Chapter 282: Chapter 206: I Don’t Eat Grass

The biggest effect naturally came when the wealthy Boss Wei donated a teaching building.

After Jiang Lang donated a thousand, he still looked worried and kept asking others for news, until his buddy slapped him on the head and said, "Idiot, does that woman even need you to worry about her?"

"What do you mean?"

"She is Sui Yi, even Yun Junyan isn’t afraid of her, let alone a Li Run?"

"...."

Most of the students at Yunfeng had already snapped out of it.

It was that Sui Yi!

...No wonder she looked somewhat familiar just now.

That brief glimpse on the field~~

It wasn’t strange that most students didn’t recognize Sui Yi because she had approached from behind, and after she had swiftly turned the tide against Crown Prince Yun and his companions, she promptly left with Goddess Yhan, leaving a more memorable impression of her back than her face.

Only the students in the front could see a bit clearer; those at the back hadn’t even caught a glimpse of her silhouette, so recognizing her would have been odd.

Jiang Lang was among them, though now, his expression turned strange upon being reminded.

Not afraid of Crown Prince Yun?

What kind of background did she have?

However, Sui Yi didn’t notice these speculations and the commotion because she was currently in the campus pavilion, basking in the sun and making phone call after phone call.

No way around it, she was busy.

------

At noon, standing at the bus stop outside Yunfeng, Sui Yi looked at the bottle in her hand. She hadn’t bought this bottle just to annoy Li Run and the others; it was because she felt something odd about the bottle.

The bottle itself was extremely ordinary, something any professional or amateur could tell was just a mass-produced craft item from a factory, kind of like a prop you’d see in TV dramas.

Particularly because it even had a minute production date of 1990 engraved on its bottom~.

But... that’s what was odd!

"It’s clearly a modern industrial product, yet it possesses a faint magnetic energy; why?"

She had encountered items before that magnetic energy couldn’t probe, mystical items from the ancient tomb; now she had encountered a craft item sold for a dollar each that the energy could probe...

Sui Yi looked back and forth at this bottle, finding it particularly bizarre, though it was also impractical to examine a small bottle in broad daylight, or that would have been truly strange.

She had just put away the bottle when she saw a car slowly stop in front of her.

A very beautiful car model, clearly a luxury car.

The window rolled down to reveal Wei Feng’s face.

"Miss Sui, may I offer you a ride?" he asked in a very gentlemanly tone, his expression bright and mild, his eyes...

Sui Yi didn’t like the look in his eyes, so she gently declined, "No need, thank you."

Wei Feng didn’t insist, only smiled and turned to someone next to him, saying, "Ah Jiang, aren’t you going to say hello?"

Sui Yi saw there was another person sitting in the passenger seat beside him, the window rolled down, revealing his profile.

He too looked over—his face bore a five or six out of ten resemblance to Wei Feng’s, only more handsome. He lacked Wei Feng’s mild depth, instead sporting a more youthful shallowness and unruliness.

It was that teenager from the bus.

No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Wei Feng.

These two must be brothers, or at least relatives.

"It’s you, Classmate Sui...thanks for your help before. Let us give you a ride as a way of returning the favor, how about that?"

Although his words were of gratitude, his tone was somewhat casual, yet not sharp, seemingly sincere.

Sui Yi glanced at him, paused her gaze around him, then reached out as if to pull open the car door.

Instead...

She stretched her slender, fair hand in front of Wei Jiang.

Wei Jiang raised his eyebrows, looking at Sui Yi.

"What do you mean?"

"Just two bucks will do."

"..."

Wei Jiang fell silent, his smart and proud nature hadn’t anticipated such a response from Sui Yi.

After a pause, he sighed, "I don’t have change."

Sui Yi: "I can make change."

Wei Jiang: "...."

Behind, Wei Feng chuckled softly, his laughter rich and mellow, very pleasant, "Brother Ah Cheng, hand over two bucks.."

"Yes," a low and cold voice responded.

The driver next to Wei Jiang fetched two coins, allowing Sui Yi to see his face turn as he reached to the side—tall and cold.

"Here, your two bucks!" Wei Jiang solemnly placed the two coins in Sui Yi’s palm, leaning on the window and chuckling lightly at her, "Sui Yi, you really are unique."

Sui Yi remained noncommittal.

The car soon drove away...

Sui Yi watched the tail of the car, squinting her eyes—the cold driver...

"Interesting," Sui Yi lightly curled her lips, flipping the two coins between her fingers as they caught the sunlight, sparkling silver~~.

"Sui Yi!"

Suddenly, someone patted Sui Yi on the shoulder from behind.

It was Tong Xiangling.

She was carrying her backpack and bouncing over, as a large number of students poured out of the school gate.

"Sui Yi, do you know the school hunk?" Tong Xiangling blurted out as soon as she arrived.

"School hunk?" Sui Yi turned to look at her.

"Um, the one in the car just now, Wei Jiang! The tall one, the most handsome in our class~~ also one of the school hunks. His name is Wei Jiang, he never likes studying, although he does look good, but rumor has it he has many girlfriends... you better not get your hopes up~~"

Tong Xiangling’s words took Sui Yi by surprise.

Then she laughed.

This was already the second person who had told her not to fall in love early.

"I won’t," Sui Yi softly replied.

"Are you sure? He is one of our school’s hunks," Tong Xiangling somewhat disbelieved.

Sui Yi just squinted her eyes, in the sunlight, dismissively.

"I’m not a sheep, I don’t eat grass"

Tong Xiangling: "..."

The sound of bell-like laughter came from very close by, turning their heads, at a half-meter distance from Sui Yi stood, another girl carrying a backpack. Slender and slightly shorter than Sui Yi, with shoulder-length hair blacker than sesame, straight and smooth draped over her shoulders, her face delicate, her eyes clever, currently smiling, her eyes curved like the elegant lily, her gaze bright and stunning.

She hugged a stack of books against her chest, standing brightly.

Seeing Sui Yi and her looking, she slightly embarrassedly bowed her head, clutching her books tight, and said apologetically, "I’m sorry, I just found what you said very interesting, that’s why..."

"No worries," Sui Yi shifted her gaze,

But Tong Xiangling was very excited: "Ah~ are you Qi Yanran?"

"Yes..." Qi Yanran smiled lightly, the bus arrived, and she waved goodbye, very politely, though not overly familiar.

Still a bit distant.

—If others deliberately got close, that is.

Sui Yi didn’t know who Qi Yanran was, but Tong Xiangling was impatiently discussing her excellent academic performance, "She’s been top five in our grade for the high school section, never dropped out of the top five... Hey, hey, Sui Yi where are you going? Hey, you’re just running off with her like that?"

"Going home"

Sui Yi had already followed behind Qi Yanran, boarding the bus.

Tong Xiangling still wanted to ask where Sui Yi lived, but could only watch as the bus drove away...

Just as the bus left, a few more people gathered around her.

"Ah! Cousin has left!"

"I told you Nanzi, why didn’t you ask our cousin to wait!"

"Did you make our cousin mad? She completely ignored you!"

Heizi regretted not knowing earlier, they hadn’t noticed these things before, just indulging in eating, drinking, and playing, hanging out with people from Seven High, rarely mixing with those from Yunfeng, so they missed out, but now...

They had missed out again.

Ye Chunan stood at the bus stop, listening to the sounds of Dong Liuxuan and others speaking around him... inexplicably irritated!

Is she ignoring me? She hardly ever pays attention to me, to be exact!

——————

On the bus, Sui Yi sat with Qi Yanran, but neither of them spoke, sitting in silence until they reached the stop. Qi Yanran looked at Sui Yi nodding towards her, then got off the bus without a second glance, her eyes then fell on the grand stone sculpture at Jiangdu Scenic Garden.

Jiangdu Scenic Garden... a gathering place for high society.

Legend has it that a bathroom in those high-end duplex apartments could allow ordinary people to buy an 80-square-meter apartment outside the downtown area.

Only one person got off here.

She lived in a hilltop villa on Yujiang Mountain, what could a bathroom there possibly buy?

She withdrew her gaze, smoothed the wrinkles from her whitened shirt cuffs, and turned to look out the window.

The bus engine started up, and it moved off once again.

——————

Life became ordinary later on, school, dismissal, studying. With Tong Xiangling’s help, Sui Yi wasn’t ostracized, but because she was naturally unapproachable and never socialized, she would leave as soon as school ended, avoiding romance novels, TV dramas, gaming, and even discussions of Korean male idols...

She always kept a low profile, sitting quietly in a corner of the classroom.

Familiar with keeping a low profile, rumors about her eventually faded away.

Finally, the old lady could also be discharged from the hospital, but there was an accident on the day she was discharged.

Seeing Ye Jue, Huah Mei, and Ye Zhang again, Ye Xiuling still couldn’t restrain her hatred, while Sui Yi remained calm, responding nonchalantly to any attempt at friendliness,

Not giving them much chance to talk, she handled the paperwork, picked up the old lady, who didn’t show much reaction to her two sons and daughters-in-law, just waved them away. This time Ye Zhang seemed smarter, not making a fuss, just busy with a smile, and Ye Jue did the same, reminiscing about childhood...

Even though the old lady appeared cold, she occasionally showed a slight nostalgia. Ye Xiuling knew they were playing the emotional card, she wanted to stop it, but didn’t know what to say...

Tell them she was actually harmed by her own brother? That would surely upset the old lady to death!

However, Sui Yi seemed unbothered, as if not afraid the old lady would switch sides, Jiang Yunxiu was curious and asked. Sui Yi replied like this.

—While I hold their weaknesses, they wouldn’t dare to harm the old lady. Now letting them take care of her, and keeping her happy, what’s the harm?

As for whether the old lady would go with them...

"Alright, I’m going with Ah Yi, you guys stop following... or else pay up the car fare~~ I have no money~~"

Ye Zhang and Huah Mei were left speechless, damn, can’t I just pay on my own!(The end for now. If you liked this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast a recommendation vote, monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
