Chapter 803 - 385: Family Turmoil (Part 2)

The girl held the textbook in her arms, her waist-length hair was tied together with a delicate ribbon, loosely falling behind her head. The jet-black hair accentuated her rosy cheeks, giving her an exquisite demeanor, "Who are you to me, why should I answer your question?"

The girl’s attitude confused many of her classmates who knew her, because during school she always behaved very gently and softly, speaking in a warm and gentle manner, with very cultured actions, such unyielding and willful behavior had never been seen before.

Precisely because she left such a good impression, even though they were not aware of her family’s background, they subconsciously felt she must be the young lady of some prominent family, a bearing that ordinary families could not nurture.

The student who had humiliated Huaixi after class was choked up by her words, then heard her add, "I forgot to tell you... My last name is Su, and Huaixi’s mother is also named Su..." These words... were truly profound, full of implications.

Infuriated, the girl left a group of students in the classroom, her cheeks puffed up with anger and subtly flushed, full of youthful vitality.

"These people really drive me mad, I won’t let them off in the next practical class! Deal with each one I encounter and see if they can keep their mouths shut." The girl swiftly traversed the long corridor, her pleated skirt forming graceful arcs with her steps.

It’s now break time, and there are quite a few students in the corridor. Seeing the girl walking briskly, they couldn’t help but glance sideways.

Before the outbreak of the Insect Race war, the school’s gender ratio was already quite imbalanced, and it widened further after the outbreak, nearing five to one. The girl was a leading figure among the females, attracting attention wherever she went on campus.

Within the school, the proportion of tomboys and tough girls was overwhelmingly large, it was almost impossible to see the unique gentleness of femininity in them.

However, this girl was an exception. Her strength was formidable, her personality was gentle, her demeanor so tender that a group of boys was captivated, she was considered a campus goddess in preparation. Once she grew a few more years, developed mature femininity, she would officially be a campus goddess!

However, few knew that the gentle goddess in their eyes was actually quite a violent woman at heart, and her goal was to become one of the top Valkyries of the Alliance! The gentleness was merely to appease the elders.

She hurriedly climbed the school’s highest sky tower, surveyed for a long time before she found Huaixi sitting in an inconspicuous corner. She approached quickly, then crouched beside him, without speaking, just looking in the direction he was gazing...

Looking out, it was just a diminishing horizon... No one knew what the brothers were thinking, when feeling down, they liked to climb to high places to view the scenery. But she had watched for so long and didn’t find the scenery appealing in the slightest.

Huaixi had a high sense of alertness; with someone next to him, how could he not notice? He had detected her approach from when she neared the tower. This had been the way for many years, he gradually became accustomed. If she hadn’t come to find him, he’d likely stay here, letting the wind blow all night long, dazing off. Scenery watching? Heh, he was just emptying his mind, silently dazing off.

"Hey, Huaixi, I remember the wound on your waist hasn’t healed yet, right? At this time, lying on the ground is better than sitting on the ground..." The girl, lacking patience, felt bored after a while, raised her hand to poke his arm, "And the wind here is strong..."

"Why did you come over? Isn’t there still class later?" Huaixi released his hands from his knees, then sat cross-legged, turning to look at her, his expression not as severe as before, his sharp eyes softened several degrees, "If you dare skip class, I’ll immediately report to Uncle Qian Chen, I’m sure however busy he is, he would spare time to address your academic situation..."

In recent years, Qian Chen was very active on the battlefield, the more active he became, the more he wished Qianhe could be an ordinary girl, bearing all storms alone was enough for him as an uncle. Huaixi understood Qian Chen’s intentions, but wasn’t very supportive.

For Qianhe’s benefit, Qian Chen even requested Gu Molin to educate Qianhe under the standards of aristocratic ladies, openly wishing to keep her isolated from the war.

It was unclear what Gu Molin’s considerations were, yet he agreed to Qian Chen’s request.

Qianhe became the gentle, smiling tigress she is today largely thanks to these two elders.

However, Huaixi wasn’t quite comprehending, if Uncle Qian Chen was determined to isolate Qianhe from war, why did he still permit her to attend the Xilena Second Affiliated School? It’s known that students from this school are all future battlefield reserves!

If those words were mere talk, her etiquette lessons during leisure time weren’t just for display, as Qianhe now increasingly exhibits the demeanor of an aristocratic lady... In short, Huaixi was bewildered. Qianhe somewhat understood, but she wouldn’t say.

"After all, they will be used someday... There’s no harm learning more now..." When Huaixi asked, Qianhe always use this seemingly ambiguous response to deflect him, leaving Huaixi still clueless.

"Little brother Huaixi, secretly reporting is not the behavior of a gentleman." Qianhe raised her hand to poke Huaixi’s cheek, inwardly muttering that this kid seemed to slim down even more than before, previously his face had some flesh, now only skin remained.

"I never claimed to be a gentleman..." Huaixi earnestly shook his head to deny, then added, "Besides, you have long known I’m a boy, why still use such a term like ’little sister’?"

Qianhe stuck her tongue out secretly, why use such a term? Naturally, to divert his attention. Skipping class, if uncle truly found out, wouldn’t he endlessly nag her!
