Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 826: Not convinced? Kill him (46)

"Xue Xiaoqi, why aren't you asleep yet?" Tian Jie's voice seemed to be slowly squeezed out of his throat by an invisible force. It was low and slightly hoarse, mixed with a little roughness from the wind and snow, but it seemed to be intentional, making the voice sound unusually soft.

His head was still slightly raised, his gaze meeting hers directly, as if that was his only source of warmth on this cold winter night.

Xing Rong's eyes were as gentle as spring water. She raised her hand and gently stroked Tian Jie's cold cheek, saying softly, "Of course I'm waiting for you to come back! After all, it's still the New Year, and I don't want you to see a dark and cold home when you come back."

Tian Jie's pupils looked even darker in the darkness, just like the endless night sky. He was not her biological brother, but in this deep cold winter night, she was so stubborn to light a bright lamp for him.

This light, without any warning, illuminated a corner of his heart that he had never shown to anyone, and at the same time ignited a dangerous warmth that should not have grown. At two o'clock in the morning when everything was silent, it burned brightly.

……

On the morning of the first day of school, the champagne-gold morning light gently caressed the meticulously trimmed lawns on campus. In front of the huge cast-iron carved school gate, a luxurious motorcade had already lined up, with Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and extended black sedans entering one after another and sliding silently to a stop on the driveway paved with fine white stones.

The car doors opened one after another, revealing young boys and girls wearing brand new, straight, and neatly ironed navy blue double-breasted school uniforms, snow-white shirts, neatly tied ties or silk bow ties, and shiny calfskin shoes stepping on the smooth floor.

Xing Rong stared at the school gate not far away through the car window, as if time had gone back to the first day she came to school. The only difference was that this time there was another person beside her.

Xing Rong's sight slowly shifted, and finally landed on Tian Jie. At this moment, Zheng Hu was about to come over to carry her out of the car, but Tian Jie came to her first like a gust of wind.

Zheng Hu stood aside, watching Tian Jie, who was less than 1 meters tall, hugging Xue Xiaoqi, who was taller than him. He couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he still kept a serious expression on his face.

Tian Jie was very considerate. He carefully smoothed the wrinkles on Xing Rong's clothes, and then gently covered her with a blanket to ensure that she would not catch a cold. After doing all this, Tian Jie raised his head and said to Zheng Hu, "Uncle Zheng, I will take care of my sister from now on."

Zheng Hu nodded in agreement. Then, he made a rare joke, "You should grow taller first, otherwise Miss Xue will look like a giant."

Hearing this, Xing Rong's face suddenly blossomed like a flower, revealing a brilliant smile, "Uncle Zheng, are you teasing him, or are you saying I'm fat?"

Zheng Hu touched his nose and said nothing.

Xing Rong stopped teasing him. She knew that Zheng Hu was usually a very serious person, but he was joking today. It seemed that he had been well trained by Ming Xi.

Although it was just a joke, Tian Jie believed it to be true. His face instantly became solemn, he lowered his head, stared at Xing Rong's head, and various thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

Xing Rong suddenly felt a strong gaze falling on her head. She even felt that Tian Jie's gaze was about to burn a hole in her hair.

She touched her hair uncomfortably, then raised her head, smiled helplessly, and said to Tian Jie: "Xiaotian, don't take it so seriously, Uncle Zheng was just joking. You are only 13 years old and still growing. You will definitely grow taller in the future. And don't forget, I am a medical student. I have many ways to help you grow taller!"

After hearing Xing Rong's words, Tian Jie's expression eased a little. He nodded, as if accepting Xing Rong's explanation. Then, he listened to Zheng Hu's brief explanation before pushing Xing Rong towards the school.

Not long after entering the school, a vibrant and happy voice suddenly came from behind: "Xiao Qi!" Before Xing Rong had time to turn around to look, Zhou Silin had already trotted to her.

Xing Rong smiled happily and said to Zhou Silin: "Sister, good morning!"

At this time, Zhong Fanle, who was following Zhou Silin, also walked up to Xing Rong. He was wearing the same school uniform and had a gentlemanly smile on his face. He said to Xing Rong, "Ms. Xue, good morning."
