Chapter 126: Bonus Chapter
With Lu Huai eagerly staring at Xueyan like this, if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging long ago.
Xueyan subconsciously wanted to go play with his fourth brother, but he raised his head to look at his papa who hadn’t spoken.
“…”
Old Dad Lu Ting’s expression was extremely subtle.
Day in and day out, you don’t attend classes, just playing around in school, right!? After the family donated so much sponsorship money back then, what exactly is this kid Old Fourth doing?
But watching his sweet cub’s clearly tempted appearance, Lu Ting could only ultimately watch in silence as Old Fourth tentatively reached out and hoisted the sweet cub onto his shoulder in the next second.
Lu Ting tried to silently warn Old Fourth with his eyes:
Don’t force me to slap you during this happiest moment.
However, Lu Huai had already flown away with happiness, completely ignoring his dad’s gaze. Carrying Xueyan, he spun around while asking:
“Yoo-hoo, going to play with Brother, happy or not, mm? Riding on Brother’s neck, happy or not?”
The faster he spun, the more nervous and scared Xueyan became, hugging tightly. The soft little ball just stuck to his brother’s head and shoulders like this, but couldn’t help smiling happily.
“Happy!”
The milky-white hair by his ears flew up.
Lu Huai just looked up at the pretty Xueyan riding on his shoulders, his heart uncontrollably filled to the brim with happiness, the corners of his mouth taking off on the spot.
Along the way, countless students looked over, many of whom clearly recognized Lu Huai.
After being startled one after another, their gazes involuntarily fell on the cub on Lu Huai’s shoulder, feeling both amazed and uncertain at the same time.
Isn’t Lu Huai the leading school bully Alpha among those far-and-wide famous second-generation rich kids in Class One?
It’s said that these second-generation kids, whose families smashed heavy gold sponsorships to get them into First High School back then, relied on their Alpha physique advantage and superior family backgrounds to not study well, and their personalities also each had their own vile aspects.
Some top students from poorer backgrounds would subconsciously walk slower to avoid bumping into them whenever they saw Lu Huai carrying his schoolbag and surrounded by several lackeys walking on the way home from school from a distance.
“Could he have snatched a child to school?”
Some girls began to guess with horrified faces.
After all, that little friend is truly so pretty. His hair is even an extremely rare milky-white. The way his hair flew backlit in the sunlight simply looked like a piece of sparkling crystal.
“Probably not, if he snatched him, wouldn’t the cub cry and make a fuss? But right now, it looks like… Lu Huai is coaxing him quite skillfully.”
The girl beside her spoke this sentence with increasing hesitation.
That school bully Alpha Lu Huai from Class One is very skillfully coaxing a cub?
This character setting is collapsing, right! Suddenly turning into the gentle and warm second male lead in a campus drama?
“Shh… it looks like the parent is chasing after them from behind!”
Just as the girl opposite was about to continue speaking, she was grabbed by the arm by her best friend, avoiding the even more dangerously aura-ed Lu Ting’s group.
“Old Fourth— You brat try running this fast again!”
And Lu Ting’s expression grew increasingly gloomy along the way, especially when seeing Lu Huai actually start sprinting upstairs without slowing down in the slightest. He wished he could take off his hindering coat and rush over to catch Old Fourth.
Running this fast, what if the wind blows the sweet cub and he catches a cold? That little scarf on his neck has fallen off halfway, and he doesn’t even know to retie it!
Lu Li uncharacteristically sighed and silently pulled back his dad, who was about to fly into a rage:
“…Forget it, Dad, this is a rare occasion for him too.”
To some extent, Lu Li actually felt he could quite understand Lu Huai’s mood.
Because back when he discovered Xueyan had actually come down from the stage to listen to his concert, he actually had the same impulse.
That was, he really wanted to directly hug Xueyan up from his eldest brother’s arms offstage and show him off fiercely in front of the cameras of the entire venue. Especially when seeing the amazed gazes of the people around, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratification and pride.
This is the sweet cub carefully raised by the family up to now, unique in the whole world.
“Besides, this is still school, Old Fourth probably still cares about his face somewhat.”
Lu Li added.
Lu Ting forcibly suppressed his anger, deciding to save some face for Old Fourth inside the school. As for what would happen when they got home, that would be another story.
When Lu Huai carrying Xueyan on his shoulders finally appeared haughtily at the classroom door, after three seconds of silence, the whole class cheered collectively:
“Heavens, Brother Huai really brought Xueyan over!?”
“Everyone—Although there is no Xueyan in Brother Huai’s schoolbag today, a Xueyan has grown out of Brother Huai’s shoulder! Let us applaud and celebrate this great moment!”
Wei Zhili, who always liked to act the fool and liven up the atmosphere, took the lead in slamming the desk to celebrate.
In response to this, the class monitor Liu Han, who on ordinary days would absolutely be the first to stand out and sternly stop this group of Alpha bros of Lu Huai from unscrupulously disrupting class order, actually hesitated for a moment and uncharacteristically didn’t say anything.
The next period is PE class. If the PE teacher hasn’t come, maybe just let Lu Huai and the others have some free activity time first?
Otherwise, Liu Han suspected that if she stepped forward to remind them at this time, her few good friends in the class would think her personality was too pedantic.
And Xueyan, lying behind his brother’s head, instantly blushed, absolutely not expecting his brother to just carry him into the class like this, locking eyes with everyone.
The most crucial point was, there wasn’t even any room to hide.
“Brother… I want to get down and stand by myself.”
Xueyan, whose ears instantly turned red, requested softly.
“Hehe, sit in Brother’s seat. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Come, come, come, Brother will go snatch some more… ah no, hunt some delicious and fun things back for you.”
Lu Huai’s attitude was natural, as if he had returned to his base camp. He swaggered over and put his precious younger brother in his own king’s seat by the window in the back row.
He turned around and went to his familiar bros to scavenge everywhere.
And sitting just like this in a high school seat, the somewhat short and tiny Xueyan looked like a little red panda, quite shyly and nervously locking eyes with the older brothers and sisters around him.
The few classmates sitting around Lu Huai’s seat in the whole class were almost dying of happiness, feeling that Little Pear was truly a thousand times prettier than online.
Does this face really have even a tiny bit of flaw?
His eyes are even big enough to look like they were painted on, and those curly and upturned eyelashes are simply longer than everyone’s lifespan!
In short, it was truly too strange. How could a devil like Lu Huai possibly have such a little angel younger brother?
Is there really not some problem here? Taking a step back, could it be that Lu Huai carried the wrong younger brother back then!
Xueyan, feeling shy from everyone’s stares, subconsciously wanted to hide behind the belly of his brother’s desk, but accidentally knocked off a few sheets of his brother’s homework paper.
Lu Huai’s desk was also a mess of exercise books, test papers, and textbooks. Even since that highlight incident at Lu Li’s concert, there were a few more small mirrors friendly sponsored by the girls in the class.
At this moment, as Xueyan accidentally pinched a corner, everything exploded like dominoes.
This made the cub stare blankly at his brother’s desk, feeling like it was a cosmic black hole.
How could so many things fall out?
“It’s okay, it’s okay, baby. Were you scared? Just pick them up and it’s fine, it’s okay.”
The girls nearby were also startled and hurriedly comforted him.
Xueyan pursed his lips and shook his head, indicating he wasn’t scared. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] He then followed the older sisters and brothers to sequentially pick up his fourth brother’s things that had fallen on the ground, and sort and organize them again.
For example, books should be placed with books, and papers should be placed with papers. In this aspect, Xueyan still had a bit of OCD.
He felt his brother’s desk was truly so messy, even messier than a kindergarten little friend’s desk! Louis would tidy up Louis’s things by himself.
“This?”
Until Xueyan, who had been busy with everyone for a long time, bent down to pick up the last sheet of grid paper from the floor, discovering words written by his brother on it.
Relying on the kindergarten curriculum and the knowledge he crammed with System 444, Xueyan quickly found he could recognize the three flamboyant, large characters at the very top.
“Self-criticism… Book?”
This name is a book, but it is just a thin piece of paper.
Xueyan was instantly a bit troubled about where to classify this piece of paper for his brother.
The surrounding classmates watched helplessly as Lu Huai’s dark history was casually picked up by Little Pear like this. They didn’t dare to make a sound, and wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh either.
Because this self-criticism of Lu Huai’s, speaking of which, also had some connection with Xueyan.
Back when Lu Huai discovered he had become a “left-behind child,” he directly skipped class on Friday and rushed to the airport to book a ticket and fly to the other side of the ocean to “relax.” After scaring his homeroom teacher half to death, he was ordered to write a self-criticism to explain exactly where he was wrong.
It was just that Lu Huai was jealous at the time that some big stars could run around all over the world with infinite glory, while a pitiful high school student actually had to write a self-criticism after coming back from a trip abroad, so he simply didn’t write it properly.
Shen Huimin didn’t really expect this second-generation kid Lu Huai to obediently reflect either, so over time it was shelved, not expecting it to be dug out by Xueyan.
Xueyan wanted to discern whether this was exactly a book or a test paper, so he opened his eyes wide and stared carefully.
“Baby, do you know how to read? Do you want us to help read it out loud…”
Seeing this appearance, the surrounding classmates’ hearts all softened, wishing they could enthusiastically volunteer to help Xueyan read it out.
Until Lu Huai, holding a large pile of imported snacks and fruits, returned majestically and discovered Xueyan was looking at something.
Wei Zhili and the others around him were still desperately holding back laughter as they read along.
“‘I was wrong. My fault lies in not being able to constantly accompany Xueyan’s growth in my capacity as Xueyan’s fourth brother’?”
Wei Zhili laughed until his stomach hurt as he read.
“‘It is the school’s exam-oriented education system that caused an older brother, who most should accompany the cub during his critical growth period, to be forcibly locked in the cage of exam-oriented education…'”
“What is exam-oriented education?”
Xueyan looked up at Brother Wei Zhili and tentatively asked softly, because he was the little friend with the lowest educational background present.
He felt there were many words he couldn’t understand in his brother’s “Self-Criticism Book.”
If only Song Zhiang were here. Song Zhiang would definitely be like an encyclopedia, telling me the explanation inside.
Wei Zhili’s heart trembled at the cuteness of the little guy’s soft tone. He just grinned and was about to answer the question when a fist firmly smashed onto his head.
“Ouch—”
Wei Zhili let out a tragic cry as the self-criticism in his hand was directly snatched away by a red-faced Lu Huai.
“What are you guys reading to my brother—!??”
This group of guys is clearly jealous of my perfect brother image, actually daring to use such insidious methods while I wasn’t around.
“We are reading the book Brother wrote, saying Brother is a writer!”
Xueyan actually looked with sympathy and nervousness at Wei Zhili being hit by his brother, and hurriedly reached out to hug his brother.
Lu Huai, having his thigh hugged by Xueyan, only then stopped his actions, watching indignantly as Wei Zhili ran away while laughing.
“Writer? Heh, that’s right, I, your brother, am just a writer!”
Lu Huai absolutely didn’t expect that a self-criticism could also be called a book. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Then a great man of letters who could write books could naturally also be called a writer.
The circle of classmates around them watched this scene, holding back their laughter in extreme agony, discovering that Lu Huai actually really had a weak spot.
And this weak spot was Xueyan.
In front of Xueyan, this guy Lu Huai completely had another face, becoming particularly caring about reputation and face.
Class Monitor Liu Han also walked over and placed Lu Huai’s pile of things on the desk:
“Next time you tidy up a bit more, and Xueyan won’t almost be hit by these things of yours.”
Every time the civilized class points were evaluated, Liu Han had to be nervous about whether Lu Huai and this group of bros dropped any paper balls on the floor causing points to be deducted.
“Oh… okay Class Monitor, I know I was wrong. I guarantee not to next time.”
With Xueyan present, Lu Huai naturally obediently scratched his hair.
The tall and sturdy Alpha lowering his head to humbly admit his mistake actually made Liu Han speechless for a moment.
This guy’s attitude when admitting a mistake is actually quite proper?
Just as Liu Han was about to say something to resolve the awkwardness of the atmosphere, she found Xueyan keeping his head up, staring at her.
This made many girls around extremely envious, not knowing what about Class Monitor Liu Han attracted Xueyan. After all, Liu Han usually never dressed up and her clothing was also very plain.
Actually, the reason Xueyan stared at Liu Han was partly because Teacher System 444 said Class Monitor Liu Han was a very crucial character in the later plot, and on the other hand, it was because Xueyan discovered the reason this class monitor sister of his brother’s always covered the corners of her mouth every time she smiled, was actually because this sister had sparkling things on her teeth.
“Sister, the necklace on your teeth is so pretty.”
Xueyan couldn’t help but praise softly.
Liu Han, instantly blushing and covering her mouth: !
Everyone also instantly looked at the class monitor, a necklace on the teeth?
Wait, he couldn’t be talking about the braces the class monitor went to get a while ago, right?
Back then, because her father, who was a grassroots police officer, had a personality that was too upright and a job that was poorly paid, Liu Han missed the best period to correct her teeth. Therefore, it wasn’t until high school that she went to get her teeth fixed.
This was also the reason why the already quiet Liu Han smiled less showing her teeth, because once she spoke, people would see the braces.
Adolescent girls are right at the age of yearning for beauty, and the braces on her teeth were undoubtedly a bit out of place.
Especially the few girls in the class whose family conditions were similar to Lu Huai’s and the others, who almost lived a prosperous life completely different from Liu Han’s. They would even less understand how someone in the world actually had to save money to see a dentist.
“Is it very pretty? But this actually isn’t a necklace, just braces.”
It wasn’t until this moment, being praised with an amazed tone by Xueyan, that Liu Han explained softly.
“Mm, very pretty, Sister.”
Xueyan, with his eyes curved into crescents, already stood in front of the sister, looked up, and earnestly affirmed it again. Even though it could be called a complimentary remark, the feeling of it coming from Xueyan’s mouth just inexplicably softened people’s hearts.
Lu Huai watched this scene, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his heart:
That is, in the area of interpersonal communication, I seem to have been completely crushed by Xueyan?
Even the entire class’s recognized class monitor Liu Han, such an old-fashioned pedant, actually smiled in front of Xueyan!
