Chapter 6

The sun was halfway set and the clouds were embedded with golden edges. The diluted evening light, thin and hazy, fell into her eyes.

There were blue dots of ink on his sleeve, leaving a faint blue after washing. Qi Ying carefully dragged it into the palm of her hand. She didn’t dare to tug hard because she was afraid that the school uniform would fall from his shoulder.

Ji Rang held her schoolbag in one hand and put his other hand in his pant pocket, walking lazily ahead.

Walking outside the teaching building, not far away, Yu Yue stood by the green planter bed and played with his mobile phone, looking up from time to time. The first few glances were cursory. The last glance was first aimed at Ji Rang, then Qi Ying who was behind Ji Rang. Then the glance turned into a glare.

He shoved his phone into his pocket and rushed over.

Ji Rang also saw him and stopped in place. When Yu Yue rushed forward, he pull the schoolbad into his arms without warning.

Yu Yue hated looking at Qi Ying behind Ji Rang and regardless of whether she could hear or not, he yelled, “Sister, you can’t go with him!”

Ji Rang didn’t look back, just reached out and grabbed the school uniform from his shoulders, shook it, and signaled Qi Ying to let go.

She let go obediently.

The ruthless aura finally disappeared.

Ji Rang was about to leave when Yu Yue couldn’t help to say, “Can you stay away from my sister? She is different from those girls who you played with before.”

Ji Rang laughed out loud as if he heard a big joke.

He tilted his head to look at Yu Yue.

The narrow corners of his eyes were drooping and cold. His dark pupils were like the night sky of winter and even light could not calm the chill.

Yu Yue was shaken in his heart.

At this time, he finally had a clear understanding of the legendary fierce and wicked Haicheng school bully.

Ji Rang picked at the corner of his mouth and as always, smiled indifferently but his tone was chilling, “It’s different, you have to play before you can know.”

Yu Yue was furious.

It looked like he was going to fight him.

Ji Rang whispered, “What? Want to be beaten in front of your sister?”

Yu Yue instantly remembered the fear of being dominated by stomach pain yesterday afternoon.

Fuck, he couldn’t beat Ji Rang.

It’s only true that one has to bend and flex.

He gritted his teeth and gave Ji Rang a glance, grabbed Qi Ying’s wrist, and walked away. Qi Rang was dragged by him a little and after hurriedly following his step, turned back and waved.

Yu Yue felt mad at her.

When they got to the school gate, they received a call from Yu Cheng saying that he would arrive in ten minutes. Yu Yue stood under the tree, typing a message out to Qi Ying with enough energy to almost break the screen.

“Someday you will be sold by Ji Rang and you will still help him count the money!”

Qi Ying returned: “He won’t”

Yu Yan: “?”

Qi Ying: “Trafficking a person is illegal.”

Yu Yan: “?”

Qi Ying: “He won’t do anything illegal.”

Yu Yan: “???”

Just when he was about to reply, Qi Ying’s message came again. She told him what happened at the entrance of the hallway just now. Yu Yue’s face changed and immediately asked her, “Do you know those people?”

Qi Ying shocked her head.

He cursed. He didn’t expect that even a little negligence could cause a gap, what could Qi Ying even have done as a special freshman to cause those miscellaneous things?

Was it true when his father said that bad students like to bully good girls?

Still too terrible!

Getting more and more annoying, Yu Yue saw Ji Rang lazily walking out of the school gate. He patted Qi Ying’s shoulder to signal that she should stay and then rushed over.

As soon as Ji Rang saw him, his face showed impatience and he seemed to be angry. Yu Yue rushed in front of him: “My sister told me what happened! Thank you for helping her out!”

Ji Rang was too lazy to correct him and went to leave.

Yu Yue pulled his arm subconsciously: “Wait, wait, do you know who those who bullied my sister are?”

Ji Rang felt that his temper had never been so good in this life: “You don’t want to live anymore, do you?”

Yu Yue withdrew his hand embarrassedly, “I’m sorry…”

His voice had just fallen when a low-key but expensive black Phantom parked at the school gate lowered its window. A short-haired girl with sunglasses pushed her glassed up to reveal a pair of slender eyes.

With grinning red lips, “Oh, I see, men and women, take it all.”

Ji Rang: “…”

Did he owe this pair of siblings before he died in his last life?

With Yu Yue’s intuition that Ji Rang might hit him, he took two steps away quickly. “Goodbye, bye, I’m gone.”

Ji Rang: “…” He could only speak to the woman inside the car, “What are you doing?”

Ji Yan slowly took off her sunglasses.

A face with deep facial features, reddened eyes and slender eyebrows. Looking at the face alone would make people feel cold and uncomfortable. But the words broke the illusion, “I want to come, then I’ll come, what can you do?”

Ji Rang turned around and left.

Ji Yan hadn’t seen him in half a year but felt that her cousin had become more and more perplexing. She choked and shouted, “Don’t go, don’t go! I was wrong!”

Seeing Ji Rang had no intention of stopping, she was anxious: “If you don’t come back, I’ll hit you with the car!”

All Ji Rang did was laugh.

But it worked. He turned around and gave her a look that seemed to say there was only ten seconds to talk and no time to waste, “What is it?”

Ji Yan was angry: “Can’t I come to you for dinner if I want?”

Ji Rang was stunned for a moment and his expression was not so cold anymore: “Are there any problems with the company project?”

As long as there was a problem with the company and Ji Yan was tossed around by the board members, she would come to him for dinner.

Ji Yan was the daughter of his uncle. After graduating from business school, she took over his uncle’s hotel. She had done well in the industry over the years. Now, she was the famous elegant female president of the talented younger generation.

Of course, the adjective “elegant” was reserved for outsiders. Only her family members knew what she really was like.

In the past two years, no one knew what got into Ji Yan but she started investing in the gaming and animation industry, with a lot of losses. The board had already been dissatisfied with her leadership because of her young age.

Ji Rang was not interested in the business of the adult world, but he was calm and said a few words.

Ji Yan pouted her lips and said nothing. He didn’t say anything but walked around the car and sat in the passenger seat.

The car slowly departed, passing Qi Ying and Yu Yue when making a turn. Yu Yue leaned forward slightly, the boy blocking the fine sunlight for his sister and his mouth seemed to be saying something.

Qi Ying couldn’t hear, still looking at him with a serious face and the slight smile always on the corner of her lips.

She laughed at everyone like this?

Ji Rang snorted.

Ji Yan glanced over his head and said, “Which kid do you like?”

Ji Rang acted like his tail was stomped on: “Who likes her?!”

Ji Yan stretched out a hand and patted his arm, “It’s okay, sister supports you. Modern society is free, the child is tall and handsome, good for you.”

Ji Rang: “???”

Oh.

Five minutes later, Yu Cheng arrived in his red car.

As soon as they got on the vehicle, he asked Yu Yue, “How was school today?”

Yu Cheng thought for a while, “It was okay, almost the same as junior high school, but there is more homework. Our head teacher isn’t some young man who just graduated. I thought he would be messy but when someone was late this morning, punished! The teacher sent people to the office three times.”

Yu Cheng: “Who asked you, I asked Ying Ying.”

Yu Yue: “???”

Am I really your biological child?

Qi Ying probably guessed what Yu Cheng would ask and sent a message to Yu Yue: Don’t tell him what happened, he is busy with work.

Yu Yue thought about it too, his programmer dad was very busy all day long, so they didn’t want to bother him. He simply said a few words to make Yu Cheng feel at ease.

Back home, Wu Yinghua had not returned yet. Yu Yue and Qi Ying first went to do their homework while Yu Cheng called his wife.

Wu Yinghua’s loud voice could be heard over the phone: “I’m shopping at the market. I met an old classmate and chatted for too long. Ask my son what he wants to eat.”

Yu Cheng walked over and asked, “Your mother asks if you have anything you want to eat.”

Yu Yue originally wanted to say anything would be fine but suddenly thought of Ji Rang.

How could his fist be so hard?!

Yu Yue turned his head firmly and said, “Beef!”

Eat beef, big chunks and cuts!

Yu Yinghua soon returned with groceries. When Qi Ying and Yu Yue finished their homework, dinner was served. Yu Yue had just sat down, chopsticks hovering over the pickled pepper and beef when his mother walked over mysteriously with a paper bag.

Shaking the bag like: “Son, look what your mother bought you!”

With that tone, Yu Yue thought his mother bought him a suite.

Looked down. Insurance.

Yu Yue: “…”

Yu Cheng also took a look and said, “Why did you suddenly think of buying insurance? Accident insurance? How old are you, buying this for him?”

Wu Yinghua glanced at him, “What do you know? Life is impermanent, things are unpredictable and accidents are inevitable! Only before the time comes, make a guarantee!”

Yu Yue felt that based on the level of his mother’s culture, this should not be thought of by her.

Sure enough, Wu Yinghua continued: “I met my old classmate in the afternoon. They’ve been in the insurance industry for ten years and are very professional! My son is young now, the sooner I buy it, the better. Classmate said, by the time he is forty, not only will the money be returned, there will also be a dividend!”

Yu Cheng said, “It sounds good, how much is it?”

Wu Yinghua: “Cheap, only three thousand a year.”

Yu Cheng calculated with his finger. For thirty years, it was 3,000 a year, a total of 90,000. Not much but the principal could be received in case of an accident, it seemed really good.

The family of three was very happy. Qi Ying, who had just checked the contract, handed over the documents and her index finger was pointing at one of the clauses, expressing doubt to Yu Yue.

Yu Yue looked down and the clause wrote: Only total disability or death can receive payment.

He shuddered, “Mom. what does this mean?!”

Wu Yinghua looked at it and hesitated, “I don’t quite understand, but my classmate said if you have an accident, the insurance company will pay a million.”

Yu Yue responded, “Total disability or death is one million. Then if I break only one leg, do I have to break the other one myself?”

Wu Yinghua: “???”
