Nan Sheng, who had run down the street, looked at the empty road and anxiously and helplessly circled around, calling out, "Yin Han, Yin Han, Yin Han..."
No one responded.
Under the dark shadows of the night, the streetlights cast a long, elongated silhouette of Nan Sheng's petite, flustered figure. Apart from the chirping of crickets in the roadside trees, there was no one to be seen, only a chilling silence, a silence that was almost eerie. But then, Nan Sheng's cries echoed...
Nan Sheng burst into tears of disappointment. She clearly saw Yin Han; she wasn't mistaken. Had he left?
"Yin Han, are you here? Please come out. I want to see you..." Unable to see anyone, with the cold wind whipping against her face, Nan Sheng still refused to leave.
Behind a large tree not far away, a pair of eyes, as black as an inkwell, were clenched tightly. Looking at the figure squatting on the ground, her thin shoulders were trembling incessantly. Yin Han wanted to rush over and hug her into his arms.
She wanted to see him... but he abruptly pulled back the step he had taken, then turned and left without hesitation.
The next morning.
Yin Han arrived at the classroom early, drawing many surprised glances from the audience.
He glanced at him and then looked up at the clock on the wall.
It's definitely 7:35. Why is this person here so early today? In their memory, Yin Han is either late or just on time; he has never arrived at the classroom on time, let alone early.
Xiang Niannian had just put down her schoolbag when she saw Yin Han. Thinking of how much Nan Sheng cared about him, she looked up and smiled, "Yin Han, good morning!" Xiang Niannian's voice was soft and gentle.
If Nan Sheng's voice is soft and gentle, then her voice is simply delicate, like a gentle spring breeze.
Xiang Niannian felt a little awkward when she saw Yin Han glance at her without answering.
Just when she thought Yin Han wouldn't answer her, Xiang Niannian saw him nod slightly!
Although the movement was very small, she saw it.
As soon as Yin Han returned to her seat, a man sitting next to Xiang Niannian approached her and said, "Xiang Niannian, why did you suddenly greet that person? Aren't you afraid of him? He's so young but has already been to jail!"
"Wang Wentao, watch your words. It won't hurt you to say hello. Besides, don't let Nan Sheng hear you. She won't allow anyone to talk about Yin Han like that."
He reminded Niannian.
“Hey, you mean Nian Nian? How could Nan Sheng, such a beautiful girl, like Yin Han? Although Yin Han is indeed a little bit better looking than me.” Wang Wentao confidently tossed his hair.
Xiang Niannian didn't answer. Instead, she took out a small mirror from the drawer and said to him seriously, "Why don't you look in the mirror before you speak again?"
After getting her hair cut, Yin Han's face was so striking that students from other classes came over to secretly admire it.
"You've gone too far..." Wang Wentao said irritably as he took the small mirror away. Couldn't he be allowed to be confident?
After sitting down, Yin Han was absent-minded. On the surface, she was reading a book, but she kept an eye on the movement at the door.
She hasn't arrived yet...
The school bell rang, but she still didn't come...
The image of the girl from last night flashed through Yin Han's mind, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
As a result, he couldn't concentrate on learning anything today, couldn't read anything, and didn't listen to any lessons.
No, Yin Han had never listened to the teacher's lectures.
During her free time after class, when Yin Han went to get water with her cup, she heard several unfriendly voices coming from the restroom inside.
"Brother Xiao, I checked and it seems that Nan Sheng comes from a pretty good family. Her family seems to own a company. You can tell by the clothes and shoes she usually wears. She would definitely be a perfect match for you."
"Can't you even speak properly? What do you mean by 'good enough'? I don't care if she's rich or poor. Do you think I lack this pittance of money? I lack her!"
"Yes, yes, but according to my inside information, Nan Sheng transferred here specifically for that convict! She asserted her dominance on her very first day and was particularly protective of that convict."
"Fatty, what are you saying? Who cares who she's doing this for? Our Brother Xiao doesn't care! You said she's a convict, she's not even worthy to carry our Brother Xiao's shoes."
"No, who are you talking about?"
"He's a student who transferred here just six months ago. He came out of nowhere and ranked first, so our school made an exception and admitted him. He's been to jail and is dirt poor!"
"Ha! Nan Sheng wouldn't even look at him if she had eyes."
"Definitely, a rich, beautiful woman paired with a poor, convict-turned-boy. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare portray it like that..."
The three of them had just stepped out when they saw Yin Han's gloomy eyes. The words they were about to say suddenly stuck in their throats. Damn, was that look meant to kill?!
However, he seems to be quite handsome.
"A convict?" Xiao Muze wasn't guilty at all. Moreover, he knew from their eyes that this was the person they were talking about, so he called out to him openly.
Yin Han ignored him and continued to lower his head to collect the water.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Don't play dumb with me." Xiao Muze put his hands in his pockets.
"No, brother, I heard he's mute, I've never heard him speak." Fu Hongbai shifted his fat body and explained to Xiao Muze in a low voice.
"Oh, and she's mute? She's been to jail, and this poor kid still living in the garbage dump is dreaming of eating swan meat. Nan Sheng, I like her. Don't go near her anymore. She'll be mine. She probably didn't know what kind of person you were before. Maybe she's kind and can't stand seeing you being bullied, so she's protecting you. If you need money, you can tell me. Consider it helping a poor person. Do you understand?"
Fu Hongbai saw Yin Han staring intently at Xiao Muze for some unknown reason. The look in his eyes made his own fat tremble. Just as he was about to warn him, he heard a loud "smack".
The noise was so loud that people in the corridor and nearby gathered around.
Xiao Muze was beaten...
Nan Sheng hit him.
Xiao Muze was stunned by the sudden slap. He was about to get angry, but after taking a closer look and seeing who it was, his anger subsided a lot. He was about to speak when he heard what was happening.
"I can hear you so clearly, you son of a bitch. Who do you think you are? When did I become yours? I don't know how. What's wrong with you? Just because you like me doesn't mean I'm yours. You're so shameless. I don't even know your name."
And don't think you can bark like that just because you have a few bucks. If you don't have enough money for medical treatment, I'll build you a hospital for free. The person I've gone to so much trouble to please, the person I cherish and protect, is someone you can bully? If you dare to spout nonsense again, I won't hesitate to cripple you.
Nan Sheng's words, one after another, reached the ears of everyone present in a shocking way. "Wow, that's Xiao Muze! Several buildings on campus were donated by his family."
Xiao Muze's face turned pale and then red. Looking at the people around him, he roared angrily, "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Yin Han's heart trembled when he saw the girl in front of him; she was protecting him again...
