Chapter 0020: The Principal's Little Braid

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

Moreover, for someone of Chu Mengyao's status, her academic performance was no longer so important. No matter what, she would go to university. Even if she didn't pass the exams, she could still enter top universities through Chu Pengzhan's connections.

"Did you notice that too?" Uncle Fu was surprised that Lin Yi had thought about these issues so quickly.

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

"To be honest, I don't understand Mr. Chu's intentions either," Uncle Fu sighed. "Although I am the closest person to Mr. Chu, I can't fully understand his deeper meanings."

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

"But Mr. Chu instructed me to tell you to take good care of Miss Chu and not to think too much about it." Uncle Fu 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 hadn't seen 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... However, would Chu Mengyao even like him? She probably couldn't stand him!

But Lin Yi didn't say much to Uncle Fu, 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, asked with a frown. That person had 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. "Brother Liang, maybe he hasn't started working on a construction site yet?"

"Regardless, we must find this person. How dare he kick me? I won't let him off!" Zhong Pinliang said fiercely.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Brother Liang, I also think he looks familiar... like, like..." Gao Xiaofu scratched his head, deep in thought.

"Like what? Spit it out already!" Zhong Pinliang cursed.

"It'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 person who kicked him, immediately perked up. "What are you waiting for? Chase him!"

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

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

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

Thinking this, Lin Yi leaned against the door of the administrative office, waiting quietly for the head of the office to arrive.

"Hmm... ah..." A faint moan reached Lin Yi's ears. Since practicing the Xuan Yuan Dragon Control Technique, his hearing had become exceptionally sensitive. He might not have the ability to hear from afar, but he could hear many things others couldn't.

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

At exactly 8:00, the door of the administrative office opened, and a woman in her thirties, with a mature charm, cautiously poked her head out. Seeing Lin Yi at the door, she was startled: "You... what are you doing here?"

Lin Yi found it somewhat amusing. If you're going to have an affair, at least be more discreet. It's hard not to be suspicious.

"I'm here to see the head of the administrative office, Mr. Wang." Lin Yi didn't bother to expose her and said calmly.

"Oh, Mr. Wang is inside." The woman tried to remain calm and said to Lin Yi, "Come in."

Lin Yi nodded and entered the administrative office. A middle-aged man with a slightly bald head was sitting at his 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 had 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 had been personally arranged by the board of directors; how could he forget? Wang Zhifeng took Lin Yi's file and started processing the paperwork.

Soon, after stamping the documents, Wang Zhifeng stood up and said, "I'll take you to your class."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Lin Yi politely replied. He knew that the head of the administrative office had significant power in the school. To have a comfortable life, he couldn't offend this person.

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

"I've been here for a while." Lin Yi didn't see the 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, unsure how to say it. He blamed himself for his impulsiveness, insisting on doing that in the morning, which could now be used against him.

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