Sheng Yuxiao had already pushed the car door halfway open when he suddenly noticed people sneakily ncing in Xiao Ya''s direction from not far away.


    His brows furrowed, and his expression grew colder. Instead of getting out of the car immediately, he carefully observed to see who else was bold enough to secretly watch Xiao Ya.


    What he discovered surprised him...


    He noticed that almost everyone who walked past Xiao Ya would unconsciously turn their heads to look at her again.


    Sheng Yuxiao thought back to his own middle school days... back then, he was more interested in looking at climbing picks than his ssmates.


    What was wrong with middle school students these days? Why were they so interested in their ssmates?


    This generation of students was problematic.


    Sheng Yuxiao made this cold conclusion.


    Then he raised his phone and took a picture of the boy who dared to talk to Xiao Ya while blushing, clearly up to no good.


    —Just to make sure he wouldn''t target the wrong personter.


    At that moment, Xiao Ya suddenly turned around.


    Why hadn''t Sheng Yuxiao left yet?


    "What... what are you looking at?" The boy who was talking to Xiao Ya craned his neck.


    Xiao Ya answered honestly: "Looking at my brother."


    "Your... your brother? Where is he?" The boy became a bit nervous.


    Xiao Ya pointed to the Panamera outside the school gate.


    The boy took half a step back, creating some distance, and said quietly, "Actually, I heard you have really good grades, and I wanted to ask if you''d like to go to the science exhibition together sometime?"


    The boy paused, then quickly added, "I also ranked first in our ss in the entrance exam."


    Xiao Ya asked, "How old are you?"


    The boy''s nervousness decreased a little as he answered, "Thirteen."


    "You''re thirteen, not three. Why do you need someone to apany you to the science exhibition?"


    "..." The boy was stumped, unable to say anything.


    Seeing that he had fallen silent, Xiao Ya still politely said "bye-bye" to him, then adjusted her backpack straps and left.


    The boy was left standing there alone, head hanging low, looking quite pitiful.


    Meanwhile, the person who had been lurking in the shadows finally darted out from the bushes and ran straight toward the ninth-grade ssrooms.


    "Brother Mu! Brother Mu! Something terrible has happened!"


    "I saw someone trying to hit on your secret crush..."


    Mu Bai, while ying a game on his phone without looking up, asked, "My secret crush? Who? I don''t even know..."


    He stopped mid-sentence.


    "You mean... Zhang Ruoshui?" Mu Bai''s facial muscles twitched.


    He never expected that after all these years, he still hadn''t found a chance to avenge his past humiliation.


    "Yeah, she''s in the middle school division now, right? I just went to ask around. They say her name is well-known among both eighth and ninth graders."


    "She''s that famous?" Mu Bai was puzzled.


    "Yeah, she''s pretty, gets good grades, has a good temperament, very well-behaved..."


    "...Well-behaved???" Mu Bai couldn''t help but interrupt, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"


    The underssman corrected himself: "That''s not what I said, that''s how others describe her."


    Mu Bai: "..."


    That''s because they haven''t seen that crazy girl pinning people down and beating them up.


    The underssman suddenly looked at Mu Bai curiously: "Brother Mu, you don''t think she''s well-behaved? Then what do you like about her?"


    Mu Bai: "..."


    Mu Bai squeezed out the words: "I like her heroic appearance when she''s beating people up."


    The underssman immediately ttered him: "Brother Mu is truly Brother Mu, your interests are so different from ordinary people."


    Mu Bai stared at this underssman: "How did I end up in the same ss as you?"


    Originally, when they entered middle school, some of their former ssmates had gone abroad, some had changed schools, some had gone to different sses... gradually, fewer people knew about him being beaten up by Zhang Ruoshui.


    Yet this one fish had slipped through the!


    The underssman scratched his head innocently: "Brother Mu''s father is good to my dad, so of course I have to stick with Brother Mu. Don''t worry, Brother Mu, I''ll definitely keep an eye on everything around Zhang Ruoshui..."


    Mu Bai wanted to curse but held back.


    ...He really wanted everyone to know that Zhang Ruoshui was fierce! She wasn''t some well-behaved little girl at all!


    Soon it was time for school to end.


    This time Zhou Xiaoshu was smarter; instead of waiting at the school gate, she went directly to Xiao Ya''s ssroom.


    "Can we finally have spicy hot pot today?" Zhou Xiaoshu asked hopefully.


    Xiao Ya looked at herplexion: "Why is your face so pale?"


    Zhou Xiaoshu made a constipated expression, clutching her stomach painfully and said, "Blood loss. Aunt Flo is visiting, you know what that is, right?"


    Xiao Ya nodded, taking out a small bag of red dates from her bag to give her.


    She also poured some hot water from her thermos for her to drink.


    Zhou Xiaoshu ate the red dates and drank the hot water with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Ya, you''re so good to me."


    An Ying, walking behind them, looked down at her own stomach. Unfortunately, she wasn''t in any pain.


    Xiao Ya then asked Zhou Xiaoshu: "Are you in pain?"


    Zhou Xiaoshu nodded: "Ites in cramps, but I still have toe to school. I really don''t want to be at school."


    "Do you want some painkillers?" Xiao Ya started searching through her bag again.


    Zhou Xiaoshu''s face drooped: "My parents won''t let me take them, they say they''re bad for health..."


    "It''s okay to take them, Qin Sui researched a lot about it."


    Zhou Xiaoshu was startled: "Brother Qin Sui even looks into this kind of thing?"


    Xiao Ya nodded, passing her the medicine: "Yes, he bought these."


    Zhou Xiaoshu suddenly looked down at the red dates in horror: "These weren''t bought by Young Master Sheng, were they?"


    She had eaten them with such relish, consuming something meant for Xiao Ya.


    "Am I going to be kidnapped in a sack?" Zhou Xiaoshu gulped.


    Xiao Ya: ?


    "No, these were bought by Qin Sui too."


    Zhou Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief: "Good thing I paid protection money to Brother Qin Sui before, so we kind of have a connection. Brother Qin Sui definitely won''t beat me up."


    Xiao Ya pressed her lips together and corrected her: "Sheng Yuxiao wouldn''t either, he has a very good temper."


    Yesterday she had pulled out two of Sheng Yuxiao''s hairs, and he hadn''t even gotten angry.


    Zhou Xiaoshu hesitated: "...I suppose so."


    The three of them walked together toward the school gate.


    Unexpectedly, they spotted Sheng Yuxiao''s car at a nce, and when Zhou Xiaoshu turned her head, she also saw Qin Sui''s car.


    Zhou Xiaoshu deeply realized she wouldn''t be getting her spicy hot pot today.Aliali: 674aec4f3f33ac49acb42


    "I''ll... I''ll go ahead first..."


    At this moment, Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui got out of their cars one after another.


    "Here, a gift," Sheng Yuxiao held out his hand.


    "You already gave me one yesterday," Xiao Ya didn''t take it.


    Even Qin Sui turned back to look at Sheng Yuxiao in surprise.


    "This is new. ...Um, it''s to congratte you on getting your period, you''re growing up," Sheng Yuxiao said, trying to keep his tone steady. "It''s a custom in foreign countries."


    He had read that some children might be afraid of this moment, unable to ept such big changes in themselves.


    So he wanted to tell her this was good, not bad.


    Zhou Xiaoshu was stunned and turned to ask: "You got your period too?"


    She suddenly felt overwhelmed with grief: "Why does everyone else get gifts for getting their period?"
