Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1355 What Was Early Love?

“I’m going to look for the High Priest,” Jian Ai put away her expression and looked at Si Yue seriously.

Hearing the High Priest’s name, Si Yue was stunned. Jian Ai looked at his expression and knew that Bai Zhou did not tell Si Yue that the High Priest had taken her away.

Since he didn’t even tell Si Yue, the others probably didn’t know.

“You saw the High Priest?” Si Yue came back to his senses and asked, his voice softening.

Obviously, everyone respected the High Priest, and it was the same for Si Yue.

Jian Ai told Si Yue what had happened before saying, “The High Priest was afraid that I would suffer a backlash from the agitated power of blood, so he asked me to look for him. He will help me cultivate the power of blood.”

Hearing Jian Ai’s explanation, Si Yue felt relieved.

It turned out that the Sect Master lost control again under the power of blood and even killed someone.

He had seen the power of blood before. Although Yu Wuyuan interrupted it in time, the intimidating pressure made his scalp tingle.

For a long time, Si Yue said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.

Jian Ai thought he was still angry and couldn’t help but pat his back. She said gently, “There’s no choice. You also know how evil this power of blood is. Although I can still coexist peacefully with it now, what if I lose control again in the future and accidentally kill someone else?”

Unexpectedly, Si Yue suddenly looked up at Jian Ai and said, “I want to go with you.”

He was not angry. He just wanted to stay by Jian Ai’s side.

Jian Ai was stunned for a moment before laughing. “The High Priest’s place is in the wilderness. I don’t know if I’ll be gone for a year and a half or three to five years. Are you sure you want to go with me?”

Si Yue nodded without hesitation. “I’ll go too!”

Jian Ai looked straight at Si Yue. The cold morning wind could not blow away the tenacity in his eyes. Jian Ai nodded. “Alright, I’ll report to the High Priest. If he agrees, you’ll go with me.”

Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Si Yue’s eyes lit up.

In the winter, the days were short, and the nights were long. When the two of them arrived at school, the sky was not completely bright, but the road outside the school was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Jian Ai and Si Yue, who had disappeared for almost a month, returned to school and instantly became the focus of attention again. However, Jian Ai no longer cared about these things. Moreover, she was leaving at the end of this semester.

There was less than a month left. She only wanted to spend this period peacefully.

As soon as they entered the classroom, the noisy atmosphere froze. Everyone’s gazes instinctively landed on Jian Ai and Si Yue.

Si Yue returned to his seat as if no one was around.

“Jian Ai!”

Yan Tian was the first to rush up and said in surprise, “You’re back!”

Jian Ai smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Yi’s voice came from behind her.

“Jian Ai!”

Jian Ai turned around and smiled when she saw Lin Yi. He was wearing a long black down jacket, and the smile on his face was as dazzling as the spring wind.

“Hi, I’m back!” Jian Ai greeted him.

Not long after, the others arrived. They sat around Jian Ai’s seat and talked.

“You left without a trace. There was no news at all,” Yan Tian couldn’t help but say.

The others nodded as well. Jian Ai could only say helplessly, “I can’t leave, but I won’t disappear again before the new year. I’ll prepare for the final examination.”

“Won’t disappear before the new year? Do you mean you have to disappear after the new year?” Yan Tian continued to ask.

Jian Ai didn’t plan to tell them about this now, so she only smiled and said vaguely, “I didn’t say that.”

“We have such a close relationship. What else do you have to hide? Quickly tell us what you’ve been doing.” Yan Tian was like a chatterbox today, asking endless questions.

Jian Ai looked at Qinghuan with a helpless smile for help.

When Qinghuan received the signal, she quickly raised her hand to coax him. “Oh, alright. Jian Ai just came back, but you’re holding her and asking questions. I’m tired of hearing this. Quickly disperse! Don’t ask anymore!”

Lin Yi and Gao Yang said nothing. They only smiled and returned to their seats.

Yan Tian did not give up. In the end, Qinghuan twisted his thigh until it turned red before he left with a scream.

“Ignore him.” Xia Qinghuan turned around and smiled at Jian Ai. “But don’t blame him for being long-winded. While you were not around, he kept talking about you.”

“You said that the two of you didn’t have a good relationship in the beginning and that he always looked down on you. I think he treats you as a brother now.”

As Xia Qinghuan spoke, Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh. In fact, her relationship with Yan Tian had eased a lot after the fire at the hot spring villa. After Qinghuan entered the production team, she often arranged with Yan Tian to visit her. Over time, their relationship naturally became better.

Yan Tian’s personality was very simple. Whether he liked it or not, it was all on his face. He was a straightforward person.

It was just that sometimes, he was silly. In Qinghuan’s words, he was simple-minded and muscular. This was both a strength and a weakness.

At the mention of Yan Tian, Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at Qinghuan worriedly. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “You’re a public figure now. About you and Yan Tian…”

Jian Ai had finished speaking, but the meaning behind her words was obvious.

The two of them had been in a relationship for a long time. Although Qinghuan usually ordered Yan Tian around, Jian Ai knew she liked Yan Tian a lot.

However, Qinghuan was already quite famous now. She would probably be very famous before ‘Interweaving Night’ was released. At that time, her private life would be magnified, and she would not be able to hide her relationship with Yan Tian.

To Qinghuan, it was useless to hide. The entire Erzhong knew she was dating Yan Tian. Any reporter could investigate thoroughly.

That was why Jian Ai was worried. She was always afraid negative news would plague Qinghuan or that someone else would deliberately make an issue out of it. After all, in a place like the entertainment circle, there were always countless tricks.

However, facing Jian Ai’s worry, Xia Qinghuan smiled and said casually, “I’ll say whatever I have to say!”

Jian Ai was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn’t react to Qinghuan.

Qinghuan shrugged indifferently and said naturally, “I won’t give up my life because of my profession. I’m an actress. Acting is my responsibility. Of course, I’m also a public figure. It’s also my social responsibility to have a positive image.”

“But other than that, I don’t seem to need or want to overcorrect my life.”
