Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 99 If you two are so eager to be in a relationship, then just get together!

Pei Shuoxun's noble and outstanding face suddenly loomed large before him, his peach blossom eyes shimmering, his gaze overflowing with deep affection.

The air was scorching, yet it carried a faint scent of woody incense, like the lingering fragrance of incense in a deep mountain temple, cool and tranquil.

Even if Shi Sui were slow-witted, she could guess what was going to happen next.

After all, she had already suffered a loss in this matter once, and she would only allow herself to suffer a loss once more.

Moreover, she didn't need to be polite to Pei Shuoxun.

Shi Sui raised her hand and struck.

Before the slap could land on Pei Shuoxun's face, her hand was grabbed. He chuckled softly and pressed his lips to the back of her hand.

It reveals an unbridled sense of restraint and possessiveness.

Shi Sui was stunned for a moment, forgetting to pull her hand back.

She just remembered that, coincidentally, the back of her hand had been kissed by Chi Yan not long ago.

Shh, they kissed indirectly again.

"Shi Sui," the boy mumbled her name.

He looked like he hadn't had enough. After kissing her hand, he took her hand and placed it on his cheek: "Hit me then."

Shi Sui came to her senses and was about to slap him when she stopped.

She suddenly remembered that when Chen Xun taught her Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), sometimes when she hit him hard, he would show a very satisfied and excited expression.

Shi Sui didn't want to hit him anymore.

She was furious and didn't want to see him have his fun!

Shi Sui grabbed his collar with one hand and pushed him away: "Chen Xun, what do you mean? You weren't trying to kiss me, were you?!"

“Otherwise?” Pei Shuoxun smiled and tilted his head slightly. “Shi Sui, I think I made myself clear enough on the construction site.”

"If you don't understand, I don't mind confessing again."

He's not some mute male protagonist in a tragic novel.

He confessed his feelings once, but the girl was too tired and fell asleep, so she didn't hear him.

He confessed his love twice, but the girl was too naive and misunderstood that he had taken drugs.

After he confessed his love three times, the female lead should finally believe him, right?

Shi Sui's expression froze as she recalled what the driver, Xiao Huang, had said: Pei Shuoxun had not taken any drugs, which meant that he was fully conscious when he spoke at the construction site!

How could a sober person utter such heinous words!

Seeing the girl opposite him stunned, Pei Shuoxun said, "I wasn't drugged. If I had, I definitely wouldn't have been able to control myself and would have done something to hurt you."

Shi Sui was still recalling what he had said at the construction site.

"So Shi Sui, I'm serious. There's no other nonsense. Don't overthink it. I genuinely like you."

Shi Sui was still processing what he had said at the construction site.

"I've liked you before, and I like you even more now. No one will love you more than I do."

Shi Sui couldn't process his words at all. What did he mean by "like" and "love"? Was this something someone her age should be thinking about?

High school students should be studying!

She was furious. She came to ask Pei Shuoxun to help her figure out how to reject Chi Yan, not to upset her!

Shi Sui stared intently into his eyes, enunciating each word clearly, and couldn't help but swear:

"Chen Xun, I've always considered you my brother. Are you fucking trying to commit incest with me?!"

This was the first time Pei Shuoxun had ever seen her with such an expression. Her eyes were big and round, with a touch of pink at the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose, making her look especially vibrant and adorable.

"Be the older brother?" Pei Shuoxun chuckled, glancing at the half-open door. "I can accept incest too."

One sentence left Shi Sui speechless.

Just as Shi Sui was struggling with whether to beat him up so he wouldn't dare to like her anymore, yet also worried that he would like her even more because he was enjoying it, the door was suddenly opened with a bang.

The boy's face was gloomy and depressed, with a heavy atmosphere hanging over him.

Chi Yan knew that Pei Shuoxun would confess his feelings.

He grabbed Shi Sui's arm and pulled her to his side, then looked at Pei Shuoxun and said, "Shi Sui has made it clear enough. She only sees you as a brother and doesn't like you. Don't get any funny ideas."

"Oh?" Pei Shuoxun grabbed Shi Sui's other arm and looked at Chi Yan. "Chi Yan, you heard everything clearly just now, didn't you? Shi Sui came to me to ask me to find a way to reject you. I'm the older brother, so what are you?"

"Reject me?" Chi Yan was taken aback and looked at Shi Sui.

He was interrupted by Shangguan Ying's phone call while he was eavesdropping, so he didn't hear anything.

Shi Sui didn't say anything; she was like a piece of dragon's beard candy being stretched and pulled.

My brain is about to explode.

“Yes, she’s going to reject you,” Pei Shuoxun told him. “If this accident hadn’t happened, Shi Sui and I would have been on a date today.”

Chi Yan recalled the message Shi Sui had sent him that morning—[Tired, sleepy, going to sleep]

"Heh." He sneered and looked at Pei Shuoxun. "That's because you lured her out. It's my problem if you didn't succeed."

Pei Shuoxun was a beat slow to react, clearly taken aback by his words.

Taking the opportunity, Chi Yan changed the subject and said coldly, "Pei Shuoxun, you're about to marry Shangguan Ying, yet you're still pestering Shi Sui. Have you no shame?"

"Shangguan Ying and I have already made things clear: we only have interests to offer each other, and we will never talk about feelings."

"So what? You still can't defy an arranged marriage."

"An arranged marriage isn't a real marriage that's set in stone; it can be canceled later."

“Oh—” Chi Yan smiled meaningfully, “Then you’ve also been married into a powerful family, you’re already tainted.”

"Enough, shut up!" Shi Sui shook off their hands.

Chi Yan and Pei Shuoxun both looked at her and obediently shut their mouths.

"I have no intention of being in a relationship, and I don't like anyone. I just want to study hard, get good grades, and go to the best university!"

"If you two want to be in a relationship so badly, then just get together!"

"I need to go back and correct my exam paper!"

Shi Sui's voice was clear and resonant.

With unwavering focus, his heart was set solely on learning.
