A slightly older board member sighed and held Bi Ying and Huo Tian’s hands. “Heroes really come from the youth. People like you are a great fortune for the entire country and society. I hope you won’t let down your youth and your talent.”
To put it simply, he was telling the two youngsters to do their research well and earn big money for him!
When Si Huan brought them away, Huo Tian could still hear the board members gloating and discussing softly behind her back.
“He Yu really tried to go for wool but came back shorn. No matter what he does, he is competitive and wants to take the most benefits for himself. Look at how things are now. He’s not getting any benefits from this at all.”
“This is what they called avaricious and insatiable. That’s enough, I don’t think we should get too involved with him. He Yu and Bi Ying seem to have a deep feud between them. Bi Ying is young and has a stubborn personality. Let’s not make this child unhappy.”
“How can it not be a great feud? He Yu caused Bi Ying to fall and break his legs. Bi Ying is wearing prosthetic limbs now.”
His prosthetic legs look completely like a normal pair of legs. Are these the smart prosthetic limbs that Si Huan mentioned that were pending commercialization?
…
Huo Tian felt that she had won a victory with Si Huan and Bi Ying today, so she walked in front of the two boys valiantly with her head held high and chest puffed up, like a proud rooster patrolling its territory.
Si Huan felt happy to see her proud expression. He had wanted to be solemn and tell Huo Tian about the mistake she had made today, but when he spoke, his tone was gentle and unhurried, not sounding awe-inspiring at all.
“Huo Tian, do you know what mistake you made today?”
Huo Tian was stunned by Si Huan’s question. She turned around and looked at him curiously. “Si Huan, what are you talking about? I didn’t do anything wrong today. The one who was in the wrong was clearly He Yu, who had ulterior motives!”
“It seems like you’re not too stupid. You still know that He Yu had ulterior motives.” Si Huan shook his head helplessly and patted Huo Tian’s head gently.
Although it didn’t hurt, Huo Tian still covered her head, feeling aggrieved. She muttered unhappily, “Why did you hit me? If you’re angry, you should go and hit He Yu!”
Bi Ying, who was walking beside Huo Tian, was rendered helpless by her simple-mindedness. He rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “Since you know that He Yu is up to no good, you shouldn’t have responded to him earlier.”
As if recalling the face of his enemy, Bi Ying frowned in disgust. “In the future, when facing such a detestable guy, you can just treat their words as farts. The more you pay attention to him, the more interested he becomes. In the end, you’ll end up being the one disgusted by him!”
“Bi Ying, you have a point.” Huo Tian nodded and tilted her head to look at Bi Ying in confusion. “But you were also infuriated by He Yu today. Why couldn’t you maintain your composure when facing him?”
Bi Ying almost choked. After being silent for a while, he rolled his eyes and said, “I can’t be bothered with you!”
They happened to have reached the square in front of the academic building and quickly left in the direction of the Year One classrooms.
Looking at his hurried back view, Huo Tian snorted proudly. “Fleeing just because you can’t win against me! Loser!”
“Putting aside Bi Ying, didn’t you almost fall into He Yu’s trap as well? Weren’t you led on by the nose by him?”
Si Huan chuckled and patted Huo Tian’s shoulder. “You have to be more careful when you see He Yu in the future. Otherwise, you might even end up helping him collect money even after being sold.”
Huo Tian pouted unhappily. “I’m not that stupid. I’m a real genius!”
It was true that she was a genius, but also true that she was foolish. The two contradicting characteristics didn’t seem contradictory when they were on Huo Tian. It only added a different charm to her that made people want to get close to her.
Si Huan shook his head with a sigh when he sensed the strange feeling that had just emerged in his heart. Turned out that love was really something uncontrollable. The situation didn’t seem too good.
Huo Tian hummed a song in a good mood and returned to the classroom. Her path was blocked at the classroom’s door by two boys who were each carrying a box of books.
“Make way, make way, please don’t block the way…”
Huo Tian moved to the side to make way for them to pass through, tiptoeing to look into the classroom. She realized that there was a familiar student beside her. He should be from her class. Huo Tian patted the boy’s shoulder.
“Student, what happened? Why is everyone watching the commotion?”
Zhang Hao, who was enjoying himself, was slapped so hard that he almost jumped up. He turned around and realized that it was the study god who was wearing a perplexed expression.
Zhang Hao told Huo Tian excitedly, “Study God, you don’t know?”
“Know what?” Huo Tian looked confused.
“It seems like you really don’t know anything,” Zhang Hao whispered mysteriously. “Huo You is going to transfer to another class. A few people came to help her move her things. Tsk, tsk. After becoming the young miss of a rich family, things are indeed different now.. She has so much clout now…”
