"Sis!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yang Yishui looked up from her desk and saw Shen Yuan standing at the office door.
"Catch!"
Shen Yuan tossed the ice cream in his hand to Yang Yishui.
The Eldest Female Cousin reached out and caught it securely.
"Whoa! Feeling generous today?"
Just as the Eldest Female Cousin finished speaking, Shen Yuan had already vanished from the doorway.
"Heh, that little shit."
The Eldest Female Cousin knew that Shen Yuan must have bought this for her on the side when he took Li Zhi to the supermarket.
"You two cousins seem to have a really good relationship," Zhou Ruolan said, looking at the ice cream in Yang Yishui’s hand with a hint of envy.
"Of course. I practically raised the kid," Yang Yishui said as she unwrapped the ice cream.
Ti to dig in.
"Speaking of which, is that Teacher Liu still pursuing you?"
Hearing this, Yang Yishui rolled her eyes. "Let’s not talk about things that undermine solidarity."
Zhou Ruolan: ?
In the classroom, He Zhiyu saw the ice cream in Shen Yuan’s and Li Zhi’s hands and knew what they’d been up to.
Her earlier nervousness vanished without a trace.
He Zhiyu thought to herself, ’Thank goodness they didn’t keep suspecting . I should stay out of their topics from now on. It’s too dangerous.’
As He Zhiyu was thinking, she looked at Li Zhi, who had walked over to her side, and said with concern, "Zhizhi, your period is coming soon. You should eat less cold stuff."
Best friends usually rember each other’s cycles.
The only reason Shen Yuan rembered was because he was just that close with Li Zhi.
When you hear her say she’s on her period around the sa ti every month, you’d rember too.
Li Zhi nodded a couple of tis. "I know, I know. It’s fine."
Her reply was very perfunctory.
"There’s no point trying to convince her. She won’t listen no matter how many tis you tell her. Besides, she’s the one who’ll be in pain," Shen Yuan said to He Zhiyu.
Hearing this, He Zhiyu suddenly realized that Shen Yuan seed to know when Li Zhi’s period was.
"This..."
’This guy... he hasn’t bought sanitary pads for Li Zhi before, has he?’
Emmm...
Shen Yuan actually had.
How should one put this?
What century are we in? The stigma around sanitary pads has long been gone.
What’s wrong with buying so for your childhood sweetheart?
Nothing’s wrong with it.
Besides, when a girl tells you she’s on her period, isn’t that a bonus?
You don’t even need to use the "should you drink ice water" test anymore.
Alright, that’s enough of this high school topic.
After sitting down, Shen Yuan heard Li Zhi’s voice. "Zhiyu, that thing you were talking about during morning self-study... is it true?"
’Damn, sis, you’re really not going to let her off the hook.’
’Go on, is the next step a criminal or civil case?’
Hearing Li Zhi’s words, He Zhiyu turned around sheepishly.
"Uh, well..."
The girl was about to crack.
Being questioned by the main subject herself had left her mind a little blank.
But just then, Zhuo Peipei arrived, having heard the commotion.
"Hello there! Li Zhi! Shen Yuan!"
"Do all you guys in the Kissing Association download your greetings from the sa server?"
Zhuo Peipei flashed a sunny smile. "Of course. Doesn’t it just show that we in the Kissing Association are all a bunch of sunny, cheerful, beautiful girls?"
"Damn, so it’s all an act, huh?!" Shen Yuan realized with a jolt.
"What do you an, an act? We’re like this for real!"
Zhuo Peipei put her hands on her hips. "Say one more word and I’ll have the author of *Defend and Steal* write Shen Yuan Nantong Language!"
Faced with the Kissing Association, which controlled the weapon of campus public opinion, Shen Yuan was scared.
The Kissing Association might not cause you physical harm, but they could inflict ntal torture.
Shen Yuan rebuked, "Bullying! This is school bullying!"
Zhuo Peipei lifted her chin, completely unmoved.
Li Zhi looked at Zhuo Peipei, who had interrupted them. "Is there sothing you need?"
"Oh, oh, yes, yes."
Zhuo Peipei spoke quickly, "It’s just that the author of *Defend and Steal* just asked what kind of sweet interactions happen between childhood sweethearts. I don’t know how childhood sweethearts get along either, so I ca to ask you two."
When He Zhiyu heard Zhuo Peipei’s words, her eyes instantly lit up.
’The president is the president for a reason! She imdiately thought of a way to clear my na!’
’She’s so amazing!’
However, to Li Zhi and Shen Yuan, Zhuo Peipei’s words were tantamount to dropping an ultimate ability right in their faces.
’What does she an? Huh? What is the aning of this?’
’She might as well have announced to the whole class that *Defend and Steal* is based on the two of us!’
If this can be tolerated, what cannot?
In a fit of anger, Shen Yuan... got angry.
"How could there possibly be any sweet interactions between childhood sweethearts?"
Shen Yuan declared resentfully, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Li Zhi shot him a cold glare.
Shen Yuan imdiately backpedaled, muttering, "Er—how should I put it... it’s not entirely impossible, right? It’s not a math problem, after all."
"Actually, I’m not sure either."
Li Zhi said to Zhuo Peipei, "Personally, I feel it’s more like being best friends. The kind of friends who make each other feel completely relaxed, where you don’t have to worry about the other person’s feelings no matter what you say or do."
"So that’s why every word you say stabs in the heart, is it?" Shen Yuan murmured darkly in Li Zhi’s ear.
"That’s called ’good advice is harsh to the ear’."
"Stop explaining, woman. You’re breaking my heart!"
After saying his piece, Shen Yuan went to find Ah Jie to grind out so quest ti.
Zhuo Peipei watched Shen Yuan’s retreating back and asked quizzically, "Did he get shy?"
"How did you determine he was shy?"
"He seed pretty happy to ."
"Then he must have so... special hobbies."
Hearing this, Zhuo Peipei and He Zhiyu looked as if they’d just stumbled upon the juiciest gossip of the century.
"So, you two are...?"
Seeing the excited expressions on their faces, Li Zhi looked disgusted. "Tone it down, okay? Could you still watch if childhood sweethearts were into S&M?"
Their minds, which had been high on sugar, imdiately sobered up.
The excitent in Zhuo Peipei and He Zhiyu’s eyes was gone, replaced only by horror.
Young Master Li propped up her chin with one hand, a benevolent smile on her face.
"Want to see? I think Shen Yuan would be cooperative."
Zhuo Peipei instantly turned into a screaming chicken and fled the classroom.
anwhile, He Zhiyu looked as if her Dao heart had collapsed, utterly speechless.
’A devil! This beautiful girl is a devil!’
Outside the classroom, Shen Yuan, who was fooling around with Ah Jie, was apprehended by Zhuo Peipei.
"Shen Yuan, you can’t, you absolutely cannot be the M!"
Shen Yuan: ?
...
The last period in the afternoon was a study hall, with no teacher present.
"The report cards are being passed down. Fill them out yourselves."
The academic representative placed the stack of report cards on the first row desk and returned to their seat without a backward glance.
A single small report card held the worries of many.
Shen Yuan watched as a report card was passed into Li Zhi’s hands and eagerly leaned over to peek.
He was quickly beaten back by a series of numbers starting with "1".
"So terrifying. Is this the power of the endless sea of learning? So many scores starting with a one?"
Li Zhi gave a dry laugh and slapped the report card onto Shen Yuan’s desk.
"Here. Your goal for the monthly exam—first, evolve your scores from starting with a ’1’ to starting with a ’2’."
"Well, thanks a lot. Just you wait, I’ll get 280 on the math test!"
Shen Yuan’s heart ward as he took the report card and began to fill in his scores.
Ah Jie, who was sitting next to him, laughed. "280? Ha! It’s questionable if you could even get 280 if you multiplied your score by three."
Even a ninety-sothing score tis three wouldn’t hit 280.
Shen Yuan imdiately put him in a headlock. "Could your English score start with a ’2’ even if you multiplied it by three? Huh? Could it?"
"Bro! I was wrong! I can’t breathe!" Ah Jie surrendered instantly.
