Chapter 385

During lunch break, Xu Xinduo walked back side by side with Tong Yan holding a bottle of oolong tea when they noticed Mu Qingyi was standing alone by the corner of the corridor in a daze.

Mu Qingyi came out from his classroom easily, but that was probably because he didn’t want to listen to the not-so-subtle criticisms in the classroom. From time to time, there were also a bunch of people peeking at him from the window in the corridor.

He was seriously involved in the middle of things.

Seeing Mu Qingyi, Xu Xinduo took the initiative and said, “Brother, recently, the teachers have made great priorities to attend to both of our psychological problems.”

Mu Qingyi also looked at her and replied with a wry smile, “Really, they made me feel a bit awkward.

“Come here, let your little sister give you a hug to comfort you.”

Mu Qingyi was startled by what she said, but he still came over and hugged Xu Xinduo gently. It was just a comforting hug between a pair of siblings.

He suddenly felt like it was a good thing to have a younger sister; her hug was rather healing.

It’s good for her to be back.

Tong Yan stood and watched them but after a while, he couldn’t help but said anxiously, “You two have been hugging for 30 seconds, that’s enough. My patience is limited!”

 Tong Yan’s jealousy towards those in contact with Xu Xinduo did not discriminate between race, relationship nor gender— all of that didn’t matter to him.

There was a maths competition at the end of June that started at 2pm on a Sunday.

At this time, the end of the second semester of high school was approaching and the final exam would be held in early July. However, the summer vacation of the second-year students of Jia Hua School was very short as classes would start in August, which was where they would directly enter the life of a senior.

Xu Xinduo planned to live on-campus after her contract expired, which was also at the beginning of the next semester.

The turmoil that erupted in the school gradually faded and only a few people talked about the Mu family. After all, it was just a family matter that concerned a few specific parties. And in the violent incident, Mu Qingyi and Xu Xinduo were only the talk of the school due to their relation to the victims and the attacker in some way.— the protagonist was the love triangle of those three. Hence, they weren’t the subject of gossip for too long.

Soon, there were a few incidents at school. Everyone now preferred to talk about the fights that occurred in school recently. Through investigation, it was caused by some girl from some class. Then, there was the issue where someone in the Advanced Class cheated in the exams. After that student was caught in the act, they were immediately expelled from the Advanced Class and their parents came to school to give the child a good beating.

With these things diverting their attention, both Mu Qingyi and Xu Xinduo relaxed a little.

Shao Qinghe and Mu Qingyi were wearing Jia Hua’s School uniforms as they stood in the back of the team and queued up, looking in the direction of the entrance from time to time.

Xu Xinduo was going to participate in the competition and should be here by now, but she had a job in the morning and said that it could be over at noon. Despite that, she had yet to come over. Now was time to line up to enter but she hadn’t shown herself.

Mu Qingyi also called Xu Xinduo three times, but she didn’t answer any of them.

Shao Qinghe stood aside and looked at Mu Qingyi’s actions and said, “Perhaps Duoduo may not have the time to answer the phone.”

“This match may help guarantee her chances of getting a referral.”

“Sister Duoduo doesn’t seem to be interested in referrals. She wants to go to the same university as Tong Yan.”

“Should I help and provide tuition classes for Tong Yan?”

“Tong Yan’ doesn’t need any tutoring for his sciences, but if you try to make up for his Chinese, it’s still going to be the same.”

“…” Mu Qingyi couldn’t help but sigh.
