The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 410 - Could It be That There Was a Problem with the Air Conditioner?

Su Ming chuckled and urged, “Hurry up and eat. Once you're done, I'll drive you to school.”

Su Qiu nodded with a sense of resignation.

Diligent and eager to learn, Su Qiu understood the rarity of the opportunity before her. Delving into her research topics, she often encountered concepts that were beyond her grasp. Being a freshman, she was tackling material meant for seniors. Yet, having the chance to attend Principal Ye's lectures and collaborate with her upperclassmen on research projects had significantly expanded her knowledge base.

She was learning things that textbooks simply didn't cover.

Notably, Su Qiu had mastered the use of a sophisticated instrument that the school had acquired for tens of millions of yuan.

Everyone needs a break now and then, and Su Qiu was no exception; she had been looking forward to resting during the holiday. Learning that she had to attend class left her feeling somewhat disheartened.

Despite her reluctance, she dutifully went to class, finishing her meal with a sullen face.

Afterward, she changed clothes, hung her head low, and trudged to the car where Su Ming was waiting.

As Su Ming drove, he glanced at Su Qiu's sullen expression and shook his head with a smile.

But instead of heading straight to school, Su Ming took a detour to a shop specializing in bead bracelets.

He had pre-selected some beads, so it took the shopkeeper less than ten minutes to craft two bracelets.

Back in the car, Su Ming handed one of the bracelets to Su Qiu.

She looked at it curiously and asked, “Brother, what's this?”

Clasping the bracelet, she inhaled its subtle scent, which lifted her spirits.

Su Ming replied with a hint of intrigue, “I had a friend pick out these beads for you. They're meant to keep you safe.”

“Really?” Su Qiu's eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Absolutely. When have I ever deceived you? Wear this bracelet. The cord is very durable, but remember to replace it once a year. Don't lose it, and make sure to keep it on at all times.”

Su Qiu nodded, slipping the bracelet onto her wrist.

Buoyed by Su Ming's thoughtful gift, her gloominess vanished.

She perked up considerably, chattering away like a cheerful sparrow in the car seat.

Su Ming was quite pleased. Even though Su Qiu's chatter was somewhat of a headache, he much preferred it to her being silent and withdrawn as if she were struggling with depression, unwilling to engage with others.

Before long, Su Ming pulled into the school.

As Su Qiu prepared to hop out, Su Ming beamed and said, “Alright, off you go to class.”

Just then, Su Qiu clasped Su Ming's arm and exclaimed, “Brother!”

Her large, luminous eyes seemed to be searching for the right words.

Su Ming froze, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

Su Qiu blinked earnestly and pleaded, “Brother, this is your alma mater. Since you're here, why not sit in on a class with me before you go?”

Su Ming massaged his forehead at the request.

“No!” he declared, shaking his head resolutely.

Back in his college days, Su Ming had little love for attending classes, preferring to play video games or catch up on sleep in his dorm instead.

He was notorious for skipping classes to hang out at internet cafes, though he buckled down when finals approached. He scraped by in his courses, just enough to secure his degree and diploma.

The thought crossed his mind, “I finally graduated. I don't want to sit through classes. No way! I'm not going to class with her.”

Confronted with Su Ming's unwavering stance, Su Qiu's lips jutted out in a pout.

Tears brimmed in her big eyes, making her look exceedingly pitiful.

Onlookers might have thought her grievances surpassed those of Dou'e.

Su Ming, faced with her display, was at a loss.

Su Qiu was all grown up, but she still resorted to the same stubborn tactics she used as a child.

“Fine,” Su Ming eventually conceded with a reluctant nod.

“Thank you, brother!” she beamed.

The girl's mood flipped in an instant, her excitement palpable.

Her acting was impeccable.

She truly lived up to the Su family name.

With her backpack slung over her shoulder, Su Qiu strode ahead while Su Ming trailed behind, his steps languid.

Despite the autumn season, the daytime heat lingered.

During the holiday, the campus was sparsely populated.

Only those with an aversion to studying would leave school during the holidays, like Young Master Su.

Yet, many students remained on campus.

Some freshmen and sophomores were reviewing lessons, while juniors and seniors were busy preparing for graduate entrance exams.

Others were engaged in activities like playing basketball, dining in the cafeteria, picking up packages, or showering in the dorms.

But everyone was either shielding themselves with umbrellas or rushing about.

The reason was the day's scorching heat.

Su Ming, however, didn't seem affected by the heat as he walked; he actually felt quite refreshed.

Su Qiu felt the same.

“Brother, the weather feels so pleasant today, and the sunlight isn't harsh at all,” Su Qiu remarked, glancing at Su Ming.

Her comment left the other students on the street dumbfounded.

They turned to look at her in disbelief, their experience of the weather starkly contrasting with hers.

They observed the siblings' contented expressions and their effortless stride.

On such a sweltering day, most people would be drenched in sweat quickly.

Yet, the siblings' clothes were dry, their foreheads sweat-free.

Where could they have come from?

Perhaps the equator?

But no, the equator enjoys a perpetual spring, and it was even hotter here.

Maybe they were from Mercury?

A man was trudging along, moving swiftly.

Overwhelmed by the heat, he felt a tightness in his chest and was sweating profusely.

He just happened to cross paths with Su Ming.

He stopped in his tracks when he reached Su Ming's side.

“How did it suddenly become so cool?” he wondered, blinking and scanning his surroundings.

The bystanders heard him but were skeptical.

The brother and sister looked so at ease, seemingly impervious to the heat.

But this man was drenched in sweat; how could he feel cool?

While the man was still perplexed, Su Ming had already moved on.

The moment Su Ming left, the man was hit by a blast of hot air.

Shocked, he quickly moved forward a few steps.

Drawing near to Su Ming once again, he instantly felt the coolness return.

The man was baffled. Could Su Ming be an Air Conditioner Monster?

He found it hard to believe.

Regardless, he hurried to keep up with Su Ming!

Whenever he was by Su Ming's side, the heat seemed to dissipate.

Thus, a devoted sidekick materialized in Su Ming's shadow.
