Following Shen Zhao's consistently excellent performance after entering school, in addition to Xu Ke, there were actually many classmates who would ask Shen Zhao questions from time to time. However, after the online incident, those people began to avoid Shen Zhao as if they were afraid of being infected with some terrible bad habits. The campus life, which had originally had some improvement, came to an abrupt end and returned to a stagnant state without any ripples. For Shen Zhao, it was a peaceful time. As long as it did not affect her further studies, she would not mind anything.
One afternoon after chatting with the director, a perfect insulation zone seemed to be formed around Shen Zhao. The students would not come within two meters of her. However, there were exceptions. Lu Siming, who was sitting in the back row, was different. His eyes had not moved since Shen Zhao returned to the classroom, and his burning gaze had been fixed on Shen Zhao.
When the school bell rang and other students left the classroom, Lu Siming couldn't help but walk towards her seat.
Shen Zhao was not an insensitive person. She had already noticed that something was wrong with Lu Siming, and was actually waiting for him in her seat. She turned around and looked at the boy who was walking towards her, looking up at him.
Those eyes were very beautiful, as bright as the stars in the night sky. Lu Siming would never believe that a girl with such eyes would be kept as rumored.
He stood in front of her and asked in a condescending manner, "Shen Zhao, tell me honestly, are those things circulating on the Internet true?"
Shen Zhao looked up at the sunny boy who was so close to her. He was green and immature, with a view on black and white. He always looked forward and had a bright future. She suddenly felt pity for him. She wondered if her previous decision was correct. Should she let him keep such innocence and beauty, or drag him into the quagmire that he didn't need to touch too soon?
She stared at the boy calmly, then asked, "What do you think? Do you hope it is or not?"
Shen Zhao's answer was ambiguous. Lu Siming frowned even more after hearing it. He said anxiously, "If you say no, I will believe you! There is no one else here, so answer me!"
Shen Zhao raised her eyebrows, feeling that Lu Siming was ridiculously naive, a fool who believed it based on just one sentence... Suddenly, she felt a slight pain in her temple, like a needle prick. For just a moment, as if it was an illusion, she stared at Lu Siming blankly, as if she could see another person through him, but there was only a ball of white mist, nothing else.
After calming down, Shen Zhao found that he couldn't resist Lu Siming's sincerity, so he turned around and replied calmly, "No, that's enough."
After hearing this, Lu Siming actually laughed happily, as if the previous decisive rejection did not leave any mark on his heart.
Shen Zhao's eyes flashed slightly, he opened the test paper he had borrowed from the library early in the morning, picked up the pen and started writing.
There was always a person standing in the shadow at the corner outside the classroom, watching the entire interaction between the two people. He watched for a long time before quietly leaving.
But Lu Siming didn't seem to have any intention of going back. He just sat quietly in the last row and watched Shen Zhao do his exercises silently, occasionally opening the textbook and looking at it absent-mindedly.
The two of them stayed quietly in the classroom, neither disturbing the other.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Shen Zhao began to pack up, picked up a stack of test papers and prepared to leave. Lu Siming got up from his seat, put down his schoolbag and followed her, but he didn't get close to her, just one meter away, following her closely.
Shen Zhao was really annoyed. When they almost reached the entrance of the library, he turned around. Her expression was cold, but her eyes were fixed on him with a courage that did not belong to a 17-year-old girl. "Lu Siming, how long are you going to follow me? You don't have to attend this evening self-study anyway, why are you doing this?"
Lu Siming showed an ugly smile, no longer sunny, but surprisingly stubborn, "You don't have to be like this, it's my business to follow you, if you are really fine, I won't bother you."
Seeing that he was stubborn, Shen Zhao stopped trying to persuade him and said, "This period is critical. You shouldn't waste your time on me. You should fight for your own future. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
After saying that, she took the test paper and opened the door of the library. When the librarian inside saw Shen Zhao, he naturally took the test paper from her, as if they had a tacit understanding. Then he was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Siming following behind her. The administrator naturally knew the rumors on the Internet, but after so many days of contact with Shen Zhao, he might be the one who least thought that she was a protected person. What he couldn't expect was that Shen Zhao was so familiar with Lu Siming?
Shen Zhao naturally noticed the administrator's puzzled look and said calmly, "Today's test is already done. If there are new test papers, I'll come back tomorrow to get them."
Being interrupted by Shen Zhao, the administrator retracted his inquiring gaze and then fell on Shen Zhao again, "Okay."
Shen Zhao didn't care what the administrator guessed. Anyway, he had a lot of things to do now, and one more thing wouldn't be a big deal. Seeing that the administrator had already registered, Shen Zhao turned around and walked away, taking big steps, as if he was eager to get rid of Lu Siming.
But Lu Siming was also tall, so there was no way he could be easily thrown off. This time he did not follow her, but walked quickly next to her. "You are amazing. How come I didn't notice it before? You have only been back to school for a few days, and you have already finished those mock exams?"
Because Shen Zhao would stay behind for evening self-study every day, many people thought that she was making up for her lack of talent with hard work, but only those who were familiar with her knew how terrible this person was. Just the one skill she showed to Xu Ke after returning to school made Xu Ke's ranking in the class soar, not to mention the librarian who took out the papers for her every day.
Shen Zhao didn't want to pay attention to him and let him ask and answer his own questions. Since he had no objection, she didn't bother to waste words.
The two of them walked all the way from the library to the playground and then through the corridor of the teaching building towards the school gate. Although Shen Zhao's face was cold all the way, against the backdrop of the night, although Lu Siming talked to himself, in the eyes of outsiders, they were talking and laughing, like a perfect couple. The girl had bold facial features but a cold temperament, while the boy was sunny, handsome and talkative.
That's what Mu Yanchen saw.
Situ Rui only felt that the temperature in the car seemed to have dropped a lot. Then he looked at the pair of young students who seemed to have come out hand in hand. After a closer look, he found that one of them was Shen Zhao. He quietly turned his head to look at the man sitting in the back seat. The man's face was hidden in the shadow, and his knuckles exposed under the light were white from the exertion. For no reason, Situ Rui felt that his eyes were dark and unclear, and he stared at the boy gloomily.
He remembered that such a situation had only happened to Sheng Baiyi. At that time, Sheng Baiyi was still in college, and there was a man named Xiao Yi by her side. They often walked slowly on the campus, talking and laughing. Every time Mu Yanchen saw them from afar, his temperament would turn cold. He would stare at the other person, but did not stop him. He would just vent his anger on himself. Sheng Baiyi was completely unaware of this.
Situ Rui swallowed and asked tentatively: "How about I go pick up Shen Zhao? It's getting late now. It's time to go home."
The man in the back row still didn't say anything. Situ Rui could only make a decision secretly. He also hoped that Shen Zhao would not have any other interaction with that boy, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Shen Zhao ignored Lu Siming from beginning to end. When she looked up outside the school gate, she saw Situ Rui leaning against a low-key car, as if waiting for her. After a moment of surprise, as if she thought of something, she looked out the back window of the car, only to see a dark mass. She couldn't even see a reflection inside clearly, let alone a specific person inside.
She walked straight towards Situ Rui with very fast steps, and left Lu Siming behind in a few steps. But when Lu Siming was about to catch up, he looked up and saw a man in a suit and tie opening the back door of the car. Shen Zhao said a few words to the man and got into the back seat. The door closed, but at the last moment, Lu Siming seemed to see a pair of gloomy eyes, staring at him coldly, like a poisonous snake, which made him feel cold. When he looked again, he could only see the taillights of the car that had already gone away, flashing a strange red light in the night.
The feeling at that moment seemed like an illusion.
This man was different from the one in the photo. Lu Siming stood at the school gate and looked at the direction where the car was going away for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. His heart grew colder and colder.
After getting into the car, Shen Zhao tried her best to sit on the edge of the seat, with her whole body pressed against the door. She felt that if the door was not locked, she would definitely fall out. She didn't know why she had to do this, as Mu Yanchen was sitting next to her, but her desire to survive told her that she had to do this!
Situ Rui and Shen Zhao didn't dare to say anything. The low pressure in the car lasted for a long time before Mu Yanchen asked quietly, "Why are you sitting so far away?"
He was in better spirits today. Although he looked extremely thin, when he glanced at Shen Zhao, the courage that had been formed over the years came naturally. At this moment, he had no intention of retracting his gaze, because when he saw a sunny and handsome boy standing next to Shen Zhao, the dark thoughts that arose from the bottom of his heart gradually enveloped him, just like when he saw Sheng Baiyi and Xiao Yi walking side by side that year. He wanted to lock her to his side as much as he wanted, never to leave, but he couldn't, even though he wanted to.
Anyone sitting next to him could feel the invisible pressure, and this was the case with Shen Zhao at this moment.
Shen Zhao stammered, "I'm afraid... I'll disturb you."
She carefully watched his expression, afraid of angering him.
If Mu Yanchen was able to move freely at this moment, he would definitely pull the girl hiding in the corner over and pry open her head to see what was inside.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Yanchen sighed, his gloomy eyes gradually filled with soft light, his tone became much gentler, and the invisible pressure was also withdrawn. At this moment, he was just a poor man who was terminally ill. He said, "Sit down and eat. Have you eaten?"
Even Situ Rui, who was driving, was secretly surprised and raised his eyebrows.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, Shen Zhao slowly moved over, sat down properly, and leaned over to look at Mu Yanchen seriously, "Didn't you eat? How can you not eat dinner if you are a patient!"
It was as if the previous fear was all an illusion. When Shen Zhaoyi came into contact with the area she was good at, she lost her restraint and directly reached out her hand to put on Mu Yanchen's wrist and began to take her pulse.
Mu Yanchen's eyes were filled with smiles. "I ate a little, but I'm still hungry now. Can you accompany me to eat some more?"
Shen Zhao looked at him suspiciously. The patient wanted to eat, so she certainly had no reason to refuse. "Your pulse is relatively stable. Eat something light."
Situ Rui knew where to take them without Mu Yanchen telling him. Situ Rui parked the car next to a riverside club. Shen Zhao stood by the road and looked up at this historical legacy. She couldn't help but marvel at it. As Sheng Baiyi, she was well-informed and had indirect contact with all kinds of mansions and wealthy families. She was not impressed by their extravagant spending, but at this moment, even she had to sigh that Mu Yanchen was really rich and powerful.
Shen Zhao had heard a little about this club. Many wealthy people were proud to be able to go in and have a meal. However, it was not enough to just be rich. People who ate here were like a symbol of status, which made the people who entered appear to be of noble status.
It has to be said, Shen Zhao muttered in his heart that the owner of this store understands marketing.
Before Shen Zhao could finish her muttering, Situ Rui pushed Mu Yanchen's wheelchair slowly in and called out to her, "Stop looking, let's go."
As if knowing Shen Zhao's inner doubts, Situ Rui pushed Mu Yanchen and said, "This club only entertains outsiders three times a year, and Mr. Mu is a frequent visitor here."
The meanings are self-evident.
Shen Zhao glanced at Mu Yanchen in horror, only to receive a polite smile from him.
It seems that her previous imagination of Mr. Mu was still at a very superficial stage, Shen Zhao couldn't help but think so.
The lights inside were dim, and the candlelight on the wall flickered. After walking through a long gallery, they pushed open the heavy wooden door. There was only a table inside. The table was not big, only suitable for two people to dine. But it was obvious that this was not the place where they were going to dine, because Situ Rui did not stop. He pushed Mu Yanchen forward. Shen Zhao had to follow behind them, and passed through a dome corridor between the gardens, and came to a single room full of the charm of the times. I don't know what mechanism Situ Rui pressed on the wall, but the wall moved to both sides, revealing an old-fashioned elevator. Shen Zhao followed them in and stopped at the second floor.
After getting out of the elevator on the second floor, Shen Zhao looked back at the wall again and found that there was no trace of it at all, as if the elevator had never appeared.
After Shen Zhao followed Situ Rui through a heavy wooden door, there was an exquisite table with only one chair. It was obvious that before she came, the table could only accommodate one person for dining. At this time, a masked staff member came in from the compartment and quickly changed the table into a table for two.
