"Whatâs wrong, not going home again?" Ouyang Yanming casually asked Xuanyuan Junrui as he leaned against the car door.Xuanyuan Junruiâs eyebrows furrowed and he kicked the car body fiercely: "With that woman there, why bother going back."
Sima Kai tossed his hair carelessly: "If not going back, then letâs not. How about the bar? I heard they hired a new batch of pretty waitresses."
"Letâs go."
Both turned to look at Ouyang Yanming, who seemed less enthusiastic: "You guys go ahead, Iâm not going."
This wasnât the first time he had done this, so Xuanyuan Junrui and Sima Kai no longer tried to persuade him and drove away.
Ouyang Yanming, seeing them leave, took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. Xuanyuan Junrui didnât like the smell of smoke, so he generally didnât smoke when he was around, and that woman at home couldnât stand the smell of smoke either, so he could only indulge his craving when he was alone. He enjoyed his solitary moments, yet invariably some unseeing people would come to bother him.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, I like you, please accept this." The person who came was a beautiful girl, who spoke with her ears turning red and head hanging low, holding a box of chocolates and a love letter high up.
"Get lost!" Ouyang Yanming said coldly.
The girl was startled, clearly not expecting this reaction, her face instantly turning pale as tears fell one after the other.
Ouyang Yanming, seeing the girl standing still in shock, stamped out his cigarette with disgust, then turned and left without looking back.
Other girlsâ laughter echoed around, Ouyang Yanming was the school heartthrob, not someone just anyone could chase after.
But that being said, everyone hoped to attain this unattainable flower, everyone hoped to become Ouyang Yanmingâs girlfriend.
"Young Master has returned." The old butler opened the door for Ouyang Yanming, his face filled with a smile.
"Hmm." He answered softly, then glanced inadvertently at the second floor, "Whereâs the young lady?"
"Miss Lin has also returned, sheâs practicing piano in the piano room."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yanming headed towards the second floor and gently pushed open the door of the piano room.
Seeing this, the old butler smiled in relief. The master had originally worried that the Young Master would not accept the new Lady and Miss, but he felt that the Young Master and the Miss were getting along quite well.
Beautiful and melodious piano sounds emanated from the piano room, Ouyang Yanming leaned against the door frame, somewhat transfixed by the girl playing the piano.
The girl was dressed in a pure white dress, her chestnut-colored curly hair cascading over her shoulders. She was very pale; viewed through the window, her skin was nearly translucent, yet Ouyang Yanmingâs heart constricted tightly, fearingly she might fly away like an angel.
"Yanming brother, youâre back." The girl finished the last note and turned around smiling at him.
Ouyang Yanming relaxed his tense body, still expressionless but his eyes considerably softer, he quietly hummed in response.
Her name was Lin Xiaoman, a sister brought over by his stepmother. Initially, Ouyang Yanming didnât like her, and once particularly detested her calling him âYanming brotherâ. However, when she collapsed in front of him due to a heart attack, he panicked inexplicably.
Just the thought of never hearing Lin Xiaoman calling him âYanming brotherâ again was something he couldnât forgive himself for, but fortunately, Lin Xiaoman was saved. Hearing her call him âYanming brotherâ once again and saying she didnât blame him, Ouyang Yanming decided no longer to oppose her, and to properly protect her.
"Is school fun?" Lin Xiaoman looked at him curiously, blinking her big eyes.
Because of her heart disease, Lin Xiaoman rarely went to school, but at the same time, she envied her peers who did, so whenever Ouyang Yanming returned, she would always excitedly ask him about the things happening at school.
"Just like that."
Seeing Lin Xiaoman pouting unhappily, Ouyang Yanming quickly explained with some anticipation, "Auntie said your health is much better now, and there arenât many classes at school, so it wonât be tiring. Why donât you join me in attending classes?"
Lin Xiaoman chuckled, "Brother Yanming, have you forgotten? Iâm a year younger than you. Even if I went to school, Iâd be in junior high, not in the same campus as you."
Ouyang Yanming frowned with frustration, then added, "What does that matter? We donât need to take entrance exams anyway, our family owns shares in the school." implying that Lin Xiaoman neednât worry about those things.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoman looked at him disapprovingly, "Brother Yanming, that wonât work. I wonât be able to keep up with the pace. Just wait for me, okay? Iâve already asked uncle to get me a tutor, and if my grades are okay, Iâll go to school next year, alright?"
Since that incident, Ouyang Yanming hardly ever refused any requests from Lin Xiaoman, so he pursed his lips and agreed.
Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Junrui and Sima Kai ordered a whole bunch of expensive drinks at the bar, drawing both the waitresses and women looking for a hook-up due to their generous spending.
Xuanyuan Junrui, annoyed by the strong perfume scent, frowned in disgust, while Sima Kai enjoyed himself; having grown up in the United States, he was more open-minded about these matters.
"Since weâre here, why the long face? Be careful not to scare the beauties away," Sima Kai said, draping his arm around a woman who approached him, addressing Xuanyuan Junrui.
After drinking a couple of drinks, Xuanyuan Junruiâs expression grew more impatient, then he pushed the bottle away and stood up, "Iâm leaving, you have fun by yourself."
"Hey, handsome, donât leave!"
"Yeah, we can play something else if you donât want this."
Sima Kai blocked the women, smiling casually but earnest, "Alright, my buddyâs not in the mood today. Be careful or he might lose his temper and youâll regret it."
"Besides, even without him, arenât I still here? Do I look any less handsome or rich than him?"
"How could that be!"
"Young Master Sima, you have to take good care of us sisters today!" A group of boldly dressed waitresses quickly surrounded Sima Kai again.
Sima Kai, having a good time, didnât mind spending the money, waved his hand and ordered several more bottles of expensive liquor, causing the ladies to crowd around him, giggling.
After leaving the bar, Xuanyuan Junrui, cooled by the breeze, felt slightly better, but he still didnât want to go home, so he rode his custom Harley around the streets.
"Watch out!" Just as he turned a corner, Xuanyuan Junruiâs Harley nearly crashed into a girl.
"San San, are you alright?" Li Manyu asked anxiously.
Zhao Shanshan stood up from the ground, gritting her teeth in pain and upon seeing her knee was scraped, she reassured her friend with a smile, "Itâs okay, just a minor injury."
Li Manyu frowned, indignant on her behalf, "What kind of person runs into someone and doesnât even apologize? Such poor manners!"
"Itâs fine, Manyu, Iâll just apply some medicine when I get back."
Li Manyu scrunched her nose and waved her fist, "Next time I see him, Iâll definitely give him a piece of my mind."
