Brother! This is the adoption certificate. I don't want your sister-in-law!

Xu Niannian's eyes widened.

Be his girlfriend?

Su Xiao?

What about Su Xiao, who looks fierce?

Su Xiao, the one who ruined her own underwear?

but……

That same Su Xiao who chased away the thugs under the streetlights that night.

It was Su Xiao who took off her school uniform jacket and gave it to her.

It was Su Xiao who slapped Zhao Wang across the face and stood in front of him.

Her mind was a complete mess, with all sorts of thoughts swirling around inside, unable to find a way out.

Her heart was beating so fast that she felt her chest trembling.

She tried to say something, but her lips opened and closed, and she couldn't utter a single word.

She lowered her head, her bangs covering most of her face, revealing only the tip of her ear, which was burning red.

Then her eyes reddened.

It was as if so many things rushed up at once, stuck in my throat, unable to come out or be swallowed, and turned into a ring of hot tears in my eyes.

She bit her lip, desperately trying to hold back her tears.

But the glistening water gathered more and more, and with a blink of her eyelashes, a tear slid down her cheek.

Following the faint curve on her round face, it rolled all the way to the tip of her chin.

Su Xiao's face was originally smiling.

When I saw that her eyes were red, I was instantly startled.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, don't cry!"

He frantically rummaged through the table for tissues, but after searching for a while without finding any, he turned around and shouted at Fang Yu, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and grab a few tissues!"

Fang Yu sat in the back row, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist.

He witnessed the whole thing.

His Brother Su, the Brother Su who was indifferent to women, the Brother Su who once said, "Women will only affect my punching speed."

I just leaned close to a girl's ear and asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend.

Something must be wrong with this world!

"What are you standing there for!" Su Xiao urged again, waving her hand in front of him.

Fang Yu finally snapped out of his shock and hurriedly pulled a pack of tissues from his pocket.

That pack of tissues had been tucked in his pants pocket for who knows how long; the packaging was all crumpled and wrinkled.

He took out several bills and handed them over.

Su Xiao glanced down at it as she took it.

One of them had a small, yellowish patch of spicy snack oil stuck to it, I don't know when it got there.

"Hey Chovy, just give me some paper!"

Su Xiao frowned in disgust, threw away the oil-stained paper, flattened and folded the rest, and turned it back.

Xu Niannian was still shedding tears, one by one, without making a sound, just quietly falling down.

Su Xiao gently pressed down on her shoulder with one hand to prevent her from dodging, and used the other hand to wipe away her tears with a tissue.

The moment Xu Niannian was pressed down, her body trembled slightly, and she instinctively wanted to shrink back.

But his hand pressed firmly, not with much force, yet it made it impossible for anyone to escape.

His movements as he wiped away his tears were far from gentle; in fact, they were rather clumsy.

But his expression was serious, and he was frowning.

Su Xiao wiped her down while looking down at her.

Her eyelashes were long, and her nose was a little red from crying, like a kitten that had just been pulled out of the rain.

Xu Niannian's skin is really good. You can't see her pores even up close. It's fair and rosy, and as tender as a peeled egg.

As he looked at it, his hand movements slowed down.

No, how can he be so cute?

Xu Niannian felt his hand, which was wiping away tears, stop on her cheek.

She quietly raised her eyes and met his gaze.

The two were so close that they could see each other's reflections in their eyes.

The air fell silent for a moment.

All the surrounding sounds were shut out, leaving only the two of them breathing very close together.

Xu Niannian's heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She tried to hide, but there was a wall behind her, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

Su Xiao twitched her thumb, wiping away the last tear from the corner of her eye.

His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

Then he stopped.

"Are you going to cry or not?"

His voice was soft, with a hint of teasing, but less roguish than usual.

Xu Niannian shook her head, very gently.

Su Xiao looked at her, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved up.

"Alright."

He withdrew his hand, leaned back in his chair, and resumed his lazy tone, "If you keep crying, Fang Yu will have to wipe it for you. There's still spicy snack oil on his tissues."

Fang Yu in the back row: "???"

Xu Niannian was amused by his words. Her lips twitched, and she wanted to laugh but didn't. Finally, she lowered her head and quickly wiped her face with her sleeve.

Su Xiao looked at her.

Her eyes were still red, the tip of her nose was also red, and there were still wet tears on her eyelashes, as if she had just finished crying.

Su Xiao's lips slowly curved into a smile, with that roguish tone, and he lowered his voice a few decibels: "You cried like this just because I asked you to be my girlfriend."

He tilted his head, looked at her sideways, and chuckled, "Am I really that bad?"

Xu Niannian's pupils suddenly contracted.

"No, it's not..."

Her voice was soft, nasal from crying, as if she was in a hurry to explain something but didn't know how to say it.

His lips opened and closed repeatedly, finally managing to utter only a few words: "That's not what I meant..."

Su Xiao leaned back in her chair, hands behind her head, her nonchalant attitude returning. "No? So you're willing to be my girlfriend?"

Xu Niannian didn't reply, but the tips of her bright red ears looked like they were about to bleed under the light.

Seeing her like this, Su Xiao finally couldn't help but laugh.

My shoulders were shaking, and I was afraid the teacher would hear me, so I laughed in a low voice, laughing so hard that my whole body was swaying.

Xu Niannian felt uncomfortable with his laughter and turned her face to the other side, her voice both simple and soft, with a hint of sullenness.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, all you do is bully me."
