Ch 14: Shocking the entire school’s teachers and students; Wen Xin was pushed backward into the water pool.
Song Zhixian caught up with Wen Li: “I came to school to find you without saying hello, I hope I’m not disturbing you.”
Unlike his sharpness when defending Wen Li just now, his words now carried a smile, and his whole person was gentle and warm.
“The Gaokao is imminent, why did you suddenly transfer to Beijing? I went to Mingcheng to find you a few days ago, and your grandmother didn’t mention this.”
Song Zhixian’s eyes were full of joy. After learning that Wen Li was studying in Beijing, he wanted to find her every day, and today he finally had a flimsy excuse.
Wen Li walked forward without looking sideways, her tone indifferent: “Didn’t you solve the problem? Is there anything else you need from me?”
“You should have other solutions to that problem, right?”
Wen Li glanced at him, a little unhappy with his greed.
Song Zhixian quickly explained: “I’m not here to ask you for other problem-solving methods.” He couldn’t help but feel annoyed at his clumsiness.
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
In Wen Li’s opinion, the two were not very familiar. Song Baiyan helped her get into No.1 Middle School, and today’s problem was considered repayment of his favor.
Moreover, she had helped them with many problems and solved many doubts before. Besides the gifts they brought each time they came, she had never received anything else from them.
If she had known that this grandfather and grandson were so difficult to deal with, she wouldn’t have gone to the Peking University Forum to solve that broken problem, inviting wolves into the house.
“I… can I have dinner with you? I also studied junior and senior high school at No.1 Middle School, and I miss the No.1 Middle School cafeteria quite a bit.”
Without the calmness and flexibility he had when solving problems, he was even a little helpless and clumsy in front of Wen Li.
Wen Li did not respond.
Without saying whether it was okay or not, Song Zhixian shamelessly followed her out of the teaching building and towards the cafeteria.
Along the way, the two constantly attracted attention and discussion.
Song Zhixian ordered the same dishes as Wen Li, sat opposite her, and after taking a bite, reminisced: “The taste hasn’t changed.”
Wen Li didn’t respond.
Song Zhixian, who was being ignored, secretly looked at Wen Li. He couldn’t find anything to talk about for a while. Seeing Wen Li looking at her mobile phone, he could only eat quietly.
Little guy Lu Jingyuan sent a photo on WeChat, of his lunch at the toddler class.
Wen Li only then learned that the two-year-old little guy had started kindergarten.
She casually took a picture of the dishes in front of her and sent it back to him.
The little guy slowly sent a message asking her: 【Is it better now?】
Wen Li ate her meal, typing with one hand: 【It’s better now.】
These days, the little guy would ask almost every day if she was better, and he would also video call her. Although he didn’t speak, a child’s care was very pure.
After a while, Wen Li put down her phone.
Song Zhixian seized the opportunity: “Can your grandmother take care of herself alone in the countryside? If you need to, I can bring her to Beijing to help take care of her.”
“I have a courtyard that has been empty, very suitable for retirement, and it’s quite close to Peking University. You’ve helped me so much, can this be a return gift?”
Wen Li: “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it.”
“The legendary Song Shen? Why is he eating in our school? Who is that girl opposite him? So pretty.”
“Don’t you know? She just transferred from Grade 3, her name is Wen Li, and it’s said that she’s the illegitimate daughter of the Wen Family CEO.”
“Illegitimate your ass, she’s a real heiress. Wen Yan, that one from the Wen Family, is the illegitimate one.”
“So handsome! Speaking of which, the Great God is our senior. I didn’t expect that he has already graduated, and we still have a chance to see him.”
“Isn’t it said that Song Shen is a High and Cold Person? I’ve seen his competition videos online, he’s really cold, but why doesn’t he look like that?”
“Damn, if you have such a beautiful girl sitting opposite you, your face would be smiling like crazy, still cold?”
“The problem in Class 1, did you hear about it? I’m dumbfounded…”
Wen Li ate quickly. Song Zhixian still had food in his mouth, and he put down his chopsticks and followed her.
Wen Li was going back to the classroom, and seeing that she couldn’t stay any longer, Song Zhixian could only leave.
“Wen, I’ll wait for you at Peking University.”
Song Zhixian stood there, unwilling to take his eyes off Wen Li even after she was out of sight, and he didn’t dare to leave, the smile still on his face.
“Zhixian Brother.”
A sudden voice interrupted Song Zhixian’s thoughts. He turned to look at Wen Xin behind him, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.
Song Zhixian, who had no memory of this person, chose to ignore her and walked around her to leave.
His attitude towards people was simply worlds apart.
“Zhixian Brother?” Wen Xin called him again.
“Do you need something, classmate?”
Wen Xin looked at Song Zhixian, whose expression was cold and distant, feeling a wave of grievance and sadness. He seemed to have forgotten her.
“I’m Wen Xin, Zhixian Brother. We’ve met before. I even went to your house to play. Aunt Song liked me very much, and Grandpa Song said I was good at mathematics, and that I would have the opportunity to discuss academics with you in the future.”
“I have something to do.”
Song Zhixian clearly wasn’t interested in what she said.
Seeing him about to leave, Wen Xin, in a hurry, had to bring up Wen Li: “Wen Li is my older sister!”
If it weren’t for Song Zhixian, Wen Xin would never say this in her life. Even saying it insincerely once felt uncomfortable.
But fortunately, this successfully stopped Song Zhixian’s steps.
But this made Wen Xin even sadder.
“Zhixian Brother, how did you get to know Wen Li? And you’re so… towards her? She’s always lived in Mingcheng. You said her mathematics is better than you and Grandpa Song, were you deceived by her? She rarely even goes to school…”
“This classmate!”
Before she could finish speaking, Song Zhixian coldly interrupted her.
Wen Xin was startled.
Song Zhixian’s unfriendly eyes and cold gaze silenced her directly.
“My business with her doesn’t concern you. If I’m not mistaken, it was you who slandered Wen Li for cheating in class just now.”
“I, I was…” Wen Xin’s eyes turned red, as if she had suffered some grievance and bullying.
Song Zhixian felt inexplicably baffled.
“I haven’t heard Wen Li say she has a younger sister. If Wen Li doesn’t like you, you’d better stay away from her.”
These words, which sounded like a warning, made Wen Xin both angry and surprised.
Song Zhixian’s sudden appearance made Wen Li, who was already highly noticed, leap from a topic figure to a prominent figure.
Professor Song and Song Zhixian, two Great Gods, went to the extent of using stamped test papers to ask Wen Li for help in solving problems, which shocked the entire school’s teachers and students.
For the whole afternoon, Wen Xin heard the names Song Zhixian and Wen Li in her ears, and several times she couldn’t control her emotions and was about to cry.
Finally, she waited until school was over, and she followed Wen Li into the restroom.
She excitedly questioned: “Why do you know Zhixian Brother? What tricks did you use to deceive them? The Peking University professor who got you into No.1 Middle School is Grandpa Song, right? How did you hook up with Zhixian Brother?”
Wen Xin, who had suffered continuous stimulation, was trembling all over.
Wen Li stood in front of the washbasin, calmly washing her hands.
She shook the water off her hands, then looked at Wen Xin.
“Want to know? Come closer, I’ll tell you.”
Wen Xin didn’t think, and strode forward aggressively.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got close, she received a heavy slap in the face, causing her to stagger back two steps.
After being stunned for two seconds, Wen Xin reacted and raised her hand to rush towards Wen Li, but Wen Li grabbed her wrist, performed a counter-grapple, and pressed her head into the washbasin by the neck.
The pain stimulated her nerves, Wen Xin’s face burned, and the smell of blood filled her mouth.
Growing up, this was the first time she had been slapped, Wen Xin exploded.
“Wen Li, you dare to hit me! You dare to hit me! Even Dad has never hit me! I’ll kill you! I’ll break your hand!”
She struggled madly, trying to get up, but she couldn’t break free.
Wen Li turned on the faucet and showered Wen Xin, causing her to scream.
Water rushed from the back of her head to her face, flowing into her nasal cavity. Wen Xin was choked and cursed, but soon she couldn’t yell anymore.
More and more water accumulated in the basin. Wen Xin, who was choked, was very uncomfortable. She kept waving her other arm, trying to grab Wen Li, but she couldn’t succeed.
Wen Li looked at her struggle indifferently.
When Wen Xin was about to suffocate, Wen Li lifted her up, threw her on the ground, washed her hands again, and left.
By the time Wen Xin caught her breath, Wen Li was long gone.
