Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 110 Holding hands and hugging between friends are normal.

Shi Sui didn't take Jiang Tianyao's words to heart, thinking she was just an idiot.

She beat up the Jiang family's crown prince; bringing her home would be like bringing back a bomb.

They could blow up the Jiang family's house at any time, hehe.

After school in the afternoon, Shi Sui finished practicing a calligraphy book and was thinking of going to a discount bookstore to buy a few more to continue practicing. However, as soon as she left the school gate, she saw Jiang Chenjin.

The man was handsome and young, and in his familiar white shirt and black suit, he attracted a lot of attention.

Instead of admiration, their gazes were filled with gossip: Oh, so this is the brother who had an affair with Jiang Tianyao not long ago.

Jiang Chenjin was unaware of what these people were thinking; he only felt that it was his charisma and handsomeness that made passersby glance at him more.

Just as I was enjoying the attention, I saw Shi Sui walk out of the school gate.

Although he was very reluctant to bring this younger sister home and felt a little scared when he saw her, he noticed that the person walking beside her was Chi Yan.

It seems that Shi Sui and Chi Yan are together.

In order to establish a connection with the Chi family, Jiang Chenjin had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, taking a deep breath: "Shi Sui, your family misses you very much. Your brother has come to pick you up and take you home today."

Shi Sui thought it was a joke. How funny! She doesn't have any family.

She didn't even look up at him, and continued walking forward.

Jiang Chenjin caught up and continued, "Shi Sui, I was also wrong about what happened last time. I apologize to you."

Shi Sui was incredulous. Jiang Chenjin apologized to her? The sun had set in the east?

She glanced at him and said, "You don't need to apologize to me. I already beat you up last time, and I'm all over it now."

This reminded Jiang Chenjin of the nightmare of being beaten, and his scalp tingled. After a moment, he calmed himself down and said, "Shi Sui, I heard that you and Tian Tian were comparing grades. Let's forget about the bet. Since your grades aren't good, you can go to tutoring classes with Tian Tian this weekend."

"Why is the bet null and void?" Shi Sui stopped and asked him. "Didn't Jiang Tianyao tell you that I scored sixty or seventy points higher than her? I won the bet, so you should get lost."

Jiang Chenjin was stunned: What was she saying? Her grades were higher than Jiang Tianyao's? What a joke!

Just then, Shi Sui caught a glimpse of Jiang Tianyao walking out of the school gate and called out to her, "Jiang Tianyao, according to the bet, you'd better take your brother and get out of here right now."

Jiang Tianyao was stunned for a moment, and her girlfriends who were walking with her immediately scattered.

Helplessly, she walked toward Jiang Chenjin, tugged at his sleeve, but couldn't utter a word.

Although Shi Sui found them annoying, she thought about it and decided to make things clear with him.

She looked up at the person beside her who insisted on going to the bookstore with her: "Chi Yan, could you and Yan Ze wait for me for a moment? I have something to talk to these two about."

"If there's anything you can't handle, you can come to me. I'm right here." Chi Yan glanced at Jiang Chenjin, his eyes sharp.

At just one glance, Jiang Chenjin felt a chill run down his spine and had the urge to run away.

Yan Ze reluctantly followed Chi Yan to the shade of a tree to sit in the front row and watch the melon.

Shi Sui wanted a quick victory and spoke first.

With her hands in her pockets and her chin slightly raised, she looked at Jiang Tianyao and said in a cold tone, "Jiang Tianyao, tell your brother what my ranking is in the grade, and what your ranking is."

Jiang Tianyao bit her lip, feeling somewhat humiliated, and didn't want to talk about it.

Shi Sui didn't press her to waste time: "Fine, if you don't want to talk, then I will."

Shi Sui looked up at Jiang Chenjin and said directly, "Jiang Chenjin, I am ranked 7th in the grade and Jiang Tianyao is ranked 89th. I won the bet, so I have to accept my loss. From now on, your Jiang family will disappear from my sight. If you see me, you should avoid me. Do you understand?"

His voice was clear and bright, with a faint hint of sarcasm on his lips.

Jiang Chenjin was stunned. 7th in the grade?

He also attended Xinghua High School. You should know that the top ten students in the grade are all top students. How could someone from the countryside get 7th place in the grade?

He doubted the veracity of Shi Sui's words and asked Jiang Tianyao, "Is everything she said true?"

Jiang Tianyao nodded slightly.

Shi Sui felt she had made herself clear, so she turned her neck and took her hands out of her pockets.

He tilted his head slightly, cracked his knuckles, and gave a friendly smile: "Are you still not leaving now? Do you want to get beaten up?"

Jiang Chenjin was all too familiar with that friendly smile.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

He hurriedly led Jiang Tianyao away, his voice filled with anger as he walked: "She really ranked 7th in the grade? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you make a bet with her?"

Yan Ze, standing to the other side, was completely dumbfounded.

As a gossip dog, he not only has a keen sense of smell, but also excellent hearing.

Is this person who keeps spouting nonsense like "get lost" and "beat up" really the obedient, quiet, and gentle Shi Sui he knows?

"Brother Chi," Yan Ze said softly, "Why do I feel like Shi Sui's temperament has changed? Is it because she's been spending too much time with us? I always speak to her very softly and gently, as if I'm afraid of scaring her."

Chi Yan glanced at him: "Heh, no wonder your voice has been so strained this semester."

Chi Yan, who was also afraid of scaring her but was scared by her: So what if a girl hits someone to protect herself? It just makes her even cuter.

*

Shi Sui immersed herself in practicing calligraphy, and the next few days were relatively peaceful for her, except that people would often look at her and greet her when she walked.

She didn't understand why, so she randomly smiled at a passerby.

The passerby's cheeks immediately turned bright red: "Wow, Shi Sui smiled at me! She's so cute! She's beautiful, academically excellent, and has such a gentle personality. I'll definitely vote for her!"

Shi Sui: "?" Gentle personality? Is there some misunderstanding about me?

Forget it, fighting is prohibited at school, so I can't just randomly find a passerby to testify.

The voting system for the school beauty pageant closed on Friday.

Yan Ze would rush downstairs every break between classes. When he saw Shi Sui, he excitedly exclaimed, "Shi Sui! Did you see that? Did you see that? You're the school beauty with the most votes this year, and you can even dance with Brother Chi at the dance!"

With dark circles under his eyes, he looked at Chi Yan with a boastful expression: "It was my brothers and I who voted for this."

Shi Sui was stunned, recalling that she had indeed been hearing the words "school beauty" frequently lately, and that Song Xinying and Xiao Youran had also said they would vote for her.

She didn't care about her studies, and besides, with such a bad reputation on the forum, what the school beauty was like was none of her business.

Since the forum incident at the beginning of the semester, Shi Sui hasn't logged into the school forum. Firstly, she's afraid that seeing too many negative comments will affect her mood, and secondly, she wants to focus on her studies.

After hearing what Yan Ze said, Shi Sui logged into the campus forum and found the vote count page.

Shi Sui: 2568 votes.

Shangguan Ying: 2510 votes.

Jiang Tianyao: 1090 votes.

Shi Sui's eyes darkened, as if she were deep in thought.

Chi Yan noticed her fists clenching and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Shi Sui frowned: "These vote counts are so strange. Could it be that someone is rigging the votes to sabotage me?"

And oh, her name is on the same screen as Jiang Tianyao's, how unlucky!

Yan Ze, the king of vote-buying, quickly said, "No, no, everyone only voted for you because they think you're the school beauty."

Chi Yan leaned closer, gently rested his head on her shoulder, and looked at her phone screen: "Take a look at the comments."

His warm breath brushed against her neck, and Shi Sui reached out to push his head away: "You're too close to me."

The boy's hair was dry, fluffy, and felt great to the touch, like that of a large canine.

Yan Ze immediately understood: "That's how it is. Brother Chi often leans on me too. It's nothing. Shi Sui, you can let him lean on you for a bit."

"Really?" Shi Sui looked at Yan Ze suspiciously.

After observing and subtly probing these past few days, Yan Ze has finally figured out the relationship between the two.

Damn, he's not in a relationship!

Shi Sui is definitely a straight-laced girl who is determined to study, treats everyone as friends, and refuses to be tricked into dating.

Chi Yan's attitude is, "What she says is all true, so let's be friends." But I want to hold hands with my friends, I want to cuddle with my friends, I want to hug my friends, but I want to...

Therefore, Yan Ze took on the role of 'it's normal for friends to hold hands and hug...'.

Being a subordinate is too difficult.

He also had to help his older brother deceive his wife.

Shi Sui received Yan Ze's firm gaze, so she let Chi Yan stick to her like a dog.

She looked at the forum page, scrolled down, and read the comments.

[I deserved to die for speaking ill of Shi Sui before, but now that I'm reborn, I'm voting for her!]

[I didn't expect her grades to be so good! Her transformation from a struggling student to a top student is so inspiring! I'm voting for her too!]

[Not only is she pretty, but she also has good grades, and when I greet Shi Sui on the street, she smiles.]

[I initially thought she had nothing to offer besides her looks, but it turns out she has more and more merits.]

[Although Shangguan Ying is also beautiful and academically gifted, she's just too much of an ice queen.]

……

[I went for a walk around Class 4 today, and wow, Shi Sui is so beautiful! She and Chi Yan sitting together are such a perfect couple! I can't wait to see them dance together at the ball!]

[+1]

……

Shi Sui scrolled through the comments and was surprised to find that no one was criticizing her: Wow, how come her reputation is so good?

Then she noticed the word 'ball' and asked in confusion, "What's a ball?"

Yan Ze cleared his throat and introduced, "Next Friday is our school's free day. During the day, there will be club activities, and in the evening, there will be a super grand and magnificent dance party where the school's most beautiful girls and most handsome boys will dance together."

Shi Sui let out a soft "ah" as her still untamed limbs moved.

"What's wrong?" Chi Yan asked.

"Can I not participate?" Dancing? Does she have to stomp on other people's feet until they burst?

“Of course you can.” Yan Ze’s mouth moved faster than his brain. “Brother Chi has never been there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck.
