81. Unexpected Guest

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Teacher, why are you asking that?” Ling Fan raised his eyebrows and asked in a not so friendly tone.

Ling Fan held high doubts about Luo Li’s sudden ‘concern’.

“Nothing, I just suddenly thought of your family situation. As your head teacher, I should show some concerns,” Luo Li said with a smile, his expression was sincere and decent.

If it was in his past life, when he heard Luo Li’s words, he would’ve probably jumped up in joy. But now, he only thought it was ridiculous?

Would Luo Li care about him? And at this time?

Haha, what kind of joke was it? He should already feel lucky that he didn’t think of how to deal with a chess piece that had had abandoned earlier…

Ling Fan sneered in his heart, then replied lightly, “Oh.”

Towards Ling Fan’s unwillingness to cooperate, a trace of dissatisfaction and disgust flashed across Luo Li’s eyes, but he hid it well.

“I heard that something happened to your father, and that your mother doesn’t live with you. Is that the case?” asked Luo Li.

“Mm,” Really did a good background investigation…

“So, you’re living alone?” Luo Li’s eyes flashed and he asked.

There was still a monotonous response, but Ling Fan started to think about it…

Luo Li was not the kind of person who would not waste his precious time to care so much about his student’s family situation without any other reasons.

And… There were not many things that could make Luo Li care about…

Ling Fan’s eyes darkened. He had a vague guess about Luo Li’s solicitous performance.

“Well…Has anyone in your family been here recently?” Luo Li calmed down and asked the main topic of his conversation today.

What should he care about what one of his students was doing? What he wanted to know was whether Chu Xiao had ever been there.

“People often come at my house…you know…” Ling Fan said leisurely.

If he was just guessing before, then when Luo Li asked so, he could be sure that Luo Li should know that Chu Xiao was at his place, although he might not be sure.

Although it was unknown how Luo Li knew Chu Xiao’s whereabouts, Ling Fan had never doubted Luo Li’s capability after two lifetimes.

However…

“I don’t think it seems to have much to do with you, teacher, right?” Ling Fan said coldly, his cold tone stunned Luo Li.

Yeah, he almost forgot that this student was no longer the cowardly child he could bully as he wanted like before.

“Hehe, I am just concerned about you. After all, you live alone…if you meet any danger, or got any strange getting in your house, you got to be careful. Even there is anything you can’t solve, you can tell me or the school,” Luo Li said with a stiff smile.

“Oh, thank you for your concern, but… my family is fine,” Ling Fan said, not planning to continue Luo Li’s words.

“If teacher has nothing else, then I will leave first,” Ling Fan said without giving Luo Li the chance to continue asking.

Obviously, Luo Li should have known Chu Xiao’s whereabouts. Although he didn’t know what he planned to do next, Ling Fan only wanted to go home now.

Back in the classroom, before Ling Fan had time to pack his schoolbag, several students surrounded him.

“Heh heh, Ling Fan, tell us, how did Teacher Luo praise you? Is there any encouragement of love?”

After all, there weren’t many teachers as young and good-looking as Luo Li in school. It wasn’t strange that he would be their sexual fantasy.

“No.” The corner of Ling Fan’s mouth twitched and he said briefly.

Encouragement of love? What the hell?

However, they obviously did not believe Ling Fan’s words.

“Stop pretending. You’ve been there for so long and didn’t get any praise. Who would believe that? You’ve entered the top three of the whole school this time!”

“That’s right! To celebrate our Young Master Ling getting the third place, how about we go out and have some fun tonight?”

“I agree. How about have board game and then get some kebabs?”

“Yes, good idea…”

These people were quite close to him after Ling Fan became “Master Ling”. Obviously, they were very enthusiastic about helping him celebrate.

“We’ll talk about it next time. I still got things to do at home,” Ling Fan smiled and rejected their invitation.

He did have something to do.

“Oh come on, what can you do at home?”

“Yes…”

“Feed…Ahem, I mean to cook dinner,” Ling Fan said.

However, the girls on the side were obviously more interested in the first word “feed”.

“Feed? Master Ling, do you have any little animals in your house? Like a little puppy? ”

“Or a little hamster? Otherwise, a kitten?”

The corner of Ling Fan’s mouth twitched when he saw the girls’ eyes shining brightly.

“A tiger,” Ling Fan said in an earnest way, then he carried his schoolbag and waved his hand at those people.

“Holy crap…Master Ling, even if you don’t wanna hang out with us, don’t mess around with us…” As they watched Ling Fan leave, those people behind complained.

However, Ling Fan had already left the classroom without looking back.

Mess around with them? He didn’t mess around.

The one at home…wasn’t he a tiger?

Puppy? Hamster? Little kitten?…Hehe, if Chu Xiao heard these words, what kind of expression would he wear?

Ling Fan thought viciously.

Then subconsciously sped up.

Although he didn’t know when Luo Li would start taking action after knowing Chu Xiao’s whereabouts, it was better for him to go back early.

However…

Before Ling Fan returned home, someone arrived earlier.

Of course, it wasn’t Luo Li.

In the room, when Chu Xiao heard the sound of keys opening the door outside, he just thought that Ling Fan was back.

“Today, you…”

“Fortunately Fan hasn’t changed his lock yet…”

“You…”

A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Xiao’s eyes when he saw the person who came in.

–It wasn’t Ling Fan!

Looking at Chu Xiao in the house, Gu Ziming also looked surprised and embarrassed.

“This is Ling Fan’s home…isn’t it?” So strange. Ling Fan told him that he hadn’t moved away.

“Yes,” Chu Xiao replied indifferently, and at the same time, he quickly found the key point in his heart–this person should be acquainted with Ling Fan. It should be someone he knew. But he had never heard of such a person. The point was that the other party actually had the keys to Ling Fan’s house!

He didn’t think that he would have given his keys to someone not close enough.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao’s eyes sank, and even his gaze towards Gu Ziming became cold.

“Hehe, it’s good that I didn’t make a mistake.” Gu Zi smiled and looked at Chu Xiao, “Then may I ask you…?”

He had never heard that Ling Fan had any friend or what. Could this be the friend Ling Fan mentioned in the hospital?

Sizing up and down at Chu Xiao, Gu Ziming was also thinking in his heart.

But… The feeling that this person gave him was, even if he couldn’t understand it, he could still feel that the other side was not an ordinary one. How would Ling Fan know such a person?

“A friend of his, I only stay for a while.” Chu Xiao’s answer was very simple, so simple that he didn’t let Gu Ziming get any useful information from it.

“Then who are you?” asked Chu Xiao.

“I… My name is Gu Ziming. Hehe, Fan and I have known each other for many years.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I lived in the neighborhood before, and I watched Fan grow up. Fan often got starved before, and I often brought him food.” Gu Ziming smiled and said, “What? Hasn’t Fan come back from school?”

“No.” However, it should be about time…

“Hehe, then I’ll wait for him. Coincidentally, there’s no evening shift today, so I brought some food for him.”

“Right, I’ve been busy before. Speaking of which, I haven’t been here for a long time. Fortunately, the lock hasn’t changed.” Gu Ziming naturally pulled the chair beside him over and said with a smile.

However, when he was talking about Fan this and Fan that, he didn’t notice that Chu Xiao’s face had already darkened like charcoal.

Uh, he actually noticed it, but… the invisible pressure of the other party made him feel very uncomfortable, so… to say these, it seemed he was able to ease the atmosphere and let him feel a little…superiority….

“Ling Fan had some bad time when he was little?” Chu Xiao interrupted Gu Ziming’s words.

“Well, Fan was quite pitiful before. His father was missing before he was born. His mother didn’t care much about him, basically let him live on himself. Later, I heard that she was remarried…” Gu Ziming said with a frown, and he was thinking that he should be more concerned about this little brother who he had been watching.

Listening to Gu Ziming’s narration, Chu Xiao frowned.

So…was it because of this that Ling Fan grew mature so early? He even had nine-figure assets before he was 18?

“What kind of relatives did Ling Fan have, or did he have…”

Before Chu Xiao could finish his question, a familiar door-opening sound was heard.

The male lead, who the two of them had been talking about for a long time, returned.

“Brother Ziming?” Looking at Gu Ziming who suddenly showed up at his home, Ling Fan was a little surprised.

Although Gu Zi was a frequent visitor of his family before, since the other party moved away, it seemed that he had never come again. In addition, it was so in his past life.

“Why are you so surprised? I got off work early to today, so I came to see you. I brought you food, all of which you liked before.”

“Thank you, Brother Ziming,” Ling Fan smiled and said. Although he was surprised, Gu Ziming’s arrival still made Ling Fan feel quite warm.

Hmm… It could be considered a formal concern from others, right?

“Brother Ziming, why don’t you stay for dinner?”

“No, I still got things to do later, and you have a guest home, it is not quite convenient. You will have a lot of opportunities to invite me to dinner in the future.” Gu Ziming said with a light smile.

Mainly… Ling Fan, his “friend”, seemed to look unfriendly.

“Oh, then I’ll send you down.”

“Hehe, you still have a bit conscience, but no need, go eat your food.” Gu Ziming said, and then raised his hand and patted Ling Fan’s head like before.

Ling Fan was actually half a head taller than Gu Ziming already, so it was a bit strange when Gu Ziming did such an action.

However, it was very intimate!

This was how Chu Xiao felt.
