H City No.1 Middle School
"Sister Miao, tell me quickly, are you some kind of hidden diamond tycoon?" Ji Sinian leaned closer and whispered.
"Yeah, you noticed that." Shi Miao twirled her pen, looking at her phone without looking up, and said casually.
"Holy crap, could it be that my uncle thinks I've been behaving well lately, but doesn't want to admit it, so he bought two boxes of diamonds and gave them to me under your name?" Ji Sinian said, resting his chin on his hand with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. She looked up at him and said, "Wait, does your uncle know how vivid your imagination is?"
“My uncle doesn’t know, but my mom does. She was even planning to send me to learn to paint.”
Shi Miao ignored the idiot and lowered her head to continue playing on her phone.
Seeing that Shi Miao ignored him, Ji Sinian was bored and kicked Lu Hansheng's chair in front of him.
Lu Hansheng turned his head, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Ah, I have long legs, I accidentally kicked it." Ji Sinian said with his arms crossed and a completely innocent look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng's eyes instantly turned cold, and he coldly replied, "Boring."
"Hey kid, what's with your eyes? Want to fight?" Ji Sinian shouted.
Lu Hansheng ignored him, glanced at Shi Miao out of the corner of her eye, and then turned away expressionlessly.
Shi Miao's head was throbbing from Ji Sinian's constant nagging. She rubbed her temples and asked, "Why do you keep bothering him?"
"How boring. I just can't stand that bookworm," Ji Sinian muttered, pouting.
"Tsk, is this what a school bully is like?" Shi Miao leaned casually against the back of his chair, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Ji Sinian: "..."
[Ding] A message suddenly popped up on Shi Miao's phone.
Qin Xiao: [Shi Xiaomiao, I'm coming to H City tomorrow, let's go have some fun!]
Shi Miao: [Let's talk about it later, I might not have time.]
Qin Xiao: [No way, you still owe me a hot pot meal!]
Just as Shi Miao was about to type a reply, Ji Sinian leaned over and suddenly said, "Damn, how come you know Qin Xiao?"
"I know him, so what?" Shi Miao lifted her eyelids and glanced at him.
"Hey, do you remember that woman named Qin Mingyue from my birthday?"
"I remember, she has a connection with Qin Xiao?" Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly; the two shared the same surname...
“Yes, she’s Qin Xiao’s sister, and she also likes my uncle,” Ji Sinian said, slapping his thigh.
Shi Miao: "......" What a small world. Did I accidentally stir up trouble in the Qin family's home?
"But don't worry, Sister Miao, my uncle has never even given her a second glance."
With a ding, Qin Xiao sent another message: [Don't play dead, Shi Xiaomiao! I'm waiting for you at your school gate tomorrow.]
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly as she typed in reply: 【Understood.】
......
After school, Shi Miao went straight to Gu Qingshan's place.
"Miaomiao, you're here!" Gu Qingshan stood up, leaning on his cane, and looked at the girl who walked in from the door with joy in his eyes.
"grandfather."
Gu Yunbai coughed, wiped the sweat from his palms, and nervously said, "Miaomiao."
Shi Miao was a little surprised, not expecting Gu Yunbai to be there as well. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "When were you discharged from the hospital?"
“Yesterday.” Gu Yunbai, who had initially thought Shi Miao would ignore him, suddenly brightened up and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao nodded, put down her backpack, and sat down next to Gu Qingshan.
"I called you all here today because I want to talk to you about something. I want to see Wanqing... I'm sorry for neglecting her all these years. These days, I can't stop thinking about her, and I can't rest easy until I see her with my own eyes," Gu Qingshan sighed and said in a deep voice.
“Okay, I’ll take care of that,” Shi Miao said after a moment of thought.
"I just don't know if your mother will be willing to see me." A hint of worry flashed in Gu Qingshan's eyes as he murmured, his fingers stroking his cane.
"Dad, don't worry, I believe Wanqing will definitely see you," Gu Yunbai comforted him.
"Well, don't overthink it. Mom also wants to see you."
"Alright, alright! Miaomiao, I'll leave this to you." Upon hearing this, Gu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
"Don't worry, Grandpa." Shi Miao nodded.
......
After Shi Miao left Gu Qingshan's place, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
"Miaomiao!" Gu Yunbai's voice came from behind.
Shi Miao turned around without saying a word.
Gu Yunbai awkwardly touched his hair. "It's snowing outside. Let your uncle take you home."
"No need, I'll just take a taxi," Shi Miao said calmly, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Ah, okay." Gu Yunbai nodded helplessly.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
