Chapter 93 He Won't Wake Up
"Who are you seeing?"
Shi Nianzhi lowered his head, opened the envelope, counted the thick wad of red banknotes, and muttered, "Twenty-three, twenty-four..."
"Stop counting, ten thousand, round it down to the nearest whole number."
The man took the money from his hand and placed it on the table.
"Then let me count to see if it's a hundred."
"How could I possibly give you a lower price?"
"What if the bank doesn't give enough?"
"ATM machine."
"But mistakes happen sometimes, didn't you see the news?"
Lu Jiunian reached out and flicked Shi Nianzhi's head. "Get up and wash up. Stop talking nonsense, you'll be late for school."
Shi Nianzhi suddenly saw the serious and dark face of the head teacher who had caught him for being late. He instantly became more alert and got up to wash up.
He changed into his school uniform and went downstairs. A boy about his age was standing at the bottom of the stairs. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and his gaze was somewhat fierce.
He's the type who doesn't look particularly good at first glance, but the longer you look at him, the more handsome he becomes; he exudes a wild and untamed aura.
"Is this your new love?"
Shi Nianzhi asked with a sour tone.
The next second, Lu Jiunian tugged at his ear, "When have I ever had a new love? From now on, he'll be your bodyguard, he'll follow you to and from school."
"ah?"
Shi Nianzhi was surprised, "Bodyguard?"
Then he waved his hand, "I don't need it, it's too much trouble."
"Doesn't Gu Yuanyuan often bully you? With this person protecting you, Gu Yuanyuan won't hit you anymore, and besides..."
"And what?"
Lu Jiunian's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said calmly, "It's nothing, you can give him a name."
Doesn't he have a name?
"He only has a code name, twelve. You can pick any one. Get him his ID card this morning, and he'll be enrolled in school to accompany you this afternoon. After that, he'll protect you during the day when I'm not around."
Does he go to school? Are his grades good?
"have no idea."
Lu Jiunian seemed to find Shi Nianzhi nagging, so he tugged at his ear forcefully again, "Hurry up, do you think I'm bored and want to waste so much time here with you over such trivial matters!"
"Ouch—"
Shi Nianzhi rescued his ear from Lu Jiunian's grasp. Sometimes he felt that Lu Jiunian learning to pull his ear was really not a good thing.
He has sensitive ears.
"Twelve, the pronunciation of 'ten' and 'time' is similar. If I were to name him, he would take my surname and be called Shi Er. If you don't think that's a good enough name, I also have Shi Tiancai, Shi Tianfu, and Shi Tiangui. How about that? Isn't that very cultured?"
Lu Jiunian: "..."
As expected, one shouldn't have too high expectations for Shi Nianzhi, a primary school student who did terribly in Chinese.
The man raised his head slightly and looked at the bodyguard. "From now on, your name will be Shi Er, Shi as in time."
Shi Er nodded blankly, "I understand."
Lu Jiunian patted her hand gently, "Go to school. I have something to do tonight, so I won't have dinner with you."
"Will you come back?"
"We'll see, but you don't need to wait for me."
Shi Nianzhi took two steps and then turned back. He pointed at Shi Er and asked, "Is this his personal bodyguard? Do they sleep together too?"
He was hit on the head, and Shi Nianzhi clutched his head, his voice filled with dissatisfaction, "What did you do?"
"What are you thinking? He sleeps in the servants' quarters tonight, he won't be here."
"profound......"
The man's voice suddenly turned cold. "What? Disappointed?"
Shi Nianzhi ran away quickly.
How could I dare?
Shi Er followed him into the car, and Zhang Sao chased after him again, stuffing the bento box, juice, and fruit into the car through the window.
She also said to Shi Nianzhi with great kindness, "Young Shi, study hard."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang."
Shi Nianzhi said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and sat in the car, looking at Shi Er sitting in the passenger seat. "How old are you? You look about the same age as me."
"twenty."
"You're a little older than me. I thought you were younger. You look so young. Did you also have a difficult family situation, which is why you're working here?"
A moment of confusion flashed in Shi Er's eyes, "Family?"
He then denied it, saying, "I don't have that kind of thing."
"ah?"
Shi Nianzhi was stunned. What kind of talk was this? Everyone has a family, whether it's good or bad. What do you mean by not having such a thing?
Where are your parents?
"I was sold when I was very young, I have no memory of it."
"Child trafficking! Call the police!"
"The people you call your parents sold me."
"......"
Shi Nianzhi's mouth dropped open; his worldview had been completely shattered. "How is that possible? Are there really parents in this world who sell their children?"
Shi Dazhuang and Li Zhi both treated Shi Nianzhi very well, which Shi Nianzhi couldn't understand.
Shi Er held almost no reservations towards Shi Nianzhi, because protecting Shi Nianzhi was his mission, and being loyal to Shi Nianzhi was what he should do.
"Yes, I had too many children and couldn't afford to raise them, so I sold them. I think that's how it was, but it's been too long and I can't remember clearly."
Shi Nianzhi hooked his hand around the passenger seat and stroked Shi Er's hair with pity. "What a pitiful child. No wonder you're working at such a young age. Don't worry, I'll make sure you have an easy job every day. I guarantee you'll earn your wages effortlessly. Don't be afraid of Gu Yuanyuan. I have an older brother and a boss at school. He can't do anything to you."
Shi Er nodded, seemingly understanding, "Mm."
Then he added, "Third Master instructed me not to hurt anyone."
"Yes, it's illegal to hurt someone now, and you'll end up in jail."
Shi Er looked at the road ahead, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Is that so..."
Shi Nianzhi sat down, looked down and pulled out a bottle of juice. He opened it, wanted to drink it, and then handed it to Shi Er, saying, "Yes, this is for you."
Shi Er took it. In his eyes, Shi Nianzhi's words and actions sometimes represented commands.
The way Shi Nianzhi gave him the juice was like ordering him to "drink," but Shi Nianzhi didn't say how much, so he drank all the juice in one go.
Shi Nianzhi didn't think much of it, assuming he was thirsty.
Since Shi Er had not yet completed the enrollment procedures, he only followed him to the school gate.
When Shi Nianzhi entered the school, he turned around and waved goodbye to him. When he saw Su Hengyi, he ran over to greet him.
"Brother Yi, you're here so late today too."
Shi Er watched the two figures walking side by side, their backs somewhat intimate. He turned around and went back into the car, telling Lu Jiunian everything he had seen and heard.
Lu Jiunian was getting impatient after listening to a bunch of nonsense, but thankfully he heard one useful sentence at the end.
He told Shi Er in a cold voice, "You need to pay special attention to this Su Hengyi. Contact me immediately if anything seems amiss."
"Understood, Third Master."
corridor.
Su Hengyi and Shi Nianzhi had just walked around the corner when they saw Gu Yuanyuan carrying a white plastic bag containing two boxes of yogurt and a box of sandwiches.
As Su Hengyi approached, he handed it to him, saying, "Here's your breakfast."
Su Hengyi did not answer.
Gu Yuanyuan persisted, "Why shouldn't I take it? Is what I'm giving you poisoned? Take it."
Gu Yuanyuan patted the plastic bag on Su Hengyi's chest, but Su Hengyi walked in decisively, not giving Gu Yuanyuan a chance to pat it back.
Gu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, looking as if she wanted to tear Su Hengyi to pieces and devour him.
Shi Nianzhi felt scared and quickly tried to slip into the classroom.
Gu Yuanyuan grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in front of her. Then Gu Yuanyuan grabbed Shi Nianzhi's hair and said, "You little country bumpkin, I haven't been bothering you lately. You've been living a carefree life, haven't you? Let me tell you, you won't be carefree for long before you have to go back to your hometown to feed the pigs!"
"Your opinion doesn't count."
Shi Nianzhi's scalp ached from being pulled so hard. He reached out and grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's hand, trying to escape Gu Yuanyuan's clutches.
Gu Yuanyuan didn't take it seriously at all. His disdainful voice told Shi Nianzhi, "I told you long ago that everything here doesn't belong to you. Sooner or later, it will be returned to its rightful owner. My uncle is about to wake up."
Shi Nianzhi said angrily, "If he were going to wake up, he would have woken up long ago. He's been sleeping all this time, he won't wake up!"
"Bang----"
Gu Yuanyuan slammed Shi Nianzhi's head against the doorframe. "You dare curse my uncle? I bet you're asking for trouble—"
Su Hengyi gripped Gu Yuanyuan's wrist tightly.
He spoke each word clearly and in an extremely cold voice, "Enough is enough."
"Don't you like me bullying Shi Nianzhi, Su-ge?"
Gu Yuanyuan was no longer in pain and stared intently at Su Hengyi with great interest.
Su Hengyi's gaze was cold, and he didn't say anything.
Gu Yuanyuan, in a nonchalant manner, didn't care whether his hand was injured or not. He suddenly leaned close to Su Hengyi and said, "I'm the kind of person who listens to my boyfriend. If you become my boyfriend and tell me not to bully anyone, I promise I won't bully anyone anymore. How about it?"
Gu Yuanyuan reached out with her other hand to slap Su Hengyi's chin, but Su Hengyi turned his head to dodge.
Mu Guangcheng had just climbed the stairs and hadn't even caught his breath when he looked up and saw this scene before him.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my heart and eyes.
Although he disliked Gu Yuanyuan, he had to admit that Gu Yuanyuan was very handsome and that he and Su Hengyi were actually quite well-matched.
Mu Guangcheng subconsciously clenched his fist.
Shi Nianzhi reached out and pushed Gu Yuanyuan aside, then stood in front of Su Hengyi, his tone fierce, "Don't try to take advantage of Brother Yi!"
Because Shi Nianzhi suddenly barged in, Su Hengyi temporarily released Gu Yuanyuan's wrist.
Gu Yuanyuan smiled lazily, and he reached out and gave Shi Nianzhi's head a push without any politeness. "I'm not only going to take advantage of him in the future, I'm also going to sleep with him. Is that any of your business?"
Mu Guangcheng rushed over, grabbed his schoolbag, and smashed it over Gu Yuanyuan's face. "Watch your mouth!"
Before Shi Nianzhi could react, Mu Guangcheng rushed up, and then the head of the teaching department appeared around the corner with his beer belly.
Shi Nianzhi thought of Mu Guangcheng, the bad student who was on probation. If he got caught fighting again, wouldn't he be finished?
So Shi Nianzhi pushed Mu Guangcheng aside with his buttocks, then grabbed Gu Yuanyuan by the hair, pressed down on the still dizzy Gu Yuanyuan, and slammed his head against the railing with a loud bang.
The head of discipline's sharp voice boomed, "Fighting again! All of you, stop right there! Don't move!"
Su Hengyi grabbed Mu Guangcheng's wrist and shielded him behind her.
Shi Nianzhi released Gu Yuanyuan, his hand trembling slightly.
