Chapter 504: Just a Softie

“Nothing.” Su Huiqing retracted her gaze and said calmly, “I will go back first.”

Murong Bai didn’t look at the figure in the rearview mirror and just smiled. “Alright, go in first. If Old Yu finds out, he will definitely come back and chop me up.”

After Su Huiqing disappeared from his sight, Murong Bai’s smile dropped. “Come out.”

His voice was usually calm, but this time, there was a rare hint of anger.

A tall figure slowly appeared behind the car.

Murong Bing, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was still afraid of his brother. “…Brother.”

“What are you doing here?” Murong Bai’s face was cold, and his tone did not soften.

“I was looking for Su Xiao when I saw you coming back…” Murong Bing asked curiously, “Brother, who was that?”

Murong Bai knew that Murong Bing had seen Su Huiqing. “She is someone you know. Murong Bing, remember this. In the future, don’t provoke anyone in school.”

He just casually instructed.

Although he was still worried about Su Huiqing in the past—after those few incidents, he suddenly realized that Su Huiqing had always been the only one who played dirty. Thus, even if Murong Bing really provoked Su Huiqing, he was not worried.

He was worried that no one would teach Murong Bing a lesson.

Murong Bai had never said such protective words before. Murong Bing could not help but frown. “Brother, I understand.”

He spoke lazily, and it was unknown if he heard his brother.

However, Murong Bai could not be bothered with him anymore. He said a few words to Murong Bing before driving off.

Murong Bing could not find Su Xiao and felt bored, and so he went back to school.

On the way, he happened to b.u.mp into Su Huiqing. He figured that Murong Bai wanted him to take care of Su Huiqing, but Murong Bing had always hated such ‘connections’. He just sneered at Su Huiqing and left.

Su Huiqing, Yu Xiangyang, and the rest were together.

Yu Xiangyang, Qu Yan, and the rest naturally knew that Murong Bing was Murong Bai’s younger brother. Seeing Murong Bing like this, they could not help but be a little puzzled. “Why does Mr. Murong’s younger brother look a little fierce?”

Yu Xiangyang nodded. “You can say that he is very fierce.”

“That’s one of the three people who can’t be provoked in school.” Long Xue whispered into Su Huiqing’s ear. “He was looking at you just now. Does he know you?”

Su Huiqing smirked lazily and stuffed her hands into her pockets. She casually said, “Ignore him.”

Gu Li retracted his gaze and was also a little puzzled. “Mr. Murong looks much calmer than Mr. Hua. I didn’t expect him to be the most infamous in school.”

The others agreed.

Only Long Xue was confused. Why didn’t I understand what my friend was saying?

…

The next day, Su Xiao returned to school, and Murong Bing soon found her.

“I heard that many families have looked for Fu Meng this time.” Murong Bing frowned. “She can actually refine herbs that are beyond high-level? She should be in the fourth year, right?”

Su Xiao was a little frustrated. She put down her chopsticks and happened to see Su Huiqing waiting for them at the cafeteria. Her expression instantly turned worse.

At this moment, Murong Bing also saw Su Huiqing.

He instantly recalled Murong Bai’s instructions, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

Su Xiao saw his smile and blinked in confusion. “Why do you look like you don’t like this freshman? I heard she’s going to enter the third year.”

“Third year?” Murong Bing sneered. “She’s just a spineless coward.”
