Chaptеr 15: If Yоu Want to Sеe, I Cаn Sеnd Yоu Рhоtоs
Natiоnаl Dаy аrrived quiсkly. Sincе Lin’s mоther livеd abrоаd уeаr-rоund, she wаntеd hеr dаughtеr tо tаke аdvantаgе of this holiday tо cоme sреnd а fеw days with hеr.
After сhеmistrу сlass еnded, thе schoоl, undеrstаnding еvеryоne’s eagеrnеss fоr thе brеak, let out hаlf аn hоur eаrlier thаn usual.
Thе hоmеrоom teасher cаme in to givе а fеw rеminders аbоut staying safe during the holidaу befоrе lеаving. In thе neхt second, thе clаssroоm emрtied out almost instantly.
Lin Kuizhi spent a while joking around with Yue Xin and Ji Yan, waving goodbye to them before finally starting to pack her things slowly.
Uncle Liu’s car was parked right at the school gate. She planned to try driving herself to the airport.
Chi Yu, expression indifferent, took the things from her hands and helped her pack her bag, neatly sorting and clipping together the worksheets she needed to do, tightening the water bottle cap before placing it inside.
“Chi Yuyu, are you going to miss me?”
The girl tilted her head slightly, poking his arm, her clear, beautiful eyes blinking.
The boy glanced at her, gathering her scattered pens and putting them into the pencil case, his slender, pale hand waving in front of her eyes.
He hadn’t yet sorted out his own feelings, unsure how to treat Lin Kuizhi, and hadn’t expected her to leave for a few days first.
Seeing him ignore her, the girl muttered quietly to herself.
What a cold-blooded creature, so emotionless.
He looked at her, amused. “Talking about me?”
Lin Kuizhi’s eyes darted around guiltily as she took the backpack. “No way! I’m leaving now. See you in seven days!”
“Wait.” Chi Yu grabbed her wrist. “Let me take you to the airport.”
The girl waved her hand. “No need. Go pick up your little sister and let her rest.”
Seeing him still insisting, she shook his arm playfully.
“Really, it’s fine. Hurry and go pick up Miao Miao with Uncle Liu.”
He reluctantly let go. “Drive safely.”
“Got it. Bye, and make sure to miss me!”
Watching the girl’s cheerful figure as she left, Chi Yu’s expression darkened.
She talks so sweetly, but leaves so decisively.
As if she couldn’t wait to get away from him.
Heartless little thing.
At the kindergarten entrance, Chi Yu waited while checking his phone, the screen lingering on his chat interface with Lin Kuizhi.
Not a single message.
Frowning, he put his phone back in his pocket, hands in his pockets, clearly displeased.
“Young Master Chi, you’re here,” a middle-aged man said upon seeing him, bowing and scraping as he approached.
Chi Yu didn’t recognize this person and looked at him with curiosity.
The man invited him into the principal’s office. “Young Master Chi, please have a seat.”
He remained silent for a moment, genuinely confused.
“Principal Lin, if there’s something, just say it directly.”
The man chuckled awkwardly. “Well, it’s like this. I have a relative whose son just graduated…”
Chi Yu frowned and interrupted him. “I’m just a student. Talking to me about this kind of thing seems pointless.”
The man’s eyes widened, disagreeing. “How could that be? Miss Lin, she…”
“Miss Lin only helped me that one time because she couldn’t stand seeing me treated unfairly as a friend.” Impatience flickered in his eyes. So this person wanted to use him to get close to Lin Kuizhi.
Principal Lin’s expression also turned unpleasant. This kid—it would just be a word from him, yet he’s being so uncooperative.
Could it be that he wants something in return?
He looked Chi Yu up and down disdainfully. With the Lin family’s wealth, could they possibly treat him poorly?
But with this aloof and arrogant personality, even he wouldn’t like it. Wouldn’t it be better to spend some money and keep a well-behaved, obedient little male pet? Why put up with this attitude?
Thinking this, his words became even more servile. “Young Master Chi, you must be joking. Your younger sister…”Leaving the office, Chi Yu held Chi Miaomiao’s hand as they walked along the road.
He had just told Uncle Liu that he wanted to take a walk with his sister, so he asked Uncle Liu to go back first.
Now it was just the two siblings. He lowered his gaze, not saying a word.
The overly long silence became unbearable even for Chi Miaomiao, so she gently tugged at Chi Yu’s hand.
“Brother, are you in a bad mood?”
He looked at Chi Miaomiao, forcing a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. “No, not at all.”
“Your smile looks awful,” Chi Miaomiao said without mercy.
Chi Yu: …
“Are you missing Sister Lin?”
The little girl with braided pigtails tilted her head and looked at him. When she saw only her brother at the door, she had looked everywhere for that pretty older sister. It was her brother who told her that the sister had gone abroad.
“Brother, you’re so grumpy every day. No wonder Sister Lin went abroad and left you behind.”
“You little brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I won’t give you dinner tonight.”
The young man pretended to knock on her head, and Chi Miaomiao immediately closed her mouth obediently.
Back at the Lin family home, after dinner, he sat at the desk to work on his test papers, but he couldn’t focus on a single word, unable to calm his mind.
He took out his phone and opened the chat interface, wanting to say something, but then remembered she was probably still on the plane, so he put the phone down again.
He leaned back weakly in his chair, tilting his head backward, his cold, pale arm with bulging veins resting across his eyes.
What should he do about Lin Kuizhi?
On the plane, Lin Kuizhi slept all the way to her destination.
When she turned on her phone, she saw the group chat named 【No Chi Yu】 with three members. There were eighteen photos of men with abs sent by Yue Xin and three public account articles forwarded by Ji Yan about how cold and violent Scorpio men should not be befriended.
Scrolling down, she saw reminders about holiday homework in the class group chat.
There wasn’t a single message from the WeChat contact labeled “Big Villain.”
Lin Kuizhi was quite displeased. Without hesitation, she selected the article Ji Yan had shared in the group and forwarded it to him.
One minute passed—no response.
Ten minutes passed—still no response.
Now Lin Kuizhi was truly angry. She decided she wouldn’t pay any attention to Chi Yu for the next seven days!
“Sweetheart!”
Not far away, a man and a woman were waving at her.
The woman wore sunglasses and exuded an extraordinary aura from head to toe. Beside her was a man with golden hair, looking to be in his twenties, like a cute and gentle young man.
The original host’s mother really lived a comfortable life, Lin Kuizhi thought with envy.
Mrs. Lin gave her a warm hug, then took her hand and led her to a lavish meal, completely sparing Lin Kuizhi the struggle of how to naturally call her “Mom.”
At the restaurant, Mrs. Lin and the gentle young man were sweet and affectionate, while Lin Kuizhi sat alone.
“Sweetie, what about that male classmate you used to bully every day? Didn’t he come with you?”
Lin Kuizhi looked shocked.
“What, haven’t you tamed him yet? Listen to your mom, wouldn’t it be better to pick a well-behaved one here?”
Lin Kuizhi looked even more shocked.
“No, Mom, I…” Lin Kuizhi struggled to find the right words. “I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have bullied others so casually.”
Now it was Mrs. Lin’s turn to look shocked, her hand holding the knife and fork trembling. “Sweetie, what… what’s wrong with you?”
The gentle young man beside her whispered something with a smile, and Mrs. Lin suddenly understood.
“So that’s it. Hit them first, then give them a sweet treat. Truly my daughter.”
Lin Kuizhi: …
Taking advantage of the National Day holiday, Chi Yu went out to work a part-time job. He was busy all day long, with no chance to even check his phone, let alone reply to messages.
After finishing work, the first thing he did was check whether the young lady had sent him any messages.As soon as he opened it, he saw a collection of photos of male abs and articles about emotionally distant Scorpio men.
Chi Yu’s face darkened again and again.
【Delete the photos of abs.】
No reply.
【If you want to see, I can take pictures for you.】
