Chapter 275: Chapter 201: Cousin, Hello~~

Gong Jiu was always immensely amused every time she heard people from the Yun Family gasping and gnashing their teeth in response, so she made another copy for Tang Hanyan...

Indeed, it gave the Tang Family people quite the sour thrill!

As a result, Gong Jiu, Flower Demon, and the Tang Family got along very well, which vaguely led to some collaborations...

But none of this was Sui Yi’s business, she truly had to go to school now.

The past few days of absence were taken care of by Gong Jiu’s help.

"You have no idea how your homeroom teacher sounded... so anxious, almost asked me if you were killed and dumped by the Yun Family~~" Gong Jiu was so amused at the time, it was almost as if she indeed had to deal with Sui Yi’s body~~

But then she added, "Don’t worry, I didn’t reveal my identity to that person, so as not to let others think that I’m keeping you~~"

Flower Demon sneered from the side, "Yeah, she didn’t say she’s keeping you, just that she’s living at your place~~ Hahaha~~"

Not being kept, but rather being the keeper~~

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi’s expression became a bit puzzled as she looked at Flower Demon... "Keeping? What do you mean... It’s just some meals, nothing more."

Quickly, quite a few people turned to look at Flower Demon and Gong Jiu with somewhat reproachful eyes—Your thoughts are too dirty!

Gong Jiu: "Exactly, exactly, it’s just some meals~~"

Flower Demon: "...."

This must be the highest level of scheming—pretending to be innocent!

Rarely, there are truly "naive" people who play along~~ Flower Demon snorted coldly with a laugh and grabbed her bag to leave.

She swiftly called her subordinate on the phone and began to babble about something.

Before going to school, Sui Yi went to the hospital, talked to Jiang Yunxiu about a few things, then left again. Jiang Yunxiu didn’t know what had happened to Sui Yi these past few days, only wondering why she hadn’t come for a good while. However, since Sui Yi was usually very filial, her absence must have been due to some matter. Since she didn’t mention it, Jiang Yunxiu didn’t inquire further.

After their conversation, they also arranged to have a meal together when they were free...

After leaving the hospital, Sui Yi planned to detour and take the bus to Yunfeng High School, but as soon as she boarded the bus, she lifted her eyes to see several familiar faces.

"Hey, cousin!" A dark-skinned, well-built but slightly short youth grinned and waved at her excitedly, with Ye Chunan sitting beside him. At the first sight of Sui Yi, Ye Chunan was slightly surprised, quickly slapped the youth’s hand, and glared at him, "What cousin! Is she your cousin!" Then, turning awkwardly to Sui Yi, he asked, "Are you taking the bus too? Where to?"

"Yunfeng," Sui Yi replied briefly, as she took out two coins from her pocket to put into the fare box, only to see Chu Xiuling suddenly leap forward and swiftly stuff two coins in, "You sit next to me!"

It seemed there were a lot of people on the bus today, mostly students, so there were no seats left, but it was just filled up, with no extra people standing.

"Thank you, no need."

Sui Yi glanced briefly and made her way towards the hanging handles, leaving Ye Chunan stiff-faced and slightly embarrassed; he gritted his teeth and sat back down...

Thus, in the entire bus, only Sui Yi stood.

The bus moved on, with the morning light leaking through the windows, carrying a nascent freshness after the chaos of night merging with day—weak from dew yet entwined with the willow, yet all that freshness and tenderness, upon meeting her eyes, her face, her hair, inevitably drifted away, lost in a languid change of heart.

The soft glow flowed in her eyes, danced on her eyelashes, and curled around her hair.

Inside the bus, it was very quiet.

She was naturally beautiful enough to shine out among ten thousand female students, let alone dressed with such an outstanding demeanor, it naturally drew many people’s attention as soon as she got on, and that address of "cousin" had many subconsciously replacing her identity with it...

This cousin... is very NICE!

Silence is meant to be broken.

"Hey, cousin, I’m Nanzi’s buddy. You can call me Heizi. You’re going to Yunfeng too, huh! What a coincidence~~~ Come on, take a seat~~ Let that kid Nanzi stand!"

Heizi clamored aggressively, as if he wanted to move the seat right under Sui Yi!

"Cut it out, Heizi, she’s ignoring you, why the fuss!"

"Ah Chu, is this your cousin~~ It doesn’t seem like it~~ She’s not paying any attention to you!"

"Isn’t it the one we saw in the clothing store last time! Wah~~ It’s fate~~ Hey, cousin, what are you going to Yunfeng for~~"

The few girls behind and two others wearing the same uniform seemed to be students from the same school, with the Jiangnan Seventh High School emblem on their uniforms.

Provincial City has many high schools, mostly represented by numbers, simple and clear, but those ranking within the top ten were generally considered above average high schools in Provincial City; any one pulled out could crush the key high schools in Nanxun.

This is the difference between a town and the provincial capital, spanning several grades and dividing many different worlds.

Heizi’s slightly Jianghu-esque rogue vibe, the girls’ cynical and frivolous attitudes, and Ye Chunan’s concealed other side...

Sui Yi did not turn her head but merely looked outside the window.

Seeing that Sui Yi did not respond, the girls became annoyed and were about to lash out...

The next stop arrived, and someone boarded the bus. He was very tall, probably about one meter eighty, wearing dark green military casual pants, mountaineering boots, and despite it being November, he was only wearing a thin black knitted sweater with a V-neck, exposing his sun-kissed skin and collarbone. He seemed half-asleep as he slowly got on, casually raising his arm to catch the overhead handle, his narrow phoenix eyes half-closed in a languid expression, his long, capable hands digging into his pocket, as if searching for coins...

Though the motion of fishing for money wasn’t particularly imposing, his face and his tall stature were enough to captivate most females instantaneously while simultaneously trampling the nearly ten male students on the bus, who were mostly bent out of shape by books, aggravated by acne, and with sallow complexions and corroded temperaments. The appearance of this new arrival instantly made the likes of Heizi feel as though a king of the jungle had just invaded their territory.

The most serious issue was that they found themselves to be not other majestic lions but mere jackals~~.

Sui Yi had her back to the car door as she looked out the window, unaware of who just boarded behind her.

But it didn’t take long for her to find out because someone tapped on her shoulder with a finger.

Turning her face, she saw the other person.

A hand reached out in front of her with an air of entitlement, and he said, "Sui Yi, lend me two bucks."

Calling out her name proved that he knew Sui Yi, and such a relaxed and natural tone further substantiated that fact.

Ye Chunan stared intently at Sui Yi, but saw Sui Yi only glanced at the person before dropping two coins from her pocket into his open palm and then turning away.

The person gave a faint smile, tossed the coins into the fare box, stretched out his arm again, took a step forward, and stood next to Sui Yi, grabbing onto a strap beside her.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Sui Yi’s phone rang, and she answered it—hearing from Lin Yun. Lin Yun was naturally worried about her sudden disappearance, but due to Gong Jiu’s overwhelming presence, she had no choice but to pretend to be ignorant for a few days. Now that she knew Sui Yi had reappeared, she of course had to make a comforting call. She also informed her that the company’s preparations were underway and that Li Jingyang’s side was ready to deliver goods to the Provincial City at any time, and the shop had been chosen as well.

Of course, the operation was so vast that funding was her biggest concern, so she capped off the call by saying that they would be good to go once the capital was in place.

If you started counting, five million would definitely not be enough.

"Yeah, I got it... I’ll finish it in a couple of days; you’ve worked hard,"..

Sui Yi hung up Lin Yun’s call, and then there was Elder Tang, then Su Ziyi, and so on...

Quite a number of calls came in one after another...

After taking all the calls, Sui Yi checked the log and saw a hundred missed calls in front of her~~

"Really busy~~" When Sui Yi felt somewhat helpless, the person next to her expressed an opinion on her behalf.

Busy, she did indeed seem quite busy.

Sui Yi turned her face and looked at the person; her memory was freakishly good—she certainly remembered this person.

Yet she wondered why he was talking to her.

"Much obliged."

"I wasn’t complimenting you."

"It was just a courtesy."

The lukewarm exchange between the two attracted the sidelong glances of many on the bus; Heizi felt his best buddy’s frown could squash ten flies dead.

And those few female students were clearly very discontented as they were whispering something among themselves in the back seats...

Until Chu Xiuling suddenly stood up!

He inserted himself directly between Sui Yi and the young man, no longer grabbing the handle, but holding onto a pole...

The intention was clear.

The crowd sensed the chilling cold emanating from their younger cousin.

Sui Yi: "...."

——————

"Yunfeng High School has arrived; passengers for this stop, please alight~~"

With the announcement, the rear door of the bus opened, and Sui Yi stepped off, only to realize that nearly half of the people on the bus were alighting at Yunfeng, and they were all students. Ahead, the gate of Yunfeng High School was bustling with people coming and going.

Sui Yi wondered why it felt as if the world had changed after sleeping for a few days.

But there were people blocking her path.

It was those same girls from earlier.

"Cousin, right? I haven’t greeted you after our last meeting~~" A girl said with a chirpy smile.

However, there was an undertone of aggression in her words.

If Gong Jiu were here, he would definitely have understood her words as—greeting your entire family!

But Sui Yi, ever so naive, didn’t catch the fashionable phrase, simply arching an eyebrow as she listened to another girl speaking with an odd, sardonic laughter, "Cousin seems quite wealthy, huh~~ You were quite adept with your credit card when buying clothes last time... I wonder what kind of job you have now? I also want to start working after graduation, but my mom says girls need to study more, get into a good university—that’s what’s useful. Everything else is not the right path once you enter society,"

The first girl had a somewhat sweet appearance; the latter was thin and sharp-tongued, her eyes filled with mockery. There was another girl... who seemed to stand out more than the first two for being somewhat pretty.

She seemed like she had something to say, although Sui Yi felt it was unlikely to be anything pleasant~~(To be continued.
