427 Call Her Big Sister
He couldn’t understand the operating principle of high-speed rail. How could it run so fast, at more than a hundred meters in less than a second? And so steadily, too. The people in the carriages were not afraid at all, and they could even fall asleep.
After arriving at their station, Chu Yuen raised his head and looked at the high dome of the high-speed rail station, which was full of modern steel structures and huge electronic screens, as well as the ceaseless crowd flowing like tide waters. He suddenly felt that a door to a new world was slowly opening to him.
“Mom, Dad, you guys go back and rest first. I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first.” Chu Ning looked at her parents and smiled.
She left the high-speed rail station, and Chu Yuen followed behind her with great tacit understanding.
“You have to study first. That is the most important thing.” Chu Ning tapped her temple with her long fingers.
She believed that, with Chu Yuen’s intelligence, he should understand the importance of the matter. After all, even though this fellow was younger than her, he had dared to scheme against her in the mountains.
“I know. If I want to be your helper, I have to arm myself first. Knowledge is the best weapon,” Chu Yuen replied absent-mindedly.
His eyes were attracted by the scenes along the way.
“You’re not becoming my helper. You’re studying for yourself, not for me. I hope that you won’t forget your original intentions when you get better in the future. We might be able to help the people of the mountains out of their predicament together.” Chu Ning shook her head.
The main reason she had brought Chu Yuen out was to properly nurture him and repay the people in her hometown.
“Yes.” After hearing Chu Ning’s words, Chu Yuen suddenly retracted his gaze.
His expression became calm again.
He had come out to find a way out for the villagers in the mountains.
After taking down Cao Xing, this would be his next target.
“How old are you this year?” Chu Ning asked with a smile.
“Sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen? I don’t remember.” The teenaged Chu Yuen didn’t really want to answer this question, so he gave a vague answer.
“Come over here.” Chu Ning waved at him with a smile.
“Er…” Chu Yuen shook his head subconsciously.
“Come here, you dare try to run away!” Chu Ning raised her voice as her expression suddenly turned cold.
“Hmph.” The young man walked over unwillingly.
He raised his head slightly to look at this person who was taller than him and extremely beautiful. He was actually a little afraid.
One must know that he was not afraid even when he was facing a tyrant like Cao Xing.
“I’ll ask you one last time. How old are you exactly, and specifically, your date of birth?” Chu Ning said with a smile.
“I’m sixteen this year…” Chu Yuen had no choice but to tell Chu Ning the details.
In order for Chu Yuen to survive in the city, she had to prepare an identity card for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the chance to go to school.
He was an illegal resident.
“That’s a good boy. Are you hungry?” Chu Ning continued, noting it down in her head.
“What, you want to treat me to a meal?” Chu Yuen swallowed. He had been hungry for a while now.
“If I don’t, do you have the money to buy it?” Chu Ning felt that Chu Yuen was quite cute when he wasn’t up to no good.
“I… I can go and make a living. There are many jobs in the city. I don’t believe that no one wants me.” Chu Yuen braced himself and replied.
“Oh, really? What do you have?” Chu Ning asked jokingly.
“Alright, I won’t. Help me for a while, and when I have money in the future, I’ll pay you back tenfold. Trust me, I mean what I say.” The teenaged Chu Yuen was full of confidence when he said this.
He felt that as long as he was given some time to completely familiarize himself with the city, he would definitely be able to rise quickly given his intelligence.
“Oh? You’re not independent yet, and you’re already thinking of negotiating terms with me? The conditions are established on the basis that both sides are equal. Do you think you have the right to make requests of me now?” Chu Ning mercilessly attacked him.
Although this Chu Yuen was a genius, if he wasn’t suppressed, with his intelligence, who knew what he would do.
Chu Ning had to make him recognize the reality. He had to be down-to-earth and not be impetuous.
“No,” Chu Yuen muttered, clenching his fists and lowering his head.
Although he was unwilling, he knew that what Chu Ning said was true.
“Then call me Big Big Sister and I’ll protect you from now on,” Chu Ning said with a smile as she looked at Chu Yuen with great interest.
“This…” Chu Yuen scratched his head and looked at Chu Ning awkwardly.
“What? Is it an injustice to you to call me Big Sister? Alright then, you can go hungry and stop following me,” Chu Ning said casually, waving her hand.
“Big Sister,” Chu Yuen said, barely audibly.
“I can’t hear you. Louder!” Chu Ning deliberately said.
“Big Sister!” Chu Yuen’s face reddened as he shouted.
