“Brother, we have someone by the name of Yu Yuanxi at school. Nobody talks to him and everyone hates him. Do you know why?”
…
“When he first came to school, he got the best results in his grade. Later, someone reported that he was cheating, but the school authorities took pity on him and didn’t expel him.
Grade A student Su Mushi, who got ‘dethroned’, hated him. Su Mushi also has a lot of die-hard fans and they ganged up on Yu Yuanxi.”
…
“Furthermore, when he arrived at school, he decided to help a student who was bullied by the school gangster.
“Turns out that the student owed the school gangster a million bucks, and the latter wanted his money back. Yu Yuanxi had offended the school gangster, who declared that whoever dared to befriend Yu Yuanxi would become his enemy.
“The school gangster also has many die-hard fans. As a result, Yu Yuanxi ended up as a nobody in our school, getting shunned by other students. Sounds pitiful, doesn’t it?”
…
“Brother, I saw him at the canteen today. He’s really poor. During lunch, he ordered a plate of rice and ate it with some pickled mustard greens that are usually sold outside for one yuan a pack.”
…
“Brother, I want to help him and treat him to a meal, but I’m worried that he will refuse due to pride. Tell me, what should I do?”
…
“Brother, did you know that my deskmate is an idiot? He keeps yapping away by my side and follows me around like a fly. I can’t get rid of him.”
…
“Brother, somebody bullied me today. She poured her drink into my plate of rice and forced me to eat it.”
…
“Do I look like a wimp? I lifted a plate of rice and slapped it across her face. You should have seen how funny she looked. She was about to explode!”
…
Shen Xi was overjoyed when the big boss finally responded to her verbally, so she became excited when she talked.
Time passed by quickly. Soon, the sky darkened.
“Xixi, time for dinner,” Yun Jinping called her.
A reluctant Shen Xi waved at him. “Brother, I’ll be off now. I need to finish my homework after dinner and I won’t be able to chat with you again. Enjoy your dinner, bye.”
The man seemed distant. He kept reading his book.
However, she knew that he was listening to her.
Li Yuan closed his book, swiveled his wheelchair around, and was prepared to leave.
After the girl was gone, Kun Lun strode towards the wall to pick up the breakfast in the basket. He spoke to Li Yuan in a courteous manner, “Boss, I’ll throw this away.”
Li Yuan returned a sideways glance and answered in a low voice, “Take it inside.”
Kun Lun was surprised. “But…”
“Heat it up and bring it to my room.” Li Yuan interrupted him.
Kun Lun felt confused.
The food had been placed outside for the whole day. Was he sure that he would not get sick from eating it?
‘Wait a minute, boss. What about your obsession with cleanliness? Haven’t you always avoided eating food from outside?’
Kun Lun’s jaw dropped.
Li Yuan had a small bowl of congee and two steamed buns. He wiped his mouth gracefully before ordering, “Take it away!”
Kun Lun walked towards him, took the remaining food and stepped out.
Li Yuan thought of the girl’s disappointed expression and added, “Finish the rest of the food, don’t waste it.”
Kun Lun lost his balance and nearly knocked his head on the door frame. He replied, “Yes.”
“Right,” Li Yuan called him again, “find out who bullied her.”
A stunned Kun Lun answered, “Alright.”
Gosh, the boss had taken an interest in the girl next door!
