"Hey, you official asshole—"
"Hey, Guan Shiyan."
Shi Youxi stood behind several boys, calling to him expressionlessly. As Shi Youxi approached, the boys instinctively made way for him.
"Guan Shiyan," Shi Youxi called out impatiently again.
Guan Shiyan reacted and raised his hand: "Here!"
He walked with his head held high, bypassing the wall of people, and ran to Shi Youxi.
Shi Youxi threw the notebook on the ground, said, "It's too heavy, you carry it," and left without looking back.
Guan Shiyan nimbly grabbed the laptop bag and followed closely behind, leaving the boys bewildered in the wind.
"Damn! This kid really managed to get in with the Shi family?"
"Damn it, looks like I'll have to be careful when dealing with that kid in the future."
...
The violinist Musk hired was one of his students, a quirky and aloof teenager.
Perhaps because of their similar conditions, he and Shi Youxi cooperated very well.
Musk joined in, and after the three played together several times, Shi Youxi left despite Musk's attempts to persuade him to stay.
Shi Youxi sent a message to Mu Yiran half an hour ago, and if nothing unexpected happens, she should be waiting for him at the school gate now.
But his sister didn't reply to his message. Shi Youxi felt a sudden unease. Just as he was about to call Mu Yiran, he saw the Maybach parked in a familiar spot.
Shi Youxi quickened her pace and walked over, but was stopped by a resistance just before she reached the car.
The boy turned his head in confusion to look at Guan Shiyan, who had been following him for who knows how long.
"Shi, you ran too fast... Whew, I forgot about your... computer." Guan Shiyan, panting heavily, shoved the computer bag into Shi Youxi's hands.
"Oh, right, I also brought you your favorite cheese candy. Wait a minute." Guan Shiyan was afraid that he would run away again, so he hurriedly took out the specially wrapped gift box from his schoolbag.
Shi Youxi raised her eyebrows as she looked at the two boxes of candy he had taken out. "Why are the two boxes different?"
"Two, one is for you, and the other is... for Sister Mu, Miss Mu."
Guan Shiyan smoothed the crumpled wrapping paper a few times, feeling embarrassed. "Thank you, Miss Mu, for the tornado potatoes last time."
Aside from the overly spicy and pungent sauce, the sausages that were as hard as plastic, and the potatoes that were as soft as chewing gum, everything else was delicious. Although he had diarrhea all night, Guan Shiyan knew it was his own fault.
"Thank you for your help today, Shi..."
He became increasingly embarrassed as he spoke, and simply handed the cardboard box over.
At the same time, the rear door of the Maybach beside the two slowly opened.
The two boys outside the door both thought the person in the car was Mu Yiran, and they both smiled.
Upon seeing the people in the car, Shi Youxi's upturned lips froze.
The woman's voice was soft and gentle, yet it sent a chill down Shi Youxi's spine.
"Xiao Xi, I'm back."
Shi Youxi's face was stiff, and his whole body felt as if it were frozen in ice, his body trembling slightly.
"Mother...."
Mother is back...
Where is my sister?
Bai Shengsheng stepped out of the car gracefully. She had exquisite makeup and wore a white off-the-shoulder dress with subtle embroidery, her long curly hair cascading down her back.
As innocent as a young girl just entering society.
Guan Shiyan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with surprise, and after hearing Shi Youxi's address to her, he quickly bowed and greeted her.
"Hello, Auntie, I am Shi's classmate, and my name is Guan Shiyan."
Bai Shengsheng put her arm around Shi Youxi's shoulder and smiled gently, "Hello, I saw you chatting with Xiaoxi for a long time just now, is something wrong?"
"Ah, I brought Shi his favorite candy."
As an illegitimate son, Guan Shiyan was not qualified to attend official social occasions and was extremely nervous in front of these "important figures".
If she accidentally said the wrong thing, her father would definitely scold her.
So he grabbed Shi Youxi's hand, who had been silent all along, and shoved the cardboard box into his hand.
"Um, it seems like there's a gas leak in my house, I'll be going now, Auntie."
"See you tomorrow, Shi!"
Shi Youxi: "........."
Bai Shengsheng chuckled softly. She affectionately stroked Shi Youxi's hair. The boy had nothing but a faint fragrance about him.
Bai Shengsheng's eyes darkened: "Your classmate is so cute."
Shi Youxi snapped out of his reverie. He sensed that Bai Shengsheng was acting somewhat differently now. He slowly looked up at Bai Shengsheng and asked, "Mother...you are now..."
Bai Shengsheng sighed softly, put her arms around Shi Youxi's shoulders, and hugged him. "Yes, my condition has stabilized a bit, and I'm quite lucid now."
"It's been two months since we last met, and I miss you so much, Xiaoxi."
Shi Youxi stood stiffly for a while before climbing onto Bai Shengsheng's back. His eyes were already red and swollen. He gently inhaled the scent of Bai Shengsheng and let out a long breath.
"I...miss my mother very much too."
"Get in the car first."
Meanwhile, at Blue Mountain Manor.
Mu Yiran, who was supposed to set off to pick up Shi Youxi, was stopped by the housekeeper, who led her to the living room in the backyard.
A tall man was sitting there.
Mu Yiran walked over, and based on her memory, she recognized the man at a glance.
That face was exactly the same as Shi Yan's face in the family photo of the Shi family that Mu Yiran saw before she transmigrated.
His father, Shi Yan, doesn't look like Shi Youxi at all.
Following the instructions the housekeeper had given her on the way, Mu Yiran bowed and said, "Hello, sir, I am the nanny who takes care of the young master's daily life."
Shi Yan crossed his legs and sat elegantly on the sofa. He shifted his gaze from the documents on his lap and his deep, captivating eyes swept over Mu Yiran.
He raised an eyebrow when he saw her wearing an unusually revealing dress.
Don't laugh, don't say anything.
You and Bai Shengsheng have only yourself to blame for raising your son to be a yandere with such a peculiar fetish.
"Miss Mu?"
Mu Yiran clasped her hands together on her lower abdomen, her face stiff with a smile, her gaze unwavering: "Yes, sir."
"Axi's recent performance has been quite good; it seems you've been taking good care of him."
Mu Yiran chuckled and said, "Sir, you flatter me. Young Master is excellent at everything he does."
Do you even need to tell me?
I take excellent care of Dingding, of course. Look at what kind of birdseed you fed him before!
Shi Yan nodded slightly, it was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed. His tone was indifferent, and the topic he asked seemed to be "What's on the menu for lunch today" rather than his son's physical and mental health.
"Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll go pick up the young master from school now?"
Shi Yan's attention returned to the documents, and without looking up, he said, "No need, his mother has already gone to pick him up."
who?
Bai Shengsheng?!
That's right, with Shi Yan here, Bai Shengsheng naturally returned as well.
but?
She dared to put herself on the street even though she was better!
However... Mu Yiran thought again, given how much Shi Yan cares about Bai Shengsheng, if Bai Shengsheng wasn't conscious, Shi Yan should be by Bai Shengsheng's side right now.
Although she didn't know what Bai Shengsheng looked like when she was awake, she should be more normal than she had seen in her dreams.
Thinking of this, Mu Yiran felt a little relieved. She bowed and left like a hostess.
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her come out, but the next second Mu Yiran turned around and ran to Shi Yan.
The butler's breath caught in his throat, caught in his throat, he couldn't quite catch his breath: "Miss Mu!"
"Well, the young master has a performance at school next week."
Mu Yiran's abrupt statement clearly left Shi Yan somewhat bewildered. He stared at Mu Yiran without saying a word, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Mu Yiran's fingers were red from fidgeting, but she still insisted, "Mr. Musk told me before that if he and his wife returned to the country, I would let you know and hope you could come and participate."
Shi Yan remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on her.
Mu Yiran didn't dare to breathe loudly, forcing a smile: "Young Master, you play the cello exceptionally well, and you're even in the center position, so..."
"I understand." Shi Yan chuckled softly. "Thank you for telling me, Miss Mu."
Having received his reply, Mu Yiran felt as if she had been granted a pardon and ran off with the steward.
Once back in the front hall, the butler finally let out a sigh of relief. He looked at the person beside him with a troubled expression and said, "Miss Mu, you shouldn't have... sigh."
He shook his head.
Having worked in the Shi family for so many years, the butler couldn't say for sure what Shi Yan's attitude towards Shi Youxi was, but he was pretty close to it.
Although the young master is the master's only son, and the master has always groomed him to be his successor, the master does not like the young master.
The reason... can only be related to the lady.
Mu Yiran pursed her lips and remained silent. This was the first time she had met Shi Yan, and she could tell that he didn't care about her son at all.
She impulsively ran up to Shi Yan and said those things, hoping that he and Bai Shengsheng could fulfill some of their duties as parents.
My father doesn't care for me, and my mother doesn't love me.
If it weren't for Shi Youxi, would she have gone to such lengths?
