My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

"Next sentence!"

"...I won't tell you!"

Wang Yuting unusually admitted defeat.

She turned around and slipped into the room, peeking her head out from under the door to look at Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu walked into the kitchen blankly and started washing the dishes. Even though the weather wasn't that hot today, his face was flushed.

"It's so hot."

Lin Jiu muttered to himself.

"I'm going to school now. Remember to bring the lunchbox I prepared for you to work."

Lin Jiu glanced at the time; she could still walk there leisurely without worrying about being late.

Since finishing breakfast, Lin Jiu had been doing housework, as if he were trying to make up for what he had missed yesterday. He worked diligently; even though it had only been one day without cleaning, the house felt dusty everywhere, which was unacceptable to Lin Jiu.

This is his home.

You must take care of your own home.

Not even a single insect can be allowed to get in.

Before leaving home, Lin Jiu took a quick shower and changed into her school uniform and trousers.

To be honest, Lin Jiu hadn't worn her school uniform and trousers for almost three days, and now she felt that the clothes looked strange on her.

Do you need me to take you to school?

Wang Yuting, who was playing a game, tilted her head back from the sofa, revealing her fair neck and even her loose top was stretched high.

"I'm not a child who needs someone to take me to school," Lin Jiu said while putting on her socks. "You have to go to work later, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth. Play less games and get more rest, okay? You can take a nap now."

"She's dead! It's all your fault, please."

"I only said a couple of things to you and you're already starting to find me annoying, huh?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Wang Yuting quickly closed the game and shut down her laptop.

"I brought my key. If a stranger knocks on the door, remember to check who it is first. Be careful on the way out." Lin Jiu put on her sneakers at the entrance and reminded Wang Yuting again.

"Okay, okay, old man—"

Wang Yuting paused for a moment, looked at Lin Jiu, and blushed.

She hadn't forgotten that not long ago, she had accidentally called him "husband."

"Old what?"

Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes, smiling as he waited for what was to come.

Wang Yuting stammered for a while before whispering, "...Mom."

Lin Jiu picked up her phone: "I'm going to tell Mom about this."

"No—"

Wang Yuting let out a wail.

Mo Xiao is very sensitive about her age; anyone who says she's old will get beaten up.

Lin Jiu teased Wang Yuting for a bit, then closed the door, took the elevator to the first floor, and walked towards the entrance.

"stop!"

Lin Jiu didn't expect that she would be stopped by someone as soon as she arrived at the door.

He turned his head and, after about three seconds, remembered who was standing in front of him.

"Class monitor, what a coincidence!"

Lin Jiu waved to the class monitor, a question rising in her mind—what was her name again?

"What's so coincidental? I've been standing here for half an hour!"

Ning Yueyao looked at Lin Jiu with a resentful expression. Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong and asked with suspicion, "You don't forget my name again, do you? Did you bump your head accidentally, or is there something wrong? Should we see a doctor?"

"My health is better than ever before..."

Lin Jiu sincerely stated that since being taken care of by Wang Yuting—after signing the contract—his physical and mental health had been guaranteed. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he even felt he was starting to grow taller; at this rate, reaching 1.8 meters wasn't impossible.

Sure enough, I'm still in the age of physical development. The reason I didn't grow taller before was simply because of insufficient nutrition.

Lin Jiu regained hope in life and felt that there was something new to look forward to. Maybe soon he would be able to say goodbye to the life of being short.

"We'll be late if we don't leave now. Goodbye, class monitor."

"Wait a minute, let's go together."

Ning Yueyao quickly followed.

After finishing her meal, she waited here for half an hour to see if Lin Jiu went to school. If he ran away, then her wait would have been in vain.

Lin Jiu glanced at her, but did not refuse. Instead, he slowed down his pace.

He didn't know what Ning Yueyao wanted to do, but it didn't matter; he knew what he had to do.

Lin Jiu slowly scanned the area from left to right, subtly glancing around and even looking upwards. He memorized the faces of everyone he encountered along the way, comparing them to those he had seen in the neighborhood before.

Officer Li said it's alright.

Lin Jiu believed him, but he believed in himself even more.

This matter concerns not only Lin Jiu's personal safety, but also that of her roommate Wang Yuting, who may also be affected.

Lin Jiu naturally wouldn't let his guard down. Yesterday, after he dressed up and went out with Wang Yuting, he had been secretly observing his surroundings. Now he was alone... no, he was accompanied by another person who had also attracted hatred.

The bait is all there; now it's just a matter of whether anyone will take the bait.

"What are you looking at?"

Ning Yueyao looked at Lin Jiu with curiosity.

Lin Jiu replied casually, "It's been a long time since I've been to school, I'm a little excited."

“I can’t tell you’re excited at all… By the way, do you know how many things have happened at school these past few days?” Ning Yueyao stood to Lin Jiu’s right and walked alongside him, trying to find a topic to talk about.

"what's up?"

Lin Jiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ning Yueyao felt a little relieved when she saw that Lin Jiu was finally interested; otherwise, she would have looked rather dull.

"The history teacher has been taken away by the police!"

Ning Yueyao's opening remarks were such a bombshell.

Lin Jiu nodded. He already knew about this, and it was the police officer who took the history teacher away who told him about it personally.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Ning Yueyao couldn't help but feel annoyed. The information she had spent the entire morning gathering from her classmates was utterly insignificant to Lin Jiu! This was just... too cool!

Why is Lin Jiu so calm?

Despite its small size, it gives people a sense of security.

If Lin Jiu panics because of this, Ning Yueyao will actually find him... kind of cute.

This is probably China's well-known double standard.

In any case, you can find something to shine in every aspect.

"Is that all?"

Lin Jiuxin was busy with two things at once: recording the people she saw along the way and talking with Ning Yueyao.

"Oh, um, weren't you fighting with those guys back then?" Ning Yueyao couldn't quite remember the names of the three guys, but she had heard news about one of them that morning. "Isn't one of the guys from a very wealthy family? Something happened to their family yesterday afternoon!"

"What happened?"

Lin Jiu asked with some curiosity.

This was information he was unaware of.

"Their family owns a hotel, and yesterday all of their stores were suddenly ordered to close down. Apparently, it was because they didn't meet fire safety standards or something..." Ning Yueyao wasn't very clear about this. She only heard the rumors from her classmates, and everyone seemed to be very happy about it.

It's easy to imagine how annoying that rich young master must have been before.

He's still just a student, yet he's always getting into trouble; he deserves to get beaten up.

The thought of that person holding a knife to her neck made Ning Yueyao feel nauseous, and she instinctively wanted to cover her throat.

"Over 70% of hotels fail fire safety inspections. Even the most fire-resistant materials can catch fire eventually. It's not like the Beijing Olympics medals, where the entire building burns down and the gold medal ribbons are gone without a trace," Lin Jiu said calmly. He knew very well that this was just an excuse. Now it's a fire safety issue, but what's next? Is that family really that clean?

If they were truly so clean, would they still hire someone to injure others?

As for who has the ability to shut down all of Li Zhihao's stores in a single day... it's clear that Lin Jiu doesn't have that kind of power, and no one would go to such lengths for him. Although Wang Yuting is a moderately wealthy woman, she has absolutely no connection to this kind of thing. She's just an ordinary office worker, a sloppy girl who can't even do housework when she gets home.

This matter has nothing to do with Lin Jiu, so there is only one answer left.

Lin Jiu silently looked at Ning Yueyao, this seemingly simple-minded girl, a flower living in a greenhouse, a classic case of someone who has become stupid from reading too much.

"what happened?"

Ning Yueyao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Jiu. Unlike others, whose gaze was filled with admiration or a hint of disgust, Lin Jiu's eyes seemed to be looking at a child under six years old, with an indescribable sense of humanistic concern hidden within them.

Lin Jiu said softly, "You have a good father."

"what?"

Ning Yueyao was dumbfounded.

This feeling is particularly strange.

A boy in her class, who was also the boy she admired, stared at her for half a minute and then said, "Your dad is awesome."

It's a ghost story.

What an incredible plot twist!

I cannot accept this!
