"Still angry?"
There was a hint of amusement in Ji Chengxuan's voice. Hearing this, Yun Que'er, who was sitting in the back, stared at Ji Chengxuan's back with a more menacing look.
If her eyes could shoot out knives, Ji Chengxuan would have been pierced through by now.
"Hey, don't be so stingy, okay?"
Hearing Ji Chengxuan's flippant tone, Yun Que'er finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Ji Chengxuan, I really don't understand what counts as a joke and what counts as being stingy in your eyes. If I get angry because of your joke, does that prove not that your joke was too much, but that I'm narrow-minded?"
Ji Chengxuan suddenly fell silent.
It seems... there really is a bit of truth to that, huh?
"I'm sorry." After a long time, Ji Chengxuan said.
Yun Que'er suddenly looked up.
It had been many years since she heard such words from Ji Chengxuan's mouth. It was really a pleasant surprise.
"Don't say that." Yun Que'er turned her head away, "It's as if I forced you to say so."
Hearing Yun Que'er say this, Ji Chengxuan knew that Yun Que'er wasn't angry anymore. She was still as easy to coax as before.
He smiled softly, "But then again, since we've traveled here, we will always grow up and get married. Who do you want to marry in the future?"
Yun Que'er felt a headache from Ji Chengxuan's question, "Big brother, that's something that won't happen for who knows how many years. How would I know if you asked me now?"
Ji Chengxuan couldn't help but look back at Yun Que'er, "Even if it's something you plan on doing many years later, you should still have a rough idea in your heart, right? You also lived to be in your twenties in your past life. Don't you have an ideal type or something?"
Yun Que'er suddenly stopped talking.
Ji Chengxuan thought for a bit, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Little Que'er, don't tell me you're a virgin."
"Shut your dog mouth!" Yun Que'er scolded loudly, "Whether I've dated or not has nothing to do with you!"
Ji Chengxuan simply laughed out loud unrestrainedly. What greeted him was a series of punches from Yun Que'er.
"Hey! Stop hitting me! I'm going to be beaten to death by you!"
Ji Chengxuan dodged in pain, but there was no trace of dodging in the smile on his lips.
Yun Que'er couldn't stand it anymore and gave Ji Chengxuan a violent hit on the head.
"Shut up!"
"Stop hitting me! Be careful!"
Ji Chengxuan wasn't paying attention and suddenly rushed towards a tree in front of him.
Fortunately, Ji Chengxuan's driving skills were still pretty good. He suddenly turned the steering wheel and only then managed to dodge it.
"Phew..." Ji Chengxuan let out a long breath of turbid air and looked at the tree beside him with lingering fear.
"I said, you almost caused such a big accident even while sitting in the back. If I let you ride by yourself, you wouldn't fall to your death!"
Yun Que'er looked at him with a guilty face and pretended to be calm as she said.
"How, how can you blame me? I just don't ride well, not that I don't know how to ride. Besides, you're the one riding the bike. How can you blame me?"
"I can't argue with you." Ji Chengxuan sighed, "In any case, it's your bad luck. I almost crashed into it!"
"Ji Chengxuan! Are you looking for a beating again?"
Ji Chengxuan helplessly grabbed Yun Que'er's wrist, "Alright, alright, ancestor. Can we hurry up and go to school? The first class is the old man's class. If we're late, we'll be in for a rough time."
The old man was their homeroom teacher. He was in his fifties this year and was almost at retirement age. Yun Que'er and the others were the last batch of students the old man taught.
He taught mathematics and was highly qualified, but he was also very serious.
Especially towards his last batch of students, the old man paid even more attention.
Every time they had his class, it was like walking through purgatory on earth. Even for people like Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan who had lived two lifetimes and were especially good at their studies, they would be covered in cold sweat after a class. Let alone being late for his class.
Thinking of this, Yun Que'er suddenly shivered and quickly urged Ji Chengxuan.
"Let's hurry up!"
"Now you're in a hurry to urge me." Ji Chengxuan sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone whistle from across the road.
Ji Chengxuan subconsciously turned his head to look.
He originally thought it was some hooligan who passed by, but he was shocked when he saw who it was.
Wasn't that Zhang Hui?
Yun Que'er also looked over. Seeing that Zhang Hui was also looking in their direction, Yun Que'er's gaze sank.
Seven years ago, Zhang Hui tricked all of the Yun family's money away and caused them to return to square one overnight.
If it weren't for the care and help of Old Doctor Ji and Li Chengfu, not only would they have to return to Yuhe Village, but Yun Yi and Yun Que'er wouldn't have the money to go to school either.
On the other hand, Zhang Hui's family background wasn't that good. He had a bit of intelligence but didn't use it on the right path. After tricking Yun Jianzhou's money away, he actually managed to live a good life.
He did some small business and could barely be considered a family with a bit of money. From time to time, he would gather his friends and hang out with them.
Smoking, drinking, and chasing girls. As long as it wasn't the right path in the eyes of the world, they did it.
The Yun family originally didn't know about this, but Zhang Hui was so arrogant that he felt that it wasn't enough for him to enjoy it himself. He actually brought his friends to show off in front of the Yun family's door.
It was fine that they blocked the door and talked loudly every other day. Once, when he was drunk, he even said arrogantly that the Yun family thought Yun Jianzhou was a disgrace and kicked him out of the house. Now, Yun Jianzhou might have already died outside.
Yun Que'er was so angry that her lungs were on fire every time she heard this. She wanted to go out and give Zhang Hui a good beating.
However, at that time, the family had just suffered a heavy blow. They really couldn't cause any other problems. They could only hide every time Zhang Hui came. Out of sight, out of mind.
Zhang Hui didn't know how to restrain himself. He thought that the Yun family was afraid of him, so he became even more excessive.
Seeing that Yun Yi was in her teens and was becoming more and more beautiful, he actually had evil intentions.
He gathered some people on Yun Yi's way home from school and blocked Yun Yi. He insisted on going out with Yun Yi and promised that he would be able to make Yun Yi live a good life.
Yun Yi refused and scolded Zhang Hui for being shameless. She also revealed all of his "deeds" of getting rich.
This touched Zhang Hui's reverse scale. In a fit of rage, Zhang Hui slapped Yun Yi hard twice. He wasn't satisfied even after hitting Yun Yi dizzy. He actually made his underlings violate Yun Yi.
Fortunately, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival at that time.
Yun Jianzhou hadn't returned home for three years and finally earned enough money. He felt that he finally had the face to come back and see his family. He rushed back that day.
When he saw that Yun Yi hadn't returned for a long time, he went out to look for her himself. He happened to run into that scene.
At that time, Yun Yi's clothes had already been torn open halfway. If Yun Jianzhou had been a bit later...
Everyone who recalled this afterwards felt a cold sweat. Yun Jianzhou was so angry that his eyes were red. He gave Zhang Hui and those scumbags a good beating and then sent them to the police station.
However, Zhang Hui was sentenced to five years. Why did he come out so quickly?
