"It didn't burn."

Chu Yang removed his hand from her forehead and looked at her face carefully.

"Oh, it's burning now."

Li Qingshu could no longer hold back and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Her delicate and beautiful appearance left Chu Yang speechless for a moment.

How could I not understand her feelings? This young lady has been hurt.

They probably saw him being picked up by Shen Li yesterday, or they heard the rumors that he was being kept by a rich woman.

At this point, only the two of them remained in the classroom.

Chu Yang smiled slightly, leaned closer, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Li Qingshu did not dodge; her body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head to sniff.

Chu Yang said, "I am not being kept by a rich woman. The girl yesterday was just a customer of my family's hair salon. She asked me to wash her hair."

"So sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily the truth."

"I'm currently single and available to flirt, so don't give up easily because of a temporary misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, but quickly withdrew them.

"Why are you explaining this to me? And besides, who's trying to flirt with you? Humph."

After humming, he got up, left his seat, and walked towards the door.

But he deliberately slowed down.

Chu Yang followed.

"Hey, those three lines of English love poem you wrote, were they for me?"

"No, that's not it."

"Who was it written for?"

I won't tell you.

"Then why are you jealous?"

"I don't……"

"..."

…

"Double Happiness is out of stock? How about two packs of Hongtashan 1956?"

At the convenience store near the school gate, Chu Chunrong returned from the funeral procession and found his cigarette pack empty, so he went in to buy two packs of cigarettes.

The shop owner handed him two packs of Hongtashan cigarettes.

"There are twelve pieces in total."

He was just pulling out his banknotes to pay when he suddenly froze: "Twelve yuan? Are cigarettes this cheap here?"

I almost suspected it was a fake cigarette.

The shop owner smiled and said, "You are Mr. Chu's father, so of course you should sell it to me at a lower price."

He then offered her a cigarette.

Chu Chunrong took it and asked in confusion, "What Boss Chu? When did my son become a boss? You must have mistaken me for someone else."

The shop owner held out his lighter, lit his cigarette, and said with a smile, "What are you saying? Chu Yang is your son, the new owner of this building, and my new landlord. How could I not recognize him?"

"This building? The new owner? The new landlord?" Chu Chunrong was dumbfounded.

The cigarette he had just lit slipped from his mouth and fell to the ground, burning his trouser leg without him noticing.

The shop owner quickly picked it up, put it in the ashtray, and handed it to him again.

"This building, is it really my son's?" Chu Chunrong asked, stunned.

This completely baffled the convenience store owner. The son bought a house without the father knowing? What kind of situation is this?

His expression is so shocked; he really doesn't know.

Little did he know that Old Chu was even more shocked at this moment.

Because Chu Yang said that he bought more than one house!

Won 600,000 from betting on football? Earned two or three million from football betting?

They also said that the house is about to be demolished and that a huge amount of compensation will be provided by the end of the month, with a minimum of ten times the compensation plus five resettlement houses?

At the time, I thought this kid was just bragging and talking nonsense.

If the house is real, then the rest...

Holy crap, I don't even want to think about it!

Old Chu's cigarette is about to run out of steam again.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

"You brat! You actually did something this big behind my back! I'll teach you a lesson when I get back!"

…

"Achoo!"

Chu Yang sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Li Qingshu, who was standing next to her, asked nervously, "Are you sick too?"

Chu Yang sniffed and smiled, "I'm not sick, maybe someone misses me."

The two took a walk after dinner, strolling on the playground.

The sky was overcast, with thick, dark clouds that looked as if they might drip water at any moment.

Li Qingshu kicked away a pebble on the ground and seemed unhappy when she heard Chu Yang say that someone was thinking about him.

Then Chu Yang said quietly, "That sneeze was so loud just now. How close must the person who misses me be? It's too much, I can't stand it."

Li Qingshu became even more unhappy. It's infuriating that she had to emphasize this in front of me... Wait, something's not right!

She looked up abruptly and met Chu Yang's smiling eyes.

"What, only just realized?" Chu Yang teased.

Li Qingshu felt a wave of embarrassment and anxiety.

"Who missed you? I didn't!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked forward.

Heaven help it, Miss Li has never walked with such disordered steps before.

After a few steps, realizing something was wrong, she quickly squeezed her legs together and adopted a small lotus-like gait.

Her face was flushed.

Chu Yang's cheeky grin appeared before her eyes again.

Then raindrops began to fall from the sky, gradually becoming denser.

Chu Yang grabbed her hand and ran towards the teaching building.

Li Qingshu let him hold her hand, feeling as if the hand she was holding was electrified, the sensation sending a tingling, numb feeling through her heart.

It's so sweet!

Unfortunately, he let go of her hand when they reached the eaves of the teaching building.

Suddenly, I heard him say, "Little genius, how about we make a bet?"

Li Qingshu asked instinctively, "What bet?"

Chu Yang smiled and said, "How about we have a competition in tomorrow's mock exam? The loser has to grant the other one a request."

“One condition…” Li Qingshu thought for a moment and asked, “What condition?”

Chu Yang chuckled: "I haven't decided yet."

Li Qingshu wrinkled her nose and said defiantly, "You make it sound like I'm destined to lose. Humph, I'll come up with a condition too!"

"Okay, but don't try to cheat if you lose."

"Don't try to back out."

“It’s you.”

"you."

“.

"Are you two playing with echoes?" Class teacher Chen Linjun suddenly appeared.

Li Qingshu panicked and was about to ask Chu Yang for help when she discovered that he had quickly darted up the stairs.

"..."

She was speechless, unsure how to explain.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yang slipped back, rushed up to the homeroom teacher, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and handed one to her.

"Old Chen, let's have one."

Chen Linjun twitched the corner of his mouth: "Smoking is prohibited in school. What kind of talk is this!"

However, his body betrayed him; he took the cigarette, smelled it, and then casually clipped it to his ear.

Then he said seriously, "You two have been getting quite close these past few days, Chu Yang. I'm not trying to be mean, but you were with Su Lingxue before, and now you're with Li Qingshu. Can't you focus more on your studies?"

"Teacher, my grades are pretty good, it won't affect my final push," Chu Yang said.

Old Chen paused for a moment.

Knowing he couldn't control them, he could only say earnestly, "You two bear heavy responsibilities, especially Chu Yang. You've come from behind to surpass others, so you need to stay focused and not let them down, understand?"

"Class is about to start, go back to the classroom." He waved his hand.

Li Qingshu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and ran off in a hurry.
