“Brother, I didn’t skip class…”

“Hmm?”

Qin Lu sat across from her, adopting a boss-like posture. He crossed his long legs, leaned back in his seat, and turned the ordinary wooden chair into something resembling an office.

With that came a palpable sense of pressure.

Nan Yan met his somewhat intimidating gaze, unable to speak the words she had intended to explain herself.

“Brother, I’m sorry.” She quickly admitted her mistake. “I’ll go to school now.”

After saying that, she grabbed her backpack and prepared to stand up.

Qin Lu tapped his finger lightly on the desk, calmly stopping her. “No rush, sit down first, let’s talk about why you didn’t go to class.”

Nan Yan was speechless.

They really weren’t that close!

Could he please stop interfering so much?

Nan Yan silently mocked him in her mind.

In reality, she obediently sat back down, lowered her head without saying a word, and didn’t want to speak about it.

“Don’t want to talk about it?”

Nan Yan: “…”

It was her private matter, why should she talk about it?

Qin Lu chuckled softly.

Deep voices were seductive. Although it was just an ordinary laugh, to Nan Yan’s ears, it sounded both charming and teasing.

She didn’t want to look at him anymore and pretended not to hear his words, remaining silent.

Qin Lu took out his phone and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, he casually ordered, “Give me the phone number of the head teacher of Class 4, Grade 2 at Zhide High School.”

Nan Yan suddenly raised her head, looking at him with a surprised expression.

“Brother, are you that free?”

Qin Lu nonchalantly placed the disconnected phone on the desk. “I’m not free but I can still meddle a little in the affairs of little kids.”

Nan Yan felt tired in her heart. “I’m not a little kid, I’m an adult.”

“High school students are still kids.”

Nan Yan: “…”

She really wanted to splash coffee on his face and make him mind his own business.

But…

She didn’t dare.

Soon, the phone placed on the desk by Qin Lu lit up.

The other party sent the phone number directly to his phone in front of Nan Yan.

In front of Nan Yan, Qin Lu made a call using that number.

Nan Yan really wanted to snatch the phone and hang up, but it was just wishful thinking.

After Qin Lu connected with the homeroom teacher, he introduced himself, “I’m Nan Yan’s brother.”

“Oh, so you’re Nan Yan’s brother. Hello!”

Qin Lu looked at Nan Yan, who had an expression of disbelief, with a faintly indifferent tone. “I called this time to inquire about her performance at school.”

“Well…”

The homeroom teacher honestly informed Qin Lu about Nan Yan’s ‘achievements’ over the past two days.

“Nan Yan was only acting in self-defense and didn’t provoke the incident herself. We understand that. However, she went a bit too far in her actions. We hope her parents can educate her well and help her restrain herself.”

“Thank you for your concern. I will remind her of these things.” Qin Lu glanced at Nan Yan, his gaze carrying a hint of playfulness. He asked softly, “So, she didn’t go to school today. What was the reason?”

“Didn’t Madam An inform you? It’s actually nothing major. It’s just that An Muyao complained of arm pain, and they all insisted that Nan Yan was responsible. So Nan Yan went to the hospital with them.”

“I don’t know the results of the examination, but I believe Nan Yan didn’t do it.”

“By the way, sir, which brother of Nan Yan are you? I’ll make a note so that if there’s anything in the future, we can contact you.”

From today’s observation of Lu Lehua’s attitude towards Nan Yan, as well as Nan Yan’s attitude towards her, the homeroom teacher felt that it would be better not to involve Lu Lehua if they needed to call the parents in the future.

The An family has many brothers, so if necessary, they can call a few of them.

This current brother is fine, he even took the initiative to call and ask about Nan Yan’s performance in school. He’s quite responsible.

Qin Lu’s gaze fell on Nan Yan’s speechless face as he calmly said, “I’m not her biological brother, but if there are any matters concerning Nan Yan, you can contact me too.”

“Oh… I see. Alright, then I’ll note you as Nan Yan’s brother.”

“Thank you for your effort, teacher.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Lu reached out and pinched Nan Yan’s cheek. “You didn’t want to go to school because you were being ostracized, right?”

With her face being pinched, Nan Yan mumbled, “No.”

Qin Lu didn’t hear her denial and continued, “If you don’t like it, we can change schools. Where do you want to go?”

Unable to bear it any longer, Nan Yan slapped his hand away from her face. The previous pleasing smile disappeared from her face as she calmly said, “I’m not changing schools.”

“Mr. Qin, we have no relation, and yet you seem to be meddling too much, don’t you think?”

Qin Lu regretfully withdrew his hand, lazily propping his head up to look at her. “You’re so rude. Why are you calling me ‘Mr. Qin’? Call me ‘brother.’”

“Qin…”

Before she could finish saying “Mister,” she met his gaze that was filled with overwhelming oppression. Nan Yan bit her lip and reluctantly changed her words, “Brother…”

Couldn’t she stand up for herself?

Why did she have to be so submissive in front of him…

Ultimately, Nan Yan felt that the intense pressure emanating from him made her instinctively sense the danger and not dare to confront him directly.

However, the attitude this man was displaying now showed no hostility towards her.

At most, he was just a little obsessed with having a ‘brother’ role with her.

What could she do?

Just go along with it.

“Brother, I don’t want to transfer schools. I want to stay here.”

“Then change classes.”

“Can I not change?”

“That class has a bad atmosphere, and it could affect your studies.”

“They can’t affect me.”

Qin Lu saw her insistence and pondered for a moment before making a request, “Prove it with your grades in the upcoming exams.”

“Okay, I can do that.”

Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all the excessive things that Class 4 of the second year had done to the original owner, there was no way she would transfer classes without dealing with them first.

Finally, Nan Yan was carried into the car by Qin Lu.

Nan Yan couldn’t help but ask, utterly puzzled, “Brother, can I ask why you’re so concerned about me?”

They didn’t originally know each other, and they thought they wouldn’t have a chance to meet again after their previous encounter.

In the end, there were incidents that got in the way, and the situation completely went beyond her control.

Qin Lu seemed to sense a hint of resentment in the girl’s voice. He tilted his head and casually rubbed her head with his hand, saying, “I find you pleasing to the eye, and I have nothing else to do, so I care about you a bit.”

Bullshit—

Nan Yan didn’t believe his explanation for a second.

Qin Lu, a person like him, clearly didn’t like troubles or meddling in other people’s affairs.

She had seen through his true nature from their initial meeting.

But what happened afterward, and his current behavior, completely contradicted his character.

“You don’t like it when I care about you?”

Nan Yan licked her rosy lips and boldly asked, “If I say yes, would you stop meddling?”
