Chapter 020: The Principal's Little Braid

This was a question Lin Yi had been thinking about since yesterday. To say that Chu Pengzhan found him as a study companion for Chu Mengyao was not as good as hiring a high-level tutor to guide her studies.

"Did you figure it out too?" Fu Bo was surprised that Lin Yi had thought of these issues so quickly.

"Is it really like that?" Lin Yi asked.

"Actually, I don't understand Mr. Chu's intentions either," Fu Bo sighed. "Although I am the closest person to Mr. Chu, some of his deeper meanings are beyond my comprehension."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Fu Bo's unhelpful explanation.

"However, Mr. Chu instructed me to tell you to take good care of Miss Chu and not to think too much about it," Fu Bo repeated what Chu Pengzhan had said before leaving. "Try to give her some love... This child has lacked love since she was young..."

Lin Yi was speechless. What was this family up to? Lack of love? Could he give her love? What a joke! Yesterday, when Lin Yi didn't see Chu Mengyao, he was quite unenthusiastic about Chu Pengzhan's almost son-in-law-like approach. But after seeing the youthful and beautiful Chu Mengyao, he found the job wasn't so bad... Just, would Chu Mengyao like him? She probably wouldn't even tolerate him.

However, Lin Yi didn't say much to Fu Bo, just nodded and got out of the car.

"Did you find out who that worker was who kicked me yesterday?" Zhong Pinliang, rubbing his still swollen buttocks, frowned and asked. That person made him unable to sleep on his back all night, leaving his buttocks sore.

"No, last night, Zhang Naipao and I searched several construction sites, but we didn't see that person!" Gao Xiaofu shook his head and said, "Brother Liang, maybe he hasn't started working on the construction site yet?"

"Regardless, we must find this person. The hell, he dared to kick me, I won't let him off!" Zhong Pinliang said fiercely.

"Yes, Brother Liang!" Gao Xiaofu quickly assured him.

Lin Yi, with his schoolbag, entered the school. This feeling was truly wonderful, making Lin Yi feel infinitely happy. This was school life, the birthplace of first love.

Lin Yi's schoolbag was the single-shoulder black bag issued by the school, which was quite old-fashioned. Most students had replaced it with their own stylish bags, like Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu. Only the poorer students and Lin Yi still wore the school uniform and carried the free schoolbag.

How sharp was Lin Yi's eyes? As soon as he entered the school gate, he noticed Zhong Pinliang and his group. Weren't they the ones who were纠缠 (harassing) Chu Mengyao yesterday? But since they didn't provoke him, Lin Yi had no interest in dealing with them and walked past them directly.

"Brother Liang, that guy just now looked so familiar," Zhang Naipao said, looking at Lin Yi's back.

"I'm talking about serious matters, why do you care if he looks familiar or not?" Zhong Pinliang frowned impatiently.

"Brother Liang, I also find him familiar... It seems, it seems..." Gao Xiaofu scratched his head, deep in thought.

"Seems what? Can't you just spit it out?" Zhong Pinliang cursed.

"It seems he's the worker who kicked you yesterday!" Zhang Naipao suddenly shouted. "That's right, Brother Liang, it's that guy, I remember now!"

"Really?" Zhong Pinliang, hearing it was the guy who kicked him yesterday, immediately perked up. "What are you waiting for, go after him!"

"Go!" Gao Xiaofu and Zhang Naipao quickly chased after the direction Lin Yi had disappeared.

Lin Yi took his file to the school's registrar's office. All of this was arranged by Chu Pengzhan; he just needed to report in.

Lin Yi knocked on the door of the registrar's office, but no one came to open it. He looked at his watch; it was 7:45, and classes started at 8:00. Perhaps he had come a bit early.

Thinking about this, Lin Yi leaned against the door of the registrar's office, waiting quietly for the registrar to arrive.

"Uh... ah..." A faint moan reached Lin Yi's ears. Since practicing the Xuanyuan Yulong Jue, his hearing had become exceptionally sensitive. He couldn't say he had superhuman hearing, but he could hear many things others couldn't.

Lin Yi frowned, as the sound came from inside the registrar's office. Wasn't it supposed to be empty? But Lin Yi seemed to understand something and smiled slightly.

At 8:00 on the dot, the door of the registrar's office opened, and a woman in her thirties with a charming demeanor cautiously poked her head out of the office. She was startled to see Lin Yi standing at the door. "You... What are you doing here?"

Lin Yi found it somewhat amusing. If you're going to have an affair, at least be a bit more discreet. It's strange if you don't make people suspicious.

"I'm here to see the registrar, Mr. Wang," Lin Yi said indifferently, not wanting to expose her.

"Oh, Mr. Wang is inside," the woman tried to remain calm and said to Lin Yi, "You can go in."

Lin Yi nodded and entered the registrar's office. A middle-aged man with a slight bald spot was sitting at the desk, looking like a stern old scholar, which made Lin Yi find it somewhat amusing.

"You... What do you need?" Wang Zhifeng was startled to see a student come in right after his lover left.

"I'm Lin Yi, here to report in," Lin Yi took out his file and handed it to Wang Zhifeng.

"Oh, you're Lin Yi, I know," Wang Zhifeng nodded. This student was personally arranged by the board of directors; how could he forget? Wang Zhifeng took Lin Yi's file and started processing his registration.

Soon, the stamps were done, and Wang Zhifeng stood up and said, "I'll take you to your class."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang," Lin Yi said politely. He knew that the registrar had a lot of power in the school, and if he wanted to have a comfortable time, he couldn't offend this person.

"Hehe, it's my duty," Wang Zhifeng didn't dare to act superior, after all, this student was arranged by the board of directors. Walking out of the registrar's office with Lin Yi, Wang Zhifeng tentatively asked, "You just arrived?"

"I've been here for a while," Lin Yi thought there was no need to lie about such things. The school corridors had surveillance cameras, and if Wang Zhifeng wanted to check, he could do so directly.

"Then you..." Wang Zhifeng hesitated, not knowing how to say it. It was all his fault for acting on impulse and doing that in the morning. Now, he might be caught in a compromising situation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I didn't see or hear anything," Lin Yi said with a mischievous smile.
