Xu Zhe's words contained an element of spite.
She has always been obedient and never willful. She was really angry that Xu Zhengxi was too authoritarian. It was one thing for him to interfere with her friendships, but now he even interfered with her college application choices!
When she arrived at the bookstore, she saw the person standing in front of the bookshelf reading a book as soon as she entered.
With thick black hair, delicate features, and wearing only a clean white T-shirt, he exudes a confident and clear youthful spirit.
Completely different from Xu Zhengxi's calm and domineering demeanor.
Xu Zhe walked towards him.
"Qin Yuyang," she called softly.
Upon hearing the voice, the boy immediately looked up from his book. Seeing Xu Zhe, his gentle face broke into a warm smile.
He pointed to the drink counter in the bookstore, and Xu Zhe nodded and followed him there.
Qin Yuyang bought Xu Zhe's favorite milk tea and took her to the lounge area outside the bookstore.
"I heard from your homeroom teacher that you were admitted to Nancheng University?"
The first thing Qin Yuyang asked after sitting down was this question.
Xu Zhe lowered his eyes, staring at the water droplets condensed on the inside of the milk tea cup, and nodded silently.
How could that be?
Qin Yuyang's gaze remained gentle as he looked at her, but now it held a hint of confusion and disappointment.
"My family made the choice for me."
Xu Zhe kept his head down, avoiding eye contact.
"Family members, were they chosen by your brother?"
Qin Yuyang knew that her brother was a big shot in Beidu and even H country.
Despite her special status, her brother always makes time to attend parent-teacher meetings and is quite strict with her studies and upbringing.
Xu Zhe nodded again.
Qin Yuyang didn't ask any further questions. Since it was a decision made for her by her parents, there must have been consideration from the elders.
"Our schools are in the south and the north respectively, so we'll have to wait until winter or summer vacation to see each other again."
Qin Yuyang forced a lighthearted laugh, but his tone betrayed his disappointment.
He and Xu Zhe were the first and second place students in their grade at the strongest high school in Beidu.
The two were evenly matched and took turns topping the rankings.
In Teacher Lian's eyes, they were a golden couple with excellent grades who brought honor to the school.
Qin Yuyang enjoyed being recognized in this way. He and Xu Zhe got along very well and had endless things to talk about, even just about their studies.
They agreed to go to Beidu University together to study chemistry, a subject they both loved.
He had planned to confess his feelings to her on the day he enrolled in school.
Unexpectedly, plans don't always go as expected.
Xu Zhe did not respond to his words.
She knew that she had left Beidu with Xu Zhengxi this time, and he wouldn't let her come back alone until he was transferred back.
Therefore, it is actually very difficult for Qin Yuyang to meet during winter and summer vacations.
Seeing that Xu Zhe was not speaking, Qin Yuyang assumed that she was sad about not being able to go to Beidu University.
He continued to ease the tension:
"Or I can go to Lingnan to see you. Nancheng University has been rated as the most beautiful campus in H country."
Qin Yuyang's eyes were bright and clear, and his smile was pure. Thinking of their strolls on campus, a sweet smile spread across his face.
Xu Zhe lowered his head, suddenly unable to face him.
Qin Yuyang was too sincere and wonderful to her, especially after that night, she knew she was different.
For her, Lingnan was nothing but fear...
Just then, a familiar yet clear and cold voice rang out:
"That's not necessary!"
The two of them turned to look at each other at the same time, and there stood Xu Zhe, the brother Qin Yuyang had mentioned, standing right next to them.
"Zhengxi... Brother."
Xu Zhe hurriedly stood up and walked to the man's side like a puppet on a string.
In front of Qin Yuyang, she tried to cover up her mistake by calling him "brother".
"elder brother?"
Xu Zhengxi's cold expression grew even colder.
Qin Yuyang also stood up:
"Hello, Brother Xu Zhe, my name is Qin Yuyang, and I am Xu Zhe's classmate."
Faced with Xu Zhengxi's imposing presence without anger, Qin Yuyang remained calm and polite.
"Study hard, Qin."
Xu Zhengxi glanced at the child, then took Xu Zhe's hand and turned to leave.
Xu Zhe let him lead the way, and hurriedly waved goodbye to Qin Yuyang.
Qin Yuyang stood still, the wind lifting the corner of the boy's clothes and stirring up the emotions hidden in his heart.
A bulletproof official vehicle was parked on the side of the street.
Xu Zhe felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed Xu Zhengxi had come directly from official business.
She got into the car with trepidation.
The two remained silent the entire way.
Xu Zhe's fingertips dug deeply into his palm, and he dared not move as he watched the scenery along the way.
Finally, the official car drove into the familiar gate of her courtyard and stopped in front of the villa's porch.
Xu Zhengxi helped her out of the car, where the butler and servants were already lined up at the gate to greet her.
"Young Master, Miss Zhe."
Butler Zhou came up to greet them.
Xu Zhengxi took Xu Zhe's hand and walked into the house, heading straight for the study.
His study is the largest suite in the entire villa.
There are three large rooms connected together, inside and out.
The outermost room was the council chamber, the middle room was a large library, and the innermost room was his office.
Xu Zhe was most afraid of entering his study. If his grades dropped or he came home late, he would be called in for a lecture.
Hsu Cheng-hsi does not use corporal punishment, but she is very good at psychologically disciplining people.
This was even more painful for her than physical punishment.
Xu Zhe followed him into the study, passed through the council chamber, and entered the library.
Surrounded by rows of floor-to-ceiling mahogany bookshelves, Xu Zhe thought he was going to be punished by making him stand here again.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhengxi did not stop this time, but instead took her hand and continued walking towards the innermost room.
She dared not ask any more questions and could only follow him into the house she had never been to before.
Xu Zhengxi's private office area, like his public image, is neat and meticulous.
Xu Zhe looked around at the furnishings in the room. It turned out that this was the place in this house where he had spent the most time.
Unaware of the danger closing in...
Hsu Cheng-hsi is going to punish this child here who doesn't know his own limitations and has the leisure to visit out of curiosity.
He grabbed her slender waist from behind with a large hand, and with a little force, lifted her up and pressed her onto the large rosewood desk.
The sudden turn of events caused Xu Zhe to gasp in surprise.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself pressed down on a wide tabletop.
"Zhengxi?!"
Her voice trembled slightly.
"You're not calling me 'brother' anymore?"
Xu Zhengxi leaned down and kissed her earlobe.
Sure enough, he minded how she addressed him in front of her classmates.
Xu Zhengxi's kiss was domineering, and the punishment came crashing down...
