Chuyun was still worried about one thing: his sister was way too famous at Shengming High. After all, she was one of only two school beauties, and her popularity even surpassed that little devil Chu Yiyi's.
That's why so many in the cafeteria were gossiping about his sister sitting on his lap. At school, Xia Shiqi was known as the "Pure Lotus Fairy"—untainted by the mire, pure, kind, gentle, and innocent. Compared to Chu Yiyi, she seemed like an angel to everyone, someone to admire from afar, not to touch.
No one had ever dared to approach Xia Shiqi. Or rather, she'd never approached anyone herself. She treated everyone the same.
But today, the school's pure lotus beauty had willingly sat on a boy's lap, looking so affectionate. The sight shattered every boy's heart in the cafeteria. Their angel had fallen to earth...
Chuyun felt he'd soon become infamous at school. He might even be mistaken for Shiqi's boyfriend. After all, such an intimate pose would make anyone think that.
Maybe he should ask Shiqi after going home. When they didn't get along before, she'd acted like he didn't exist at school. Almost no one knew he was the brother of the pure school beauty Xia Shiqi.
While Chuyun was lost in these thoughts, Lin Waner appeared gentle on the outside. But inside, rage consumed her. She was utterly furious with that scheming girl Xia Shiqi. No one had provoked her like this in ages.
That little vixen really didn't know how to write "death." Don't get cocky over a tiny advantage!
But what could she do now? Seeing how Chuyun doted on Xia Shiqi, any words from her would be useless. She'd only humiliate herself in front of that girl.
Yet doing nothing wasn't an option. She couldn't let Xia Shiqi ride over her like this.
That girl's sudden change must have help. Probably from the girl beside her. Lin Waner sensed a threat there—clearly, she was the same type as herself.
If only someone could help her too. Facing two opponents alone was tough.
Lin Waner realized she needed a pawn to charge for her. Since Chuyun spoiled Xia Shiqi so much, she couldn't win head-on anymore.
Han Youwei, sitting beside her, looked adorably clueless. She seemed perfect for this. Lin Waner knew Han Youwei had a crush on Chuyun. Luring her with him would make her obedient. Plus, she was like a blank slate, easy to guide.
Though Han Youwei was a flirt, Lin Waner couldn't afford to care now. She was powerless against that vixen and couldn't confront her directly. She needed Han Youwei to fight while she pulled the strings from behind.
She'd find a chance to talk to Han Youwei alone today.
Lin Waner would never let Xia Shiqi gloat. But for now, she had to endure it to keep her gentle sister image in front of Chuyun.
"Chuyun, what would you like to eat? Since Shiqi's on your lap, you can't get food. I'll get yours."
"Cantonese food. Oh, Waner-jie, get some for Han Youwei too. Her taste is like mine."
"Mm-hmm."
Truly, Waner-jie was the most considerate. Chuyun almost teared up. He was starving but couldn't leave because of his sister. He knew her stubbornness well.
"Shiqi, after Shu Xiaoyue brings your food, can you get down to eat? I'll hold you again after, okay?"
Chuyun tried to reason with his sister. Eating while she sat on his lap in public was too embarrassing. It wasn't like at home.
"No! Hold me while I eat! We did that this morning!"
Xia Shiqi puffed her cute cheeks and turned to Chuyun with a huff. "Hmph! No way! I said no! I'll get mad if you insist!"
Xia Shiqi was genuinely angry now. She was so cute and popular; normally, just a glance from her thrilled her admirers. But now, sitting on Chuyun's lap, he wasn't happy and kept wanting her down. How infuriating!
Seeing his sister about to snap, Chuyun shut up. He really didn't dare upset her. Between social death and making her mad, he chose social death.
Sigh, when Shiqi was good, she was truly sweet. But when she wasn't, she was so willful and disobedient. Chuyun wondered if spoiling her was right.
Huh?
Why was Han Youwei still staring at him with that clueless look?
Chuyun noticed that since Han Youwei entered the cafeteria, she'd been silent and motionless. Someone might think she was playing statue.
Had she really turned into a little fool?
"Han Youwei!"
"What are you spacing out about?"
