Guan Baiyu didn't want to have too much contact with Qiu Yunxin.

It's impossible for him to like Qiu Yunxin; in fact... he's growing to like Shi Zhen more and more.

Sometimes he didn't dare to spend too much time with Shi Zhen, for fear of revealing something.

But he also wanted to see Shi Zhen.

So every time I pray, I'm torn.

At this point, he was even grateful that he had gone to Changxi City to study and lived on campus.

Otherwise... no matter how good he is at hiding his thoughts, he can't completely hide them in daily interactions.

However, because he liked someone but couldn't have her... he felt a bit of sympathy for Qiu Yunxin.

"Guan Baiyu, you're amazing!" Qiu Yunxin had already changed into her roller skates and was waving at Guan Baiyu from the entrance.

Guan Baiyu nodded at her and then started skating on her own, ignoring him completely.

Seeing this, Qiu Yunxin bit her lip in frustration.

“Let’s go skiing too,” Sun Qiqi said to Qiu Yunxin.

"Okay," Qiu Yunxin replied, and then went skating.

Qiu Yunxin and Cheng Tian can't roller skate, but Sun Qiqi can, and she's quite good at it.

It was Sun Qiqi who suggested that they come.

At first, Sun Qiqi accompanied Qiu Yunxin. After skating for a while, Qiu Yunxin and Cheng Tian told her to go skate by herself, so she went to skate by herself. However, she was very careful, so her speed was average.

At the entrance of the roller skating rink, Li Dongchen and another boy looked at the situation inside the rink and were furious.

He learned that Qiu Yunxin was going to roller skate, so he followed her, only to find Guan Baiyu there.

Even after all this time, Qiu Yunxin still can't forget Guan Baiyu!

"It's Guan Baiyu again. What's so great about him?" Li Dongchen said to his classmate, "He's just a poor country bumpkin!"

Li Dongchen harbors great hostility towards Guan Baiyu, and the friends he's making now are all people who dislike Guan Baiyu.

Some of them who disliked Guan Baiyu gathered together, and after much discussion, their hostility towards Guan Baiyu actually grew stronger.

Li Dongchen's friend also said, "That's right, he's really shameless. It's one thing to freeload, but he also has Liang Qinxuan bring him to a place like this."

"Yeah! He skates so well, I wonder how much money he's spent on this roller rink!"

The two were chatting away when, suddenly, an accident occurred in the middle of the skating rink.

Sun Qiqi has actually rollerbladed quite a few times and is very steady on the ice.

But because of her cautious nature, she didn't dare to skate too fast.

This wouldn't normally be a problem, but there were a lot of people rollerblading today, and some of them were holding hands and crashing around recklessly.

Sun Qiqi was skating when a group of four people skating hand in hand fell down next to her. They all fell down together, which also knocked Sun Qiqi down.

Sun Qiqi was knocked away and fell hard to the ground with a scream.

Guan Baiyu had been avoiding that group of people while rollerblading, and now that he saw this, he stopped and quickly skated over to check on Sun Qiqi: "Sun Qiqi, are you alright?"

Guan Baiyu actually paid quite a bit of attention to Sun Qiqi.

After all, he had misunderstood the Sun family for so long... He felt a little embarrassed when he saw Sun Qiqi.

“My hand…” Sun Qiqi burst into tears.

When Guan Baiyu went over to take a look, he was shocked. Sun Qiqi had probably been knocked over and instinctively used her hands to brace herself. As a result, her right little finger was deformed, and her arm was bleeding because she had scraped off a layer of skin from falling on someone else's roller skates.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Liang Qinxuan rushed over as well, after all, they were classmates.

"Her finger is broken; we need to take her to the hospital." Guan Baiyu quickly took off his shoes.

Liang Qinxuan then noticed Sun Qiqi's arm and immediately turned pale: "Bai Yu, I...I can't, you take her...don't let me see..."

Guan Baiyu turned his head and saw Liang Qinxuan turn his face to the side, sweating profusely.

Oh, Sun Qiqi's arm is bleeding, and Liang Qinxuan... he's afraid of blood.

Guan Baiyu looked at Qiu Yunxin and the others: "Come and help."

Qiu Yunxin and the others had already taken off their shoes and rushed to help. The other people in the roller skating rink were also anxious, and the person who ran the rink was even more frightened.

Their roller skating rink doesn't have very good safety measures. For example, roller skaters should have protective gear such as knee pads, but they don't have any here.

Now that someone has broken a bone, he is naturally worried.

However, Guan Baiyu and the others didn't have time to argue with him about this... Guan Baiyu and Qiu Yunxin helped Sun Qiqi up, called Cheng Tian and Liang Qinxuan, and went outside.

Recently, Liang Qinxuan's cousin got a new van and is waiting outside, which will allow him to take them all to the hospital at once.

Sun Qiqi cried the whole way. Her fingers were in excruciating pain. Qiu Yunxin and Cheng Tian, ​​the two girls, were also terrified and comforted her with pale faces.

As for Liang Qinxuan, he sat next to the driver's seat, not even glancing back.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Liang Qinxuan said weakly, "Guan Baiyu, you guys go in. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go in."

Given Liang Qinxuan's condition, Guan Baiyu naturally wouldn't force him. He had Qiu Yunxin and Cheng Tian help Sun Qiqi out of the car and take them to the hospital.

Qiu Yunxin and the others are all young girls in good health. They usually go to the community hospital for a cold. Now that they've come to a big hospital, they're a little lost.

Seeing this, Guan Baiyu could only help by registering for the emergency room and running around doing all the errands.

Since they didn't have much money with them, he had to pay for it himself. After Sun Qiqi saw the doctor, Guan Baiyu asked for Sun Qiqi's home phone number and called her family.

The person who answered the phone was Sun Pingfu, who had met Guan Baiyu once before. Upon learning that his granddaughter was injured, Sun Pingfu immediately said that he would come over right away.

Guan Baiyu waited there for a while.

Sun Pingfu did arrive very quickly. He didn't come alone; he was accompanied by a woman who looked about ten years younger than her.

When Sun Qiqi saw them, she cried even harder: "Grandpa, Grandma..."

"Qiqi." The woman rushed over to Sun Qiqi and hugged her to comfort her.

Sun Pingfu noticed Guan Baiyu and said to him, "Little friend, was it you who made the call, and was it you who took Qiqi to the hospital? Thank you."

"No need to thank me." Guan Baiyu was able to treat Sun Pingfu with normalcy once he learned that he was not Sun Pingfu's grandson.

Although Sun Pingfu neglected his eldest son after sending him to the countryside, which was somewhat wrong, he didn't abandon his grandson, so he can't be called a bad person.

"I think I've seen you before?" Sun Pingfu asked.

"I've seen you once before, when you were with Teacher Fei," Guan Baiyu said with a smile.

Sun Pingfu then remembered: "Oh right, you're that child."

Guan Baiyu checked the time and realized it was getting late. He couldn't help with anything here, so he said goodbye to Sun Pingfu and told him he had to go back to his evening self-study session.

"Guan Baiyu, when you go, please ask for leave for us." Qiu Yunxin said quickly upon hearing this.

Guan Baiyu agreed.

When Guan Baiyu returned to the car, Liang Qinxuan's complexion had finally improved, but he was still shaken: "That really scared me to death. I'll never dare to go roller skating again... Sigh, I'll go buy a pair of roller skates. There are more and more people over there, it's not safe."

"You should focus on your final exams first."

Liang Qinxuan said, "You're a devil!" Why do you keep reminding him of that!

“You’re going to be a senior in high school soon. I remember you’re going to have extra classes at school during the summer vacation… Are you sure you’ll have time to roller skate?” Guan Baiyu asked again.

Liang Qinxuan covered his face: "Don't remind me!"

After Guan Baiyu arrived at school, he helped Sun Qiqi and the others get leave.

He thought Sun Qiqi would rest at home for a few days, after all... her finger was broken.

As a result, Sun Qiqi came to school the next day despite her disability.

She specifically sought out Guan Baiyu: "Guan Baiyu, thank you for taking me to the hospital yesterday."

Sun Qiqi came to express her gratitude, and also to return the medical expenses that Guan Baiyu had paid in advance, and to explain her own situation.

Her middle, ring, and little fingers are all fractured to varying degrees. Now those three fingers are wrapped up like sausages, leaving only her thumb and index finger exposed.

Sun Qiqi sighed, "They wanted to wrap up my index finger as well, but then I wouldn't be able to do my homework."

"Keep it up, you'll definitely do well on your final exams," Guan Baiyu encouraged her.

Sun Qiqi smiled, then hesitated before saying, "Um, Guan Baiyu, I have a request..."

"What?" Guan Baiyu asked.

"Can I borrow your class notes?" Sun Qiqi asked. "I want the chemistry ones, because I've always been bad at chemistry."

"Okay." Guan Baiyu agreed; it was a small matter.

Sun Qiqi was overjoyed: "Thank you so much! You're a good person!"

The teachers in the experimental classes, such as Class 1 and Class 2, are better than the teachers in the regular classes; this is something all students at No. 1 Middle School know.

Sun Qiqi and her classmates were in the regular classes.

Sun Qiqi had wanted to borrow Guan Baiyu's class notes for a long time, but she was too embarrassed because they weren't familiar with each other before.

Guan Baiyu took her to the hospital yesterday and was very kind, which gave her the courage to borrow her class notes from him.

Guan Baiyu returned to the classroom and gave his chemistry notes to Sun Qiqi.

He always pays close attention in class and takes very clear notes, which are perfect for review.

"Thank you, Guan Baiyu. Don't worry, I'll return it to you in a couple of days," Sun Qiqi said. Her chemistry class notes weren't many, and mostly just formulas, so copying them was quite quick!

Sun Qiqi took Guan Baiyu's class notes back with her and Qiu Yunxin to look at them. After reading them, they were full of admiration.

"Guan Baiyu's handwriting is so beautiful!"

"After reading his notes, I suddenly realized how ugly my handwriting is."

"His notes must have been organized, right? Otherwise, how could they be so neat!"

"It shouldn't have been organized. This notebook started last semester, then this semester, and the pen colors and such have been changed several times..."

...

Guan Baiyu's class notes were taken during class.

However, he always prepared in advance, and when he took notes, he used both black and blue pens. His handwriting was also good, so it looked particularly clear.

In particular, when he reviewed the material on his own later, he marked some places with a red pen and added some content... making the notes richer and clearer.

Sun Qiqi and the others were overjoyed. They finally agreed that Qiu Yunxin and Cheng Tian would copy it during the day, and Sun Qiqi would take it home to copy at night.

Sun Qiqi injured her hand, so the teacher exempted her from some homework and she didn't have to attend evening self-study; she could go home to rest.

As for Qiu Yunxin and her classmates at school... during evening self-study, the teacher would give them test papers on the spot, have them do them, and then explain them to them.

The three of them picked out a notebook together. Qiu Yunxin copied first, and when she got tired, she gave the notebook to Cheng Tian to copy. That evening, Sun Qiqi took it home and continued copying.

So, Sun Qiqi's family saw her, with her three fingers wrapped up like large sausages, diligently copying her homework at home.

"Qiqi, your hands are injured, so don't write anymore." Sun Qiqi's grandmother felt very distressed when she saw this.

"Grandma, this is a notebook I borrowed. I have to return it in a couple of days, so I must copy as much as possible," Sun Qiqi said.

"Otherwise, Grandma will help you copy it," said Sun Qiqi's grandmother.

"No need, Grandma, I'll do it myself. I'll review while I'm copying," Sun Qiqi said.

Sun Qiqi's grandmother sat down and immediately noticed Guan Baiyu's notebook. She asked curiously, "Qiqi, who did you borrow this notebook from? Your handwriting is so beautiful."

Sun Qiqi proudly said, "They lent it to me by the top three students in the grade!"

"That girl who always gets first place in exams?"

“No, he usually ranks third in the grade…Grandma, you saw him yesterday too,” Sun Qiqi said.

Sun Qiqi's grandmother immediately thought of the boy she had seen yesterday and frowned slightly.

Recently, her best friend's granddaughter started dating early and got pregnant while still in vocational school... She can't stand seeing her granddaughter getting close to boys.

"Is that Guan Baiyu?" Sun Pingfu walked over, glanced at him, and smiled. "His handwriting is really good. He must have practiced for a long time. His notes are also very neat."

Qiu Yunxin talks about Guan Baiyu to Sun Qiqi every day. Last time Sun Qiqi went to Guan Baiyu's house, she saw how poor Guan Baiyu's family was...

Sun Qiqi felt an indescribable sympathy for Guan Baiyu, and also found Guan Baiyu to be very inspiring.

At this moment, she said, "He studies very hard, and he basically always ranks in the top three in his grade! He memorizes English words while eating, and he always gets up very early in the morning to study..."

Sun Qiqi recounted a long list of things she had heard from Qiu Yunxin about Guan Baiyu.

Actually, she also had feelings for Guan Baiyu.

However, this goodwill is not yet love, and she has no intention of developing anything with Guan Baiyu.

There were a few girls in their class who really liked a handsome and athletic boy in the senior year of high school. They always talked about how great he was, and they would secretly go to watch him at sports meets and such.

Sun Pingfu didn't think much of what Sun Qiqi said, but Sun Qiqi's grandmother frowned again.

She flipped to the very beginning of the notebook and saw the character "Guan," which made her even more uncomfortable: "So, this is his surname..."

“Grandma, the village where Guan Baiyu lives is the same village where my uncle used to live. I went there last winter vacation,” Sun Qiqi said. “Guan Baiyu’s family is quite poor. He studies very hard and has always studied in the countryside. He was able to get into the top high school! If he didn’t have to work during his holidays, he might have been the top student in his grade long ago.”

“This child has had a tough time… By the way, Lao Fei told me that he was adopted by that family…” Sun Pingfu sighed.

When Sun Qiqi's grandmother heard that there were three people in "that family," her expression changed again.

She had a lot of complaints about "that family"!

She knew that her husband's previous wife had left him with a son. When she first married into the family, she was quite happy to learn that the child had been raised in the countryside, since very few people would be willing to raise a child who wasn't their own.

But later, more and more unpleasant things happened.

First, it was the Guan family; they asked for a lot of money.

She can't afford to raise her own child for that much money!

Later, Sun Pingfu wanted to bring the child over, but the child didn't want to. Sun Pingfu even made her go pick the child up... What kind of nonsense is this!

Later, things got even worse. The child was a teenager, and after coming to their house, he wanted to go back every day. Sun Pingfu would come and blame her for not treating the child well and not being close to him.

That's his child. Why doesn't he treat his child well? Why doesn't he get close to his child?

Why would a woman like her get close to her teenage stepson? Isn't that insane?

However, teenagers really are like that, annoying. When her own son and daughter were teenagers, they were just as fiery as firecrackers.

Later, the child got older and things got better. After he went to work on the construction team and stopped staying at home, the house became even quieter. But then the child had an accident... Sun Pingfu came to argue with her again, blaming her for not being good enough to the child and for not keeping him.

What does this have to do with her! Even her own father, Sun Pingfu, couldn't save her!

That wasn't all; the old woman from the Guan family even came and cried, then kept saying that her stepson had a hard life, that his family didn't care about him, making everyone think that she was mistreating her deceased stepson.

The old woman also took some valuables left by her stepson.

She looked down on the Guan family from the bottom of her heart and disliked them!

At first, she had a good impression of Guan Baiyu, but now her opinion has plummeted, and she even has some bad doubts.

Her granddaughter went to Guan Baiyu's house and went roller skating with Guan Baiyu. Could there be something going on between them?

Guan Baiyu already knew her man and her granddaughter's situation, so he must be aware of their family's financial situation. Could he be plotting something?

When her stepson died, that old woman even wanted to ask them for money!

Sun Qiqi had no idea what her grandmother was thinking. After hearing about it from her grandfather, she immediately asked about it.

Sun Pingfu then told Guan Baiyu about how they had rented their house in Anshan Town to his cousin.

Sun Qiqi was born in Changxi City and had no impression of Anshan Town, but she felt it was such a coincidence.

As for Sun Pingfu... he didn't have a very good impression of the old lady Guan who raised his eldest son.

After all, his son used to treat her like his mother, and he didn't want to go home.

But he didn't hold a grudge, after all, Grandma Guan treated his son better than her own son.

As for trying to get money from him in various ways, like wanting to come to his door to ask for money even though his son is gone... it's normal for old women in rural areas to be short-sighted.

He regretted neglecting his eldest son too much in the past, which led to him outliving his son.

Guan Baiyu was unaware of the Sun family's affairs.

All he knew was that... two days later, Qiu Yunxin came to return his chemistry notes and then borrowed his physics notes from him.

He had already borrowed it once, and Guan Baiyu always admired people who studied diligently, so he lent it to her again. However, his attitude towards Qiu Yunxin was colder than his attitude towards Sun Qiqi.
