Chapter 172 To Pay the Ransom or Not?



"Ah Xiao, what do you think could possibly happen between me and the class monitor?" Shen Linyue put aside her thoughts and looked at him as if he were a silly child.

This guy always speaks without thinking. You could say he's straightforward, but sometimes he's also very considerate and attentive to her feelings.

He has a sensitive personality, but not much.

In general, it's because their emotional intelligence is a bit low.

Thinking of this, Shen Linyue looked at He Xiao with even more affection. She wondered if buying him some books to cultivate his character would improve his emotional intelligence.

She considered the feasibility of this.

He Xiao, unaware of her inner thoughts, gazed at her face for a few seconds before slowly looking away. "Can't I mention that I feel ignored?"

His mother finally came back, and he hasn't even had a chance to properly impress her yet.

He sensed that his mother was hiding something from him.

So He Xiao was a little annoyed, and when he saw her take the initiative to go to the corner to talk with Jiang Zhixing, that annoyance reached its peak.

I just feel that neither he nor Ms. Shen have any secrets, so why should Jiang Zhixing have any?

Shen Linyue: "..." You're really stubborn.

Before Shen Linyue, who had seen through his little scheme, could say anything, Jiang Zhixing had already walked out from around the corner.

His expression was terrible. He saw no emotion on He Xiao's face either. His numb gaze swept over Shen Linyue and then left.

He Xiao opened his mouth, about to say something sarcastic, when he keenly noticed that Jiang Zhixing seemed to be in a very strange state.

It's like having your soul ripped out, leaving only the shell of your body.

Only when Jiang Zhixing's figure disappeared and the school bell rang did He Xiao have no choice but to abandon his thoughts.

Shen Linyue pretended not to see the thoughts on his face and turned to leave.

"Go back now, He Xiao. Please don't forget what you said." She smiled, then remembered what He Xiao had told her very seriously the day after they reconciled.

“Ms. Shen, from now on, our relationship at school will be the same as before. You’re not allowed to give me any special treatment or call me… cough, well.” The boy coughed, covering his mouth, his eyes darting around nervously, his ears slightly red.

Shen Linyue immediately understood what he meant by what he hadn't finished saying.

She smiled and called him, "Baby."

"Don't you want your mom to call you that at school?" Shen Linyue wanted to tease him.

The next second, the boy's entire body turned bright red.

She thought it was just a trending internet term, but she realized its meaning only after seeing it in He Xiao's life.

Of course, there's no need to go into detail about how the boy jumped up and down the next second.

As Shen Linyue turned her back to these thoughts, a high smile curved her lips.

He Xiao had obviously thought of this too, and his face started to burn, but he couldn't do anything about his own mother.

"I was talking about in class, this is private time, it's different!" the boy corrected, dissatisfied.

Shen Linyue glanced at him, seemingly unconcerned. Then, as she approached the classroom door, she suddenly turned back, a half-smile playing on her lips, and whispered, "Baby..."

Unexpectedly, the boy acted faster, covering her mouth and manually muting her microphone.

"Don't shout!" The boy frowned, his eyes filled with grievance and reproach.

What is she doing? Doesn't he have any pride? Is it okay to just call someone "baby" like that? It's so cheesy!

I have no idea what Ms. Shen's thought process is! Humph! She's definitely messing with him on purpose.

Luckily, he acted quickly; he knew what she wanted to do just from the expression she gave him!

Thinking of this, He Xiao secretly smiled with delight.

The two stood at the back door of the classroom. The 185cm tall boy tightly covered the mouth of the petite girl, his chubby face bulging out, making him look like he was being bullied, pitiful and helpless.

The noisy classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two people at the back door, as if they were enjoying the spectacle.

Everyone remained calm, knowing that the two aunt and nephew were just playing around, and no one actually stepped forward to stop He Xiao's behavior.

They knew better than anyone how much the once good-for-nothing school bully had changed for this aunt! His classmates, on the other hand, had even more to say about it!

So, they watched the play together, but because of the school bully's tyranny, they only dared to secretly take videos with their phones.

It wasn't until someone's flash went off that the two playfully started looking up and their eyes met the others'.

Everyone: "..." Please continue, we didn't see anything.

Everyone awkwardly and guiltily looked away, but couldn't help but sneak glances back, "Hmm, let me take another look."

Shen Linyue was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole. Noticing that He Xiao's grip had loosened, she pried his arm open and twisted it hard.

He was only satisfied when he saw the fleeting contortion on the boy's face.

"Hey, please watch your image. I don't want to become a celebrity at school again." Shen Linyue glared at him before sitting back down in her seat.

He Xiao rubbed his twisted arm, pursed his lips, and looked resentful. He wanted to scold her, but seeing her angry back, he could only shut his mouth in frustration.

However, he didn't let go of the chubby boy who was secretly taking pictures without turning off the flash.

He immediately put on a kind smile and leaned closer.

"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao, calm down, I can explain... actually I was taking a selfie, do you believe me?" the chubby guy said seriously.

He Xiao's smile remained unchanged as he stretched out his hand: "Hand it over, and I'll spare your life."

The chubby boy: "..." Is this the same person who was just playing around with Lin? His mood changes so quickly, it's a shame he's not an actor.

Forced by his tyranny, the chubby boy reluctantly handed over his phone.

Then, the next second, he heard a voice.

"Tsk, the photos look pretty good," He Xiao raised an eyebrow at him, then sent them directly to his phone via Bluetooth, but didn't forget to delete the photos from the chubby boy's phone. "Don't you dare take pictures of Lin Yue without permission, understand?"

The chubby boy: "..."

Are you satisfied with the photos I took?

The chubby boy didn't know, but He Xiao, after receiving the photo, immediately sent it to He Liyu.

The backdrop for the photo was quite nice. He Xiao was tall and strong, and he was holding Shen Linyue as if she had been kidnapped by him.

The message He Xiao sent to He Liyu also conveyed the same meaning.

【Your future wife has been kidnapped by me. Are you going to pay the ransom? [Grinning face]】

He Liyu, on the other end, was perhaps free by chance. He paused for two seconds after receiving He Xiao's message before opening the photo to view it.

Perhaps due to the flash, the two people in the photo looked up the moment the photo was captured. One had dark, emotionless eyes, while the other looked bewildered and helpless, which perfectly matched He Xiao's so-called kidnapping.

He Liyu looked at He Xiao's childish message and chuckled as Assistant Ji handed over the documents.

Assistant Ji, who was about to place the file on the table, was puzzled: "?" Was the boss unhappy with where he placed the file?

After replying to the message, He Liyu realized that his assistant hadn't left yet. The smile on his face vanished instantly, and he said in a low voice, "Go out, this is none of your business."

Assistant Ji: "..." The boss is indeed dissatisfied!
