A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 210 Powerful Experts in the Clouds, Zhuangyuan Tree
Hearing this name, Chen Yuan almost blurted out, "Huh?!"
Seriously? I just happen to run into the Sect Leader of one of the Four Sects?
And the worst part is, it wouldn't matter if it were any other teacher, since they don't know me. Even if they thought something was a little off, they wouldn't interrogate me.
I'm Xinyu's older cousin from university, just bringing her lunch. What's wrong with that?
What's that? Why am I wearing Eleventh High's school pants?
It's cosplay!
But if it's Zhang Jianjun, then I'm completely screwed.
He's already seen me with Xinyu before, and back then, by listening to his thoughts, I learned that he saw through us and even considered getting rid of Xia Xinyu!
But after a momentary deviation, he abandoned that plan.
However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to do it.
Right now, there are two sides to Jianjun: college advancement and school discipline.
And our Xinbao might be considered a strong student at Eleventh High, but in Fourth High, where heroes are as common as carp crossing the river, she's just too ordinary.
So, thanks, Shi Yi.
If you protect Xinyu's student status, I'll reward you with half a jin of sweet potato liquor!
"Don't move, act natural," Shi Yi said.
"I don't think your zipper motion is very natural. How about...we walk in opposite directions, naturally avoiding each other?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Okay, let's both go to the right."
"Okay."
And so, the two of them took a step with their right feet.
Then, they synchronously brought their feet back, as if dancing a soulful tango with perfect coordination.
Damn it, his right is my left!
"To your right, you stand to my rear. Then, pretend to walk," Shi Yi reminded him.
And then, Chen Yuan did as he was told.
Isn't that Shi Yi?
Zhang Jianjun, who was walking towards the school gate, turned his head and saw Shi Yi. And, next to him, a boy not wearing a school uniform.
But he only caught a glimpse of the side of his face before the boy walked in front of Shi Yi, his figure obscured…
He doesn't look like a student from our school, because those school pants are clearly different.
That flash of red, it's Eleventh High!
"Director Zhang? What do you think of this?"
Just as Zhang Jianjun wanted to take a closer look at this boy, a director next to him took out his phone, opened a PPT, and asked for his opinion.
"Oh," Zhang Jianjun turned his head, looked at the phone, and nodded. "Acceptable."
That was a close call!
When Xia Xinyu saw Shi Yi shielding Chen Yuan, she was a little concerned, since he is her boyfriend. But when Zhang Jianjun appeared, she instantly tensed up to the point of suffocation, wishing Chen Yuan and Shi Yi could merge into one, so she wouldn't be discovered.
All she could say was, this feeling is too suffocating.
Especially since it was Zhang Jianjun, who had seen Chen Yuan's face before!
"You, what's with you being so nervous?" Li Shumin gently nudged Xia Xinyu with her elbow, not understanding why she was so scared, as if she had seen a ghost.
But Zhang Jianjun is indeed a ghost.
He turned the entire Fourth High into a ghost.
"No, nothing," Xia Xinyu forced a smile, saying a little reluctantly.
But Li Shumin was puzzled, looked at her, then at her brother who was hiding, and suddenly realized. Covering her mouth, she asked in surprise, "Your brother, is he that kind of brother?"
"What kind is that?" Xia Xinyu's face turned red.
"A boyfriend," Li Shumin said in a low voice.
These words silenced Xia Xinyu directly.
She clearly wanted to keep a low profile.
"Oh my god!" Li Shumin smiled, looking curiously at this super quiet, gentle girl, who looked very legal and compliant, like the type of class leader who would read 'Sharp swords come from sharpening, plum blossoms smell sweet from the bitter cold' on the podium.
The white moonlight in the boys' hearts is already in a relationship!
And, it's with someone from another school.
What's more, she dares to openly deliver food in Fourth High territory!
Has she always been this brave?
"Please don't tell anyone," Xia Xinyu put her hands together and pleaded, "Keep this a secret as much as possible."
"Okay," Li Shumin nodded, then looked at her and said sincerely, "I really can't imagine, someone who doesn't watch dramas, doesn't chase stars, doesn't even watch romance movies... I get it, true masters are all directly practicing."
"What you're saying is a little too embarrassing... I'm not a master or anything," Xia Xinyu blushed.
Do I really not look like the type of person who would have a young romance in other people's eyes?
What kind of person looks like they would have a young romance...
Li Shumin looked at Xia Xinyu with surprise and continued to exclaim, "I can't even imagine you flirting with a boy..."
"Xinyu, lunch is here." At this time, the 'brother' came over with the lunch and handed over a pair of chopsticks.
"Thank you, you worked hard~"
Taking the chopsticks from the boy, Xia Xinyu's eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing a very sweet smile, and even her tone of voice was a few degrees softer than usual.
She's already very gentle normally, but when facing this man, she instantly becomes a little sweetie!
Ah, this?
Li Shumin was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
Of course, it's not considered fake, after all, her voice didn't change at all, it's purely adding something to her words--love.
"I almost got arrested, that was really close." Chen Yuan thought of what happened just now and still felt a little scared.
"So, Shi Yi gave you this school uniform?" Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan, who was wearing the same white school uniform as her, and felt it was especially novel.
"I swapped clothes with him, after all, his popularity in this school goes without saying," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh right, this is our class's English representative, Li Shumin," Xia Xinyu actively introduced.
"Hello, my name is Chen Yuan," Chen Yuan introduced himself, "I am Xinyu's cousin."
Seeing that she was still a little dazed, Xia Xinyu tugged on his sleeve, reminding him, "No, you don't have to pretend."
"Ah, okay, then I'm Xia Xinyu's boyfriend."
"...You don't have to be so high-profile."
Xia Xinyu was conflicted.
She was the one who brought it up, so why is she still so scared at this moment?
"Hello," the girl nodded.
Then, Chen Yuan and Xinyu sat on the edge of the flower bed, opened their lunch boxes, placed them between the two of them, and each held a small bowl.
Yuxiang Rousi (Stir-fried Pork with Garlic Sauce), braised spare ribs, sweet and sour pork, and cauliflower stir-fried with meat…
"Your cooking skills are amazing, I can only see these in restaurants," Li Shumin was surprised.
"..."
As for Xia Xinyu, she looked at these dishes.
Then, she looked at Chen Yuan.
Isn't this just takeout from a restaurant?
Chen Yuan smiled and explained, "Ah haha, so-so."
He actually admitted it?
I didn't expect him to care about face so much in this aspect…
Whatever, I'll give him enough face.
Before starting to eat, Xia Xinyu actively picked up some food for Li Shumin. After trying it, the latter highly praised it, "It's just as good as the taste in the restaurant."
You're also amazing...
Being able to taste the restaurant flavor in one bite.
"Hee hee, his cooking is pretty good," Xia Xinyu could only bite the bullet and praise him awkwardly, while looking at Chen Yuan, who wasn't blushing at all, and was even smilingly accepting the praise…
Not a very good review.
In short, delivering food is more valuable than the food itself.
Is it really just eating food?
It's concern and affection.
"Oh, right." Chen Yuan thought of what Lao Mo said this morning, and then happily said to Xinyu, "We're also going on a fall outing on Friday, guess where we're going?"
"..." Hearing this, Xia Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she cleverly guessed, "It wouldn't be the same place as us, would it?"
"You guessed it, even the buffet is the same."
Chen Yuan felt it was magical when he said it.
He seriously suspected that He Bao did it on purpose to please him.
Or at least there is some possibility.
So why isn't this Lao He coming to take credit yet?
"That's great, when we have free time, we can run away," Xia Xinyu said expectantly.
"Both schools are going to Happy Valley? That's pretty good, quite a few of my junior high classmates went to Eleventh High," this information also surprised Li Shumin, but she was a little curious, "Did the two schools discuss it?"
"Yeah...probably."
Although Chen Yuan said that, he was too embarrassed to face her directly.
Family, who understands? The Fourth High brats are mocking our Eleventh High, saying we're copying them.
Taking out the "Letter to Parents" color palette to see if we copied it or not!
"It should be, after all, the leaders of the two schools seem to be quite familiar," Xia Xinyu explained with a smile, "Isn't our principal a student of Eleventh High's secretary?"
"Oh," Li Shumin nodded, "That's true…"
Xia Xinyu maintained the reputation of Eleventh High, I'm moved to tears.
You're allowed to join the Eleventh High student registry.
"But, can I ask..."
Although Li Shumin could guarantee that she wouldn't talk nonsense, she was still a little curious, so she asked with considerable concern, "How did you two meet?"
"This..."
Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan, who was eating, thought for a while, and said, "We live close, and often take the same bus home after school, and after a long time..."
Li Shumin listened carefully with her bowl, and quickly shoveled rice into her mouth when she paused slightly, but her eyes didn't shift, afraid of missing any important information.
"Then, I asked her for her contact information," Chen Yuan interrupted Xia Xinyu's words, saying while eating.
"How direct," Li Shumin was surprised, because it was this seemingly aloof boy who pursued Xinyu.
"Hehe." Xia Xinyu knew that Chen Yuan was also giving her face, so she didn't expose him, just smiled.
"But Xinyu agreed to give her contact information, or... this, can I say it?" Li Shumin suddenly asked after saying this.
"I don't even know what you want to say..." Xia Xinyu was a little embarrassed, "It's okay."
"People often treat us to food, just to get Xinyu's contact information. Of course, that was before, in the first year of high school," Li Shumin said quite sincerely, "But Xinyu refused everyone without even asking who it was. Sure enough, it still depends on the person."
Her words praised both of them.
But what's a little awkward is that neither of them knew how to respond.
So, after she finished speaking and the two smiled, she didn't take the initiative to stay, took the initiative to say that she was done eating, and then said goodbye and left.
"Doesn't seem like a shill."
And Chen Yuan, after judging, said approvingly, "Sure enough, Xinyu is still quite virtuous."
"That's called being loyal, okay," Xia Xinyu corrected, and then put a piece of meat in her mouth with considerable satisfaction, saying, "Feel free to investigate at any time, I'm not afraid at all."
"Not even afraid of Zhang Jianjun showing up?"
Hearing this, Xia Xinyu shook her head quickly, and then looked at Chen Yuan, still a little frightened, saying fearfully, "I was so scared, I almost thought I was going to be discovered."
"Yeah, if it weren't for Shi Yi's help, I might have been done for."
"His relationship with you is very good?" Xia Xinyu looked at Shi Yi, who was sitting with his mother and eating, with a curious expression, saying.
"Yeah, after all, we also had contact in Ning City before."
"That's really surprising."
Since Xia Xinyu is from Fourth High, and a student with good grades, she also knew a little about this kind of thing: "Shi Yi is very stable, like a boulder, so he is highly valued by the school, and they are cultivating him as a top scholar, and a provincial top scholar. Perhaps it's also because of this special attention... he seems quite aloof, I basically haven't seen him make friends."
