This was the first time Tian Xinyuan and Ye Chen returned to school after getting married. The young man sat in the car with his backpack, looking a little restless.

This wedding, which was celebrated so grandly in the entire city, was even specially reported by several media outlets. How could there be no one at school who is unaware of it?

Tian Xinyuan was not worried about becoming the center of attention overnight at school. After all, if you look at the entire school, it would be hard to find another student of the same age who is already married. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle people looking at him with that kind of probing gaze.

Yizhong is not a highly confidential private school, but it's not without some rich kids attending either. Besides, Tian Xinyuan took a year off school and has just been assigned to the new class of Grade 12 this year. He doesn't know many people in the school, as his classmates from the previous two years have already graduated and gone to university. If there's anyone familiar, it would probably be his unfortunate childhood friend Ji Chuan Yu, who had to repeat a grade.

At 7:45, the driver skillfully parked the car right in front of the school gate.

Tian Xinyuan opened the car door, but before he could step out of the car, he suddenly thought that he should bid farewell to the Alpha who had brought him. With this in mind, he turned around and glanced at the other person.

Not long after the car hit the road, Ye Chen received a phone call. Tian Xinyuan sat beside him and heard Ye Chen's impatient click before he picked up the call. The voice on the other end sounded urgent, and Tian Xinyuan didn't catch what was said, but he knew from Ye Chen's tone of voice that he was not pleased. Tian Xinyuan dared not even breathe loudly, afraid of disturbing the Alpha who was clearly in a bad mood.

On one side, he hesitated as he clutched the straps of his backpack. On the other side, it seemed that Ye Chen had also realized they had already arrived at the entrance of the No.1 Middle School where Tian Xinyuan studied. When they looked up, their gazes unexpectedly collided.

Tian Xinyuan's mouth hung open, wanting to say something, but the words instantly got stuck in his throat.

This can't be blamed on him. The main reason is that Alpha's expression at this moment is too serious, and if we were to describe it in words, it would be...

So fierce.

It could be due to Alpha's own aura.

Tian Xinyuan had never seen this side of Ye Chen before.

During the few days they were together, Ye Chen was always amicable and spoke gently to him, with a warm and tender tone. There was never a hint of reluctance or impatience in his facial expressions. This made Tian Xinyuan secretly label him as approachable, easy to get along with, and friendly.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows tightly. He hastily said a few sentences into the phone and then hung up when he realized it was Tian Xinyuan who needed to get off the car. Exhausted, he reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, slowing down his tone as he asked, "Yuan Yuan, what time do you usually finish school in the afternoon?"

Tian Xinyuan, hearing him, immediately truthfully reported a time.

"Alright." Even though Ye Chen felt irritated by the phone call, he still forced a smile when facing Tian Xinyuan. "Wait for me at the entrance after school, and I will arrange for someone to pick you up." Lastly, he remembered some important points that Tian Xinyuan's father had emphasized to him earlier and added, "Don't wander around with your classmates."

Upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, Tian Xinyuan was at a loss for words.

He understood the meaning behind the other party's words. Tian Fu must have definitely discussed that matter with Ye Chen beforehand.

In fact, if you count it, Tian Xinyuan's only instance of "running around after school" occurred just once in his entire school life. After all, his family kept a close eye on him, and someone would always come to pick him up as soon as school was over. He didn't have any free time to discuss with his classmates about where to play together, and Tian's father and Tian Ke would not agree to it either.

But how could the heart of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy be at peace then? While other classmates were discussing where to go for a meal and which game center to play at, Tian Xinyuan could only listen on the side. It would be false to say that he did not long for it at all.

During their first year in high school, there was a unique incident. The driver who was responsible for picking up and dropping off Tian Xinyuan did not arrive on time due to a traffic jam. As a result, Tian Xinyuan didn't consult with his family members and instead left school directly with his classmates. Being an Omega who had been well-protected by his family, he hadn't explored much of the outside world. Even the roadside food stalls he had never tasted before seemed novel to him.

The bustling snack street, with groups of classmates. Tian Xinyuan was completely unaware that his phone, which was placed in his backpack, was vibrating. His father was so worried at home that he almost ended up in the hospital due to a surge in blood pressure. In the end, Tian Ke used the phone's location to find him. After the restless Omega returned home, he was inevitably scolded by his two brothers and locked in a room to write a self-criticism.

Returning to the present, perhaps Ye Chen became aware of this matter and also began to take it to heart. Tian Xinyuan replied with a word, got off the car, and bid farewell to him.

Ye Chen watched from the car as the young boy obediently carried his school bag and walked step by step through the school gate. Then, someone ran up from behind and patted the boy's shoulder. The two of them seemed to be chatting as they walked into the teaching building together.

"Go back to the company."

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and said to the driver in front.
