Young Master, Don't Run!
The Bad Old Man

Siyan looked at Gin earnestly. "Are you really just picking it up?"

Gin nodded and answered briefly "Yes"

"How is it possible..."

"It just so happens" replied Gin flatly. Every now and then he looked towards the wall clock, waiting for their study time to end. So that he can go home and relax.

Then Gin Arai's name quickly shot to number one. And every student began to issue their protest against this final result.

"No way!"

"It's really crazy"

"Is he cheating? But how?"

"He's just lucky"

"Damn! I envy her luck"

"Hey stop saying a I u e o. You know, my brother was great. You guys just envy her because you guys are not as good as her" Li Seng said in a sullen tone. The cowardly young man did not even care about the sharp gazes of everyone.

"Teacher, isn't it home?" gin said suddenly. The hour hand just showed me it was time to go home. Since Gin did not want to spend time, he reminded everyone directly.

"..." - ".Once again the young man named Gin made the teacher and his friends speechless.

Siyan could only hold her dizzy head. Then he said to everyone in a resigned tone. "You can go home" he said weakly. "I'll announce your full test results tomorrow"

All the students quickly dispersed. They run like chickens.

"Gin, I want to talk to you for a bit" Siyan stopped Gin as she watched him walk out of class.

Gin frowned, not happy. "Teacher, I'm busy. We can talk tomorrow, in class" he said. He wanted to go home and play a game. He stayed all night in the woods, without the internet and almost depressed.

Siyan. "All right." he said later. He wanted to get angry with Gin, but he held back his emotions. All these absurd things about Gin were really driving him crazy. He's really going crazy. Even this was more mentally dangerous than his father's crazy attitude.

Seeing Siyan agree, Gin directly walked out of the classroom without any burden. Li Seng caught up with him then wrapped his hands around Gin's shoulder.

"Brother, you're really great!" said happy. "You see their faces? They express themselves as if they were eating a fart" he continued, laughing happily. "We're both in the top ten. We're gonna pass the exam, aren't we?" his expression immediately turned worried quickly.

"I don't know. But it should be like that" Gin replied. He really did not know what qualifications were needed to pass the examination. But he did not think too much of it like Li Seng. Even though his class changed, he had no problem with it.

Soon, Mona approached Gin. "Gin's good work" he said with a smile. He only managed to collect eight flags. Gin really surprised everyone with that. But somehow Mona got used to this. He knows Gin is amazing, but he's trying to hide it. Mona was curious why, but she did not want to ask any further. Afraid Gin felt uncomfortable being friends with her.

"Good job" someone suddenly patted Gin on the shoulder. He was Fei Lan. He only said a word of it, before finally going ahead of Gin with his two sisters. Fei Lan also felt Gin hiding her strength. But he still doubts. He also thought Gin's luck was huge. He had all sorts of possibilities on his mind.

Later that night, at the Arai family residence, all the family members held a dinner together to congratulate Sima and Yusa for successfully passing the test. Grandpa Arai instructed the chefs to make his grandson's second favorite dish.

"Congratulations Yusa for reaching the top ten in the practice exam" Arai's grandfather smiled. "Sima, you did a good job too. Don't be discouraged. You have to make your brother's success a motivation"

"Thank you grandfather" The two young men answered him politely.

"Yes?"

"Do we have a family called Gin? I mean from a distant family or whatever" Sima asked. He felt claustrophobic when he asked that.

Yusa looked at her sister. He also asked his grandfather the same thing a moment ago because of Gin's ATM card. But his grandfather replied he didn't know. So Yusa did not understand saying Sima was asking the same question.

"..." - ".Grandpa Arai instantly froze. He accidentally dropped the spoon he was holding. Not only was Grandfather Arai, a middle-aged man and the woman beside him also froze in an instant. They are a couple of husband and wife. The husband is the youngest child of Grandpa Arai and the woman is his wife, Cyntia.

"Why indeed?" asked Grandpa Arai back after successfully dispelling his shock.

"In our class there was a young man named Gin Arai. He's very strange. He is really strange" Sima said with trembling hands. "I think because he has the same surname as us, maybe he's from a distant family"

"..." - ".Grandpa Arai was silent for a moment before replying. "I don't know" he said slowly. "You know we have a lot of branches. I don't remember the name of every child from the branch family" he replied.

"I understand.." replied Sima weakly.

After that topic, somehow the atmosphere in the dining room turned strange. Everyone is silent. Grandpa Arai also suddenly lost his voice. This dinner was for his two grandchildren. He lost his interest and his spirit.

"It's shrimp for grandpa" suddenly a cute voice sounded and a tiny hand gave a piece of shrimp to Grandpa Arai's plate. He is his beloved grandson. Grandpa Arai directly brought the little elf into his lap. "Thank you" he said gently.

"Yuya, I told you that eating should be polite. Get back in your seat okay?" cyntia said then, after she broke her reverie.

"Humph, Yuya doesn't want to" the little girl puffed her cheeks. "Mother suddenly ignored Yuya. Grandpa's face was sad too. So Yuya wanted to comfort her" the innocent girl said.

"Grandfather is okay. Don't make up a story carelessly" Grandpa Arai snatched Yuya's head. But he did it gently.

Because of Yuya, the atmosphere in the dining room returned to normal. Grandpa Arai started talking to Yuya and Sima back. This time their talk was how to develop their own cultivation technique.

Dinner is over. Everyone goes back to their own room. Cyntia takes Yuya to her room. After making sure the little girl got into bed and didn't play anymore, she returned to her room. When she returned, her husband was already there. Sitting on the side of the bed with an empty face.

"You okay?" ask Cyntia.

"You okay?" the man asked back.

Cyntia's expression instantly changed. Her eyes were teary and her crying broke. He fell to his knees. "Huwaaa, I, I miss him" he said.

The husband came up to her and patted her on the back. "Don't worry. He's healthy and fine"

"I knew. I knew Dad would take care of her. But I wanted to meet him Seto" said Cyntia. "it's been years. Although Yuya comforted my loneliness. Still is..."

"I want to meet him too. But you remember, we can't" replied Seto weakly. "If we meet him directly, everything we do to protect him will be in vain. They'll know and he'll be involved"

Cyntia just cried without responding.

"Dad will take good care of him. He couldn't even meet the boy, even though he would definitely protect him. Don't worry okay. You know that the competition between the five great families is coming soon, right? If those people know we have a son, they'll force him into the competition. There are a lot of assassins also targeting our nuclear family. If he gets involved. We can't protect her. At least be patient until the storm passes. After he graduates from the academy, we can meet him"

"Huwaaa, I'm a bad old man!" cyntia's crying got bigger.

"No" Seto hugged his wife. "We're both bad parents..."
