Sound froze at the corner for a while. She didn't know why Sampson was unhappy. How could he have the intention to distance her?
Their fathers had been good friends, and they grew up together. Why did they have to pretend not to know each other?
Sound was unhappy. She pulled the straps of her schoolbag and walked towards the school gate absentmindedly.
A lot of students in the No. 3 High School didn't live in the dormitory. The night class happened to be over. There were many parents at the school gate waiting for their children. Among them, a figure of 1.9 meter height was particularly conspicuous.
He was wearing a black hooded guardian, with his legs straight and long.
He had a pair of bright eyes, which were extremely beautiful when he stood under the streetlights. His eyes were shining like gemstones at night, especially when he saw Sound coming out.
It was Vance. He raised an arm and called with a smile, "Sound."
Hearing that, Sound raised her head and saw her brother in the crowd. A hint of light flashed across her dim eyes. Then she ran over happily and looked up at him. "Vance, I can see you at a glance even if you didn't wave your hand."
"Really?" When Vance reached out to take her schoolbag, Sound refused. "Vance, you don't have to treat me as a child. I've grown up."
"Isn't there still one year left before you're 18?" Vance rubbed her head and said, "Whether you are 17, 27 or 37, in my eyes, you are always a child."
Sound laughed and said, "Even a child can take things himself. Vance, you are taller than Donald, taller than many people. I can always recognize you at a glance."
"I see." Pretending to be sad, Vance said, "I thought there was a magical connection between us."
In the past, everyone distinguished Vance and Donald by their characters, because Vance was quiet and Donald was noisy. As they grew older, Vance were always taller than Donald, and it would be easier for everyone to distinguish the two of them.
At the beginning, Sound just called them "brother", and every time she called one of them, Vance and Donald both turned around and responded. Therefore, Donald asked her who she was calling all the time. In order to avoid such a situation, she just called her two brothers by their names.
The car stopped at a fork in the road five hundred meters away from the school gate. This morning, Vance drove Sound to school and also stopped here. Sound hoped to keep a low profile. She just wanted to be an ordinary student.
They chatted while walking.
"How are you feeling at school today? Are your classmates easy to get along with?" Vance asked with concern.
Sound recalled the day and replied, "My classmates are all very good. They talk to me voluntarily and buy snacks for me. They also help me carry books. My desk mate is called Keyla, and she lent me her notebooks. The student sitting at my back table is..."
After a pause, Sound continued with a bright smile, "It's Reid. He is talkative, like a center of gossiper. He introduced all the teachers in our class to me today. Our head teacher is Mr. Yang. He is our math teacher. Everyone calls him Giacomo."
"Our Chinese teacher is Madden. He is just a few years older than you. He is very handsome, not as handsome as you. Everyone calls him by his name, or Mr. Madden..."
Speaking of the new class, Sound was in a good mood and walked more briskly.
It seemed that she had thought of something, and her smile faded. She pouted and said, "It's better than studying in Lexingport City. The classmates there are all afraid of me and dare not talk to me. They are very polite to me, not like classmates or friends."
In Lexingport City, the Shi family was very powerful, and Sound was the youngest child in the Shi family. Therefore, every member of the family liked and doted her so much.
In Lexingport City, she could do whatever she wanted.
With such a noble identity, she should be flattered by everyone. However, in Lexingport City, no one came up to curry favor with her. They all stayed away from her, afraid of causing trouble for themselves or their family.
At the age of seven, Sound was found to be suffering from an illness, CIPA. She could feel any pain at all. That was why she didn't cry since her childhood. The only time she cried was when she woke up at the age of five and couldn't find Sampson.
It was accidental when Sound was found to suffer from CIPA. At that time, her back hurt, and she couldn't feel the pain, so she was sent to the hospital after losing too much blood and fainting. She was almost dying. Since then, her family had protected her well.
Sound had been studying in an exclusive school, where the family background of all students was powerful, but the Shi family was the best among them. All parents warned their children that they couldn't bully Sound, and they'd better not be too close to her.
