Feng Yuankai smiled, too lazy to argue with Ruan Chen.
In fact, given Feng Yuankai's connections, if he wanted, he could present Ruan Chen's past in great detail to her.
But Feng Yuankai would definitely not do that.
Then Bo Nian spoke up, his tone still polite, "Principal Feng, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Feng Yuankai waved his hand magnanimously and nonchalantly, "If I were afraid of trouble, I would have quit this line of work long ago."
After saying that, he looked at his two students with a slightly smug expression, thinking that he could at least move those two troublesome kids.
But the expressions on the faces of these two kids were colder than the other, their eyes were emptier than the other, and they seemed to be daydreaming more and more.
Ruan Chen was the first to notice Feng Yuankai's subtle expectation, and immediately showed a touched expression, wanting to cooperate.
But before she could reach Feng Yuankai's side, bowing respectfully and showering Principal Feng with insincere praise, Bo Nian stood up first.
He lowered his eyes and walked to Feng Yuankai's side, as if the youthful vigor and sharpness that belonged to him had been completely worn away in an instant. He said in a low voice, "Principal, I would like to talk to Ruan Chen alone."
This is Feng Yuankai giving the principal an order to leave his office.
Feng Yuankai hesitated for a moment, then finally got up, took his large thermos, and went out. "You guys talk, you guys talk."
"However..." Before closing the door for the two of them, he asked, "Can I at least ask what you want to talk about?"
“Trade secret,” Bo Nian replied.
Well, not a single word of it was true.
Feng Yuankai stood at the door, resisting the urge to eavesdrop. He walked a little further away and looked down at the students coming and going on the playground with a sense of accomplishment.
“The Bo family is doomed,” Bo Nian stated calmly. “I will drop out of school tomorrow. I know you will definitely interfere, but… please forget about me, and you don’t need to worry about me anymore.”
Ruan Chen raised an eyebrow.
“I know what you said today is true,” Bo Nian’s once sharp eyebrows were now lowered gently. He took off his glasses and threw them on the table, his slender fingers gently rubbing the bridge of his nose. “I’m sorry I didn’t consider your feelings when I chose this place.”
Ruan Chen didn't respond, listening to Bo Nian's rambling on and on, and muttered to herself, "So this kid still wants to die."
"Ruan Chen, you need to learn to be sociable and make more friends while you're at school alone. I know you might not have much in common with most of them, or you might think that socializing and interpersonal relationships are a waste of time..."
Ruan Chen was a little distracted and didn't pay attention to what Bo Nian was rambling on about, but she did find that Bo Nian actually knew her quite well.
"That's all." Bo Nian earnestly explained everything he could think of to Ruan Chen, walked to her side, and raised his hand.
He hesitated for a moment, then placed his hand on Ruan Chen's head and rubbed it hard.
Soft, fluffy, and warm, like some kind of incredibly comforting little animal.
Ruan Chen's body instinctively wanted to grab Bo Nian's hand and throw him away. His muscles tensed up for a moment, then relaxed, barely managing to endure Bo Nian's ministration.
Bo Nian was unaware of Ruan Chen's inner thoughts; he only felt a bitter ache welling up inside him.
"Have you touched enough?" Ruan Chen finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked up, slightly turned her head, and stared at Bo Nian with her clear, bright pupils.
Bo Nian awkwardly withdrew his hand, "Sorry."
Then he bent down and picked up the glasses on the table, thinking, perhaps this is goodbye.
“Well… Bo Nian,” Ruan Chen finally spoke, “if you’re going to die this time, remember to die far away and don’t make too much of a scene, so that the other students won’t feel comfortable.”
Ruan Chen's expression was cold, and her tone was icy, completely unlike the gentleness she had shown on the radio earlier.
After saying that, she didn't even bother to look at Bo Nian's astonished and helpless expression. She got up, pushed him aside, and walked towards the door.
“Ruan Chen!” Bo Nian grabbed her arm.
"Is there anything else?" Ruan Chen pushed him away forcefully. She was genuinely angry, her tone filled with rage. "Don't you want to die? Then hurry up and go. What are you dawdling around with me for?"
"I..." This was the first time Bo Nian had seen Ruan Chen lose her temper, and it was because of him. He instinctively tried to coax her.
"roll."
Just as Ruan Chen was about to open the door, Bo Nian finally spoke up, "Someone is threatening me! Ruan Chen, believe me, I would never do something as cowardly as trying to kill myself!"
He shouted it out in a low voice.
Ruan Chen had her back to him, her fingertips resting on the door lock, and she smiled gently.
But when Ruan Chen turned around again, her expression was still cold, and her eyes were still filled with impatience.
"You'd rather die than be forced to do something? Bo Nian, you're really something. Are you short of money or something to do? Tell me." Ruan Chen subconsciously reached for Feng Yuankai's armchair, but stopped halfway and sat down on the sofa instead.
Bo Nian noticed that her tone was nothing like that of a student; her demeanor was as steady as a mountain, her words carrying weight, as if Ruan Chen could truly resolve the issue once she spoke.
“This is not something that students like you and me can solve,” Bo Nian said in a low voice. “Even the Ruan family or the Ye family couldn’t do it, let alone our small Bo family.”
Ruan Chen completely ignored Bo Nian's self-pity and extracted the key information.
In Jingzhou, the Ruan and Ye families are people you can't afford to offend.
Suddenly, the list she had seen after hacking into the school's back office flashed through her mind.
The first place winner of this National Physics Competition... Nan Liushui.
Ruan Chen had never heard of this person before. If this person had the ability to win first place in the National High School Physics Competition, Ruan Chen would definitely have heard of her name at least once.
This person's first place came too suddenly.
The face of an elder who always looked at her with a good temper and joked with her reappeared in her mind—Nan Jing?
Director of the First Military Academy Research Institute.
What a coincidence that they share the same surname.
If it is these people, the Ruan and Ye families should indeed be wary and avoid their sharp edge, while the Bo family has no chance of resisting them.
Ruan Chen couldn't believe that Nan Jing would do such a thing.
Even if it turns out that Nan Liushui and Nan Jing are involved in this matter, she would rather believe that Nan Jing was unaware of it.
Ruan Chen slowly uttered the name, "Nan Liushui...is this the person?"
Bo Nian's expression did indeed change slightly. "Ruan Chen, I already told you not to get involved. Those people are not people our families can fight against!"
"Even if his family is connected to the research institute, is it really necessary to force someone to their death for a worthless spot? And you just said the Bo family is finished, what, was that also someone else spouting nonsense?"
