Chapter 528: Don’t Offend My Younger Brother and Use Him as Cheap Labor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A group of people waited outside the school gate for Wen Huai, who had just arrived at school as the top scorer in the national college entrance exam. Dean Tang had arranged some tasks for him related to the opening ceremony.

Sitting in Dean Tang’s office, Wen Huai looked at him helplessly.

“Dean Tang, since we’re both freshmen kings, why are you assigning the opening ceremony tasks to me? Don’t forget, there’s still the freshman king.”

Tang Ming looked into Wen Huai’s innocent eyes and smiled affectionately, “Look at you; your eyes are warmer than your sister’s. If I could handle her, I wouldn’t need to bother you! Take these materials and discuss them with her; if possible, she could also give a speech on stage.”

After hearing Tang Ming’s words, Wen Huai understood that he was only Tang Ming’s second choice. He was afraid to approach Wen Xin because he feared her.

Wasn’t that a bit too much?

“Dean Tang, it would be better to approach her directly. What’s the point of me relaying messages!” Knowing her disdain for hassles, Wen Huai did not want to trouble Wen Xin. Approaching her directly wouldn’t end well.

Tang Ming put down his pen, looked up at Wen Huai seriously, and said earnestly, “Young Master Wen, we all know your sister’s character very well. Perhaps you should take on this responsibility. After all…”

“After all, you are the legitimate top scorer, and I’d rather have her start in the lab sooner; it needs her.”

Tang Ming was aware of Wen Xin’s talents and had always worried she would decline offers from two major labs. Now that Wen Xin had joined the physics department, she wouldn’t be far from physics research, fulfilling his long-held wish.

Having wasted so much time with Tang Ming, Wen Huai lost his patience. He picked up the speech draft from the table, neatly folded it, and put it in his pocket.

“Alright, I can agree to this but try to keep the hassles to a minimum in the future. I’m very busy.”

Wen Huai had already joined a research institute a few days ago and was part of a project. His visit to the school was already squeezing his time, and he really didn’t have time for these messy tasks.

“My sister is waiting for me to have lunch. I have to go now.” Wen Huai quickly left the dean’s office.

Watching Wen Huai leave, Tang Ming smiled softly, relieved that both of President Wen’s children had grown up, and the research institute could look forward to a bright future.

Wen Xin stood outside the school gate, head down, absorbed in her game. Passersby couldn’t help but glance her way. Seeing this, Mu Chengxi stepped behind Wen Xin to shield her from prying eyes.

Leaning lazily against Mu Chengxi’s back, Wen Xin continued her game without slowing down, speaking indifferently, “I just wanted to go to school.”

Ten minutes earlier, Wen Xin was added to the class group, where discussions about this year’s two freshman kings were ongoing. Previously, there was only one such title, but this year, their physics department had not only a top scorer but also a student who scored full marks through college entrance.

Many were curious about which of the two freshman kings was stronger.

Listening to Wen Xin’s impatient tone, Mu Chengxi smiled lightly, “How about going home to stay? It might be less troublesome.”

“No, I’ll stay at school for a few days. After the opening ceremony, I’ll be going to a training base for military training.”

Wen Xin understood Mu Chengxi’s persistent efforts to get her home, but she was seizing this chance to relax before returning to the tiger’s den.

At that moment, Wen Huai came out of the school, followed by several young girls chatting about something.

Ling Xu’er became unsettled on seeing this; she had followed Wen Huai to the physics department precisely to prevent anyone from snatching him. It was only the first day of school, and Wen Huai was already attracting too much attention. Wasn’t that a bit much?

“Student Wen, our student union is looking forward to your joining…”

“Student Wen, you might also consider our club…”

“Student Wen, we…”

“Ladies, I’m also interested in joining the student union. Are there any requirements?” Ling Xu’er rushed in front of the senior girls chasing Wen Huai, using her petite frame to shield him, creating distance between them and Wen Huai.

Just as Wen Xin finished her game, she witnessed this scene and wrapped her arms around Mu Chengxi’s waist, resting her head on his back, observing with a detached air, her voice light.

“Ling Xu’er’s reaction seems a bit off…”

“In high school, Ling Xu’er protected Wen Huai very tightly; she dealt with all the love letters sent to him by the younger students.” Tan Xingyue quickly chimed in, agreeing with Wen Xin’s teasing.

Even she, who was usually slow to catch on to emotions, could see Ling Xu’er’s feelings for Wen Huai.

In the next second, everyone saw Wen Huai stretch out his arm, wrap it around Ling Xu’er’s neck, and bring her close to his side, speaking gently yet politely to the senior girls.

“Sorry, I’m quite busy, so I might be unable to participate in some activities. Thank you, ladies, for your kindness.”

After finishing, Wen Huai nodded slightly to the stunned senior girls, then led Ling Xu’er towards Wen Xin.

Following the direction Wen Huai left, the senior girls caught sight of Wen Xin and were taken aback, not expecting the two freshman kings to know each other.

Seeing Wen Huai successfully escape the crowd, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand, his tone light as he joked with Wen Huai, “So busy just at the start of school, will scheduling lunch with you require an appointment from now on?”

Listening to Mu Chengxi’s teasing, Wen Huai turned his head and looked at Wen Xin with a complaining glance, somewhat helplessly saying, “It’s all because of my sister. Dean Tang doesn’t dare approach her, so he comes to me.”

Wen Huai’s complaint finally elicited some reaction from Wen Xin; she leaned on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder and turned her head, “Why is Dean Tang afraid of me? I’m not going to eat him up. But you capable people should work harder! Young man, work harder …”

“I’m hungry; let’s go eat.”

Wen Xin grabbed Mu Chengxi’s hand and headed towards the car, with Wen Huai sighing helplessly behind them. Ling Xu’er, naturally not wanting to miss a chance to stick with Wen Huai, followed them to Mu Chengxi’s car.

Tan Xingyue wanted to catch up, but Liang Luoyu stopped her, “The car is full; come with me in my car instead.”
