Lu Yi's senior year of high school began amidst a chorus of ridicule.
This all stems from the "good deeds" of his biological mother, Qin Fengying!
Ruan Jiaojiao was worried that one of the students might harm Lu Yi, so she was almost inseparable from him.
On the day school ended, she packed her suitcase and moved to the apartment next to Lu Yi's.
"Ruan Jiaojiao, this is Aunt Liu's house..."
"Yes, she moved to her son's house to live with him in her old age, and rented the house to me!"
Ruan Jiaojiao inserted the key into the keyhole, but before she could turn it, the sound of the open fire door suddenly came from the other side.
Lu Baoyun, carrying a bag of trash, froze on the spot when she saw Lu Yi and a dashing girl looking at her at the same time.
"You live here? Did Grandpa Wang also go to live with his son to retire?"
Lu Yi pointed to the house number; he remembered that Grandpa Wang didn't have a son.
Lu Baoyun blinked and stammered, "No, Grandpa Wang went to live with his daughter to retire!"
"Excuse me, is this pretty girl your classmate? I'm just going out to buy soy sauce. Why don't you all come over for dinner later?"
Her purpose in moving here was to take care of Lu Yi.
Seeing how familiar the girl seemed to him, he felt a little uneasy.
Unfortunately, she was too old to pretend to be young and go back to high school to sit next to Lu Yi and protect him.
Otherwise, how would other girls get a chance?
"No need, we'll eat out later!"
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Baoyun lightly, then turned around to block her gaze from being fixed on Lu Yi.
His small face was covered with expressions of provocation and wariness.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft!
She would rather cook instant noodles for Lu Yi than allow him to freely enter and leave other women's homes.
"Lu Yi, who exactly is she?"
Lu Baoyun sensed Ruan Jiaojiao's hostility and finally couldn't hold back anymore.
As Lu Yi's older sister, she never had the chance to get close to him like this. No, after missing the opportunity, she never had such a chance again.
But why should this tomboyish girl make decisions for Lu Yi?
"Lu Yi, we agreed to go eat hot and sour noodles, right?"
Ruan Jiaojiao was not to be outdone.
Like a fighting rooster, arms crossed over chest, chin slightly raised.
After a long while, when the two heard no response, Ruan Jiaojiao turned around and realized that Lu Yi had already opened the door and gone home sometime earlier.
Gu Huainan watched the whole farce silently from the corner of the stairs, a strange smile on his face.
Under the bewildered gazes of the two, she carried large and small bags upstairs and knocked on Lu Yi's door.
"Brother, open the door, there's a problem with that project proposal, I need to ask you for your advice!"
After Gu Huainan finished speaking, the door opened.
Ruan Jiaojiao and Lu Baoyun watched Gu Huainan enter triumphantly, glared at each other, then one opened the door and the other went downstairs.
...
"What's going on? Everyone's saying online that the new desks and chairs that your whole school got were a birthday gift from Lu Han?"
Gu Huainan casually put his suitcase down, put his hands together, and bowed three times to Lu Yi's adoptive parents and uncle.
Then he sat on the sofa and casually picked up Lu Yi's book and started flipping through it.
Lu Yi stood at the door, staring at his bags, looking puzzled.
"Let the rumors spread. I can't control what everyone says, I can only control what I hear!"
"But what's going on with you... Instead of going to school, what are you doing here? Did you run away from home?"
Gu Huainan pursed his lips and sighed.
"It's a good thing it was you. Anyone else would have died of anger from this humiliation!"
He put himself in Cheng Luyi's shoes more than once and realized that, apart from going crazy, he simply couldn't continue living his life so calmly.
Who are the people in the Lu family? Aside from Lu Baoyun, who's somewhat pleasing to the eye, the rest are simply...
Seeing that Lu Yi didn't react in any particular way, he continued, "I've been to the school. It's just so-so since it's only the beginning of the semester. You know my brother loves to nag me, so I came here to escape to your place for a few days to relax."
He dared not explain too bluntly.
She was afraid of hurting Lu Yi's self-esteem.
Despite Lu Yi's extraordinary resilience and strength, he still couldn't bear to do it.
"You sleep in the bedroom, I'll sleep on the sofa!"
Lu Yi didn't ask any further questions, grinned, and put his suitcase and packages into the bedroom.
...
Life goes on.
Aside from attending classes, Lu Yi spends his time shopping and relaxing with Gu Huainan and Ruan Jiaojiao. Sometimes Gu Keke and Lu Baoyun also join in.
However, the impact of the two was vastly different.
Ruan Jiaojiao and Gu Keke are like two ends of a magnet; they complement each other perfectly in terms of appearance and personality.
So when the four of them were together, the atmosphere was as harmonious as water and milk blending together.
Lu Baoyun is different.
She's like a hedgehog that's tucked in, but every now and then a few quills peek out.
Furthermore, after Ruan Jiaojiao learned that she was the fourth young lady of the Lu family, her attitude towards her became colder and colder.
That day, Gu Huainan went to school but didn't come.
However, Gu Huaibei unusually brought Fan Huijun to visit.
Ruan Jiaojiao, dressed in casual shorts and a cropped T-shirt, lay leisurely on the sofa, scrolling through her phone and occasionally letting out a silly grin.
Upon seeing the seemingly perfect couple, he immediately stood up, staring at Fan Huijun with a wary expression.
"Oh, this must be Huo Jingxi's sister from abroad. I must say, she's a perfect match for my brother."
Fan Huijun put the fruit on the table, then pulled Gu Huaibei, who was "feeding her like a disaster relief," with a big smile on her face.
“My brother’s coming-of-age ceremony will definitely need a dance partner, but Coco won’t be able to stay in that kind of setting for long. This girl would be perfect for it.”
