Su Nian's face turned red as she hummed, "Not at all! Hey, Pig Brother, what delicious food are you hiding from me again?"

  Cheng smiled and handed over a bag of sour plums and a bag of dried mango from the drawer.

  Su Nian was about to tear open the packaging and divide it among everyone, but when she handed the sour plum to Song Yu Xi, Zhu Cheng intercepted it.

  "Hey, Xiaoxi doesn't like sour things, here, you have this instead." He somehow pulled out a package of cheese and handed it to Song Yu Xi with a smile.

  Song Yu Xi felt embarrassed and declined for half a day, but ultimately accepted his kindness.

  Su Nian's big eyes rolled around, jokingly saying: "Pig brother, how come I didn't discover that you have such a thoughtful side? Why aren't you this good to me and Tang Yu?"

  Tang Yu pursed his lips and smiled, also looking towards Zhu Cheng.

  Cheng's face turned red with excitement, and he hastily waved his chubby hands, "What are you talking about? Don't joke around, Xiaoxi has thin skin."

  Su Nian nodded and suddenly understood.

  That guy's little thoughts are too easy to guess, because he's too simple-minded, all his emotions are written on his face, including his likes and dislikes for a person.

  Su Year quietly bumped Song Yu Xi's arm and whispered, "Pig brother is so good to you, do you know? He must have a crush on you!"

  "Don't talk nonsense, we're just good friends." Song Yu Xi's face turned red, but instead of being happy, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.

  She knew that Zhuo Cheng was good to her and sometimes even went beyond the scope of friendship, but the person she liked was not him.

  Su Nian didn't want to continue this topic and after finishing her snack, she buried her head in her homework again.

  ——

  Class A of Senior Three

  This class is self-study, the classroom is quiet as usual, with only the faint scratching sound of pen tips on paper.

  Nan Xi finished writing the last scroll, lazily stretched her waist, and her long hair danced with it, as if a piece of high-quality black satin.

  She habitually swept up her hair, turned around and sized up Gu Zichen.

  Gu Zichen's eyebrows and eyes were handsome, his black hair was neat and clean, on the desk there was a stack of already completed homework and exercise books. At this time, he held a high school math textbook in his hand, flipping through it very seriously.

  Nan Qi was shocked: "Gu Nan, you're starting from the basics again? Do you need to be so serious about this kind of example question? Are you trying to teach me some new, high-level learning method?"

  Gu Zi Chen remained expressionless and responded with a faint "uh-huh", looking like he was too lazy to engage in conversation.

  Chen Yuan glanced at him, the corners of his lips curled up, and he already understood in his heart that it was definitely his own cute and powerful sister who had taken down Gu Zichen!

  When his eyes met Nan Xi's, both of them were taken aback, their gazes lingering in mid-air for a moment before they finally looked away, as if nothing had happened.

  ——

  As soon as school was over, Su Niannian felt like she had grown wings on her back and ran away in a flash. All the way, she turned on her nagging mode, constantly reminding Chen Yuan about Gu Zichen's promise to tutor her, which made Chen Yuan both amused and helpless.

  He was truly happy for Su Ye, but... why did he have a feeling that his own soft and cute little sister had been kidnapped?

  Watching Su Nian's happy and excited back as she hugged her school bag on her way to Gu's house, Chen Yuan felt both sorrowful and conflicted.

  Gu Zichen is so sinister, can Su Niannian be his opponent? Will he secretly devour her sister without anyone noticing?!

  No way! He has to go and watch!

  Protecting one's own sister is the most important thing in life!
