Xu Niannian was extremely frustrated. She closed her eyes and pretended not to hear the policewoman.
When her parents divorced, they kicked her around like a ball. In the end, they left her in Jin City with a nanny to take care of her. They didn’t want to care about her at all.
So, it didn’t matter who spent the money. She just didn’t want to ask them for it.
Although things hadn’t gone as she expected, at least Brother Long’s threat was resolved.
Drug-related fights were different from ordinary brawls. Brother Long and his gang were still detained, and they wouldn’t be coming out anytime soon.
Soon, she would be in her third year of high school. After the college entrance examination, she could leave for another city, just as she had planned.
However, thinking of Gu Pei made her feel indignant and uncomfortable.
On the way home, Gu Pei and Gu Jin sat in the back seat.
Gu Jin crossed her arms and leaned against the window, closing her eyes to rest.
Gu Pei looked at her, filled with curiosity. But seeing that she was resting, he didn’t dare make a sound.
Gu Jin grew impatient with his staring. She raised her eyelids and said, “Turn aside. Don’t look at me.”
“Who’s looking at you?” Gu Pei hurriedly looked away and muttered softly.
After a while, he glanced at Gu Jin and said awkwardly, “Hey, Gu Jin, thanks for tonight.”
Gu Jin snorted and glanced at him in disdain. “Wipe your face first.”
Gu Pei shifted slightly and saw in the rearview mirror that there was still blood on his face.
At the police station, he had been examined. Despite being surrounded and beaten by so many people, his combat training had helped him avoid vital points, leaving him with only superficial wounds.
Xiao Yize threw a packet of wet tissues into the backseat.
Gu Pei caught it. “Thank you, Principal Xiao.”
Xiao Yize replied, “You’re welcome. You don’t have to call me that outside school. I’m friends with your sister. You can call me—”
Before Xiao Yize could finish, Gu Pei smoothly said, “Okay, Uncle Xiao.”
With a hint of flattery, he added, “You’re the youngest and most handsome vice principal I’ve ever seen.”
Xiao Yize suddenly felt a jolt. His hand holding the steering wheel almost slipped.
He took a deep breath and asked with a smile, “Gu Pei, how old do you think I am?”
Gu Pei blinked in confusion. “Huh?”
Gu Jin suppressed a laugh, her voice carrying a hint of amusement.
Xiao Yize could still see the faint smile on her lips through the rearview mirror. He felt a little helpless.
He gritted his teeth. “I’m only five and a half years older than your sister.”
Gu Pei was shocked.
Damn, he’s so young? Gu Pei had assumed the vice-principal was relatively young, but he hadn’t expected him to be this young. After all, people in such positions were usually in their thirties or forties.
As for Xiao Yize referring to himself as Gu Jin’s friend, Gu Pei didn’t think too much about it. Gu Jin had plenty of friends, so it wasn’t surprising to have a few older ones.
Embarrassment colored Gu Pei’s face as he scratched his head. “I was blind, Uncle Xiao.”
Xiao Yize didn’t want to talk right now. He just wanted to be alone with his thoughts.
Trying to ease the awkwardness, Gu Pei looked at Gu Jin. Seeing her absorbed in her phone, he nudged her gently with his elbow.
Gu Jin was checking news about Gu Yang. It was almost nine o’clock in the evening, and they still weren’t home. The family was already searching for them.
“What’s up?” Gu Jin glanced at him. “Reply to your family first.”
Gu Pei replied with an “oh” and sent a quick message in the family group chat, letting them know they would be home soon.
Appreciating her sincere praise, he said, “You were pretty cool in that fight.”
He knew Gu Jin could handle herself, but he hadn’t expected her to outshine him in combat.
Gu Jin replied, “Do I need you to tell me that?”
Gu Pei blinked, taken aback.
His expression turned sour. “Gu Jin, are you the end of the line for compliments? No wonder no one’s chasing you despite being so good-looking.”
