Song Yu Xi felt a bit awkward and secretly glanced at Tang Yu.

  He is also considered to be relatively tall among boys, and with that sharp-angled handsome face, he is the standard sports-type sunny boy, but it seems that Song Yu Xi hasn't seen him smile much, as he is very cold to most people.

  Only in front of Su Ye, would he be warm like a sun.

  All the way through the bumpy road, he held onto the handrail, and even with his jacket on, you could see the toned muscles on his forearm, standing steadily, giving people a sense of inexplicable safety.

  The bus arrived at the station, and Song Yu Xi finally came back to his senses, hastily withdrawing his gaze, and walked home along the street.

  Her home is in a nearby neighborhood, the house is already very old, probably will be demolished in two years, so the environment here is particularly bad. There are all kinds of people, and when she passed by a dilapidated basketball court, she was stopped by several idle boys.

  Several boys with five-color hair, one of whom was holding a cigarette in his hand, dressed like typical hooligans.

  "Hey beautiful, want to chat? I'll treat you to dinner." A boy with dyed yellow hair said with a smile, his face full of acne.

  Song Yu Xi took two steps back, afraid of the situation. Seeing her tense and weak appearance, it further stimulated the malicious intentions of those boys, who continued to tease her more aggressively. The blonde boy even had the audacity to think about laying hands on her.

  "What's going on?" A low male voice came, Huang Mao cursed and was about to see who the newcomer was. When he met Tang Yu's gaze, his legs trembled instantly, it was an instinctive fear from his body.

  "Hey, who's this? Brother Yu, long time no see! Want a cigarette?" Huang Mao fawned over Tang Yu.

  Tang Yu: "I don't smoke."

  "Haha, yes, yes, yes, Yu Ge is a good man, that... who is this?" Huang Mao asked cautiously, afraid that this girl was his girlfriend.

  If he were to offend Tang Yu, he couldn't even begin to imagine the consequences...

  "My classmate." Tang Yu explained in a sentence, and those boys let out a collective sigh of relief. Good... it wasn't his girlfriend.

  "That girl, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier, don't take it to heart, if you need anything in the future come find me." Huang Mao cleverly defused the situation, Song Yu Xi was stunned, didn't expect Tang Yu to resolve everything without doing anything.

  What kind of person is he after all...

  A few little rascals dispersed with their tails between their legs. Song Yu Xi said softly: "Thank you."

  Tang Yu didn't say a word and took two steps forward. Suddenly he asked, "Song Yu Xi, what are you really afraid of?"

  This question had been asked by Su Ye before, but now it sounds ironic.

  Song Yu Xi silently lowered her head, she didn't know how to explain.

  Tang Yu just thought it was because of her personality and lightly said "goodbye" before leaving.

  ——

  The road is crowded with cars and people coming and going, Chen Yuan silently looked at the street of tutoring schools opposite, feeling a bit disheveled.

  All kinds of colorful posters for "Thirty Days Crash Course to Become a Top Student", "Full Marks in Math and Science in Ten Days" and "Surpass Bill Gates in One Year" are everywhere, making people feel that this is not tutoring but rather multi-level marketing.

  "Are you really going to attend a cram school?" Chen Yuan asked skeptically, he always felt that Su Nian was not the kind of person who could sit down and study quietly in a cram school...

  Su Nian clenched her small fist tightly, "Yes! I will study hard and become a top student."
