Chapter 21: Running Away from Home

  Yang Chengyu's words shocked both Cen Yanqiu and Tan Shizhe, and Cen Yanqiu couldn't help but ask, "What else have you heard?"

  Yang Chengyu looked around and made sure no one was watching them before he let out a sigh of relief.

  "Don't worry, no one is paying attention to you!" Xun Yanqiu couldn't help but mock his best friend's tense appearance.

  Yang Chengyu sneered, "Guess what kind of family Bai Yaya comes from?"

  "We don't gossip!" Cen Yanqiu and Tan Shizhe said in unison. It's strange to say, but Cen Yanqiu thought he had the best tacit understanding with Yang Chengyu, but now more and more people have a tacit understanding with him, mainly because they share the same values and think Yang Chengyu is too gossipy.

  Yang Chengyu let out a sigh, "What is this? This is 'the world is muddy but I am clear'! I won't follow the crowd of losers like you guys! I have ideals, fighting spirit, goals, and a girl to chase!"

  "Can you get to the point?" Cen Yanqiu had always been suspecting whether he was also a normal boy, after all, being in the same class with such an abnormal person for so many years, he must have been contaminated to some extent. Tomorrow is the weekend, he was considering whether to go to the hospital for a check-up.

  Yang Chengyu deliberately made a mysterious tone, leaned in close to Cen Yanqiu and Tan Shizhe, and said: "Bai Liya is a rich young lady, you should all know that by now?"

  "Yu Shao, this isn't an idol drama! Are you going to say something or not? If not, then go and properly recruit new members!" Qian Yanqiu didn't care about any rich young lady or whatever fallen Cinderella, he just wanted to know what had happened to his club member.

  "Don't be in a hurry!" Yang Chengyu smiled, "First listen to me, Bai Yaya is not like what everyone imagined, she's not a princess who gets whatever she wants! When she was young, her father sent her to someone else to raise her because the White family didn't want girls. In middle school, her mother took her back, so she's not particularly close with her family members either. Even with Bai Yaya Shao, her twin brother in Class C of first grade, it's the same, they're not that close!"

  "That's too much! How could such a thing happen!" Unbeknownst to them, Ge Jinghang and Zhou Zhanling also walked over, just in time to hear this conversation. Ge Jinghang couldn't help but burst out in anger, "So Little White had such an experience, her father is too much!"

  "Xiao Ge, calm down! Calm down!" Zhou Zhanling reminded him from the side.

  Cen Yan Qiu paused for a moment and said, "Since it's her family matter, we want to help but can't. However, when she needs our help, I will absolutely not refuse."

  "Hmm..." Tan Shizhe just slightly nodded his head, and his expression suddenly became somewhat melancholic, also didn't know what reason, perhaps thinking of his own past events.

  In Class A of the first grade, Bai Liya walked in, and Bai Liao also followed her into the classroom. There was no one in the classroom, as everyone had gone to participate in club recruitment activities, making the entire classroom seem a bit empty.

  Bai Liya didn't say a word either, and walked straight to her own seat, sat down, slowly took out her math exercise book, and ignored Bai Lishao.

  Bai Rui Shao looked at his sister, who still had an indifferent expression. He felt a pang in his heart and furrowed his brow, saying slowly: "Xiao Ya, I know you don't like our family, but you should understand that this is the only home you have. You have Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and me as your brother. How can you just run away from home so willfully?"

  "It's been three weeks since I left home, have they looked for me? Have they cared about me?" Bai Yaya didn't want to cry out like a child, and she didn't think that crying out would change everything. She just wanted some care, but her family couldn't give it to her.

  Bai Ru Shao listened to this and suddenly felt inexplicably sad, "I've been looking for you all along, I've always been concerned about you!"

  "Bai Lian Shao, if you were me, perhaps you wouldn't speak so lightly!" Bai Lian Ya said bluntly, raising her head to gaze coldly at Bai Lian Shao.

  Bai Ru's eyes dimmed, he knew the grievances in her heart. Sometimes he wished he was a girl himself, so he could replace her and be sent away, and she wouldn't have to suffer alone for so many years.

  "Why does it have to be me? Why did he want to give me away to someone else? Is it just because I'm not a boy?" Bai Xiaya stared coldly at Bai Xiashao, her face expressionless and emotionless.

  Bai Ruoshao also knew that she was uncomfortable in her heart, having been abandoned at someone else's house since childhood and living a very difficult life. Later, she was taken back by her mother, but it was for another purpose.

  Suddenly, Bai Liya lowered her head and slowly flipped through the math exercise book in her hand. Her cold tone slowly came out, "This is a classroom for Grade A of Class 1. You are not from this class, please leave!"

  "Xiao Ya..." Bai Lian had never felt so distant from her sister, despite being the closest person in the world. It was as if they were sworn enemies. "I... don't feel at ease with you being alone outside... Why don't you come home with me every day? I'll make it clear to Mom and Dad, and they won't..."

  "You can't even take care of yourself, how are you going to help me?" Bai Yaya rummaged through the exercise book in her hand without looking up, "If I had my way, running away from home would be the best solution, I don't want to be their daughter!"

  At this time, two girls walked into the classroom. They saw Bai Ruo Shao and Bai Ruo Ya, and couldn't help but be surprised. The two of them walked to their own seats, still looking at Class C's classmate Bai Ruo Shao with a puzzled expression.

  "Classmates are coming soon, get out! I don't want to be ridiculed!"

  "Xiao Ya..." Bai Lian hesitated for a moment, also noticing the curious gazes of the two girls in the classroom. He was about to say something, but then took it back, "You... take good care of yourself!"

  After finishing speaking, Bai Li turned around and strode out of the classroom without looking back.

  Bai Ruoyi took a deep breath and slowly put down the exercise book in her hand. Every time she wanted to forget those unhappy things, she would only bury herself in the sea of books. Being first in grades was meaningless, it couldn't make her happy at all.

  Nor did she know how long she had been sitting there, but she only heard the noise coming from downstairs, her classmates seemed to be very happy, happy about the new semester, happy about joining clubs, happy about making friends, but she couldn't be happy.
