Without turning around to face him, Qiao Nian looked down with dark eyes and simply replied, “There are many roads, but studying is the most practical road for everyone. Everyone needs a ticket to enter and leave society, but how well you can mix in society depends on your personal ability.”

“Your task now is to study hard.”

Once she finished speaking, she no longer reasoned with the adolescent kid and waved to him. “Okay, I'm leaving. Go back and take good care of your mother. Make sure you watch Uncle Chen drink the soup I gave him.”

Chen Yuan looked at her back and silently clenched his fists.

He must get ahead and be outstanding!

Qiao Nian slowly walked to the top of the stairs and greeted the two people waiting for her.

“Brother Ye.”

“Gu…”

She suddenly couldn't remember what Gu San's name was.

Gu San reacted quickly and immediately said wittily, “Miss Qiao, just call me Gu San. I'm the third child in my family.”

She could just address Master w.a.n.g as “brother”.

It was music to Master w.a.n.g's ears!

Sure enough, after hearing her call him “brother”, Master w.a.n.g's expression looked much better.

Miss Qiao had been so casual and perfunctory about it.

It was obvious she didn't care much about it.

But it meant all the world to him!

Qiao Nian nodded. “Gu San.”

“Don't call me Miss Qiao, just call me Qiao Nian.”

“Miss Qiao” reminded her of some bad people and things.

Gu San very discerningly changed his words. “Qiao Nian, it's a nice name. How about I call you Nian Nian?”

He turned his head and said to Ye w.a.n.gchuan, “Master w.a.n.g, don't call Qiao Nian by her name. Nian Nian sounds more intimate.”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at him. Gu San's boiling blood was immediately frozen in place. He stopped behaving arrogantly and stood with his hands interlaced honestly.

Glancing at Gu San, and then at the extremely obedient girl in front, Ye w.a.n.gchuan asked, “You came to see Aunt Chen?”

After eating mala that night, she had mentioned that she had a good relations.h.i.+p with the woman who sold mala.

But he didn't expect them to be so close.

She even went to see her after school.

Qiao Nian nodded casually. “… I guess.” She had taught the adolescent kid a good lesson on the way.

Gu San listened anxiously beside him, and then asked nonchalantly, “Nian Nian, I just saw you talking with a boy of the same age in the corridor. Who was that?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan's eyelids jumped twice, his eyebrows sharpened, and he glared at him.

Gu San shut his mouth again.

His voice low and sultry, he answered before Qiao Nian could, “It's probably the boy we saw that night. His name is Chen Yuan, right? He's Aunt Chen's son.”

Qiao Nian didn't expect him to have such a good memory and looked up in surprise and shock. “Yes, that's him.”

Wow~

This was the first time Gu San saw a man explaining the ident.i.ty of his own love rival.

Master w.a.n.g was impressive.

But he didn't dare to laugh and only swallowed his laughter stiffly.

“Since we're here, why don't you come to see Chen Chen with me?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan saw that she was still carrying a schoolbag. He reached out with his beautiful, long, and slender fingers, and took her bag with his powerful grip. “Give me your schoolbag, I'll carry it for you.”

The schoolbag was filled with precious things, so Qiao Nian frowned and hesitated for a moment, but her bag was arbitrarily s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
