After Shen Zhao finished with his rebellious remark, the air sank and solidified like dried concrete.
“You’re late.” The expression on He Qinghuan’s face was faint, and his eyes moved back to Gu Wang’s body.
Gu Wang put down his trousers and stood straight, a little puzzled, “Isn’t class already over? Besides, wasn’t I already recorded as being late?”
He Qinghuan looked at Gu Wang and asked, long and drawn-out, “Isn’t that considered missing?”
Gu Wang, “…”
Perhaps it was Gu Wang’s aggrieved expression that pleased He Qinghuan. He threw down the sentence “There will be no next time” and turned into the classroom. Everyone next to him quietly looked over to see that Gu Wang was cut off by He Qinghuan again.
In the past, every time this happened, Gu Wang would jump his feet, pestering He Qinghuan endlessly, asking him why he didn’t like him all day.
But today Gu Wang didn’t act as usual. He didn’t seem to take He Qinghuan’s attitude to heart at all, and went back to his seat with Song Zhiyan packing things up.
[What’s going on with Gu Wang? He really doesn’t like He Qinghuan anymore?]
[It shouldn’t be. Didn’t he put a box of imported chocolates in He Qinghuan’s desk a little bit ago?]
[Caught in the act?]
[Not so much. I saw when Gu Wang looked into He Qinghuan’s eyes and he didn’t seem to really like him at all. Every time my family’s baby vented his anger, I could feel his deep love for him through his deep eyes!]
[Although A’Ya is disgusting, it’s true. Whether someone likes a person or not, you can tell by looking at their eyes. You can’t fake it, and even if you can, do you think Gu Wang has the acting skills?]
[Gu Wang really is a scumbag, If he says he doesn’t like him, then he doesn’t like him.]
[Fortunately, He Qinghuan doesn’t like him.]

The chat came from a small group in the class.
There were no boarding students at Jinyang High School, only day students. The rain didn’t stop at all. It came so suddenly the weather forecast couldn’t even detect it. It was a complete accident.
“Ah, how can I get back home? Can my mother come pick me up?
“I also called my dad. He said that there were too many cars stuck in a traffic jam.”
“God, when will I get home? I still have a lot of homework left to write…crying.”
At present, the school only had senior high school students, but the number wasn’t small. Some people chose to wait in the classroom, others went straight to the school gate, etc. There were shelters at the school gate, but they couldn’t accommodate too many people.
There was also a waiting area at the entrance of the teaching building.
Gu Wang belonged to the group waiting in the classroom, and so did He Qinghuan.
Shen Zhao and Song Zhiyan were neighbors. Shen Zhao’s father could easily take Song Zhiyan, but not Gu Wang as they were in two completely opposite directions.
Shen Zhao was disappointed when he left, “Wangwang, we actually want to live near you!”
Song Zhiyan added, “But we really can’t afford the villas by your place!”
It was no joke to describe every inch of their land as gold by means of hundreds of millions.
Gu’s family were the nouveau riche among the nouveau riche. There was no place to use it, money alone is useless. But their Gu family was still famous in Nancheng, so they strived to make Gu family become a genuine top-class aristocratic family.
Gu Wang watched these two people leave, arguing all the way, as a lot of people walked out of the classroom one after another. He raised his eyes and saw He Qinghuan’s figure, who looked aloof and lofty under the incandescent light in the classroom.
Gu Wang thought of He Qinghuan’s family. If Gu family were the nouveau riche, then He family were a real aristocratic family. Money was only a number in their eyes, and they valued other things more.
But He Qinghuan became the head of the He family after he graduated from university. The water of the He family ran too deep, and there were a large group of illegitimate children. Although it didn’t really affect He Qinghuan, nonetheless it would unavoidably bring lot’s of annoyance. Therefore, He Qinghuan had been carrying his family’s mission since he was a child, he had to make the He family prosperous for generations to come.
He Qinghuan’s life was not as good as people thought. The more he had, the more he lost.
For example, he learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, social etiquette, and everything the nobles must learn. He must not only learn it, but he must be the best in all of it.
Gu Wang felt that He Qinghuan was very pitiful.
Before he could hide his pity, his sight suddenly clashed into He Qinghuan’s, and He Qinghuan’s cold eyebrows suddenly became gloomy and sharp.
Gu Wang had never seen He Qinghuan show such an expression, and looked away in a panic, pretending to have seen nothing.
He lowered his head to look at the already finished paper on the table, not daring to look around again until the chilling eyes on his back disappeared. Gu Wang was finally relieved.
He really didn’t want to offend He Qinghuan. Whether he could have a good relationship was second. The main reason was that he didn’t think he could have a relationship with someone like He Qinghuan.
He was too far above him.
The rain was pouring outside as Gu Wang’s phone rang.
Gu Dazhi’s wild voice came through, “Wangwang, Dad is near your teaching building, where are you?”
Gu Wang felt his heart warm, “On my way down right now.”
He started to pack his schoolbag, and the episode that had just happened with He Qinghuan was forgotten.
“I rushed over from the restaurant and packed sweet and sour lotus root* for you, your favorite! When you get home your mother will stew some meatball soup* for you. Hurry down!” Gu Dazhi was always busy, and it was rare to meet his son. Gu Wang puts his phone aside to pack his things, as he talked non-stop by himself.
“Your grandma danced with people in the afternoon to fight with some sister’s in the square. Her sister’s all said that you’re a douchebag. Although your grandma feels the same way, only she can think it. None of us can say you’ve outgrown your bad temper or grown into a bigger person hm.”
“….”
The atmosphere of Gu family was particularly good, the kind that shared blessings and hardships. The original Gu Wang was an orphan who took advantage of anyone he could, and no one could become his true friend.
But now, Gu Wang had people he wanted to protect. They were all people living by Gu Wang’s side who treated him sincerely.
He packed up his things and was about to leave when He Qinghuan walked over.
He was elegant and thin, but he gave people a sense of oppression that didn’t let them dare raise their head. He Qinghuan had been trained as a family master since he was a child. He had the air of a superior in his bones.
He Qinghuan handed an umbrella to Gu Wang, “Take it.”
Gu Wang thought He Qinghuan was looking for trouble because of the episode just then. He didn’t expect to be given an umbrella and was a little confused, subconsciously he wanted to refuse.
Perhaps it was because he could see what Gu Wang was going to say, He Qinghuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Gu Wang’s heart trembled, and he quickly took the umbrella from He Qinghuan’s hand, “I will return it to you tomorrow.”
The boy took the umbrella and ran away quickly, as if there was some terrible monster behind him.
