“I don’t want to go hiking either. Li Bo, why don’t you go with Yun Duo?”
Li Bo's leg has healed. His family must have given him a serious talking-to, and he hasn't dared to cause Cheng Yi any more trouble.
He wasn't in a good mood today, and after hearing Jiang Xiaofei's words, his expression darkened even further. He turned to Xu Keke and asked, "Are you going?"
Of course she wouldn't go. Xu Keke had a premonition that something was going to happen today. That car hadn't appeared for a long time; its reappearance today meant it was definitely up to something.
Seeing Xu Keke shake her head, Li Bo looked at her with an expression that said, "I knew it."
He then asked Xiao Han. Xiao Han hesitated; he actually really wanted to go hiking with everyone.
Seeing his hesitation, Cheng Yi smiled at him and said, "Go ahead, I'm not the only one here, don't worry."
"That's right, what are you worried about? My cousin will be here soon, so if you need anything, just have him contact my cousin."
Li Bo had already strode out, turning back to say to Xiao Han indifferently.
Seeing that Xiao Han was carrying his schoolbag and wanted to come with him, Li Bo was finally no longer as angry as before.
He turned to Jiang Xiaofei and said, "Xiaofei, are you really not going? Fine! If you're not going, tell Jin Zhichang to help look after Cheng Yi."
"Come on, Xiao Han, let's go up the mountain. Hurry up, let's catch up with the main group."
Li Bo waved his hand and strode ahead. Xiao Han, a bit chubby, jogged after him, calling out, "Slow down, wait for me!"
Jin Zhichang? What a coincidence. Noticing the gaze behind her, Xu Keke turned around and saw Cheng Yi looking at her thoughtfully.
That's right, Cheng Yi was also there when Officer Chen was talking to me. It seems he thought of that too.
The original owner's mother married a man surnamed Jin. Li Bo once said that his cousin would be returning to Hong Kong soon.
Xu Keke smiled. But Cheng Yi's eyes held a hint of worry as he looked at her. He regretted letting Xiao Han go.
Jiang Xiaofei watched them exchange glances like an outsider. Li Bo wasn't there, and her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
"I'll be going abroad after my exams. Cheng Yi, come visit me next year."
Xu Keke's heart pounded. She was afraid that Cheng Yi would talk to Jiang Xiaofei the same way he used to. What if Jiang Xiaofei got angry and ran away? She definitely couldn't let her go in these mountains. If she chased after her, Cheng Yi would be left alone.
Therefore, Xu Keke looked at Cheng Yi with even more nervousness than Jiang Xiaofei.
"Really? Which country are you going to? Have you decided? What will you study? Which school?"
Xu Keke breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Cheng Yi's words. A smile appeared on Jiang Xiaofei's fair face. She moved forward, getting closer to Cheng Yi.
It seemed that Xu Keke had been isolated and was speaking to Cheng Yi about her plans.
Cheng Yi is a great conversationalist if he wants to have a good chat. He led Jiang Xiaofei through a lot of things.
"By the way, is Lee Bo's cousin from Hong Kong?"
Xu Keke glanced at Cheng Yi, but he was focused on Jiang Xiaofei.
"Not really, their family went there a few years ago. His uncle is in Hong Kong." Jiang Xiaofei didn't really want to talk about Jin Shichang.
“If you really want to, you can come with us this year. I asked around, and you can go there to study high school for a year. If you go, we can look after each other. I want to go with you, not with Li Bo. He's always getting into trouble, and I'm scared.”
Looking at Jiang Xiaofei's slightly lowered profile, the girl's confession was quite unique.
At least it felt real. The reason she chose Cheng Yi over Li Bo was because Li Bo didn't give her a sense of security.
She felt that Cheng Yi was more reliable.
"Li Bo hasn't been fighting lately, and I heard he's been paying attention in class..."
Xu Keke listened as Cheng Yi insincerely spoke well of Li Bo. She then looked at Jin Zhichang, Li Bo's cousin, who was walking towards them.
"What are you talking about?" He walked over, stood outside the blanket, and smiled familiarly at them.
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaofei mention that they were discussing going abroad, Jin Zhichang smiled at Xu Keke and said, "You want to go abroad? If you do, I can help you."
"Really?" Xu Keke exclaimed, feigning surprise. "Great! Of course I want to too!"
“Perfect timing. Xiao Fei and Xiao Bo can go first. You and Cheng Yi can go a year later. You can apply to the same school.”
Jin Zhichang's words made Jiang Xiaofei's expression change. "Brother Zhichang, didn't you say the other day that Cheng Yi could go abroad a year earlier and come with us?"
“Cheng Yi’s studies should be fine, but what about her?” Jin Zhichang pointed to Xu Keke. “Their relationship is quite unusual.”
Jin Zhichang seemed not to notice Jiang Xiaofei's pale face, and even raised his eyebrows at Cheng Yi and Xu Keke, as if he were joking with them.
Jin Zhichang clearly understood Jiang Xiaofei's temperament. With just a few ambiguous words, Jiang Xiaofei's expression changed, and she stood up and ran away.
"Oh no, Xiao Fei must have misunderstood me. You're both girls, why don't you go and talk to her and explain it to her? If you tell her, she'll definitely believe you."
Jin Zhichang looked anxiously at Xu Keke.
Xu Keke shook her head decisively, "I'm not going. She misunderstood what you said, why should I go and explain?"
He glanced in the direction Jiang Xiaofei had run and said, "She's probably waiting for someone to catch up with her. If you don't go soon, she might disappear."
Xu Keke picked up the cucumber and took a bite. She wasn't in a hurry at all.
"It seems you know something?" After staring at Xu Keke for a while, Jin Shichang's expression changed instantly, and he sneered at Xu Keke.
"Since you want to bring him in, I have no objection."
Jin Shichang waved his hand, and several people jumped out from the side, surrounding Xu Keke and Cheng Yi.
"Get up and come with us!"
