Its said to be kept confidential, but its not easy for you to make others believe that there is no "illicit relationship" between you two. The whole school of thousands saw Bai Yang holding your hand and walking through the campus in a daze, such a scene makes people imagine all sorts of things. Can you hide, what can you hide?
Tong Jun had a secret, and among the children in this big courtyard, except for Hou Jing, not one person knew that Tong Jun was already in a relationship with Bai Yang. Not even Gu Zhi Kai, who was very close to Bai Yang, knew about it.
Gu Zhi Kai was still puzzled to death, but this time when Bai Yang returned to Beijing, his face was still smiling, completely different from the gloomy expression of the past few times. When asked, he didnt say anything, and it was estimated that maybe this time he finally saw Tong Jing, so his mood wasnt bad. Who would have thought that Bai Yangs smile was because Tong Jing had agreed to be in a relationship with him? Nobody expected their progress to be so fast, so its not surprising that nobody in the big courtyard knew about it.
Of course, Tóng Yào didnt know at first either. He thought Bǎi Yáng would just stay in Hángzhōu for three days and couldnt do much, let alone that he had already made all the necessary arrangements to prevent Bǎi Yáng from finding Tóng Jùn. Every day after school, he even went out of his way to pick up Tóng Jùn at her school. Tóng Xiǎo-yé did everything perfectly, but still missed one thing - he didnt expect that this man could actually enter the girls high school; he had always thought of it as the safest place, but ironically, it turned out to be the most unsafe place.
However, you really cant underestimate Tóng Yàos observational ability. Whenever Tóng Jǐng is slightly abnormal, he can sense that something is off. For example, Tóng Yào discovered that recently, Tóng Jǐng has been constantly checking his phone. In the past, Tóng Jǐng rarely touched his phone since there werent many people to contact. Nowadays, its common to see Tóng Jǐng frowning as he stares at his phone screen for a long time, only to put it back in his pocket without any reaction.
Tong Yao wouldnt be foolish enough to ask Tong Jing directly, but he had already started to feel suspicious in his heart. Could it be that his sister was really waiting for Bai Yangs call? Had the two of them been in contact with each other?
Such speculation is already very close to the truth, Tong Yao still observes Tong Jings every move without a word, but in front of Tong Jing, he immediately puts on a naive expression, like an inexperienced little devil, but as soon as Tong Jing turns around, his eyes sink down, damn Pei Yang, I must snatch my sister back from your hands.
"Sister—" Tong Yao stood outside Tong Jings room and knocked on the door.
Tong Jing is changing clothes in the house. Shes going out later because Bai Yang has come to Hangzhou again and she wants to see him. Its been a week since they last met, and she misses him.
"Xiao Yao, wait a minute, Im changing clothes!" Tong Jing saw someone knocking on the door outside and quickened her pace of dressing.
Tong Yao held a stack of test papers in his hand, leaning lazily against the door with a sly smile.
Soon, Tong Jing quickly changed his clothes and opened the door after tidying up.
Tong Yao had long been obediently standing up, pretending to look at the test paper in his hand, and deliberately raising his head as if he had just heard the door sound, "Sister, I dont know how to do these questions, teach me!" As if he was really a good student who loved learning. Did he not understand these questions? Its strange, his grades were among the top in the class, how could these questions stump him?
Tong Yaos excellent grades are entirely due to his own hard work. Of course, you might think that Tong Yao is so diligent because he loves studying, but the truth is, he wants to skip grades with his outstanding performance. Isnt there a three-year age gap between him and Tong Jing? When he was in middle school, she was already in high school; when he entered high school, she went on to university. This three-year difference really gets under Tong Yaos skin, so he secretly vowed to rely on his excellent grades to skip grades. However, things dont always go as planned. No matter how outstanding your grades are or how influential your family background is, if the school doesnt allow grade skipping, you cant do it. Which school would easily let students skip grades? Moreover, there are many excellent students around; if one student skips a grade, others will feel unfair and want to follow suit - then how could the school operate?
So Tong Yaos beautiful dream of skipping grades is impossible to achieve, but this kid has many means. If I cant skip grades here, then send Tong Jing to a girls school, one day, I will be with my sister.
Its true that Tóng Yào came to knock on Tóng Jǐngs door this time, but he wasnt really there to ask questions. He had already observed that Tóng Jǐng wanted to go out and had carefully dressed up for so long, wanting to see Bó Yáng. Without my consent, you can forget about it, thought Tóng Yào in the dark. As his sister, how could Tóng Jǐng possibly know?
"Right now?" Tong Jings face showed a hint of difficulty, "Xiao Yao, sister has something to attend to and will be going out for a bit. Ill explain the questions to you when I get back, or you can also ask your tutor to teach you." She was already being very tactful, she really was in a hurry, otherwise she would have taught Xiao Yao before leaving.
"Sister, where are you going?" Tong Yaos mouth was asking, but his heart had another thought: Sister, do you really think Im a child to be fooled? You want to see Bo Yang, thinking I dont know? No way, what is Bo Yang anyway? I wont let you see him!
Tong Ruo smiled and said, thinking that Tong Yao was just casually asking, patted Tong Yaos head, and had already walked forward. "Ill meet a friend for a bit, Ill be back soon." The answer was even more casual.
She didnt see the sharpness in Tong Yaos eyes. If she turned around and looked, she would definitely discover her brothers true face.
"Sister, anyway, were just friends, right? Cant see each other whenever we want? Teach me a few questions, whats wrong with you? Youre not happy at all. Is your friend more important or am I more important?" Tong Yaos fists were already clenched into balls, and there was a raging fire burning in his heart. He had been guarding his sister for so long, but now...now...she actually said she wanted to go find another man! No way, not even if you two like each other!"
Tong Jing also sensed that her younger brother seemed unhappy, but she didnt think much of it. Tong Yao often threw small tantrums, and this wasnt the first or second time either. She could just coax him when they got back home.
"Of course youre important, Im just going to see a friend and will be back soon. You put aside the ones you dont understand for now and do other questions first, Ill teach you as soon as I get back, okay?" Tong Jun turned around with a faint smile, not intentionally looking at Tong Yaos expression. At this moment, Tong Yao indeed didnt have any expression, but this was precisely Tong Yaos expression when he was the most angry.
"Dont go!" Tong Yaos icy voice echoed throughout the room, his patience had reached its limit. He couldnt believe that his sister really valued Bai Yang more than him. How many years of feelings do you have with Bai Yang?! Ive grown up with you since childhood, for a full 15 years, 15 years! Is it really not comparable to Bai Yang who just came back three days ago?!
Tong Jings footsteps paused, and he inexplicably turned his head back. Tong Yao, whats the big deal? Its just a few questions, why are you yelling so loudly? This kids temper has been getting worse and worse lately! "Little Yao, stop throwing a tantrum, I——"
"I told you not to go!" Tong Yao didnt even let Tong Jing finish speaking, and he roared in anger. His eyes also stopped pretending, looking gloomy and furious.
Tong Jing stood still, her chest heaving up and down with her breath. She was also getting angry, Tong Yao was too self-centered, everything had to revolve around him, couldnt he just give in a little? Now he wanted to quarrel with her, it seemed that she really couldnt spoil him too much!
For the first time, the siblings were at odds with each other. Tong Jing was usually lenient towards Tong Yao, but she had her own thoughts on many things and didnt always follow Tong Yaos lead. Tong Yao liked Tong Jing, so he would often compromise on many things, but this matter was a matter of life and death for him, and he wouldnt budge. Something that had always belonged to him was suddenly taken away by someone without his knowledge or consent, it was like having his heart dug out, his blood sucked dry, and his soul extracted. What could he use to survive?
"Tong Yao, what are you doing?" Tong Jings expression turned stern, her tone no longer gentle, with a hint of authority.
"Whats it to you, anyway? You cant go today, no matter what. If you dare to go, do you believe me..." Tong Yao was so angry that his teeth were chattering, and even harsher words were on the tip of his tongue. After thinking for a moment, he forced himself to swallow them back down. He was also afraid that if he said those words, his sister Tong Jing would really... never come back again.
Hes saying, believe it or not, from now on I wont let you set foot in the Tong household again.
If he really said that, then Tong Jing would never set foot in the Tong house again. She was a child adopted by the Tong family, and no matter how strong she was on the inside, there was still a vulnerable side to her. She would think about her own parents and wonder why they had abandoned her at an orphanage with such ruthlessness. Thats why she was so obedient and well-behaved in the Tong house, especially towards Tong Yao. This was all she could do to repay the Tong family for raising her. Apart from this, she didnt know how else to repay their kindness. But if one day you were to reject her and refuse to let her enter the Tong house again, she would definitely obey your words and never set foot in the Tong house again. She would be a obedient child, and this was also her vulnerable side.
But before Tong Yao could finish what he was saying, Tong Jing had already understood the underlying meaning. Her heart skipped a beat for no reason. Ah, yes, she was just a foster child in their household, and it would be easy for them to kick her out. You eat their food, use their things, and you still want to put on airs in front of them? At this moment, Tong Jings heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she felt a dull ache inside. Yet, she still looked at Tong Yao with a stubborn gaze, feeling disappointed, heartbroken, and also a little self-pitying.
Such an expression, it pained Tong Yaos heart. He knew that Tong Jing was always sensitive about the issue at home and she must have sensed the implication of his previous words, otherwise she wouldnt have had such an expression. How infuriating!
"Sister, I—” Tong Yaos voice had become unusually dry, his heart was in so much pain, he feared it was even more painful than Tong Jings. "I dont want you to go see that friend, please—” His heart was bleeding, in his life, he had already considered Tong Jing as a part of his body, Tong Jing was equivalent to his heart, without Tong Jing, how could he continue living?
He still remembers when he was very young, little Tongjing sang songs for him to listen, pulled his small hands and ran wildly in the yard, gave him sugar to eat, made paper airplanes for him, accompanied him to build blocks, all of his childhood memories were about Tongjing and him, he grew up under Tongjings protection, you say, how important is Tongjing to him?
