Chapter 021 – A Croton Seed! (2/2)

“I think she's a good girl. ”

“And? ”

“And—-there's no 'and'? She has been helping me with my schoolwork, I am very grateful to her.”

“There are no other feelings? ”

“Li s.h.i.+nian-we are still students, the vocation of a student is to study well, just what are you thinking? Your mind is not pure. ”

Li s.h.i.+nian showed a look of disdain, stared at her brother Li Muyang and said: “Li Muyang, are you not too childish? You take a look at yourself in the mirror, first let's not talk about the face of yours that's older than your age by ten years. Nursery children already knows how to look for girlfriends and boyfriends, but yet you tell me that the vocation of a student is to learn? You do that again I'll tell mum that you're gay.”

“—–”

“Are you going to tell me or not? ”

“I have a little feeling towards her. “Li Muyang's face was dyed in red, as he said these words embarra.s.singly. Li s.h.i.+nian was the closest person to him, and also his sister. In the past, he told her anything that was on his mind. But this time there's a feeling that's not the same as before, a kind of emotion that he had never encountered before, a feeling he would he would never touch upon.

“That means you like her? ”

“If you say it is, then it is. ”

“It's not if I say it is then it is, you tell me if it is or not. If you don't like her, how can I help you with Xiaoxin sister and make her be your girlfriend? “Li s.h.i.+nian said with a look of frustration.

Li Muyang's eyes lit up and said, “Really? You're able to help me court Xiaoxin? ”

“Can't. “Li s.h.i.+nian answer was brutally blunt.

“—-”

“Brother–” Li s.h.i.+nian took a handful of chips and stuffed them into Li Muyang's mouth again, Li Muyang shook his head in refusal.

“Eat this for me.” Without any explanation, she simply loaded Li Muyang's mouth with chips.

“Why—Kacha Kacha—force me to eat this? “Li Muyang said with pain as he continued crunching the potato chips in his mouth. “It's you who told me that eating fried foods at night will make me gain weight easily. ”

“Yes.” Li Muyang nodded seriously. ” That's what the TV also says. ”

“I'm accompany you out of kindness by eating a little bit while you're eating.” Li s.h.i.+nian displayed a face of doing this act completely because of their deep bond between brother and sister. “Even if I really grow fat, if there's someone who will grow fat along with me, the guilt in my heart will lessen. ”

“—–”

“Brother, I just want to talk to you about Xiaoxin sister. ” Li s.h.i.+nina placed the potato chips on the bedside table and leant her head against Li Muyang's shoulder. She said: “In your opinion, what kind of person is Xiaoxin sister?”

“Did I not say already? She's a very good person. ”

“Yes. She's a very good person, but unfortunately, she's too good. ” Li s.h.i.+nian said with a sigh.

“——–” Li Muyang understood what Li s.h.i.+nian meant. Cui Xiaoxin was a very nice person, but unfortunately she's too good.

“First, let's not talk about her appearance and temperament, but her conversation style and manner alone. She occasionally displays manners and characteristics a.s.sociated with the aristocracy. From this, we can largely guess what kind of person she is–she and us are not people of the same world. Furthermore when I was talking to her, I found out that she's not from Jiangnan, but someone from the Capital. After the university entrance examinations have finished, she'll need to return to Tiandu, and return to the place where she really belongs to.”

“Brother, I know you like Xiaoxin sister, because I am able to see it. During this time, it is the period that you're the happiest and also the period where you smiled the most in tens years. In the past I had drained my mind to help you with your school work, every time you were always drowsy, but Xiaoxin sister was able to raise your grades rapidly—”

“s.h.i.+nian, actually things are not what you think–”

“Brother, I know. “s.h.i.+nian interrupted Li Muyang and said,” I know you don't want to hurt me; you don't want to say that I'm inferior to Xiaoxin sister. The truth is I really don't care about this, Xiaoxin sister was able to help you, I can see that your grades has improved drastically. I'm just happy for you and there is no jealousy at all towards Xiaoxin sister. I have heard about the reason why you have left school. The few words that you said then has became the pet phrase of students in the school—”

“What?” “Li Muyang had a bewildered look on his face. “What did I say? ”

“I don't accept.” Li s.h.i.+nian's eyes stared at his brother. She didn't think that the guy being bullied constantly could have such a strong and stubborn side to him. Hearing the incident and his brother way of dealing with the situation, Li s.h.i.+nian was moved to tears. Afterwards she sneaked into the teacher's office during lunch break and threw a Croton seed[1] into Zhao Mingzhu's tea cup.
