Chapter 70 The Delinquent School Beauty Transfer Student 11 Chen Cang
Lin Hengzhi carried Lin Song home, then locked the door. He sat on the sofa and felt that the room was unusually quiet.
Normally, Lin Song would have to save face and maintain his image as a good father, and these things in their family wouldn't have been laid out for outsiders to comment on and criticize like they do today.
Lin Hengzhi looked at the locked bedroom door. What had gotten into Lin Song today? What exactly was rotting in his bones by his gambling addiction? Was he really so incapable of settling down?
It was already night, and the sky was dark and quiet.
Lin Hengzhi looked down at his scraped hand. It was just a little scratched, but there was no blood or bruise. He controlled his strength; how could he let himself get hurt?
At that moment, he could hear his own heartbeat, the ticking of the clock on the wall, and even the sound of the wind blowing through the window.
These sounds were like piercing curses, irritating his ears.
Suddenly, the landline, which had been silent for years, rang.
He frowned, probably startled.
The landline was silent for a moment, then rang again just when he thought it wouldn't ring anymore.
"Ring ring ring ring..."
Like a death warrant.
Lin Hengzhi answered the phone expressionlessly: "Hello, who is this?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and the clear voice sounded somewhat muffled now.
"Hello, can you hear me? This is Yun Chiyi."
Yun Chiyi patted the phone and muttered to herself, "Why can't I hear clearly? I haven't used it for so long, is this piece of junk broken?"
She ignored it all, put her hands on her hips, and looked towards Lin Hengzhi's house, wondering why he hadn't turned on the lights.
"You can hear me, right? I just wanted to ask if you're alright?"
Lin Hengzhi remained silent, his dark eyes devoid of light in the darkness.
Yun Chi couldn't think of anything else to say and remained silent for a long time. In the living room, Meng Yuan was reminding her to do her homework, over and over again, without getting tired of it.
She quickly added, "I still don't understand a few questions. Can you teach me again tomorrow?"
Lin Hengzhi listened carefully to these last few words.
Yun Chiyi hung up the phone and said to Meng Yuan with a helpless expression, "I've written down everything I know. How am I supposed to write down what I don't know? I'll ask Lin Hengzhi tomorrow."
Meng Yuan could easily see through her tricks, and laughed angrily: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, come and drink your milk and go to sleep."
After finishing her drink, Yun Chiyi lazily took a shower and glanced at the dark door before going to bed.
Her long hair was loose, gleaming softly in the moonlight, and she stood by the window for a while.
It was almost ten o'clock, and it was getting late. Yun Chiyi turned off the light and slept very well that night.
The next day on her way to class, she ran into Wang Jiajia at the school gate. It wasn't surprising, as Wang Jiajia was often late. But why was Xing Xiaoya, who was panting, following behind her?
The two of them have been spending a lot of time together these past few days, chatting about singers that Yun Chiyi isn't interested in.
Yun Chiyi, carrying her schoolbag and breakfast in one hand, stopped to wait for them: "Practicing morning exercises so early in the morning?"
Wang Jiajia said, "She overslept, which made me miss the bus."
Xing Xiaoya kept her head down, clutching the notebook in her arms. The page she was on had the three words "I'm sorry" crumpled up by her.
Apologizing has become a daily routine for her, but few people are willing to listen.
Yun Chiyi curled her lips: "Why is it Xiaoya's fault that you're late? Your neighborhoods aren't even in the same direction. Or did you move?"
Wang Jiajia shoved her: "My grandma misses me these past few days and wants me to come stay with her for a couple of days. It just so happens that my house is in the same direction as hers."
Xing Xiaoya nodded in agreement.
Yun Chiyi walked and smiled, her slender fingers gently tapping the MP3 player in Wang Jiajia's hand: "A new song to listen to?"
Wang Jiajia grabbed Yun Chiyi's arm and said, "I gave the shopkeeper two yuan to download it. I really went all out."
She smiled and grabbed Yun Chiyi tightly: "Let me tell you, a haunted house just opened on Heli Street. They say the decorations are really realistic. Let's go check it out this weekend."
Yun Chiyi grabbed Xing Xiaoya's wrist. Her gaze froze. The female lead's hand was frighteningly thin, with thin skin and flesh, as if it were just a thin bone.
She lowered her voice slightly: "Xiaoya will come too."
Wang Jiajia casually remarked, "What is she going to do? She's so timid."
The expectation in Xing Xiaoya's eyes slowly faded. Yun Chiyi walked slowly with his back to her, looking into Xing Xiaoya's eyes: "You'll grow bigger with practice."
Upon hearing this, Xing Xiaoya's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she gave Yun Chiyi a thank-you gesture.
Yun Chiyi said, "Why bother saying thank you to my friends?"
As she walked, the enticing aroma of beef wafted from the breakfast bag. Wang Jiajia peeked out furtively and saw three large steamed buns inside.
Wang Jiajia clicked her tongue in amazement: "You can eat three steamed buns in one meal?"
Yun Chiyi asked her, "Have you had breakfast?"
Wang Jiajia's ears turned red, and she turned her head away: "I ate it..."
Xing Xiaoya lightly squeezed in and gestured in sign language: "We ate together."
Yun Chiyi understood: "Then I'll bring you some more next time."
Wang Jiajia tugged at Xing Xiaoya: "Can you stop gesturing? It's so noisy. Just say what you want to say."
Yun Chi pushed Wang Jiajia, but didn't say anything else.
As a result, Wang Jiajia pushed them back, and the three of them jostled and shoved each other all the way, making them stand out conspicuously.
It wasn't until Yun Chiyi stepped into her seat that the people around her stopped looking. She took out the beef buns from the paper bag and put two on the next table.
She deliberately lowered her voice: "My dad made beef buns and insisted that I bring them for you to try."
Lin Heng, who had been writing non-stop just a second ago, looked over with two faint blue spots under his eyes: "For me?"
Yun Chiyi took a bite of the bun and squeezed out the meat juice, but her eyes were fixed on the buns on Lin Hengzhi's table: "Have you eaten yet? If you can't finish, you can share one with me."
There was a steamed bun about the size of her palm. She felt that one was enough, but her eyes were bigger than her stomach, and she was eyeing the one in Lin Hengzhi's hand.
Lin Hengzhi shared half of it with her: "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I can only share a little with you."
He was always self-disciplined and punctual, but he didn't eat today. Was it because of what happened last night? Yun Chiyi's gaze shifted, and she silently took half a bun.
Lin Hengzhi's eyes dimmed as he said, "What other questions do you not know? I'll explain them to you before math class."
Yun Chiyi raised her hand to interrupt: "Don't talk about unpleasant things while eating."
She felt choked and wanted to drink peanut milk, so she casually opened her palm and said, "Lend me some money so I can buy some water."
Lin Hengzhi's eyelids twitched: "You haven't returned what you borrowed last time."
Yun Chiyi pointed heavily at the beef bun in his hand, implying that "one is obligated to accept gifts," and that she was in the right.
After class, she borrowed five yuan. Before going to the convenience store, Lin Hengzhi grabbed her sleeve and reminded her not to buy a disciplinary notice.
The last time she went to buy bread, it was as if it had left an indelible stain on her life.
Yun Chiyi slapped his hand away dismissively, but unexpectedly, she turned around and went out, only to bump her head into a wall of people.
She was knocked unconscious and stumbled backward. When she looked up, she saw a bright, toothy smiling face. The person had a buzz cut, golden hair, and striking features, making him look like a mixed-race person at first glance.
[Ding! The male lead is directly in front of you.]
Yun Chiyi rubbed her forehead and pushed the man aside before the male protagonist of this world could speak: "Why are you blocking the road? Get out of the way."
Chen Cang watched her jog away and shook his head with a troubled expression: "So what if she's the school beauty? She still runs away shyly when she sees my handsome face."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cang noticed a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
The class monitor of Class Two has skin as white as a girl's, and eyes as black as her hair. It's said that she has a very strange temper.
Chen Cang avoided Lin Hengzhi, making eye contact for a second before leaving immediately.
He was encouraged by his friend to come and meet his new classmate. He didn't get to talk to him yet, but he figured there would be plenty of opportunities later.
In fact, Yun Chiyi hadn't gone far. She stood at the top of the stairs, her eyes calmly watching this area. She considered Chen Cang's identity, pondering if there was anything she could use to her advantage.
Chen Cang is the male protagonist of the novel. The world revolves around him and Xin Xiaoya. He looks empty-headed now, with a narcissistic and reckless appearance. It's hard to imagine that he will run such an excellent publishing house in the future.
He and Lin Hengzhi would both remain on this battlefield from then on; they were destined to be mortal enemies.
However, so far, Chen Cang is just the principal's son, and for Yun Chiyi, a high school student, she cares more about Chen Cang's identity.
How can we take advantage of his favorable winds? We'll think about it later.
As Yun Chiyi walked, she rubbed the money she had borrowed from Lin Hengzhi.
As she walked, she saw the lush trees along the school path suddenly smile.
Lin Hengzhi, half of his figure hidden behind the curtains, watched Yun Chiyi's steps gradually lighten, and finally she swung her arms and legs, her high ponytail like a soft willow branch, clearly in a good mood.
What is she so happy about?
Because Class Two came to Chencang?
Because he was the school heartthrob who was on par with her on the forum?
Lin Hengzhi's pupils were dark, and when he covered his eyes, he resembled an ancient well that had been hidden away and ignored.
A few minutes later, Yun Chiyi returned looking radiant, and used the few cents left over from buying milk to buy two lollipops for Lin Hengzhi.
Lin Hengzhi sat upright, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Yun Chiyi unwrapped the candy, muttering to herself, "You don't want to eat it because it's junk food?"
After she finished reading, she popped one into her mouth and savored the sweetness: "Then I'll eat one to lighten your load."
Lin Hengzhi frowned: "I don't eat candy."
Yun Chiyi threw it onto his desk with such force that the candy shattered.
Then, she lowered her head and started working on the homework she hadn't finished yesterday.
She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. He didn't like it? That was great! He had agreed to it!
School was over, and after dinner, Lin Hengzhi was to go to Yun Chiyi's house to tutor her.
At the entrance of the residential compound, Meng Yuan and Yun Hengshan pulled Lin Hengzhi home together.
They came out to pick up Yun Chiyi without telling her. Yun Chiyi pouted, washed her hands, and plopped down on a stool.
On the table were braised pork with preserved mustard greens, winter bamboo shoot and pigeon soup, sweet and sour pork with pineapple (a favorite among children), stir-fried lettuce with pork (for a lighter dish), tomato and loofah soup, stir-fried fresh mushrooms with greens, a small dish of fried peanuts, and a family-sized bottle of grape-flavored soda. This was exactly the standard for entertaining guests at home.
She stared at Lin Hengzhi, wondering if she was able to eat so much delicious food thanks to him.
Meng Yuan nudged Yun Hengshan's arm, urging him to speak.
Yun Hengshan chuckled twice: "Xiao Lin, eat up, don't be shy."
"Great!" Yun Chiyi rolled up her sleeves and picked up two pieces of braised pork with her chopsticks.
Meng Yuan coughed lightly to remind him, "Don't get your clothes all dirty again."
The family of three served soup and rice, helping each other pick up food, all in one smooth motion, just like every mealtime.
Lin Hengzhi was still oblivious until a spoonful of sweet and sour pork was placed in his bowl.
Yun Chiyi said with a smile, "I like to eat this, it's sweet."
Lin Hengzhi blinked, momentarily stunned by her smile. She was back to the setting sun, her face gentle, her thick hair cascading down her shoulders.
The air was filled with the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks clattering together. He held his chopsticks without speaking, still blinking as he watched Yun Chiyi casually cross her legs and stuff delicious food into her mouth. Her teeth were sharp, and she crunched loudly as she chewed the winter bamboo shoots in the pigeon soup.
She licked her lips, picked up her bowl and drank her soup, thinking to herself, "He hasn't touched his chopsticks for a long time. It seems that his dislike of sweets really wasn't a lie."
