Summer Green Apples

"You're overthinking it."

Xu Jiyang said calmly, "Our young master Chi is a pervert; he's researching foundation."

Everyone at the table, except for Li Junyu, was stunned.

Chi Sui snapped, "Xu Jiyang, are you sick in the head?"

"What's going on?" Cui Kai tapped the table, urging, "Tell me quickly."

He and He Ran were both sports students, but he loved watching Chi Sui make fun of them the most.

Cui Kai and Chi Sui became friends after a fight.

Cui Kairen is somewhat handsome and tall. He is a sports student with good grades and many friends. He has become the de facto leader of the sports class within just a few days of starting high school.

Being the eldest brother definitely requires finding an eldest sister-in-law; that's how it sounds when word gets around in the martial arts world.

This sister-in-law needs to be incredibly beautiful.

After searching for a long time, Cui Kai finally settled on Meng Leran.

Meng Leran has been dancing since she was a child. She always walks with her chest out and head held high, like a human peacock. She has a long, porcelain-white neck and loves to wear her hair in a bun, making her particularly eye-catching in a crowd.

Within two days of military training, everyone at Pingzhong knew that there was a beautiful girl in the art class named Meng Leran.

Cui Kai specially asked his younger brother to buy a bouquet of roses and confessed his feelings to Meng Leran in public.

He thought Meng Leran would readily agree, but to his surprise, she glanced at him with disdain, her eyes brimming with tears, looking as if she had been bullied. She walked towards the crowd of onlookers and called out to Chi Sui, who had been dragged by Xu Jiyang to watch the commotion, with a wronged expression.

"Chi Sui, this shameless ugly bastard confessed his love to me..." she sobbed, "but don't worry, my heart will always belong only to you."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cui Kai felt as if his face had been trampled underfoot.

He glared at Chi Sui.

However, this person, casually wearing a school uniform jacket, shook off Meng Leran's hand, his tone extremely nonchalant, "What's it to me?"

Throughout the entire process, she didn't look at Cui Kai even once.

Cui Kai felt offended.

So, after school, he and his men sauntered into the alley and cornered Chi Sui, intending to beat him up.

Unexpectedly, even when he was alone, this person still acted arrogantly.

Then Cui Kai and his four henchmen all got a beating.

Cui Kai's ambition to be the school's big brother and school bully came to a complete and disastrous end after he met Chi Sui.

Even now that they've become friends and hang out together, Cui Kai still enjoys watching Chi Sui make a fool of himself.

"Nothing's wrong."

Chi put away his phone, ruthlessly shattering all of Cui Kai's fantasies. "Just browsing."

"Forget it, I don't believe you were just browsing casually." Cui Kai curled his lip.

With her extensive dating experience, He Ran casually remarked, "Sui, are you seeing someone lately?"

Chi Sui couldn't even hold the Coke properly for a moment.

The water vapor overflowing from the Coke bottle dampened his fingertips.

"...How is that possible?"

He retorted, then unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips.

"You're acting strange. Something's definitely going on," He Ran said, squinting.

After downing half a bottle of cola in one gulp, Chi Sui cursed, "I have no business dealings with you, you idiot! Tell me, who do I have a business dealings with?"

He Ran fell silent.

Girls usually pursue Chi Sui like fish in a river, but he is too proud and looks down on all of them. He probably doesn't even exchange more than a few words with any of them.

Cui Kai frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Is it your new deskmate? I saw her from behind last time, and she seemed quite petite."

"No one could possibly be his deskmate," He Ran said. "His deskmate isn't good-looking."

Xu Jiyang: "It looks pretty good."

"Shut up, what you said is meaningless," Cui Kai said. "Everyone knows you, you're prettier than that clown cat at school."

"It's really beautiful," Xu Jiyang said indignantly.

"Okay, okay," Li Junyu stepped in to smooth things over. "There's only one minute left before class starts, hurry up and eat."

Chi remained silent and finished the remaining half bottle of cola.

……

When Chi returned to the classroom, the first self-study period was already halfway through.

He had a lollipop in his mouth and glanced at Ji Xiwen subconsciously.

She was fast asleep, her head resting on the table, half of her face nestled in the crook of my arm, her eyelashes clearly defined, her lips pressed tightly together, rosy and moist.

Chi Sui bit the paper stick with his teeth, glanced at her, and quickly lowered his head to stare at the exercise book again.

After writing a problem, he looked up and glanced at Ji Xiwen again.

During evening self-study sessions before monthly exams, everyone was quite unruly, knowing that the homeroom teacher was in a hurry to grade the papers and rarely came to check.

Some students were whispering in class, while others were secretly reading comics, creating a rustling sound.

She was sound asleep, her small nose with a beautiful curve.

This is actually a face that is both somewhat obedient and somewhat stubborn.

When those eyes are open, they look innocent.

Realizing he had been staring at her for a while, Chi Sui swallowed twice, closed his eyes, and cursed himself a few times.

You beast!

If Chi Kai and Ji Rongzhen get married in the future, she will be your sister.

Even if someone looks a lot like your ideal type, you can't just go into heat like that.

Chi then closed his eyes for half a minute before opening them and banishing all distracting thoughts from his mind.

He refocused his attention and went back to working on the problem.

He did this for an entire class period. Halfway through the second evening self-study session, Chi Sui finished the last problem, straightened up, rubbed his neck, and turned his head to find Ji Xiwen still asleep.

Her cheeks were flushed from sleeping.

It was at this moment that Chi Sui realized something was wrong.

He picked up his pen and poked Ji Xiwen's arm.

Ji Xiwen did not react.

He thought for two seconds, then poked it harder.

Ji Xiwen's eyelashes fluttered uneasily, and she slowly opened her eyes, her dark eyes filled with a misty haze. "...What's wrong?"

The classroom lights were very bright.

Chi Sui frowned slightly. "Ji Xiwen, do you have a fever?"

"fever……"

Ji Xiwen was stunned.

She belatedly realized that her current state was a bit strange.

She slowly straightened up, reached out and touched her forehead; it was surprisingly hot.

"It seems so." Ji Xiwen glanced at the digital clock on the blackboard, then looked at Chi Sui. "The school should have a medical room, right?"

"What time is it? Doesn't the school doctor go home yet?" Chi Sui said. "Old Cat should still be in the office grading papers. Why don't you go ask him for leave?"

Ji Xiwen hesitated for a moment, "It's just a fever, it shouldn't be necessary to take leave, right?"

She rarely gets sick or takes leave from childhood to adulthood. She usually only takes leave when there are family matters, such as a cold or fever. Wearing a mask and taking medicine can help her get through the day.

Chi Sui frowned, as if he couldn't quite understand her words. "If a fever isn't enough to warrant taking leave, then what illness would require leave?"

Ji Xiwen awkwardly touched the tip of her nose. "It's the kind of serious illness that requires hospitalization."

I think you have a serious illness.

Chi Sui looked at her, took a deep breath, and said, "Go ask Lao Mao for leave now. You can still go to the hospital for an IV drip, go home and get some sleep tonight, and you can still get up and go to class tomorrow morning."
