“Of course he’ll go to Huaxia if he can! What’s there to hesitate about? But Sister Xi, do you really have the ability to change his choice?” Flame Number One scratched his head.

Xue Xi paused.

She thought of the people in the Moguls’ Group. For some unknown reason, she felt that there was someone among them who could think of a solution.

For example, Omnipotent Boss could definitely think of a proper method to let Little Flame enter Huaxia University.

It all depended on Gao Yanchen’s own thoughts.

Xue Xi looked at him and saw Gao Yanchen pause and smile bitterly. “No.”

Everyone was stunned.

Flame Number One seemed to want to say something, but after following him for so many years, he swallowed his words and changed them. “Alright, then, I won’t go to the capital to study. Brother Chen, go donate to Bin City University and stuff me in!”

Just as the rest were about to agree, Gao Yanchen raised his eyes and swept them a glance. The few of them instantly shut their mouths and looked at him in unison.

Xue Xi: “?”

Like him, they’d give up?

Gao Yanchen lowered his eyes and suppressed the anticipation and curiosity about the future.

Flame Number One was a little sad and at a loss. He stuttered, “Brother Chen, we’re all leaving. You’ll be the only one left…”

Just as he said this, Gao Yanchen suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked his butt. “What do you mean that I’ll be the only one left? Your family is here, yet you speak as though you can’t come back! Moreover, Bin City University is a key university. I’m much better than you guys who are going to the capital to study in a second-tier university!”

His almond-shaped eyes were raised, and his expression was as arrogant as ever. “After you graduate from university, all of you might come back to beg me to find you a job! In the future, I’ll still have to provide for you guys! Take this chance to go out and make a living. When you return to me in the future, you won’t have such a carefree life anymore!”

After saying that, he pointed at Flame Number One and the rest’s hair. “Also, if you guys dye your hair back when I’m not paying attention, I’ll fly a helicopter to kill you guys! Do you hear me?”

After saying this, he pointed at everyone from the Roaring Flame Society. When he finally pointed at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang smiled and said, “Brother Chen, I have to be an actress in the future. Red hair is too restrictive when it comes to acting. Don’t worry, when I’m not filming, I’ll buy a wig to wear!”

The corners of Gao Yanchen’s lips twitched as he turned to look at Xue Xi. His fingers brushed past her black hair and landed on it. He looked elsewhere awkwardly. “Sister Xi, don’t think that I won’t be able to reach you just because you’re in the capital. Just you wait. The next time I come back, my martial arts will definitely have improved. I’ll definitely defeat you and dye your hair red!”

Xue Xi: “…”

The originally sad atmosphere became lively again after he did this.

Flame Number One jumped up and hooked his arm around Gao Yanchen’s neck. “F*ck, Brother Chen, looking at you just now, those who don’t know might think that you’ve fallen out of love! Actually, thinking about it, my heart aches for you. Why should I? Bin City University is much better than the university I got in to, alright?!”

Gao Yanchen impatiently pushed his hand down and took two steps forward. He then heard someone say, “Then, are we still going to the capital this summer vacation?”

Flame Number One and Qin Shuang instantly looked angrily at the person who spoke—Flame Number Seven.

Number Seven knew that he had made a mistake and instantly shrank his neck. The few of them turned to look at Gao Yanchen, and just as they were about to change the topic, Gao Yanchen turned around. His hands were in his pockets, and his back was slightly arched, looking sloppy.

However, his red hair was exceptionally arrogant. He grinned. “Yes, of course! Not only do we have to go to the capital, but we also have to go to Country M. Isn’t Sister Xi participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad in mid-September? Everyone, let’s cheer for her!”

“Wow!”

Number Seven’s family was relatively poor and he had never left the country in his life. He immediately said excitedly, “Am I finally going overseas now?”

Gao Yanchen nodded. “Mhm, accompany Sister Xi!”

He looked at Xue Xi and exuded an indomitable will. “We’re going to cheer for Sister Xi! Give me your identity cards and I’ll get someone to get us a visa. Then we’ll fly there!”

With his arrogant and exaggerated actions, he seemed to be back to his past self.

Everyone felt as though a lifetime had passed. They smiled at each other and nodded.

After chatting with the others for a while, everyone left the hospital. Actually, they were chased away by Gao Yanchen. Although he was a good person, he did not say anything good. “Why are you all crowding here? The air is not good. If you have nothing to do, scram back to play games. Even when you are ranked, you only know how to drag others down!”

Everyone: “… ”

Everyone left happily.

Gao Yanchen lowered his head, picked up his phone, and opened Feng Yan’s WeChat.

On the chat interface, there were only messages from Feng Yan.

“Is the result out?”

“?”

“Xiao Chen?”

“I saw the results.”

“It doesn’t matter if you can get it or not.”

Gao Yanchen stared at it for a while before typing: “Brother, I’m sorry. I can’t go to the capital to accompany you. I’ve been transferred to Bin City University.”

He did not explain in detail what had happened, nor did he mention that Elder Gao had changed his first choice. With just a change of topic, he had explained everything helplessly.

Feng Yan replied very quickly: “It’s fine. Bin City University is also very good. After I’m done with the club’s matters, I’ll return to Bin City to accompany you.”

Gao Yanchen’s eyes turned red when he saw this reply.

Feng Yan actually loved the club very much, right? Otherwise, he would not still be in the club after retiring. But now, he was willing to give up the club to accompany him.

Gao Yanchen did not reply. He placed his phone in his pocket and turned around to see Xue Xi standing behind him.

Gao Yanchen was stunned. “Sister Xi? You didn’t leave?”

Xue Xi let Qin Shuang go back first. When she heard that Elder Gao only had two years to live, she wanted to stay and comfort Little Flame.

“Mhm. I think you might need me to stay and accompany you.”

After saying this, Xue Xi recalled that when Flame Number One said that he would stay and accompany her, Gao Yanchen had kicked him and was very impatient. He even said, “F*ck, you’re too disgusting. The old man finds you annoying. Scram!”

Hence, Xue Xi hurriedly added, “If you don’t need it, I’ll leave.”

Gao Yanchen’s eyes narrowed.

His gaze on Xue Xi became complicated.

He lowered his head and said, “I need it.”

…

The two of them walked around the hospital. The weather was a little gloomy today, and the wind was cooling.

Xue Xi quietly walked beside him with her hands behind her back. She was so quiet that she did not seem to exist. She did not know how to comfort others, so she did not speak.

After a long silence, Gao Yanchen suddenly said, “Sister Xi, do you still remember our first meeting?”

Xue Xi paused and nodded. “Mhm. You guys were forcing the chatterbox to cut her hair.”

Gao Yanchen smiled. He had never mentioned this before, but today, he had a particularly strong desire to confide in her. “That’s not the first time. The first time we met was actually outside Ye Lai Xiang provision store. That day, you suddenly stood in front of me and asked if I could be your boyfriend.”

Xue Xi: “?”

There’s such a thing? Why can’t I remember?!

Gao Yanchen said to himself, “Actually, I don’t have any affinity with the opposite sex. Perhaps it’s because I don’t look good. All the girls are afraid of me.”

Xue Xi: “…”

She silently looked at Gao Yanchen’s face. Even with his red hair, he was still handsome. She silently thought that Little Flame might have misunderstood his looks.

However, he was always fierce. Even at this moment, his face was filled with impatience. He was too arrogant.

Gao Yanchen did not know what Xue Xi was thinking and continued, “You’re the first girl to confess to me. I was so shocked back then, haha!”

After saying that, he lowered his eyes. “However, I regret not accepting you back then.”

Xue Xi paused and suddenly panicked.

Will Little Flame confess to me? Then how can I reject him? After all, he must be in a bad mood right now.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Gao Yanchen say, “If you’re my girlfriend, I can force you to dye your hair red!”

Xue Xi: “…”

Xue Xi: “!!”

This was the first time she felt that she was being a little too much.

What was she thinking just now?

The corners of her lips twitched as she asked, “Why are you so obsessed with red hair?”

Gao Yanchen paused. He seemed to be in a dilemma and did not know how to reply.

Seeing him like this, Xue Xi did not force him and changed the topic. “Actually, you can bring your grandfather to the capital.”

Xue Xi: “?”

Gao Yanchen placed his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky. “Sister Xi, do you know my grandfather’s dream?”

Xue Xi paused and shook her head.

Gao Yanchen said, “He hopes that I can live peacefully.”

Gao Yanchen seemed to be relieved. “I’ve never understood him. Even today, I hated his selfishness and felt that he didn’t understand me. However, just now, when the doctor said that Grandpa only has two years of life left, I panicked. I also wanted to let Grandpa live forever, so at that moment, I suddenly understood his feelings.

“He’s old and has lost a son. He definitely doesn’t want me to be hurt now, but I’ve thought it through. Even if I’m going to university in Bin City, I won’t let myself be trapped here. Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you to the IMO and watch my brother become the strongest coach in POT. I won’t miss your life.

“As for Huaxia University, I’ll take it that since you’re in, I’ll also go through you! Take my hope and charge!”

Xue Xi could not judge Gao Yanchen’s choice and nodded.

However, she was still indignant.

Little Flame is so outstanding. Will he really be trapped in Bin City for the rest of his life?

She had a feeling that things would turn for the better.
