For a long time after that, Shi Yan didn't see Sheng Yuan again.

And wait until the next time we meet.

Sheng Yuan really keeps her word and is a stranger to Shi Yan.

…

Shi Yan was surprised when he saw Sheng Yuan appear in his classroom as an exchange student of Tengya.

He stared blankly at the girl standing on the podium.

Then at a certain moment, his eyes met hers.

He noticed that there was a complete unfamiliarity in the way she looked at him - as if they were just meeting for the first time.

Shi Yan woke up instantly, and the words Sheng Yuan had said to him were still fresh in his mind.

She said it herself: "We are just strangers, and we will always be strangers."

then.

Shi Yan withdrew his gaze from Sheng Yuan.

He lowered his eyelashes and continued to work on the exercises in his hands.

Everyone around was curious about this beautiful exchange student, except him, whose cold profile showed indifference.

And after that, Shi Yan also "followed" Sheng Yuan's words - they were strangers.

Therefore, he never took the initiative to say a word to her.

Shi Yan thought that he and Sheng Yuan would remain in this state until her exchange period ended and she left Qingfeng No. 1 Middle School.

But she was the first to "cross the line".

——During the lunch break, she slept on the desk again. Because she was annoyed by the sun, she grabbed his wrist to block the sun.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had done it carelessly, but she had no intention of letting go.

There was no other way, he could only remind her.

Then she released him, too.

Originally, this "episode" should have ended here.

But at this time, she came up to him and asked him if it was boring to do homework every day. She complained that he was a taciturn person who didn't even talk.

In fact, he was in an accident, and they were supposed to be strangers, right? Then why did she still talk to him?

At the same time, he was also angry. The tone in which she spoke to him, as if she were a stranger she had never met before, made him a little... sulky.

…

Well, he just took it as gossip that she said to anyone without making any distinction.

But on the weekend, she took the initiative to walk up to him again and asked him to teach her how to catch dolls.

She obviously didn't really want to catch the doll.

Once, twice, three times.

She was innocent and was just teasing him.

What on earth did she mean...? Shi Yan didn't understand.

Then, he didn't understand why when the so-called uncle named Zeng Huaihe came to his house and threatened and bribed him to destroy his grandmother Song Zhen's old house, he agreed to her "deal" even though he was not short of money.

…

When he carried her back, she suddenly asked if anyone had ever told him that he had beautiful eyes.

Of course there are.

And one and only one person said this.

This person...isn't it her?

But he finally replied - no one said that.

She is angry.

The beautiful face turned cold.

However, he secretly felt somewhat happy.

——Didn’t they agree to be strangers? What happened before and what was said didn’t count, so why was she unhappy when he answered no.

* Chaohe District, private villa complex.

The weather is very strange.

It was sunny an hour ago, but now there are signs of heavy rain.

"I'm sorry, classmate. Our young lady went back to her room to rest as soon as she got home. She told me not to see any visitors. If you have anything to give me, you can give it to me. I will pass it on to her for you when she is well rested."

Shi Yan was silent for two seconds and then said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

"No trouble, take your time."

The housekeeper held a bank card in his hand and watched Shi Yan leave, with a hint of worry on his face.

No cars from outside are allowed in without permission, and people can only enter and exit on foot. It was about to rain, and the boy didn't even bring an umbrella.

The butler subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the second floor——

At this time, Sheng Yuan, who was supposed to be "resting" in the room, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor.

She watched Shi Yan walk out of the front hall downstairs.

At this moment, huge raindrops fell down, hitting the navy blue and white school uniform on the boy's shoulders. His school uniform was soon getting wet.

Sheng Yuan looked at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her, reflecting her indifferent face.

The umbrella is on the low cabinet next to me.

But she didn't move.

…

Everything in the house belongs to the owner, and no one can make the decision easily.

The housekeeper could only watch Shi Yan walk out in the rain.

He was about to sigh when suddenly, a dark shadow quickly jumped out from his side.

The housekeeper stopped and looked carefully, and it turned out to be Xiaoman!

The strong gray wolf stretched out its limbs, holding a black umbrella in its mouth, crossed most of the garden and caught up with Shi Yan.

It stopped in front of Shi Yan and put the umbrella in Shi Yan's hand. It didn't run back until Shi Yan reached out and took the umbrella.

Housekeeper accident.

——In this world, the only one who can order Xiaoman around is the eldest lady.
