After returning to the classroom, the tall and thin boy went to Little Qi’s side once again.

  “The boy who took you away just now, was it He Yanzhi?”


  Little Qi was stunned for a moment. Realizing that he might not have seen He Yanzhi’s face clearly, she coughed lightly and explained, “He Yanzhi took a leave of absence, didn’t he? That’s someone I’m close to. He saw me with a boy and was afraid that I would be at a disadvantage, so…… he dragged me out and gave me a good scolding. It’s best that you don’t get close to me. He is very hot-tempered. I’m afraid that he’ll find trouble with you.”


  The boy was timid to begin with. After being scared like this, he immediately smiled sheepishly and said, “I was just joking with you. Don’t take it to heart.”


  “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s fine as long as we’re all clear about it.” Little Qi waved her hand and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

  After the class get-together ended, Little Qi directly took her school bag and walked out. Before the others could walk out of the school gate, she had already climbed onto the back seat of He Yanzhi’s motorcycle.

  He Yanzhi hurriedly asked, “Who’s chasing you?”


  “Isn’t this a secret relationship? If we don’t leave now, the others will find out……” Little Qi quickly said. “Think about it, my boyfriend is He Yanzhi. If people find out, it will be a little troublesome.”


  He Yanzhi saw her mumbling and smiled dotingly. “There’s still half an hour left. I’ll take you to eat something delicious?”


  “My parents didn’t say that I have to go home by nine o’clock……”


  “That’s your parents. As your boyfriend, I have the obligation to send you home before nine o’clock.” After He Yanzhi finished speaking, he put on his helmet and drove Little Qi through the streets. There was no one around. Finally, they arrived at the entrance of a snack shop.

  “This is it?” Little Qi got down from behind He Yanzhi. When she saw the tattered signboard, things felt a little creepy. She felt that this place sold human flesh.

  He Yanzhi did not answer her. Instead, he went straight into the dessert shop and got a piece of dessert.

  “Here.”


  Little Qi held it in her hand and was a little surprised. “Such a shabby shop can make such a cute dessert.”


  “This is the first piece of cake I’ve eaten since I came to Jianchuan. On the day my parents had the accident, I bought dessert here. From then on, I no longer know what desserts taste like,” He Yanzhi explained calmly. There was even a trace of self-mockery. “Because of my gluttony, I managed to avoid a car accident. I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.”


  Little Qi looked at the dessert in her hand and quickly licked it. “Of course it was fortunate. You almost died, so you now know that living is the best.”


  He Yanzhi put down the motorcycle and held Little Qi’s hand. Then, he took her for a walk on the streets.

  “What’s with your old illness?”


  “When I was nine, I had a serious illness,” Little Qi said casually. “I ended up on the operating table and fainted several times. My mother was so scared that she didn’t sleep for a few days. However, I don’t really remember what caused the illness.”


  After He Yanzhi heard it, he patted Little Qi’s head. “If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it.”


  Actually, He Yanzhi knew that Little Qi’s old illness had something to do with the back of her head.

  That was because every time he touched it, he would feel the scar.

  “This cake is really delicious. No wonder you were greedy when you were younger.” Little Qi took a bite and couldn’t stop. Although her mouth was a little cold, her mouth and heart felt the sweetness.

  “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”


  He Yanzhi stopped looking at Little Qi with tender eyes. He put his arm around her shoulder and took her back to where they parked the motorcycle.

  Being children of the rich did not equate them being happy. He Yanzhi and Little Qi were proof of that.

  The more they had, the more they could lose.

  In the darkness, the shadows of the two stretched out.

  “I’ll take you to meet my friends after school tomorrow.”


  “Really?”
