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

Chapter 206 A Little Flirting

The New Year's Day holiday ended too quickly.

Upon returning to school, the entire campus was filled with a post-holiday blues.

Even at first glance, everyone's face seemed to say the same thing: they didn't want to go to school.

Including teachers.

Their faces screamed: "I don't want to go to work, I don't want to run into stupid colleagues and bosses."

Tsk. Everyone's joys and sorrows are pretty much the same.

Even Chu Jiuli, who usually buries herself in her studies, had a hint of nostalgia for the holiday in her eyes, still immersed in the warmth of spending time with her father.

but……

Zhang Muchen turned to look at Wang Shishi.

The girl approached him with a smile, her face showing no signs of dejection, but rather radiant with an astonishingly bright gaze.

Zhang Muchen stared at her: "Bro, are you so happy that the holiday is over?"

"Hehe, of course I'm happy." Wang Shishi squinted her eyes and quietly leaned close to Zhang Muchen's ear, "I can see you every day at school."

After saying that, she turned around, placed her hands on Zhang Muchen's desk, and rested her chin on her hands: "Dude, I suddenly feel that going to school isn't so boring anymore."

Zhang Muchen stared into her eyes. Those eyes were bright and undisguised.

His heart skipped a beat.

The air seemed to freeze slightly. At that moment, Chu Jiuli suddenly turned her head to the side.

"What are you talking about?"

Her gaze swept between the two of them, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Hehe, it's nothing." Wang Shishi immediately put on an innocent smile, grabbed Chu Jiuli's hand and shook it. "I was just discussing holiday anecdotes with my buddies."

"Jiuli, let me tell you something. I saw some classmates on a date at the movie theater. They were even kissing outside the theater."

"Jiuli, guess who it is in our class?"

"Here's a hint: the guy is very tall."

Cough
Zhang Muchen, who was standing to the side, suddenly coughed lightly, as if he had choked on the air.

Wang Shishi glanced at him sideways and smiled even more brightly: "Dude, why don't you try guessing too?"

Zhang Muchen looked at her, paused for a second, and took a breath.

What's there to guess? It's obvious that the person she's talking about is herself.

He pointed to the wall clock: "Bro, class is about to start."

"Hmph, I know." Wang Shishi winked at him and gave a soft hum.

Just before she turned around, she suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, buddy, Jiu Li won't be able to guess."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and returned to her seat.

As she said, Chu Jiuli had no intention of pursuing this gossip further.

She simply lowered her head quietly and opened the book.

Just then, the teacher pushed the door open and came in.

The first class after the New Year began in a calm manner.

Recess.

Wang Shishi invited Zhang Muchen to go to the hot water room to get water.

At school, there are always long queues at the toilets, the cafeteria, and the hot water room.

When they arrived, there were already more than a dozen people standing in front of the water heater.

However, everyone was quick to get water, and it only took a few minutes for the two of them to get their turn.

Zhang Muchen idly stroked his thermos. Suddenly, he felt something soft gently hook around his fingertips.

He paused, then glanced at it from the side.

Wang Shishi stood beside him, her eyes fixed ahead, a nonchalant smile on her face.

Her small hands subtly hooked her fingers together, slowly and naturally interlocking.

"It's okay, no one will find out," Wang Shishi whispered.

She took a step forward, then turned to the side and hid their clasped hands completely.

Zhang Muchen didn't speak, letting her lead him. "Shishi, sister."

Suddenly, Chu Youting's voice rang out from not far away.

Wang Shishi subconsciously turned her head and saw Xiao Youzi holding her thermos in the crowd behind her.

"Youting, why aren't you getting water on the third floor?" Wang Shishi asked curiously.

"The water dispenser on the third floor is broken, so I have to run up here."

"The water on the third floor is broken. From now on, we'll have to run up here to get water."

As Wang Shishi spoke, she tightened her grip on Zhang Muchen's hand, showing no intention of letting go.

Zhang Muchen stood silently to the side, glancing at Xiaoyouzi before ultimately choosing to remain silent.

Wang Shishi hid it very well; Xiao Youzi didn't notice at all.

A minute later, the student who had been getting water left with his water bottle, and Wang Shishi slowly let go of his hand.

The two of them went up to get water, filled their thermos cups, said goodbye to Chu Youting, and then left the hot water room together.

"Dude, are my hands too soft?" Shishi asked, smiling as she turned her head to look at him, holding her water bottle.

"soft."

"Were you nervous just now? Youting was standing in line right behind us."

"You're hiding so well, I'm not nervous."

"Dude, you've got a really big heart." Wang Shishi smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Heh heh, next time I'll challenge myself to a higher level and secretly hold your hand in front of Jiu Li."

"."

Zhang Muchen felt that Wang Shishi seemed to enjoy this sneaky thrill.

Well.
Let her be; I'm enjoying it anyway.

The two arrived at the back door of the classroom.

Before even entering the door, Wang Shishi suddenly stopped and looked around.

After confirming that no one was watching, she quietly reached out and took Zhang Muchen's hand again.

"Hehe~"

She gave him a soft laugh, her eyes curving like crescent moons, and a few seconds later she scurried into the classroom like a little fox who had just stolen some candy.

Zhang Muchen paused for a moment at the back door, the warm touch still lingering on his fingertips.

He glanced down at his hands and muttered softly, "...Why do I feel like I'm being flirted with?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

The ripples in my heart that were stirred up were actually quite intense.

He was about to savor the moment for another second when a familiar voice rang in his ears: "Aren't you going in? What are you standing there for?"

The math teacher was walking by, carrying a stack of test papers, and frowning at him.

"Oh……"

He snapped out of his daze and quickly walked into the classroom.

Just as I sat back down, the math teacher walked up to the podium from the front door and tapped the desk to signal for quiet.

Zhang Muchen was looking down at the test paper when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Wang Shishi in the front row had turned slightly to the side.

Her right hand quietly emerged from under her left arm, her fingers deftly forming a "V" sign.
Zhang Muchen couldn't help but chuckle softly, and casually raised his hand to gently flick the back of her head.

Wang Shishi immediately covered her head and calmed down for a while.

Zhang Muchen looked down at the test paper, his eyes seemingly focused on the questions, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

To be honest, he was genuinely attracted to her little gestures.

Some people are a little flirty, and my mind wanders off.

He twirled the pen between his fingers, wrote a line on the paper, and then crossed it out.

My thoughts drifted further and further away.

He looked up at the blackboard, then at the exam paper he had no interest in doing, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sigh... No wonder dating makes my grades drop; I can't even concentrate in class anymore."
