Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Trip to Beidu (11)
Duan Xin is a fourteen-year-old boy with picturesque features and a tall stature, standing out strikingly among his male classmates.
Upon hearing his name called, he leapt up and dunked the basketball into the hoop, then landed and adjusted the wristband on his wrist, asking nonchalantly, âDid you see a beauty?â
âHey, not really, but I did see a very special kid, even handsomer than you,â the other person said with a careless tone and a laugh.
Hearing this, Duan Xin felt a bit challenged. Considering himself the school heartthrob, how could anyone be handsomer than him?
âReally, youâll know once you see him,â the person said, winking and gesturing.
His name is Wu Long, and due to his close relationship with Duan Xin, having grown up in the same compound, heâs quite familiar with the Duan Family, so when he saw Xiu Xi, he really couldnât believe his eyes.
In Beidu, there are quite a few foreigners, and several mixed-race children in the school.
But most of the mixed-race kids are from Amerika, with blue or green eyes still being a rarity, and most importantly, the kidâs features didnât seem mixed-race at all, rather closely resembling the Duan Familyâs.
The Duan Family members are all good-looking, and Duan Xin didnât earn his title of school heartthrob for nothingâcountless female classmates have written him love letters over the years.
At first glance, he really thought the boy was some cousin of Duan Xin; the resemblance was uncanny. If only their eye colors matched, they would look even more alike.
âFine, Iâll go take a look then,â Duan Xin said, taking his clothes off the basketball pole, dusting them off, and putting them on.
However, by the time they reached the grassy path, Xiu Xi and his group had already walked inside the school building.
Wu Long asked around and found out they were on the second floor in one of the eighth-grade classrooms, so he headed there.
As Duan Xin climbed the stairs, he thought to himself that he must be crazy. It wasnât a beauty, so why was he going all this way to see what?
The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt, and he pulled at the somewhat excited Wu Long, âForget it, itâs not a beauty, whatâs there to see?â
âAh come on, weâre already here, just take a look, it wonât cost you a limb. Youâll definitely be surprised when you see it,â Wu Long insisted, it being such a coincidental event that he couldnât help but share it with someone.
Left with no choice, Duan Xin continued climbing the stairs, checking several classrooms but still not finding who they were looking for.
Duan Xin totally lost his patience, mainly thinking he was fooling himselfâit wasnât a beauty, and it was pointless to look!
âLetâs go back,â he said impatiently.
Beside him, Wu Long also looked skeptical, stretching his neck to peer into several classrooms, but he couldnât see the face from before, âHow could he just disappear? Duan Xin, I really didnât lie to you, youâd definitely be surprised if you saw him!â
Duan Xin was too lazy to respond and turned to walk towards the stairwell; Wu Long, having not found what they were looking for, also turned back.
He was still reluctant to give up, âDuan Xin, I really did see a very special person. If not for knowing that the Duan Family only has you and Duan Rong as grandsons, Iâd suspect he was your brother. He really resembles your family, especially those eyes, absolutely identical to your uncleâs.â
As he spoke, Wu Long just then saw someone coming from below the staircase, who also had a pair of green eyes, and he pointed at those eyes and said, âLook, just like these eyes, greenâŠâ he suddenly cut off mid-sentence, having realized something, and fell silent.
