Mr. Lin, who originally possessed the demeanor of a perfect butler, with a standard smile, proficient in both literary and military arts, now furrows his brows, wearing a pained expression.
Ruan Yan remained silent, not eager to engage in conversation.
His phone was working fine; if it weren’t for Chu Nan meddling with him, he wouldn’t have smashed it.
But this was the consistent style of his family, something Ruan Yan couldn’t interfere with, so he didn’t say more.
Standing coldly, Ruan Yan, seeing Mr. Lin’s distress, felt even more heartache.
Young Master… has always been so frugal, yet he used the same phone for a whole month.
Mr. Lin trembled emotionally, saying, “Young Master, it must be because your usual pocket money is too little, making you feel insecure and afraid to spend normally. I will immediately inform Master and Madam to increase your monthly allowance by five million yuan, while also purchasing valuable jewelry and real estate for collection, steadily increasing your personal wealth.”
Ruan Yan remained silent.
As Mr. Lin spoke, he suddenly paused, reaching for his phone in his pocket, and said fiercely, “Since the young master’s phone has lasted a whole month, I’m not worthy of using the new phone I just got yesterday. I want to share the same hardships as the young master.”
After saying that, Mr. Lin raised his hand, and though Ruan Yan’s expression remained unchanged, his eyelids twitched fiercely.
He reached out and grabbed Mr. Lin’s wrist as he was about to smash the phone, saying, “Uncle Lin, I understand your intentions, but I don’t care about these things right now. I only need one phone.”
Mr. Lin nodded and immediately made a call with his phone, instructing someone to bring over the latest and custom-made phones.
Before Ruan Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, Mr. Lin continued, “Young Master, the phones will be delivered soon. But my phone must still be smashed. Master and Madam are often busy outside, entrusting you to me since you were young, but I haven’t taken care of you properly…”
After speaking, Mr. Lin was about to raise his hand to smash the phone into two halves.
Ruan Yan’s voice was cold and fast-paced, “Uncle Lin, it’s just a phone, you don’t need to attach so much importance to it.”
He paused for a moment, his expression devoid of emotion as he endured the shame, “After all, our family is wealthy, we don’t care about mere phones.”
Mr. Lin immediately smiled with joy, “Young Master, you finally understand.”
Ruan Yan gave a shameful “Hmm.”
His real-life family was exactly the same as the ones in books, but Ruan Yan still had some moral principles.
Although his family was obviously wealthy for generations, the extravagant lifestyle made him feel ashamed.
When the phones arrived, Ruan Yan picked one, while Mr. Lin eagerly eyed the remaining phones.
Ruan Yan suddenly felt uneasy, “Uncle Lin, what are you going to do with those?”
Mr. Lin smiled faintly, “They were chosen by the young master but not favored by him. According to the rules, they cannot be chosen by others again.”
Ruan Yan: … Do you think this is selecting a concubine?
He said coldly, “Send them back.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Mr. Lin felt a little disappointed but still didn’t refute, respectfully saying, “Young Master, there are still phone cases here.”
Ruan Yan glanced at the phone cases, adorned with intricate diamonds or entirely made of gold, and remained silent.
After a moment of silence, he said, “No need.”
Mr. Lin’s heart tightened, about to persuade, but Ruan Yan understood him and said first, “The purpose of phone cases is to protect the phone and extend its lifespan. Uncle Lin, I want the phone to break sooner, I don’t want to use it for so long.”
Ruan Yan, pressured by tasks and family, had become adept at lying, except for a slight movement of his delicate Adam’s apple, betraying his emotions.
Mr. Lin was almost moved to tears of joy, “Young Master, you have finally grown up.”
Finally realizing that he should treat himself better.
With mines, factories, mountains, seas, and islands in his family, Young Master had made himself thin from studying before.

Actually, Ruan Yan was just growing up.

Ruan Yan took a few steps back, his thin waist trembling slightly, before calmly carrying the cat upstairs.
The next day.
Ruan Yan had to participate in a competition today, so he didn’t change into Ran Yan’s clothes.
The competition was held at Qilin High School.
Qilin High School had excellent facilities and a first-class environment, always considered one of the landmarks of the city. The Education Bureau liked to arrange activities at Qilin High School.
This time, the competition was in mathematics.
After finishing the paper, Ruan Yan even changed invigilators midway. When he handed in his paper, the teachers in the office spread the news.
It was said that a supervisor surnamed Chen walked past Ruan Yan and found that his accuracy rate for one paper was one hundred percent, but he didn’t see the second paper.
As Ruan Yan handed in the paper, he planned to go to the restroom to wash his hands.
He had just reached the door when he saw Chu Nan leading Ju Ping, Zhang Yang, and Chen Siyu smoking.
Chu Nan rarely smoked; he had quit long ago. It was only recently that he occasionally smoked because of some troubles.
The smoke from the cigarettes lingered, giving Chu Nan’s features a hazy feeling, as if hidden behind a veil of smoke, lurking, ready to take lives in a moment.
Due to the angle, Ruan Yan could see them, but they couldn’t see him.
Ju Ping said discontentedly, “Chu Ge, why are you stopping me from setting up Chen Hui and Ruan Yan?”
Because I don’t want to be cuckolded!
Chu Nan impatiently stubbed out his cigarette, “You’re setting up Chen Hui and Ruan Yan? Is he worthy?”
Ju Ping suddenly realized, “Indeed, even a good cabbage is being given to a pig.”
Chu Nan’s mood slightly improved, sounding somewhat human.
Ju Ping continued, “How can Ruan Yan compare to Chen Hui, let alone compare to you, Chu Ge. Chu Ge, rest assured, Ran Yan is just temporarily blinded by Ruan Yan’s softness and kindness. Sooner or later, she will abandon Ruan Yan, that two-faced backstabber, and return to your side. Chu Ge, if you’re worried about Chen Hui being wronged, one day I’ll find a few more people from other schools to seduce Ruan Yan.”
Chu Nan: … Ju Ping isn’t satisfied with just one green hat, he wants more?
His partner, who didn’t know whether to call him a boyfriend or girlfriend, was a beauty when she was a girl, liked by a bunch of guys. If he couldn’t catch his breath, he would have been ousted long ago.
When she was a boy, it was even more unbearable. Those girls liked his type, fair-skinned, elegant, and good at studying.
Chu Nan felt like a walking green hat.
Looking at Ju Ping’s appearance of caring for him, Chu Nan got angry. His face darkened, and he scolded, “When did you get this illness? Can’t you think of anything other than seduction? Did I teach you such despicable means?”
Ju Ping awkwardly said, “This… I just feel that Ran Yan is such a good and kind girl, deceived by that two-faced guy Ruan Yan, isn’t it worth feeling sorry for her?”
Ruan Yan walked in and said coldly, “You’re eloquent, but your eyesight isn’t good.”
While calling him such a soft “little girl,” and scolding him, it’s not that your eyesight is bad.
Ju Ping couldn’t stand this mockery, about to explode, when Ruan Yan turned his attention to Chu Nan.
A hint of coldness flashed in his peach blossom eyes: “You’re smoking?”
This look, resembling a wife catching her husband cheating, made Ju Ping scoff, “Yeah, smoking, or do you want me to smoke you?”
Chu Nan remained calm on the surface, but there was some panic in his heart.
Chu Nan swiftly stubbed out his cigarette: “Just checking.”
“Yeah, heard that, Chu Ge just checking…” Ju Ping’s arrogant voice weakened. What’s the big deal about sniffing?
He tried to save face: “Yeah, Chu Ge just checking. Ruan Yan, what are you accusing him of?”
Ruan Yan completely ignored him, turning to Chu Nan, “Where did you get the money to smoke?”
Ruan Yan reached out, “Tuition fees, it’s due.”
Chu Nan: … feeling a bit at a loss.
Ju Ping widened his eyes, “Ruan Yan, are you crazy? Collecting protection fees from Chu Ge?”
What tuition fees? It’s definitely a made-up pretext.
The top student of the weak chicken grade collecting protection fees from the campus bully? Can’t he come up with a shorter lifespan?
Seeing Chu Nan’s handsome face without a smile, with sharp eyes, he reached into his pocket.
Ju Ping thought, yes, that’s it, take out a weapon and kill Ruan Yan.
“Thirteen yuan.” Chu Nan took out some change and handed it to Ruan Yan, “I didn’t buy the cigarettes, and I need two yuan for water.”
On a hot day, you can’t survive without drinking mineral water.
Ju Ping: …
“Chu… Ge…” Is this how you cooperate with Ruan Yan’s arrogant extortion?!
You only have 15 yuan in total, even if you’re being extorted, you don’t have to give it so cleanly!
Although Chu Nan only had fifteen yuan a day, he could have breakfast at home and bring lunch from home.
Previously, the money wasn’t enough because he had to bring breakfast for Ruan Yan, and he gave his lunch to Ruan Yan, then bought his own at the cafeteria, so money was tight.
But Chu Nan was used to it; he willingly accepted it.
These days, since breaking up with Ruan Yan, he didn’t have to bring breakfast, nor did he have to buy lunch, so he felt a bit empty in his heart even though he had money in his pocket.
Now that he handed all the money to Ruan Yan, he felt reassured.
Ruan Yan looked at the money and said, “Okay, next time you smoke, I’ll report it to Auntie Chu.”
Chu Nan: “Hmm.”
Ju Ping was completely shocked throughout. When Ruan Yan coldly took the money and left, he finally mustered up the courage to speak, “Chu Ge, you just gave him the money? Why didn’t you take out a big, thick weapon and kill him?”
Chu Nan: …
I suspect you’re driving, but I have no evidence.
Ju Ping said, “Use your iron fists to beat him up.”
Chu Nan said, “I’ll decide when and how to deal with him. You all stay out of his way.”
After saying that, he threw the extinguished cigarette into the trash can and left.
As soon as he left, Chu Nan could see Ruan Yan talking to Su Xue from a distance.
They were quite close, a picture of a talented young man and a beautiful young woman.
Chu Nan’s eyes darkened. He had given all his money to that little weirdo, and now he was going to interact with others.
Chu Nan stood there, watching Ruan Yan in the corridor.
Ruan Yan sensed the gaze; he had good eyesight and could clearly see Chu Nan’s jealous expression.
Ruan Yan felt a bit unhappy. Chu Nan…gets jealous quickly.
But for the mission, he approached Su Xue a bit more and said, “I’ll consider your request, but… I need some benefits to motivate me to act.”
Su Xue pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Chu Nan, seeing them so close, felt even more uncomfortable, snorted coldly, and left.
Tonight was a party after the monthly exam.
It was also the last major relaxation opportunity for the seniors of Qilin High School’s senior year.
Chu Nan gathered Ju Ping and the others, instructing them to act separately, and to cut off the power in the auditorium first.
Tonight’s party had three main parts: first, to watch the student council’s dance rehearsal; second, the principal and the first of the senior year would give speeches, commonly known as ‘pumping up’; and third, the students would dance together.
Because Ruan Yan had to speak later, he arrived relatively early and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the student council’s dance to begin.
His silhouette was extremely attractive, unmistakable.
Chu Nan walked into the venue with a serious face, his gaze fixed on him.
He took out his phone and sent a message: Cut the power!
Without any warning, all the lights in the auditorium went out.
There were screams from the girls all around, and of course, mixed in with a few shouts from the guys.
Ruan Yan was also startled. He stood up, wanting to know what was happening.
“Um.” Ruan Yan couldn’t help but utter a low exclamation. Who was holding his hand?!
Ruan Yan was about to reprimand the person to let go when he heard Chu Nan say, “Yan Yan, I finally found you.”
Ruan Yan: ?!
What’s wrong with this lunatic?! He’s wearing men’s clothes.
But now with all the lights out and unable to see what he was wearing, Chu Nan couldn’t see what clothes he was wearing.
Ruan Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, preparing to use his voice to make Chu Nan retreat.
But Chu Nan whispered in his ear, “Yan Yan, I know I’m not mistaken. When I held your hand before, it felt like this, especially delicate.”
“Most importantly…” Chu Nan’s voice became infatuated, “the scent on you, I can’t be wrong, it’s very fragrant.”
Ruan Yan was about to say he hadn’t showered today, then mock Chu Nan’s sense of smell.
Before he could speak, Chu Nan’s deep voice said, “Yan Yan, I was wrong. Let’s get back together.”
Chu Nan’s accomplices lurking elsewhere erupted into cheers: “Together, together!”
Others in the venue also realized what was happening; it was the school bully confessing his love.
Onlookers joined in: “Together, together!”
Ruan Yan: …
Now he was dressed in men’s clothing and was being embraced by Chu Nan with a shocked expression.
What would happen when the power came back on?
