I really like Chapter 45.
I really like Chapter 45.
Chi Yan knew that his deskmate was a petite girl with a gentle personality who would never fight back. She only knew how to study, and she would never talk back when scolded or bullied.
"You can get lost now." Chi Yan glanced at Song Xinying, frowning unhappily. "What are you standing there for? Why aren't you leaving?"
Song Xinying could tell that Chi Yan was in a bad mood and knew that 'getting out' was her best option, but she still mustered up her courage and stammered, "Shi Sui should go back to the regular class."
Her voice was quite loud, and everyone in the class looked over, immediately starting to buzz.
"Yeah, she should go back to the regular class. People should be where they belong."
"Just wait, Brother Chi will definitely make her get lost. It's been a week, even if Brother Chi has the best temper, he won't be able to stand it anymore."
"Although she's a beauty, our Brother Chi doesn't get close to women. How about you sit next to me? I'm available!"
"..."
Chi Yan clicked his tongue impatiently and said unhappily, "Song Xinying, are you a teacher? What right do you have to demand that she go to a regular class?"
"The teacher agreed to let her stay in the international class this month. If you're not happy about it, go talk to the teacher."
"Stop making a racket, it's annoying."
Chi Yan turned his head away, slammed his backpack heavily onto the table, stretched out his long legs, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Song Xinying stood there stunned for a second. Yan Ze, who had just entered the classroom, immediately rushed over and pulled her away, giving her a wink: "Let's go, Miss Song."
The students watching the commotion were stunned for a second, then began to buzz with excitement.
"Shi Sui doesn't have much of a presence, so it's okay if she stays in our class, right?"
"Anyway, it's only a month. The placement test will be next month."
"Yes, it's too much trouble to move around. As long as Brother Chi agrees, it's fine to stay in our class."
"I was originally planning to wait until the pretty girl was homeless, then invite her to be my deskmate..."
"..."
This was the first time Chi Yan had spoken so much to her in one breath, but he felt no joy; instead, he was suppressing his sadness.
Song Xinying left dejectedly, but before leaving, she inexplicably turned back to look at Shi Sui.
The girl sat quietly in her seat, her face expressionless and devoid of any emotion, as if she were lost in thought.
Shi Sui is chatting with the system.
Shi Sui: [System, what's the deal with this Song Xinying?] She didn't quite remember there being such an annoying character in the novel.
System: [Jiang Tianyao's best friend, Chi Yan's number one suitor. Because she didn't fall in love with the female lead's man, her presence is not prominent.]
[If she didn't compete with the female lead for a man, then her ending should be pretty good.] Shi Sui thought for a moment and asked, [Did she eventually win over Chi Yan?]
If Song Xinying wins over Chi Yan, she will become his future sister-in-law—his brother's wife. As the younger brother, it wouldn't be wrong for her to call him sister-in-law, right?
System: [In the novel, Song Xinying's main role is as the female lead's best friend, helping her see through your vicious schemes and chiming in with comments like, "Sweetie, how could you have such a vicious sister?" and "Sweetie, I never thought some people who are ugly could be so cunning."]
System: [As for whether she won over Chi Yan... unknown.]
Shi Sui couldn't help but complain: "[Shouldn't novels include some love stories between best friends to pad the word count? The female lead's best friend and the male lead's buddy are paired up...]"
System: [That was a miscalculation; the author forgot to balance it.]
The textbook was safely returned to the desk. Chi Yan turned to look at her. The girl looked like a dazed little rabbit when she was in a daze. He asked, "Are you alright?"
Shi Sui snapped out of her daze and unilaterally ended the chat with the system.
"It's nothing." What could possibly be wrong with her? So Shi Sui checked her textbooks. "The textbooks are fine too."
Chi Yan nodded slightly; "From now on, whatever Song Xinying says, you should curse back. Don't be a fool who doesn't know how to argue back."
When Song Xinying was mentioned, Shi Sui subconsciously looked up.
Song Xinying was lying on the table, and only the bow on the back of her head could be seen, trembling. There were girls around her holding tissues and comforting her.
Shi Sui: "She lay on the table and cried."
Since the system doesn't know whether Song Xinying will become the future sister-in-law, it should just ask the person involved directly.
Shi Sui turned her head, looked into the boy's deep, beautiful eyes, and asked directly, "Chi Yan, do you like her?"
Chi Yan reacted strongly by avoiding eye contact, her ear tips turning red. What the heck? Why is my deskmate so jealous?
She got jealous just because he exchanged a few words with Song Xinying?
He gets jealous way too easily. Can he just stop talking to other girls from now on?
Chi Yan slowly turned his gaze back to the girl's clear eyes, which were filled with a sour jealousy (imagine it).
Well, it's unavoidable that I talk to other girls occasionally, and she looks kind of cute when she's jealous.
Chi Yan clarified: "Don't misunderstand, how could I possibly like her?"
Shi Sui clearly saw the boy's bleeding ear tips and was certain that he was embarrassed.
Was he shy because his secret was touched upon?
So Chi Yan likes Song Xinying, right?
The sky has fallen; Song Xinying is the future sister-in-law.
Shi Sui paused for a second, then quickly accepted the guess. They were just like bickering lovers on campus. Immature boys like to tease their crushes and love to make them cry. In the end, they can't escape the "wife-chasing crematorium."
After imagining it for a while, Shi Sui had an answer in mind. Not wanting to get involved in the bickering couple's antics, she took out a jellyfish pillow from her bag and changed the subject: "Hey deskmate, this is for you."
"Although we couldn't go to the aquarium yesterday, I think you must really like marine animals. This is a nap pillow. You can put it on the table; it will make you more comfortable to sleep."
The nap pillow has ventilation holes in the middle so your face won't feel stuffy when you lie in it. It also has jellyfish tentacles on both sides, which are just the right size to put your arms in, relieving pressure on your arms and neck.
"What's this pink and cute thing?" Yan Ze looked over, his heart pounding. "Brother Chi, this doesn't suit your image and temperament at all. Give it to me."
"Get lost." Chi Yan reached out and pressed down on Yan Ze's head. "Who said it doesn't suit my image and temperament? You talk too much nonsense."
Yan Ze shrank his neck: I admit I was being nosy.
Chi Yan took the jellyfish pillow, pretending to be disgusted as she looked at it again and again, but she liked it no matter how she looked at it.
He couldn't wait to lie down on it; it was soft and squishy, and the sounds he made through the pillow were a little muffled.
"I love so much."

After class, Shi Sui slowly walked out of the classroom and went downstairs to the door of an activity room.
He paused, then finally opened the door and went inside.
Song Xinying asked her out.
