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

Chapter 24 Even the school beauty apologizes.
Wang Shishi was still flipping through the pink envelope, trying to guess who wrote it from the cover.

She looked at it from left to right, occasionally pinching it with her hands, and even holding the envelope up to the light in hopes of finding a clue.

Chu Jiuli had no interest in paying attention to her and was focused on the biology exam paper.

"Jiuli, aren't you curious?" Wang Shishi asked, her tone laced with encouragement.

Chu Jiuli replied without looking up, "Not curious."

Undeterred, Wang Shishi continued to scrutinize the handwriting on the envelope. However, apart from the three words "To Mu Chen," there was no other information on the envelope, nor was there a signature.

"Jiuli, please open it for me."

Wang Shishi's eyes darted around, and she slammed the envelope onto Chu Jiuli's table with a "thud".

Chu Jiuli finally looked away from the exam paper, glanced at the letter, then looked at Wang Shishi and said coldly, "Impossible."

How can you have absolutely no curiosity?

Wang Shishi pouted and slumped onto the table with a disappointed look on her face.

“That’s someone else’s privacy,” Chu Jiuli said calmly, her eyes remaining indifferent.

"Also, don't disturb me while I'm doing my homework."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shishi sighed and said, "Fine, fine, you're such a boring academic."

She stared at the letter on Zhang Muchen's desk, her mind in turmoil.

It's not a good idea to dismantle it. But if we don't dismantle it, we really want to know what's written inside.

Just then, the back door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open. Zhang Muchen strode in.

He plopped down in a chair, panting, with a blue headband on his forehead.

Wang Shishi stared at him curiously, "Dude, where have you been? Why are you wearing a headband?"

Before Zhang Muchen could answer, his gaze inadvertently fell on the pink envelope on Chu Jiuli's desk.

His gaze lingered for a moment. The letter was pink and delicate, with a small heart drawn on it; it was clearly a love letter.

He picked one up and asked, "Hey deskmate, who gave you the love letter?"

Wang Shishi chuckled: "It wasn't for Jiu Li, I found it in your desk drawer."

"???"

Zhang Muchen wanted to give Wang Shishi a good whack on the head.

"Bro, be careful next time you go through my desk drawer. I'll put a mousetrap in there. The kind that catches Jerry." Zhang Muchen patted Wang Shishi.

"I just wanted to grab some snacks, who knew there were love letters in your desk drawer? It was really unintentional."

Wang Shishi pouted, but she quickly changed the subject, her eyes fixed on the love letter: "Dude, you got another love letter. Tell me, have you been flirting with some girl lately?"

I received another love letter.

Chu Jiuli keenly caught the word "again" in Wang Shishi's words, and her gaze involuntarily shifted towards Zhang Muchen. Although his face was expressionless, there seemed to be some curiosity hidden in his eyes.

"I don't have time to flirt with other people," Zhang Muchen replied calmly.

Wang Shishi shook her head and raised an eyebrow: "Dude, how come you're so calm?"

As she spoke, she picked up the love letter from Chu Jiuli's desk and held it in her hand, playing with it repeatedly.

Zhang Muchen glanced at it and quickly snatched the love letter back from her hand.

"Bro, you didn't even open it."

Zhang Muchen looked at the perfectly intact love letter in his hand and clicked his tongue softly.

Wang Shishi pouted: "Isn't this your privacy? But I really want to know who wrote this love letter. I can't wait."

"Can't you wait for me to blow your head off with Blood Howl?"

Zhang Muchen raised his hand as if to tap Wang Shishi on the head. Wang Shishi pulled her neck back and immediately stuck out her tongue.

Zhang Muchen ignored Wang Shishi and glanced at the handwriting on the envelope.

The envelope contained only four simple words: "For Zhang Muchen," with no other clues. Just as he was about to open the envelope, he heard light footsteps coming from the back door of the classroom.

Zhang Muchen turned around and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.

Liu Wuyang appeared quietly at the back door of the classroom at some point and stood there motionless.

Every homeroom teacher seems to possess this magical ability to conceal their footsteps. Even when wearing high heels, the sound of their footsteps can be cleverly eliminated.

"Zhang Muchen, what are you holding in your hand?" Zhang Muchen casually raised his hand and waved the envelope: "A love letter. It's not strange for me to receive something like this, is it?"

Liu Wuyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she raised an eyebrow.

"What a show-off."

Her gaze swept past Zhang Muchen and landed on Wang Shishi.

"Wang Shishi, sit up straight and stop chatting with Zhang Muchen. If I catch you chatting in class again, go sit somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shishi immediately put on a wronged expression: "Teacher, please don't! I'm here to learn English. I want to improve, please don't change my seat."

"If you want to improve, pay attention in class."

After saying that, she turned and left. But before leaving, she added, "Zhang Muchen, come to my office after you and Jiu Li finish dinner. We need to discuss the New Year's Eve party."

After Liu Wuyang left the classroom, biology teacher Ma Wen walked in. Wang Shishi finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned gently against the desk behind her.

She didn't want to be transferred. After all, sitting in this seat meant she could chat with Zhang Muchen and admire the school beauty. Such a good seat wasn't easy to find.

Zhang Muchen put the love letter in the desk drawer, then his gaze fell on Wang Shishi's slender back.

He took out a pencil and poked Wang Shishi in the back.

"Don't lean against my desk," Zhang Muchen said, feigning seriousness.

Wang Shishi turned around and made a face at him, muttering, "Dude, you're so stingy."

Chu Jiuli glanced at the two interacting, then lowered her head back to look at her exam paper. She would ignore their occasional little squabbles as long as they didn't affect her studies.

However, just as she was looking down at the question, Chu Jiuli suddenly remembered something and her gaze involuntarily turned to Zhang Muchen's forehead.

Zhang Muchen wore a blue sports headband on her forehead, giving her a very sporty look.

However, Chu Jiuli knew very well that the real reason he wore the headband was to cover the bump on his forehead.

"I'm sorry, I hit you with the basketball today," Chu Jiuli said in a low voice, apologizing.

Zhang Muchen was slightly taken aback, and looked at Chu Jiuli, whose eyes were lowered, with a strange expression.

She actually apologized?

Zhang Muchen found it hard to believe.

Seeing Zhang Muchen's expression, Chu Jiuli mistakenly thought he was still bothered by what happened before, so she explained, "I thought you were bullying Chu Youting. I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"Uh, it's nothing." Zhang Muchen said somewhat awkwardly, scratching his temple.

To be honest, he was indeed "bullying" Chu Youting. It even had a teasing element to it during PE class.

Of course, Zhang Muchen would not admit it.

“If you want to practice basketball in the future, you can come to me. I’m a former member of the school team,” Zhang Muchen said.

Chu Jiuli: "No need. I'm just slightly interested. I can teach Chu Youting."

Zhang Muchen's lips twitched slightly, a hint of helplessness in his heart.

He understood that Chu Jiuli didn't want him to get close to her sister.

Is the bump on your head serious?

Chu Jiuli's tone softened slightly, and her gaze fell on Zhang Muchen's forehead.

Zhang Muchen: "Minor injury, but my mind is still sharp."

Chu Jiuli looked at him for a while, then suddenly reached into the desk drawer, took out a bottle of beverage, and gently placed it on Zhang Muchen's desk.

"This is compensation."

Zhang Muchen was stunned, watching Chu Jiuli quickly withdraw her fair little hand.

This school beauty isn't so cold and unapproachable after all.

He smiled gently and said, "Thank you."

At this moment, Wang Shishi suddenly turned her head back, revealing a big, aunt-like smile.

"You two have made up again?"

"roll."

Zhang Muchen and Chu Jiuli spoke in unison.
