Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 228 We must be together

Shi Sui reconsidered the distribution of the inheritance.

People like Chen Xun, who wanted to die with her and showed no respect for life, are not entitled to her entire estate.

Let's start by establishing a charitable foundation.

leftover--

First, there's Chi Yan. Forget it, this guy is very rich and doesn't lack anything, so let's put him aside for now.

Then Xu Chaomu, EAR Technology's CEO was revealed to be a high school student, which had some impact and required a lot of investment.

Oh, right, the system mentioned before that he had a mental illness, although she didn't think so.

But we still made an appointment for him with one of the best psychologists in the country and took him for a checkup.

Acquiring the company of Song Xinying's favorite clothing brand is out of the question; buying her some shares would be a better option.

Shangguan Ying's favorite thing is to use comics and novels to support men, so let's just send money to her e-reader and her game account.

……

Shi Sui spent a sleepless night thinking about it, and finally, with dark circles under her eyes, she rang the doorbell of Chi Yan's house.

They live right across from her house.

We came back together last night.

After dropping her off at her doorstep, he expressed his concern for her and then took off his shoes, intending to go inside her house.

Pei Shuoxun pulled him away.

While Pei Shuoxun was taking Chi Yan away, Shi Sui quickly said goodnight to Xu Chaomu.

Close the door and lock the windows.

Because she could guess that Pei Shuoxun also cared about her and wanted to come to her house.

……

Shi Sui felt that she didn't need to be cared about anymore.

She has been happier this past year than in the previous sixteen years combined.

I am so incredibly happy.

I studied hard and made progress, and luckily, I made many friends.

A few unpleasant things happening occasionally are nothing to worry about.

It just ended rather abruptly.

……

Ring the doorbell.

Maybe she's still asleep? Just as Shi Sui was about to leave, the door in front of her opened.

Shi Sui looked up at him.

The boy's hair was a bit frizzy, with tufts sticking up, and he also had dark circles under his eyes.

Chi Yan looked down at her face, and his drowsy eyes suddenly lit up.

After a two-second silence, they spoke in unison—

"You didn't sleep last night?"

The voice had the same hoarseness.

They nodded twice in unison.

Chi Yan quickly took out rabbit slippers from the shoe cabinet, squatted down, and neatly placed them in front of Shi Sui's feet.

"Want to come in and take a nap?"

Shi Sui: "!"

Realizing what he had said, Chi Yan blushed instantly and hurriedly explained, "No, I meant to say come in and sit down for a bit."

Shi Sui could have agreed at first.

But I don't dare to now.

Help! What's going on in this person's head?! Last time it was about having a baby, this time it's about sleeping?!

This is getting more and more outrageous!

Shi Sui shook her head, forcing herself to remain calm: "No, I came here to ask you—Chi Yan, what do you want?"

She thought about it all night, but still couldn't figure out what Chi Yan was missing.

This question was completely unexpected, and Chi Yan was stunned.

Shi Sui looked up at him, waiting for his answer.

Suddenly I remembered that he had just said he wanted to sleep—

Blushing is contagious.

Shi Sui hurriedly added, "You're not allowed to say you want to sleep... what kind of immoral thing is that?"

Chi Yan looked down at her, and the girl looked up to meet his gaze, her face flushed red to the roots of her ears.

His Adam's apple bobbed, a slight chuckle escaped his lips, and he asked, "Shi Sui, why are you asking this?"

Shi Sui reacted quickly: "Because you helped me last night, regarding those online comments, thank you."

Chi Yan wanted to ask her if she should thank Xu Chaomu, but hesitated and didn't ask.

"No need to thank me, it's nothing."

He paused, a subtle ripple appearing in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop it from happening."

"Actually, I investigated your past a long time ago, but I didn't dare to tell you... I knew it would hurt you, but I didn't cover it up for you in advance. I'm sorry."

This feeling of helplessness at being unable to protect his beloved kept him awake all night.

Shi Sui was stunned. She hadn't expected Chi Yan to apologize to her. He didn't need to do anything for her at all.

“Anything that has happened will leave a trace, and traces will be dug up. Besides, those things didn’t harm me; I’m fine.”

Shi Sui lowered her head, took out a candy from her pocket, and stuffed it into his hand: "Have some candy."

She was about to pull her hand back when the boy grabbed it and wouldn't let go.

"Listen to me." He held her hand and the candy tightly in his.

"I wasn't a part of your past, but I'll be with you the longest."

Shi Sui gazed into his open, direct eyes, which were full of love, her breath hot.

She hastily pulled her hand back, avoiding his gaze, and with a sliver of reason still remaining in her mind, she asked, "Chi Yan, what do you want?"

She couldn't take it anymore and just wanted to finish asking her questions and go home.

"girlfriend."

Chi Yan blurted out.

I regretted it the next second.

Damn it, he said that even though he knew Shi Sui didn't want to date in high school, he was just making things difficult for her!

It must be because I didn't sleep last night and my brain wasn't clear; I'm so stupid.

Just as Chi Yan was about to retreat, he discovered—

Normally, Shi Sui would say 'no' immediately when faced with such a question, but she didn't today.

So he waited before withdrawing.

Shi Sui's mind was a bit of a mess.

She hesitated.

She won't live much longer.

The main problem is that the system didn't pop up a message telling her that early romantic relationships are prohibited.

This caused her to lose the confidence she usually had in refusing him.

"Chi Yan." Shi Sui raised her eyes and asked him cautiously, "If... if you knew you were going to break up, would you still want to stay together?"

"Why break up?" Chi Yan asked firmly. "We won't break up."

Once he sets his mind on someone, he'll love them to death.

“It’s not that I don’t love you anymore.” Shi Sui met his gaze, her voice soft. “What if there are uncontrollable factors, like life and death separating us?”

Will we still decide to start?

Chi Yan was stunned.

He was puzzled as to why people were already considering breaking up and even life-or-death separations before they had even started dating.

If that's all there is to it, he firmly tells her of his passion and loyalty, that they are each other's only choice.

But he saw her serious expression.

Exceptionally serious.

There was an inexplicable feeling of losing something, a sense of emptiness and powerlessness.

Chi Yan: "We should be together."

Shi Sui: "Just kidding."

The two spoke at the same time again, their voices mingling but still clear.
