Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Ji Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

"Ah."

Ling Heping nodded, and then repeated to Ji Yuan what he had just said to Li Haichao.

Ji Yuan pretended to frown and pondered, "Ling Xiao's mother is back. She wouldn't go looking for Ling Xiao, would she?"

Ling Heping paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "No, she's been gone for so many years, and she's never bothered Ling Xiao in all these years."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

I never bothered you before, but now it's hard to say.

Ji Yuan continued.

Ling Heping's smile also disappeared: "Xiao Ji, then you can keep an eye on things for me. If you really see Ling Xiao's mother going to him, you just pull Ling Xiao away and then call me."

"Okay, but Ling's dad, you need to be prepared. If something like this really happens, then Ling Xiao's mom is probably planning to come back and reap the rewards."

Now that Ling Xiao has grown up, his grades are good, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he's a promising candidate for Tsinghua or Peking University, with a limitless future.

"When Guozi was still small, she could just abandon her like that, and she hasn't cared for her all these years. You and Li's father have watered and fertilized her for so many years, and now that Guozi is ripe, you want to pick her back? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Ji Yuan continued to talk to Ling Heping for a few more minutes.

Ling Heping nodded: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs now."

As Ling Heping spoke, he added, "Chen Ting shouldn't be that shameless."

Ling Heping said this as he went out and went back upstairs.

Ji Yuan shook her head, but that's just how shameless they can be these days.

They don't just want to pick the fruit; they also want to take a jab at Li Haichao, who has been watering and fertilizing the land for so many years.

……

He Ziqiu was upstairs at that moment, talking to He Mei about the complicated situation of the Ling family.

He Mei was somewhat bewildered when she found out.

Then it dawned on me why all the children in the family disliked Ling Xiao's grandmother so much for calling Ling Heping earlier.

After He Ziqiu finished speaking, he also complained about Ling Xiao's grandmother several more times.

He Mei looked at He Ziqiu and said, "After all, she is Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother, who is related to him by blood. You can't keep saying that in front of Ling Xiao."

"Why can't we say that we are Ling Xiao's family? What kind of family is his maternal grandmother?"

That's just how He Ziqiu is.

He Mei thought for a moment and said, "Just think of it as not wanting to put Ling Xiao and your father in a difficult position."

"Fine……"

Upon hearing that it was for Ling Xiao and Ling's father, he immediately softened and agreed.

……

He Ziqiu quickly went downstairs and was about to return to 202 when his phone rang. He then turned around and went to 201.

"What is it?"

He Ziqiu entered Ji Yuan's room, sat down, and asked.

Ji Yuan told He Ziqiu about Chen Ting's plan to return to Xiamen for six months.

After hearing this, He Ziqiu said disdainfully, "Ling Xiao's mother is really shameless. She's already divorced from Ling's father, yet she still asks him to do things for her current daughter."

"Don't tell Ling Xiao or Li Jianjian. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid Ling Xiao's shameless mother will come and harass him..."

"She dares!"

He Ziqiu shouted excitedly.

"Why are you getting so worked up? Let me finish. In short, Ling's father told me to keep an eye on Ling Xiao."

However, I'm only a freshman, while you and Ling Xiao are seniors and in the same class. You should play less basketball recently and keep an eye on Ling Xiao more.

If you see Ling Xiao's mother going to find Ling Xiao, stop Ling Xiao and don't let him go. Call Ling Xiao's father directly.

Ji Yuan pressed down on He Ziqiu and said.

He Ziqiu nodded in understanding: "I will definitely keep a close eye on him."

……

The next day.

After starting school, He Ziqiu would sit down in his seat as soon as get out of class ended, his eyes fixed on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was completely confused.

"What are you doing?"

Ling Xiao asked in confusion.

"Don't worry about it."

He Ziqiu answered.

Ling Xiao: “???”

After several classes, He Ziqiu's good friend Zhuang Bei asked him to play basketball, but He Ziqiu refused through gritted teeth and just stared intently at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stayed in the classroom, and so did he.

Ling Xiao went to the toilet, and he went to the toilet too.

If Ling Xiao wasn't stupid, he could tell that He Ziqiu was watching him.

He just couldn't understand why He Ziqiu was staring at him if he had nothing better to do.

noon.

While eating lunch, He Ziqiu kept staring at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao: "..."

Ling Xiao remained silent for two seconds.

Then he asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

He Ziqiu asked, puzzled.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"It's none of your business if I'm watching you."

"..."

As they talked, Zhuang Bei sat down opposite He Ziqiu.

"Ziqiu, there's a competition later. You promised Class Two, you can't just skip the competition, can you?"

Zhuang Bei looked at He Ziqiu and said.

Upon hearing this, He Ziqiu immediately realized something was wrong.

He became conflicted.

Should we focus on the match or keep an eye on Ling Xiao?

He Ziqiu hesitated for a while, then a flash of inspiration struck him.

I want them all!

"I'm going to play a match later, you can come and watch."

He Ziqiu looked at Ling Xiao and said.

"No, I still need to do my homework."

Ling Xiao shook his head directly.

"No, you have to go!"

He Ziqiu's attitude was tough.

Ling Xiao looked at He Ziqiu and smiled: "Tell me what you want to do, why are you staring at me, and I'll go."

"That won't work..."

"Then I won't go."

"Okay, okay, but I don't know why, Ji Yuan told me last night to keep an eye on you. You can ask him yourself tonight."

He Ziqiu started lying.

Let's deal with what comes later first.

"He tells you to keep an eye on things, so you just do it?"

I don’t know why.”

Ling Xiao frowned slightly.

He Ziqiu's mind worked quickly, and he immediately waved his hand: "You know, he's very rich. With money, he'd let me not only keep an eye on you, but I'd even beat you up."

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes, then agreed to watch He Ziqiu's match: "Okay."

"Yes!"

He Ziqiu cheered happily.

……

After lunch.

Several boys from Class 1 and Class 2 of the third year of high school came to the basketball room to play a game, wearing basketball jerseys.

At the same time, many students from other grades and classes also came.

Ji Yuan, Li Jianjian, and He Ziqiu also came over.

The three of them came over and saw Ling Xiao.

The three of them sat down next to Ling Xiao.

"Big brother, you actually came to watch your brother play basketball!"

"How amazing! This is truly amazing!"

Li Jianjian sighed.

Ling Xiao looked at Ji Yuan helplessly: "You should ask Ji Yuan why you paid He Ziqiu to keep an eye on me."

He practically dragged me over to watch the game so he could keep an eye on me while he played.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately realized that He Ziqiu's understanding of staring and his own staring might not be the same thing.

but……

Who cares, it's all the same.

He remembered that Chen Ting came to find Ling Xiao when He Ziqiu was playing a basketball game, which meant it was around this time.

That's perfect, Ling Xiao has already been brought to the court.

"Don't ask. Don't ask questions you shouldn't know."

Ji Yuan said mysteriously.

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Ji Yuan; he was truly exasperated by these two old fools.
