When Guan Shiyan received Shi Youxi's text message, he was resting in the infirmary. He had been doing experiments all night and was getting old.

When the homeroom teacher saw him, he thought Guan Shiyan was using him as a guinea pig, so he let him sleep until the afternoon.

The phone rang; it was the special ringtone he had set for Shi Youxi.

"Young Master Shi, what imperial decree do you have to deliver—"

"Sister...no, Auntie is coming to see me at school, could you help me hold her up for a while?"

Guan Shiyan sat up and twisted his neck. "What 'auntie' or 'sister'... are you Shi Youxi?"

He pulled out his glasses, confirmed the caller ID, and said, "That's right, it's you. Where did this aunt come from...? It's not your fake stepmother, is it..."

"Yes, she should be here soon. I'm still on my way. Please wait a bit."

"Aren't you going to the outskirts of the city? Where are you now?"

"Just started driving, will arrive within ten minutes."

Shi Youxi's voice on the other end of the phone was indifferent, but in the background, Shi Si's voice was frantically talking about the essence of Chinese culture.

"Are you crazy? It's ten minutes away, so slow down!"

Guan Shiyan knew that the other party would disregard everything when he got desperate. He threatened, "As long as you don't end up in jail, I'll always support you. If you need me to bail you out, don't tell anyone I know you at school."

Shi Youxi chuckled: "It's alright, Shi Si can drive."

Shi Si: ".......cnm——"

Guan Shiyan chuckled as he listened to Shi Si's nonsensical rap. Just as he was about to hang up, Shi Youxi called his name again.

"Is there anything else?"

Shi Youxi pondered for a moment, then remembered that his sister seemed to also like Guan Shiyan's face.

Last time, Guan Shiyan hid behind him, which is why his sister didn't recognize him. This time, it won't work.

Tsk...

"Do you have a mask or sunglasses? Wear them. Don't let Auntie see your face, it's too ugly."

Guan Shiyan: "...Are you sick? Did you take your medicine today?"

The other side still didn't think it was going too far: "Don't say a word—"

Guan Shiyan hung up immediately.

I constantly remind myself that I am the normal person, and that Shi Youxi is sick, so I shouldn't argue with him.

But he hid, and there was another victim.

Shi Si was driving along a shortcut when he suddenly felt a dark gaze cast from the side.

"...."

Guan Shiyan stood downstairs in the teaching building for a while but no one came, so he ran to the door and stood there.

"that...."

Guan Shiyan looked up from his phone and saw a young woman holding a camera in front of him.

Hello, is there something you need?

Chen Yiting looked at the extremely handsome young man in front of her and said softly, "Excuse me, where is the school's honor roll?"

Guan Shiyan noticed the name tag hanging around her neck; it belonged to the Cheng Group, so it seemed Cheng Ran was probably nearby.

He pointed in a direction for the woman, and she glanced at him again before leaving.

Chen Yiting stroked the rabbit in her palm, murmuring as she walked, "That boy is so handsome... Mr. Cheng was right, there are so many people here who are even better looking than celebrities..."

I wonder if the guy Mr. Cheng mentioned is even better looking than the guy from before... I really want to see him soon.

What kind of good-looking person must be to make CEO Cheng show such a gentle look in his eyes just by mentioning them?

Guan Shiyan watched the woman leave, clutching the furry thing. He felt something was off about her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Turning around in distress, I saw a woman in a dark blue overcoat slowly walking towards me.

It's here!

Guan Shiyan adjusted his glasses with his index finger, put on a polite smile, and walked towards the woman. "Hello, Aunt Cheng, I am..."

"Young Master Guan?!"

Guan Shiyan was taken aback: "You know me?"

Has Shi Youxi already told Cheng Ran who he is...? How could this be? When did Shi Youxi and Cheng Ran become so close...?

Could it be...?

Guan Shiyan's heart sank when he recalled what he saw after school yesterday.

Mu Yiran realized that she had let something slip for the second time today. Her expression froze for a moment before she smiled and said, "Um... I'm sorry. I wanted to get along well with Xiaoxi, so I did some research on Xiaoxi's friends."

Mixing truth and falsehood in your statements makes them more believable.

Guan Shiyan nodded and smiled upon hearing this, "Student Shi was called away by the teacher, and he asked me to show Auntie around first..."

Just like when they were children, he served Shi Youxi diligently.

Mu Yiran found it amusing, but also somewhat relieved that Guan Shiyan was still by Shi Youxi's side, even though she didn't know why he had returned to China.

Moreover, Guan Shiyan looks like a good young man who hasn't gone astray. With him around, even if I'm not around in the future, Shi Youxi shouldn't get into trouble.

She was following Guan Shiyan up the steps of the teaching building when a sudden impact came from behind her.

Mu Yiran twisted her ankle and lunged forward.

"What the hell--"

"Watch out!" Mu Yiran leaned against Guan Shiyan, her arm being pulled back by a force.

Guan Shiyan had been watching Cheng Ran's movements closely and promptly supported her arm, preventing Mu Yiran from performing a grand salute to the statue of Confucius at the end of the steps.

"Auntie, are you alright?"

Mu Yiran waved her hand, "It's nothing, thank you... Ouch!" She tried to stand up from Guan Shiyan, but her ankle was in excruciating pain.

"Excuse me! I was carrying books and didn't see you. Are you alright, Auntie?"

The girl appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Mu Yiran's left hand to help her up.

But Mu Yiran twisted her left ankle, transferring all her weight to her left foot.

"Wait, wait a minute!!"

Lin Tingting was pulling hard on Mu Yiran's left hand when, in the next instant, her shoulder was pulled forcefully by a tremendous force.

"ah!"

Lin Tingting stepped onto the second step and fell backward to the ground.

The steps weren't high, so she didn't twist her ankle. When she looked up, she saw a tall young man striding past her, looking anxious.

Shi Youxi's expression was tense. He took Mu Yiran's arm from Guan Shiyan's hand, picked up the woman's soft and small knees with his left hand, and carried her horizontally.
