Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
“…” Su Jiu looked left and right. Even after searching for a while, she could not find him. Her clear and lively eyes slowly dimmed.
She could tell that the little villain looked a little down. Is he having a difficult time with something?
It has to be. Otherwise, why would he hide from me? If something has happened, does it mean there’s still a possibility of him turning evil?
As she thought of his gloomy eyes, Su Jiu’s heart sank. She had a bad feeling.
Slowly, she walked along the streets, still looking for Rong Si.
After a while, her chauffeur found her and anxiously said, “Little Miss, where did you go? I’ve been searching for you for a long time. How can you just run around by yourself? If anything happens, Old Master and Young Master won’t let me off.”
“I’m sorry, Uncle,” Su Jiu said as she looked around. She still could not see Rong Si, so she could only give up.
After she got into the car, Rong Si came out from behind a comer and watched the car drive away, his eyes dim.
He had been too careless today. He hadn’t seen the Bentley that Su Jiu had been sitting in. So, he had thought that she had stopped coming to the school. That was why when he had walked out of the school gate, he had been caught by surprise.
Rong Si did not know how he should feel. His current feelings were hard to describe. He had originally planned to wait, mentally prepare himself, and gather his courage before facing her again.
Unexpectedly, she had caught him off guard and even recognized him. Would she be angry that I left her just like that?
It didn’t matter. He did not have the confidence to appear in front of her now.
What should I do?

‘When Su Jiu reached home, Su Shengjing had already returned. He was wearing light-colored loungewear as came out of the kitchen, his hands full with plates of food. When he saw that Su Jiu had returned, he instantly smiled. “Baby, you’re back. Wash your hands and eat.”
He placed the dishes on the dining table.
Su Jiu puffed up her cheeks and dejectedly walked toward him. She reached out to hug him and buried her face against his chest. Her voice came out muffled. “Daddy…”
She looked like a little kitten seeking comfort after being injured. Su Shei
g’s heart softened. He held her shoulders, letting her lean on him as he asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Su Jiu lowered her head and nodded.
‘When Su Shengjing heard that, he was shocked. It was rare for his daughter to get unhappy. Something bad must have happened. He immediately asked in anger, “Did someone bully you? Daddy will help you!”
“No one bullied me. I just met a liar!”
“A liar?” Su Shengjing instantly became alert. “Baby, what kind of liar did you meet? Did they want to cheat you of my money or s*x?”
His daughter was so beautiful and cute. If someone had lied to her for s*x, it would be a huge tragedy. He would fight it out with that bastard!
“No, I met someone I knew before. I recognized him, but he refused to admit who he was. Daddy, don’t you think he’s a liar?”
So it wasn’t what I had expected. Su Shengjing heaved a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, “Who is it? If you recognized him, why did he still refuse to admit it? Is he not on good terms with you?”
“That’s not it… Our relationship was clearly very good…” Su Jiu trailed off. As she thought about Rong Si leaving her like that, she became even more unhappy.
Eh?
Su Shengjing felt that things were not as simple as his daughter was making them out to be. He suspiciously looked at her.
Their relationship was clearly very good?
Who is she talking about? Could it be that rascal?
Just as he thought about it, Su Shengjing suddenly realized that Su Jiu’s leg was bandaged. He instantly became anxious. “Baby, what happened to your leg?! Did you fall?”
$u Jiu curled her lips and did not say that it was because she had been chasing after Rong Si. She only said, “Yes, I accidentally fell.”
“Is it serious? Does it hurt? Baby, if you’re hurt, you have to tell me immediately. You should’ve told me you hurt your leg. I could’ve carried you back. You didn’t need to walk!” Su She
g’s heart ached.
‘When his daughter was younger, his heart would ache for her no matter what she encountered. It was the same now, when she was older. He could not bear to see her hurt at all.
$u Jiu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did her father always treat her like a kid? Moreover, her knee was only scratched. It was not a big deal, and she did not need to be carried on his back. That was too much. “Daddy, it’s just a small injury. It’s fine. You don’t have to worry.”
“How can I not be worried?” Su Shengjing’s brows were tightly knitted. “Are you really fine?”
“Tm fine!” Su Jiu replied in a cheerful tone. She even reached out to touch Su Shengjing’s tightly furrowed eyebrows, persuading him to relax.
Su Shengjing was still worried. “If you’re fine, why is your knee so tightly bandaged? Untie the bandage, and let me take a look.”
Su Jiu smiled and hugged her father’s neck. “Daddy, I’m really fine. I promise you! If something had happened, would I still be alive and kicking?”
Su Shengjing snorted. “I’m your father! I have to care about you! Also, which brat treated you badly? I’ll fight him!”
Seeing that he was serious, Su Jiu felt helpless and amused. “Daddy, I don’t even care about him, and neither should you. Let’s eat, I’m starving!”
$u Jiu let go of him and ran to the kitchen to wash her hands.
Su Shengjing turned to look at her retreating back and frowned again.
He had watched this little girl grow up. He could tell at a glance if she had anything on her mind. However, she had grown up now; she was no longer the little packrat she used to be. If she had something on her mind now, she did not even want to talk to him anymore. Suddenly, he felt a little upset.
If only she had never grown up.
Seeing that Su Jiu did not intend to explain herself at all, Su Shengjing did not ask. He pretended as if nothing had happened and put some food on her plate, reminding her to eat more. Unfortunately, after they had finished eating, Su Jiu did not once mention what happened earlier. Su Shengjing could
not help but feel even more puzzled.
The hearts of girls are indeed hard to read.
However… if any little bastard dared to hurt her and make her sad, I would not let him off easily!

Su Jiu thought about Rong Si the whole night and did not sleep well. When she woke up in the morning, her dark eye circles were especially obvious. After a muddle-headed day, she took out her phone and called Rong Si in the evening.
The only response she got was the sound of the phone ringing.
Even after she waited for a while, he still did not pick up the call. Su Jiu gritted her teeth and angrily hung up the phone.
Little villain, where did you learn such a bad habit of ignoring calls?
She called him twice more, but Rong Si still didn’t pick up. However, he sent her a message a while later with only one word: Sorry!
Sorry?
What’s the use of apologizing? If he’s really a man, he would meet me face to face!
$u Jiu felt a little angry but also a little bitter. Now, she knew without a doubt that the little villain must have experienced something terrible. He would never have given up his place in the top university otherwise, much less return to high school here. It was too unbelievable!
She had no choice but to go to Rong Si’s school again.
Su Jiu knew that the little villain was hiding from her, so waiting like this would most likely not yield any results. Looking at the students swarming out, she planned to find someone to ask which class the little villain was in.
After asking a girl and finding out where Rong Si’s classroom was, Su Jiu ran straight into the school. The surrounding students looked at her in surprise.
Isn’t this girl from another school?
Why has she barged into the school? Is she looking for Rong Si? Is he so famous already? So many girls from other schools know about him.
Su Jiu ran all the way to the classroom. When she reached the back door of the classroom, she carefully peeked inside..
