Chapter 164
At least Wu Liang didn't throw a tantrum at her here.
"Am I being a bit too unreasonable?"
Yun Xi covered her chin, lost in adorable thought.
Upon reflection, she realized that she hadn't given Wu Liang a kind look ever since she brought him here.
She became even more aggressive after learning that Wu Liang and Su Qian had an unusual relationship.
On the contrary, Wu Liang did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
I just stood quietly to the side and listened to her complain and grumble.
Tsk, doesn't that make her look like a clown?
She's supposed to be an adult, yet she's more willful than a high school student.
But that brat really did hook up with Su Qian.
She was the one who met Su Qian first, Su Qian was her best friend.
Suddenly, it was driven away by a wild boar that appeared out of nowhere.
"No, it's still really annoying."
After thinking for a long time, Yun Xi finally broke down.
She thought she had captured Su Qian's heart, but in the end, that brat Wu Liang managed to steal her home.
Damn it! She's not happy about it!!
"Sister Yun Xi, did you bring Wu Liang here because...?"
Su Qian had changed back into her school uniform at some point, looked up at the second floor.
She felt something was off from the very beginning.
This area is a restricted zone within the academy, and neither teachers nor students are allowed to set foot here at will.
And Sister Yun Xi, as the caretaker of the garden, certainly understands this principle.
That means that Sister Yun Xi didn't bring Wu Liang here because of her own reasons.
It was because of that person's invitation that Sister Yun Xi...
"Yes, it was that old woman Qiao Ranxin who made me bring that brat here."
"Otherwise, how could I have allowed him in? I was afraid his stench would kill all the flowers I grow."
Yun Xi rested her chin on the mop in her hand and muttered in dissatisfaction.
I have no idea what's wrong with that old woman.
Why would I want to see that brat Wu Liang for no reason at all?
"Is that so...?"
Su Qian murmured softly.
Worry and unease flickered in her jewel-like eyes.
Principal Qiao Ranxin has never taken the initiative to meet with any of the students.
Furthermore, they didn't have much interest in this Huihuangxing Academy.
It was as if the other party did not regard her as the principal of this academy.
They didn't care at all about the Huihuangxing Academy and had absolutely no interest in it.
But this seemingly unambitious person unexpectedly arranged to meet a delinquent with a dark past.
"You're worried about that kid? You even said you're just friends!!!"
"I'm angry! You've forgotten about her now that you have another man!!"
Yun Xi grabbed Su Qian's sleeve and started making a scene.
No, no, no! She doesn't want such a lovely Su Qian to leave her side!!
If Su Qian gets snatched away by that brat Wu Liang, who will she be able to hang out with and keep herself entertained?!
"Sister Yun Xi, if you keep playing around like this, I won't give you any more candy."
Su Qian reached out and chopped Yun Xi's head with a knife.
With a soft cry from the other person, she took out candy from her bosom and held it out to Yun Xi.
But his solemn gaze remained fixed on the depths at the end of the staircase.
Wu Liang, you mustn't say the wrong thing when you're facing Principal Qiao Ranxin.
Principal Qiao Ranxin is no ordinary person; she is vastly different from the teachers you usually meet.
"A rather dark floor."
I stepped onto the wooden stairs and went up to the second floor.
What comes into view are a pair of discarded cardboard boxes and some unidentified wooden handicrafts.
Compared to the bright, clean, and tidy first floor.
The layout of the second floor can be described as chaotic and filled with a dull and complicated atmosphere.
"The difference between the first and second levels is a bit too great."
I stepped over the clutter piled up at the bottom of the stairs.
Seeing that the curtains were tightly drawn all around, Wu Liang frowned slightly.
The tightly drawn black curtains completely blocked out the light from the window.
The dimly lit space was damp, and the atmosphere made Wu Liang feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Snap
Just when Wu Liang didn't know which room to go to...
A slight sound came from not far ahead.
Lights suddenly came on inside the house to the right.
A sliver of light shone through the crack in the door.
"Come in, Wu Liang."
A slightly languid yet alluring female voice came from the crack in the door.
After hearing that almost soothing female voice.
Wu Liang's right foot, which had just stepped out, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
He felt like he'd heard that voice somewhere before, but it also seemed a little unfamiliar.
I don't know when I heard it; it seems like something from a very long time ago.
"What, you're afraid to come in? Or do you want me to go and invite you?"
As the female voice rang out again.
Wu Liang shook his head, clearing his mind of the distracting thoughts, and pushed open the door to go inside.
"Disturb..."
I just pushed open the door and stepped into the room.
Wu Liang was stunned by the woman lying on her side on the sofa in front of him.
"The best of the best" was the only word Wu Liang could think of.
The other person was simply lying casually on their side on the sofa.
But Wu Liang couldn't take his eyes off the other person's innate charm no matter what.
Although her silver-gray hair was somewhat dry, it was not messy or disorderly.
The woman's hands, holding the red wine, were small and delicate, and her pink eyes held a carefree air.
After Wu Liang entered the room, the woman casually pulled up the hem of her light blue dress to cover her thighs, which were as white as her breasts.
"Haven't you seen enough yet, kid?"
Qiao Ranxin raised her eyelids and glanced at Wu Liang.
But that one glance was enough to shake Qiao Ranxin to her core for a long time.
They look so alike, it's like they were made from the same mold.
Her previously unfocused pink eyes refocused, and she carefully examined Wu Liang from head to toe.
"Hehe, you can't see him at all in the enrollment photo."
Qiao Ranxin took a sip of red wine from her wine glass.
Crimson liquid slid down her jade-white neck and dripped onto one end of her beautiful bone.
As if recalling events from many years ago, a smile appeared on Qiao Ranxin's alluring face.
"Come and sit down, Wu Xingsheng's son. Let me take a good look at you."
"It's been more than a decade since I last saw you."
Qiao Ranxin reached out and waved to Wu Liang.
More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.
Wu Xingsheng's son is already so grown up.
The last time I saw Wu Xingsheng was probably three or four years ago.
"You know my father?"
Wu Liang couldn't help but ask in return...
Chapter Eight: Qiao Ranxin
"Um?"
Wu Xingsheng slowly opened his eyes.
He rubbed his temples and glanced casually at the slightly dim sky outside the window.
Was he just asleep? Has he not been getting enough rest these past few days?
But why did the image of Qiao Ranxin suddenly flash through his mind?
It must have been three or four years since we last saw each other.
Why did he suddenly remember the other person at this moment?
"Xing Sheng, did I wake you up?"
Mu Xinrou, who was making tea on the side, asked Wu Xingsheng with concern after he woke up.
Xing Sheng has been extremely busy lately, to the point of being almost pathological with his work.
He had just managed to get a little rest when she woke him up again.
"Did I just fall asleep? How long did I sleep?"
Wu Xingsheng stretched vigorously to loosen up his body.
With each movement, cracking and popping sounds emanated from his entire body.
Maintaining the same sitting posture for a long time has made his bones somewhat stiff.
These past few days have been arguably the busiest days of his year.
I've been working late into the night for several days now, and I'm feeling a little dazed.
"You only slept for less than half an hour."
"It's still early. There are still two or three hours before the final meeting starts. You should rest a bit more."
