Song Shijun cursed in a low voice, âF*ck! Didnât this guy go to the capital? Why is he back again!â
Yin Shaojie asked him, âAre you two rivals?â
âThereâs more to it than that!â Song Shijun said huffily. âBefore I met you, he was âthat parentâs kidâ. All the elders kept comparing me to him and it was so annoying!â
Even though he knew Ning Ruyan since his childhood, they didnât interact much. They had a superficial relationship and the most they did was nod at each other in greeting.
Ning Ruyan was a smart student with good grades and loved by the elders, while in contrast Song Shijun was a little more mischievous. Thus, it was natural the elders kept nagging at him to learn from Ning Ruyan.
Song Shijun stared at the photograph, frowned, and asked, âThis Jun Zeye dude actually knows Ning Ruyan. Who is he?â
Yin Shaojieâs gaze sank a little. His long fingers tapped the table lightly as he thought.
No matter whether Jun Zeye was a friend for foe, it was a must to find out who he was.
â¦
The afternoon recess ended.
There was a continuous stream of students coming back to school and entering their classrooms.
On a tree, Jun Zeye opened his eyes. Glancing at his surroundings, he then jumped off a few branches and landed nimbly on the ground.
Just as he was about to walk to class, his phone rang.
âHello.â
It was Ning Ruyan calling.
âKO indeed isnât dead yet. Heâs appeared. But what I donât understand is that he didnât escape from the country at the first moment. He even spent a huge sum of money to bribe people. He says he wants to come to your school to find a girl. According to the news I got, it seems like heâs referring to the girl he kidnapped.â
Jun Zeye frowned as he asked, âWhatâs the name of the girl.â
âMu Xiaoxiao.â
Jun Zeyeâs gaze turned cold.
Ning Ruyan asked, puzzled. âIs this Mu Xiaoxiao girl the one who was kidnapped in Heaven and Earth Mall yesterday? Who is she? Why is KO so interested in her?â
âTell me immediately if there are any new developments,â Jun Zeye said, ignoring Ning Ruyanâs question.
âBrother, do you know who she is?â Ning Ruyan was really curious.
âI donât know. Who she is isnât important.â
âNot important? Why does it seem as though youâre kind of worried about her?â
It was good that the bell for class was about to ring.
Jun Zeye said, âI have to go to class now. Weâll talk when you have news.â
Before Ning Ruyan could finish speaking, Jun Zeye had already hung up.
The bell for class rang just as Jun Zeye reached the classroom.
However, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs seat was empty.
He looked at the empty seat beside him and frowned.
In front, Feng Tianqi was also puzzled. âClass has already started. Why is Xiaoxiao still not here? Could she be skipping class again?â
âShe didnât skip class. Mu Xiaoxiao is downstairs. Young Master Jie is bringing her here,â the boy beside him said as he pointed towards the window.
Upon hearing this, the students craned their necks and looked outside. As expected, they saw the silhouettes of Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she had just woken up. She seemed drowsy, her eyelids droopy as though she couldnât open them.
Yin Shaojie was chuckling as he pinched both her cheeks. He then lowered his handsome face and said something to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him and slapped his hands away.
Yin Shaojie rubbed the spots she had been pinched with his fingers earlier. He said something to her with a dazzling smile on his face.
