Chapter 25: Turning Danger into Safety

  Perhaps Cen Yanqiu never realized that Ji Ningning's existence had helped him a lot, and just giving him one painful lesson after another allowed him to grow up step by step. Which young man doesn't have such a girl growing up with him? He just never noticed.

  Of course, Lin Jingxian saw her son come back with a wounded body, and there was also a beautiful and lovely girl standing beside him. She was naturally annoyed, and without distinguishing between right and wrong, she stared at them for three seconds before suddenly becoming furious: "What's going on here?! So late coming home, and you're saying it's because of being on duty?! Are you on duty every day?! Did you fall from the balcony while on duty?!"

  "You know again......" Cen Yanqiu didn't want to explain either. In front of his classmates, his mother didn't give him any face at all. He was also angry in his heart, let alone that this wasn't an ordinary classmate, but Ji Ningning. She must be laughing at him again.

  Lin Jingxian did not expect her son to talk back to her, and she was even more furious in her heart. This child is getting harder to manage as he gets older. If she doesn't discipline him strictly, he will really become unmanageable.

  "Auntie, you misunderstood..." Just as Lin Jingxian was about to get angry, Ji Ningning smiled and spoke up beside Qin Yanqiu, "I'm the class president of Class A in first year, and so is Qin. Today, there was a fight among students at school, and Qin, being the class president, went out to stop them before the teachers arrived. Unfortunately, he got hurt in the process. Although we don't agree with his methods, the teacher still praised him. The teacher is worried that you won't believe him when he gets back, so she asked me to come with him. She told us to call her as soon as we get home, so she can be at ease."

  "Ah...!" Lin Jingxian's anger vanished instantly, replaced with a smile. "Look at me, I'm all flustered! Qiu, your classmate is here, hurry up and invite her to sit down!"

  "Got it, mom!" Xun Yanqiu let out a sigh of relief and strode towards the living room.

  "Thank you, Auntie!" Ji Ningning smiled and nodded, then hastily followed behind Cen Yanqiu.

  Lin Jingxian also smiled and said from behind: "You sit down, I'll go get some fruit!"

  "Sorry to trouble you, Auntie!" Ji Ningning's face was full of a triumphant smile.

  Cen Yanqiu didn't know how to cooperate with Ji Ningning, so he gave her a white eye and lazily said: "See you get out of this one! Later my mom will definitely call the class teacher!"

  "Then let her hit! What are you afraid of?" Ji Ningning said, and then took out her mobile phone from her school bag, hastily flipping through the numbers...

  "Hello, is this Teacher Jin? I'm Ji Ningning... there's something..."

  Cen Yanqiu looked at Ji Ningning's serious expression as she made a phone call to Jin Mingmei, and finally felt a bit relieved in her heart, but her body was getting more and more painful.

  Ji Ningning put down her phone, made a victorious gesture to Cen Yanqiu, then spread out her hands and leaned back on the sofa, laughing: "Wow, I heard in middle school that your family had some money, didn't expect it to be true, this house is really big!"

  "So you've been paying attention to me since middle school!" Xun Yanqiu gave a sly smile and threw a flirtatious glance at Ji Ningning, but Ji Ningning was completely uninterested and ignored him.

  "Long wait, come on, have some fruit!" Lin Jingxian smiled and brought over a plate of fruit, placing it on the table and sitting down beside Qin Yichen.

  "Thank you, Auntie!" Ji Ningning said, and then picked up a bamboo skewer to pick up an apple, which was her favorite fruit.

  Lin Jingxian took a look at the injuries on Cen Yanqiu's body and suddenly felt some heartache. She anxiously pulled his hand, "You're injured so badly! Your dad is back, let's go to the hospital."

  "It's not that serious! Besides, as the anime says, a few scars are a symbol of manhood!" Xie Yanqiu didn't think he was weak enough to need hospitalization.

  Lin Jingxian only felt a headache, and her son actually used those illusory cartoons to make things difficult for her. "Then you wait here for a moment, I'll go get some medicine to wipe it off."

  "Auntie, I have to go back first, it's so late, my dad and mom will worry." Ji Ningning also stood up.

  Lin Jingxian didn't want to stay with Ji Ningning for long either, so she said to Cen Yanqiu, "Qiu, you go see your classmate off first."

  "Oh..." Xun Yan slowly got up and walked towards the main gate by himself.

  Ji Ningning smiled faintly and nodded at Lin Jingyan, "Auntie, I'll head back first then!"

  "Ah, come over and sit down sometime!" Lin Jingxian also smiled slightly, this girl looked very polite, she also had a few points of fondness.

  Ji Ning nodded and hastily followed Xun Yanqiu.

  Two people stood outside the gate of Cen Yanqiu's house, and Ji Ningning finally felt a little more at ease. She looked at Cen Yanqiu with a triumphant smile in her eyes, "You don't have to be too grateful to me, or anything like that. I just want you to copy 20 English words for me every day from tomorrow on!"

  "What?" Zhen Yanqiu immediately knew that Ji Ningning was not being kind-hearted. How could she possibly not want anything in return, just to help him? Taking advantage of the fire to loot was her style. He only felt that he had not yet settled one wave, and another wave came, "My hand is injured, how can I copy?"

  "Wait until your hand is healed and then copy it, it's not like you won't be able to do it!" Ji Ningning said, and with a swing of her backpack, she walked away lightly.

  "Hey, Ji Ningning!" Yan Qiu shouted from behind. He really thought she was impolite, he hadn't even finished speaking and she had already left.

  Ji Ningning smiled faintly and raised an eyebrow, looking at Cen Yanqiu behind her, "What's up?"

  "Nothing... just a girl... be careful on your way back..." Chi Yanqiu said, feeling his face heat up, probably blushing again. He really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, why did he have to say such embarrassing things for no reason.

  "Hmph..." Ji Ningning patted her forehead, it seemed that Cen Yanqiu was a dishonest guy, but she felt especially sweet and warm in her heart, "Don't worry! I'm not as weak as you! Let's go!"

  As she spoke, Ji Ningning trotted off with a happy gait.

  Cen Yanqiu was slightly surprised, this wasn't the usual Jining Ning she knew. She didn't expect her to have such a cute side too. Today, thanks to her, everything turned out "calm after the storm". He stood still for a while, then slowly turned his head back.

  As expected, as soon as he stepped into the house, he saw his mother on the phone with his teacher, and Qin Yanqiu's heart hung again. His ears moved slightly, as if to listen carefully to what his mother was saying.

  However, Lin Jingyan hung up the phone at this time and looked at Qian Yanqiu with a gentle tone: "Qian, your class teacher has told me that in the future, don't be too proud, if there's anything, report to the teacher first..."

  Cen Yanqiu knew that next, his ears would be in for another round of non-stop lecturing. As soon as his mom started talking about something, it was always endless. He hurriedly covered his stomach, looking very uncomfortable, "Mom, I'm hungry..."

  "Oh... look at me, I completely forgot! Wait a minute, let me go heat up some food for you!" Lin Jingyan suddenly remembered that her son hadn't eaten yet.

  Cen Yan Qiu let out a sigh of relief, as if he had been completely forgiven, and sat down on the sofa. Today was really chaotic. Fortunately, everything wasn't as bad as he had imagined, and this matter was now over. He didn't know how Ji Ningning would explain things to their teacher tomorrow, but she would definitely find a way. Girls were just great - if they looked obedient and studied well, teachers would unconditionally trust them. How enviable and detestable girls were!
