The sweet and gentle boy is actually crazy and bad.

That evening, when Wen Yihan came home from school, Jiang Ling immediately noticed a band-aid on his chin.

Jiang Ling was extremely worried.

Holding Wen Yihan's face in her hands, she asked anxiously, "What happened to your chin? Did you get into a fight at school again? Let me see how badly it's injured..."

Wen Yihan was pampered and spoiled by Jiang Ling as he grew up, which led to him becoming irritable and short-tempered after entering adolescence. He would resort to violence if he had any minor conflicts with classmates or if things didn't go his way.

His illustrious family background meant he almost never came out on the losing end, and even when he was injured in a fight, Jiang Ling would always step in to avenge him.

"Tell Mom who hit him, and I'll go to the school tomorrow to settle the score!"

Jiang Ling removed the bandage to check the wound, but Wen Yihan pushed her away, saying, "It's nothing, I just accidentally cut myself."

Wen Yihan was unwilling to say anything more and went back to his room with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder.

Jiang Ling called him, but he ignored her, so she had no choice but to bring him a late-night snack to his room.

Upon entering the room, one could see Wen Yihan sitting at his desk reading a book.

Jiang Ling was shocked.

Her precious son used to be impatient with going to school, but now he actually studies on his own in the middle of the night?

Jiang Ling put down her late-night snack and sat down at the table. "Xiao Han, are you reading?"

"Hmm," Wen Yihan said, resting his chin on one hand while fiddling with a pen in the other, looking down at his book with a frustrated expression. "I have an exam tomorrow."

Jiang Ling felt relieved but also puzzled, and told him to go to bed early.

After leaving her son's place, she went to Wen Yunqing's room: "Yunqing, tell Mom, did your brother get into a fight at school?"

Wen Yunqing was wearing a face mask and lying on the soft sofa watching a tablet.

The fight between Wen Yihan and Shao Yu caused quite a stir, and many students discussed it.

Wen Yunqing thought for a moment, her eyes fixed on the iPad, and replied casually, "I think so. Oh right, I heard from my classmates that it's because of Wen Yisheng from Class 1."

"What?!"

Jiang Ling was furious.

No wonder, no wonder her precious son has been acting so strangely lately!

In the past, whenever her son had any problems or was upset outside, the first person he would turn to was his mother!

But now, he got into a fight at school, got bruised on the face, and won't confide in his mother anymore!

"Yunqing, from now on, you'll keep an eye on your brother at school. If anything happens between him and Wen Yisheng, you must tell Mom!"

Wen Yunqing nodded absentmindedly: "I understand."

But inwardly, he sneered.

Ha, she only has eyes for that bastard brother. Just because she's a daughter, Jiang Ling will only ever care about Wen Yihan!

"But Mom, my brother will only get more and more obsessed with Wen Yisheng," Wen Yunqing said with some worry. "He's just curious because he's never been rejected by a girl before. If he could get Wen Yisheng, he'd definitely get bored after a couple of days."

Ha, go ahead and snatch it, play with the person Wen Zhi has his eye on.

Then she was bitten to death by that madman Wen Zhi. She distanced herself from him, watched them fight in the Wen family, and reaped the benefits.

Jiang Ling sighed, "That's what I thought too, but..." Jiang Ling didn't finish her sentence.

It's not that they're afraid of the little monster in their house.

Why did both brothers have to fall for Wen Yisheng? She really is a vixen, just like her mother.

Jiang Ling gave her daughter a few more instructions before leaving.

Wen Yihan was her only support in this family.

No matter what, Wen Congnan would leave a share of the Wen family's assets to his second son.

Jiang Ling was furious. Now Wen Yihan was actually distancing himself from her because of Wen Yisheng!

She absolutely cannot let that little bitch steal her precious son.

Wen Zhi brought her bedtime milk again.

He's been coming over frequently in the evenings for the past month, about four times a week.

He would watch Wen Yisheng finish her milk before taking away the cup and leaving.

Wen Zhi stood casually, leaning against her desk, flipping through her exercise book in a nonchalant manner: "Ah Sheng's science scores don't look too good. You'll have to be more serious in the future."

Wen Yisheng was drinking milk from her cup, licking the milk stains from the corner of her lips. Upon hearing this, she casually replied, "Of course I know I should be serious."

"However, you can also choose humanities after your sophomore year."

Wen Zhiwei frowned almost imperceptibly. "No."

"Huh? Why?" Wen Yisheng looked up at him.

Wen Zhi said casually and matter-of-factly, "Because I chose science."

Wen Yisheng was a beat slow to react; she hadn't even had time to wipe the milk stains from her lips. "...So?"

Does he mean that if he chooses science, she can't choose humanities and has to follow him and study science and engineering?

This is... utterly absurd.

Wen Zhi's eyelashes fluttered up and down, casting a shadow over his eyes.

He smiled slightly, his eyes filled with an innocent gentleness, and pulled out a tissue to wipe the milk stains from her lips.

Why are you looking at me like that? You've misunderstood me.

"Since I chose science, if you choose science too, I can tutor you. If you choose humanities, we'll be separated in our second year, and I won't be able to tutor you anymore, which worries me."

Wen Yisheng lowered her eyes and nodded, then frowned and remained silent.

The exams ended on Friday.

It was still September 30th. After finishing the exam in the evening, the seven-day National Day holiday began.

As soon as the school bell rang, the students handed in their papers, and the quiet school building suddenly became noisy, like magpies chattering as they left their cages.

The teacher had just finished collecting the papers and left the classroom when Lu Zhizhou walked in right behind.

"Let's go, Brother Zhi, the place's all booked. We're not letting you leave until midnight tonight!"

Wen Zhi lowered his eyes and slowly packed up his textbooks.

They also did not express their opinion.

Lu Zhizhou's eyes darted around, and he leaned on Wen Yisheng's desk, grinning, "Little Sheng Sheng, today is my birthday, how about we go out and celebrate together?"

Wen Yisheng glanced at Wen Zhi out of the corner of her eye.

She said, "Happy birthday, but I'm not going."

The key issue is that she didn't prepare a birthday present, so what was she going to do?

Lu Zhizhou glanced at Wen Zhi.

Wen Zhi's gaze drifted lightly towards the window, the meaning of which was clear.

If she doesn't go, I won't go either.

Damn, Lu Zhizhou is really hurt. He's a complete traitor who forgot his principles for the sake of beauty.

Wen Zhi is still a repressed old man. Since he wanted Xiao Shengsheng to go, he was still pretending to be dead and not saying a word, making the birthday boy beg for help!

Lu Zhizhou persisted: "Come on, they're all acquaintances from school, and there are a few girls too. We'll have dinner and then I'll take you home... It definitely won't be past eleven."

"Go even if it's just dog hair, just keep her company."

Wen Yisheng looked up in surprise, "Even the academic genius is going?"

For the past month, Lu Zhizhou delivered breakfast to Ye Hehua every day, but without exception, she threw it all into the trash can.

Just two days ago, Ye Hehua actually didn't throw away breakfast and even agreed to go to Lu Zhizhou's birthday party.

"Yes, that's right... She nodded." Lu Zhizhou glanced somewhat awkwardly at Ye Hehua in the front row, a slight smile in his eyes.

Another girl from another class walked into the classroom.

The girl greeted Lu Zhizhou, then went straight to Xie Yu's seat, looking distressed: "Xie Yu, I feel like I'm going to fail this exam, sob."

Lu Zhizhou introduced the girl to Wen Yisheng: "This is Song Man, Xie Yu's girlfriend. She'll be coming along later."

Wen Yisheng looked over, quite surprised.

She and Xie Yu had barely spoken, but she knew that Xie Yu was a rather aloof and taciturn person. How could he be in a relationship so early?

Upon hearing this, Song Man sat opposite Xie Yu, covered her face with her hands, and whispered shyly, "Brother Zhou said I'm your girlfriend."

Xie Yu frowned, his face expressionless.

Ye Hehua, who was in the front row, suddenly stood up, walked past Xie Yu's table, and stood in front of Lu Zhizhou: "When are you leaving?"

Lu Zhizhou's gaze was directed at Wen Yisheng.

Wen Yisheng replied, "Okay, I'll go." If the academic genius goes, she'll go too.

"Brother Zhi?" Lu Zhizhou turned his gaze and called out meaningfully.

Wen Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly, speaking sincerely: "Of course I'll go to your birthday party."

Tsk. That old sly fox.

Lu Zhizhou was speechless. He had just ignored him, but as soon as Xiao Shengsheng let go, he disgustingly pretended to be a close brother.

"Brother Zhi, why don't you not go? I think a good student like you should go home and go to bed early," Lu Zhizhou said deliberately, winking at him.

Wen Yisheng also turned to look at Wen Zhi, wanting to hear his answer.

Wen Zhi remained unfazed: "Brothers are more important than going to bed early."

"..." Lu Zhizhou wjby wanted to roll his eyes.

The kind that flips up into the sky.
