Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by

The cold wind blew everywhere, making the dead leaves on the ground rustle.

In the silent street, the only sound could be heard: the young man repeating word by word, "I'm not going home", with a pleading tone in his voice.

Yi Jie's heart trembled. She took the boy's hand and lifted his sleeves. There was no scar! She lifted the clothes on his back, and there was no scar either!

……

Yi Jie checked all the places she could see, but there were no signs of domestic violence as expected. Could it be? Yi Jie's eyes were filled with fear. Could it be what she thought?

Yi Jie shook her head to drive away the absurd thought that flashed through her mind.

She felt guilty about sending the boy back now. If she called the police, he would probably run away. If she went to the banquet, she would have a hard time explaining why she brought someone there for no reason. Alas, it seemed that she had no choice but to take him home. Yi Jie looked at the boy with a melancholy look. God, you really know how to make trouble for me.

Yi Jie called Zhang Peiyao to explain the situation and said that it was not convenient for her to attend the banquet.

Zhang Peiyao was worried and offered to go back with her. Xiao Jie is a girl, what if this boy is a bad guy and hurts Xiao Jie?

Yi Jie knew Zhang Peiyao's concerns. The boy's clear eyes like a young animal appeared in her mind. She said to her mother, "Mom, don't worry. I know what's going on. I have my cell phone with me. If there is any problem, I will run away and call you immediately. Besides, I am very strong. Haven't you seen me move things before? Don't worry, your daughter is not a child anymore."

Zhang Peiyao recalled how Yi Jie easily carried several large packages by herself, and felt relieved: "Then you must stay alert. Mom will be back as soon as possible. You should be careful."

Yi Jie said a few words of comfort and then hung up the phone.

Turning around, the boy was squatting on the street waiting for her to finish the call. Looking at him now, he looked more like an abandoned puppy. Yi Jie's thoughts flew away for a while but were then pulled back to reality.

She walked up to the boy and said, "Hey, come home with me, but you have to show me your student ID. Do you have it with you? Or something that can prove your identity will do. Otherwise, I will be worried. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded, took out his student ID from his trouser pocket and handed it to Yi Jie.

Wenxian No. 628 High School, Grade , Class , Song Ruojue, a nice name. Yi Jie compared the photo on the student ID with the boy in front of her, and it was indeed the same person, so she let down her guard.

She waved to Song Ruojue, motioning him to follow her. Seeing this, Song Ruojue's eyes finally showed some spirit, and he quickly stood up and followed Yi Jie's pace.

Yi Jie planned to set some rules for Song Ruojue to prevent him from scaring his mother and brother at home. "Ahem, let me tell you a few conditions for living in my house. If you violate them, I will kick you out."

"I won't go back on my word. I'll listen to you." Song Ruojue connected it tightly, leaving no gaps, for fear that Yi Jie would go back on her word.

"First of all, you can't do anything to hurt yourself at home, and of course you can't hurt others!"

"Second, you have to tell me why you don't want to go home. If I take someone in for nothing like this, I have to know their background clearly. Otherwise, I'm taking a big risk."

Song Ruojue looked miserable again when she heard this request. Yi Jie said quickly, "Just tell me the basics. No need to go into too much detail. I need to know the situation before I can help you! I can't keep you at home like this. It's illegal. Besides, you have to go to school anyway. If you disappear, someone will look for you. You can't hide it forever."

Song Ruojue actually knew what Yi Jie said. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength and uttered a few words: "Okay, I'll tell you."

"Third, take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, and listen to me and my mother."

"I only listen to you." Song Ruojue's tone was unquestionable.

All right, that's enough for her to listen to me. Yi Jie couldn't think of any other requests for the time being, so she didn't mention it again.

The two walked one after the other, their steps were surprisingly coordinated.

After opening the door, Yi Jie changed her shoes and found Song Ruojue standing at the door with a bit of restraint. Yi Jie was puzzled: "Come in, why are you standing at the door?"

"I didn't change my shoes. My sneakers were worn outside and are quite dirty." Song Ruojue stared down at his sneakers and spoke. Following his line of sight, he noticed that he was wearing the latest model of AJ shoes, with some yellow mud on the edge of the shoes.

Unexpectedly, the crazy boy was quite polite, Yi Jie raised her eyebrows.

She took out a pair of summer slippers from the shoe rack and glanced at Song Ruojue's feet: "I think this is the only pair of shoes you can wear in my house. You can change into this pair first. I'll send a message to my mother to bring a pair of cotton slippers home later."

Song Ruojue waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no need to spend money, this pair is enough."

Yi Jie flicked the other side of his forehead where there was no wound: "You are being polite now. Why didn't you say anything when I just spent nearly a hundred dollars to buy medicine for your wound?"

Song Ruojue stammered, "I will make money to pay you back."

"Okay, stop talking so much. We'll talk about the future later. Just take whatever I give you. If you take care of your own life now, it will be your greatest thanks to me, okay?" Yi Jie stared at Song Ruojue, hoping that he could listen to her words.

Song Ruojue looked at Yi Jie for a second, then blushed and lowered her head: "Okay, I understand."

Yi Jie made a cup of hot cocoa she created for Song Ruojue, who was sitting awkwardly in the corner of the sofa. Everyone in the family loved it.

"Okay, drink something to warm yourself up. Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles." Yi Jie had already noticed his movements of covering his stomach intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah, no, I'm not hungry." Song Ruojue shook her head.

Yi Jie frowned. "What did I just say? Take care of yourself. Why are you holding your stomach if you're not hungry? You didn't have dinner, did you? How can I give you less food if I pick you up?"

Song Ruojue's ears turned red. "Then... thank you for your trouble. Thank you, thank you."

"Okay, just help me with more things in the future." Yi Jie walked towards the kitchen.

It doesn't take much time to cook a bowl of noodles. When Yi Jie came out of the kitchen with the noodles, Song Yujue was still holding the cup and sipping hot cocoa in small sips, as if he was drinking nectar.

"Let's eat the noodles first, otherwise they will get clumpy," Yi Jie waved to Song Ruojue.

Song Ruojue sat at the dining table, glanced at Yi Jie, and then wolfed down the noodles.

Tsk, how long has he been hungry? He doesn't look like he's been abused. Let's try to get him to talk about himself tonight.

In just two or three minutes, a large bowl of noodles was finished without a drop of noodle soup left. As the cook, Yi Jie was very happy.

Song Ruojue took the bowl and went into the kitchen to wash it. Yi Jie didn't stop him. It was his responsibility to do something within his ability.

"Crack!" No way? A bowl can be broken while being washed.

When Yi Jie walked into the kitchen, she saw Song Ruojue standing next to a pile of broken porcelain pieces, at a loss as to what to do. When she saw Yi Jie come in, she immediately showed a frightened expression, worried that Yi Jie would drive her out.

Yi Jie sighed: "Forget it, Master, just go sit on the sofa."

"I... can do it myself," Song Ruojue spoke in a voice smaller than a mosquito.

"No, lest you hurt yourself again, go sit on the sofa, right now!"

Yi Jie spoke in a commanding tone, and Song Ruojue indeed obediently left the kitchen.

While sorting out the broken porcelain pieces, Yi Jie put together the information in her mind: suicidal tendencies, polite, not good at housework, well-dressed, a senior high school student, afraid to go home. As her thoughts churned, Yi Jie felt as if she had grasped something.

After packing everything up, Yi Jie sat down next to Song Ruojue. He was still holding the cup in his hand and staring at it without blinking, not looking anywhere. What a fool.

When Yi Jie prepared her speech and was about to ask him what he had experienced, Song Ruojue seemed to sense something and said in a gentle voice, "Can you ask me questions tomorrow? Just wait one night."

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "Okay, just don't lie."

"I will not."

Yi Jie raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was already past seven o'clock. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before her mother and brother would be home.

She had no interest in sitting with Song Ruojue and staring at each other, so she casually took out a novel from the bookshelf in the room and threw it to him: "I have to do my homework, you can read a book, or watch TV, the remote control is on the table."

Song Ruojue took the book and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I won't make any more trouble."

Yi Jie ignored him and went back to her room to do her homework. Today was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and school would officially start after the Lantern Festival. In five days, she had to rush to City C to participate in a competition. She had practiced her speech very well, so she was not stage-frightened.

The question now is what to do with Song Ruojue? I don't know if I can handle his affairs before going to City C. I can't take him with me, right?

Besides, she remembered that the start time of senior year was always earlier than that of freshman and sophomore year. What if she took this guy in and delayed his school start?

Forget it, forget it, things will work out when the time comes. Just deal with it as it comes. Anyway, everything should be focused on her own business. She doesn't want to be a sucker and meddle in other people's business and lose her ability to do her own work.

"Sister, we are back!" Yi Chen's cheerful voice rang out along with the sound of the door closing.

Yi Jie walked out of the room and saw her mother, brother and Song Ruojue looking at each other in bewilderment. Song Ruojue had already stood up, holding the hem of her clothes on both sides, very nervous.

"Mom, Chenchen, this is Song Ruojue. Chenchen, can you help me take care of this brother?"

"These are my mother and brother, you don't have to be afraid."

Yi Jie introduced both parties to each other. As the only adult in the room, Zhang Peiyao quickly adapted and walked into the house.

"Xiao Jue, right? You will sleep with Chenchen tonight. I will prepare a towel and toothbrush for you later. As for clothes, there is nothing for boys of your age at home. You can only sleep in your own clothes. I will prepare another set tomorrow." Zhang Peiyao knew about what happened to Song Ruojue today from Yi Jie, so she did not mention his wound and spoke as gently as possible.

Song Ruojue was like a hedgehog with hair standing on end, alert all over. He stood straight without a single bit of relaxation. Was he afraid of his mother? Yi Jie found it incredible.

Zhang Peiyao sensed Song Ruojue's resistance and said, "You see, this child is quite introverted. Okay, I'm exhausted after working all day. Xiaojie, I'll put the things on Chenchen's bed. You can give them to Xiaojue later. I'll go to the room to rest for a while."

"Yeah, mom, you go and rest first." Yi Jie nodded to her mother.

After Zhang Peiyao entered the room, she, Yi Chen and the lonely Song Ruojue were the only ones left.

Yi Chen was very curious about the new handsome brother in the family. He came up to Song Ruojue and blinked and asked, "Brother, are you my sister's classmate? What's wrong with your forehead?"

Before Yi Jie could warn Yi Chen to stay away from Song Ruojue, she saw the little brat approaching her on his own. She was just about to pull Yi Chen away.

Song Ruojue answered Yi Chen's question in a rare gentle tone: "I'm not your sister's classmate. I just fell on my head accidentally."

Although I could still feel his nervousness, the feeling of resistance had completely disappeared.

"Is that so? Our teacher said that we should pay attention when walking and not be distracted. You should also pay attention in the future, brother." Yi Chen educated the person in front of him with a clear look, and Song Ruojue also cooperated.

Well, it seems that these two people can get along well, so she doesn’t have to bother dealing with them.

"Chenchen, you have to entertain this brother. I have to go and do some work. You can eat the snacks on the table, but eat less. Song Ruojue, please help me keep an eye on him and don't let him eat too much candy, otherwise he will get cavities."

Hearing the two people respond in unison, Yi Jie walked into the room to continue studying.

After finishing today's tasks at around ten o'clock, Yi Jie stretched herself, got up and went to the living room, where she found Yi Chen sleeping soundly on Song Ruojue's legs. Song Ruojue was sitting upright, and Ultraman was fighting monsters on TV.

Yi Jie thought this scene was cute and took out her cell phone to record this moment.

Hearing the sound of the camera clicking, Song Ruojue noticed Yi Jie who was peeking. He had relaxed a lot and gave Yi Jie a faint smile.

Not to mention, this was the first time Yi Jie saw him smile today, and this little look was quite endearing.

"I didn't expect you and Chenchen to get along so well."

"Chenchen, you are very obedient," Song Ruojue gently touched Yi Chen's soft hair.

Yi Jie walked over to pick up Yi Chen and put him on the bed to sleep, but Song Ruojue took a step ahead and picked up Yi Chen: "Let me do it, where is his room?"

Yi Jie took him into Yi Chen's room in confusion and watched him help Yi Chen take off his shoes, socks, and coat, and tuck in the quilt for him without making any sound.

Yi Jie probably couldn't even be so gentle. What a strange person she was.

"Hey, here are your towels and toothbrushes. I'll take you to the bathroom, and you should wash up and rest early."

"Okay, you too, go to bed early."

When everything was quiet, Yi Jie lay on the bed thinking about the day's experiences and talking to Chi Chi.

"Eat, eat, why do you think he is so weird?"

"This still needs the host to discover it himself."

"You must know, right?"

"I don't know."

"Humph, you're kidding me. He'll tell me tomorrow anyway, so you don't have to tell me."

"Okay, host, a friendly reminder, the Elite Cup Speech Contest will start in five days, please take care of your affairs in time."

"Oh." Yi Jie glared at Chi Chi in her heart.
