After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Thirteen: She really got off easy.

"Do you like it?" My mother gently stroked my hair.

"I love it!" I said happily. "Mom, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?" My mom and I leaned our heads together. "It's Mom who's thanking you. With you here, Mom has confidence."

"Oh, right!" I remembered, "I forgot to tell Huo Yushen that we've switched places!"

My mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already told him."

I breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, at least he didn't make a wasted trip."

"Yan Yan, Mom will be very busy starting tomorrow," my mom said, looking at me with concern.

I know that my mother is most likely going to start her own business.

"Mom, do my uncles and the others know?" I couldn't help but ask.

"So what if they know? Can they still beat Shen Yuan up?" my mother said sarcastically.

I know that since my grandfather passed away, my mother has had less and less say in his company.

Nowadays, my uncle and aunt are in charge of the company.

"Your mom is going to start her own business." My mom laughed, "The more they look down on me, the more I want to prove that even after being a housewife for several years, I can still make a name for myself when I return to society and will never be looked down upon by them!"

"Mom, I believe in you!" I encouraged her. "I will always be your support and your safe haven!"

My mom hugged me and smiled happily.

The doorbell rang.

"It must be Huo Yushen, I'll go open the door!" I turned and left.

My mother was behind me, her expression gentle.

I opened the door and saw Huo Yushen, somewhat surprised: "What happened to your face?"

Huo Yushen gently covered the wound on his cheek with his hand: "I got it by accident."

"Come in," I said, inviting him inside.

"Little Huo is here." My mom came over and said, "Thank you for your help again today."

"Auntie, you're too kind," Huo Yushen said with a gentle smile.

"Is your face alright?" my mom asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Huo Yushen replied.

My mom said, "Then you guys go to your rooms for class. I'll tidy up a bit, and we'll have dinner in a little while."

Huo Yushen nodded.

I looked at the injury on his cheek and said, "Let me put some medicine on it for you. You really don't care."

"I'm really fine," Huo Yushen emphasized.

I led him to the room.

"Although I just moved here, I happen to have iodine swabs and band-aids in my backpack." I rummaged through my backpack and took them out.

Huo Yushen stood to the side.

"Sit down," I said, pointing to the chair in front of the desk.

He put down his schoolbag and sat down obediently.

I took the iodine swabs and bandages and went over to him, then bent down to treat his wound.

When I applied the medicine to him, he slightly flinched back.

"Don't move," I commanded.

He didn't move an inch.

I was satisfied: "Okay, but your wound shouldn't get wet. It will heal in a few days."

"Thank you." Huo Yushen's face turned red for some reason.

Was I too close?

"You're welcome." I threw the used cotton swab into the trash can. "By the way, did Huo Yubai mention anything about school?"

"Yes." Huo Yushen nodded. "I've heard about it."

"That's good." I explained, "I was afraid you wouldn't know, but thankfully the culprit has been caught."

"Are you alright?" He looked at me with his deep black eyes.

"I'm fine. Actually, I'm happy for my mom that my parents got divorced. You only meet the right person when you leave the wrong one," I explained.

“…That’s good.” Huo Yushen hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Are you afraid I might do something rash?" I blinked.

"After all, there's another illegitimate daughter." Huo Yushen's face darkened.

“An illegitimate daughter only takes away a father’s love,” I said nonchalantly. “But she can’t take away a mother’s love.”

"Don't you hate him?" Huo Yushen's eyes were clear and bright.

"I hate it, but there's no need for me to sigh and complain about it." I smiled and said, "Right now, studying is the most important thing for me. I won't think about anything else."

Huo Yushen nodded in relief: "That's good."

"Let's begin the lesson, Teacher Huo." I took out my books.

"Hmm." His ears secretly turned red.

I moved a chair over and sat down next to him to start the lesson.

We went out for dinner halfway through.

My mom ordered takeout.

After dinner, we continued studying until 9:30 p.m.

I walked him downstairs.

He still came by bicycle today.

"Huo Yushen." I stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your comfort today. Actually, I wanted to comfort you too."

He looked puzzled.

I pointed to his cheek, to the spot corresponding to his wound: "Don't take some things to heart. You're a student now, and maybe you can't escape that cage yet. When you have freedom, you'll look back and find that these hardships may not be so important. I don't know if I'm qualified to say this, but I hope you won't be too sad."

Huo Yushen's eyes were deep. "Actually, this injury was left by my mother."

I was surprised.

"But I will remember what you said." Huo Yushen's thin lips curved slightly. "See you tomorrow."

"Okay!" I nodded. "By the way, go back and tell Huo Yubai that he hasn't added me as a friend yet."

Huo Yushen paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand. Goodbye."

I watched him leave.

Go home.

I saw that Huo Yubai added me as a friend.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yubai's WeChat profile picture was a white cloud.

It doesn't feel like him at all.

Me: Your brother just left. Did you study today?

Huo Yubai: Long-winded.

I:……

Huo Yubai: I'm studying hard, so don't worry about me.

Me: I didn't want to either, but it's a rumor, a rumor!

Huo Yubai: I understand.

Me: Good luck!

Huo Yubai: You keep it up too.

For some reason, seeing his encouragement made me want to laugh.

He must be looking disgusted right now.

-

Another day.

Before class.

The principal came to our classroom.

He informed us that Wang Jing would no longer be our homeroom teacher, but would continue to teach us only for the Chinese language exams.

Mu Xi and I were quite surprised by the result.

But there is no way.

The first class was Wang Jing's class.

She still looked at me with disdain, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously.

after class.

Mu Xi said angrily, "She got off too easy!"

"Don't be angry," I comforted her. "This shows that she used a lot of connections, probably the parents of students she had acquainted with before. But these connections are only used once, and she won't get a second chance."

Mu Xi understood: "That's right. Anyway, with her personality, she's probably going to crash and burn again."

"Okay!" I nodded. "Don't think about it anymore. The monthly exam is in two weeks. Let's focus on studying."

The words have not yet fallen.

Gu Heng walked up to me and placed two notebooks in front of me: "These are my physics and chemistry review materials. The scope of this exam will definitely be covered here."
