Chapter 20 It's not necessary, nor worth it
After school, Jiang Fengyan followed Su Maojie into the school cafeteria. On the way, Su Maojie introduced two people to Jiang Fengyan.
When the two classmates heard that Jiang Fengyan came from North City, they became curious and kept asking Jiang Fengyan questions.
"How many classes does Beicheng have in a day?"
"twelve."
"So many, won't you want to die after finishing it?"
"……fine."
"What's the difference between your classes and ours?"
“It makes no difference.”
"They should be listening carefully, right?"
"I don't know. I didn't notice."
“…”
Jiang Fengyan had no interest in these questions and only squeezed out a few words to answer. He finally reached the window and started to order food when a person came towards him.
Su Maojie: "Song Shiyang? Doesn't he usually dislike coming to the cafeteria?"
Song Shiyang was wearing a school uniform. He ignored all the eyes cast towards him and walked in front of Jiang Fengyan: "Shall we talk?"
Su Maojie didn't expect that Jiang Feng knew Song Shiyang at the banquet, so he took the initiative to greet him: "Xueba... hello."
"Don't call me that given my low status." Song Shiyang said in a cold voice.
"Ah..." Su Maojie was suddenly embarrassed by this response.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here." Jiang Fengyan held the meal card in his hand and glanced at Song Shiyang before looking away.
The cafeteria was very noisy. Song Shiyang frowned, obviously not wanting to talk here, but since the other party was Jiang Fengyan, he could only be patient: "The first monthly exam will be held in two weeks. The experimental class will be reorganized. Come over."
Jiang Fengyan: "Let's talk about it later."
Song Shiyang: "You've been to the regular class, there aren't many people who want to study seriously..."
Su Maojie had originally taken the initiative to show his goodwill to Song Shiyang out of his natural respect for the top student, but when he heard what was said, he immediately got angry: "What do you mean, you're here to poach people?"
"Is the experimental class so great?" The male classmate standing next to Su Maojie couldn't help but sigh.
Song Shiyang: "I'm just giving you a reminder."
"No need, he is living well in our Class 6." Su Maojie said.
Jiang Fengyan had probably already said everything he wanted to say, so he simply looked up at the food window.
"..." Song Shiyang looked at Jiang Fengyan for a long time with a complicated expression, "I really want to be your classmate again."
Jiang Fengyan said calmly: "The big test seems to be more important than this."
Seeing that Jiang Fengyan had no strong desire to join the experimental class, Song Shiyang had no choice but to give up: "If you need practice, come to me."
"No need, we have plenty of practice." Su Maojie retorted.
Song Shiyang looked at Jiang Fengyan deeply before turning and leaving.
"Song Shiyang was your classmate three years ago?" Su Maojie asked after Song Shiyang left.
Jiang Fengyan: “Yeah.”
"Oh." Su Maojie said embarrassedly.
After dinner, the early autumn sunset dyed most of the sky red. Students came out of the cafeteria walking side by side in twos and threes. A gust of wind blew over the treetops and blew down a few leaves, which rolled a few times in the air before falling to the ground.
Jiang Fengyan stepped on the leaves and looked up at the lighted teaching building not far away. A cold ripple appeared in the depths of his calm eyes.

[Gu Chengye: Mother will be here soon. ］
Half an hour later, Qin Yu saw the message. He had just finished a set of questions. After reading the message, he frowned, put away the draft paper and exercise paper, tucked them into his book, and put them on the bookshelf.
Then he picked up the coat on the hanger and sent a message to Jiang Fengyan, asking him not to come over tonight.
After everything was settled, Qin Yu opened the door and prepared to leave the villa.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Just as he reached the door of the villa, a luxury car slowly stopped in front of him.
The first person to get out of the car was the driver. He ignored Qin Yu, walked straight to the back seat, bent down slightly, and respectfully opened the car door.
Soon, a woman in a tight red dress stepped out of the car.
The woman had light makeup on her face, and her overly delicate facial features were still stunning at first glance even after years of wear and tear. She raised her head and looked at Qin Yu, her eyes full of indifference: "Where are you going?"
Qin Yu clenched his fists, knowing that he could not escape.
"Let's go to the Internet cafe." Qin Yu made up an excuse.
The woman turned a deaf ear to Qin Yu's words, stepped steadily on the ground with her high-heeled shoes, and walked towards Qin Yu step by step.
“Pah—”
The woman raised her hand and slapped Qin Yu in the face: "You are living a happy life."
The pain was transmitted to the cerebral cortex through the nerves, and Qin Yu turned his head and looked down at the ground.
"Give him the contract." The woman didn't even look at Qin Yu. She spoke to the assistant standing beside her and walked into the villa.
Qin Yu took the contract handed to him by the assistant in a daze. After meeting the assistant's slightly sympathetic gaze, his whole body felt cold as if it were filled with lead.
He opened the contract and scanned it quickly, finally stopping at the words "request for return of one million in child support."
Qin Yu was not surprised by this request, but everything happened earlier than he expected.
The night in early September was not cold. Qin Yu was wearing the coat he had just hastily put on, but he felt as if he was immersed in ice water. Even his bones were emitting unbearable coldness.
He had nowhere to go. The Qin family caught him and asked for money, and the Gu family wanted him to pay it back, but he was not even a hundred years old, where would the money come from?
The cell phone rang at this time. Qin Yu took out the phone from his pocket somewhat stiffly. After seeing the person dialing, he paused for a few seconds before answering the call.
The man said in a cold voice: "Stay still, I'm almost home."
Qin Yu's nerves, which had been tense all the time, suddenly broke at this moment. He was a little out of control, but his loss of control was limited to calling the man "Brother" in a daze.
The person on the other end of the phone might have been about to say something, and one could even hear the beginning of the first syllable, but Qin Yu's call interrupted him and he was speechless for a moment.
The sound of wind breaking through the air could be heard all around, and all the emotions that had been accumulated but unable to be expressed in words for some reason were on the verge of exploding.
Qin Yu licked his lips and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "If she wants to drive me away, will you disobey her?"
It got even quieter on the other end of the line.
After a long time, Qin Yu heard Gu Chengye say: "No, because it is not necessary and not worth it."
Qin Yu tightened his grip on the contract and looked into the distance.
The Gu family's villa was built in the suburbs to be away from the hustle and bustle, and there are almost no other buildings within a kilometer around it. So when standing at the door, you can only see a dim street with a street lamp every few meters.
Qin Yu looked at the street and raised his lips and suddenly smiled with relief: "I see, can you do me a favor?"
Gu Chengye said calmly: "You say."
Qin Yu: "There are two sets of school uniforms in the bag in the room. If someone comes over, give them to him."
This favor was actually just something that came in handy, but Gu Chengye didn't agree to it right away, because in his current situation, the favor Qin Yu asked him to do had nothing to do with him: "That's all?"
"right."
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he exited the call interface, sent a message to Jiang Fengyan again, squinted his eyes, and walked towards the darkest direction.
