Lii Yinyin bit her lip. "But she definitely won’t agree to it."
Qin Xiangge thought for a moment and said, "I remember Shen grew up at her uncle’s house. Her uncle and aunt raised her, so she’d probably listen to what her elders say, wouldn’t she?"
Tao Mi’s eyes lit up. "I understand now."
Qin Xiangge sighed. "I can’t really do much to help. Hopefully, this idea is beneficial to Yinyin."
An’an, I haven’t called you in several days. How have you been lately?"
On the subway, Shen You’an sat in her seat, her head leaning against the wall of the car. Her long legs were slightly bent and her expression casual and languid.
"Pretty good. How about you? Is practicing tiring?"
"Not tiring at all!" Qi Baotan’s voice was brimming with excitement. "An’an, let me tell you something—President Zhao has already helped me secure a school to repeat my high school studies. I need to wrap up the filming with the crew quickly, and then I’ll head to school. Now, every night when I go back to the hotel, I study for an hour before I sleep."
"Can your body handle this pace?"
"An’an, trust me. I can definitely do it. Opportunities are hard to come by, so I’ll cherish this one."
Shen You’an’s lips curved slightly. "Mm, I believe in you."
Just then, the subway pulled into the station, and an elderly man with difficulty walking entered the car. Shen You’an stood up and gave up her seat.
"Thank you, young lady."
The elderly man was just about to sit down when suddenly a figure darted forward and grabbed the seat first.
It was a young guy with a rogue-like demeanor. His arms were crossed as he gazed smugly at Shen You’an.
Shen You’an furrowed her brows and said to Qi Baotan over the phone, "I’ll call you back later."
She hung up and looked coldly at the young man. "Stand up."
"Forget it, miss. I’ll be getting off in two stops anyway," the elderly man said, trying to mediate.
Around them, other passengers were either engrossed in their phones or observing indifferently. Occasionally, someone shot the young man a disdainful glance.
The young man snorted. "Does this seat have your name on it? Why should I give it up?"
"I’ll say it one more time—stand up."
Her face was frosty, and her tone harsh. The man couldn’t help but feel a flicker of unease. But seeing how thin and frail she looked, with wrists that seemed ready to snap at the slightest bend, he didn’t take her seriously.
"So what if I don’t? What can you do about it?"
The girl raised an eyebrow and suddenly smiled. "Of course, I can’t do anything to you. After all, this is a society ruled by law. Hitting someone would land me in a police station."
The man laughed even more smugly.
Suddenly, his expression changed. His entire body began convulsing violently, and everyone around him screamed in alarm.
The man’s spasms caused him to collapse toward the floor. Shen You’an nimbly dodged, and he fell right by her feet, white foam oozing from his mouth.
"Tsk, it’s epilepsy. No wonder he doesn’t understand the concept of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Guess I’ll forgive you for your arrogance just now."
Shen You’an withdrew her gaze in disdain and helped the elderly man into the seat.
The elderly man looked at the convulsing young man on the floor with concern. "No, no, I need to call 120 right away."
As she said this, the elderly man reached for her phone.
Shen You’an stopped her. "He’s fine."
She crouched down and patted the young man’s shoulder. "Hey, are you okay?"
The man gradually regained consciousness, lying on the subway floor and gasping heavily.
At that moment, the subway security staff arrived and began dispersing the crowd.
The young man sat up and wiped angrily at the foam on his mouth.
When he looked up, he met the girl’s half-smiling gaze from the edge of the crowd.
Thinking of something, the young man suddenly became furious and pointed at Shen You’an. "It was you."
Shen You’an shrugged and said to the security staff, "It seems he’s quite ill. He should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible."
The young man scrambled to his feet and pointed at Shen You’an, shouting obscenities. "You’re the sick one! Your whole family is sick!"
Two security guards saw his escalating emotions and stepped forward to restrain him.
As the Spring Scholar Station arrived, Shen You’an stepped off the subway and disappeared into the sea of people, leaving the young man cursing ineffectually behind.
Meanwhile, every bystander stared at him as if he were a lunatic.
Indeed, this guy seemed seriously unwell.
"Ding." A system notification sounded in her mind.
[Mission: Punish Evil, Promote Good has been completed. Reward: 1 point.]
[007, you’re way too stingy. Can’t you be a little more generous with the rewards?]
[An’an, don’t make things difficult for me. I’m just a worker too. The system’s programming is set .]
Shen You’an bantered with the system as she entered an elevator and received a call from Shen Huailu.
Over the past couple of days, Shen Huailu had been attending a city-level educational research event. After receiving a call from an administrator and learning the details of the situation, she couldn’t make it back in time and had to delegate the matter to Meng Junzhu for handling.
