This Is Not a Problem
Hearing Hao Yi’s question, Ding Xuan stood in front of Hao Yi like a child who had done something wrong. It took him a long time before he finally said, “I don’t want to go to Simin High School.”
“Why? Don’t you like studying?” After spending two months with him, Hao Yi knew Ding Xuan loved studying. It was said that before coming to Simin, his grades had been quite good, so he did not understand why Ding Xuan no longer wanted to go to school.
Ding Xuan turned his head and glanced to the side, then finally told him why he did not want to go to Simin: “They’ll bully me.”
It was not that he did not want to study, only that he did not want to study at Simin. Two months ago, he had gone back to Simin alone, only to be surrounded by a crowd. When one of them was about to hit him, Hao Yu had suddenly walked over. Hao Yu clearly had not come to save him. He had only said, “If you can’t bully my older brother, then you bully his wife? Are you serious? Didn’t you see this kid is as weak as a chick? Bullying him isn’t even satisfying!”
As soon as those people heard that, they all laughed. After kicking him once, they really did not do anything else to him. After that, he ran out of Simin and never went back again.
Hao Yi froze. He had not expected Ding Xuan’s real reason for not going to school to be this. Instantly, he felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think this through. Then… I’ll transfer you to another school.”
“Really? But wouldn’t that be a hassle? My school registration has already been transferred to Simin. I don’t know if it’ll be difficult to transfer out.” The moment Ding Xuan heard Hao Yi say he would transfer him, excitement rose in his heart.
“That’s not a problem. Think about which school you want to transfer to now. Also, you’ve fallen behind two months of classes. Will you be able to keep up?” Hao Yi was considering many things, but Ding Xuan waved it off and said, “That’s not a problem. I can catch up!”
Hao Yi nodded. “All right, then it’s settled. Tomorrow I’ll handle the registration transfer for you.”
He should be able to get help from his younger brother Hao Yu.
Hao Yi said this to himself.
After that, Ding Xuan also told Hao Yi that he had resigned. “Young Master, I just quit. I don’t know if they’ll come looking for trouble with us when they find out what happened in the private room.”
Hao Yi thought for a moment and said, “There will definitely be trouble, but that’s not a problem.”
As he said that, Hao Yi looked at Ding Xuan in front of him with great seriousness. “Xiaoxuan, no matter what happens in the future, you don’t have to be afraid. If you can’t solve it yourself, tell me, and we’ll think of a way together. We’ll definitely be able to handle it.”
Ding Xuan stared at Hao Yi with wide eyes, emotion surging in his heart. Since his parents left, no one had ever told him they would share with him the things he could not solve.
After his parents left and he ran into relatives who valued profit above all else, he began to learn independence. He handled everything by himself and never thought of sharing anything with anyone, much less leaning on anyone.
But now, the young master was telling him that he was not alone anymore. He could ask the young master to bear it with him, and he did not have to shoulder everything so hard by himself.
Nodding hard, Ding Xuan said, “Young Master, I’ll remember that!”
“Mm. Hungry? Want to go eat something together?”
“Okay! Young Master, today I’m treating you. Look, this is the salary I got today. More than a month, four thousand five hundred!” Ding Xuan pulled out his wallet and showed off the fruits of his labor to Hao Yi.
When Hao Yi saw it, he immediately thought of the five thousand yuan he had paid that minibus driver before. If Ding Xuan found out, he would probably die of heartache. That had been more than a month’s salary, all given away in one go. Of course it would hurt.
It was not as if they had no money on the card now. Ding Xuan was managing it, and he was so frugal that the money inside probably had not been touched much.
Still, thinking about his own cultivation, Hao Yi knew he was about to start spending money soon. He would need to buy large amounts of medicinal herbs to simmer into soup and aid his cultivation, hoping to break through to Qi Refining Stage Two.
As long as he broke through to Qi Refining Stage Two, he could refine the Flame Spirit Stone and make a storage ring.
Just as he was thinking about it, Hao Yi followed Ding Xuan to a street stall. Ding Xuan called out to him with excitement, “Young Master, come sit here quickly. Let me tell you, the food here is delicious!”
Hao Yi nodded, then walked over and sat beside Ding Xuan, watching as Ding Xuan skillfully ordered food from the boss.
“Young Master, I ordered beef brisket noodles for you.”
“That works.”
At that moment, a couple came to the table beside them. As soon as the woman sat down, she said angrily to the man, “Stop talking nonsense in front of Brother Qing in the future. He’s already really upset every day because of what’s going on with his mother.”
The man seemed to think he was rather innocent. He said, “How was I supposed to know his mother was sick like that…”
