No one is kind to another without a purpose.
Cheng Xiaorui knew that home could not accommodate her, which was why she chose to leave Zhutang Town with him.
However, Cheng Xiaorui mistakenly believed that he was coveting her, and that to leave Zhutang Town and continue her studies in Lancheng, she would have to pay a price.
For example, she mistakenly thought he had taken a liking to her and wanted to support her!
Han Yu felt a myriad of emotions, both heartache and pity for her.
"Put on your clothes first, I'll come in and talk to you in a moment!"
With a bang, he closed the bedroom door. Standing outside the bedroom, he took several deep breaths, then walked out of the apartment to the end of the corridor. He stood by the window, letting the cold wind blow, which finally dissipated the heat in his body and restored his calm.
He stood by the window and smoked a cigarette, adjusting his emotions.
After a while, he turned back to the living room.
In the living room, Cheng Xiaorui sat on the sofa, head bowed, feeling uneasy.
Seeing Han Yu enter, she immediately stood up.
"Sit down."
Han Yu closed the door and sat opposite her. In a tone like that of an elder brother or father, he said, "I am not as despicable and shameless as you think. I just want to help you sincerely."
Cheng Xiaorui’s innocent eyes looked directly at him. She raised her hands and gestured, "Why are you helping me?"
Why?
This question stumped Han Yu.
He thought about it. It seemed that from the first moment he saw her, he felt that such a pure and clean girl was like a pure angel, or a fairy who had fallen to earth, suffering hardships, evoking pity.
"I am a police officer. Helping others is my duty. Before you, I have also sponsored many students," he said, finding a casual reason to brush it off.
Hearing his words, Cheng Xiaorui's eyes were filled with admiration. "Wait for me."
She "said" to Han Yu, then got up and went into the bedroom.
After a long while, she came out of the bedroom and handed a notebook and pen to Han Yu.
"What is this?"
Han Yu took the notebook and glanced at it.
He looked up and saw Cheng Xiaorui gesturing, "Thank you for letting me return to school. How much did you spend in total? Can you keep an account? I will repay you when I can earn money in the future."
Han Yu instinctively wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that if he refused, Cheng Xiaorui would not study properly here.
So he said, "The few exam papers you did at the Women's Federation office have already been given to the high school principal. Your grades are evident, and the principal has allowed you to directly enter the third year of senior high school. I will arrange a tutor for you to catch up. These miscellaneous expenses, plus the rent, amount to fifty thousand yuan."
Although Cheng Xiaorui had dropped out of school after her first year of senior high, she had not completely given up. She had asked classmates for help, gotten textbooks for the second and third years of senior high, and had classmates and teachers teach her.
She originally thought that if she fought for it, she could continue to attend school.
But it wasn't until her stepmother found her a fiancé that she realized she absolutely could not continue her studies and gave up self-study.
Fortunately, her initial academic performance was excellent, and her grades were not too bad.
Han Yu also used his connections and various means to get the principal of Lancheng High School to allow her to enroll as a transfer student.
Otherwise, how could Cheng Xiaorui possibly get into Lancheng High School?
He simply did not want to waste a girl's youthful year, so he allowed her to directly enter the third year of senior high and arranged highly professional private tutors for her.
"Thank you, I will repay you in the future."
After Cheng Xiaorui "said" this, she stood in front of him and bowed to him.
"You're welcome. In the days to come, you will study hard here." He pointed to the surveillance camera in the living room, "I have installed a surveillance camera in your living room, and I will often check if you are studying hard. Do not disappoint me."
He had indeed installed surveillance, but he was worried about Cheng Xiaorui.
Firstly, she was a girl; secondly, she was mute.
Han Yu was worried that she would be bullied.
...
On the other side, Tang Si arrived at the Night Color Apartment. Upon entering, he found no one in the living room.
He opened the master bedroom and saw no one.
He went to the second bedroom and opened the door. It was then that he discovered a girl sitting on the bay window, looking melancholic.
"You... Shu Yao?"
Tang Si suddenly understood. So his second brother's "easy job" was to accompany Shu Yao?
Hearing the sound, Shu Yao turned her head and saw Tang Si. "Why are you here?"
She had met Tang Si and naturally knew he was Qing Muye's friend, but she didn't understand why he would be here.
"Why else? It's because your sister Yao is in a bad mood, and my second brother asked me to come and keep you company."
He walked over and sat on the other side of the bay window, resting his legs on the window frame and his elbows on his knees, propping up his chin. "I heard sister Yao is heartbroken. Do you want to tell brother what happened?"
"I don't want to talk to you."
Shu Yao hugged her knees with a cushion placed on them. She leaned her head on the cushion, looking out the window, in a very bad mood.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... What's the point of being heartbroken and devastated over some scumbag? It's as if he would know, and if he knew, he would pity you."
Tang Si snorted, "He might be in some woman's boudoir right now. If I were you, I'd go shopping, go drag racing, or hang out at karaoke bars and arcades. My mood would be so much better. If that's not enough, spend some money and find a couple of male escorts to serve you comfortably. Instead of being sad over a scumbag. He's not worth it at all, and your sadness just makes him seem more precious."
At first glance, his words didn't seem like much, but upon closer consideration, it had to be said that they were indeed logical.
She was already hurt by the scumbag, so why should she continue to be sad because of him? Wasn't that too unprofitable?
Shu Yao thought for a moment and sighed, "What you're saying makes a lot of sense."
"Of course. I am a master of love, I..."
"So you're also a scumbag.
Tang Si was speechless for a moment. "I meant to..."
"Holy crap, I..." Just kidding, hahaha. Let's go, get cleaned up, and I'll take you out to have some fun. It'll be much better than you being sad here."
Shu Yao's phone had died yesterday, and now no one could contact her.
Since she was bored anyway, she agreed to Tang Si, "Okay."
After a simple wash and getting dressed, she followed Tang Si downstairs.
There was Qing Muye's car in the garage. He got the key in the apartment, chose a car, and took Shu Yao out to have some wild fun.
Country C.
After a journey of more than ten hours, the two of them were somewhat tired upon finally arriving in Country C.
As soon as they got out of the airport, Su Meiyi threw her luggage directly to Meng Jingwei. "Carry this for me, and my bag too."
The miserable Meng Jingwei carried her shoulder bag and pushed a suitcase in each hand, without complaint.
She spoke very little, almost ignoring Su Meiyi.
The two of them got out of the airport, took a taxi, and went directly to the Iston Hotel.
