A little boy with his head lowered, was feeding himself corn and lean meat porridge. He was eating very intently and did not look up at his surroundings. The table was also clean and there was not a trace of spillage from his bowl.
Youguang was thinking about where to sit.
The children in this room were all very cute. She did not dislike them, but she didn’t wish to be suddenly disturbed by any children beside her while she was eating or attending class.
Seeing the quiet boy in the corner, she had an idea and looked up at Teacher Luo.
“Teacher, can I sit there?”
“Yes, you can… but…” Teacher Luo was stunned when he saw where she was pointing.
“But what?”
“Shi Wangyue doesn’t like to talk. Are you okay with that?” The real reason was far more complicated than this. That was the most that Teacher Luo could say to a five-year-old child.
Coincidentally, she didn’t like to talk either.
“Yes. I like quietness.”
Once the new student had collected her food, she would have to find a seat. The five-year-old children knew this.
Several children who had empty seats beside them wanted to invite their beautiful new classmate to sit beside them. However, before they could speak, they saw her walking towards the corner of the classroom.
“Ah!” the students exclaimed in surprise.
The new classmate quickly walked to the side of her newly chosen seat. “Hello, classmate. May I sit with you?”
When the soft but clear voice sounded in his ear, Shi Wangyue felt a shudder run through his body.
He looked up slowly and saw a smiling face as pretty as a doll and a pair of eyes as bright as starlight. It was the new classmate who had just arrived.
She was looking at him and asking to sit with him.
“She wants to sit with me?”
Shi Wangyue was stunned.
The moment he lifted his head, Ning Youguang was also stunned.
Previously, he had been eating with his head lowered. The teacher had also said that he did not like to talk. She had even wondered if there was anything wrong with the child. She did not expect him to be so good-looking. His facial features were exquisite and he had very good facial bone structure.
Especially those perfect, almond-shaped eyes. They were wide and big, with dark pupils. The whites of his eyes were crystal clear, and the ends of his eyes were slightly upturned. When he turned to look at her, it felt as if she was going to be sucked into his eyes even though he did not say a word.
Those eyes would be even more mesmerizing when he is older.
However, the child was still young and his face was expressionless. He was also extremely thin and his skin was pale. He did not look as cute and likable as those smiling, chubby kids.
However, having seen countless beauties in her previous life, this child would definitely look very, very good when he grows up.
“May I sit? If you can, nod. If not, I’ll find another seat. But if you’ll allow me to sit here, I’d be happy to be your deskmate.”
Youguang thought of what the teacher had said about the boy and asked carefully again.
After she had spoken, the boy continued to watch her in silence. There was not a single movement.
Seeing this, the surrounding children scrambled to speak.
“Youguang, don’t sit with him. He’s no fun. Come sit with me.”
“Yes. He’s like a mute, he doesn’t like to talk. There is space here. Come sit here.”
“Sit with me. Sit with me. Ning Youguang.”
“Come quickly, come quickly.”
At this age, kids said whatever they wanted. They didn’t understand what it meant to hurt someone.
One of the kids— a slightly plump boy who was among the taller ones in class, stood up and walked over to Youguang and said,
“Ning Youguang, he’s sick. Don’t play with him. I’ll play with you. Let’s be friends.”
The little boy, who was watching Youguang in silence, slowly lowered his head. She could see very clearly that there was anger and hurt in his eyes.
Then, he moved his little stool bit by bit to the side and made out a space for her.
Youguang immediately sat down in the space he’d vacated.
“Thank you, classmate Shi Wangyue. We’ll be deskmates from now on.” Then, she turned to the other students in the class and said softly, “Thank you for your invitation. our classmate Shi Wangyue has allowed me to sit beside him, so I’ll sit here.”
After Yougang had taken her seat, the little boy who said that Shi Wangyue was sick glared at him.
The malice was obvious.
Ning Youguang stopped smiling. “Excuse me, but I’m going to eat.”
Having witnessed what had happened, Teacher Luo took the opportunity to walk over.
“Shi Tongyang, the new classmate, has chosen a seat. You should also return to your seat and start eating.”
Shi Tongyang, Shi Wangyue, Shi… .
Youguang’s eyes widened as she turned to look at the little boy beside her. She stared at his pale face without blinking, trying to imagine his looks if he were an adult. And slowly she tried to fuse that face with one of that in her memory.
Shi Wangyue!
It was as if a little spiritual light had rushed into her brain, producing a series of ripples. When the ripples had completely dissipated, there was a clear figure reflected on the surface.
Youguang held her breath and quickly looked down at the boy’s leg.
All is good.
When she first heard the name of her little deskmate, she couldn’t help but think, Shi Wangyue? Shi Wangyue? …
She wondered about the name of this new desk-mate. Why was it so similar to the name of someone she had known in her previous life?
Now that she was hearing a name she had heard in her previous life, she was quite certain that the little boy beside her was the Shi Wangyue she knew.
After all—other than him—it was impossible that there was another person in Jin City with the name Shi Wangyue, who also had a cousin called Shi Tongyang.
She had known both brothers in her previous life, but they were not close.
To be exact, she had known her little deskmate for a shorter period of time. They had met in the year of her death, as doctor and patient.
She was the doctor and he was the patient.
He had been dragged to her workplace by a friend.
His friend happened to know her good friend quite well. That was how their paths had crossed.
At that time, he was just in his early thirties. Having entered the Chinese capitalistic circle with unparalleled abilities, he had become one of the bigwigs and was a rising investment genius.
Previously, he and his friends had founded Hades Capital when they were studying in Europe and the United States. Over a span of a decade or so, he had quickly become the largest shareholder of the most profitable Internet company in China at that time.
That was a man who saw nothing but money.
However, no matter what his status was, in front of her, he was just someone with severe insomnia, along with crippled legs, anorexia, and an aversion to doctors.
If not for the fact that he was so tortured by his ailments, he wouldn’t have been dragged by his friend to seek treatment.
Ning Youguang couldn’t help but sigh deeply at the thought. She had died abruptly in her previous life. She wondered how it turned out for this big boss…
As for Shi Tongyang, it was a funny story.
He was her high school alumnus, someone who was known throughout high school for chasing after her.
In her previous life, the 15-year-old Ning Youguang was cold and stubborn. As she had witnessed her parents’ broken marriage since she was young and had witnessed the patchy relationship between Xia Youqing and Ning Yi, she was really tired of love and affairs of the heart.
However, she did not expect to encounter romance as soon as she entered her teenage years. The love of a young man was simple and pure. As long as she ignored it, it would not pose any problems.
However, with someone like Shi Tongyang who was ruthless and persistent, she could only attain peace by staying far away from him.
She wasn’t afraid of him. She was just extremely tired of this extremely self-centered, narcissistic, and fearless person.
So, after a semester at Dean College, she transferred to another school and hoped that she’d never see the man again.
After leaving college, she went abroad and did not see him for many years.
When she finished her degree, master’s and doctorate… and returned to the country, she heard some news about him by chance. The young master who had taken the entire Dean College by storm during high school wasn’t doing so well now.
Among the sons of the wealthy families in Jin City, he and his cousin Shi Wangyue must be the most prominent and extreme opposites one could find.
