Song Li was speechless. Indeed, The Fifth Lord had taken Young Master Ji's comment about Miss Shu hugging a young man to heart. The word 'young' seemed to have hurt The Fifth Lord's feelings.
"I like mature ones," Shuxin blurted out.
Huo Yanqing's lips curved into an obvious smile, and his voice was tinged with joy. "Mature ones are good. They know how to take care of people."
Song Li was speechless. The Fifth Lord, aren't you celebrating too early? The young lady said that she liked mature ones, but she didn't say that she liked you.
"… Mm." Shuxin responded, her voice tinged with a tinge of disappointment. Who was Fifth Uncle's sweetheart? She must be very happy, right? Fifth Uncle looked like a very attentive and considerate man.
"It's late. Go up and rest." The man's warm palm rubbed the top of her head gently.
Shuxin's body stiffened slightly. She turned around and saw Huo Yanqing sitting beside her. His unique masculine scent enveloped her instantly.
"… Okay." Shuxin turned around to open the door in a fluster, but Huo Yanqing held her wrist. His dry and warm fingers stroked her forearm gently, sending a strong current through her.
"Have you recovered from your injury?" Huo Yanqing's deep and magnetic voice sounded in the car along with his gentle stroking.
Shuxin froze in place. Her heart was beating rapidly, and her face was heating up rapidly. The part of her wrist that was being held by him was burning hot. Soon, the heat spread from her wrist to her entire body. "I … I'm fine …"
Huo Yanqing noticed that Shuxin's voice was trembling slightly. His brows furrowed. "I don't eat people. Why are you so afraid of me?"
Don't you know how strong your aura is?
Shuxin pursed her lips and didn't make a sound. She only moved her wrist gently.
Huo Yanqing let go of Shuxin's grip. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "Let's go up."
Shuxin almost ran away. She didn't even say a polite goodbye or good night.
When Shuxin reached the entrance of the dormitory, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't bought any food for Tong Qiao. She turned around and walked back. When she reached the school gate, she couldn't help but look at the spot where Huo Yanqing had parked his car. The car had already left without a trace, as if everything that had happened just now was an illusion.
However, didn't he say that he was looking for her?
Was this what Fifth Uncle meant when he asked her what kind of man she liked?
…
The day before final exam
There was a class meeting in the afternoon, and there would be a roll call. Almost everyone was there, except for Huo Jibai.
Tomorrow was the exam, and the class was not as noisy as before. The atmosphere was a little tense. Most people were reading, and only a few people were whispering.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaoxiao, who hadn't come to school for a few days, appeared at the classroom door.
She looked a little haggard. Her eyes were sunken, and it was obvious that she didn't get enough sleep.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the door for a few seconds before she walked to her seat. However, she didn't sit down. Instead, she knelt down in front of Yang Yiqian. "Qianqian, I beg you. Please help me. I don't want to drop out. If I drop out now, all my previous efforts will be in vain."
The classroom instantly boiled over.
"Wow, she knelt down!"
"Didn't Yu Xiaoxiao's father force her to drop out? Why is she begging Yang Yiqian? "
"Yang Yiqian's family is rich and powerful. Yu Xiaoxiao's company is about to go bankrupt. If Yang Yiqian asks her father for help, Yu Xiaoxiao's company should be able to revive."
"That's true, but will Yang Yiqian help her?"
