Su Huarui was usually busy with work, and rarely paid much attention to his daughter's studies.
At this moment, he finally noticed a familiar figure in the class photo—it was Xiao Ye… Ye Qiu!
"Didn't expect Xiao Ye to be in the same class as Tongtong?!"
Su Huarui couldn't help but marvel at fate.
Nearby, Qin Sisi frowned and said, "Uncle Su, you're being too superstitious.
How can you judge someone's character by 'face reading'?"
Actually, Qin Sisi had another purpose for visiting Su Xintong—to help Chen Ziheng make a connection!
Because her boyfriend Cao Fan had business dealings with Chen Ziheng's family car dealership.
After some contact, they had come to know each other.
Once Chen Ziheng learned that Qin Sisi and Su Xintong were good friends, he asked Qin Sisi to speak well of him in front of Su Xintong.
If Qin Sisi succeeded in setting them up, Chen Ziheng would gift her the red Cayenne she had longed for!
But now, things felt off.
"Face is born from the heart; that's the wisdom of the elders, not superstition,"
Su Huarui lightly cleared his throat.
Some things couldn't be said plainly.
Qin Sisi hurried to say, "Uncle Su, judging only by face is unscientific!
And you probably don't know these two well.
That tall, thin boy is Chen Ziheng—very wealthy!"
"Also surname Chen?"
Su Huarui frowned deeply and snorted coldly, "So what if he's rich?
Our family doesn't worry about food or clothes; whether he has money or not doesn't concern us!"
Qin Sisi was stunned, not understanding why Uncle Su suddenly reacted so strongly.
Su Xintong was also surprised.
Although she had no special feelings for Chen Ziheng, he was the most outstanding boy in the class—good-looking, good at studies, and even the class monitor!
Looking again at the other person her father pointed at—that guy was average at studies, uncooperative, and often absent from class.
So indeed, judging a person by face is really inaccurate!
Qin Sisi told Su Huarui, "I understand you don't like Chen Ziheng, but the other classmate you pointed at is far worse than Chen Ziheng!"
Upon hearing this, Su Huarui suddenly changed his stubborn stance, smiled contentedly while pointing at Ye Qiu's image in the photo, and said, "What's bad about him?
This young man is handsome and pleasing to the eye!"
"..."
Qin Sisi was stunned.
What the heck?
She quickly said, "Uncle Su, this guy's name is… Ye Qiu, yes, that's the name, and he just made Su Xintong angry!"
"Just now? Just now he clearly…"
Su Huarui wanted to say something but feared worrying his daughter, so he said, "It must be a misunderstanding.
Besides, Tongtong is the class monitor and should be more tolerant of classmates."
This time, not only Qin Sisi didn't understand, but Su Xintong also stared wide-eyed, shocked at her father!
Goodness!
Just hearing this, one might think Ye Qiu is your son!
You're clearly not favoring your daughter at all!
"Uncle Su, but he… he's an orphan and poor…"
Qin Sisi got anxious and started to lose her composure.
Before she finished, Su Huarui frowned and interrupted, "So what if he's an orphan?
So what if he's poor?
Tongtong is also from a single-parent family, she should make friends with people who share similar experiences!"
Saying this, he stood up, then added, "Tongtong, when you have time, invite this kid to our home for a meal."
After saying that, he turned and went back to his bedroom.
Qin Sisi looked displeased.
Su Xintong sighed helplessly, "Sisi, don't talk nonsense anymore.
My dad hates people who use others' hardships to make points."
Qin Sisi glanced at Su Xintong and said, "You really should talk to your dad.
What era is this, still so superstitious?
No wonder he's always a driver and doesn't know how to pick his friends!
He actually wants you to be friends with a poor orphan!
I really have nothing to say!"
She was also a bit angry.
After speaking, she got up, packed her things, and left.
Su Xintong sat alone, wanting to cry but holding back tears.
They had just started eating together so well, how did it turn out like this?
She also blamed Qin Sisi a bit, wondering why she randomly brought up "dating" and kept praising Chen Ziheng.
Did they even know each other?
Back in her room, Su Xintong picked up her phone and idly browsed through it.
But the more she scrolled, the more bored she got, because all the news, short videos, and forums were about the brain game.
She wasn't very interested.
Then she opened the chat group.
As expected, the chat was also about the game!
However...
in a local group, someone posted a video with comments like:
"Holy crap! A real martial arts master in reality!"
"One person fighting twenty or thirty!"
"Amazing!"
"Thought it was staged, but it's real!"
Su Xintong, curious, opened the video.
Then, "Dad?!"
Her eyes suddenly widened, because the video showed her father, Su Huarui!
Her father was there with a reporter and a cameraman, at a car dealership, arguing.
Su Xintong suddenly remembered her father had said he planned to buy a car.
The money was ready!
But until now, the new car hadn't appeared.
Watching further, she saw the dealership people surrounding her father, holding metal batons, speaking threats with grim expressions.
Her father's helpless figure made Su Xintong's heart ache!
If her father hadn't already safely returned home now, she might have cried with worry!
But immediately, Su Xintong covered her mouth, her eyes red, tears streaming down.
In the video, a BMW appeared, and a man who looked very much like Chen Ziheng got out.
Then, he walked up to her father, lifted his foot, and kicked him to the ground!
The man arrogantly led a group of people, planning to beat her father to death!
"Dad!"
Su Xintong was terrified, sat up straight, held her breath, staring at the video.
She couldn't understand how her father survived such a scene!
She was scared, worried her father had been killed, and that the one who had just returned was his ghost!
When one thug's baton was about to hit her father, suddenly!
The screen flashed.
A familiar figure appeared in the video—"Ye… Ye Qiu?!"
Ye Qiu kicked the thug away, stood in front of her father, shielding him.
Opponents kept coming, at least twenty or thirty people!
But, what made Su Xintong tear up and stare dumbfounded was that Ye Qiu seemed like a superhero, single-handedly knocking down the entire group!
He even forced that "Young Master Chen" to return the car money her father had been trying to get for over a year!
Closing the video, Su Xintong was stunned for a long while, then wiped her tears, hurried to open her bedroom door, and saw her father washing the dishes outside.
Hearing her, Su Huarui turned his head, apologetically said, "Tongtong, Dad was in a bad mood earlier and upset your friend..."
"Dad!"
Su Xintong hurried over, hugged him, and couldn't stop sobbing.
Her father always hid the bad things in life from her, not wanting to worry her!
But this time, Su Xintong was really scared!
If not for Ye Qiu, she might have lost her only parent forever!
Seeing his daughter's state, Su Huarui understood she probably knew what happened at the dealership today.
He smiled and comforted her, "I'm fine, see? I can lift you with one hand!"
Saying this, he grabbed her arm, lifted it, and her feet left the ground a few centimeters, then he relaxed and put her down.
"Tsk, weird.
Xiao Ye looks skinny but easily lifted that Young Master Chen like a toy.
Tongtong, have you gained weight recently?"
Su Huarui joked.
Su Xintong finally smiled through tears.
She understood why her father had been biased against Chen Ziheng but fond of Ye Qiu.
"Dad, tomorrow I'm going to find Ye Qiu and bring him home for dinner!"
Su Xintong said seriously.
After all, he was their lifesaver!
Su Huarui smiled with satisfaction, "I've known Xiao Ye a long time; he's kind and pitiful..."
In Su Xintong's mind, Ye Qiu's blurry figure appeared.
To be honest, in three years of high school, she knew every classmate quite well, but Ye Qiu was the only one she had a vague impression of.
This wasn't her fault; Ye Qiu had always been mediocre in every way, with a withdrawn personality, not fitting in, often ignored during class events.
...
At this moment, Ye Qiu had already entered the game, bringing the materials with him to make Molotov cocktails inside.
This way, he could save time!
"Finally finished!"
Ye Qiu stretched, then went to Novice Village, found the Herbalist Lady, and took out the "polluted ancient spring water."
"Huh? Immortal-Human Springwater?"
The Herbalist Lady was shocked upon seeing the spring water.
Ye Qiu asked, "Madam Master, can this spring water be purified?"
He hadn't forgotten that, according to Tian Mu's observation, before the ancient spring water was polluted, taking it internally or applying it externally
could increase certain attributes slightly!
No matter how small the increase, it was still an increase!
The Herbalist Lady came back to her senses and nodded, saying, "You're lucky. If this spring water had been discovered any later, it would have been completely polluted and impossible to purify."
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrow.
Seems like good luck really helps!
Purification took about half an hour.
After purifying the ancient spring water, its information changed…
