âYesterday, you said that you invited a lot of handsome guys to a dinner party. This should be a social gathering, right? I didnât go because I didnât need it. I already promised Senior to visit the neighbouring school. Why would I suddenly not go?â
Qin Shu smiled. âAs for you, if you want to pull me to a social gathering, I canât refuse. Han Xiao and I are good friends. By saying this, are you trying to sow discord?â
Qin Shuâs words were very straightforward. To a person like Yan Jing, there was no need to be perfunctory. When it was time to say something, he would not show any mercy. When it was time to strike, he would not show any mercy.
Yan Jingâs face turned pale. She did not expect Qin Shu to be so straightforward. She did not leave any leeway.
She raised her head and looked at Han Xiao in chagrin. She wanted him to help her say something.
Han Xiaoâs gaze was fixed on Qin Shu. He did not notice Yan Jingâs gaze at all. He probably did not want to notice any other girls besides Qin Shu.
Yan Jing noticed that Han Xiaoâs gaze had been fixed on Qin Shu the entire time. She gritted her teeth. Han Xiao had been deceived by Qin Shu. Otherwise, how could Han Xiao take a fancy to a woman like her?
Fu Tingyan and Bo Ye walked in at this time. They were a little surprised when they saw Qin Shu. They had never heard her mention that she would participate in the event before.
âYou guys came early.â
Qiao ran said, âIâve only been here for a short while. Have your waist recovered ?â
âYes,â Fu Tingyan replied.
They remembered that his waist had recovered a lot in the past few days, so it was normal for him to attend.
Jun Li was the last to come. He was wearing a woolen coat, which made his figure look more slender and straight. He was wearing a black scarf, but his face was still very pale.
âYouâre all here. Letâs get moving.â His voice was elegant and low, and his eyes were very gentle.
Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Shu turned around to look at Jun Li. She sized up his expression and asked, âHow have you been these two days?â
Jun Li looked down at her. âIâve taken two doses of medicine. Itâs somewhat effective.â
Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. âThatâs good.â
Han Xiaoâs dark eyes looked at Jun Li and Qin Shu. He felt that the relationship between Jun Li and her seemed to be better than his. He clenched his fists tightly.
âLetâs go.â
Jun Li was the first to walk out.
Qiao ran followed suit.
Han Xiao took a step forward and walked out side by side with Qin Shu.
Fu Tingyan frowned when he saw Han Xiao suddenly walk over. He had a feeling that Han Xiao was deliberately trying to get close to Qin Shu, just like when they were at Hua Feng.
His brother was not around, so he wanted to help his brother watch over any man who was trying to get close to Qin Shu.
He hurriedly walked over. When he left, he even hooked his arm around Bo Yeâs neck and asked him to follow him.
Bo Ye, â...â
Yan Jing looked at the few people walking in front of her and looked at Han Xiao who was standing beside Qin Shu. She gritted her teeth in anger and followed him.
Fu Tingyan walked to Qin Shuâs side and glanced at Han Xiao. âI didnât expect the three of us to be together again.â
Qin Shu and Han Xiao knew that Fu Tingyan was talking about the three of them being present during the competition between the two schools.
Qin Shu looked at the few boys with extremely good looks and said confidently, âWeâre not afraid this time. The good-looking boys from our school are very handsome. We can beat them before they even make a move.â
Fu Tingyan smiled. âI heard that they have lot of beautiful, talented girls this time.â
Qin Shu said, âThey have a lot of beautiful girls, and we have a lot of handsome boys. Weâre all talented.â
Fu Tingyan smiled and did not comment.
The group of people took the school bus to the school next door.
Although it was a neighbouring school, it was actually quite a distance. It took more than ten minutes on bus.
After Qin Shu got on the bus, Jun Li waved at her. âQin Shu.â
Seeing that Jun Li was calling her, she looked over. He was sitting in one seat. There were many empty seats on the bus, so it was okay for one person to take up two seats.
She walked over and sat down next to Jun Li.
Han Xiaoâs outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and looked at Qin Shu sitting next to Jun Li.
Yan Jing was sitting by the window. When she saw Han Xiao get into the car, she shouted at him, âHan Xiao, sit here.â
Han Xiao glanced at Yan Jing and looked at the seat beside Qin Shu. He walked over and sat on the seat beside Qin Shu, separated by the aisle.
Seeing this, Yan Jing did not flare up as she wanted to maintain her image.
Bo Ye walked to the back and sat by the window. With one hand against the window, he looked out of the car.
Fu Tingyan followed closely. He saw Qin Shu sitting beside Jun Li and Han Xiao sitting next to him. He frowned.
Then, he looked at Bo Ye and saw him sitting at the back. He walked over and sat directly beside Bo Ye.
When Fu Tingyan leaned over, his body weight was almost on Bo Ye. His gaze followed the window. âWhat are you looking at?â
âNothing.âBo Ye turned his head to look at Fu Tingyan. Ever since his waist was injured, he had always liked to lean on him. He also liked to order him around and wash his socks.
At this moment, his phone rang. Fu Tingyanâs gaze turned to Bo Yeâs pocket.
Bo Ye took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. Brother.
He hesitated for a moment before picking up the call.
âBrother, whatâs the matter?â
Bo Yin could not help but growl on the other end of the line, âWhat exactly do you want to do before youâre willing to come back?â
Bo Ye said, âIâm not going back.â
Bo Yin said, âEven if you donât come back now, youâll still have to come back during the winter vacation.â
âI donât intend to go back.â Bo Yeâs voice was still calm.
Bo Yin stood up from the other end of the line. âSay that again?â
âI donât intend to go back,â Bo Ye repeated.
Bo Yin was really angry this time. âYou really want me to kidnap you back, donât you?â
Bo Ye said, âBrother, you should know why I donât want to go back.â
âYou donât believe me, do you? You donât believe that I can protect you?â
Bo Ye gripped his phone tightly and fell into silence.
Fu Tingyan, who was sitting at the side, heard Bo Yeâs words and frowned. He couldnât hear what the other party was saying, so he didnât know what they were saying.
He simply leaned over and eavesdropped openly.
Bo Ye sensed that Fu Tingyan was eavesdropping, so he moved his body to the side a little.
Fu Tingyan frowned and moved his body as well. He continued to lean against the phone to eavesdrop.
âYe, trust me. I wonât let them do that. Iâve already tried my best to compete for the position of the head of the family. Once I sit on it, I wonât use you as a marriage pawn, and no one will dare to use you as one. Trust me, okay?â
Bo Yin tried his best to stay calm, but when he heard that Bo Ye wasnât even coming back for winter vacation, he couldnât help but want to fly into a rage.
With his phone pasted to his ear, Fu Tingyan heard every word of the other partyâs words clearly.
Marriage alliance?
Who Did Bo Ye have a marriage alliance with?
How old was he when he had a marriage alliance?
After Bo Ye heard Bo Yinâs words, he fell into silence again.
Not even bothering about Fu Tingyan who was eavedropping at the side.
