"Are you kidding? You only know me for one or two hours. You want me to be your friend? And what's with you want to teach me the high school syllabus?" Zhan Fang was dumbfounded. This was the first time someone initiated to be her friend. But still how can she believe a kid.
Bao Yu looked at Zhan Fang, "When I was alone without any friend, Yi Chen became my friend. Now I know that you also needed a friend so what's wrong with me asking you to be my friend?" BaoYu answerd her with question.
Zhan Fang bit her lips, "So you really wanted to be my friend?"
Bao Yu smiled, "Yes, my lady. If you become my friend you will get another one for free" Bao Yu grabbed Yi Chen who startled, "Hey don't drag me into your craziness"
Zhan Fang nodded her head, "Okay, I'll be your friend"
Bao Yu pushed Yi Chen away and sat next to Zhan Fang, "Great. Now tell me how can I help you with your studies"
Zhan Fang looked at Bao Yu, "I'm in final year. How can you help me? I think first years in high school have their exams in this week. Are you not preparing for your exam?"
Bao Yu shook her head, "I'm not going to school. I prefer to work"
Zhan Fang looked shocked, "You're not going to school? How lucky!"
Yi Chen gasped at her, "You have to ask her why are you not going to school instead of envying her"
Zhan Fang ignored him, "Then how can you help me with studies?"
Bao Yu smirked, "I'm an alien. I have the power to memorize everything once I read" Bao Yu smiled like a mad girl.
Yi Chen and Zhan Fang looked at each other and turned away from her.
Bao Yu looked annoyed, "Hey, Yi Chen don't act like you didn't hear me. If you do I will not help you with your homework anymore" Bao Yu puffed her cheeks as she sat.
Yi Chen panicked, "Oh my sweet little bunny, don't get angry. I will buy you lot of fried chicken for you to eat" He messaged her shoulder.
Bao Yu eyes lit up at the mentioning of chicken, "I'll forgive you this time"
Zhan Fang giggled by seeing them. Somewhat she felt that she's not alone anymore without friends.
Zhan Fang was not studying in the same school as Yi Chen or the trio. So once the school got over Zhan Fang rushed to Madam Yi's restaurant to look for Bao Yu. Zhan Fang also started to distancing herself from her classmates who are only looking for the benefits from her.
Bao Yu helped ZhanFang and Yi Chen with their studies.
One day Ning Xuan was half slept while doing her maths homework. Bao Yu saw that and helped her to finish it off. Next day when Ning Xuan saw that as she thought Qing Ze must have helped her.
When Ning Xuan thanked him for helping her Qing Ze looked puzzled he said he didn't helped her with her homework. Ning Xuan turned to Bai Ling who also shook his head.
"Then don't tell me I did it by myself" Ning Xuan gasped in surprise. Qing Ze glared at her, "You don't even know how to do fourth grade problems and this is not your handwriting"
"If it's not me or you or Bai Ling then who could've solved this problems?" Ning Xuan eyes landed on Bao Yu who was helping Papa Ning in the kitchen to bring out the dishes on the table. Qing Ze and Bai Ling followed her gaze and saw Bao Yu as she sat in front of them to have breakfast.
"Hey, no way" Bai Ling immediately waved his hands in front Ning Xuan. "Yeah, you're right. No way she could have done it"
Bao Yu looked confused when they said that.
Just then Bai Ling phone ringed. He looked at the caller name. Bai Ling hesitated before he declined the call and turned it off.
"Who was that?" Qing Ze asked him. "One of my fangirls. They love me too much" Bai Ling said casually. Hearing that Bao Yu started to cough, Qing Ze who was sitting next to her handed over the water to her.
'This jerk, it was obviously from his parents. How can he lie without any shame' Bao Yu glared at Bai Ling who felt her stare and looked up to see her.
Qing Ze and Ning Xuan looked at each other, they find something going on with Bai Ling which he was not ready to tell them and Bao Yu must have known the reason.
Once they finished eating the trio went out to go to school and Bao Yu to the restaurant. Ning Xuan winked at Qing Ze and took Bai Ling with her.
Qing Ze understood as he stayed behind to have a chat with Bao Yu.
"You didn't leave?" Bao Yu saw Qing Ze standing near the house entrance.
"I was waiting for you. Come I'll take you to the restaurant" Qing Ze took the Bicycle and asked her to hop on.
Bao Yu looked confused why he suddenly wants to take her to the restaurant. Is it because he wants to ride the bicycle back to the school?
Bao Yu mind wandered all over as she sat on the bicycle. Once they reach the restaurant Bao Yu looked at Qing Ze, "What do you want from me?"
Qing Ze was bit embarrassed, "Do you know what's happening with Bai Ling? Now a days he kind of bit lost. It's like he's hiding something from us"
Bao Yu sweated inwardly. That jerk asked her to not tell anyone but he was showing it to everyone that he was caught up in some problems.
By seeing her reaction Qing Ze was hundred percent sure that Bao Yu know the reason.
"Bao Yu, don't hide from me. Bai Ling is like my younger brother. I'm afraid he was struggling himself. Please tell me" Qing Ze begged her. Bao Yu know that it's not her place to tell him, "I don't know what you're saying"
"Bao Yu don't act like you don't know" Qing Ze gripped her shoulder. He was afraid that Bai Ling might caught up in any serius problem.
Bao Yu yanked his hands, "If it's about Bai Ling why are you asking me? You should ask him not me" with that she entered into the restaurant leaving him behind
Qing Ze looked helpless as he left to school.
Qing Ze said to Ning Xuan that he didn't able to get anything from Bao Yu. So they came up with another plan. After school the trio went to the nearby cafe.
Bai Ling noticed that the two of them looked serious, "Ning Xuan if you don't want your sandwich then I'll eat it".
He took the sandwich from her plate. Even though Ning Xuan was bit sad seeing her favourite sandwich was taken away by him still she wants to maintain a poker face in front of him, if she wants to know what's happening with him.
Bai Ling looked confused because he didn't see the reaction which he was expected to see from her. Qing Ze also didn't scolded him for taking away her sandwich.
"What's wrong with you two?"Bai Ling asked them.
"What's wrong with you? how long are you planning to hide it from us?" Qing Ze finally snapped at him.
Bai Ling face changed after he heard it from Qing Ze, "I don't understand what you are saying".
"Don't act. We know everything" Ning Xuan said to him. Bai Ling eyes widened in shock, 'How could they know?' He turned to her, "Did Bao Yu said anything to you?"
Instead of answering him Ning Xuan said "How could you hide this from us?"
Bai Ling slumped his shoulder, "I just don't want to worry you. I told my biological father firmly that I won't go back with him. You guys are my family, Not them. When I needed them the most they abandoned me in the orphanage now they became rich so they want me back. There's no way I am going back to them"
It was too much information for Qing Ze and Ning Xuan. They thought it could be something small that was bothering Bai Ling but they didn't expected it could be this big.
Bai Ling looked at their faces mistaken for that they thought he was betrayed them for hiding it from them. He got angry at Bao Yu for spilling his secret to them which he want to hide it from them.
On their way to the home none of them spoke. Bai Ling stopped, "You guys go in. I have to go somewhere" with that he walked opposite way.
"Qing Ze what to do if his parents take him away?" Ning Xuan eyes watered. Qing Ze hugged her, "Don't worry. Papa Ning legally adopted him. His father is Papa Ning and You're his sister. He won't leave you guys"
Ning Xuan sobbed in his shoulder. Suddenly she moved away from him, "Oh no, Bai Ling must have misunderstood that Bao Yu was the one who told us about his issues. He must have gone to confront her"
"I forgot to tell him it was not her" Qing Ze and Ning Xuan ran towards the Madam Yi's restaurant hoping they could stop Bai Ling before he could do anything stupid to Bao Yu.
