Chapter 288: Chapter 51_2Although he realized this, he was genuinely happy. He felt like a little loach, being playfully molded in Xiao Yuan’s hands, and he quite enjoyed it. The only regret was that over the past month, things had been very quiet with no corpse collapses. He had asked Run Sheng, was it like this before? Run Sheng replied, before you came, I wondered why there were suddenly so many corpse collapses in the village. After you came, things went back to normal. This made Tan Wenbin feel guilty for a while, believing that his arrival had disrupted the Feng Shui. However, Li Zhiyuan didn’t feel bored at all, as he was now primarily focused on learning to paint and researching "Righteous Demon Extermination Records" and, in passing, studying the trinkets left by the gnome father and son. The boy felt his life was quite fulfilling. A lower frequency of corpse collapses was better; he couldn’t handle it if every day there was an incident like with Bai Family’s Lady or the fish pond skinning. Li Sanjiang was very quiet today, silently sipping his porridge. After breakfast, Run Sheng rolled out the tricycle. There were two small stools on the cart, both wrapped in cloth. Tan Wenbin, on the other hand, pushed out his bicycle. The bike ride home after school last time was pure agony for him; he felt like he belonged under the bike, not on it. "Grandmaster." Li Zhiyuan didn’t rush to get on the bike but instead approached Li Sanjiang, showing a hint of shyness and anticipation. Most children at this age had such an expression, especially when facing elders of the older generation. "Haha, understood." Li Sanjiang pulled out money from his pocket, not much, at least much less than when he used to give large bills to his great-grandchildren, but as pocket money given daily, it was an amount that most rural and even urban children would envy. Li Sanjiang had always been generous with money, especially towards Little Yuanhou. "Hehe." Li Zhiyuan took today’s pocket money. He had declined Li Sanjiang’s offer to give him a month’s worth of pocket money at once, because he wanted a little bit each day, so the Grandmaster could have more happiness every day. And for himself, there would be more chances to experience the feeling of happiness. Riding in the tricycle with Alii, they set off down the dam. The girl insisted on transporting him to and from school every morning and evening. Li Zhiyuan also paid attention and noticed that Liu Yumei did not ask Aunt Liu to accompany them, and in the hideout, Uncle Qin, who had already left, was nowhere to be seen. She really let her granddaughter go out on her own, knowing what’s best for her future. But with Run Sheng’s protection, Alii would be safe. Wrong, even without Run Sheng’s protection, it seemed Alii couldn’t get into any trouble; Run Sheng was more likely protecting those who tried to approach Alii from real danger. The entrance of the big middle school was always bustling at morning, midday, and evening, and the street shops by the school gate opened early. Sometimes Li Zhiyuan would buy some siu mai or baozi to share with Alii. Mostly just for a taste, as they had already eaten breakfast at home. Or he would buy some small accessories for Alii, to add to her collection box. Liu Yumei had told Li Zhiyuan that every night before going to bed, Alii would squat in front of her collection box and carefully arrange each item one by one. Regrettably, Alii could not go to school. She was no longer averse to family members like Grandmaster, Tan Wenbin, Run Sheng, and not even to Li Weihan, Cui Guiying, Cui Cui, Panzi, and Leizi—those who often visited the house—she was able to restrain herself. But to actually attend school with a large group of students in a classroom, that was something she could not accept. Most importantly, Alii had no interest in school life or in making friends; the traditional savior’s perspective was so redundant for her. Even, she might not have any attachment to this world; what she liked was only the "new world" that the boy had introduced her to. After waving goodbye to Run Sheng and Alii, Li Zhiyuan and Tan Wenbin followed the crowd of junior high students into the school gate. High school students had earlier morning self-study, so apart from those who lived very close, most high school students, especially seniors, would choose to board at school. Tan Wenbin had previously boarded at the school, but he moved back home after getting into a fight in the dormitory. Entering the high school building, everyone was on the second period of morning self-study, except for the teacher’s lecture, it was very quiet. Tan Wenbin, with his school bag slung over his shoulder, sauntered while flicking his bangs, enjoying this distinctive feeling, believing that he had style. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even when encountering other teachers or the principal in the corridors, he wasn’t the least bit intimidated; after all, they were all very polite and friendly to his family’s boss. Consequently, they also nodded to him. In fact, only Tan Yunlong and his wife still harbored the hope that their son might gain some influence from the star of literature; For the school leaders and teachers, sacrificing Tan Wenbin ensured a top scorer for the province, a worthwhile trade. Li Zhiyuan arrived at the classroom door, where Mr. Su, the English teacher, was just finishing up a cloze test. Mr. Su smiled and gestured to Li Zhiyuan. Li Zhiyuan responded with a basic, shy smile. No need to call out "report" and disturb the classmates; he walked straight into the classroom, with Tan Wenbin sitting inside and Li Zhiyuan following. Pulling out the "Righteous Demon Extermination Records" from his drawer, Li Zhiyuan began to read. In an English environment, this kind of "classical work" seemed even more charming. Only, after sitting in the first row by the door for a month, he really didn’t like this spot. Because whenever classmates passed by, they would deliberately slow down to look at him, even though he was careful not to make friends with them.
