Bo Yan didn’t even look at them. His voice was nonchalant as he said, “I’ll never help useless people. Climb up the ladder yourself if you’re capable.”
He left without a backward glance. He didn’t care about the… expressions that were frozen on the faces of the people he left behind.
An Ruxue’s expression became awkward and stiff, a sense of humiliation rising in her heart.
Why did Little Uncle become so distant suddenly? He was even saying harsh words to her?
Could it be, it was because of An Ge’er…?
…
An Ge’er quickly used exams as an excuse and said that she was leaving in advance.
She followed after Little Uncle and left. Her eyebrows couldn’t help but raise a little when she recalled the frozen smile on An Ruxue’s face. She felt much better knowing that he wasn’t going to help An Ruxue…
He was so unapproachable. Was it because of… her?
The car drove out of the military compound, settling An Ge’er’s heart.
“No matter what a person wants to achieve, you have to depend on yourself. Only you can give yourself everything you want.” Bo Yan looked at her from the rearview mirror. He threw something to her while speaking. She caught it and realized that it was an ice pack.
The ice pack was bone-chilling, but An Ge’er felt a little warmth creeping up from the bottom of her heart.
“Thank you… Little Uncle’s teachings are right.”
She knew he was explaining his actions earlier. But it didn’t matter why he was explaining.
Although she had received a scolding because of Little Uncle, he did help her in the end. Now, he even got an ice pack for her. Maybe he… wasn’t as bad as she had previously thought…?
“It’s only a few months before the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Which university are you going to apply to?
“Most likely, A University.”
“A University? Are you certain?” A University was one of the best universities in the country. He always had people keeping an eye on her in the dark. If using Dong’s description, even though this lass looked like a goody-two-shoes, she always skipped classes. How was she going to apply to A University?
An Ge’er didn’t want to explain too much. A University was located in A City. Grandpa didn’t want her to go to a university that was too far away, so she gladly obliged. Anyway, the film academy that Qiqi wished to attend was also in A University. It was the best arrangement since the two of them could be together.
The back of her hand felt much better after the cold compress. He stopped the car at the side of the road once they reached the city.
An Ge’er was already a little tired, and she wasn’t paying much attention. She swiftly fell into a deep sleep once the car was quiet.
Then, she was awoken by the strange sensation on the back of her hand. She saw that her hand was held in his hand the very moment she opened her eyes, and he was applying ointment for her…
An Ge’er was shocked.
So, he had parked the car to buy medications for her… and he was even applying ointment for her personally now?
He had a tall and well-built body; hence, he appeared crouched in the car’s cramped space. And he was lowering his head and applying ointment for her so gently.
The sky had already turned dark, and neon lights were flashing. Bright street lamps lined along the side of the street. His delicate side profile appeared elegant, clean, and fair, almost as beautiful as a painting. However, he had a cool demeanor, and she couldn’t read his facial expression.
An Ge’er wanted to retract her hand initially, but she began to feel a warm current in her heart upon seeing him like this.
In her impression, no one had ever been so gentle to her before…
“You’re awake? Are you hungry?” he asked without raising his head.
“Cough. I’m… not hungry…” An Ge’er quickly shifted her gaze, as if she had been caught on the spot. However, her tummy made a “grrr” sound. At least, her body was honest.
An Ge’er blushed, and uncertainty flashed through her eyes.
