Chapter 1 Don't Follow Me

  "Rong Rong, take this cup of hot milk and the freshly baked bread too, you can eat them when you're hungry later." His mother couldn't help but nag as she saw her son changing his shoes.

  Rong Ying had just finished breakfast, and the maid at home was cleaning up the dishes. Their family has always been like this, every day they have a plan for what to do, such as eating on time, sleeping on time, you can't not follow it even if you want to.

  For example, he just finished his breakfast patiently, which was a nutritious breakfast prepared by the maid early in the morning at the request of his mother. In fact, he didn't have much appetite, and he actually wanted to eat something spicy, but his family wouldn't agree.

  "A body that's still developing, remember to eat as soon as you're hungry." Mother was still nagging, as if she were instructing a child who was about to go off to war.

  "Alright, alright, I know." The 17-year-old boy's voice had already become somewhat deep and husky. Rong Ying responded with a voice that was already showing some masculine characteristics, "Mom, I'm leaving!"

  Took over the milk and bread handed over by his mother, carrying a school bag and closed the door, isolating his mother's nagging voice inside.

  He hurriedly ran to the entrance, with two black-clad bodyguards following behind him. No choice, rich people's children have to be careful when going out, or they might get kidnapped easily. This is also why rich people's children have to learn some swordsmanship or martial arts from a young age, exercising is one thing, but the most important thing is self-defense.

  Rong Ying lived in a luxurious villa district in Jincheng, where every house was a luxurious villa that looked both luxurious and strict. This community was not one that outsiders could easily enter, without a pass, the security guard at the entrance would not dare to let people in.

  At the entrance, a black Maybach was parked, and a driver dressed in black with white gloves had already opened the door for Rong Ying with respect. Rong Ying quickly got on the car.

  The driver asked in an old-fashioned way, "Are you still going to Chaoyang?"

  Rong Ying's expressionless face nodded slightly, then seemed to think of something and raised her hand to glance at her watch before instructing "Faster!"

  Chaoyang District is a unit of houses, people living inside all have a stable job, it doesn't mean they are rich, but having a decent job and a house in Jin City is already a remarkable thing. Because after all, they are still city dwellers, not poor people living on the outskirts or in rural areas.

  Jincheng is a rapidly developing city, a beautiful and vast place, and a city that gives people hope. Some students struggle their whole lives just to have a foothold in Jincheng. It seems that being able to settle down here is an extremely glorious thing.

  Xiaochan's parents were both primary school teachers, and their hometown was in the countryside. However, they were able to work in the city and had also managed to get their household registration transferred here. Their income wasn't particularly high, but it was enough to raise her comfortably. After having a younger brother, however, things weren't as easy anymore.

  Before the age of 14, Xiaoyan was a princess at home. At that time, national policies did not allow it, and her parents thought they could only have one child in this life, so Xiaoyan's life was very good at that time. The food and daily necessities at home were not the best, but also not bad.

  When I was 14 years old, the national policy changed and allowed to have two children. My parents made up for their regret of having only one child by giving birth to a boy. Finally, my father could hold his head high in our hometown, and also because of my brother's birth, my ballet career ended that year when I was 14 years old.

  The middle school opening ceremony was Xiaochan's last ballet performance, Rongying was conquered by that ballet, and then he spent a year chasing Xiaochan.

  Xiao Chuan is a very adaptable girl. Although her dream was to become a ballet dancer, learning ballet is expensive. She is now a student and without financial support from her parents, she has no source of income, so that luxurious dream will not come true. And having missed the golden age for learning ballet, it's impossible for her to do it in the future.

  Xiaochan felt down for a while, then gave herself a boost. After all, the thirty-six lines of business have produced top scholars; if one path doesn't work, change direction - you can't ignore reality and waste time.

  She pulled at her skirt, feeling it was a bit short again. In the past few years, she had grown too fast, and at 15 years old, she was already 168 cm tall, having been only 160 last year. And all of her clothes were from before she was 14 years old; since having a younger brother, she hadn't been able to buy new clothes.

  He slung his backpack and ran out the door, with his mother Wu Zhen shouting after him, "Don't forget to buy vegetables on your way back tonight!"

  These words made Xiaochan, who had run to the door, turn back and walk over to Wu Zhen with outstretched hand.

  Wu Zhen hugged her brother who had just woken up and glared at Xiao Chan, then reluctantly pulled out over ten yuan from her pocket, muttering "Didn't I give you some yesterday..."

  What followed, Xiaocui didn't have the heart to listen. Anyway, nowadays every day is like this. Her parents' wages can't support two children, and they can only live a tight life. Every penny is pinched, and when her brother was born, her mother didn't have much milk because of her age, so he mostly drank formula.

  The milk powder is expensive, a can of several hundred yuan's worth of milk powder isn't enough for a few days, and the money just flows away like water. If it weren't for Xiaocui still being in compulsory education, and because her parents' work is also considered decent, she wouldn't be able to bear the guilt of not letting her child attend school, so she was able to continue attending school.

  She took the twenty-five yuan and Xiaocui ran out again, her mother was still complaining behind her but she pretended not to hear. After running out of the neighborhood for a few steps, she stopped and turned back.

  "Chu Li, can you not follow me from now on?" The person following closely behind her was indeed called Chu Li, with a tall stature that surpassed Rong Yu's by a bit. At just 17 years old, she already stood at an impressive height of 189 cm, and when speaking to others, she had to look up slightly.

  Chu Li didn't say a word, and his face didn't show any extra expression, as if he was born with a poker face, always looking stern at everyone. He walked towards Xiao Chan, then handed her the thing in his hand.

  Xiaochan's face turned green again, and she was like this. She stuffed the milk that could still feel the temperature back into his hand, biting her lip and turning to run away.

  What can be said about her relationship with Chu Li? In fact, what kind of relationship is it anyway? There's no relationship at all. Xiaochan has already forgotten when exactly it started, but Chu Li had been following her from behind, not too close nor too far. Can it be said that he likes her? He never said so. Sometimes he would ignore her, yet occasionally send her milk.

  She didn't like Chu Li following her for two reasons. First, it was too unbelievable, who would follow someone around all day for no reason? Second, Chu Li was not ambitious and had poor academic performance, which wasn't wrong in itself, but not studying diligently was unacceptable.

  She stopped thinking about it, anyway she had said many times, but the result was useless. She knew that even if she tried hard, it would be of no use, so she wouldn't waste her time on it either.

  Xiaochan has a strong sense of time, without a mobile phone or watch, she can still feel how much longer it will take to go to class. Now she can only rush to the bus station, if she doesn't catch the 7:20 bus, she'll have to wait for the 8 o'clock one, which would undoubtedly make her late.

  Being late would mean she'd lose her scholarship, and she's always been a good student, from elementary school on, always the first in class. Nowadays it's the same, and because of her excellent grades, that's why she has a scholarship. In the past, it was okay, but nowadays the scholarship is a big subsidy for her.

  Although it's only a few hundred yuan, she secretly saved them up. What her parents don't know is that she's now in compulsory education and they have to bear the tuition fees, but what about when she goes to university? She has to think about her own future after all.

  It was a struggle to squeeze onto the bus, and because there were so many people, she was squished almost into a pancake. Suddenly, the space around her opened up. Without turning around, she knew who was behind her, because this wasn't the first time either. Chu Li's tall figure stood behind her, blocking out the crowds of people for her, leaving her with a small amount of space.

  "Thank you." When getting off the bus, Xiaocui threw out a sentence and rushed forward again. She is a very reasonable person, although she doesn't like this person in her heart, but he has helped her invisibly, and she will also say thank you to him.

  She ran to a small shop a little far from the school, skillfully asked the boss for more than ten breads, and walked towards the school. When she arrived at the entrance, she happened to see Rong Ying getting out of the car.

  Rong Ying saw her, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and he scowled, "Can't you wait for me just one minute?" Was she going to leave just one step ahead of him? Luckily, he had been desperately thinking about it.

  Xiaochan stuck out her tongue at him and said, "I'm in a hurry."

  He's a big shot with a car, and being late is no big deal for him, but she has other things to do. Rong Ying saw that she was carrying a large bag of bread and automatically reached out to take it from her, his expression calm and not saying much.

  The two of them walked together towards the campus, attracting frequent sideways glances from others. What can be said, probably only Rong Ying dared to openly romance in Jin City High School, what's the solution? Who let his family have money? With a powerful and influential father, who is also a school sponsor, who dares to say anything to this young master?

  There were one or two good teachers who wanted to talk to them, but when they saw the exam results, they got it - they were all first in their year. What else could you say? Early love affairs are feared to affect studies, but now they haven't affected anything and have even brought glory to the school. What can you say? If you provoke them, I'm afraid you'll be the one who ends up getting hurt.

  "Is that kid still following you?" Zou asked as they walked to the stairs, after all, his girlfriend was being pursued by another man, and no one would feel good about it.

  Xiao Chan didn't plan on hiding it either, she just hummed in agreement. If others insisted on following her, what could she do?

  As expected, Rong Yu's face sank as soon as he heard it. If anyone else had dared to boss Xiao Chan around, he could have easily found a few people to get rid of them. But the other person was Chu Li.

  Chu Li is just a student who looks handsome but has very poor grades in the eyes of his classmates, and it's said that he lives with his uncle, with average family conditions. However, Rong Yu's investigation results were not like this, what kind of person Chu Li really is, his relationship network can't be investigated at all. This is the most troublesome place for him, a strong enemy is not scary, what's scary is that you don't understand the enemy's situation at all.

  "He just followed, didn't do anything." Xiaocui said softly, she knew that Rongying had found trouble with Chuli, but what the outcome was she didn't know, however she didn't want to let the two become enemies because of this.

  Rong Ying hummed a sound from her nose, looked around and saw no one, then hugged her over, looking at the little bird in her arms, she said "In the future, don't get involved with other men!"

  Xiaochan slapped him and said, "What are you talking about? She's been very well-behaved, when has she ever flirted with other men? What a petty, overbearing and unreasonable man!"

  Digression

  New chapter of "Qin Shao's Marriage Trap: The Spoiled Wife Escapes" is being serialized.

  Su's dream was simple, just find a husband who wasn't very rich but also not too poor and marry him, living a comfortable life.

  But this dream was shattered in the hands of Qin's young master.

  She, who had always been calm and self-restrained, was spoiled by him into having a slightly rebellious temperament.

  ——

  Later.

  "We said we'd part ways amicably, what does Mr. Qin mean by this?" The woman being held under house arrest in the villa looked at the man with a faint counter-question.

  "I heard you're getting married?" Qin Shao's face was gloomy.

  "Yes."

  Qin Shao calmly said, "Rather than letting you marry another man and being a green hat for someone else, it's better if you just marry me directly."

  The woman began to be on her guard "What do you mean?"

  The man looked at the woman and said in a domineering tone, "If you dare to marry another man, I will definitely be your extramarital affair!"
