Because I am Xia Xinyu.

That’s a bit of an overwhelming declaration.

Chen Yuan understood what Xia Xinyu meant.

She was willing to trust him, believing that he would never do anything to betray her.

"Actually,"

Chen Yuan looked at Xia Xinyu, a girl so full of confidence that he didn't want her to lose. He confessed, "There really was something I kept from you today."

"Oh? What is it?" Xia Xinyu asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, just discovered a girl has a crush on me."

"Ah?!"

Hearing this, Xia Xinyu immediately lost her cool. She moved right in front of Chen Yuan, cupped his face in her hands, stared into his eyes, and asked seriously, "Who is it?!"

"Hey, weren't you just saying you knew I wouldn't do anything to betray you?"

And making a domineering declaration: Because we are fairy... no, because I am Xia Xinyu.

Why is it different now?

"But then again..."

Xia Xinyu had barely finished speaking when she had to backtrack and explain, "I know you'll reject her, no question about that. But tell me who she is first."

What, you want to use a Death Note if I tell you her name?

"I can't tell you the name, but..." Chen Yuan stared at Xia Xinyu, making a serious promise, "But I think she can keep her distance and handle these feelings well."

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Xia Xinyu suddenly froze.

Could it be...

Tang Siwen?

How did Chen Yuan find out?

If it was Tang Siwen, then she really shouldn't pry any further.

Because that girl could indeed handle this emotion well.

And as long as Chen Yuan could make his position clear, things wouldn't develop in a bad direction.

"Okay, Big Brother."

So, Xia Xinyu grabbed his hand and acted cute, saying sweetly, "Remember, you can only like me."

Hiss—

That "Big Brother" directly struck my heart!

Chen Yuan was elated, incredibly so. "Okay, Little Sister, I only like you. May I be struck by lightning if I lie."

"Big Brother doesn't need to make such a solemn vow. I'm very magnanimous," Xia Xinyu said with a giggle, easily. "If you lie to me, we can only be lovers in the next life."

Chen Yuan: "..."

Don't want a yandere little sister!

"Just kidding."

"Is that so..."

"I'm not magnanimous at all."

Wait? The joke was here!

So, if you cheat, you'll drag me down to die with you? Seriously?

Scared.

"Alright, Bao, goodnight." It wasn't early, and they had finished talking, so Xia Xinyu said goodbye.

Chen Yuan also got up to see her to the door.

Then, before closing the door, Xia Xinyu looked at him and said meaningfully, "I know you're a loyal person, but also a kind person. Being with me won't change you."

After saying that, she left directly.

Chen Yuan was slightly stunned, then gradually understood something.

Loyalty is his principle.

But what about kindness?

Also, "being with me won't change your kindness" means...

I understand.

…………

Wednesday, lunch break.

As Tang Siwen was about to go to the cafeteria, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped her. "Tang Divine One, please hold up."

"Are you going to eat together? Okay," Tang Siwen nodded in response.

Although her relationship with Cheng Haiying had warmed up, and they were back to being meal buddies.

But Chen Yuan was her number one friend, and she couldn't let him down.

"I need to go off campus. Come with me," Chen Yuan said suddenly.

Seeing this, Zhou Fu, He Sijiao, and the others said hello and went to the cafeteria first.

"Okay," Tang Siwen agreed without hesitation.

Then the two of them left the school together.

Tang Siwen didn't ask anything, just followed Chen Yuan.

Finally, near the bus stop, Chen Yuan spoke. "Let's go, let's go teach that bitch a lesson."

"?" Tang Siwen didn't quite understand. "Beach woman?"

"Is my English pronunciation that weird? How did you hear 'beach'..."

"The word you're trying to say has a short vowel," Tang Siwen guessed.

"Then do you know who I'm talking about?"

"..." Tang Siwen froze for a moment, then looked up at Chen Yuan. "Are you planning to take me to teach my mom's boyfriend's daughter a lesson?"

"That's right."

Chen Yuan nodded, saying very frankly, "Zhou Fu talked to me today and said you weren't happy, that you hated your mom marrying that man. Since you hate it, let's ruin it."

"But after we ruin it, Mom will hate me..." Tang Siwen lowered her head and said honestly.

"She won't." Chen Yuan made a serious promise. "We just need to do this quietly, do it well, and there won't be any problems."

"Are you going to..." Tang Siwen clenched her fists, posed in a boxing stance, and asked, "Beat her up?"

"No beating, just scaring," Chen Yuan said rather darkly. "You talk in front, and I'll back you up. If she can't win the argument and calls for backup, she'll probably find some small fries from middle school. Then I'll clean them all up."

In reality, this wasn't Chen Yuan's strategy.

So, he added, "If she doesn't call for backup, we can use some tricks."

"..." Tang Siwen gazed at Chen Yuan, asking with some confusion, "Why are you doing this for me?"

Good question.

Why do this?

Because Bao Bao Daren (nickname for Tang Siwen) is already so pitiful, and you're still bullying her. Are you even human?

Bao gives birth to all things to nourish people, but people have nothing to repay Bao.

Kill, kill, kill!

Wait, this set of rhetoric sounds a bit familiar.

Although he thought so in his heart, when he spoke, Chen Yuan became serious. "Just like how you stood up for me when Xiao Yang cursed at me. If you're being bullied, I have to stand up for you too. After all, we're friends."

"..."

In Tang Siwen's eyes, there was a glimmer of hope, like seeing a helping hand extended in the most difficult of times, so grateful. Smiling faintly at Chen Yuan, she nodded. "Yeah, even though your best friend is Zhou Fu."

"...You're tied, tied."

"You're not tied."

Tang Siwen still had that rare smile, suddenly saying.

Chen Yuan: "Huh?"

I'm saying,

Even though in your heart, I'm tied with Zhou Fu in the friend ranking.

She might even be a little more important than me.

But in my heart, the best person doesn't need to be tied.

It's you.

"Never mind, let's go." Tang Siwen returned to her normal expression. After giving the order, she walked ahead like a swift scout.

Chen Yuan followed behind.

He always felt that Bao Bao Daren's feelings for him couldn't be narrowly defined as liking.

At least, it was completely different from Xinyu's feelings for him.

I,

Am like her dad.

And so, the two of them didn't eat lunch, and went straight to the gate of a middle school.

"Give her a call, or send a message, and get her out here," Chen Yuan said.

"I have her WeChat, under my mom's request. But I might not be able to get her to come out..." Tang Siwen said.

"Like this, send her a message saying I have something to say to her, and that I'm at her school gate. Then don't say anything else."

People are curious.

As long as you send this kind of message, without explaining the contents, the other person won't be able to resist wanting to know and will take the bait.

That's the charm of the cliffhanger.

If I ended the chapter after saying that, there would be 99+ comments here.

"Okay, I'll try."

So, Tang Siwen sent the message.

The other person didn't reply.

The two of them just stood there and waited.

"Should I go buy a bowl of rice noodles first?" Tang Siwen asked suddenly.

"Don't be greedy for that one bite," Chen Yuan immediately refused. "Who waits at the school gate to teach someone a lesson while holding noodles? It lowers the tone."

"What if I had a braised beef bun?"

"Equally low."

"..." Looking at Chen Yuan, Tang Siwen bit her lip gently, harrumphing in her heart, indignant at his slander of braised beef buns.

Waiting, time passed little by little.

Finally, a girl wearing a middle school uniform, with her ponytail tied up in accordance with school rules, with the look of a flat-chested young lady, came out.

Seeing Tang Siwen and the boy next to her, she wasn't afraid at all. She walked straight over and greeted, "Hello, Sister."

Called her sister?

Chen Yuan was surprised.

Then Tang Siwen next to him repeatedly shook her head, reminding Chen Yuan: Illusion, this is an illusion, don't be deceived by this person.

The girl captured this detail.

"What are you thinking?" Tang Siwen stared at the other person, questioning seriously.

"Huh, what am I thinking?" The girl feigned incomprehension.

Tang Siwen wasn't good at arguing, so she decided to be quick and direct. "I know you don't like me, and you don't like my dad marrying my mom. So, let's just be frank."

"No, I don't."

The girl shook her head particularly innocently, and said, "If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have attended the dinner party. Sister, you're the one who doesn't like me, right?"

"You, what do you mean?" Tang Siwen retorted.

"You didn't come to yesterday's family gathering," the girl brought up.

"That's because I knew you were coming..."

"Isn't that because Sister hates me?"

The girl looked at Tang Siwen expectantly, her tone a bit aggrieved. "How did it become that I hate you again?"

This guy, this guy...

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Tang Siwen looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously, "She's very hypocritical."

"Where am I hypocritical?"

The girl saw that the boy next to Tang Siwen was very close to her, probably her boyfriend.

She also figured that she was trying to warn her, showing that she had someone backing her up.

But I won't let you succeed.

Also, your boyfriend is quite handsome.

"Where aren't you hypocritical?" Tang Siwen reached out and showed the still-unfaded burn, with some determination. "You scalded my hand with hot tea that day, have you forgotten?"

"Why are you making up this story?" The girl was about to cry, asking with particular incomprehension, "My dad was there at the time, and your mom was there too. Why would I do something like that?"

"Because you did it on purpose...you hate me."

"Even if I really hate you, why would I do it at that time?" The girl was extremely serious, almost swearing, 'logically and reasonably' saying, "If you're known as an honest person in your mom's heart, and you said that I spilled water on your hand, would she not believe you?"

Would she...?

Tang Siwen was thinking, if she had said it then, would she have believed her?

She hadn't thought of it that way.

She just felt that if she didn't perform well that day, her mom might blame her for it.

So, she didn't say anything.

Regarding this relationship, although she didn't bless it, she couldn't ruin it.

"Chen Yuan." Tang Siwen looked at Chen Yuan, urging, "You can teach her a lesson now. She's lying."

"This..." Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at this pitiful little sister, quite hesitant, asking uncertainly, "Your hand, was it really burned by her?"

As soon as he said this, the girl couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

Because she had successfully provoked them.

Then, sure enough, Tang Siwen looked at Chen Yuan with a surprised and puzzled expression.

Glared at him, turned around, and left.

"Wait, Siwen!"

Chen Yuan planned to follow and comfort her. At this moment, the little girl in front of him suddenly covered her face and started to cry.

In that instant, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth curled up in an arc.

Tang Divine One, nice acting.

Although the time she spent expressionless was too long, causing her emotions to look not so genuine.

But it was already, very good.

"..." Tang Siwen, who had quickly turned and walked away, stopped after a certain corner.

She put her hand on her chest, feeling particularly nervous.

This was Chen Yuan's suggestion.

Since the little green tea liked to act, then let her act.

Since she was a bit clumsy, then she should be clumsy, acting like she was breaking down.

Next, it was up to Chen Yuan.

But Tang Siwen was a bit puzzled. How would Chen Yuan approach her?

…………

After Tang Siwen left, Hu Xinyuan started to cry.

But crying like this wouldn't keep this Big Brother around.

So, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Actually, she doesn't hate me. She just doesn't want my dad to marry her mom. I know that."

"..." Chen Yuan made a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "I know that's what she thinks. Coming to find you today was also to persuade you to go back and talk to your dad about it."

"Then does Big Brother believe what I said?" Hu Xinyuan asked with a look of surprise.

"Hey, don't call me Big Brother," Chen Yuan made a Tang Sanzang-like indecisive and useless look, quickly avoiding the familiarity.

"I know, you're Sister's boyfriend, so there's nothing wrong with me calling you Big Brother, right?" Hu Xinyuan said with a naive tone.

"Okay, it's nothing," Chen Yuan stopped being so hesitant, and then said, "No matter what the truth is, or if you're lying. In any case, the two of you don't get along well, and it will be troublesome in the future, so you should still talk to your dad about it."

"So you still think I'm lying?"

Hu Xinyuan's tears suddenly flowed out. Then, with a particularly broken tone, she choked and said, "Why do you say that? It's not that we don't get along well, it's that she's not willing to get along with me. You can ask her, she didn't come to the family gathering. I wanted to show goodwill. I haven't done anything to offend her..."

As she spoke, the girl squatted on the ground, crying in grievance.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to crouch down and stay by her side.

[Okay, this man is starting to believe me]

[Since he believes me, that means he doesn't believe her]

[Keep it up!]

"Big Brother, go after her, I'm okay..." Sniffling, Hu Xinyuan said intermittently, "I'm already used to it... It's okay... Big Brother."

Suddenly touching a girl's head is no different from sexual harassment.

Especially when the other party is a version T0 (top tier character), and you're a version garbage.

Therefore, only at this time could Chen Yuan rightfully put his hand on her head.

Super Child, activate!
