Chapter 8

Watching Wang Wuyin's back, Ni Yunxia several times wanted to drive her car to Wang Wuyin's side and say something to him, but she held back. Out of a woman's intuition, Ni Yunxia had a vague feeling that Wang Wuyin's fight with Dai Qiang today might be related to Dai Qiang's harassment of her. She wanted to say something to Wang Wuyin, but she had no idea how to start, because before today, Wang Wuyin had been too ordinary, with nothing outstanding about him. Although she had taught him physics for a year, she had almost never paid much attention to this ordinary student from Class 1, Grade 2. However, everything Wang Wuyin did today completely overturned all her previous impressions of him, making her feel a bit curious and a little worried...

Just now, Ni Yunxia called Teacher Cao and learned about the school's punishment for Wang Wuyin. Ni Yunxia understood that for a student about to enter Grade 3, a one-semester suspension might seem light, but it was actually very cruel. However, Wang Wuyin's fight with Dai Qiang at school was a serious matter, and the school had to impose a punishment.

Next to Ni Yunxia in the passenger seat sat a vibrant beauty named Lan Ziqi, who was Ni Yunxia's cousin.

Lan Ziqi looked to be around 24 or 25, with her hair tied in two pigtails. Her eyes were surrounded by a deep blue iridescent eyeshadow. Her impressive figure pushed up the chest of her black Chanel T-shirt, and below it, she wore a red Gucci leather skirt that looked like fire. Under the skirt were flawless long legs that would make any man drool. The few delicate accessories on her hands and neck were worth a fortune, and just the Van Cleef & Arpels Lover's Bridge on her wrist, which looked cartoonish and unconventional, was worth nearly a million.

As Ni Yunxia was lost in thought looking at Wang Wuyin's back, Lan Ziqi, who was chewing gum, also followed her gaze and sized up Wang Wuyin's back. "Cousin, this is really interesting. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I came to Nangjiang to find you. This is the student who saved you at school today, right? I can't believe he's so young and could beat that fat pig at your school so badly. I thought he'd be at least a handsome senior. What a pity, he's too young, not my type at all. I'd feel embarrassed to even think about it, hehe. Do you like him, Cousin? A teacher-student romance, how romantic..."

Ni Yunxia's cheeks turned slightly red, and she glared at Lan Ziqi. She knew her cousin was just joking, but such a joke still made her feel embarrassed. "Don't talk nonsense. No matter what, he helped me out today. He's one of my students. I just called Teacher Cao, and he said Wang Wuyin's family situation is very poor. His parents passed away a few years ago, and he has been living with his uncle's family, who have been very strict with him. The situation isn't good. Now that the school has suspended him for a semester, his college entrance exam will definitely be delayed, and his future might be ruined. I'm thinking about how to help him..."

Hearing that Wang Wuyin's parents were no longer around, Lan Ziqi's playful expression vanished, and she became more serious. "His name is Wang Wuyin?"

"Um, what's the matter?"

"Wuyin, that's a pretty grand name. Nice. I can't stand those names that sound like romance novel protagonists, like Zhuo Heng, Mo Xi, and Luo Yu. They give me goosebumps!"

"I'm talking about something serious here!"

"Hey, I'm being serious too, Cousin. I like this boy's name. I didn't expect his family to be so poor. It's a problem for him to be out of school at his age; he might go astray. Considering he saved you today, why don't you let him come to Yandu? I can arrange a light job for him at my club. It won't interfere with his studies, and he can learn something. I'll start him at ten thousand a month. If he doesn't do well in the college entrance exam, he can become a yoga instructor or something, dedicating his life to beauty and health. At least he can support himself easily..."

Lan Ziqi's words made Ni Yunxia a bit hesitant. She knew her cousin, though lively and playful, had a broad perspective and a sharp mind. Her family background was extraordinary, and she was a born princess. If Wang Wuyin were to have her cousin's help, his future would definitely be far better than just going to college. Lan Ziqi's current yoga club was just a hobby. A few years ago, her cousin graduated from the London Film School and then went to India to learn yoga. Even as a hobby, the club had become one of the top high-end yoga studios in Yandu, with very high annual profits. Previously, when her cousin was studying in the UK, she would come back during holidays to manage a winery. Now, that winery, which specializes in importing wines from South Africa and Australia, has become a big business, earning billions each year. But her cousin had lost interest and left it to her subordinates to manage.

"Um, I'll go back and check, and get more information from Teacher Cao before I decide..." Ni Yunxia didn't refuse outright but didn't want to cause trouble for her cousin, so she wanted to learn more about Wang Wuyin's situation first.

"That Dai Qiang looks like a pig, and he's even a vice-principal. How dare he have designs on you, Cousin? I'll take care of him..."

"Don't cause any trouble..." Ni Yunxia was suddenly very scared. Wang Wuyin's fight with Dai Qiang was a small matter, but if her cousin got involved, it could become a big issue. She knew very well how powerful her cousin was, a fearless little devil.

Lan Ziqi smiled slyly, her beautiful eyes twinkling. "Don't worry, Cousin. I know my limits. I won't interfere with your noble work as a teacher. It's not hard to get that student back to school..."

"Really? You have a way to get him back to school? That would be great!"

"Do you want him to return to school?"

Ni Yunxia thought for a moment. "As a student, his studies are important. Think about it, if we hadn't taken the college entrance exam, we would have regretted it. If he doesn't do well in the exam, you can help him out later..."

"Don't worry, Cousin, it's a small matter!" Lan Ziqi said casually.

"You should find a boyfriend. You're so old and still running around everywhere..."

"Ah, I want to, but there's no real man around me. If there were a real man, I'd marry him right away!"

"What is a real man? You're just too picky!"

"A real man, I don't know what he's like!" Lan Ziqi's bright eyes showed a hint of confusion as she murmured, "He's not one of those guys who are more into makeup and face masks than I am, not those old men who pretend to be elegant and profound in front of me, not those guys who only think about sleeping with women, and not those ambitious men who use women to climb the social ladder and gain wealth and power. A real man is both a beast and a philosopher. He can wield a kitchen knife and ride into battle. He doesn't need me to help him conquer the world; he is the world. He can cuddle with me on the sofa, eating chips and watching TV, and he can stand alone under the stars, lost in deep thought. If I were ever in trouble, he would come to my rescue like Sun Wukong or the Terminator, riding a rainbow cloud or a war vehicle, and he would find a beautiful flower to gently place in my hair. If there were such a man, I would be willing to die after just one day with him..."

"You're just being idle..." Ni Yunxia said irritably, poking Lan Ziqi's head. "Your uncle and aunt shouldn't have let you go to the London Film School to study directing. You people are always daydreaming, too perfectionistic, and you've become an old maid!"

"Haha, so be it. I'm only delaying myself, not others!" Lan Ziqi laughed, sticking out her tongue. "Cousin, go home quickly. I miss Niuniu. I brought her a gift, and I want to sleep with her tonight..."

At Lan Ziqi's urging, the red MINI parked by the roadside finally moved and disappeared into the night.
