"Since Brother Hu has said so, I have no choice but to accept. Thank you, Brother Hu!" I cupped my hands toward Brother Hu to express my gratitude.

And the bald man kneeling on the ground also excitedly kowtowed to me: "Thank you, Young Master Yang, thank you, Young Master Yang!"

"What does Brother Yang plan to do next?" Yellow Tiger looked at me and asked.

"What can I do? First, I need to stand firm. Right now, Zhang Longtao is constantly trying to kill me, and there's still Li Hong at school that I haven't dealt with yet. Where would I have time to consider anything else?"

"It's fine, I believe in Brother Yang. Those small matters definitely won't stump you. Come, let's have a drink!"

Next, we just ate a little and chatted. Basically, we talked about useless things. At the same time, Yellow Tiger also tried to indirectly inquire about my news and background through Zhang Wu and Xu Hongzhi. However, he was overthinking it; what kind of background could I have? I was just an ordinary person, an orphan with no father or mother.

After the meal, we parted ways, and the bald man followed me. I turned my head to look at the bald man and asked him, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Replying to Young Master Yang, my name is Zhang Qiang. Everyone calls me A-Qiang, or Baldy. Young Master Yang can just call me A-Qiang!" Zhang Qiang said nervously.

"It's fine, you don't need to be so nervous. Just follow me and do things well in the future. I'm usually at school, and the school doesn't usually let outsiders in, so you don't need to come find me when there's nothing going on. If there's something, just call me!"

"Alright, Young Master Yang!"

Hearing the title "Young Master Yang" from Zhang Qiang, I frowned slightly, then said to him, "Don't call me Young Master Yang, change the title!"

"Then, Brother Yang?"

"Fine, as long as it's not Young Master Yang!"

I don't know why, but I naturally had some aversion to the title "Young Master Yang." As for why, I couldn't say.

Over these past few days, my relationship with Su Xueya had also become closer. When we were free, we would go out to play together, but she was quite frugal and basically didn't want to go to places that cost money. This saved me a lot of money, as our own finances weren't great. However, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a holiday students were very much looking forward to. Because the third year of high school was particularly bitter and tiring with no holidays, the Mid-Autumn Festival was one of the few times we could have a break. Although it was only a day or two, it was better than nothing. Everyone was excited about going home for a reunion, but these things had nothing to do with me and Third Brother.

However, I recently heard that Chen Duxiu had started hanging out with Li Hong. It seemed they had reached some kind of consensus, but I didn't know the specifics; I just heard it from others.

This day, I encountered an infrequent guest, Zhuge Yue, whom I hadn't seen for a long time. Zhuge Yue walked up to us at noon. When Zhang Wu saw Zhuge Yue's appearance, his eyes went straight. Hu Wei, who was beside him, was so angry that she pinched Zhang Wu several times before he came back to his senses. Zhuge Yue walked up to me, and Su Xueya, who was beside me, looked at her vigilantly.

Zhuge Yue smiled at Su Xueya and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to steal your man!"

Having her thoughts suddenly exposed by Zhuge Yue, Su Xueya was quite embarrassed. Then Zhuge Yue said to me, "Yang Yun, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving!"

"Ah? You're leaving? Are you transferring schools? The college entrance exam is coming up, you...?" I looked at Zhuge Yue in surprise.

"Yeah, my family wants me to go back. I snuck out this time, and I mainly came to see you. Since I've seen you, it's time for me to go back!" Zhuge Yue said indifferently.

However, as soon as Zhuge Yue's words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on me and Zhuge Yue, their expressions surprised. I felt the murderous gaze of Su Xueya beside me and immediately said, "See me? Don't mess around, Big Sister, we don't even know each other, why did you come to see me?"

"It's true we haven't met, but I know you. It's just that you don't understand yet. One day you will know, and we will meet again!" Zhuge Yue smiled and said.

"Oh my, it seems Fourth Brother is a scumbag. You don't even remember others, but they remember you. Truly a scumbag. What kind of shameful thing did you do to make a girl travel thousands of miles to find you?" Third Brother looked at me with a wicked smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What I've done all these years, of course I know. How could I not know I did something like this?" I said anxiously, patting Third Brother to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Zhuge Yue also laughed out loud and said to me, "I won't tease you anymore. But I really did come to find you. As for the reason and why, you'll know in the future!"

I looked at Zhuge Yue speechlessly and pleaded, "Big Sister, I beg you, stop messing with me, okay? I'm going to be finished!"

Then I quickly explained to Su Xueya beside me: "Xueya, listen to me, it's not what you think. She and I really don't know each other from before, and she and I have no relationship. Believe me!"

Su Xueya nodded indifferently and said, "Hmm, I believe you!"

However, looking at her reaction and the situation, she probably didn't believe it. I was in despair. At this moment, Zhuge Yue also said to Su Xueya, "Um, do you mind if we talk alone?"

Su Xueya nodded to indicate it was okay. But I was panicked; I was afraid Zhuge Yue would tell Su Xueya something random, and I was also afraid Su Xueya would misunderstand.

"Don't worry, it's nothing, it won't affect you! Don't you trust me yet? If I wanted to finish you off, would you still be alive now?" Zhuge Yue comforted me.

Hearing Zhuge Yue's words, I was relieved. Indeed, if Zhuge Yue really wanted to finish me off, she wouldn't have saved me those few times before. Now I still owed Zhuge Yue a few favors.

Zhuge Yue took Su Xueya to a deserted place and said to Su Xueya, "I originally wanted you to help me look after Yang Yun, but I guess you won't be able to stay by Yang Yun's side for long. In any case, be careful yourself. You might encounter danger later, so look after yourself!"

"Wait, what do you mean? What do you mean I won't be able to stay by Yang Yun's side for long?" Su Xueya grabbed Zhuge Yue, wanting her to explain clearly.

"Everything is arranged by fate. In any case, just be careful. I have to go too; if I don't leave now, I'll miss my flight!" After finishing, Zhuge Yue left directly, leaving Su Xueya in a daze.

When I saw Su Xueya return, I asked, "What's wrong? Did she tell you something? Why do I feel like you're acting weird now?"

"Ah, no, she's already gone. We just chatted about some things, nothing major! By the way, she finally told us to be careful of Chen Duxiu. What does that mean? She didn't say!" Su Xueya frowned, as if thinking about something. At this moment, I had a splitting headache.
