In the afternoon, the subject of the exam was Chinese. After finishing lunch, Chi Han took a short nap and then went to the playground to continue memorizing books.
The invigilator in the afternoon was the same as in the morning. Although she continued to stroll around the entire exam hall, the time she spent lingering around Chi Han was noticeably longer.
This made some people in the exam hall watch with great interest, wishing they could snatch Chi Han’s paper and read it out loud.
If it were someone else, having the teacher standing nearby might cause nervousness, but Chi Han had once carved jade in front of a client. Compared to that situation, the current one was like child’s play.
Chi Han focused all his attention on the questions. The part involving recitation should be all correct, but he found the translation part a bit challenging.
He wrote down what he was sure of first. For the ones he couldn’t figure out, he could only write based on his own understanding.
The essay topic was a typical argumentative essay. Chi Han thought for a moment, picked up his pen, and began writing swiftly.
After all, he was someone who had lived for ten more years; his perspective on issues naturally had a sharper edge.
Chi Han sat upright with a proper posture, looking from behind like a straight and tall pine tree. However, his handwriting was more like an unsheathed sharp sword, revealing its sharpness.
The invigilator silently praised in her heart.
Even if you didn’t consider the content of the essay, just based on the handwriting, he deserved a full score of forty! The bell rang, and the exam papers were collected.
Chi Han put down his pen and stretched lazily.
There were still tomorrow’s English and comprehensive science exams. He needed to continue reviewing physics tonight.
His gaze swept over the group of people whispering by the window, his expression calm.
During the exam, he had observed clearly that these people were passing small notes to each other.
But Chi Han never understood how confident they must be to pass on their own answers to others. Did they think they would be satisfied with a score of zero?
Chi Han looked at them with pity, shaking his head gently.
So young and with brains already malfunctioning, it was truly pitiful.
The next day’s English exam was no problem for Chi Han. Just the contacts stored in his phone from his previous life covered people from more than one country.
Except for the somewhat challenging physics in the afternoon, the rest went smoothly.
After finishing the exams, Chi Han went back to complete two orders. When he was preparing to take a bath and rest after receiving the final payments, he realized he hadn’t seen Rong Xu for two days.
And tomorrow was the weekend again; if he wanted to go to school, he would have to wait until Monday.
After some thought, Chi Han decided to pack up his books and go to Rong Xu’s house tomorrow. Anyway, Rong Xu would definitely open the door for him!
Then the next day, Chi Han experienced the consequences of not giving advance notice.
“Rong Xu went out? Where did he go?”
Chi Han stood at Rong Xu’s doorstep with a single shoulder bag, frowning slightly as he asked,
“Where could Rong Xu be going so early in the morning?”
The middle-aged man from the previous night replied impatiently, “How would I know where he went? Should he inform me every time he goes out?”
After saying this, the middle-aged man, the butler of Rong Xu’s family, Wang Yao, tried to close the door. Chi Han stepped forward, firmly holding the door to prevent it from closing, and spoke with a cold tone,
“Is it your job to do things like this for Rong Xu’s family? Which company do you work for?”
Wang Yao’s face stiffened, and he still yelled, “He doesn’t need my service, and he doesn’t allow me to touch him. How should I manage?”
Despite the commotion, Rong Xu didn’t come down, indicating that he was indeed not at home.
For some reason, the scene of Rong Xu being bullied by the Rong family members at the elevator entrance suddenly appeared in Chi Han’s mind. His heart became irritated at that moment.
Could Rong Xu have been taken away by the Rong family again?!
Thinking of this, Chi Han’s expression turned even colder. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Wang Yao and asked,
“Do you have Rong Xu’s phone number?”
Under the piercing gaze, Wang Yao’s whole body shivered. Swallowing hard, he said, “Yes, but Rong Xu might not have brought his phone.”
Chi Han pursed his lips and dialed the number. On the other end, the call was picked up after two rings.
“… Chi Han?”
A cold and clear voice of a young man came through, leaving Chi Han stunned.
How did Rong Xu know his phone number? He didn’t remember mentioning his number, did he?
Rong Xu manipulated his wheelchair to a deserted corner, his eyelashes drooping, shielding the blazing emotions deep within his eyes.
He had long obtained Chi Han’s phone number. During countless nights of leg pain, he had picked up his phone numerous times, wanting to make the call, but ultimately, his rationality restrained him.
The pain that he could endure before became exceptionally difficult to bear after discovering someone cared about him.
It seemed that exposure to light made people fragile, unable to endure even the slightest pain.
In the past, even when subjected to humiliation, his inner world remained undisturbed, with only escalating hatred swirling, lurking, until one day it would deliver a fatal blow.
But now, just a phone call turned his heart into a mess, with various emotions surging.
Finally, they converged, blending into a bittersweet sensation.
Rong Xu savored it delicately but found it sweet like nectar.
“Chi Han…”
“Rong Xu, where are you now? Did your father take you away again? I’ll come to find you!”
Both voices sounded simultaneously, but Rong Xu closed his mouth first. After listening to the long string of words, a faint smile gradually appeared in the depths of his eyes.
His heart now felt like it was immersed in a honey jar, sweet enough to make one want to drown in it.
“No, I’m not with Rong Xingwen.”
Upon hearing Rong Xu casually mention his father’s name as if he were a stranger, Chi Han couldn’t help but choke.
Indeed, he was the most lawless antagonist in the future business world. His way of speaking was truly distinctive!
Although Chi Han also disliked his own father, hearing Rong Xu address his by name felt a bit strange. However, considering the actions Rong Xu’s father had taken in the novel, Chi Han understood. Rong Xu calling his name was already a compliment!
This kind of trash doesn’t deserve to have a name!
After receiving the reassuring answer that Rong Xu hadn’t been bullied, Chi Han gradually calmed down. Since Rong Xu wasn’t at home, he decided to continue reading at home.
After a brief exchange, Chi Han hung up the phone and saved Rong Xu’s number. However, the letter ‘R’ was too far down the list, so Chi Han simply typed an ‘a’ to save it.
Rong Xu’s status instantly rose to the top.
Chi Han nodded in satisfaction, put away his phone, and headed home.
On the other side of S City, in the Twin Towers, Rong Xu looked at the ended call screen. His thumb gently stroked the words “Chi Han,” and the call duration showed five minutes.
“Master Rong? Are you done? There are still customers waiting for you inside.”
A man in a suit with glasses, coming from around the corner, approached the floor-to-ceiling window where Rong Xu was.
Outside the window, the sky was clear. One could see distant mountains rising with a single glance.
This was the Twin Towers, the highest building in S City, and this floor was the topmost.
Recently, a consultant with an extremely sharp eye came to the consultation room here, attracting many people seeking advice on business issues.
The most important rule for coming here was the confidentiality agreement.
Anyone coming here first had to sign a confidentiality contract and then undergo consultation under the gaze of three surveillance cameras.
This cautious approach basically eliminated any possibility of leakage and made the business even more prosperous.
After all… compared to verbal agreements, legal documents with legal effects were more reassuring.
Mr. Li had booked an appointment since last week, but Rong Xu, for some unknown reason, suddenly stopped coming. He would go to school early every day, only resuming work the day before yesterday.
The man pushed his glasses and silently criticized, wondering if Master Rong had gotten a girlfriend. He seemed so concerned; was he afraid someone would snatch it away?
The moment the man approached, Rong Xu’s eyes flashed with a smile. He moved aside, avoiding the extended hand, and went back on his own.
His expression was cold and ruthless.
The man: “…”
Wasn’t this change of attitude too fast?!
Where did the person who was just full of tenderness towards his phone go?!
Rong Xu held his phone, relaxing the corners of his lips. He thought he would bring the preserved meat with pickled vegetables to school on Monday; Chi Han liked it.
However, unexpectedly, on Monday, he didn’t wait for Chi Han. Instead, he received a notice that Chi Han had transferred to another class.
