Shang Yan said, “Excuse me,” but the girls didn’t move. Instead, they stood even more imposingly. Then Shang Yan realized that they weren’t there to chat; they were there to “chat” with her.
She looked up. The angle was a bit backlit, and she saw that the girl in the lead had delicate features, the kind of good girl that elders would consider attractive.
She was probably the “well-bred lady” that Shang Yuanlin had mentioned. However, this “well-bred lady” seemed to be there to teach this unruly rogue a lesson.
Lü Yan took a step down, her eyes scrutinizing Shang Yan’s face. Then, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. She nodded slightly. “What’s your name?”
“None of your business,”
Shang Yan retorted irritably, even having the leisure to eat strawberries.
Before she could finish the strawberry in her right hand, another girl slapped her, knocking the strawberry box over. The plump, glistening strawberries glided through the air before rolling one by one to the ground, covered in dust.
Shang Yan frowned, unable to finish the strawberries.
This box cost fifty yuan, damn it!
The girl who had been picking at her strawberries pushed her shoulder again, making Shang Yan take a step back, her face full of arrogance. “Just answer my questions, stop pretending!”
“Even if you don’t tell, I can still find out.” Lü Yan gently raised her hand, and the girl immediately withdrew her hand and stood back.
Shang Yan watched this scene and smiled.
The girl was a little annoyed and yelled at her, “What are you laughing at? Who told you to laugh?”
“My mouth is on my face, do I need to report to you whether I laugh or not? You’re acting all high and mighty.”
Shang Yan rolled her eyes, squatted down, picked the strawberries back into the box one by one, and then explained the mystery to them.
“I laugh at you for acting like masters and servants from the old society. What, you’ve had enough of the new era and want to experience the hardships of feudal times?”
“You!”
“What ‘you’? Don’t fucking point your finger at me.” Shang Yan’s good mood vanished completely. “Go to hell! Haven’t you had enough of the good life? You’re trying to mess with your father. Do you know these strawberries cost fifty yuan a box?!”
Damn it, she’s heartbroken!
Lü Yan frowned, seemingly very dissatisfied with Shang Yan’s reaction. Why would such a vulgar person be associated with Shang Yi?
She asked, “What’s your relationship with Shang Yi?”
Hearing Shang Yi’s name, Shang Yan narrowed her eyes and replied rudely, “I’m his great-aunt.”
“You!” Even Lü Yan, with her good temper, was annoyed by Shang Yan’s attitude. “How dare you say that!”
“I dare to say that too, do you want to hear it?” Shang Yan didn’t mince words. She said so much about her mother, yet no one offered to compensate her for the strawberries. It’s a shame this girl is wearing a NiUniU hair clip!
“Either pay me back, or get out of my way right now. Don’t bother me, I’m in a hurry to go back to sleep.” A
crowd of onlookers gradually gathered. The stairs were blocked; those below couldn’t go up, and those above couldn’t come down. The more people gathered, the more irritable Shang Yan became, feeling extremely uncomfortable and just wanting to leave.
“Get out of my way, don’t make me waste another word.”
Lü Yan also realized this wasn’t a good place for “chatting,” so she turned and left with her people, telling Shang Yan to wait before she left.
Wait my ass.
Back in the classroom, Shang Yan threw the whole box of strawberries into the trash can—a huge waste! Her heart was bleeding.
No, she had to get it back from Shang Yi.
Walking to Class 1, Shang Yan saw the person she was looking for at the window. He was sitting in his seat reading, his hair slightly long, covering his bangs. When he looked down, the bones of his neck were visible; he was somewhat thin but not sickly.
“Shang Yi, come out,”
she called out, her voice neither too loud nor too soft.
Upon hearing the name Shang Yi, the students in the class immediately perked up their ears. Someone was actually looking for Shang Yi? Were they deaf?
Hearing the familiar voice, Shang Yi looked towards the window and confirmed it was Shang Yan. He put down his book, stood up, and went outside. Some students who had just returned from the cafeteria were shocked and gaped at the sight.
Yesterday’s post hadn’t been wrong; Shang Yi really was getting close to a girl!
They silently moved to a spot near the window, pretending to be busy with their own things, but actually concealing their eavesdropping.
In the corridor, Shang Yi lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes fixed on Shang Yan’s face, unblinking, as if asking her what she wanted.
He was slightly taller than Shang Yan, and looking down, he could see her clearly.
“Buy me a box of strawberries.”
“?”
Shang Yan pouted in annoyance. Shang Yi’s gaze remained unchanged, but with a hint of coldness. He knew this was a sign that Shang Yan was angry.
She was going to vent her anger on him again, just like before.
Everything that happened these past two days was just an illusion. Shang Yan was only a little nicer to him than before, and he was practically wagging his tail at her.
He’s so pathetic, getting abused time and time again without learning anything. It disgusts him.
Shang Yi’s eyes flashed coldly, his face darkened, and he lowered his head, silently waiting for the storm to break.
“Did you hear that? Buy me a box of strawberries, fifty yuan! I only ate a few.”
Seeing him with his head down and not speaking, Shang Yan reached out and flicked his forehead, as if to make sure that the person in front of her was listening to her and not just playing the role of a wooden puppet.
The moment he was touched, the coldness in Shang Yi’s eyes turned into surprise. He raised his head, the coolness on his forehead still lingering. Under Shang Yan’s increasingly impatient expression, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:
“The card is with you.”
“Hmm?”
Shang Yan raised her delicate eyebrows, thought for a moment, right, Shang Yi gave her the card in the cafeteria yesterday, how could she have forgotten about it.
“Oh, then I’m sorry, I forgot.” After apologizing, Shang Yan naturally put her elbow on Shang Yi’s shoulder and asked him seriously and quietly, “Have you gotten into any trouble lately?”
Coming to him to compensate for the strawberries was an excuse, Shang Yan came specifically to ask him about this matter. This little brother she picked up looked harmless, it was hard to say whether he had been bullied.
The two were standing very close. Shang Yi’s body was already stiff, as if he had been filled with a thousand pounds of cement. He wanted to shake his head but couldn’t move, so he could only say, “No.” ”
That’s good then. I’ll go first.”
After taking two steps, Shang Yan seemed to remember something and turned back. Shang Yi was still standing there dumbfounded.
“Do you have club classes this afternoon?”
Yes.
But Shang Yi didn’t say it. Something was struggling violently inside him. He used a lot of strength to make himself shake his head slightly.
“Okay, then I’ll wait for you at your classroom door after school. We’ll walk together.”
This time, Shang Yan didn’t wait for Shang Yi to nod before turning around and leaving. Of course, she was the older sister. She could just pass on orders. The younger brother just needed to obey.
We’ll walk together.
We’ll walk together.
These five words echoed in Shang Yi’s ears. His mind went blank, as if he had been frozen in place. Only after Shang Yan’s figure completely disappeared did he finally come back to his senses.
His heart was pounding, almost bursting out of his chest. The fact that Shang Yan was willing to go home with him was something he hadn’t dared to even dream of for the past few years.
And now, Shang Yan had actually brought it up herself.
Was he dreaming?
After he calmed down and returned to the classroom, the classmates who had been eavesdropping immediately pretended nothing had happened. Shang Yi, hearing the commotion, ignored everyone and sat back down in his seat.
