Chapter 8

Footsteps came from the corridor outside.

Ji Rang heard a middle-aged male voice saying, “Why has Ying Ying been taking so long and not come back yet? Go in and see.”

Yu Yue became angry: “That’s the women’s toilet! Who’s going in there?!”

Ji Rang took two steps back to put a distance between them. His index finger was placed on his lips motioning to be quiet. She couldn’t even speak.

Footsteps were approaching.

Ji Rang tore off his neck tie, turned and leapt up towards the window of the ventilated place and jumped out.

Qi Ying exclaimed silently, ran to the window and looked down. From the height of the second floor, Ji Rang landed on the ground steadily, got up and clapped his hands, and strode up to the mountain bike parked downstairs.

The roar steadily rose then the black and red shadow pulled out from the residual stillness of the air and disappeared from her sight.

Behind her, Yu Yue sneaked in and seeing Qi Ying standing in the restroom, felt relieved. He took a lingering glance at the door of the woman’s toilet and reported to Yu Cheng, “Sister is all right, just watching the scenery by the window.”

He also glanced out the window and saw nothing but the exhaust smoke that hadn’t yet disappeared from the air, his facial expression was depressed and he pulled Qi Ying away.

Downstairs, Yu Cheng drove to the Italian restaurant for dinner. When they looked at the menu, the price was really expensive. Qi Ying also saw it and turned the menu around, well, as long as they have vegetable salad. Yu Cheng knew what she was thinking when she looked at the menu and he suddenly felt a bit sour.

He whispered, “Your aunt told me that Ying Ying likes pasta the most.”

Yu Yue looked at his dad for a moment.

The corner of Yu Cheng’s eyes were a little red and he rubbed his eyes to cover it up. “You aunt can’t go anymore, can’t I let her daughter eat a little spaghetti.”

He called the waiter over and ordered the signature pasta on the menu.

When they were served, Qi Ying froze and looked up at Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng mouthed in an exaggerated manner, “Eat fast.”

She smiled, nodded, help the fork and rolled the pasta into her mouth. This was her first time eating pasta, but it tasted familiar, like an old friend, bouncing all the along the tip of her tongue.

A woman’s loving face flashed in her head.

Sitting opposite herself, she said tenderly, “Ying Ying, eat fast. After finishing, let’s pick dad up from work.”

Her heart clenched fiercely, as if pierced with a barbed needle, and her tears almost came out.

This body still couldn’t accept memories of her parents.

Qi Ying clenched her teeth and forcibly interrupted the both familiar and unfamiliar pictures in her head. Yu Yue cut up his steak and put a few pieces on her plate, “Sister, this is delicious.”

She understood what he was trying to do and nodded with a smile.

…

The first class of the second year in the afternoon was physical education.

In the first PE class of the semester, the students heard that the PE teacher had changed and were looking forward to it.

The bell hadn’t rang yet so everyone was free. Yue Li didn’t like sports. She bought two creamsicles at the canteen and pulled Qi Ying to the steps near the basketball court to eat them.

Talking using WeChat: “I hate physical education the most, it’s hot and tiring. I hope all the physical education classes this semester are delayed by the math teacher!”

At midcourt, a basketball flew over to them but the strength was not great and it landed in midair, rolling all the way to their feet.

Not far away, a boy in a black vest shouted at them with a smile: “Little classmate, help throw the ball over.”

Yue Li glanced at the muscles on his arm and she blushed. She bit the popsicle in her mouth, picked up the basketball and ran over.

When the boy saw her coming, he immediately laughed and said, “It’s enough to just kick it over. You didn’t need to come over.”

She didn’t know if the sun was too big, but this smile felt dazzling.

Yue Li’s face turned even redder and she didn’t dare look at him, so she ran away.

Ten minutes later, the bell rang and Yue Li took Qi Ying to gather for class. The sports commissioner directed everyone to look up. The young boy who had just played basketball put on a white sportswear jacket thrown the ground and held the basketball out towards them.

He took a red whistle from his pocket and put it on, saying, “Hello classmates, I’m your physical education teacher this semester, my name is Shen Yue.”

Yue Li: “!!!”

She loved physical education!

Qi Ying watched the mouth that said she didn’t like physical education and they finished the whole physical education class as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. When the class was already over, Yue Li kept turning back to look.

The girls in the class were also excited to discuss the handsome new teacher. Yue Li silently prayed in her heart: God, let me not drink milk tea for one semester, so that the PE class this semester will not be occupied by the math teacher!

…

After school was finished in the afternoon, Qi Ying was still packing her schoolbag. Yu Yue was already waiting at the entrance of the classroom.

Yue Li had met him a few times and greeted him familiarly: “Little Brother is here to pick up Ying Ying again.”

Yu Yue: “…”

Who can be called Little Brother by a little dwarf?!

With a cold face, he carried Qi Ying’s schoolbag and walked out. Yue Li pulled Qi Ying behind her and secretly sent Qi Ying a message: Your brother is so cute! I also want to have such a brother!

Immediately after sending it, the phone hadn’t even turned off and she saw the cute brother angrily yell at the boys whistling at Qi Ying: “Where is your mother’s whistle? Want to die?!”

Yu LI: “…”

Forget it.

Yu Cheng was working overtime today, so Yu Yue led Qi Ying to take the bus. There were a lot of people on the bus, all of them were students and they had long taken up the seats. Yu Yue asked Qi Ying to lean on the walls inside the bus and used one hand to play with his mobile phone.

As soon as the car moved, he heard someone shouting: “Student Qi Ying, sit here!”

Yu Yue looked aside and the girls in the first row stood up from their seats and smiled to make way for Qi Ying.

Qi Ying couldn’t heard so she looked out the windows quietly. Yu Yue didn’t know the girl, but someone gave a seat to his sister. Of course, he would not refuse and dragged Qi Ying over.

When he got to the seat, he thanked the girl who gave up the spot and helped Qi Ying to sit down. The girl said, “No thanks, it is proper to be courteous to the disabled.”

She spoke loudly, her voice clear and crisp and everyone in the car looked over.

Yu Yue reacted.

He pushed Qi Ying behind him and pointed the girl’s nose: “Are you fucking eating shit? That’s why your mouth stinks?”

The girls’ faces were stiff and their smiles could not be maintained. Someone beside him said, “What’s wrong with you? Gave you a seat and you’re scolding them?”

Yu Yue nodded fiercely in the air and waved his finger, “Let Lao Tzu hear you say the word disabled again, I’ll turn you into a disabled person, believe it or not?”

The girl changed her face, didn’t dare to say anything and finally sat back in position under the gaze of everyone in the car.

Yu Yue sneered, took out his phone and snapped a picture of her.

The girl was furious, “What are you doing?!”

Yu Yue gave her a cold look, “If my sister gets bullied in the future, I will send this picture to the principal and tell him you instigated it.”

Girl: “…”

Are you an elementary school student? Student tells teacher, you tell school principal?

But in the end, she was shocked and didn’t dare say anything.

Yu Yue put his phone away and shouted at the others, “What about your father?”

Students in the car: “…”

Who the heck is so arrogant.

One of the boys in front whispered quietly to the classmate beside him: “This is the guy who scolded Ji Rang during the first two days of school. He was blocked by Ji Rang that day and retreated without injury.”

Classmate: “!!!”

Big man! Can’t afford to mess with him!!!

There was a lot of space opened up around Yu Yue and Qi Ying.

When they got off the bus, Yu Yue took out his phone and sent the photo just taken of the young girl to his buddy, Yang Xinyuan, and asked: “Do you know this girl?”

The news from Yan Xinyuan came back quickly: “I don’t know who she is. You like her? Brother will help you find out right away!”

Yu Yue: “Get off, I’m not blind. Go and ask who and which class.”

Yan Xinyuan sent a smirking expression and the news came over a short while later.

“First year of high school. He Jing.”

Yu Yue frowned.

While he was still thinking about it, Yan Xinyuan’s news came over again: “My wife said that she’s part of the school flower, Xue Manqing’s, group. But her family seems quite ordinary, so I don’t know how she talks to that group. The rich second generation plays together.

Yu Yue had just entered school when he also heard that the school flower, Xue Manqing, was pursuing Ji Rang.

Hmph, the result is still related to Ji Rang.

He knew that there was nothing good about that guy.

No! He must let his sister understand that that person is not a good person, so that his sister will stay far away from Ji Rang in the future. Hearing about it is nothing but seeing is believing, he needed to find a change to show her Ji Rang’s true face.

Comrade Yu Yue came home with a heavy face and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the scent of rice from the kitchen.

With a look of joy on his face, he immediately forgot about the troubles just now and rushed to the kitchen: “Mom! Did you get the money back? When should we buy the computer?”

Wu Yinghua: “No.”

Yu Yue: “???”

Was there some kind of law?

He said angrily: “You call your classmate, let me talk to them! The contract is written clearly and plainly, the full amount can be refunded during the hesitation period and she cannot refuse it!”

Wu Yinghua wiped her hands on her apron, “Ah, don’t worry. Mom will show you something.” She walked into the bedroom, took out a document, looked at it with a mysterious smile again, “Look at this.”

Yu Yue took a look.

XX insurance, critical illness insurance.

Yu Yue: “???”

Wu Yinghua: “I talked with Gui Zhi for a long time today. We misunderstood her. Disability actually belongs to the category of serious illness. It is not covered by accident insurance. She recommended this illness insurance to me. It is very comprehensive! There are no omissions, from cancer and disability to cats and dogs biting, it full protects your health!”

Yu Yue: “…………So, not only did you not refund the money, you bought another one?!”
