Chapter 49 Watching Fireflies, the Show Begins
Cheng Fenghao suppressed his displeasure and pulled Chu Xiyan to make way for Cheng Ye.
Even after Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian left, the classmates were still whispering, very curious about who bullied Young Master Feng Hao.
However, they did not have the courage to ask Chu Xiyan directly about the matters between the upper-class wealthy families.
Chu Xiyan was still sobbing in grievance, and her classmates were too embarrassed to ask her any more questions.

Cheng Ye returned to the bedroom, put down his schoolbag, then pulled open the curtains on the desk, opened the window to let in some air, and let the moonlight shine in.
The senior year of high school started school in mid-August, so now it’s around early September.
The bedroom was quiet, and Cheng Ye heard the sound of cicadas coming from outside the window.
He sat at the desk, raised his left wrist, and played with the small pink rubber band on his wrist with his right hand.
The cell phone on the desk rang. Cheng Ye glanced at the phone number and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
Cheng Ye hung up the phone.
In his address book, besides his grandmother, there is Jiang Mian.
If it is an unfamiliar number, it is either from the Cheng family or a harassing call from an advertising agency.
There is no need to answer.
On the other side, Cheng's father heard the beeping sound of the hang-up call and he immediately became furious.
Cheng Fenghao told Cheng's father about Cheng Ye's murder of Chu Xiyan.
After hearing this, Mr. Cheng immediately called Cheng Ye with his new number, but the other party didn't even answer the call and just hung up!
How could he have such a rebellious son? !
If the old man of the Chu family knew about this and blamed him, how would he put his face? !
Cheng's father angrily called the housekeeper and said, "Prepare the driver. I want to go to where Cheng Ye lives in person."
The butler lowered his brows and nodded, "Okay, Master."
-
Cheng Ye came out of the shower and heard a knock on the living room door.
He was stunned. Who would come to see him so late at night?
Cheng family?
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye's eyes turned cold.
He walked over to open the door, but saw Jiang Mian standing outside obediently.
Jiang Mian changed into a bright pink casual dress. The slim fit made her figure look graceful and ladylike.
"Cheng Ye, shall we go see the fireflies?" Jiang Mian smiled and opened her red lips.
Cheng Ye's father will come over to cause trouble for Cheng Ye soon, and then both sides will definitely be unhappy.
She didn't want Cheng Ye to be unhappy.
So before Cheng's father came, she took Cheng Ye out to see fireflies.
Cheng Ye was stunned, "Where can we go to see fireflies?"
"You'll know when you go." Jiang Mian said softly, "Are you going?"
"Yeah." Cheng Ye checked his watch and saw that it wasn't too late. "Wait, I'll change my shoes first."
He took out a pair of white sneakers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.
When Jiang Mian saw that he had changed, she took his right hand and walked down the stairs.
Cheng Ye was taken to the bus by Jiang Mian.
There were a lot of people on the bus, and it was already crowded. The driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing Jiang Mian to lose balance.
Jiang Mian instinctively threw himself into Cheng Ye's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around Cheng Ye's waist and abdomen.
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes and acquiesced to her hug.
After getting off the car, Jiang Mian took Cheng Ye through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at a quiet village.
The night breeze was cool, ruffling Jiang Mian's black hair, and a few strands of hair blew onto Cheng Ye's arm.
Cheng Ye stared at the dark environment in front of him. Are there fireflies here?
Jiang Mian turned on the flashlight on his phone and pointed to a field not far away, "Cheng Ye, let's go there!"
As he spoke, Jiang Mian clenched Cheng Ye's big hand. The warm touch felt like an electric shock, making Cheng Ye's body feel hot.
His heart was trembling and his expression was slightly dazed.
I have only seen fireflies on TV, but have never seen what they look like in person.
Cheng Ye wondered, can you really see fireflies here?
The two came to the field, and Cheng Ye heard the sound of rustling leaves.
It was pitch black as far as the eye could see.
Jiang Mian tilted his head and said, "Cheng Ye, turn your back."
Cheng Ye turned his back upon hearing this, and after waiting for a moment, he asked in a gentle voice, "Is it ok?"
Jiang Mian squatted down, rummaged around in the field for a while, and found one of the transparent jars she had placed there in advance.
"It's OK!" Jiang Mian immediately stood up straight, opened the lid, and the fireflies ran out of the jar.
When Cheng Ye turned around, he saw countless beautiful fireflies flying all over the sky.
The originally dark fields were illuminated by these fireflies, and a hint of shock flashed across Cheng Ye's eyes.
Did he really see fireflies?
Jiang Mian smiled brightly and said excitedly, "Cheng Ye, does it look good?"
A firefly landed on Cheng Ye's slender fingertips. He curled his lips, feeling warm and comfortable, and said from the bottom of his heart, "It looks good."
The fluorescent light makes Jiang Mian's well-behaved and sweet face even more beautiful.
Cheng Ye heard her gentle voice accompanied by the breeze floating into his ears, "Cheng Ye, you deserve the best things in this world."
"Even if everyone betrays you, I will still always firmly believe in you."
"Don't be fooled by my appearance that I'm easy to bully, but I can also be your strongest supporter."
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, and ripples appeared in his dark eyes.
Jiang Mian looked pure and lovely. When she looked at Cheng Ye, her eyes were full of doting. "It's their loss that they don't care about you. Time will prove everything."
Hearing this, Cheng Ye unconsciously clenched his hands, "Well, thank you."
Cheng Ye lowered his gaze and saw the mud on Jiang Mian's skirt and the rashes of varying degrees on her fair arms.
He frowned, "What happened to your arm?"
Jiang Mian raised his slender arm carelessly, and then he found the rash, "It's okay, it should be an allergy."
"Allergic?" Cheng Ye's eyes were complicated. "Why are you allergic to what?"
Jiang Mian whispered, "I'm allergic to pollen."
Cheng Ye was silent. There were many wild flowers growing in the fields.
When Jiang Mian came, he was not holding a jar full of fireflies, which meant that the jar was placed in the field.
Jiang Mian must have been allergic to pollen because he came into contact with it while squatting down just now.
Cheng Ye thought to himself, what a little fool! In order to give him a surprise and create romance, he actually hurt himself.
"Jiang Mian." Cheng Ye suddenly called her name solemnly.
"What?" Jiang Mian looked confused.
Cheng Ye's tone was filled with blame, "Are you stupid?"
"You are the stupid one!!" Jiang Mian glared at him angrily.
Cheng Ye's eyes fell on Jiang Mian's soft red lips.
He was silent for a moment, then shifted his gaze awkwardly.
There was a big tree with lush branches and leaves nearby. Jiang Mian pulled Cheng Ye to sit on the grass together, quietly admiring the fireflies flying all over the fields.
After sitting for a long time, Jiang Mian took out another can of fireflies from behind the tree. She said in a sweet voice, "Cheng Ye, you can take this can home."
Cheng Ye reached out and took it, "Okay."
At the same time, Cheng's father came over with the housekeeper and knocked on the door several times, but there was no sound from inside.
He frowned, and not a single ray of light came through the crack in the door.
Father Cheng was not sure whether Cheng Ye was sleeping or going out.
He ordered the housekeeper to check the corridor surveillance and found that Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian went out together.
Father Cheng was in a bad mood and he didn't have the energy to investigate what Cheng Ye did when he went out.
He only cared about the fact that Cheng Ye had hurt Chu Xiyan!
Tomorrow he will go to school to interrogate in person!!
It was a wasted trip and Cheng's father left with a gloomy face.
-
The next day.
As soon as Cheng Ye entered the classroom, he was called to the office by the head teacher Su Jiao.
He walked into the office, but didn't see the head teacher.
Instead, he saw the angry Father Cheng and Chu Xiyan with red eyes beside him.
Cheng Ye sat on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea nonchalantly, and sneered, "Please start your performance."
