"Hello."
In the lobby, Qi Yan raised his gaze from the pages of the "Leto Daily" and found that there were several people of similar age standing in front of him.
The one who was speaking was standing in the middle of them.
He didn't know any of them.
Qi Yan lowered his head again and looked at the time - it was not convenient for Monger to leave for too long.
"You ignored me... are you angry?" Jiang Qi bit his lower lip and said guiltily, "Don't be angry, I had something to deal with that day, and my father was very busy and was not in Leto, so we didn't go to Star Harbor to pick you up." Tan Rui,
who was standing next to Jiang Qi, saw that Qi Yan didn't even raise his head, and said impatiently: "Jiang Qi didn't deliberately not go to Star Harbor to pick you up, he really had something to do that day," he raised his eyebrows with a little pride, and pretended to be calm and took it. "The Turan College admission letter has come, and he and I have to go register, so we're delayed."
Xia Zhiyang, who was standing by, made an exaggerated expression as if he had a toothache, and interrupted, "Let's not talk about anything else. When I entered Turan last year, it took me less than five minutes to register on the Star Network. Did Turan change the process this year? Or, are you different from everyone else? It takes five minutes to simply register your information. Hours?"
Tan Rui glared at Xia Zhiyang with a bad face: "You——"
Xia Zhiyang threw up his hands and sneered: "What about me? Did I say something wrong?"
Jiang Qi then pulled Tan Rui's sleeve: "It's my fault. No matter what happened that day, I should have gone to Star Harbor."
Tan Rui felt unfair for Jiang Qi: "I just didn't go to pick him up. Why do you have to apologize carefully? He turned his face away and didn't go home to live, causing you to be scolded by your mother, why didn't you Did you see him compensate you?"
Jiang Qi pursed his lips, a trace of grievance flashed across his face, and he pulled Tan Rui again to calm things down: "I'm fine, it's not like I haven't been scolded before, don't say anything."
He looked at Xia Zhiyang again and explained seriously: "There was an accident on the day we logged into the system, so it took a lot of time."
What annoyed Xia Zhiyang the most was Jiang Qi's aggrieved look of being bullied, he rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention.
Jiang Qi curled up his hands hanging at his side and looked at Qi Yan who had been silent: "You... do you believe me?"
If Qi Yan answered that he believed, it would be a slap in Xia Zhiyang's face. If Qi Yan answered that he didn't believe, it would be even better.
Qi Yan ignored Jiang Qi and looked at Xia Zhiyang instead: "You know him, who is he?"
Xia Zhiyang had just picked up a glass of juice and was drinking it. After hearing Qi Yan's question, he almost burst out laughing.
Jiang Qi was also stunned.
"Hahahaha! This is indeed a good question!" Xia Zhiyang inexplicably felt a little sorry for Jiang Qi. Not only did he bring his followers to act together, but he also bit his lips and was depressed, with all the micro-expressions.
In the end, he asked, who is he?
Chen Mingxuan, who was holding the game terminal, also curled his lips.
"Brother, I'm Jiang Qi, your younger brother." Jiang Qi felt lost for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "You're mad at us, so you pretend not to know me, right? Although we haven't lived together, in my heart, we've always been a family!"
Qi Yan supported his chin with his hand, revealing a piece of snow-white fabric at the cuffs of his black suit. His left hand rested on the wooden armrest of the chair, and he naturally showed a sense of dignity.
He tapped his fingertips twice casually: "I'm an only child. In addition, I won't get angry at anyone or anything that's irrelevant."
Jiang Qi stood there, his body a little stiff.
However, Tan Rui was irritated by Qi Yan's gesture and expression. He felt that the snow-white cuffs were particularly glaring. He said in a light tone, "Is the clothes custom-made by Debo?" He smiled contemptuously, "This should be the first time in your life that you have taken off those cheap fabrics produced on the assembly line and put on these expensive hand-sewn clothes, right? What do you think? Is it because you have worn good clothes, seen good things you have never seen before, and eaten food you have never eaten before, that you are unwilling to go back to the remote planet where you lived before?"
The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Qi said at the right time, "Don't say it, he... he is my brother after all, he was just joking."
Although he said so, he felt particularly happy in his heart.
He was the young master who grew up in the Qi family with fine clothes and delicious food. Why did all those people focus on Qi Yan?
Why did this person make his mother lose her composure as soon as she appeared, and steal all his limelight?
Tan Rui continued to talk to himself: "Oh, by the way, maybe you don't even know about Turan Academy. Let me put it this way, you came from a remote planet, and it is impossible for you to be admitted to Turan in this life or the next!"
He raised his eyebrows and said in a long voice: "Oh, not necessarily."
Tan Rui wiped the non-existent dust on his collar with his fingers: "Daydreaming may be faster."
Several laughs immediately rang out around.
At the same time, a middle-aged woman with a serious face walked in from the gate.
Jiang Yunyue greeted her with a big smile: "Principal Caroline! Long time no see."
Caroline was wearing a simple black dress. She nodded and said: "Sorry, I'm late."
Jiang Yunyue said quickly: "No, I'm very honored that you can come."
At this time, a burst of laughter came from the corner, attracting the attention of many people in the hall.
Jiang Yunyue saw Caroline also looking over and smiled: "My son is chatting with his friends. He just got admitted to Turan College this year."
"So that's it."
Suddenly, Caroline's eyes fixed and saw the person sitting on the chair clearly. She turned to Jiang Yunyue and said, "Sorry, I saw someone I know. Excuse me."
Jiang Qi was the first to notice Caroline approaching.
Caroline is the vice president of Turan College, in charge of administration. After Jiang Yunyue sent out the invitation, she received a reply from Caroline's assistant, saying that Caroline might not be able to attend that night. Jiang Qi was a little disappointed.
Someone next to him bumped Jiang Qi's arm, and his voice was full of envy: "Jiang Qi, you are so proud that even Principal Caroline came to attend your celebration!"
Jiang Qi tried hard to restrain himself, but a smile still appeared at the corner of his mouth. He maintained a calm tone: "I'm not that great. The principal came only because of my parents."
Tan Rui was also very excited.
Seeing Caroline approaching, he put on his most appropriate smile: "Hello, my name is Tan Rui, I am the vice president of Turan Academy--"
Caroline approached but she passed them directly and stopped in front of Qi Yan, stretched out her right hand wearing a black lace glove, and said gently: "Hello, I am Caroline, the vice president of Turan Academy."
Qi Yan gently held the hand that Caroline held out to him, and replied politely, "Hello, I'm Qi Yan."
Caroline took her hand back, and smiled, "When he heard that you were here, the principal called me twice and asked me to come and see you. He was worried that you would not be used to Leto after just returning. He was also thinking about the last attack and whether it would leave a shadow on you."
Qi Yan shook his head, "I'm fine. Has the principal recovered from his fracture?"
"It's been well for a long time," Caroline complained deliberately, "but he always uses the excuse that his arm hasn't fully recovered to leave school affairs to us to deal with, and he himself is very relaxed every day."
Jiang Yunyue, who came with Caroline, listened to the two people's greetings, his face was slightly stiff, and then he smiled generously: "Principal Caroline knows Qi Yan?"
Caroline asked Qi Yan in confusion: "Don't they know?"
She turned to Jiang Yunyue, "Qi Yan is a student of Turan Academy. He will be a sophomore at the start of the semester, majoring in artificial intelligence."
"Are you also a student of Turan?" If you listen carefully, you will find that Jiang Qi's last tone is trembling slightly.
Tan Rui clenched his fists and said harshly: "Yes, he has never appeared in Turan."
"This is the principal's arrangement."
Caroline did not answer their questions, and looked at Qi Yan again: "The principal and I are looking forward to seeing you in Turan when school starts." She betrayed the principal without hesitation, "By the way, there is a special library in the library, which contains paper books collected by the principal in recent years. If you are interested, you can ask the principal for the password."
Qi Yan nodded: "Okay, I remember it, thank you."
After Caroline left this corner and walked away, Xia Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the table without caring about his image, "The vice-president is really scary! He is even more terrible than the principal. "They look scary!" He also whispered to Qi Yan, "Tan Rui and Jiang Qi, when Principal Caroline came, they were so angry that they were about to vomit blood!"
Qi Yan thought for a moment, "Why did they vomit blood?"
Carefully observing Qi Yan's expression, he found that he was really confused. Xia Zhiyang was stunned for two seconds, then leaned back suddenly, trying hard to suppress his laughter, his shoulders shaking, "Hahahaha! If I were them, I wouldn't be so angry that I would vomit blood, I would vomit three liters of blood on the spot!"
At this time, Qi Yan found that while the people in the hall were attracted by Caroline, Mengge re-entered the hall from the side door.
Picking up the water and taking a sip, Qi Yan thought, it seems that the conversation has ended, and Lu Fenghan should be back soon.
Since Caroline was talking to Monger, everyone knew better than to go over and disturb them.
Tan Rui leaned against a round table, looking at Qi Yan from a distance: "Jiang Qi, are you willing to accept this?"
Jiang Qi also glanced in the direction of Qi Yan and smiled bitterly: "After all, he is my brother."
Tan Rui was very upset and sneered: "You treat him as a relative, but he may not. He was late just now, maybe he did it on purpose to affect your impression in the eyes of Colonel Monger. You are just stupid, and you still help him cover up and apologize for him."
Jiang Qi lowered his head, and after a while he whispered: "But Tan Rui, what's the way, you know, my mother asked me to please him and fight with him. "
Tan Rui was silent, and the heavy sight suddenly fell on the desktop furnishings aside, and asked Jiang Qi:" That 'the sound of the forest "was bought by your dad last year?" The gem and diamonds are inlaid, only the slap is large ,
the thickness is less than one centimeter, and it has been placed in the hall as a decoration. A few laps. At this moment, someone suddenly took the silver fork from his hand from behind and put it aside: "Aren't you afraid of getting your hand stabbed?" A strong breath full of aggression surrounded him. Qi Yan sniffed subconsciously - a very faint smell of... cigarettes. Lu Fenghan was just outside, smoking? Qi Yan did not touch the silver fork again, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Fenghan: "You are back." Lu Fenghan sat back in his original position, "Yes, I am back." Qi Yan nodded, "Then let's go." His purpose of coming here has been achieved. Seeing Qi Yan raise his hand again and loosen his black bow tie, Lu Fenghan asked him: "What's wrong?" Qi Yan frowned slightly: "Stuffy." Did he feel that the floral scent in the air was too strong and stuffy and uncomfortable? Lu Fenghan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a spoiled little girl. The two stood up, Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan were not ready to stay any longer, and followed Qi Yan towards the door. When they were only a few steps away from the door, Tan Rui suddenly strode over: "Stop! Do you want to leave after taking the things?" His voice was not low, and soon everyone's attention was focused on him, including Colonel Monger and Principal Caroline. Delighted, Tan Rui quickened his pace to catch up with Qi Yan, and stretched out his hand to grab Qi Yan's wrist. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly clamped halfway. When he looked up again, he saw a tall and imposing man standing steadily beside Qi Yan, with his five fingers clasped on his outstretched arm, like cast iron. After a sharp pain, his fingertips went numb, and the blue blood vessels on his arms swelled up. Tan Rui wanted to shake it off, but found that he was frozen in place, not daring to move at all, and couldn't make a sound. In less than half a minute, his back was soaked. Jiang Qi, who was following behind, saw that Tan Rui was restrained, and hurriedly said: "Please let him go! He is just too impatient!" Jiang Yunyue came over and answered at the right time: "Jiang Qi, what happened?" Jiang Qi bit his lower lip and looked away: "Mom, nothing happened." "Is there anything you can't tell?" Jiang Yunyue patted Jiang Qi's shoulder gently and said, "If there is anything, you must tell it, tell Mom and Dad." Jiang Qi looked at Tan Rui, as if he couldn't bear it, and said rather embarrassedly: "I just found out that the 'Forest Voice' that Dad bought last year is missing." Jiang Yunyue was surprised and couldn't help shouting: "'Forest Voice' is missing?"
"Yes," Jiang Qi nodded, "Tan Rui said... he saw Qi Yan passing by the table and seemed to pick up something. He also found that Qi Yan was about to leave, so he chased after him in a hurry."
After saying that, he looked past Tan Rui and Xia Zhiyang and saw Qi Yan.
Qi Yan looked back calmly, with delicate and clear eyebrows and a cold expression.
"How is it possible? How could Qi Yan steal something?" Jiang Yunyue covered her lips in surprise and exclaimed, and then confirmed again, "Could it be that Tan Rui saw it wrong?"
People around gathered around, and there were whispers of discussion.
Under Lu Fenghan's extremely oppressive aura, Tan Rui swallowed his saliva, "Am I seeing things? Just search Qi Yan's pockets and you'll know."
Xia Zhiyang looked grim, "Tan Rui, don't be shameless!"
"Are you guilty of being a thief?" Tan Rui snorted, "Sure enough, you are from a remote planet. You have never seen good things, so you want to steal them secretly when you see them! If you have the ability, you--" Before
he finished speaking, he saw Qi Yan took out a palm-sized thing from his clothes pocket and shook it, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Tan Rui did not expect Qi Yan to take it out himself. He glanced at Mrs. Caroline's serious expression and was a little excited, "Sure enough, you stole the things!"
At this time, the hand that was clamped on his arm was suddenly withdrawn.
Lu Fenghan glanced at Qiyan's expression to make sure that he was not crying, then he chuckled and asked, "Have you finished what you want to say?"
Tan Rui moved his numb arm and raised his chin: "The physical evidence is here, are you still trying to make excuses? You have no shame!"
Lu Fenghan did not speak, but lowered his head and lazily clicked a few times on the personal terminal.
After a few seconds, a beam of blue light flashed, and everyone present recognized that it was a video projection.
A picture was projected into the air and began to play.
The moment he saw the content of the picture clearly, Tan Rui's pupils shook violently!
The picture showed Qiyan's back, as if he was walking through the crowd.
After a while, someone suddenly approached Qi Yan and quietly stuffed a palm-sized object into his suit pocket, then quickly left.
Lu Fenghan turned off the projection.
"I'm so sorry, as a bodyguard, my personal terminal has always had the video function turned on." Lu Fenghan was at his ease, admiring the sudden change in the expression on Tan Rui's face and Jiang Qi's pale face, and sincerely made a suggestion.
"You can study the two courses "Micro-expression Psychology" and "Micro-expression Performance" seriously. If Turan Academy does not offer these courses, then make good use of the Star Network."
