Tang Yun snorted coldly, said nothing, and headed straight for the classroom, because class was about to start in a few minutes. Su Chen quickly grabbed Xiao Xun and followed behind her.
Before entering the classroom, Tang Yun took a deep breath, squeezed out a warm smile, and then finally walked in.
Su Chen, witnessing Tang Yun's transformation in just a mere few minutes, couldn't help but exclaim that indeed, women are fickle!
"Students, quiet down. I want to introduce a new classmate to everyone."
Tang Yun stood at the podium and said:
"This is our new classmate. Her name is..."
Tang Yun had been so preoccupied with being mad at Su Chen that she forgot to ask the girl's name.
Su Chen said with a smile, as he had just made up the name on the spot. He didn't know Xiao Xun's last name, and she didn't seem to be clear on it herself.
"Oh, the new classmate's name is Qin Xun, and I hope everyone will help her out from now on!"
As soon as Tang Yun finished speaking, all the classmates turned to look at Xiao Xun—not only was she pretty, but she also had purple hair, which was quite special!
"Su Brother, how did you get here?" At this moment, Lin Ruohan, this little girl, came over. "Who is she to you?"
Since class hadn't started yet, Tang Yun didn't say anything.
"Ruohan, how have you been recently?"
Seeing little Ruohan again made him break into a smile.
"Pretty good, Brother Su, but you haven't told me who she is?"
"She's the daughter of a friend of Brother Su. She's just arrived, so you'll have to take good care of her, okay?"
The reason he placed Xiao Xun in this class was partly because Tang Yun was a friend, after all, and also because there was the oddball little Ruohan to look out for her, which meant he could rest easy.
"No problem!" Little Ruohan declared, thumping her chest.
Immediately after, she pinched Xiao Xun's tender cheek:
"You just stick with me, little one; I've got your back!"

She looked like a little boss, yet hearing this from a girl barely in her teens made it somewhat incongruous.
Both Su Chen and Tang Yun found the scene amusing.
Not just them—Xiao Xun, looking at the girl of similar age, was somewhat puzzled as well.
In fact, both Su Chen and Tang Yun knew that with Ruohan's monstrous intellect and knowledge base, she could easily handle college already!
However, Lin Wenting was concerned that the child was still too young, and that her character was not yet well-established, which is why she hadn't sent her to the more complex environment of higher education.
"Okay then, Xiao Xun is in your hands. I'll be taking my leave now."
Hearing the bell for class ring, Su Chen said his goodbyes and prepared to leave.
Tang Yun responded with an expressionless snort.
That afternoon, at Jianghai South Train Station, a woman dressed in a body-hugging dress appeared somewhat anxious as she peered inside the exit.
The woman was striking in both looks and figure, a rarity. Especially in that dress, which perfectly showcased her exquisite curves.
Every passing man, without exception, took a moment to rest his gaze on her, his eyes shimmering with a certain light.
"Why haven't they come yet?"
Xia Qiuru said, feeling somewhat impatient.
"Don't worry, they should be here soon."
Su Chen patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Just at that moment, Xia Qiuru's eyes lit up, and she excitedly waved her hands:
"Dad, Mom, over here!"
Su Chen also looked over at the sound, and saw an elderly couple looking at Xia Qiuru with surprised delight, their faces clearly etched with the marks of years and hardship!
The two of them were carrying a large number of packages, seven or eight in total, so they were somewhat staggering and struggling as they walked.
As soon as they emerged from the exit, Su Chen and Xia Qiuru took the packages from them.
"Thank you, thank you. You must be little Su, right?"
Xia Qiuru's mother asked, sizing up Su Chen with her eyes.
Xia Qiuru immediately became a bit shy, for she knew all too well that her mother was looking at Su Chen with the eyes of a mother-in-law assessing her future son-in-law.
"Yes, I'm Su Chen, Auntie. Was the journey here tiring?"
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Not tiring, we were sitting the whole time."
Su Chen made a good first impression on Xia Qiuru's mother.
