Atractylodes macrocephala enjoyed a rare peaceful evening.
After receiving that phone call, her aunt and uncle hurriedly left home and didn't return until she finished her homework.
She felt strange, but she didn't care. She was even happy to be able to sleep peacefully. The next day, before the alarm rang, her biological clock, which she had developed over a long period of time, made her open her eyes at six o'clock. Bai Shu quickly got up and subconsciously prepared to change her clothes and go straight to school to study.
She was halfway through getting dressed when she realized she was already on vacation.
She paused for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled. After changing her clothes and leaving the storage room, she discovered that her aunt and uncle had not returned home all night.
Bai Shu frowned, feeling puzzled. She went to the kitchen, made a simple breakfast, ate it, and then slung her backpack over her shoulder to head to the library.
Because of Cheng Yuxuan's targeting, she couldn't study at home. Either there was constant banging and clanging from the next room, or someone was constantly making veiled insults, the insults were harsh and unpleasant.
Fortunately, the county library was only one bus stop away from her home. She had saved up money to get a library card a long time ago. When she didn't have to work at the food stall during the day, she would walk to the library's reading room to study and do her homework.
The library reading room is filled with people who want to read; it's quiet and has an excellent learning atmosphere.
Sometimes she would run into classmates from other schools. Those people were unaware of Cheng Yuxuan's slander against her. When she encountered problems she couldn't solve, she would shamelessly ask for help, and they would all enthusiastically help her.
Bai Shu walked very fast; she arrived at the library entrance as soon as it opened.
I greeted the gatekeeper, whom I already knew well, swiped my card to go inside, skillfully found the best spot near the fan, took out my textbooks, spread them out on the table, and prepared to study.
"Little Bai Shu, you're here so early today? I've seen plenty of kids, but you're the first one who never sleeps in during the holidays and comes to study every day!"
The old man smiled and turned on the fan for her: "With such hard work, you're sure to pass the college entrance exam with flying colors!"
Bai Shu smiled sheepishly: "It's still early."
"Not too early, not too early, three years will pass quickly," the old man said. "I just changed the water bottle in the water dispenser, so I'll come and get water when I'm thirsty. Go study now, and don't forget to turn off your phone volume."
Bai Zhu nodded, took out his phone, and was about to turn the volume down in the settings when a friend request suddenly popped up on the screen.
What friend?
It's probably just another advertisement.
Bai Zhu frowned, preparing to delete the messages, but his hand slipped and he accidentally clicked on that page.
The profile picture is a sunset photo—although the photo has a grand and majestic feel, it must be said that using such a sunset landscape photo as a profile picture…
Generally, it's only those greasy middle-aged people who play with prayer beads and drink green tea.
Bai Shu smiled slightly, then noticed that his nickname was a single, concise word:
"Xi".
Note: [Atractylodes macrocephala, I'm the older brother]
Personal motto: [What's wrong with an arranged marriage? I'm a married man, so single people shouldn't talk to me.]
The accompanying photos on my WeChat Moments were of several classical gardens and mansions.
Source: The other party added the contact through their phone's address book.
Bai Zhu's eyes widened.
Who is this?
Judging from his tone, he sounds just like Xiao Lingchen from yesterday, but...
But why is Mr. Xiao, such a handsome and distinguished person, so strange in his profile picture, contact name, and signature?!
She hesitated for a long time, worried that he might be a scammer, but thinking of the help he had given her last night, she softened and clicked to accept the verification.
Bai Shu was momentarily at a loss for words. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively typed out a message: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xiao?"
