Despite his illness being the same as ever, he was content as long as there was no worsening of his condition. As usual, he chatted joyfully about his video games with his mom before having breakfast. Then, seizing the opportunity before school hours, Su Ran went early to old Mr. Li’s house next door. Mr. Li, uh, could also be called the “Little Sweetheart.” Su Ran was suppressing his laughter as he recalled the image of Mr. Li as a reserved and stern man. Now he felt that Mr. Li was just a game geek with numerous online girlfriends. In his heart, Mr. Li was the “Little Sweetheart.” Arriving at Mr. Li’s front door, Su Ran was still figuring out what to say when unexpectedly, the door opened early. Turned out, Mr. Li was preparing to take his bird cage out for a stroll. “Eh? Is it Su Boy? Come in, come in!” Mr. Li was surprised to see a person standing at the doorway. “Thank you, Mr. Li, for letting me bother you.” Su Ran bowed his head and entered. Once inside the living room, Su Ran got straight to the point, “Mr. Li, I was lucky enough to get a Group Attack Skill Book for fighters. I wonder if you are interested?” “No, no! I’m too old for that now. I can hardly read the letters!” Mr. Li immediately shook his head. Su Ran understood. If others found out that old Mr. Li was the “Little Sweetheart,” wouldn’t they laugh their teeth off? Where would Mr. Li put his face then? Hence, Su Ran stood up, saying to Mr. Li, “Pardon me, Mr. Li, I’ll go now. If you want to have a look at the book, you can contact me or my mom.” After saying goodbye to Mr. Li, Su Ran went off to school. Not long after Su Ran left, a young girl in her pajamas walked out. Her hair was casually bundled, her delicate face glowed pink beneath its fairness, and even her nightwear could not hide her slender and tall figure. If Su Ran were there, he would exclaim, “So beautiful!” If this girl was compared to the school beauty Han Siying, they would be on par with each other! “Grandpa, who was that visitor so early in the morning? It’s so impolite!” The girl pouted, looking evidently unhappy. “Wan’er, you shouldn’t judge someone so quickly,” Mr. Li indulgently smiled, “It was the Su Boy from next door. A determined young man.” “You mean the Su Ran you often talk about? He is indeed commendable,” replied the pretty girl. She was Mr. Li’s granddaughter, Li Wan’er. “But why did he come here?” asked a puzzled Li Wan’er, “Shouldn’t Su Boy be studying diligently instead of dropping by here?” “Who knows, this chap managed to find a book somewhere; something about a Group Attack or so,” Mr. Li gave a wry smile, “This lad, treating the book as a treasure without considering the age of old me. I can hardly read and yet he gives me a book! So absurd.” This, however, changed Li Waner’s expression a lot. “A Group Attack Skill Book for Fighters!” Su Boy has such good luck! Li Wan’er immediately grabbed her grandpa’s sleeve, saying, “Grandpa, I want that book if you don’t! You’re way too careless. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ah, it’s useless to reason with you. I’m in a hurry!” “Oh?” Mr. Li was somewhat surprised. His granddaughter was usually steady in her demeanor. He had never seen her lose her composure like this. He cleared his throat and continued, “Wan’er, let me finish. Su Boy said if I want that book, I can just contact him or his mom. Su Boy is at school now, but his mom should be at home at this hour.” Visibly elated, Li Wan’er sweetly smiled at her grandpa, “Grandpa, could you do me a favor and buy this book for me, please?” “Can’t you go by yourself?” questioned a puzzled Mr. Li. “Ah, I’m still a respectable lady, grandpa. When have you ever seen me talk to boys?” “Alright alright, how much is that book? I will go there with the money,” Mr. Li chuckled as he looked at his granddaughter. “Uh, the market price is around 10,000 RMB, and on the black market, it’s probably about 20,000,” Li Wan’er said matter-of-factly. “Sss! What kind of book is this expensive! Is it a gold book?” Mr. Li grumbled, his eyes wide open. “Oh, pish! Demand far exceeds supply, and it’s difficult to buy! Come on, please, grandpa,” Li Wan’er shook her grandpa’s arm, acting charmingly. “Alright, alright!” Mr. Li cheerfully agreed, totally forgetting his stern demeanor, “But let me say this first, Su Boy’s family is very poor. I always wanted to help them but couldn’t find a reason.” “I know, how about buying it for 30,000? Haha~” Li Wan’er’s smile became sweeter, “I’ll go to the bank to withdraw cash and then trouble you to deliver it, Grandpa, you’re the best!” Seeing his granddaughter hastily return to her room to change her clothes, Mr. Li shook his head and chuckled. As for today’s young people… he just couldn’t understand them! … A high-end black sedan was driving on the street. “Little Ying, have all the arrangements I made for you been accomplished?” A mature and stable voice echoed in the car. “Everything has been done according to your instructions,” replied Han Siying from the back seat to the driver in the front, without a trace of warmth in her tone. “He will be out of your sight very soon.” “Alright, father.” At the No. 1 Experimental High School of Changshi city, Senior Year, Class Five. “Look who’s here!” Lin Yuqing, Su Ran’s desk mate, was cheerfully looking at him. “Uh huh~ Good morning,” Su Ran glanced at the seats in the right rear, Zhang Meng and Han Siying were not there yet. His heart, which had been lifted, dropped like a stone and he relaxed, smiling at Lin Yuqing. “Here, it’s in the drawer, don’t forget to drink it!” Lin Yuqing sneakily pointed to Su Ran’s desk drawer, her eyes squinting like a cheeky fox. Su Ran smiled joyfully, took out the ‘Mushroom Soup’ from the drawer, unwrapped it, and drank it all. “This mushroom soup is so delicious, why don’t you drink it?” Su Ran felt a bit embarrassed as he had been drinking the soup every day. “I don’t like it,” Lin Yuqing had another unsaid thought – she just liked watching Su Ran drink soup. “Hey, Su Ran, which university do you plan to apply to next year?” Lin Yuqing had a plan in mind. “What about you?” Su Ran countered with a smile. “Me? I’ve always dreamed of entering the Eastern Province University. I’m not considering Tsinghua or anything like that,” Lin Yuqing became somewhat wistful thinking about the impending separation after their Senior Year graduation. She knew her grades were not comparable to Su Ran’s, and Su Ran could receive better education. Su Ran simply chuckled but didn’t reply. “Hey, tell me, where are you planning to apply?” Lin Yuqing was still hoping. “Hmm… let me think, Tsinghua or Beijing University?” Su Ran teased Lin Yuqing on purpose. Immediately on hearing this, Lin Yuqing’s face turned a bit unnatural, but she forced a smile. “Huh~ forget it, I’ll choose Eastern Province University then. Otherwise, a certain person here would hold a grudge.” “You, rascal.” Lin Yuqing laughed heartily, but then wore a worried expression again. With such good grades, wasn’t it a bit of a waste for Su Ran to go to Eastern Province University? Women, they always tend to worry unnecessarily.
