The Rebirth of My Father in the Body of an Aloof Academic Genius

Chapter 28

Xu Jia Ning often dreamed of his mother, dreamed of the red suitcase she was carrying when she left, she didn't even look back at him.

She left very decisively.

Xu Jia Ning hinted to himself countless times that he should hate her, hate her for abandoning him, he should even erase the word "mother" from his mind.

But after all, he was not the kind of person who loved and hated to the bone.

London's mild and humid oceanic climate all year round also blew his heart very soft. He was gentle and aloof to others, not going to extremes, rarely emotional.

Over the years, the longing for his mother eventually outweighed the hatred.

He thought that as long as he could become more excellent, perhaps his mother would see him and be proud of him.

Xu Jia Ning had always worked very hard.

This also made him never lack of shy pursuers around him, he seemed to attract the liking of innocent little girls in particular.

But Xu Jia Ning was unmoved by the young and innocent little girls, he even thought he was immune to the opposite sex for a time.

Until this moment, his heart was coated with a layer of moonlight in the gloomy night.

...

The night breeze blew on her face, Xiao Qian seemed to have sobered up a bit, and was no longer hugging him.

Xu Jia Ning rode his bike through the winding alleys and stopped in front of a shabby old residential building in the old city: "Is this it?"

"Yes, thank you little brother."

Xiao Qian picked up her bag and got up, her figure staggered a bit, and Xu Jia Ning instinctively grabbed her little arm.

The skin was as smooth as fat, the slightly cool touch transmitted along the most sensitive nerves at his fingertips all the way to his brain.

Xu Jia Ning's heart contracted.

Xiao Qian saw the shyness of the teenager, she pursed her lips delicately and withdrew her hand modestly.

Lin ChuSui trotted over puffing and panting, having run nearly two kilometers, but she was not out of breath and her breathing was still calm: "Sister, is Xiao Yan at home?"

"He should be in the shop."

"Oh."

"What's up, are you looking for him?"

Lin ChuSui waved her hands again and again: "No no, just...just asking."

"By the way, aren't you staying in a hotel tonight? Why don't you just sleep with sister." Xiao Qian said to Lin ChuSui: "No need to waste money staying in a hotel."

"Ah, that would be great!" Lin ChuSui said emotionally: "Fake foreigner... Xu Jia Ning only gave me one hundred dollars, one hundred dollars can't even stay in a capsule hotel, I can only stay in a small inn."

Xiao Qian put her arm around Lin ChuSui and asked Xu Jia Ning for his consent: "Is it okay, little brother?"

Lin ChuSui didn't think Xu Jia Ning would agree, after all he and Xiao Yan were very hostile, but unexpectedly he readily agreed: "Then I'll leave her in your care."

"You, you are so rude." Xiao Qian patted his head reproachfully: "I call you little brother, so you should call me sister like little Chu and Xiao Yan."

Xu Jia Ning did not even avoid it, allowing Xiao Qian to pat his head.

"I'm a little older than Lin ChuSui, so... you're not much older than me."

"Is that so, how old are you?"

Xu Jia Ning very dishonestly and guiltily said: "Nine...teen..."

Just a few months short, might as well count it.

"Huh, aren't you and Xiao Yan classmates? Nineteen years old and still in high school?"

"I studied in England before, took a year of language classes before enrollment, and this time when I came back, in order to take the college entrance exam, I repeated a grade."

"Even if you're nineteen, you're still much younger than me, so you and Xiao Yan are both my little brothers."

"How old are you?"

Xiao Qian jokingly said: "Thirty."

She didn't expect Xu Jia Ning to be deterred by this inflated age, but he nodded silently and said, "That's the best age for a woman."

Xiao Qian looked at the teenager's sincere expression, she really couldn't help but be happy, and said gently with a smile: "You really know how to talk, I don't want Xiao Yan anymore, you can be my little brother instead."

Lin ChuSui immediately said: "Sis, don't believe him, he's like this to everyone! Pretentious, hypocritical..."

"Hmm?"

Lin ChuSui looked at Xu Jia Ning, and finally shut up.

Considering that he gave her the heads up today, she shouldn't undermine him.

However, the cheap brother's performance today was very unusual.

...

That night, after Lin ChuSui took a bath and changed into Xiao Qian's little white nightgown, she sat on the sofa scratching her head trying to do math problems.

In the past, she basically couldn't even understand the questions, but in recent times, after Xiao Yan's "one-on-one premium course", Lin ChuSui discovered that many of the questions seemed familiar.

She had an amazing memory, so the content Xiao Yan had taught her, as long as she put her heart into it, could leave a rough impression.

Therefore, many simple questions, as long as she followed the memorized formulas to work through, it seemed... she could also calculate the answer.

Lin ChuSui flipped through her workbook, and was surprised to find that her correctness rate in the last few pages seemed to be on par with the error rate, she carefully counted the checks her teacher gave her, more than a few crosses.

Unknowingly, her weakest math didn't seem so hopeless anymore.

The members of the [Nancheng No. 1 Middle School Belle Group] chat group were working together to complete their homework.

Lu Chi: "@Lin ChuSui, did the study god give you his math homework?"

Lin ChuSui: "No."

Lu Chi: "Didn't he say that as long as you finish the questions he assigned, he would give you his homework to copy?"

Lin ChuSui: "The questions he assigned are the math homework. I do it myself first, then he explains it to me again, and then I copy it again based on understanding."

Lu Chi: "..."

"This is called giving you his homework to copy? Can you agree to this?"

Lin ChuSui somehow agreed to Xiao Yan's request unknowingly, she found that she was increasingly unable to refuse any of his demands. She didn't want to see the disappointed look in his eyes.

When someone was supervising her, she hated to get rid of the restraints and be free and easy, but when she was really unsupervised, she knew how much she envied those "kites" on a string.

Although the kite was pulled by the string and didn't have the boundless freedom imagined, the other end of the string was where the heart settled.

After dad left, Lin ChuSui was blown around by the wind, not knowing where she would drift.

It was hard to have someone grab her string and tell her "I will supervise you from now on."

She didn't want to let that person down.

Lu Chi: "Boss Chu, you are the only spy among us who can infiltrate the enemy. Is the honey trap not working, or is it not fun to play dead, and actually let the study god lead you by the nose?"

Lin ChuSui: "Your boss Chu disdains to copy. If I really wanted to copy, the study god would gladly hand over his homework with both hands."

Lu Chi: "Sitting here waiting."

Seeing that Xiao Qian was drunk asleep and Xiao Yan hadn't come back yet, Lin ChuSui tiptoed to the door of his room.

Pushing open the door and turning on the light, Xiao Yan's bedroom was very small, a bed took up almost all the space, with an old wooden wardrobe standing next to it. Apart from the aisle, there was no other space.

Although the room was small, it was extremely tidy. The flat plaid bed sheets didn't have a single wrinkle, and the exercise books and test papers on the desk were stacked neatly.

As expected of a study god's room, it exuded his rigorous and serious aura.

Seeing his schoolbag on the chair, Lin ChuSui figured he must have brought his homework home before leaving.

She carefully unzipped the schoolbag and flipped through it, easily finding the math workbook.

Her heart was filled with wild joy.

She quickly opened the workbook, today's math homework was already done.

Just as he said, he had basically finished the homework in class.

As expected of the study god.

Lin ChuSui took out her phone and started taking pictures page by page.

Just then, she heard movement outside the door, it seemed someone had come back.

Lin ChuSui was shocked, and frantically shoved the workbook back into the schoolbag.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Lin ChuSui didn't have time to think, and hid in his wardrobe.

Luckily the wardrobe was big, and she was petite. Curling up her legs, she could securely hide inside.

The moment the wardrobe door closed, the bedroom door opened.

Through the gap in the wardrobe, Lin ChuSui saw Xiao Yan sit in the chair to rest for a while after entering the room.

He looked very tired, fingertips pressing his temples, then pulled himself together, turned on the desk lamp, grabbed a half-finished English test paper, and started working on it seriously.

From Lin ChuSui's perspective, she could just see his handsome side profile.

The lamplight shone on his face, and his originally cold, hard features became much softer.

Late at night, all was quiet, and she could even hear his soft breathing.

Soon, the young man finished an English test paper, then took off his shirt, preparing to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Lin ChuSui watched through the slit as this shirtless young man walked to the closet.

She tensed up, curling into a ball, afraid he would suddenly open the closet door.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan opened the closet door on the other side, taking out a change of clothes from a small drawer.

Lin ChuSui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but realized he was still standing by the closet door without leaving.

She looked at him through the slit, and saw that this guy was just standing straight in front of the closet, carefully gazing at the closet door.

Lin ChuSui was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was looking in the mirror.

Right in front of the closet was a full length mirror. This guy... was shirtless, looking in the mirror!

Although he dressed on the thin side, with his shirt off, his fair upper body and well-proportioned muscles were revealed, which surprised Lin ChuSui - she didn't expect that the usually weak-looking genius was actually quite fit, even having defined abs!

No wonder he could fight so fiercely; he had been training hard.

Lin ChuSui covered her left chest with her hand. She felt that her heartbeat echoed all around the closet.

Oh my... she felt dizzy.

However, his body was not entirely perfect. Below his chest on his right upper abdomen, there was a very obvious winding scar, probably left from that terrifying surgery.

The young man looked at that centipede-like scar with deep, dark eyes. His fingertips gently touched it as the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

"This is why I set the fire. They took what was mine, so I'll take back a hundred times more."

"Someone like me, would you dare give her to me?"

Lin ChuSui frowned.

He didn't seem to be talking to himself, but rather having a conversation with someone.

Who could he be talking to this late at night?

"I have no regrets, why should I feel guilty?"

"I just want to complete the mission as soon as possible, to survive."

"No sincerity, only deceit."

...

Seeing the dark stirrings in Xiao Yan's pitch-black eyes, Lin ChuSui felt she would go crazy!

Who on earth was he talking to?!

This late at night... he was so creepy.

Lin ChuSui remembered that day when they went to see a psychologist.

Could he really... have a mental illness like dissociative identity disorder!

Lin ChuSui thought of the many crime thriller movies she had seen about serial killers with split personalities.

During the day, they acted harmless and gentle, but in secret they were psychopathic murderers with blood-stained hands!

At first, Lin ChuSui only hid to avoid getting caught cheating on homework, thinking it was embarrassing.

Now...she sincerely felt fearful. 𝚏r𝗲ewe𝚋𝐧𝚘vel.𝚌𝚘m

Xiao Yan noticed the progress bar in the lower right corner had started going backwards―

30%, 29%, 28%, 27%, 26%...

In just a few seconds, the progress bar went straight back down to 19%!

Xiao Yan felt a bit restless. He walked to the window and took out his phone.

Just then, Lin ChuSui received a WeChat message from Xiao Yan: "???"

Fortunately...she had muted her phone after hiding in the closet.

Lin ChuSui replied: "???"

Xiao Yan: "Do you have any opinions about me?"

Lin ChuSui: "No, not at all! QAQ"

Xiao Yan: "Then why are you acting like this?"

Lin ChuSui: "Acting like what?"

After considering his wording, Xiao Yan asked: "Lin ChuSui, what have I done wrong to you?"
