He Jingyuan had only given a casual reply, but he hadn't expected the other man to take it to heart. He hesitated slightly and said, "Is it really convenient? Actually, I can just find anywhere to practice by myself..."
“That’s convenient!” Zheng Cheng said cheerfully. “How about we go home after school today? I’ll have my driver take you home when it gets dark.”
He Jing thought for a moment. Since school let out late at No. 1 Middle School today, and she was waiting anyway, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Zheng Cheng was so happy to receive a response that he jumped up and down without saying a word. He ran off to call his housekeeper and told her to make some snacks right away.
He Jing smiled, a bright smile as she shook her head. She turned her head and glanced at the boy in front of the pool, his face and hair wet from washing.
...
The closer we get to summer, the hotter it gets. Even before the summer solstice, students are already showing signs of being unable to tolerate the high temperatures.
After a long day of classes, the students disappeared like pigs bursting out of their pen.
Zheng Cheng packed his schoolbag and quickly came over: "He Jing, let's go back together."
He Jingcai finished tidying up her stationery and smiled sweetly at him: "Wait for me a moment."
After she had packed everything into her schoolbag and was ready to leave, a long, slender leg blocked the way between her and the desk—
Where to?
The school heartthrob turned his head, his eyes holding a half-smile.
His expression was both alluring and dangerous, as if his wife had cheated on him right in front of him and he had already figured out how to punish her.
He Jing's hair stood on end, and she glared at him unhappily: "I'm going to Zheng Cheng's house to practice hurdles and weightlifting."
Yan Hanxi remained silent, his gaze growing increasingly intense.
He Jing added irritably, "The sports meet is about to start, do you want me to come in last place?"
Yan Hanxi finally shifted her gaze to Zheng Cheng and asked, "Where's the registration form?"
Zheng Cheng was dumbfounded: "It's...it's already been handed in."
"Hmm..." Yan Hanxi smiled slightly, "Zheng Cheng, I'd like to visit your home. Would I have the honor?"
Zheng Cheng was on the verge of tears. He did have tears, but he was afraid his family wouldn't be able to accommodate this powerful figure. Besides... he also wanted to spend some time alone with He Jing...
Just as the thought crossed her mind, she heard Yan Hanxi casually raise his nose and say, "Hmm? Is that not allowed?"
Zheng Cheng succumbed to the school bully's tyranny and was forced to agree with a lie: "Y-yes, you can."
Yan Hanxi chuckled and hoisted his loosely slung backpack onto his body: "Let's go."
He Jing: "..."
How did a trip for two inexplicably turn into a trip for three?
Yan Hanxi walked beside He Jing, glancing at her sideways. His eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his fair face: "Model student, I didn't bother you, did I?"
He Jing was speechless: "If I said yes, would you not go to Zheng Cheng's house?"
"Won't."
"Then why did you even ask?"
...
The Zheng family built their villa on a hillside outside the city. It took a full hour to drive there.
He Jing couldn't help but ask, "Zheng Cheng, do you take such a long detour to school every day?"
Zheng Cheng replied, "Of course not. My dad bought me an apartment near the school. I usually live in the apartment, but I go home every Saturday and Sunday to have dinner with my parents."
"So that's how it is."
It's really not realistic to go to school so far away from home.
He Jing followed Zheng Cheng into the Zheng family home and found the entire villa to be magnificent, spacious, and extremely luxurious. Before she transmigrated, she was a wealthy and beautiful woman, but compared to this, the He family was nothing. Indeed, the world in the book had no limit to how exaggerated things could get.
Yan Hanxi glanced at her face and said in a seemingly pretentious tone, "Do you like it? The Yan family owns several houses, including one with a hot spring on the mountaintop."
