Chapter Fourteen: Did Xu Yihuan also sponsor impoverished students?
Xu Yihuan raised her wrist to check the time. If she didn't go back soon, she might miss it, as Liu Changyuan was about to leave.
Xu Yihuan began to struggle with whether or not to bring Tan Zhixu back with her.
However, at this very moment...
Tan Zhixu, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head.
Their eyes met unexpectedly.
The red mole between Tan Zhixu's eyebrows struck Xu Yihuan's heart directly.
Xu Yihuan gritted her teeth and walked towards Tan Zhixu.
How will you get home?
Tan Zhixu seemed surprised that Xu Yihuan would ask him this question.
He lowered his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the floor.
He said casually, "Let's take a taxi."
His tone was consistent with his usual style.
But I don't know what happened.
Xu Yihuan inexplicably sensed a hint of melancholy in his voice.
It seems the rumors at the school are true.
Tan Zhixu must be very tired from constantly pushing himself like this.
Xu Yihuan was filled with countless thoughts.
The Maybach stopped on the side of the road in front of Xu Yihuan with its hazard lights flashing.
"How about I take you home?" Xu Yihuan's gaze towards Tan Zhixu unconsciously carried a hint of pity.
"My car has arrived, so it'll be quick to get back."
Xu Yihuan and Tan Zhixu were about an arm's length apart, neither too close nor too far.
Two people were standing on the sidewalk when a cool breeze blew by.
Xu Yihuan's bangs were blown into disarray, obscuring her eyes.
Tan Zhixu looked intently at Xu Yihuan.
I suddenly remembered a summer from one year.
Xu Yihuan also wore a high ponytail.
He gave a speech while standing under the national flag.
Although he was wearing the blue and white school uniform of Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School, he looked dashing and spirited.
That was when he first came to Yuncheng.
"OK."
Tan Zhixu's voice was languid, with a slight trailing tone.
Xu Yihuan couldn't see his face, but she could inexplicably imagine his expression.
My face feels a little hot.
Quickly brush aside the hair that is blocking your eyes.
His gaze fell on Tan Zhixu, and when he looked up, he met Tan Zhixu's smiling eyes.
Xu Yihuan was taken aback for once.
To be honest, Tan Zhixu's face is truly deceptive.
If Zhou Yanzhe hadn't come from a wealthier family, he probably wouldn't have been awarded the title of "school heartthrob."
Xu Yihuan looked at Tan Zhixu's face.
For some reason, I was reminded of my previous life.
In his previous life, Tan Zhixu apparently ended up going to Nanjing University...
There are only a few top students in each grade.
Tan Zhixu's grades were more than enough to qualify him for Huaqing University.
In the end, however, he chose Nanjing University.
I listened to the teachers discuss it for a long time back then, and they all felt it was a great pity.
"When can we leave?" Tan Zhixu asked Xu Yihuan slowly.
Xu Yihuan finally came to her senses.
I walked over to the Maybach with its hazard lights on and politely opened the door.
"please."
Tan Zhixu didn't feel embarrassed about having a girl help him open the car door.
He readily agreed and sat down.
Xu Yihuan then got in, closed the car door, and the Maybach drove away.
Qiu Tianyi and Sheng Yuhuai walked out together at that moment.
The spot where the two had been standing was now empty; only the taillights of the Maybach could be vaguely seen.
A cool breeze swept by.
Qiu Tianyi and Sheng Yuhuai exchanged a glance.
"What about the person who talks about order?"
"I don't know, I should probably take a taxi back."
...
In the car, Xu Yihuan frequently looked down at her watch.
It's almost eight o'clock now.
If I send Tan Zhixu back and then go home, I don't know if I'll make it in time.
Butler Zhang also noticed Xu Yihuan's anxiety.
I stepped on the gas and drove onto the overpass.
Where do you live?
Xu Yihuan suddenly remembered that she still didn't know where Tan Zhixu was going.
Tan Zhixu was playing with his phone.
He casually mentioned, "Harbor Avenue."
Xu Yihuan paused.
Harbor Avenue is in the east of the city, while Lishui Bay is in the west.
Go through both ends.
Even at the fastest speed, it will take an hour.
It takes two hours round trip.
If we send Tan Zhixu back first, and then she goes home.
The daylily is probably too cold by now.
Xu Yihuan tightened her grip on her phone. Although there were security cameras at home, checking the footage to find out who someone was not as interesting as catching them in the act.
Tan Zhixu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he could see Xu Yihuan's anxiety.
He leaned back in his chair with a nonchalant air.
"Let me take you home first. I'm a guy, I can go home later anyway."
After Tan Zhixu finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Xu Yihuan gritted her teeth.
At worst, I can just invite Tan Zhixu to dinner again next time.
"Uncle Zhang, let's go back to Lishui Bay first."
Xu Yihuan's voice was clear and crisp, but she spoke very quickly, and you could tell she was in a hurry.
Tan Zhixu's brow twitched slightly.
Even without opening his eyes, he could almost picture what the girl looked like.
It must be very vivid.
Uncle Zhang agreed.
I stepped on the gas and was back at Lishui Bay.
Along the way, Zhixu pretended to be asleep, which made Xu Yihuan anxious.
The two of them didn't exchange a single word.
After an unknown amount of time, the Maybach finally stopped at the entrance of Lishui Bay.
Xu Yihuan opened the car door and got out.
Tan Zhixu followed behind and walked down.
Tan Zhixu carried a black backpack on one shoulder, paired with a light-colored school uniform. His pure black, wispy hair fell slightly in front of his forehead, and the red mole between his eyebrows was half-hidden, making him appear less arrogant.
The streetlights were right above Tan Zhixu's head.
The warm white sunlight streaming down created a very gentle atmosphere.
Xu Yihuan was stunned for a second.
From childhood to adulthood, she always thought that the person she liked was someone like Zhou Yanzhe, an unattainable beauty.
His appearance should also be as aloof and indifferent as his.
Now it seems that's not the case.
Suddenly, I realized that even a cinnabar mole has its charm.
Xu Yihuan raised her wristwatch and glanced at the time.
Even with Butler Zhang flooring the accelerator, they arrived home ten minutes earlier than she had estimated.
There's not much of a rush anymore.
Anyway, the person is in this house.
Xu Yihuan politely followed the procedure and asked, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
"OK."
"Okay, then I'll... um?"
Xu Yihuan sensed something was wrong halfway through her sentence and looked up at Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu's lips curled slightly as he raised an eyebrow at Xu Yihuan: "What's wrong?"
Xu Yihuan shook her head and replied with a smile, "Then let's go."
Xu Yihuan walked in front, and Tan Zhixu followed half a step behind, standing beside her.
The two people walked into the villa one after the other.
At the same time, right behind the two of them.
A car was parked in front of the villa next door at that moment.
Zhou Yanzhe and Wu Qingqing got out of the car one after the other.
Wu Qingqing stayed outside for half a day, but she was still worried, so she insisted on dragging Zhou Yanzhe back early.
Zhou Yanzhe felt uncomfortable because Xu Yihuan had embarrassed him, and he didn't want to stay outside.
As soon as the two got out of the car, their eyes fell on the Maybach next to them, whose headlights were still on.
Then, following the path, two figures came into view, one in front of the other.
Wu Qingqing couldn't take her eyes off her, and said casually, "Looks like Huanhuan just got back too."
"Huh? Who's that boy next to Huanhuan? Why is she bringing a boy home so late?"
Zhou Yanzhe did not look well.
I just embarrassed him today, and before I could even coax him back, he's already acting like nothing happened.
Xu Yihuan has been acting like this lately.
It's really annoying.
Wu Qingqing glanced at Zhou Yanzhe's expression and suddenly added another sentence.
"Could it be that Huanhuan also sponsored a student from a poor family?"
