“I bumped into him really hard, and my glasses fell and broke. He said that he would like to pay for it, but I refused. He insisted because his father might beat him up if he found out about this. What should I do? Should I let him pay?” asked Xie Wanyu. She wanted a second opinion. Since Luan Rongrong seed to know Li Zexuan, perhaps she can verify whether his father was that terrifying.

“I have seen Li Zexuan’s broadcast,” said Luan Rongrong. “His father is quite fierce. He is also very strict. If I was half as good as Li Zexuan, my father would praise to the skies. But his father is cold and aloof. He never praises Li Zexuan, no matter how much he achieves in life.” Luan Rongrong knew quite a lot about him from the news and tabloids.

Xie Wanyu was even more worried now. If she had known, she would have just made him pay a little and be done with the whole affair.

“He is in Class 3,” said Luan Rongrong. “Maybe you can tell him tomorrow.”

Luan Rongrong had lots of ideas in her mind. If Xie Wanyu beca friends with Li Zexuan, then she would get to be friends with him too!

“I… maybe.” Xie Wanyu didn’t dare to seek out Li Zexuan. It would draw too much attention.

Li Zexuan guessed that Sun Mingtao might have returned to the dorms. He took a detour toward the pavilion behind one of the school buildings. He wanted so peace and quiet.

He was deep in thought. The girl had really looked scared. It bugged him. Of course, Li Yanchen wouldn’t co after him for breaking a pair of glasses, but still, Li Zexuan felt bad for not compensating.

He recalled the broken glasses. The lenses hadn’t been too thick, so the power might not be that much. The fra had been silver.

Li Zexuan asked permission from a teacher to leave the campus for a few hours that night. He went to an optical shop to buy glasses. He got five pairs of glasses whose power ranged from 100 to 500 degrees because he wasn’t certain about the power of the broken glasses.

He carried the bag with him to school. He felt proud of himself. He felt that he was indeed smart. The next step was to find out which class Xie Wanyu was in. However, he couldn’t go to her class directly. It would draw too much attention.

Li Zexuan thought for a mont. When he bumped into Xie Wanyu, it was near the basketball court. That road led to the computer room, and the computer test was about to start. Presumably, the girl went to the computer room to practice. If he waited there at the sa ti, he would definitely find her. Li Zexuan returned to the dormitory. Sun Mingtao had been waiting for him.

“Where were you?” he asked.

Li Zexuan hid the small shopping bag. “Just around. Nowhere. I just wanted so peace.”

Sun Mingtao handed him a cup of yogurt. “I know it didn’t go well today. But if you want to play basketball tomorrow, I can clear the field for you.”

“Alright.” Li Zexuan’s answer was very straightforward.

“Really? You want to co along tomorrow?” Sun Mingtao was shocked.

“Take a bath and go to sleep.” Li Zexuan picked up his pajamas and headed to the bathroom to change.

Sun Mingtao sent a text to Lu Wenqian. “Xuanxuan is coming tomorrow to play basketball. Don’t worry too much about today.”

Lu Wenqian had wanted to spend ti with Li Zexuan, but Sun Mingtao’s plan had gone wrong and Li Zexuan had left in a hurry. She had been very disappointed. But now she was glad. She hadn’t expected Sun Mingtao to be able to convince Li Zexuan so fast.

She smiled. She picked up a bag of dried mangoes and distributed it to the whole dormitory.

At Yun Xi Middle School, Li Zekai’s dormitory had four children.

At night, Doudou told him that he was going to transfer schools in October because his father’s company had closed down, and he couldn’t afford to attend this school.

Everyone was sad.

Doudou was their joy. In addition, Doudou was skilled. He had taught them to fold their blankets.

Li Zekai sat there unhappily.

“Doudou, which school are you going to?” Mido asked.

“My mom said it’s right next to our house. We don’t have to pay school fees and there will be no need for accommodation as I will be going from ho. My mum will drop off and pick up after school every day.” Doudou had been very sad in the beginning, but after finding out that he will get to be with his mother every day, he didn’t mind it so much.

Li Zekai turned around. “Doudou, you said you don’t need to pay money? And you can go ho every day?”

“Yes. Mom said it’s nine years of free education now. So, we don’t have to spend money.”

“Nine years of free education?” Li Zekai was really curious now.

Mido also chid in. “It’s true. There are schools like that. My parents are too busy, so they sent here.”

Li Zekai was deep in thought. From then on, he asked his teacher every ti about the date so the 31st would co quicker, and he would get to go back ho. He wanted to talk to his father about such a school where you can go for free, and then you can go ho every day as well.

Li Yanchen was out on a business trip again. Even though it was only for four days, he still wanted to take Lin Wan along. However, Lin Wan had two livestreams to attend, and she also had to tutor Li Zexin in English. So, she refused.

Li Yanchen arrived at the hotel, set down his luggage, and headed out again to the venue of the conference.

Secretary Han accompanied him. He knew that traveling with his boss ant no als on ti. He sighed, wishing his boss could shorten his stay. He had brought along cereal bars, just in case. He was munching on one right now in the front seat of the car.

Li Yanchen sat in the back seat, staring at his laptop the entire ti. “Boss, do you want so cereal bars?” asked Secretary Han.

“No,” said Li Yanchen.

At 10 p.m., Lin Wan turned off her stream. She opened her phone and saw two ssages from Li Yanchen. One inford her that he had already landed. The other told her that he would be in a eting until very late at night and that he would text her goodnight when he was done.

After that, he did not send any more ssages, which ant he was probably busy.

After resting for a while, Lin Wan turned on the TV and aimlessly flicked through the channels.

Li Yanchen hadn’t been away on a business trip for a month after the variety show. Although his work was hectic, they could at least et at night. Lin Wan was not used to being separated from him suddenly.

It was close to midnight and still, there was no ssage from him. Lin Wan turned off the night and tried to sleep. She kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She missed his arms around her. No matter how late it was, he always used to tease her and hug her close. She felt lonely on the huge empty bed.

Just as she was thinking about it, her phone pinged. “I reached the hotel.

Goodnight.”

She replied, “Hubby, I think I should accompany you on your business trips from now on.”

He video-called her. On the other side, Lin Wan was lying on the bed, with her hair ssily draping the pillow. The strap of her nightgown had slipped to the side.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” His eyes did not waver away from her face.

“I missed you,” Lin Wan said softly.

“I miss you too.” He loosened his tie. “I just arrived at the hotel room. I wanted to text you first before I even changed. I didn’t expect you to be awake so late. If I can finish everything, I should be able to be back ho tomorrow night. I will co ho directly. Go to sleep. Don’t stay up too late.”

“Alright,” she said. “But I will be thinking about you all night and won’t be able to sleep..”
