Emily smiled innocently, but she quickly reacted. She looked at Shen Yu nervously and pulled him in her direction. She whispered, “Brother, let’s go together after school. Um… you have one more class than us in the afternoon. I’ll wait for you in the classroom. Come and find me after school.”
Shen Yu was a little happy, but he still felt strange. Something must have happened for Emily’s sudden decision.
After Emily saw Shen Yu’s gaze, she bit her lower lip. She did not want to tell Shen Yu the reason. She did not want Shen Yu to be as frightened as she was.
“Okay, if you don’t want to tell me, then forget it. But I’m not at ease with you alone in the classroom. Let Xiao Nan accompany you. Coincidentally, you can supervise him to do his homework. Otherwise, who knows how long he’ll go crazy playing when he goes back?”
Seeing that Shen Yu did not ask for the reason and directly agreed, Emily’s smile became even brighter. She hurriedly nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m very timid. I’ll also be afraid if I’m alone in the classroom. When the time comes, I’ll pull Sixth Brother along.”
Ring… Ring…
“It’s time for class. Brother, quickly go in. I’ll wait for you in the classroom after school. Don’t forget.”
Emily hurriedly pushed Shen Yu into the classroom while she quickly ran back to the classroom. Emily was considered lucky. Just as she ran into the classroom, the teacher walked in the next second.
Emily patted her chest and panted heavily. She said in a low voice, “It’s good. It’s good that I ran. Otherwise, it would be over.”
Shen Nan did not have the time to ask Emily where she had just gone after class. He was told by Emily to do his homework after school and then go home with Shen Yu. Shen Nan instantly blew up and was very puzzled. “Why?”
“You don’t want to? If you don’t want to, then forget it. I’ll wait alone.”
Hearing Shen Nan’s answer, Emily was very dissatisfied. She turned around and did not intend to pay attention to Shen Nan. In any case, she was determined to wait for Shen Yu, regardless of whether Shen Nan accompanied her or not.
Shen Nan sighed deeply and poked Emily’s back with his hand. “Great-aunt, I was wrong. Can’t I accompany you?”
“Then it’s settled. You’re not allowed to leave after school,” Emily turned around and said with great satisfaction. Shen Nan felt that he had been plotted against by Emily again.
“Tsk tsk, our Brother Nan’s reputation has been ruined by a little girl. Brother Nan, I only realized now that you’re a sis-con.”
Li Yu watched the show from the side with relish. He did not expect the arrogant Shen Nan to be defeated. He had seen it for a long time.
“Scram, scram, scram.” Shen Nan pushed Li Yu away unhappily. He was currently in a fit of anger, yet Li Yu still came to provoke him.
Qi Yan had been watching quietly, but her gaze on Emily carried a trace of inquiry.
Qi Yan seemed to have found something. She lowered her head. She did not know if she should ask. Did Emily stay behind to wait for Shen Yu to finish school because she said Qu Li had a backer?
Qi Yan looked at Emily in surprise. Was Emily not afraid? She was so young. Even if she accompanied Shen Yu after school, the seniors would not let her off.
Until the end of school, Qi Yan had looked at Emily several times, wanting to say something but stopping. Qi Yan gritted her teeth, pulled Emily’s wrist, and pulled her out of the classroom.
“Qi Yan? What’s wrong?”
Emily looked at Qi Yan with some confusion, especially the expression on Qi Yan’s face. How should she say it?
Emily did not know how to describe it. She was a little worried, a little nervous, and perhaps a little hesitant?
“Millie, you want to wait for Master Shen? Is it because I told you today that Qu Li has a backing from a senior?” Qi Yan took a deep breath and asked the question she wanted to ask.
Looking at Emily’s surprised expression, since she had already said it, there was no need to hide it anymore. Qi Yan continued to say anxiously, “If it’s really because of what I said, those seniors will definitely not let you off if they know that you’re with Shen Yu.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I didn’t wait for Brother to finish school because I was afraid that the seniors would find trouble with Brother. Instead, I wanted to go back to the classroom to supervise Sixth Brother’s studies. This is the task Third Aunt gave me.”
Emily was lying when she said that she wasn’t moved. After all, after spending two days together, Emily knew that Qi Yan wasn’t a warm-hearted person. She was only like this because she took the initiative to care for her. She really treated her as a friend.
