What are you going to do?
"I'll lend it to you. I'm going to Jingyu's house and won't need it for a while." Actually, Wen Han was worried that the car would be tampered with by those thugs if she left it at school, so she thought it would be better to let Wen Ruo drive it back.
Wen Ruan frowned and said, "If you go to Jing Yu's house, what will we do for dinner tomorrow?"
“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. Fang Songxia wants me to go with him to the dentist tomorrow.” Wen Han turned and left.
——
Fang Songxia and his mother kept nagging and pleading until the afternoon to postpone the dental treatment. Wen Han didn't understand the point; it was only a few hours apart.
Jing Zhao said, "Wen Han, shall we go to Yunjia Lake this morning?"
Wen Han was also curious about what kind of trinkets she was planning to sell.
