The news quickly reached Shang Shujue's ears. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Song Yanqing supported him from behind, afraid that he would laugh himself silly.
"As expected of the kid I trained, so decisive and efficient, hahaha... Well done, well done! Let's see if Lin Xinhe and this idiot male lead dare to spout nonsense again next time? He's hilarious, does he think he's some kind of domineering CEO? Hahaha..."
Shang Shujue laughed so hard that Shen Liyan felt a little embarrassed, but he also felt that he was really quite amazing. The illusory little tail was wagging around. If he really had a tail, it would probably wag very happily.
"This person is strange, Uncle. I heard his family is not ordinary. Will he cause you trouble?"
After feeling smug for a while, Shen Liyan suddenly realized this possibility and felt a little annoyed that he had impulsively knocked the man unconscious in public. He should have put him in a sack and beaten him up when no one was around, knocking him out directly.
Shen Liyan: Raising his sharp claws and revealing an evil smile... Lin Xinhe and you are finished!
"Don't worry, he's the one who should be worried, not us. We are your strongest support. As long as you don't do anything illegal or disorderly, we can keep you safe."
After laughing enough, Shang Shujue stood up from Song Yanqing's arms, raised her hand and gently patted Shen Liyan's head, her voice filled with tenderness as she spoke.
Shen Liyan looked into his eyes, paused for a moment, then her eyebrows curved into a wide smile, "Okay, I'll remember, thank you, Uncle~"
Lu Xingzhi remained silent beside him. Song Yanqing patted his shoulder, as if he knew what Lu Xingzhi was thinking, and silently encouraged him to bravely venture out into the world.
Lu Xingzhi looked at Song Yanqing and understood what he meant from his eyes. His ears turned slightly red, but he still pursed his lips and nodded heavily. He would also work hard to grow up and become another support for Yanyan!
After that day, Lin Xinhe took a week of sick leave. Whether he felt embarrassed by being publicly shamed or because his family had given him some instructions, Shen Liyan didn't see him again during that week, and he seemed to have relaxed completely.
He didn't know why, but whenever he saw Lin Xinhe, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had stepped in poop—soft, sticky, and disgusting, to the point of wanting to vomit.
Regarding Shen Liyan's vandalism of Lin Xinhe's property, Luo Mi personally intervened and gave the Lin Family something insignificant, thus settling the score. As for the marriage alliance, let it go.
The Lin Family was naturally unhappy because they failed to secure a cooperation with Qing Shu Yi Yan, or even establish a marriage alliance with her. They harbored resentment towards Qing Shu Yi Yan's suddenly emerging company and began to secretly cause trouble.
Of course, those dirty tricks won't happen in front of Shen Liyan. Shang Shujue and the other two will handle any problems that arise with swift and decisive action. As for minor issues, Shen Liyan is capable of resolving them, and they won't interfere.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, Lin Xinhe reappeared at school. He seemed much more composed than before and no longer made those childish remarks from time to time.
But he would still occasionally try to make his presence known to Shen Liyan. He wouldn't get close, but would just stand or sit nearby, staring at Shen Liyan without looking away. It was quite intimidating, but Shen Liyan would simply ignore him and never give him the slightest bit of a friendly look.
" Yanyan, that Lin Xinhe has been staking out our neighborhood for weeks. What does he mean by that? He keeps looking at you like that, as if you owe him money from a past life."
Yu Jiaxin, a little scared, moved closer to Shen Liyan and spoke to him. Their actions seemed to be discussing the topic, but in reality, they were secretly expressing their thoughts and conveying their fear.
"If you don't understand, ignore him. Just do your own thing. As long as you don't care, it'll be fine."
Shen Liyan had no good feelings towards Lin Xinhe. He didn't know why, but he could never feel any affection for him. In fact, he felt disgust from the depths of his soul.
Seeing that Shen Liyan didn't react to Lin Xinhe's expression, Yu Jiaxin didn't know what to say. He nodded slightly, turned around and continued writing his questions and memorizing vocabulary. But the feeling of being pricked by needles still made him tremble slightly.
No, why do I feel like Lin Xinhe's eyes are like he wants to tear me to pieces and throw me into the nearby sea to feed the sharks? It's terrifying!
Shen Liyan was completely unaware of this. He focused on his studies and was not affected at all. He wanted to study hard and try to get into Lu Xingzhi's university after graduating from the prestigious academy.
Although Lu Xingzhi might have already graduated by then, what does it matter? He will definitely be able to catch up with him.
Thinking about all this, Shen Liyan studied even harder. Lin Xinhe, who had been observing Shen Liyan, watched him for a long time before finally turning around and returning to his own classroom.
" Xinhe, what have you been up to lately? You've been going to visit the younger students all the time, and you've been late several times. If you're late again, the homeroom teacher will deduct all your participation points."
After Lin Xinhe sat down, his deskmate Su Yu couldn't help but lean over and put his arm around his shoulder, asking him with a puzzled and serious expression.
Although the elite academy doesn't have as many rules, the daily grades are still very important, since they affect how students are placed in classes in the high school section.
If you lose your participation points and your grades are terrible, then you'll be assigned to a low-achieving class. Don't expect to learn anything of substance, and certainly don't expect to meet anyone from a well-off family.
In that case, the noble families would not achieve their goal of sending their children in, and the children would definitely be given a good scolding by their elders.
"It's nothing, I just took a walk around there. I'll study on time afterwards, so don't worry about it."
Lin Xinhe probably remembered this rule in the school. After saying that, he opened his textbook, which was as clean as a new book, wrote his name on it, took out the practice questions, flipped to a page, and started doing the questions.
"Huh? We haven't even gotten to this point yet! How come you can do it already? Did you translate it wrong?"
Su Yu had just nodded when he saw Lin Xinhe flipping to a section he hadn't studied before and doing a problem. Su Yu reminded him with some confusion. Lin Xinhe paused, composed himself, and flipped back to the previous section.
Oh, I almost forgot, he's a student now, not the powerful CEO Lin anymore...
Lin Xinhe... was reborn...
