320 The Competition
Sun Yi covered his eyes and said, “Oh my! They’re so obviously showing off their love. I can’t take it anymore. I miss my girlfriend too. I want to give my dear girlfriend some little buns too.”
Guan Lei glared at Sun Yi, who was teasing them. But everyone could see the unconcealed smile in his eyes.
...“Xi, did you see the message in the group? It’s said that the top three of the Rong City Cup will represent Rong City in the competition in Beijing,” said Zhao Yuan as she looked at her phone while biting the dumpling.
Shen Xi nodded and said, “I know. I’ve already received the notice. I’ll be going there in two days. It can be considered a research trip.”
Guan Lei looked at his phone and asked in confusion, “What group?”
Zhao Yuan said matter-of-factly, “It’s the class group chat. You can see it when you open it.”
Then, as if she had discovered a new continent, Zhao Yuan looked at Guan Lei and asked, “Oh my god! You’ve transferred here for more than two months but you still haven’t joined the group.”
Sun Yi, who was at the side, bit into a meat dumpling and said, “Brother Lei said he wouldn’t add. We don’t even have his social media account. We only contact him through his phone number. Don’t you think he’s cool?”
Zhao Yuan asked in disbelief, “Brother Lei, don’t tell me you didn’t add any of your classmates as friends.”
Guan Lei handed Shen Xi a tissue. “No, I added my Xi.”
Guan Lei didn’t want to add anyone before, so he didn’t add anyone to his previous account either. After he got a new account, he only added Shen Xi.
“Oh, my Xi. Tsk, tsk, tsk! The couple is the most annoying thing in the world,” teased Wang San from the side.
Zhao Yuan put down her phone and said, “Then I’ll let your Xi add you to the group. Only those you have added can do so.”
Shen Xi was also very surprised. It had been almost two months since Guan Lei transferred to this school, but she was the only one he added. This kind of unique existence made Shen Xi inexplicably happy.
Shen Xi picked up her phone and added Guan Lei to the class group.
Sun Yi’s “Welcome, Brother Lei!” instantly stirred up the class group’s happy atmosphere.
Guan Lei recalled that Shen Xi was going to Beijing, and the thought of going to Beijing popped up in his mind again.
After a day of thinking, Guan Lei sent a message to Li Zhe. “Li Zhe, I’m going back to Beijing. Don’t tell my grandfather.”
Although Guan Lei knew that the possibility was low, he still wanted to give it a try. As long as he could convince Li Zhe, there would be fewer obstacles on the way back. He would not have to face Li Zhe.
On the other end, Li Zhe received Guan Lei’s message and directly rejected him. Then, he said to Meng Yu with a difficult expression, “Yu, help me to look after Lei. I’m afraid he’ll run back to Beijing on his own.”
It was killing two birds with one stone to let Meng Yu, who wanted to go back to Beijing to die, stop Guan Lei. He could protect both of them.
“Why does he suddenly want to go back? Didn’t he already promise Guan Yi not to return?” Meng Yu’s good-looking brows furrowed as he asked in a puzzle.
Li Zhe couldn’t think of a reason either. Didn’t he already say it? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Li Zhe guessed, “I think Lei probably wants to go back and personally catch the person behind this. However, returning to Beijing this time was no small matter. Those people come for Lei, and once he returns, he’ll be in grave danger. You must stop him no matter what.”
Meng Yu sighed softly and said, “Alright, I’ll bring some people over in a while. During this time, I’ll stay by his side and not let him go back.”
Li Zhe nodded. As long as Guan Lei didn’t return to Beijing, then Meng Yu, who had always regarded Guan Lei as more important than his life, naturally wouldn’t return to the place which was full of danger.
“Then I’ll go and prepare.” Meng Yu picked up his phone and left.
As soon as he returned to his room, Meng Yu took out another mobile phone from the drawer. Then he directly sent the message that Guan Lei was determined to return to Beijing to an unfamiliar number.
In the overlapping courtyards and the antique study room, an elegant silver-haired old woman put down the brush in her hand. Then she picked up her phone to read the message she had received.
Then, the old woman frowned and said to the door, “Ying, come in.”
The person called Ying gently pushed the door open and asked respectfully, “Old Madam, I’ll take your order.”
The old woman’s face was filled with worry as she said slowly, “Make some arrangements now. I’ll go to the island immediately. Find a chance to call Lei tomorrow and tell him that there’s something wrong with my body and I’m unconscious. Lead him to the island.”
After decades of getting along and understanding the Guan family, Ying only had to think about it slightly to understand the old madam’s meaning. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
