Yan Qingyue stood there in a daze. She could no longer hear any sound, and Xiaohui's words kept replaying in her mind.

She understood each word individually, but had no idea what they meant when put together.

Participate in competitions frequently.

The prize money is hundreds of thousands.

“…”

Therefore, Shi Yan was not short of money at all... and he certainly wasn't short of a mere 300,000 yuan.

When Yan Qingyue realized this, she felt her head buzzing.

"Sister Qingyue, are you okay?"

Xiaohui looked at Yan Qingyue worriedly. He didn't understand why Yan Qingyue's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't say anything scary.

At this moment, Yan Qingyue couldn't even maintain the most basic peaceful expression. She forced a smile and squeezed out two words from her mouth.

"fine."

At this time, a young man came over.

It’s Xiaohui’s brother, Ayin.

Ah Yin greeted Yan Qingyue in a relaxed tone, and then tapped his brother's head with his finger: "I told you to do your homework at the front desk, but you came out to slack off, right? Be careful or I'll tell mom."

Xiao Hui cried out in pain, covered his head, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't slack off, I came out to ask Sister Qingyue to help return the computer to Brother Shi Yan."

After he finished speaking, A Yin noticed the computer bag in Yan Qingyue's hand and was immediately stunned.

After being stunned for two seconds, Ah Yin's expression returned to normal and he said, "The virus on the computers in the store hasn't been fixed yet, why did you return it?"

Xiaohui: “?”

Xiaohui: "What? Didn't you say you already--"

"If I say it's not finished yet, it means it's not finished yet, understand?" Ayin gritted his teeth and interrupted his brother's words, while turning sideways to give him a warning and oppressive look.

Xiaohui shrank his neck when he was stared at and dared not speak anymore.

Ah Yin smiled at Yan Qingyue apologetically: "I'm sorry, Qingyue, I have to trouble you to download the computer for me again. I will give it to Xiaoyan when it is ready."

As he said this, he reached out to Yan Qingyue.

Yan Qingyue had no choice but to hand the computer bag to Ayin.

Ah Yin took the computer and said, "Today is Uncle Yan's birthday. Please say happy birthday to him for me. I won't keep you any longer. It's getting dark at this time. Qingyue, you should go back to school early."

"……good."

Yan Qingyue was ready to leave in a daze.

Just as they walked a distance, Ah Yin suddenly called her again: "Qingyue."

Yan Qingyue turned around in confusion: "Huh?"

Ah Yin asked, "Can you play the violin?"

Yan Qingyue: "What?"

A Yin: "That kind, cello, violin or something like that."

"No." Yan Qingyue shook her head.

She didn't know why Ayin suddenly asked herself this question. Her parents were intentionally cultivating her interests and hobbies, such as painting, calligraphy, and musical instruments. She had also tried them, but she had no talent in these areas and gave up after just a little exposure.

"Okay, I'm just asking." Ah Yin still smiled: "Go back to school quickly, be safe on the road, bye."

Yan Qingyue left.

Xiao Hui was like a bottle with the cork pulled out, and he couldn't wait to pour out his doubts: "Brother, why did you lie to Sister Qingyue? The viruses in our Internet cafe's computers have been cleared."

"Also, why did you ask Sister Qingyue if she can play the violin?"

Ah Yin only replied in a mysterious tone: "Because your sister Qingyue can't play the violin, that's why I said the virus hasn't been completely cleared."

Xiao Hui was full of questions: "Can you speak human language?"

"No, hurry up and do your homework, or I'll tell mom."

"..." Xiao Hui looked disdainful: "Brother, are you an elementary school student? Why do you like to complain so much?"

“1——”

Faced with the "magic weapon", Xiao Hui compromised in a second: "Go ahead, go ahead. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. You stingy guy, humph."

Ayin followed his brother in, and only sat on the chair on the other side after seeing his brother doing his homework honestly.

Of course he wouldn't tell his brother.

Because even if I tell him, this little brat won't understand.

The laptop screen lights up, and an ultra-clear wallpaper appears.

Golden concert hall, under the spotlight.

The girl in a haute couture dress holds the strings of a zither in her left hand and the bow in her right hand, with her head lowered.

In the frozen picture, she seemed to be the center of everyone's attention.

Xiao Hui, who was doing his homework, thought about it but couldn't help it. He looked up and asked A Yin: "Brother, are you worried about Sister Qingyue taking Brother Shi Yan's computer? But Sister Qingyue and Brother Shi Yan have known each other for such a long time."

A Yin snorted and laughed.

It's not a matter of how long we've known each other.

That guy who never reveals his thoughts, yet he sets such a wallpaper on his laptop without any concealment.

It's really surprising.

Actually, there was no need to ask just now.

Because obviously, the person in the wallpaper is not Yan Qingyue at all.

Ah Yin told his brother: "Don't give things to others carelessly in the future, understand?"

Xiaohui automatically understood "thing" to be Shiyan's computer.

So he wondered again, "If even Sister Qingyue can't give it to me, then who can?"

Ah Yin pointed directly at the wallpaper: "The person inside has to come and get it."

* Qingfeng No.1 Middle School.

Because of the evening self-study, the teaching buildings on campus are brightly lit.

Yan Qingyue was out of shape the whole night.

My mind is full of——

Shi Yan is not short of money, Shi Yan is not short of money at all, so why should he accept Sheng Yuan's 300,000, why should he agree to Sheng Yuan's deal.

I can't wait even a quarter of an hour.

After the first class, Yan Qingyue followed Shi Yan without hesitation when he stood up to get some water.

Then the whole person was shaky and asked this question.

"Shi Yan, why...?"

Yan Qingyue looked at Shi Yan with red eyes.

She didn't even know so much about Shi Yan.

He will participate in the competition and he can get so much prize money in the competition.

Shi Yan never mentioned these to her, not even a single word.

Compared to Yan Qingyue's excitement because she felt that something was hidden from her.

Shi Yan looked indifferent.

He didn't care that Yan Qingyue knew about his competition, nor did he care about Yan Qingyue's anger when she questioned him after knowing the truth.

He had no intention of hiding it from Yan Qingyue, but at the same time, he would not deliberately tell Yan Qingyue.

Because he doesn't care at all.

Everyone thought that Shi Yan and Yan Qingyue were neighbors who lived next door to each other and were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, so they believed that the relationship between the two would be closer than that of others.

But in fact, only Yan Qingyue herself knew that Shi Yan treated her no differently than a stranger.

In the past, Yan Qingyue only thought that Shi Yan was just like that because of his personality, he spoke little and was cold.

She had never seen the word "initiative" in Shi Yan.

However, ever since Sheng Yuan appeared, Yan Qingyue realized that Shi Yan could have emotions other than coldness.

Just like now.

Students from other classes also came to fetch water. They started chatting while fetching water and mentioned that Sheng Yuan, an exchange student from Class 1, left school in the afternoon with Shen Han from Class 4.

They were curious about where Sheng Yuan and Shen Han would go and what they would do.

The sound of conversation inevitably reached Yan Qingyue and Shi Yan.

The light above his head flickered. A young boy in white and navy blue school uniform was holding a black water cup in his hand with a watch on. The hair on his forehead had grown a little longer, and his dark eyes, which were never waveless, now looked gloomy.

There was no expression on his cold face, and his voice was low but frank as he admitted, "Because I want to be closer to her."
