Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 169 Let's go, see the Queen!

(This is a fictional world; the winter camp is not based on historical fact, so please do not take it personally.)

The full name of the Mathematical Olympiad Hope Alliance Winter Camp is the Mathematical Olympiad Winter Camp.

Those qualified to participate in the winter camp are all top students selected through multiple rounds of competition, and most of them are competitive students who have been nurtured since birth.

More than 400 people came from all provinces across the country, making the competition extremely fierce.

The event will be held at the new campus of Z University.

In the newly developed area of ​​this city, commonly known as the University Town, many top-tier universities have already established new campuses.

It is more than two hours' drive from the city center, and there are dedicated buses that shuttle between the city's high schools.

"Sui Sui, it's been so long since we went out to play together. I thought I could finally let loose after the exams, but you're going to winter camp again, waaaaaah."

Song Xinying hugged Shi Sui, nestled in her arms like a little bird. She was crying and sobbing, but because Shi Sui was holding her, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up, making her look comical as she cried and laughed at the same time.

To focus on her studies during the final exams, Shi Sui refused all social interaction and hadn't gone out with Song Xinying for a long time.

"When I get back, shall we go to Happy Valley?"

Shi Sui noticed that Song Xinying had been watching a lot of short videos of Happy Valley NPCs' activities lately, and while watching the videos, she would secretly slip her hand inside Shi Sui's clothes to touch Song Xinying's abs.

Song Xinying's eyes lit up like light bulbs: "Okay, okay, I'll dress you up nicely then—"

No, no, Sui Sui, you can't dress up, or they'll mistake you for an NPC and want to take pictures with you. But how can we go out and not take any pictures? Oh, okay, then I'll just stop them and say you're my husband..."

"Have you hugged enough?" Chi Yan looked coldly at Song Xinying, exuding an aura of extreme displeasure.

Damn it, why can girls just stick together like that?! He wants to be pampered and held like a little bird too!

Yan Ze, wanting to help his older brother out of his predicament, pulled Song Xinying aside and said, "Come on, let's look at the 185cm handsome guys at Happy Valley. Which one do you like?"

He opened his phone and scrolled through short videos. In the videos, a line of handsome men descended the escalator, each with a good physique, different outfits, and different styles.

Song Xinying's attention was drawn to the second and fourth ones, and she commented, "The second and fourth ones are not bad."

Yan Ze: "Sister, shake hands, shake hands! I also think they're super handsome."

Shi Sui was also curious about the second and fourth ones. Just as she was about to go over and take a look, her path was blocked.

Chi Yan suddenly hugged her tightly; it was his turn to hug her.

Today, Shi Sui wore a pink down jacket and had her hair in a bun. She looked as soft and tender as a peach, and was incredibly cute.

The next second, Shi Sui shoved him away with a slap, warning, "Watch your manners."

Chi Yan pouted, looking aggrieved: "Winter camp is ten days long, and we won't see each other for more than a week. It's okay for friends to hug each other."

Shi Sui reached out and hugged him for a second, then immediately pushed him away, as if she had completed a task: "Okay."

Chi Yan: "..." How heartless, I didn't feel a bit of warmth at all.

Shi Sui: "The university town isn't too far from here. If you want to see me, I'll come over to find you, okay?"

Chi Yan looked down at her. The girl's eyebrows were curved, and when she smiled, there were two small dimples at the corners of her mouth, making her bright and lovely.

Who just said she was heartless? Her smile is so warm!

Chi Yan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he smiled too: "Okay."

"Oh no." Shi Sui's lips curled up again. "I'm aiming for the gold medal at winter camp, that's why I haven't had time to look for you."

Chi Yan: "..." Was he deliberately teasing him?

Seeing that the smile on his lips vanished instantly, Shi Sui smiled even more happily: "After winter camp ends, I'll come find you to play first."

The bus driver was urging her to hurry up, and she waved: "Chi Yan, I'm leaving now, see you in ten days!"

"Okay, see you in ten days."

The way you tease him is so cute!

Chi Yan watched Shi Sui get into the car with her bag on her back, then looked at her through the car window, waved goodbye again.

When saying goodbye, she couldn't help but see Xu Chaomu sitting behind her, and felt a surge of frustration, wishing she could drag Xu Chaomu down and let him sit there.

But then he thought, thankfully he had already spoken to Shangguan Ying, and she would definitely help him keep an eye on Xu Chaomu.

He immediately texted Shangguan Ying: [Shangguan Ying, keep an eye on Xu Chaomu, tell him to be mindful of his behavior and not get too close to Shi Sui.]

Shangguan Ying saw the message but didn't bother to reply. Half an hour later, she replied: [Okay.]

Chi Yan finally felt relieved.

*

On the bus, Shi Sui and Shangguan Ying sat together.

Shangguan Ying is a well-known ice queen at school. Shi Sui hadn't had much contact with her before, and this was the first time she had been so close to her.

I secretly turned my head to look at her. The girl was expressionless, with a cold and stern gaze. Beneath her straight nose, the curve of her lips was flat, as if she was born unable to smile.

They seem a bit unapproachable.

As if noticing her gaze, Shangguan Ying tilted her head slightly to look at her, then turned her head back and replied to a message.

The bus was quiet, with only the hum of the air conditioner heating.

The car stopped at a prestigious high school. The students who had just boarded were eager to make new friends, but when they saw the icy beauty and aloof girl in the car, their enthusiasm vanished instantly.

Look how quiet the handsome men and beautiful women at Xinghua are; we shouldn't disturb their meditation.

Seeing students boarding the bus, Shi Sui subconsciously looked towards the door, but noticed Shangguan Ying next to her, whose face was pale and looked like she was in a bad mood.

"Shangguan Ying, are you feeling unwell?" Shi Sui asked her softly.

This was Shangguan Ying's first time riding a bus. If Chi Yan hadn't said he was worried that Shi Sui and Xu Chaomu would sit together and that she had to sit next to Shi Sui to separate them, she wouldn't have had to suffer on the bus.

Shangguan Ying had already cursed Chi Yan a hundred and eighty times in her heart.

What a loser, he still can't get a wife.

Seeing that her complexion had worsened, Shi Sui asked again, "Are you carsick?"

The car had the heater on, but the windows were closed and there was no ventilation.

Shangguan Ying felt very uncomfortable, as if something was blocking her chest, and a wave of nausea surged up.

She smelled the leather seats of the bus, the smell of gasoline, the unclean air conditioner smell, and the cheap car air freshener...

Then, she heard a soft, gentle voice, and a pleasant scent approached.

There is an inexplicable sense of calming power about it.

"Drink some water first, I have motion sickness medicine here."

Shi Sui rummaged through her bag and took out motion sickness medicine, then poured warm water into her thermos.

There was a bend in the road, and most people on the bus were jolted off their seats, but Shi Sui remained very steady, supporting Shangguan Ying with one hand and feeding her the medicine with the other.

Shi Sui rummaged through the storage bag again: "It seems there are still motion sickness patches."

Following the instructions, she attached it behind Shangguan Ying's ear.

The motion sickness medicine worked quickly, and Shangguan Ying's nausea was relieved a lot. She squinted at Shi Sui.

The girl was bright and beautiful. Sunlight streamed through the car window and fell on her, making her look warm. The hand that was putting the motion sickness patch on her was also warm.

She was holding a storage bag containing bandages, alcohol wipes, iodine, cotton balls, and cold medicine... The bag was small, but it contained all the necessary medicines.

The level of detail is so impressive that it's clear Pei Shuoxun prepared this for Shi Sui.

Seeing that she looked much better, Shi Sui smiled and said, "I have an eye mask here, why don't you take a rest?"

Shangguan Ying nodded unconsciously, somewhat confused.

Shi Sui pulled the sunshade off the car window, gently put an eye mask on Shangguan Ying, and helped her head rest on her shoulder.

"sleep tight."
