After evening self-study ended, Su Miaomiao happily followed Ye Feng, no longer trying to avoid him. She didn't want to walk anymore, but she couldn't ride a bike, and her family didn't dare let her ride one either. They only let her go home alone late at night because they knew Ye Feng was with her.

"Oh, now you don't have to worry about being seen and misunderstood?"

"Oh, what are you saying? I was just walking too slowly, and you didn't even wait for me."

Ye Feng was startled by Su Miaomiao's voice. Good heavens, that soft, cute voice, and it even had...

"Su Miaomiao, stop grabbing it! It's disgusting!"

"Really? When I was playing Variant, everyone was yelling and screaming on voice chat."

"You still hit your child? How many sons have you adopted?"

"I don't play often, I just play a couple of rounds when I'm on break. I'm not good at it, and sometimes I even swear. By the way, can you set up your computer for me to play on? My computer lags a lot when I play games."

"We'll talk about it later, get in the car!"

"You...you...you bought this car?"

"Yeah, hurry up."

"Can you drive? Do you have a driver's license?"

"This isn't a car, it's an electric car. Hurry up, you'll see when you get on."

After getting on the bus, Su Miaomiao started looking around, her little hands never idle, and she would ask a few questions every now and then.

"Wow! This car is really nice, it even has a big screen."

"Yeah, you can even connect your phone to play music. Try connecting via Bluetooth."

"I'll give it a try!"

Although the interior of the car was very simple and could not compare with a real Porsche, it was still quite rare for Su Miaomiao.

Her family also has a car, but the structure inside this one is significantly different from hers, and more importantly, it's electric.

With a light touch on the accelerator, the car slowly began to move.

"Holy crap, a Porsche!"

"Who in our school bought a Porsche?"

"Something's not right. Why is this car so quiet? It's a bit too quiet!"

"Haha, that's a 'senior citizen's car,' I've seen it on the street before!"

The car's sound insulation was decent, and with Su Miaomiao playing music, the two of them didn't hear anything outside.

"I'll take you straight to your building later, how about that, pretty generous of me, right?"

"That's enough, that's great, you crazy guy. Making money really makes a difference. So, can you pick me up tomorrow?"

"Heh, if you wait for me at the entrance of my apartment complex, I can give you a ride to school, but don't even think about me getting up early to pick you up from your house!"

"And this is supposed to be a good brother? A fake brother!"

Although the two residential areas are next to each other, Su Miaomiao's residential area is farther away than his. If he wants to pick Su Miaomiao up from school, he has to get up at least five minutes earlier!

So how could he possibly agree?

"Big sister, I'm so tired every day. If I could sleep for even one more minute, I wouldn't get up early."

"How about this, we'll meet at the entrance of your apartment complex every day. I'll arrive first and wait for you, and you come out and wait for me, okay?"

"Hmm... okay, I'll pick you up from your house on rainy days."

Su Miaomiao really didn't want to walk, and she couldn't ride an electric bike. She really didn't want to miss any opportunity to be lazy!

As for the fear of being misunderstood, I've come to terms with it. Let people misunderstand if they want; it's better than making myself suffer.

Having a car makes all the difference. After passing two traffic lights, we arrived at Su Miaomiao's building in less than five minutes.

"Thank you! I'll treat you to breakfast tomorrow!"

Su Miaomiao skipped and hopped away in the elevator, while Ye Feng turned around and went home.

After opening the door and changing her shoes, Su Miaomiao heard noises from the kitchen. It turned out that her mother was making her a late-night snack.

"You're back a bit early today. Did you rush back?"

"How could that be? I came back in Ye Feng's car. Mom, let me tell you, Ye Feng bought a super-fast electric car, it's so fast, we were home in no time!"

"Ye Feng? That's your deskmate, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, he promised me he'll take me to and from school every day from now on!"

"This...isn't this a bit of a burden on him? By the way, didn't you say his parents divorced and don't care about him? Where did he get the money?"

"He earned the money himself, Mom, let me tell you, he's really amazing, he..."

Just as they were getting excited, Su Miaomiao remembered her promise to Ye Feng that she couldn't tell anyone about it, and she stopped abruptly.

"Tell me, how did he make his money?"

"Well... I'm not really sure either. I'll ask when I have time."

"Didn't you just say..."

"Mom! You go to sleep. I'm going to eat, wash up, and go to bed too. I'm so sleepy."

"Miaomiao's mother wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing the girl's expression, she didn't press her, not wanting to put any pressure on her."

As for whether I would think there was something going on between the two kids, to be honest, I was worried. After all, Ye Feng is quite handsome and fair-skinned.

But after observing them for the past two years, I realized that neither of them had any intention of having that kind of relationship, so I gradually felt relieved.

Besides, they're already in their final year of high school, and they don't want to put pressure on their child because of some doubts. They'll figure things out in the end!

After returning home and washing up, Ye Feng lay down on the bed but didn't use his phone to type. Instead, he opened the logistics system and watched the package getting closer and closer. He had no mood to type at all.

Actually, it's because I typed a lot of words at the internet cafe during the day, and that feeling of tension disappeared, so I became lazy.

I was just about to go to sleep when my phone rang.

"mom?"

"Ye Feng, how have you been lately? Are you getting used to senior year?"

"That's good. What made you think of calling me?"

As for his parents, Ye Feng couldn't convince himself that he didn't hate them, but they weren't completely estranged either, since he still relied on them for living expenses.

In fact, Ye Feng rarely contacted his parents; it was the two of them who contacted him.

"It's been a while since I called you. How's your senior year of high school going? Remember to eat on time, and don't overwork yourself. Don't ruin your health."

"Yes, I know what I'm doing. You should also take care of yourself."

"Yes, yes, and besides, aren't you a senior in high school now? You have to travel back and forth to and from school every day. Why don't you just live on campus? That way you won't have to travel back and forth and you can get more rest."

"No, Mom, my house is only a few minutes away from school. I bought an electric scooter now, so it's even faster."

"You bought an electric car? Did your uncle buy it for you?"

"No, why would I ask my uncle for money? I bought it with the money I earned during the summer vacation. Don't worry, I'm used to it now and can take care of myself."

"Mom is just worried about you. It's dangerous to be on the road so late at night. You're in your final year of high school now, so it's better to be careful."

"No, Mom, what exactly are you trying to say?"

The more Ye Feng talked, the more uneasy he felt. What was going on? He had been like this for several years. Could it be that they were really concerned about him because he was in his senior year of high school?

If you really care about me, why don't you come back and take care of me? What's the point of all this talk about making me go live at school?
