"Let's leave today's matters here for now."
The principal also realized that because of Chu Zhang's interference, it would be difficult to resolve the matter directly today, so he tried to appease the other people's emotions first.
"Everyone, please calm down. Everyone's angry right now. Let's calm down and not rush into anything."
Although it was supposed to be a plea for help, the ones actually offering advice were the female student's parents, who were furious and angry at Chu Zhang's domineering attitude, and the female student herself, who was already sobbing uncontrollably.
After meeting Yang Xiaoyu, the principal also realized that Chu Zhang was difficult to persuade.
For a moment, the scene inside the principal's office became somewhat chaotic.
But at this moment, Chu Zhang suddenly turned his head to look at the homeroom teacher: "I heard from Yi Gui that you have been helping our Wanqiu?"
After the homeroom teacher explained the specific situation, there was no further opportunity to interrupt.
He only began to speak when Chu Zhang asked him a question.
"This is what a teacher should do."
"Thank you so much for your efforts for Wanqiu. There are very few teachers who can do this much. You can ask me for a reward."
The homeroom teacher frowned slightly.
Despite being very good at observing others, Chu Zhang ignored the homeroom teacher's frown and continued, "Apart from our precious Wan Qiu, I can find a way to get anything else you want."
At this moment, the homeroom teacher's face turned somewhat pale.
Chu Yigui's warning-like words were unexpectedly repeated by Chu Zhang.
The homeroom teacher sighed, met Chu Zhang's gaze again, and earnestly explained himself.
“I don’t want any reward. I just want to take good care of each and every one of my students, and I will do the same for other students as well.”
If I were to receive a reward for this, my motivation for helping my students next time would be impure, and I don't want that to happen.
I aspire to be a good teacher, and I always have.
Chu Zhang stared at his homeroom teacher, a smile always playing on his lips.
The homeroom teacher felt that Chu Zhang's eyes were like those of a carnivorous beast with sharp claws outstretched, toying with his heart and checking if there were any lies written in it.
"You are a really good teacher. I was too mercenary." Suddenly, Chu Zhang's laughter restored the atmosphere in the room. "You will be a good teacher. I'll give you a banner another day and sign it."
Chu Zhang's smile was very calm, and the homeroom teacher couldn't help but smile as well.
Compared to Chu Zhang, it was more bitter.
After Wan Qiu's mouth was covered, he remained obedient, looking up at Chu Zhang.
Chu Zhang sighed softly, "I never thought that kid Chu Yigui would be so indiscriminately afraid of others."
"What?" the homeroom teacher asked.
"fine."
Chu Zhang lowered his eyes to look at Wan Qiu, whose beautiful eyes, which resembled Yang Xiaoyu's, reflected his image. Just one glance made Chu Zhang feel inexplicably better.
Chu Zhang released his hand and saw that Wan Qiu's cheek had been marked with red marks from his touch.
Seeing the several fingers imprinted on Wan Qiu's face, Chu Zhang hugged Wan Qiu and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Big brother?" Wan Qiu asked, puzzled.
"Do you know why your older brother won't let you speak?" Chu Zhang asked as he helped Wan Qiu rub the red marks from his fingers on her face.
Wanqiu shook his head, not knowing.
“Sometimes, gentleness is just mistaken for weakness. When it’s time to be tough, you have to know when to be tough. But our Wanqiu is too gentle, so I’ll help you be tough. You can’t let Wanqiu hold me back.”
Wan Qiu blinked.
He nodded.
When Zhao Xinghua saw Chu Zhang and Wan Qiu talking, his viciousness softened like a cooked potato, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
fine……
At least it's back to normal now.
The homeroom teacher asked the class monitor to go back to the classroom first.
The class monitor nodded, turned around, and left the principal's office.
She simply listened from beginning to end and learned why she was being deliberately targeted with rumors.
She remained quiet as always, and didn't give Wanqiu a second glance when she left.
Wan Qiu looked again at the female student who was sobbing and her anxious parents.
There are many, many principles and many, many things in this world.
He has so much to learn, too much to count.
Be careful with your words and actions.
Wan Qiu pressed her lips down. If only she had a speech filter, she wouldn't say hurtful things.
As Chu Zhang led Wan Qiu away from the principal's office, he immediately spotted Chu Yigui waiting at the door.
"Chu Yigui, you skipped class?"
Chu Yigui nodded.
"Are you worried?" Chu Zhang asked with a smile.
"I'm very relieved," Chu Yigui said.
Chu Zhang raised an eyebrow: "Do you trust me a lot?"
"Yes."
Chu Zhang laughed, but didn't take Chu Yigui's words to heart.
Chu Yigui took Wan Qiu's hand.
Wanqiu returned the handshake.
The tense atmosphere that had been building up was eased by this small touch.
Zhao Xinghua, who was at the very back, noticed this seemingly insignificant little gesture that often occurred between the two of them.
I never thought much about it before, I just thought the two children had a good relationship.
But ever since Chu Zhang mentioned love, Zhao Xinghua has felt something was off.
At this moment, the female student and her parents came out of the principal's office because Chu Zhang had left on his own initiative.
In Chu Yigui's view, the female classmate had now revealed genuine fear, and even her hair hung down listlessly.
The vitality that had been so vibrant in her eyes last night vanished in an instant.
Chu Zhang escorted Wan Qiu back to the classroom, and Chu Yigui also went back.
Chu Zhang and Zhao Xinghua left the school gate together.
Zhao Xinghua saw the reporters waiting at the door and sighed.
"Making these children witness the wickedness of this society so early, you're like a devil," Zhao Xinghua couldn't help but complain.
"Why do you always side with others?" Chu Zhang turned his head and said to Zhao Xinghua, "They were the ones who first showed Wanqiu the wickedness of society."
Zhao Xinghua had no way to refute it.
Hopefully, these young children will learn to grow from these experiences rather than give up on themselves.
When many reporters surrounded Chu Zhang, they noticed that unlike Chu Zhang, who would have left immediately in the past, he actually stopped in his tracks.
Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Chu Zhang finally revealed a hint of melancholy.
His singing voice always captivates everyone.
His gentleness and sensitivity, all of which can be felt while listening to his songs, blur the image and personality of Chu Zhang.
Here, as the public sees Chu Zhang, is a picture of him.
“My younger brother was only found four years ago. Before that, he had been suffering from school bullying.”
"But there are no surveillance cameras in the school."
“My brother has always lived in darkness, and no one can help him.”
"Even after leaving that school, no one was punished except my younger brother, who was constantly bullied."
“We have a lot of eyewitness recordings, and they are all willing to come forward to testify, but even so, there is nothing we can do. The perpetrators are children of the same age, and there is no way to punish them. This is school violence.”
“I thought that as long as I found my brother, he would no longer be in any danger.”
"But it happened again."
“I’m here to protect my brother. I don’t want him to come back to me and suffer like that again.”
How much Chu Zhang misses his lost younger brother can be heard in many of his songs.
He has hardly concealed his initial motivation to find his younger brother.
And here now, Chu Zhang still mentions his younger brother.
These are all genuine emotions.
The news coverage that day had already dominated all the major news outlets.
Focusing on school violence has become a common topic of discussion recently.
Although Wanqiu and Chuzhang's relationship was no longer a secret, no one bothered Wanqiu's daily life.
No one wanted to offend the Chu family, and besides, constantly probing into other people's family members was not a proper approach.
Aside from the fierce online battles, Wan Qiu, who doesn't use the internet much, leads a peaceful life.
The girl in my class transferred schools; she asked to do so.
Knowing that Wanqiu's older brother was Chu Zhang, those classmates who had previously tried to distance themselves from Wanqiu returned.
But Wanqiu vaguely sensed that her mindset seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
Wan Qiu felt that this was probably related to the closeness or distance of the relationship.
He still considers everyone to be friends.
But he was different from Zhou Peiyu and the others.
The class monitor never spoke to Wan Qiu again; they were like strangers who had just started school.
When Wanqiu sent a message to the class monitor, she did not delete it, but she did not receive a response.
When Wan Qiu was staring blankly at his phone, Chu Yigui seemed to see him.
Chu Yigui hugged him.
"As people live, they will constantly meet different people, and in this process, they will gain something and lose something."
Chu Yigui comforted Wanqiu in this way.
Wan Qiu knew that she had probably lost her position as the class monitor this time.
"What if I try harder?" Wan Qiu asked.
"Some things cannot be forced." Chu Yigui was also unable to answer Wan Qiu's question.
Distancing oneself from Wanqiu was a choice made by the class monitor herself.
One cannot control the thoughts of others.
Wan Qiu leaned against Chu Yigui's chest and put down his phone.
Wan Qiu asked, "Will that happen to us?"
“We will always be together.” Chu Yigui replied earnestly to Wan Qiu, “Even if the young master doesn’t want me anymore, I will definitely stay by his side.”
Wan Qiu blinked and stared at Chu Yigui.
Even if Chu Yigui hadn't said it, he felt it would definitely have been that way.
Wan Qiu could think of any possibility of a friend leaving, but he couldn't think of Chu Yigui's.
Is it peace of mind and trust?
Wan Qiuxiang didn't know either.
As soon as he reached out, Chu Yigui would grasp his hand, as if they were inherently connected.
No one can accept the feeling of losing their limbs.
He and Yi Gui must be the same way.
but……
Why did Chu Yigui refer to him as "Young Master" instead of "Wanqiu"?
——
During the short holiday, Wan Qiu went to Yang Ze's new house with him.
Although it was the house for Wanqiu's 18th birthday, the renovation and the fact that the new house had been vacant for a certain period of time delayed Wanqiu's arrival until now.
It's a beautiful house, detached and with its own yard. It's definitely a world apart from the main house, but the location is excellent, the price is very high, and the security is top-notch. This is a well-known community just from its name.
Wan Qiu was amazed by the house's unique design after arriving here.
Unfortunately, Wanqiu's vocabulary is insufficient to adequately praise this unique house.
The very expensive car that Chu Zhang gave us is also stored in this garage.
Wan Qiu came alone with Yang Ze, while Chu Yigui stayed home to study.
Looking at the house, which was quite large for Wanqiu, Wanqiu hesitated for a moment: "Is all of this mine?"
"Yes." Yang Ze's response was still very simple.
"Why are you giving me such a big house?" Wan Qiu didn't understand.
“Wanqiu is an adult now, and he will definitely need his own private space.”
"Yeah?"
Wanqiu walked around and found that there were quite a few rooms.
"Are these all the family's rooms?" Wan Qiu asked.
Yang Ze's already serious face finally showed a hint of red.
Although the house was supposed to be for Wanqiu, they were still somewhat reluctant to let Wanqiu live alone.
A room was also set up in the house for them to stay in when they return.
"It's... a guest room. If many guests come, they can stay there." Yang looked away guiltily.
Decorating it as a guest room, rather than a private bedroom, is already the biggest concession they've made.
Hopefully, when Wanqiu chooses to be independent as an adult, they will be able to support her without hesitation.
I'm torn between wanting Wanqiu to be completely independent and this feeling is really agonizing.
Wan Qiu was quite satisfied.
There are rooms here that can accommodate everyone.
Wan Qiu said he wanted to prepare for Chu Yigui's eighteenth birthday here.
No one would refuse Wanqiu.
Chu Yigui's coming-of-age birthday celebration was different from Wan Qiu's, so it was impossible to hold a party like Wan Qiu's.
However, everyone in the Chu family was willing to attend Chu Yigui's birthday celebration, and this time, because it was her eighteenth birthday, everyone was particularly enthusiastic.
Although she wanted to replicate the gift she gave Wan Qiu and buy Chu Yigui a house and a car, given Chu Yigui's current personality, she wouldn't accept it readily.
Wan Qiu decided to give Chu Yigui a room in his villa as a bedroom, as a birthday gift.
Wan Qiu guessed that Chu Yigui would probably want to make a small house by hand again.
But for Wanqiu, making small handmade houses is his vision for the future, a home where they can live together in the future.
He now has his own house.
This place is so beautiful, it's like a handmade little house.
Therefore, Wan Qiu will leave a small room in his own room to Chu Yigui, as agreed with Chu Yigui.
Wanqiu counted the other rooms and decided to do the same, giving the other houses to his relatives on their birthdays as well.
Yang was both amused and exasperated when he heard Wan Qiu's idea.
They originally bought this house for Wanqiu's exclusive use, but Wanqiu wanted to bring the whole family with her.
Wan Qiu still bought a brand new handmade little house and placed it in the room he had prepared for Chu Yigui.
The decor here is very simple, and Wanqiu doesn't plan to touch it.
If it's the house that Chu Yigui wants, then how it's decorated will depend on Chu Yigui's own preferences.
On Wanqiu's birthday, the entire Chu family, including Butler Bai, gathered at his new house.
Wan Qiu celebrated Chu Yigui's birthday in his own house.
Unfortunately, as always, Chu Yigui was unwilling to invite her friends.
Wan Qiu even wondered if Chu Yigui wouldn't even care about the timing of her birthday if they didn't celebrate it for her.
Fortunately, Chu Yigui was very happy.
Chu Yigui received blessings from her whole family on her birthday.
When the lights were off and only the candlelight of the cake shone through, Wan Qiu sang "Happy Birthday" with everyone while observing Chu Yigui.
In the dim light, Chu Yigui looked very serious.
When he made his wish, Wanqiu inexplicably thought of a word—devotion.
Chu Yigui must have made a wish that she really hoped would be fulfilled.
Unfortunately, none of them knew what Chu Yigui's wish was.
Wan Qiu thought to himself, "If only I could fulfill Chu Yigui's wish."
On Chu Yigui's birthday, it was Chu Yigui's last day of rest.
After that, I need to focus on preparing for the college entrance examination.
Wan Qiu couldn't help but feel nervous.
Chu Yigui does a lot of practice papers every day.
When Wan Qiu saw the large pile of test papers and exercises in Chu Yigui's room, he couldn't help but shudder.
Zhou Peiyu stopped taking dance classes and devoted her time to studying.
Zhou Peiyu even asked if he could live with Chu Yigui and learn from her, but of course, he was refused.
Yang also moved in, intending to help.
Chu Yigui was extremely silent, and his silence almost proved that he was completely absorbed in his studies.
Wan Qiu couldn't help but feel nervous herself.
With Chu Yigui's college entrance exam approaching, Wan Qiu inexplicably became anxious and stressed.
The chef was invited directly from his home to cook for them. When Chu Yigui saw the chef, he simply said thank you in silence.
Wan Qiu felt that probably no one in the world was under more pressure than Chu Yigui.
Wan Qiu thought about how he would be taking the college entrance exam just like Chu Yigui in two years, and for a while he was so nervous that he couldn't eat.
The day before the college entrance examination, Chu Yigui said he wanted to ask for leave.
Wan Qiu anxiously looked Chu Yigui up and down to see if she was feeling unwell.
Even Chu Jianshu, who knew about the situation, couldn't help but call to ask what happened.
Chu Yigui said she wanted to clear her mind for a day before the college entrance examination.
Chu Yigui's day off happened just before the college entrance examination, and Wan Qiu was so anxious that she had a stomachache.
He simply took leave and stayed home with Chu Yigui.
When Wan Qiu woke up in the morning, he found that Chu Yigui had not gotten up.
Wan Qiu felt a surge of tension and pushed open the door to enter Chu Yigui's bedroom. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person on the bed was breathing properly.
Wan Qiu knelt down beside Chu Yigui's bed.
It was extremely rare for Chu Yigui to be lazy in bed; in Wan Qiu's eyes, it was even somewhat unbelievable.
Wan Qiu lay by the bedside, looking at Chu Yigui's sleeping profile.
I realized that I rarely saw Chu Yigui so completely relaxed.
Has Chu Yigui grown taller?
Because he was always looking at Chu Yigui, Wan Qiu couldn't really understand.
But he must have grown stronger by now.
Like his older brothers, he will gradually shed his relatively slender physique and begin to resemble a true adult.
For some reason, Wan Qiu thought of Chu Yigui's father, who, although a very annoying person, was handsome.
If Chu Yigui grew up to look like that, he would definitely be much, much more handsome than his father.
Wan Qiu lay by Chu Yigui's bedside, lost in thought.
His gaze unconsciously lingered on Chu Yigui's lips.
The thought of 'kissing' suddenly popped into my head.
If Chu Yi were to return to the future, would she want to kiss the person she's in love with?
What would that look like?
The book that was burned contained no record of Chu Yigui's lover from beginning to end.
Why is that?
Chu Yigui lingered in bed for two hours. When he woke up, Wan Qiu was already asleep next to him.
Chu Yigui sat up carefully, without waking Wan Qiu.
His fingers lifted a strand of Wanqiu's hair.
Chu Yigui gently brushed Wan Qiu's eyelashes with the pad of her finger, watching them tremble slightly as she touched them.
Chu Yigui poked Wan Qiu's cheek; it was soft and plump, with a cute, fleshy look.
Chu Yigui lowered her eyes and looked at Wan Qiu, who had been fast asleep the whole time and hadn't reacted.
As if possessed, he touched Wanqiu's lips.
With just a gentle press, a soft, slightly damp sensation travels from your fingertips.
Chu Yigui withdrew her hand.
Even though Wanqiu showed no signs of waking up.
His touch ended there.
When Wan Qiu woke up, Chu Yigui was no longer in bed.
As I stepped outside, a pleasant scent filled the air.
Chu Yigui was cooking.
The cook was gone, and the maid who cleaned the house was gone too, leaving only the two of them.
"Yi Gui, why are you cooking?" Wan Qiu asked.
"Since I had nothing to do, I cooked."
Chu Yigui's answer sent chills down Wan Qiu's spine. Tomorrow is the college entrance exam, can he really just sit around doing nothing today?
"Where are the chefs?"
“I sent them back,” Chu Yigui said. “I don’t really want to see many people today.”
Wan Qiu's hair almost stood on end, and she took two steps back: "I, I'll leave right away."
However, Chu Yigui turned around and smiled, "Except for Wanqiu."
Wanqiu blinked in confusion, then suddenly felt relieved.
“From now on, Wanqiu needs to learn to exclude others from whatever I say,” Chu Yigui said while cooking. “You should know that I won’t say anything bad to you.”
Wan Qiu nodded.
I don't know why, but my mood has improved.
Chu Yigui's cooking is as delicious as ever.
They chatted at the dinner table, talking about what Wanqiu had been doing while he was away.
Wan Qiu picked out some interesting things to talk about.
Chu Yigui smiled in agreement.
Wan Qiu conscientiously went to wash the dishes, but Chu Yigui took the job away from her.
Wan Qiu stared longingly at Chu Yigui and even cleaned the house.
Chu Yigui didn't touch any of the learning tools from beginning to end.
Chu Yigui took apart the new handmade little house that Wan Qiu had given them; they had spent the whole day making it.
Wan Qiu gradually became immersed in the meticulous steps of making the small house along with Chu Yigui.
Wanqiu is also very skilled at making small houses.
The sound of scissors cutting paper.
The sound of cardboard being placed on the table.
Chu Yigui marked the sound of the paper with a pencil.
The subtle, frictional, and delicate sounds of touch became the only sounds around them now.
They progressed very quickly, even in a tacit manner.
Although they only managed to create a small cubicle, it was the best they could achieve so far.
Wan Qiu washed his hands and watched Chu Yigui walk past him, preparing to go into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Looking at his wet hands, Wan Qiu suddenly quickened his pace and stood behind Chu Yigui.
Chu Yigui seemed to sense something and stopped, as if she wanted to turn around and look at him.
Wan Qiu suddenly reached his hand under Chu Yigui's clothes and placed it on Chu Yigui's abdomen.
The cool, moist temperature was pressed directly against the warm body.
Wan Qiu thought Chu Yigui would shudder, but she didn't.
Chu Yigui simply stretched out her hands and covered Wanqiu's hands through her clothes.
The fine water droplets on Wan Qiuwen's cool fingers were absorbed by Chu Yigui's clothes.
From a slight chill, I gradually felt the firm muscles of Chu Yigui's abdomen and its warm temperature.
Wan Qiu looked up, but unfortunately, Chu Yigui had her back to him and he couldn't see anything.
Wan Qiu withdrew his hand.
Chu Yigui said nothing, seemingly indulging him.
Wan Qiu watched Chu Yigui's retreating figure.
I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling.
It seemed that Chu Yigui wouldn't get angry no matter what he did.
That night, Chu Yigui asked him if he wanted to sleep together.
Wanqiu refused.
Tomorrow is the college entrance exam, so Chu Yigui absolutely needs to get a good night's sleep tonight.
But for some reason, I didn't say the words of refusal in the end.
Wan Qiu crawled into Chu Yigui's bed, and Chu Yigui turned off the light.
They slept together.
They nestled together unconsciously in their sleep.
