Chapter 604: You Have to Grow Taller
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Two years ago, the Sheng family had sent Sheng Zhiyan to an overseas school. At that time, the boy had been extremely unwilling, but he had no choice. He was in that school overseas and could only return during the holidays.
Hence, it had been a while since Su Jiu had seen him,
She had to admit that boys grew up really fast, especially their height. Even though Sheng Zhiyan was only a year older than her, he was much taller than her!
Su Jiu curled her lips and seriously replied, “Not at all! Look at how fierce you are, always fighting. Didn’t I tell you not to fight? You have to be polite.”
“Heh, I don’t have that much time to waste on them. It’s best to settle things simply and roughly.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Fine! As long as you’re happy!
At this moment, a man in his thirties or forties ran over to the group. When he saw Sheng Zhiyan, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Oh, Little Young Master, can you stop running around? I couldn’t find you just now and I was scared to death. This isn’t like the capital. There aren’t surveillance cameras all over the streets. You have to be careful. What if you get kidnapped by traffickers?”
Sheng Zhiyan sneered in disdain. “Do you really think that I’d be abducted by human traffickers? Do they have the guts and brains to do that?”
The man choked, then nodded and bowed. “Yes, yes! Little Young Master is the smartest.”
Sheng Zhiyan replied, “Exactly! It’s good that you know.”
Su Jiu felt helpless. It had been a few years, but Sheng Zhiyan’s personality had not changed at all. He was still an arrogant and reckless young master. However, this was also what made him cute.
When Su Shengjing saw Sheng Zhiyan, he could not help but roll his eyes.
His daughter could really charm people. Ever since she was young, she had been chased by several little brothers. Now, another one had appeared, and he had chased her all the way here.
Without thinking, Su Shengjing knew that Sheng Tianci, that fool, had told this brat about his plans with Little Jiu!
Sheng Zhiyan looked at Su Jiu and smiled. “Little Jiu, we haven’t seen each other for so long. Come, look at me! Do you notice anything different?”
Su Jiu tilted her head and sized him up. She curiously asked, “What’s different?”
“No way! You can’t even tell?” Sheng Zhiyan was very dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows and ran his fingers through his hair. “Don’t you realize that your big brother is even more handsome than before?”
Su Jiu glanced at him. “I don’t know if he has become more handsome, but I know that his skin has become thicker.”
When Sheng Zhiyan heard this, he clutched at his chest with a pained expression. “Little Jiu, how can you say that? It hurts my heart.”
“Do you want me to help you bandage it?”
“No, I need Little Jiu to kiss me, hug me, and praise me so I can recover.”
Su Jiu’s mouth twitched. “Get lost!”
Sheng Zhiyan burst out laughing and reached out to pat her hair again. At that moment, he inadvertently glanced behind her and saw Rong Si standing at the entrance of the district. It stunned him.
This boy looked about the same age as him. His eyes were dark, and he seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy aura. The boy stared at the hand Sheng Zhiyan used to rub Little Jiu’s hair with as if he were considering whether he should chop it up.
Sheng Zhiyan felt a chill down his spine.
No, that must have been my imagination.
Sheng Zhiyan drew back his gaze and pretended not to see Rong Si. He said to Su Jiu, “Little Jiu, I came all the way here to look for you. I haven’t had lunch yet. Why don’t we have lunch together? What do you want to eat? My treat!”
Before Su Jiu could reply, Rong Si coldly said, “She already ate..”
