The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 103 So you're curious too?

The tutoring session ended at 21:30.

Wang Shishi slumped on the table, her whole body turning into a soft puddle of liquid.

Zhang Muchen tidied up the test papers and textbooks, then reached out and lightly tapped Wang Shishi on the head without any hesitation.

"Let's go home and sleep."

"Waaaaah, I'm so tired, completely exhausted." Wang Shishi pouted and slumped on the table, unwilling to move.

Zhang Muchen stared at her, then suddenly stretched out his finger and precisely pressed it against her ribcage on the side of her waist, giving it a gentle poke—

"what!"

Wang Shishi instantly bristled and jumped up as if she had been electrocuted.

"You bastard, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

After she realized what was happening, she lightly punched Zhang Muchen's arm with her little pink fist, her eyes filled with annoyance.

Zhang Muchen glanced at her calmly, hands in his pockets: "Are you awake now?"

"Dude, you wait, next time I'll scratch you too, let's see how you react."

Wang Shishi pouted, turned around, and muttered to herself as she packed her schoolbag, keeping this score in mind.

Watching the interaction between the two, Chu Youting blinked. Her slender fingers unconsciously touched her ribs, and she silently lowered her head.

Be careful. This scoundrel's methods.
Chu Jiuli stood silently to the side, her gaze fixed on Zhang Muchen and Wang Shishi, without saying a word.

"Let's go, I'll turn off the lights."

Zhang Muchen waved to the three girls, signaling them to go out first.

"I need to go to the restroom, Jiu Li, are you coming?" Wang Shishi asked from the doorway.

Chu Jiuli shook her head: "Go ahead."

"I'll go," Chu Youting said softly.

Wang Shishi immediately grabbed her hand with a grin: "Let's go, let's go together."

The two walked hand in hand toward the restroom at the end of the corridor.

Zhang Muchen turned off the lights and air conditioner inside the room, and checked one last time before locking the door.

When he came out of the room, Chu Jiuli was waiting for him at the door.

"Where are they?"

Zhang Muchen looked around and found that Wang Shishi and Chu Youting were not there.

"I went to the restroom," Chu Jiuli replied. "Let's wait for them a while."

“Okay.” Zhang Muchen nodded.

The two stood side by side at the door. The surrounding classrooms had quieted down, with only the occasional sound of footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor.

Zhang Muchen was looking down at his phone. Chu Jiuli stood quietly to the side, her arms hanging down, holding her handbag.

Her blue and white school uniform accentuated her slender figure, and her long hair cascaded over her shoulders.

Zhang Muchen glanced up casually and was suddenly captivated by the scene before him.

This posture, this movement.
It's very similar to the classic scene in a comic book where the female protagonist is wearing a school uniform and carrying a handbag or schoolbag.

The main theme is youth.

Chu Jiuli noticed his gaze, turned her head slightly, and asked with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Oh it's all right."

Zhang Muchen looked away and casually lowered his head to continue scrolling through his phone.

A few seconds later, he casually remarked, "I think you would look great in a JK uniform."

Chu Jiuli was slightly taken aback, glanced down at her school uniform, and her eyelashes trembled.

After a moment, she suddenly spoke softly, "Thank you."

"what?"

Zhang Muchen paused for a moment, then looked up at her.

I'll thank you for praising how pretty you look in a JK uniform?

This isn't like you.
He scratched his head in confusion.

Chu Jiuli lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't misunderstand, I'm thanking you for the New Year's Eve party. You went directly to the capital, so I didn't have a chance to thank you in person."

"Oh, that thing."

Zhang Muchen nodded knowingly, then shrugged: "I just can't stand that idiot bullying the students."

Chu Jiuli looked at him, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she was seriously thinking about something.

After a moment, she spoke, "I discovered you're very smart when I was tutoring you in math. Didn't you ask me if you could get 100 on your final math exam?" Chu Jiuli paused, looking at Zhang Muchen seriously, "With your current learning style, you have a chance."

"Ha ha."

After being praised by Chu Jiuli, Zhang Muchen was momentarily at a loss for words.

In his usual style, he would definitely shamelessly say something like, "Because I'm a genius."

But at this moment, he was actually a little embarrassed?
My own reaction is unscientific.
"You taught me well," Zhang Muchen replied, scratching his head.

"I think if you work a little harder, you can definitely aim for a 985 university."

Zhang Muchen looked at Chu Jiuli and noticed that she talked more than usual when it came to studying.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Thanks, you can get into Tsinghua or Peking University too."

"Oh, right."

Zhang Muchen seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out a badge from his pocket and handed it to Chu Jiuli.

"Here, take this. It's a badge from the Academy of Sciences' laboratory. It should bring you good luck."

Chu Jiuli was slightly taken aback, then reached out and took the badge, her fingertips gently stroking the cool ceramic surface.

The badge is clearly engraved with the following words:

Exploring the unknown, never stopping.

She looked up at Zhang Muchen: "This badge is quite rare, isn't it? You just gave it to me like that?"

Zhang Muchen nodded, shamelessly saying, "It is quite rare."

Rare my foot.

I'll have Gu Ze laser-engrave another one for me later.

With a smile, he continued to bluff, "But this badge is somewhat related to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, since this lab has a collaboration with them. Maybe it can bring you good luck. I don't really need it."

Zhang Muchen began his usual flirting routine.

Chu Jiuli paused for a moment, then looked down at the badge in her hand, gently stroking it with her fingertips, her eyes flickering slightly.

After a moment, she whispered, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, at the corner of the corridor.

Chu Youting peeked out from the shadows, cautiously looking at her older sister and Zhang Muchen.

She just came out of the bathroom.

Wang Shishi had an upset stomach, so she was told to go ahead. Just as she reached the corner, she happened to see her sister and Zhang Muchen standing together, quite close to each other.

What bothered her even more was—

The older sister took something from Zhang Muchen's hand, and
Why did her sister's hand end up on Zhang Muchen's waist?
Chu Youting's eyes widened, her heart beat slightly faster, and her fingers unconsciously clenched together.

what are they doing?
the other side.

"Your clothes got some white paint on the wall."

Chu Jiuli's gaze fell on a white mark on the back of Zhang Muchen's black down jacket, and she reached out and gently patted it.

"Oh, thank you."

Zhang Muchen raised his arm and turned his head to try to see his back, but unfortunately, the angle was wrong and he couldn't see it at all.

He turned around: "Help me pat it, I can't reach it."

Chu Jiuli didn't speak, but gently brushed the white dust off his clothes.

At the corner of the corridor.

Chu Youting's eyes were fixed on that spot.

"Youting, what are you looking at?"

Wang Shishi came closer and peeked out, following the line of sight she had just been looking at.

The next second, Wang Shishi's eyes lit up, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"Haha, so you're also curious about my relationship with Jiu Li."

Chu Youting blinked, and before she could react, Wang Shishi had already put her arm around her shoulder.

"Relationship...?" she repeated blankly.

Wang Shishi leaned closer with a mysterious look and lowered her voice, saying, "Hehe, let me tell you, my relationship with Jiu Li is definitely not ordinary. I've caught them in 703 several times."

"maybe"

"They've already kissed!"

Chu Youting paused for a moment.
