"Hmm, my elders passed away, so I didn't want to stay there anymore. I just wanted to be with my family, so I applied to come back. I'm in the same school as you now, a senior. Jiang Mianmian, we live in the same neighborhood, so we can go to school and come back together from now on," Jiang Tianci said.
"Really? But our schedules might not match, and waiting around isn't convenient," Mianmian didn't think going to school together was a good idea, nor did she often take the bus.
"It's okay, if we happen to run into each other, we can go to school together," Jiang Tianci said with a smile, completely unfazed by Mianmian's refusal.
Qian Xiaoguo was about to faint. She felt that Senior Jiang was truly a gentleman, so much better than that school bully. The senior was handsome and refined, while that Yun Buji, though a bit more handsome than the senior, was too roguish and always made people feel scared.
"I think it's a good idea! Why don't we go home together after school from now on? We take the same bus, I just get off two stops before you," Qian Xiaoguo suggested with a smile.
"That's a great suggestion. I can help you carry your schoolbags," Jiang Tianci responded with a smile.
Mianmian felt it didn't matter. If Xiaoguo liked it, then let's go together. After all, they were classmates.
After Qian Xiaoguo got off, there were fewer people on the bus. Mianmian and Jiang Tianci lived in the same upscale residential area. There weren't many people left on the bus, so Mianmian found a seat. Jiang Tianci sat behind her.
When they got off the bus, Jiang Tianci voluntarily took Mianmian's schoolbag. "Your schoolbag is too heavy. Carrying it all the time can cause spinal curvature. I'll carry it for you; I have the strength."
"Then thank you, Senior," Mianmian followed him off the bus. When they reached her building, Jiang Tianci returned her schoolbag. After saying goodbye, Mianmian went inside to wait for the elevator home.
Jiang Tianci watched her enter the elevator before leaving.
When Mianmian arrived home, only the maids were there. She immediately called Jiang Jingxiu. The call was answered quickly. "Dad, I'm home. Where are you?"
"I have something to do tonight and can't come home. You behave yourself and do your homework at home. I'll have the driver take you to school tomorrow," Jiang Jingxiu said.
Mianmian: "..."
"Dad, is there something you're hiding from me?"
"No, what could I be hiding from you? Be good. Dad will be home in a couple of days." Jiang Jingxiu's wound hadn't healed yet, and moving around could cause bleeding, so he could only lie in bed.
"I want to video call. I want to see what you're actually doing!" Mianmian could be quite difficult when she was stubborn, and Jiang Jingxiu was also very afraid of his daughter.
"Okay, okay, video call, video call." Jiang Jingxiu immediately got out of bed and went into the bathroom, as it was the hardest place to see through.
After the father and daughter video called for over ten minutes, Mianmian finally agreed to stop. After she put down her phone, the maid called her down for dinner. After eating, she went back to her room to do her homework.
Mianmian was in the middle of her English homework when Qian Xiaoguo's video call came through. Mianmian answered and heard Qian Xiaoguo's excited voice on the other end, "Big news, big news! Senior Jiang is now competing with Yun Buji for the school heartthrob title. The forum is going crazy. Some people support Senior Jiang, and some support Yun Buji. They're arguing fiercely. Mianmian, hurry up and go watch!"
"No time, I'm doing homework." Mianmian found this kind of thing very boring. It had nothing to do with her who the school heartthrob was.
