SDVPP Chapter 23

The footsteps of summer vacation are getting closer, and the atmosphere in the classroom becomes increasingly restless.

Lately, life has been quite fulfilling for Chi Han. During the day, he sits next to Rong Xu, studying and occasionally being fed snacks. In the evenings, he takes the time to complete one or two customized orders.

His once empty wallet is now becoming more and more abundant, even reaching the point of being considered well-off.

If it weren’t for a call from his mother, Chi Han might have completely forgotten about the two people who caused trouble for him.

His mother had expected to hear her son apologizing or expressing remorse, but instead, she found out that he was living a more comfortable life now!

“In the afternoon, the headmaster of your school called me. I’ve informed your father about your recent grades, and you did well. Keep up the good work.”

Chi Han’s mother spoke in a calm tone, but there was a sense of pride she couldn’t conceal. She had probably already bragged to numerous people.

“What reward do you want this time? Your father is planning to buy you a sports car. I’ve unblocked your account and transferred one million. Buy whatever you want.”

Chi Han lazily picked up a small pair of scissors to trim a green plant, responding with a casual “Oh.”

A sports car? One million?

Chi Han yawned and played with the lush green leaves, seemingly indifferent.

His earnings from last night’s custom orders far exceeded this amount.

His mother: “…”

She restrained herself, intending to speak calmly, but accustomed to giving orders, she couldn’t help but scold, “What’s with your attitude?! You’re becoming more and more unbearable! If it weren’t for your father and me, do you think you could grow up so comfortably? Because of us, you’ve avoided so much suffering!”

Chi Han tossed the scissors onto the table with a crisp sound, and there was a clear silence on the other end of the phone.

“What kind of attitude do you want from me?” Chi Han smiled, his lips cold. “If you want to control me, then give me some money. If you don’t want to bother, then don’t ask or care for months. Even if you’re raising a wild plant, you should water it occasionally, right?”

Without waiting for his mother to speak, Chi Han continued, “Oh, by the way, you should continue to freeze those cards of yours. The little money left in them isn’t enough for my breakfast tomorrow. If there’s nothing else, let’s end the call. Don’t bother calling in the future.”

Yin Bei looked incredulously at the disconnected screen, experiencing a momentary cardiac episode.

Was this articulate person still the same Chi Han who used to be so submissive?

After catching her breath, Yin Bei angrily called her assistant, her face darkening. “Go, freeze all of Chi Han’s cards for me, and vacate the house. He’s not allowed to stay!”

The assistant timidly agreed.

Yin Bei supported her forehead, her eyes filled with icy anger.

Fine, if he’s so capable, let him fend for himself!

—

Although Chi Han had planned to move out, he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

And he was even being kicked out.

This time, his mother was determined to teach him a lesson. She didn’t allow him to take anything valuable. Except for the books and clothes in his room, there were also the jade cutting machine and engraving machine in the basement.

But that was enough.

In the afternoon, Chi Han took a day off, found a small villa for rent online, and moved in first. After all, his machines were quite large, and a regular residential building might not have enough space for all his belongings.

The butler took on the task of cleaning up the house, and Chi Han packed up his machines before heading to class.

On his way back, he unfortunately encountered the headmaster again. The current headmaster was starkly different from the arrogant demeanor he had before.

“Hey… Student Chi Han!”

Chi Han pretended not to hear, quickening his pace and walking ahead.

“Student Chi Han, I discussed with other teachers. Rong Xu can transfer to Class 3, right across from Class 1. Is that acceptable?”

The head of the academic affairs department ran up, and his hair, almost unable to cover his forehead, made many passing students struggle to suppress their laughter.

What to do? It was just too difficult to hold back laughter when you saw a flying light bulb!

Initially, Chi Han found it amusing to see the headmaster’s changing expression. However, as time passed, it became nauseating, like stepping on gum that couldn’t be shaken off.

“Teacher, I’ve said it many times. Unless Rong Xu is my desk partner, I won’t transfer.”

Chi Han spoke with sincerity on his face.

He was deliberately making things difficult for the headmaster because he wouldn’t leave Rong Xu alone. Honestly, Class 1 had excellent teaching resources, and transferring there would indeed save him a lot of effort in terms of studies.

But compared to Rong Xu, all these things were insignificant.

Certainly, the college entrance examination was a lifelong regret for him.

However, it was just a regret.

But it was different for Rong Xu.

In Chi Han’s heart, Rong Xu was no longer a fragile paper person; he was the only reason Chi Han was willing to stay in this world.

If he missed it, everything would become meaningless now.

Chi Han looked somewhat indifferently at the lively crowd around him.

To put it bluntly, what did he care about these people, their thoughts, and what did it have to do with him?

The headmaster choked, unable to speak for a while.

This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult student.

Yesterday, the principal specifically talked to him, saying that Chi Han must transfer, even if it was forced.

However, Chi Han refused to take even his backpack and desk and insisted on staying in Class 19.

The headmaster suddenly felt that the few remaining hairs on his head were even more precarious.

So, he called Chi Han’s mother. Today, it seemed that the call had no effect; instead, Chi Han became even more resistant!

No, he had to think of another way.

The temptation of having a provincial top scorer from the school was too great. The headmaster thought for a moment and decided to try a different approach.

So, after the evening classes, he invited Rong Xu to the headmaster’s office.

“Rong Xu, ah,” the headmaster poured a cup of tea, his face regaining that mysterious and profound look, “Sometimes, you also need to consider the development of other classmates. Studying is the most important thing for students, right?”

Rong Xu’s gaze fell on his knees, his expression cold and indifferent, showing no intention to speak.

If this person didn’t say he wanted to talk about Chi Han, he wouldn’t have stepped into this room at all.

The headmaster looked at Rong Xu’s silent and unresponsive appearance, subtly sneering.

Tsk, just as Xu Man described.

Lifeless.

He cleared his throat and went straight to the point: “These days, I and other teachers from the school have approached Chi Han many times, hoping he could continue his studies in Class 1, but he refused.”

He felt somewhat distressed as he continued, “And all of this is because of you! I understand that students who get along well with each other may not want to separate, which is normal. But now, Chi Han is at an important stage in his life. How can you become an obstacle for him?”

“Chi Han insists that you should also enter Class 1 and be his desk mate; otherwise, he won’t transfer. Rong Xu, you should be aware of how hard Chi Han works in his studies, right? Don’t let him dislike you in the future.”

The headmaster continued to pile on the blame, not caring whether a child of this age could bear it.

“So, tomorrow, you have to persuade Chi Han to transfer to Class 1 and catch up with the progress. After class, you can play together! It’s possible!”

Rong Xu’s palm, originally resting on the armrest, had quietly clenched at some point.

In the depths of his eyes, the lonely place had already bloomed with a field of spring flowers.

Why can someone be so charming?

Rong Xu’s cold and icy brows instantly softened. Without saying a word, he left the headmaster’s office.

He would give everything that Chi Han wanted.

Early the next morning, as usual, Chi Han took out his textbook to start reading. In a fleeting moment, he was shocked as he glanced to his right.

Is today the climax of the novel?!

Why is Rong Xu starting to read the Chinese textbook?!

And he even asked for the final exam schedule??

No matter how Chi Han tried to inquire overtly and covertly throughout the morning, Rong Xu didn’t utter a single word.

With slightly lowered brows and eyes, Rong Xu’s gaze swiftly passed over a line of ancient poetry, his eyes indifferent.

Just a Class 1 student.
