The next morning, Ruan Bei didn't bring Dong Yangyang any steamed buns for school.
A blind, stinky man obsessed with beauty doesn't deserve to eat his steamed buns!
Dong Yangyang had gotten to know him well and knew that Ruan Bei wasn't really angry with him, so he joked with a grin, "Hey bro, you're really lucky with the ladies! That girl yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, those legs, that face, that..."
He originally wanted to say "breasts," but then thought it wasn't a good idea. What if it worked out? Wouldn't that mean she'd be his brother's woman?
"Anyway, you know what I mean."
He glanced at Ruan Bei again, then sighed to the heavens, "Ah, if only I had a face like yours! I want pretty girls to wear dresses for me too!"
Ruan Bei sneered: "Are you sure he has breasts?"
Dong Yangyang was led astray, scratching her head as she tried to recall what had happened.
Hey, that pretty girl from yesterday really does seem to have a flat chest!
His beauty was so alluring that he was completely captivated by her face.
"How can you be so shallow!"
Dong Yangyang retorted righteously, "That girl is so nice, she likes you so much, how can you look down on her just because she has flat chest?"
The key point is that she's also so beautiful.
Ruan Bei: "..."
He now strongly suspects that the kid's later decision to study nursing was not, as he claimed, for employment, but rather because he was after nurses!
"He's not only flat-chested."
"Um?"
Ruan Bei curled his lips into a wicked smile: "He also has a bird, which might be bigger than yours when he takes it out."
Dong Yangyang: "...?????????!!!!!!!!!!"
"What do you mean by that?" Dong Yangyang asked incredulously, her eyes glazed over. "Are you lying to me?"
Ruan Bei was delighted and cheerfully replied, "Why would I lie to you? Haven't you seen him before? He's the boy who came to see me a few days ago. You were the one who told me to look for him."
Dong Yangyang's eyes were lifeless, deeply shocked: "...This is impossible."
Ruan Bei happily added insult to injury: "How about a cross-dressing master?"
Perhaps it was because he found happiness in Dong Yangyang, or perhaps it was because his life was so good now that the resentment that had once been hidden deep inside him was dispelled by the love of his family and friends.
When Song Jiaxi came to see him again, Ruan Bei was able to face him quite calmly.
He ignored Dong Yangyang, who was staring intently at Song Jiaxi, and led Song Jiaxi to a milk tea shop to sit down, intending to have a proper talk with him and resolve the matter once and for all.
If Song Jiaxi does this a few more times, the teacher should talk to his parents about his early romantic relationship.
Perhaps because the previous result pleased Song Jiaxi, he wore a skirt again this time, this time a red plaid one.
Seeing that Dong Yangyang was still determined to catch up, Ruan Bei said to Song Jiaxi, "Come on, tell this brother whether you are a boy or a girl."
It was rare for Ruan Bei to be so kind to him and even make a request. Song Jiaxi was overjoyed and, disregarding the opinions of passersby, loudly declared to Dong Yangyang, "I'm a boy!"
To prove himself, he grabbed his ponytail and ripped off his wig.
Dong Yangyang: "..." I'm dead.
Ruan Bei: "...Pfft."
Dong Yangyang got on her bicycle and rode home without looking back, perhaps to soothe the wounded heart of the young man.
Ruan Bei and Song Jiaxi entered the milk tea shop. He ordered himself a lemonade and then asked Song Jiaxi, "What would you like to drink?"
Song Jiaxi quickly reached for her small crossbody bag. She probably realized last time that she didn't have a place to put her phone while wearing a skirt, so she specially bought a small bag this time.
Of course, it's also the kind that's very girly.
"No need, it's on me."
Ruan Bei thought that a year ago he would never have imagined that he would be sitting with Song Jiaxi, calmly drinking milk tea.
He also paid for Song Jiaxi's bill.
However, he was more unwilling to spend Song Jiaxi's money than to invite Song Jiaxi.
He still remembers what Lu Minghai and Lu Siyuan said every time they reprimanded him, and he remembers the behavior of his so-called birth mother, Feng Zhihui.
They said, "The money we've given the Ruan family is enough to support ten of you. What more do they want? Trying to curry favor with the Lu family? Dream on!"
Feng Zhihui said, "They come from a humble family, are petty and greedy, and can't be considered respectable. Fortunately, we raised Sibai very well, and he is not like the Ruan family at all."
She was born into a wealthy family and was a noblewoman.
His biological mother, Song Jiaxi's aunt.
She sat upright while speaking, her posture elegant and beautiful, but in Ruan Bei's eyes she was as ugly as a ghost.
Those words lashed at him like whips, bending his spine and causing him excruciating pain.
He received the money from Lu Minghai, and before he could even enjoy it, he had spent it all, ultimately implicating his parents and sister, who were wantonly trampled on and humiliated.
So later, Ruan Bei gritted his teeth and held his breath, refusing to spend a single penny of the Lu family's money. He kept all the food and supplies in mind, thinking that one day he would pay back all the money.
He will then loudly tell them that his family is the best family in the world, and that he is the most important person in their eyes!
Those wounds left too deep a mark on Ruan Bei's heart, so even if he and Song Jiaxi could sit down and have tea, he had to buy the tea.
Song Jiaxi and he were never on the same side.
The two found a small table in a corner and sat down. Song Jiaxi ordered the same lemonade as him, and while holding her cup, she stole glances at Ruan Bei, her eyes revealing a hint of joy.
Ruan Bei lowered his eyelashes and ignored him. Perhaps Song Jiaxi in this life had a good impression of him for some inexplicable reason and had never done anything to hurt him.
But everything that happened in his past life made it impossible for him to face him with a normal mindset. It's not a matter of forgiveness or not; he simply didn't want to get entangled with those people anymore.
"What grade are you in?" Ruan Bei asked.
He had misunderstood before. Given Song Jiaxi's stubborn and obstinate personality, the more he rejected her, the more she would try to get closer to him.
But he couldn't do anything to Song Jiaxi. If it were that little madman from his previous life, he wouldn't be afraid to fight him directly. But this child was still so immature and hadn't done anything yet. He really didn't know how to deal with him.
Since that's the case, he'll bear with it, treat him like an ordinary person, and stall for time to keep him calm. Once Song Jiaxi is brought back to the Song family, he'll be too busy with trivial matters to bother him.
"I'm in the second year of junior high, I'm fourteen years old, brother!"
Song Jiaxi's eyes lit up, and she tentatively asked in a low voice, "What about you, brother?"
Ruan Bei didn't answer, then asked, "How were your grades?"
Song Jiaxi's face paled, and she lowered her head: "I... I'm okay at math, and I know a little programming, so I can make small games..."
Ruan Bei knew all of this; he knew that Song Jiaxi's grades were average before she was brought back to the Song family.
He understood perfectly. At home, he had a foster father who constantly picked fights with him and used him as a punching bag, turning him into a violent maniac. At school, because he was too delicate and beautiful, the boys looked down on him and wouldn't play with him, and many people bullied him.
If it weren't for those events in her past life, Song Jiaxi would be very easy to sympathize with.
But just thinking about what he had done, Ruan Bei's sympathy vanished completely.
At least Song Jiaxi still has both parents alive, but he has lost his family. What right does he have to sympathize with others?
"I like kids who do well in school, do you understand what I mean?" Ruan Bei said coldly.
Song Jiaxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously after realizing what she meant: "I understand!"
"Then cherish your time and study hard." Don't come looking for me all the time in the future.
Song Jiaxi understood a bit of what Ruan Bei meant, and he pursed his lips, stubbornly asking, "Brother, if my grades improve, can I come to see you?"
"Let's talk about it after you've done your exam."
There's at least a month until the next exam, and Song Jiaxi's grades are still just average, which means we won't be able to see him for a long time.
Having successfully gotten rid of Song Jiaxi, Ruan Bei was in a great mood. He casually said, "I'm leaving now," and left the milk tea shop with his backpack on.
Song Jiaxi chased after him and saw Ruan Bei riding away on his bicycle. Once he could no longer see him, he ran back and took the lemonade that Ruan Bei had bought for him.
After that day, Song Jiaxi indeed didn't come looking for him again, and Ruan Bei was greatly relieved.
In addition, talking to Kunkun on the phone and telling him that she would be back in the next couple of days made Ruan Bei even happier.
On Saturday afternoon, since the next day was a weekend holiday and there was no evening self-study session, Ruan Bei left school early, planning to go shopping while there was still time.
My sister's birthday is coming soon, and since I have some money, I really want to buy her a nice gift.
He subtly probed, scrolling through his sister's social media profiles, including her QQ space, WeChat Moments, and Weibo, and discovered that she had shared a giveaway of a lipstick set, which she seemed to really want, but unfortunately, she didn't win.
That lipstick set cost over three thousand yuan. In the past few years, the family has been struggling financially to buy the shop that Dad opened. Although the two children haven't been short of pocket money, Ruan Xi and Ruan Bei try to be as frugal as possible.
However, now that Ruan Bei is rich, he is very willing to spend money on his family. Madam Ran even gave him pocket money in front of his parents and said she wanted to take him as her godson.
Ruan Bei wanted to buy the lipstick set her sister had her eye on and give it to her as a birthday present; she would definitely be very happy.
Even though he didn't have to attend evening self-study sessions, Ruan Bei would still be out of school around 6 PM. He would take a bus to the shopping district, grab something to eat to fill his stomach, and then go to the counter to look at lipsticks.
He really didn't know much about cosmetics, but luckily he had a clear goal this time, so he just showed the sales assistant the pictures he had saved on his phone.
The whole process of picking up the goods and paying took less than five minutes.
He paid promptly, and the saleswoman even tried to recommend other cosmetics to him, saying his girlfriend would definitely like them.
Ruan Bei refused, both amused and exasperated. She said if she really wanted to buy it, she would bring her sister next time and let her choose what she liked.
As he was about to leave with the paper bag, a very pretty girl walked in.
She was truly the kind of strikingly beautiful woman, with striking and flamboyant features, and a hint of sarcasm in her eyes and brows. Her beauty was almost overwhelming.
Everyone loves beauty. It would be strange not to see someone who is beautiful. Ruan Bei just glanced at her a couple more times, his eyes clear and admiring her beauty.
Then they passed each other and walked straight out.
The girl stopped in her tracks, looked at Ruan Bei's retreating figure, and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
