"Aren't you coming up? What are you standing there for?"
One sentence extinguished the light in Lin Xueting's eyes instantly.
When Ye Sinian said this, he was looking at Xia Shih-han.
Lin Xueting gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with her fingers, watching the two figures leave, her beautiful eyes almost overwhelmed with jealousy and resentment.
Do you want that man?
A gentle male voice came from behind her, and then a pair of spotless black leather shoes came into Lin Xueting's view.
Shen Yanqing looked down at Lin Xueting with a gentle smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
For some reason, Lin Xueting felt a chill the moment she met those eyes, as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake with its tongue flicking out.
She looked at Shen Yanqing warily: "Who are you?"
Shen Yanqing raised the corners of her lips and extended her hand to her: "Of course, I'm the one who can help you."
...
Gu Baiwei took a taxi home and the first thing she did was rush back to her room to charge her phone.
The moment the phone was turned on, a flood of notification text messages popped up.
Gu Baiwei frowned slightly, only then realizing that most of the dozen or so messages were from Ye Sinian.
Nian Nian: Where are you?
Nian Nian: Why aren't you answering the phone?
Year after year: Who is that man?
Nian Nian: Gu Baiwei, return the call!
Most of these messages were very brief, but Gu Baiwei could still clearly sense Ye Sinian's anxiety and worry from the increasingly shorter intervals between them.
A sweet smile unconsciously appeared on Gu Baiwei's face. That cold and aloof brat had really grown up and knew how to care for his mother.
Ye Ssu-nien was aloof and disliked getting close to people from a young age.
Even when facing her, his mother, he always remained calm, displaying a maturity and composure completely beyond that of a child his age.
Gu Baiwei was quite troubled by this for a while.
She hurriedly dialed the number back. The phone rang for only a moment before Ye Sinian's deep, magnetic voice came through.
"Hello."
“Every year, it’s me.”
"Know."
"I'm back."
"Um."
The conversation was as bland and brief as ever, but just as Gu Baiwei was about to hang up, Ye Sinian asked casually, "The family doctor will be here soon. Are you... alright?"
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the awkward expression on his face when he said that: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
"Who cares about you?"
After Ye Sinian finished speaking, he hung up the phone abruptly.
Gu Baiwei chuckled. She really was exactly the same as when she was a child, stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.
She had noticed long ago that although the boy seemed cold and indifferent to everything, he would secretly cast envious glances at her whenever she held Ye Chuyue and comforted her.
But when she beckons him over, she immediately refuses with a haughty expression.
The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Gu Baiwei's reverie.
Since Aunt Liu wasn't home, Gu Baiwei went downstairs to open the door herself.
In the surveillance footage, a young man is standing at the door, carrying a large medical kit.
Gu Baiwei compared the photos Ye Sinian sent her with the photos, and after confirming that they were correct, she opened the door.
Upon seeing the young woman standing inside the door, Song Anze paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye's aunt?"
Gu Baiwei nodded and smiled as she ushered the person into the living room.
When he met the woman's bright, star-like eyes, Song Anze's heart skipped a beat.
He coughed lightly, feeling awkward, and adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. If he had known that Ye Sinian's aunt was so young and beautiful, he would have dressed up properly before coming over.
After opening the first-aid kit and asking a few routine questions, Song Anze immediately got to work, carefully disinfecting and applying medicine to Gu Baiwei's wound.
Her skin was fair and delicate, with almost no visible pores, which made the several hideous scars stand out even more.
Song Anze carefully bandaged her wound, but just as he was halfway through, Gu Baiwei's phone rang.
Gu Baiwei answered the phone, and the moment the call connected, Li Nanxing's anxious voice came from the other end: "Auntie, please come to the school quickly, something has happened to Sister Yue."
When Gu Baiwei left the police station last time, she and Li Nanxing exchanged contact information.
She jumped up from the chair, startling Song Anze, who was bandaging her.
"Dr. Song, I have something urgent to attend to and need to go out first."
Gu Baiwei picked up her handbag and was about to leave.
"Hey, um... wait a minute, your wound isn't bandaged yet."
Song Anze hurriedly called out to her, but he didn't know what to call her. He couldn't bring himself to call her "Auntie," and he didn't know her name.
Gu Baiwei didn't even turn her head: "It's alright."
As he spoke, he grabbed a pair of scissors from the side, cut the bandage, tied a knot haphazardly, stuffed the scissors into his bag, and walked straight out.
Song Anze was dumbfounded by her fierce demeanor, as if she were about to go out and fight. What a formidable woman!
When Gu Baiwei rushed to the school, she saw Li Nanxing waiting anxiously at the gate from afar.
When Li Nanxing saw her, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran a few steps forward.
"Auntie, you've finally arrived! Quick, Sister Yue has been called to the principal's office."
Gu Baiwei asked with a worried expression, "What exactly happened?"
As they walked and talked, Gu Baiwei quickly learned the details of what had happened from Li Nanxing.
During the break after class today, Ye Chuyue went to the restroom. As she passed the corner of the stairs, she saw a girl from the next class being molested by their homeroom teacher in a corner.
The girl was terrified, but dared not call for help because of the teacher's threats.
Ye Chuyue lost her temper and knocked the homeroom teacher unconscious with a brick.
The girl ran away in fear. Later, the homeroom teacher woke up in the infirmary and falsely accused Ye Chuyue of injuring someone for no reason.
That was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, so they couldn't see the specifics. The girl was also afraid and refused to come out to testify.
"Damn it, that bastard was spouting nonsense, he took it all the way to the principal and forced him to expel Sister Yue..."
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the door of the principal's office.
Before even entering, I heard a man's rough, unpleasant voice.
“Principal, students with violent tendencies and no academic ability must be expelled.”
“We are a key high school in the city. Keeping such a problem student in the school will only damage the school’s reputation.”
“Principal, look at her like this. She has no remorse whatsoever.”
Teacher Wang pointed at Ye Chuyue's nose and shouted loudly.
"Try pointing at me again?"
Ye Chuyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Teacher Wang with disgust.
"You...you dare threaten me? You've gone too far! You've really gone too far!"
Teacher Wang was startled by her fierce gaze, took two steps back, pointed at Ye Chuyue with one finger, and trembled with anger.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and everyone inside was startled.
"Hello, Principal, I am Ye Chuyue's aunt."
