Bao Hui also lost his balance, landing on his bottom and looking up with a pained expression.
He saw a middle-aged man and the dark-skinned boy who had just pulled him standing beside him, with a blonde girl standing next to them.
He is the principal of Ace High School, and his daughter, Aria.
Because of her Chinese heritage, Ailiya also has a Chinese name: Hengqian.
Hengqian is of mixed race and is exceptionally beautiful. She is 12 years old this year, and most importantly, Bao Hui also likes her.
Hengqian walked over with a frown. "Bao Huiyi, are you bullying the new classmate?"
Bao Hui's face turned red. He stammered in front of the girl he liked, and the principal was also there. The Ace Group was an oil tycoon in Liguo, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
So he could only shift the blame: "I didn't, he fell down by himself. I'm going to be late, goodbye principal."
Shi Youxi's dark pupils watched Bao Huiyi's fleeing figure.
Heng Qian had her bodyguard pull Shi Youxi up, and only then did she see Shi Youxi's face clearly.
The boy's eyes were red, and his phoenix eyes were alluring and captivating.
So beautiful....
This was the first time Hengqian had ever seen such a good-looking Asian.
"Are you... are you alright?"
Shi Youxi silently got up, patted his bottom, and checked his backpack for scratches. It was bought for him by his sister, even though she paid with his card.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Hengqian thought he was frightened, so she took the initiative to get closer to the boy and said, "My name is Hengqian, this is my father, the principal of Ace. What's your name?"
Only then did Ai Liqin notice Shi Youxi and immediately recognize the boy. He said in slightly broken Chinese, "You must be Mr. Shi's son."
Shi Youxi was incredibly annoyed. He just wanted to finish this ridiculous ceremony and go find Mu Yiran; these people were still blocking his way. He didn't want to pay them any attention and just leave, but upon hearing his father's name, Shi Youxi still managed a polite smile.
"Hello, I am Shi Youxi."
Hengqian is a sucker for good looks. Even though both Bao Huiyi and Shi Youxi have hoarse and unpleasant voices due to puberty, and Bao Huiyi's voice is simply an eyesore, she thinks Shi Youxi's voice is very pleasant.
“You’re a freshman and don’t know the way yet, right? I’ll take you to the auditorium—” Hengqian tried to grab his arm, but he dodged her.
Shi Youxi bowed slightly to Ai Liqin: "Yes, I know the way, so I'll be going now. Thank you for your help earlier."
After saying that, Shi Youxi turned and left without looking back. Even though he wasn't touched by the girl, he felt his arms were filthy and kept patting his sleeves with both hands.
The auditorium of Ace Middle School was just ahead. Shi Youxi quickened her pace and had just stepped onto the steps when a weak voice interrupted her.
"Um... Shi, classmate Shi"
Shi Youxi kept walking.
"Student Shi!"
This time, Shi Youxi couldn't take it anymore when her arm was completely grabbed.
We're on steps, might as well just push them down and shut them up.
Even with a large crowd, no one will notice.
Shi Youxi acted on his thought. He turned around and pushed, but when he saw the person's face, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly grabbed the person's hand.
Guan Shiyan waved his hands aimlessly, finally managing to regain his balance. He realized that Shi Youxi had pulled him by the collar to prevent him from falling, and looked at him with immense gratitude: "Thank you, Shi classmate."
Shi Youxi: "..."
Shi Youxi stared at his face, his handsome features, his gentle and refined appearance, especially the mole on the tip of his nose, which made the boy look even more aloof and elegant.
Same mole as my sister...
Guan Shiyan swallowed nervously, and it took a lot of courage for him to call out to Shi Youxi.
Just as the rumors said, the young master of the Shi family is indeed very handsome.
He remembered that he was the one who stopped the person, so he took out a band-aid from his pocket and handed it over.
"You, your right hand is injured."
Shi Youxi looked down at her right hand, which was unharmed, but there was a scratch on her left hand, probably from scraping against a shard of glass when she faked the fall.
When Guan Shiyan saw that he still didn't react, his face turned red with embarrassment. He stuffed the band-aid into Guan Shiyan's hand, bowed, and said, "Um, my name is Guan Shiyan. I'm in the same class as you. See you tomorrow... no, wait a minute."
He spoke recklessly, not knowing what he was saying at all, and ran past Shi Youxi towards the auditorium with his schoolbag in his arms.
Shi Youxi lowered his head silently, rubbing the band-aid in his hand. He thought of how the boy had blushed just now, and he looked even more like his older sister.
"Should I call him Guan Shiyan...?"
Behind the tree beside the steps, Bao Huiyi stared at the scene on the steps with a sinister look. He spread out his hands and saw his palms, which were covered in scratches.
That brat Shi Youxi actually resorted to underhanded tactics, cutting him with shards and making him lose face in front of Heng Qian. He's determined to get revenge for this.
However, when did Guan Shiyan get involved with Shi Youxi?
...
Mu Yiran squatted by the stone steps, reading the magazine in her hand and popping a bite into her mouth every now and then, occasionally exchanging thoughts about the taste with the driver through the car window.
She sat in the car for an hour until her butt hurt. So she got out and ate a big meal at a roadside stall near the entrance of Ace Academy. Eating alone was too lonely, so Mu Yiran invited the driver to join her, paying $20 for each meal they ate together.
Of course, this needs to be reimbursed by Shi Youxi.
“honey——”
The older man called out to her, and Mu Yiran stood up in response. Her calves had gone numb from squatting for so long, so Mu Yiran could only waddle over.
The middle-aged man watched her twisted and dark crawling, utterly shocked as he had never seen such a sophisticated maneuver before.
Mu Yiran smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, my legs are asleep."
She moved to the front of the machine and looked at the product that was about to be completed.
The uncle was an Asian man with a full beard. His approachable face led Mu Yiran to spend lavishly on four items here. The one she was about to do was for Shi Youxi.
The middle-aged man scooped up a spoonful of pink dye and asked Mu Yiran, "Honey, what kind of 'mian hua tang' do you want?"
Mu Yiran: "?"
The middle-aged man grinned, like Santa Claus, "I'm from China, we're from the same country, young lady."
Mu Yiran: "..."
Tears welled up in Mu Yiran's eyes as she looked at Mu Yiran, who wiped her sticky lips and said, "Why didn't you say so sooner, Uncle? I wanted a heart-shaped one."
"Is the young lady here to pick up her child?" The old man poured the cum into the heart-shaped mold and, as Mu Yiran requested, added sugar spoonful by spoonful.
"Hmm... little brother." She wasn't as old as Youxi's mother back then.
"It seems the young lady really cares about her brother, having waited here for so long."
How could it not hurt? After all, her economic lifeline was in his hands.
As Mu Yiran watched the food gradually take shape, she could already imagine what Shi Youxi would look like eating it.
Pink is such a perfect match for Shi Youxi.
The middle-aged man turned the chair skillfully, glancing at the girl's unconscious smile without making a sound, and then chuckled.
Mu Yiran finished quickly, and the driver in the car suddenly ran over, "Miss Mu!"
The driver's mouth was still covered in red paste, and he spoke too quickly, spitting out bits of scum from time to time. Mu Yiran and the uncle both took a step back tactically.
"Miss Mu, the housekeeper just informed us that the young master was injured at school and needs you to leave and go inside."
"Injured again?!" Mu Yiran was speechless.
That shouldn't be the case, isn't Tokiji in there too?
Despite her thoughts, Mu Yiran still grabbed the Shi family name tag that the housekeeper had given her when she left and rushed into the school with the driver.
Before leaving, they didn't forget to take it with them.
After showing her name tag to the security guard, Mu Yiran followed the driver into the school. To prevent any outside interference, she called over several security guards.
Led by several black bodyguards, they walked to the back of the auditorium.
Mu Yiran heard the commotion coming from the grove and her heart pounded with fear. Others might not know Shi Youxi's true colors, but she knew them all too well.
Fearing that Shi Youxi was beating someone, she quickened her pace and ran ahead.
As soon as she rushed over, Mu Yiran saw the completely opposite scene.
Shi Youxi was protecting a boy when a boy who looked like a gourd pushed them to the ground and was about to hit Shi Youxi with something in his hand.
"Hey you, the one who looks like a squash! Stop it right now!"
"Don't touch my little beauty!"
