Luo Qian glanced at his watch; it was his turn for duty today, and ti was already running short.
After thinking it over, he turned into the nearby alley, deciding to take a shortcut from here.
Two teenagers erged from the intersection ahead.
Luo Qian frowned, and just as he turned around, two other people blocked his path from behind. One of them was the boy whose "fun" Luo had interrupted on the bus.

On the black circular platform, as the steel ball spun ceaselessly, two golden rings intertwined in dazzling brilliance.
Shen You’an held a steel pipe, one end aid at the spinning steel ball. He controlled his breathing and blew lightly.
The steel ball spun faster and faster, until even the afterimage beca invisible. In mid-air, a golden flower slowly blossod, fantastical and subli.
Shen You’an curved his lips, his brows relaxed and joyful.
"Magnus effect." A llow voice descended gently from above.
Shen You’an looked up.
The morning light outlined the clean and handso features of a young man. His usual detached gaze today brimd with a warmth as soft as water, like moonlight spilled across the ground.
Shen You’an propped his head on one hand, the corners of his lips slightly curved.
Liu Runxi chuckled. "For this effect to occur, the rotational speed needs to reach 3600 revolutions per minute. Your blowing technique is impressive—not only does it train lung capacity but also relieves stress. The person who gifted this to you was quite thoughtful."
Without waiting for Shen You’an to respond, he turned around and sat back down.
Shen You’an glanced at his retreating figure, then lowered his head to look at the endlessly spinning steel ball and the golden flower it produced. His brows rose slightly.
Gu Bichen walked in with his backpack, spotted the little toy on Shen You’an’s desk, and smiled, "That’s pretty interesting. Did you make it yourself?"
Shen You’an responded flatly with an "Mm," grabbed the steel ball and stuffed it in his desk, then pulled out a set of physics test papers and began working on them.
At lunchti in the cafeteria, Shen You’an ordered a plate of potato and chicken rice.
Just as he sat down, Gao Yuyue dropped two big chicken drumsticks onto Shen You’an’s tray.
"Eat more. Look how skinny you’ve beco."
Shen You’an said helplessly, "Gao Yuyue, do you want to overfeed to death?"
"You’re about to participate in the physics competition; you need to boost your brainpower. Bring back a ’double kill’ while you’re at it."
Most people had already shifted their focus away from the physics competition to the math league. Of the whole class, only one-third signed up for the physics event.
Gao Yuyue had also opted out of the physics competition—after weighing the pros and cons, it was the best choice.
But Shen You’an, this freak, was clearly an exception.
"Co with after school to a place."
Shen You’an, without looking up, replied, "Sorry, I’ve got plans."
Gao Yuyue slamd her chopsticks down with a smack. Her beautiful face was furious, cheeks puffed out, both fierce and adorably defiant.
"You’re so boring. You don’t even ask where I plan to take you tonight, and you’re already eager to reject . What’s your deal?"
At that mont, the phone in Shen You’an’s school uniform pocket buzzed. Shen You’an pulled it out and glanced at it—it was an unfamiliar number.
After answering, whatever was said through the phone made Gao Yuyue notice the usually calm and unflappable young girl suddenly furrow her brows instinctively.
Putting down his chopsticks, he strode out of the cafeteria without looking back.
Leaving Gao Yuyue utterly dumbfounded.
What the heck!
Shen You’an, are you seriously putting on this act just to refuse ?
Leng Yunyang watched from afar as the girl hurriedly disappeared from view. He raised an eyebrow and pulled out his phone, dialing a number.
Shen You’an left the cafeteria and called ng Junzhu, saying there was an ergency at ho and she needed to ask for leave from school.
ng Junzhu naturally didn’t refuse—she called the security office, inford them, and told Shen You’an to leave through the school gates, with the promise to file any paperwork later.
Shen You’an left campus smoothly, hailed a cab at the gate, and headed straight for the hospital.
The call earlier was from Luo Qian’s horoom teacher. Luo Qian had suddenly collapsed in class. The teacher imdiately alerted ergency services, sending him to the hospital, and tried contacting Luo Qian’s parents. Unfortunately, none of the family numbers were picked up. In the ergency contacts section, Shen You’an’s number was listed, so they’d called her instead.
When Shen You’an arrived at the hospital, Luo Qian was undergoing various examinations. By the ti she saw him, he was lying silently on a hospital bed with tubes plugged into him.
Shen You’an’s face instantly darkened. "Doctor, how’s my younger brother?"
The doctor in charge of Luo Qian was an intern in the ergency departnt. After giving instructions to the nurse, he heard the voice and looked up.
The girl wore Lanya High School’s uniform, her slender and tall figure perfectly showcased. Her chin-length short hair was sharp and tidy. Her skin was fair as snow. Her small and delicate face was adorned with gold-rimd glasses, lending her a cold, transcendent air.
