Chapter 22: You've Grown Up

Ding Ran pointed at Fang Yu, opened her mouth, but couldn't call out his name.Fang Yu felt familiar to her, but she couldn't remember his name."Have we met somewhere before?" Ding Ran asked."I don't think so," Fang Yu said."Oh..." Ding Ran tapped her head, frowned, still trying to figure out the strange sense of familiarity in her mind.Seeing Ding Ran like this, Fang Yu knew that the hypnosis he used on her had worked."Teacher, you should stand up first," Fang Yu reminded her.At this moment, Ding Ran was still sitting with her legs crossed, which was quite unsightly.Ding Ran snapped back to reality, noticed her sitting posture, her face turning red, and quickly stood up."Classmate, I really feel like I've seen you somewhere, and something happened...," Ding Ran stood up and continued to ponder.She knew something had happened, but she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried, and it felt very uncomfortable."Teacher, I have to go to class, so I'll be leaving," Fang Yu said."Okay...maybe I mistook you for someone else," Ding Ran finally gave up, unable to recall.Fang Yu glanced at her and walked towards the classroom.Unless Ding Ran spent the whole day trying to recall, she wouldn't be able to remember what had happened that day.Of course, even if Ding Ran did remember, it wouldn't be a big deal.Back in the classroom, Fang Yu heard that He Donglin and Hu Tao had been discharged from the hospital and came to the school to transfer.The students in the class looked at Fang Yu with awe in their eyes.Before this, He Donglin was an arrogant presence in Class 2 of Grade 3, and no one dared to provoke him.But Fang Yu not only beat He Donglin severely, but also forced him to leave Jianghai Middle School!Fang Yu was the true arrogant one.But for Fang Yu, hearing this news was not surprising.After all, he had dealt with He Wencheng, so He Donglin would not have the courage to stay in school.At noon, after school, Tang Xiaorou and Zhao Shuang'er went to the cafeteria together."Shuang'er, I saw you getting into Yang Xu's car yesterday afternoon," Tang Xiaorou hesitated for a while before speaking up.Zhao Shuang'er stopped in her tracks, looked at Tang Xiaorou with a smile, and said, "Xiaorou, are you feeling jealous?""Jealous? Why would I be jealous? I just don't want you to get too close to Yang Xu...he's really not a good person," Tang Xiaorou furrowed her brows and said."You don't have to be jealous. You don't like Yang Xu, but I really like him, and I've liked him for over two years now," Zhao Shuang'er said.Tang Xiaorou was stunned. Zhao Shuang'er had never told her about this before."He had been pursuing you all this time, so I never told you that I liked him. But now, Yang Xu finally responded to me!" Zhao Shuang'er said with love and joy in her eyes.Tang Xiaorou was speechless for a moment. Although she also thought Yang Xu was not a good person, she felt that Zhao Shuang'er was not a fool. If Yang Xu was really so bad, Zhao Shuang'er wouldn't be so happy."Xiaorou, Yang Xu is really a good person. You and he may just have incompatible personalities, but he's really good. I've been so happy spending time with him these past few days," Zhao Shuang'er's eyes were full of admiration and joy.Seeing Zhao Shuang'er's happy expression, Tang Xiaorou had intended to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.Zhao Shuang'er was her best friend in school, and since Zhao Shuang'er was happy, she had no reason to interfere."Xiaorou, would you bless me and Yang Xu?" Zhao Shuang'er grabbed Tang Xiaorou's hands and asked."Well, I wish you both happiness," Tang Xiaorou smiled and said....During the afternoon break, Fang Yu was reading a novel when Tang Xiaorou suddenly approached him and said, "Hey, did you know? Yang Xu is now with Shuang'er."Fang Yu didn't even lift his eyelids and asked, "Who is Shuang'er?""Zhao Shuang'er, my best friend in the advanced class," Tang Xiaorou said."Oh," Fang Yu responded."I used to think Yang Xu was not a good person, but Shuang'er seems very happy with him. It seems like Yang Xu treats her well," Tang Xiaorou said."So, are you happy or not?" Fang Yu raised his eyes to look at Tang Xiaorou and asked."Of course, I'm happy! I never liked Yang Xu pursuing me, and now he's with my best friend, so I don't have that worry anymore," Tang Xiaorou said."Just feels like they're moving a bit fast. It's only been a few days, and they're already together..." Tang Xiaorou muttered."If you're asking for my opinion, then I'll tell you, there's a problem," Fang Yu said."What problem?" Tang Xiaorou was taken aback and asked."Yang Xu," Fang Yu said.After saying that, Fang Yu turned his head and continued reading the novel, indicating to Tang Xiaorou not to bother him.Tang Xiaorou also thought that Yang Xu was not a good person, but she thought that Zhao Shuang'er was not a fool. If Yang Xu was really that bad, Zhao Shuang'er wouldn't be so happy."Alright, I won't think about it too much. Shuang'er's happiness is what matters," Tang Xiaorou thought to herself.The next day was Saturday, and there was no school.During the holidays, Fang Yu's daily routine was not much different from that of an ordinary elderly person.He would wake up at 7 in the morning, do a set of martial arts in the yard, then run around the back mountain, and after the run, he would buy breakfast before returning home....Eating a big meat bun, Fang Yu leisurely walked back to the yard.Before he even got close, he saw a Hummer SUV parked at the gate of the yard.Fang Yu walked up, and he saw a woman wearing sunglasses standing at the gate, looking inside.The woman had long hair and was dressed in a black suit. Her tall figure outlined perfect curves, especially her upper body, which made the buttons of her top strain."Who are you looking for?" Fang Yu took a bite of the meat bun and asked."Excuse me, does Fang Yu live here?" The woman spoke politely, taking off her sunglasses while speaking, revealing her beautiful face."I am." Compared to her, Fang Yu appeared very uncultured, still speaking with his mouth full of meat bun, unclear."Are you Fang Yu?" The woman was somewhat surprised, her beautiful eyes widened.But she quickly regained her composure and said, "Mr. Fang, I am Qin Yimo, Qin Wudao's granddaughter. My grandfather asked me to bring you eighteen boxes of Perfect Universal Rejuvenating Pills.""Perfect Universal Rejuvenating Pills?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, then understood that it was Qin Wudao's peculiar sense of humor.Qin Yimo instructed the driver to move the eighteen boxes of monster inner cores from the back compartment."Please give them to me upstairs," Fang Yu said.As the driver brought the monster inner cores upstairs, Qin Yimo silently observed Fang Yu.He looks so young? She felt that Fang Yu was too young compared to his reputation. He seemed like a middle school student.Grandfather said that he is the great benefactor and esteemed guest of the Qin family? How can someone like him be so highly regarded?Grandpa even told her that if she encountered any difficulties, she must consult Fang Yu?Looking at it, Fang Yu doesn't seem like someone who can provide help."I didn't expect you to grow up so quickly," Fang Yu looked at Qin Yimo with emotion.The last time they met, Qin Yimo was just a one-year-old baby.But these words from Fang Yu had a different meaning to Qin Yimo.Especially at this moment, Fang Yu was staring at Qin Yimo, making her subconsciously think that he was gazing at her impressive peaks."So grown up?"Qin Yimo's face slightly reddened as she said with a hint of anger, "Mr. Fang, please restrain yourself!"She doubted if she had found the right person. Was this really the person her grandfather had asked her to find?He clearly looked like a delinquent high school student!Fang Yu smiled and said, "I am an old friend of your grandfather."Old friend?Qin Wudao was eighty-three years old this year, and in front of him, Fang Yu was at most just a child!"Full of nonsense, deceitful, impolite... How could Grandpa value this person so much?" Qin Yimo muttered to herself.But being from a prestigious aristocratic family, she still maintained her dignity and manners."Mr. Fang, when did you meet my grandfather?" Qin Yimo asked."Probably eighty years ago? No, to be precise, it should be seventy-eight years ago..." Fang Yu squinted and said."Hehe..." Qin Yimo's face stiffened, and she could only force a smile.In her heart, Fang Yu's evaluation had plummeted.His words were absurd, exaggerated, and he pretended to be mature.What made him different from other high school students who daydream and brag? The only difference might be that Fang Yu had a thicker skin.Did he even know who Qin Wudao was? How dare he make such jokes?If it weren't for Qin Wudao repeatedly emphasizing before they left that Fang Yu was a great benefactor to the Qin family and must not be offended, Qin Yimo would have already educated him.At this time, the driver had brought all eighteen boxes of monster inner cores to the second floor and returned to the first floor.Qin Yimo glanced at Fang Yu and said, "Mr. Fang, I have delivered the Ten Complete Nourishing Pills that my grandfather entrusted to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go...""Why are you in such a hurry? Your grandfather asked me to look after you, so I should get to know you a bit." Fang Yu said.Qin Yimo bit her red lips and suppressed her displeasure as she said, "Mr. Fang... I have urgent matters to attend to. How about we meet next time...""Fine... But since it's our first meeting after you've grown up, I should give you something. Wait here for a moment." Fang Yu said, then turned and went upstairs.After waiting for two to three minutes, Fang Yu still hadn't come down.Qin Yimo was already quite impatient, but she must obey her grandfather's orders and couldn't get angry.After another minute, Fang Yu finally came downstairs, holding a bag of freshly picked vegetables from yesterday."These are the vegetables I grew myself, all-natural, without pesticides. Take them home and eat." Fang Yu handed the vegetables to Qin Yimo.Qin Yimo took the vegetables and forced a smile, saying, "Thank you.""And this sachet, take it with you. It helps calm and concentrate the mind." Fang Yu took out a linen sachet from his pocket and handed it to Qin Yimo.Qin Yimo thanked him again and then left.Sitting in the car, Qin Yimo took several deep breaths, her bosom rising and falling, calming down after a while."What kind of sachet is this?"Qin Yimo picked up the sachet Fang Yu gave her, brought it close to her nose, and took a sniff. She didn't smell any flower fragrance, but instead, it had a medicinal scent.However, strangely enough, after sniffing it, she truly felt comfortable. Her previously restless mood disappeared, and she became calm.Qin Yimo glanced at the bag of vegetables on the seat next to her, feeling both amused and exasperated.Who exactly was Fang Yu?Before she left, she asked Qin Wudao, but he didn't give her a direct answer. Instead, he said, "You go and find out for yourself."How was she supposed to find out? She felt that she couldn't communicate with Fang Yu at all."Forget it, important matters come first." Qin Yimo shook her head and stopped thinking about these things, picking up a stack of documents and started reading.
