Cheng Wang and Yin Zhiyao got off the bus at the nearest stop, walked to the opposite side of the road, and got on the return bus again. It took twice as long as usual to finally get home.

Yin Zhiyao felt very guilty, feeling that he had wasted Cheng Wan's time, so he remained depressed and silent.

Cheng Wan didn't care and sent her to the door of her house dutifully: "Let's go, go to bed early and don't stay up late."

"Good night."

Yin Zhiyao stared at his back for a long time.

Qiao Zhengyang's "tsk tsk tsk" voice came from beside him: "Women are indeed big pigs with hooves. They have learned to tread two boats."

Yin Zhiyao was startled, and turned around to see Qiao Zhengyang leaning against the fence, half-smiling.

"Whoever steps in two boats!"

"The man who brought you chicken soup that night has one boat; my buddy Cheng Wan has two boats." Qiao Zhengyang counted on his fingers: "You can do it. I also said that Cheng Wan would trick you, but you are the one who dares to love me."

The old sea king."

"It's because there are too few homeworks, or the senior year of high school is too boring." Yin Zhiyao knocked him away hard: "You are the last in the grade, and you are still here meddling in my business."

"Damn, what did you eat to grow up! You are so strong!"

I bumped him lightly and almost suffered internal injuries.

Yin Zhiyao looked at him mockingly: "Hot chicken."

"You're the last one, and you still call me a hot chick."

"Go away, you bastard."

Qiao Zhengyang looked at her back as she went upstairs, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

She and Cheng Wan didn't get along for a few days. They were as good as brothers and sisters, but they never looked down upon him.

Of course, Qiao Zhengyang didn't care about her good looks, because he didn't like his sister nor did he want her.

But... it's the comparison that hurts.

Qiao Zhengyang rubbed his nose, feeling not very pretty.

In the evening, Yin Zhiyao was worried about inviting his parents. He didn't dare to tell Su Wenrui, so he could only call Brother Jian anxiously.

"Brother, brother, brother!"

"Have you turned into a chicken? What are you talking about?"

"Brother, can you come to school tomorrow?"

"Why?"

Yin Zhiyao frowned and said hesitantly: "The English teacher said she wants to see you."

"see me?"

Yin Zhiyao endured goosebumps and boasted awkwardly: "Well, she heard that my brother is the best brother in the world, so she wanted to invite the best brother to the school to have tea and chat about how to care for underage children.

Physical and mental health.”

His voice became softer and softer as he spoke, feeling less confident.

Xie Yuan exposed the little girl's trick and said speechlessly: "So you just invite the parents?"

"To a certain extent, you can say that."

Xie Yuan ruthlessly said: "Ask your mother."

Yin Zhiyao knelt on the bed and begged repeatedly: "Please, really please! I only came to you when I had no choice. Brother bitch, the best brother bitch in the world."

"I'm not much older than you. Your teacher won't let it go. He might scold me too."

"You should dress maturely, put on your hat, stay up late tonight, and don't shave your beard. You will look like a middle-aged man!"

"I stayed up all night to help you with your parents' arrangements. What do I owe you?"

"Oh, bitch brother, please." Yin Zhiyao lay on the bed and prostrated himself: "I will kneel down for you."

Although Xie Yuan didn't explicitly agree to him, he didn't refuse either. He just said he would think about it.

Based on Yin Zhiyao's understanding of him, this matter can be settled.

Although Brother Bian is only a few years older than her, he is a very reliable person. As long as he doesn't explicitly refuse something, he will probably agree.

Yin Zhiyao went to bed with peace of mind.

The next day, Xie Yuan wore mature clothes and a hat that covered half of his face and came to Nancheng No. 1 Middle School.

The guard stopped him and asked about the situation.

Xie Yuan reported the name of Yin Zhiyao's class and head teacher, saying that he was the parent who came to meet the teacher. The guard had no suspicion and asked him to register his information and let him in.

Nancheng No. 1 Middle School is located in the city center and has no room for expansion, so the school is very small.

The entrance is to the arc-shaped track and field playground. On both sides of the playground are green paths, passing through the lush French plane trees. Directly opposite is a triangular teaching building. The teaching building is arc-shaped on three sides, with an arc-shaped floor-to-ceiling glass window in the middle.

Belongs to the classroom area.

Xie Yuan did not go directly to the , but went to the classroom where Yin Zhiyao was, preparing to call the little girl and they would go to the together.

Just then, I received a text message from "Gou Girl" on my phone: "Brother, I'm waiting for you in the corridor on the third floor. Are you here?"

Xie Yuan was too lazy to reply to her and went straight to the corridor on the third floor.

Yin Zhiyao had a ponytail on his head and was wearing a fresh blue and white school uniform. He was lying on the window sill and peering downstairs, looking anxious.

Xie Yuan saw the little girl from a distance and was about to walk towards her.

However, the next second, Cheng Wan came up from the stairs holding a basketball and bumped into him.

It was pitch dark in the woods that night, and it was impossible to recognize his face. Cheng Wan only felt that his figure was quite familiar, and he caught a glimpse of his broken and bandaged arm.

"stop."

The moment they passed each other, Cheng Wan stopped him and called out: "You are... the one who attacked my friend that night."

Xie Yuan stopped, but did not look at him, and said calmly: "Why, you still want to break my other arm?"

"I'm not interested in your other arm." Cheng Wan walked up to him: "Are you here to see Qiao Zhengyang's sister?"

"She is not his sister." Xie Yuan rolled his lips a little, pursed his lips, and said word by word: "Not worthy."

Cheng Wan was a few meters away from him, but he could already feel that this guy was filled with a strong aura of hostility, and he was definitely not a good person.

"Whether you are worthy or not, what does it have to do with you?" Cheng Wan put his hands in his pockets and raised his voice: "Who are you? Your boyfriend?"

Xie Yuan said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with you."

"She is going to invite her parents today."

Cheng Wang looked Xie Yuan up and down and saw that he was wearing an old-fashioned leather jacket, his hair was slightly messy, and he still had green stubble on his chin.

He is so smart that he can naturally see the purpose of Xie Yuan's coming here at a glance: "She does look a few years older than that day, but you are trying to pretend to be her parent, so you are a bit young."

Xie Yuan didn't want to hear a word of his nonsense anymore and was ready to leave.

Behind him, Cheng Wan said calmly: "This is Nancheng No. 1 Middle School, the top high school in the province. The teachers are not vegetarians. One or two students who violate disciplines will be expelled every semester. If you are really good for her,

Just stop messing around with her and call her father over."

Xie Yuan's steps suddenly stopped and he looked back at him.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Wan raised his chin: "Do you want to do it again?"

Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with intense strength, and his voice was low and hoarse: "She has no father, and I am her father."

...

"It's so slow." Yin Zhiyao looked at the time and saw that it was the last class soon. Why didn't Brother Bian come yet?

"Don't worry, maybe you have already entered the school gate." Yu Bai comforted her at the side.

Yin Zhiyao took out his cell phone and called Xie Yuan, saying anxiously: "Hey, brother, where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

"What, not coming? How could you not come? You already promised me!"

"You didn't agree, but you didn't refuse either!"

"Xie Yuan, you... tricked me!"

Yu Bai asked: "What's going on?"

Yin Zhiyao hung up the phone and said with a sad face: "It's over, my brother can't come..."

Yu Bai frowned: "Not coming?"

"It was clearly agreed upon, and he didn't refuse, so he said he would definitely come. Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Yin Zhiyao couldn't understand that she had been living with Xie Yuan since she was twelve years old. Over the years, Xie Yuan had never let her down.

Over at the Arc Administration Building, class committee member Huang Lili came over, smiled unkindly at Yin Zhiyao and said, "Miss Zhang wants you to go to the right now."
