Anning didn’t have a great day at school. Besides talking a few words with her good friend Song Zhenzhen, other classmates hardly paid attention to her. She was likely being ostracized by the classmates. Anning looked at Wei Haoxuan and understood in her heart that all of this must have been done by Wei Haoxuan. It was probably because Yu Anjing said something to Wei Haoxuan, and Wei Haoxuan wanted to take out his anger for Yu Anjing, so he found a way to make the classmates alienate Anning. Anning didn’t care too much. She was busy studying. In a few days, there would be mid-term exams, and this time it was a citywide joint exam. Anning wanted to win a scholarship, so naturally, she had to fully prepare. Anning’s day was far from peaceful; not only was she isolated, but the girls in the class also gave her all kinds of small, targeted gestures. Although it didn’t cause any harm, it was annoying and it never stopped. Anning quietly endured it, and when Wei Haoxuan looked at her, she wanted to say something but stopped, her eyes clearly filled with sadness and heartache. Wei Haoxuan looked at Anning several times and couldn’t stand her gaze anymore. He clenched his fists, silently admonishing himself not to be soft-hearted. He did all this for Yu Anjing, who had encouraged and almost saved him several times. He had once sworn that if he found the girl who helped him, he would repay her many times over, and now that he has found her, he naturally wanted to help Yu Anjing. Anjing was so kind, and if he didn’t help, who knows how Anning might bully her. Anning did not go to the cafeteria to get food at noon. She brought some food and after hastily eating some snacks and drinking some milk, she took her ID card to a bank outside the school. After getting the bank card, she returned to school just in time for class. Song Zhenzhen approached and asked Anning, "Didn’t you eat?" Anning whispered, "I had to go out for a bit." Song Zhenzhen handed over a meat pie: "It’s still warm, eat quickly." Anning took a bite of the meat pie, it was from her favorite beef pie shop. She took another bite, and while eating the still warm beef pie, Anning smiled cheerfully. Seeing Anning eating hastily, Song Zhenzhen opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her: "Slow down, don’t choke." Anning swallowed a mouthful of pie: "Got it, Grandma Zhenzhen." Song Zhenzhen puffed up: "Am I that old?" Anning smiled, and after she finished the pie, Song Zhenzhen quietly said, "What did you do to offend Wei Haoxuan? Why is he making everyone ignore you?" Anning shook her head: "I don’t know." Song Zhenzhen said angrily, "He’s still supposed to be a top student, yet he’s pettier than a pinhead. I used to think he was okay, but I won’t like him anymore from now on." Anning couldn’t help but laugh. After school, Anning and Song Zhenzhen left the school together. She watched Song Zhenzhen ride her bike home before she headed towards the electronic town with her backpack. Anning didn’t bring her original computer, which was left at the Yu family home. Now, wanting to earn money, she must buy a computer. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang had left some money in the bank card she gave her; otherwise, Anning would have to find a way to make some quick money. Anning didn’t make it to the electronic town, as she was stopped halfway there. The man stopping her was clearly an elite male, obviously a high-level employee of a big company. Anning sized up the elite man, her eyes filled with caution: "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" The elite man showed a professional smile: "I heard Miss Yu is short of money these days, my employer would like to hire Miss Yu for a job..." Anning hugged her backpack to her chest: "I don’t want to." A black car slowly drove up to Anning’s side and stopped, the car window slid down, revealing a clear-cut face. Anning’s pupils shrank slightly when she saw the face, then she became defensive again. "What do you want to do? Are you going to kidnap me? I have no money..." The person sitting in the car smiled, "We mean no harm, we just need your help." He spoke and then got out of the car. This man was tall yet somewhat lean. He wore a black suit and his hair was neatly combed, displaying a face that was so handsome it was captivating and irresistibly charming. "I am Xiao Yuan, may I invite Miss Yu for a meal?" Anning stepped back a few steps: "But, I, I need to buy a computer." Xiao Yuan looked at the professional-looking man: "Secretary He, go help Miss Yu buy a computer." The professional man smiled at Anning, "What kind of computer would Miss Yu like to buy?" Anning casually mentioned a brand: "I don’t really understand, you decide." Secretary He smiled and agreed. Xiao Yuan took Anning to a nearby hotel, he didn’t ask for a private room, fearing Anning might feel scared, and chose a seat in the lobby instead. Anning indeed sighed in relief. "What do you need from me?" Anning sat down and was the first to ask Xiao Yuan, taking a good look at him: "Mr. Xiao, do you have some kind of illness?" Her question was genuinely curious and not meant as sarcasm. Although Xiao Yuan was quite lean too, his tall stature and long arms and legs made him look awkward and cramped as he sat down, his long legs seemingly with nowhere to rest, and he clearly felt a bit miserable. However, he wasn’t focused on how he was sitting. He was sizing up Anning: "Why do you ask?" Anning blinked: "Mr. Xiao is too thin, almost sickly thin, and with very severe dark circles under his eyes, it seems like you have long-term sleep issues. What could be causing Mr. Xiao to have such long-term poor sleep? It must be some kind of illness." Her analysis was pretty accurate. Xiao Yuan’s mouth twitched into a smile, softening his usually distant and cold demeanor. "Miss Yu has a good observation skill, indeed, I do have some illness, and Miss Yu is just the medicine I need." Was this person flirting with her? Anning tilted her head and sized up Xiao Yuan again: "Mr. Xiao, I’m only sixteen." Xiao Yuan found it very amusing, he laughed heartily for the first time in days: "Miss Yu, have you sung on the street before?" Xiao Yuan explained: "Someone recorded a video, and I happened to see that video. I found that listening to Miss Yu’s singing makes it easy to fall asleep." Anning relaxed, smiling with crescent eyes: "That’s easy, Mr. Xiao, if you need, I can record more songs for you." Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 Xiao Yuan called the waiter over and let Anning order the food. Anning ordered some dishes casually, and Xiao Yuan added two more. "Miss Yu’s singing has a healing effect on me, but listening to recordings is somewhat lacking. I’d like to ask Miss Yu to be my healer for a while, singing a few songs for me after school every day at my place. If Miss Yu is worried, you can bring friends along, or even have your family accompany you, would that be okay?" Anning pondered for a moment: "How long would this be for?"
