Summer Green Apples

"Xi Xi".

Zhang Cheng had been listening intently, and as soon as he heard footsteps, he rushed out.

"Orange!" Ji Xiwen ran over happily.

The two sisters were so excited to finally see each other that they immediately gave each other a big hug.

After hugging him, Zhang Cheng finally had a chance to glance behind Ji Xiwen.

I was stunned after reading it.

Chi Sui leaned lazily against the wall. The corridor lights were extremely bright, like daytime, illuminating his sharply defined brow bone. He lowered his eyes, his gaze casual as he looked over.

This is beauty that is visible to the naked eye.

No photo editing, no filters, no angle adjustments needed.

Purely ruggedly handsome.

This was the first time Zhang Cheng had ever met a guy of this caliber in real life, and she was so impressed by his looks that she was speechless.

It wasn't until they entered the room and got their notebooks that Zhang Cheng came to her senses and whispered to Ji Xiwen, "Holy crap, is this the thug you were talking about last time? I take back what I said. Ugly ones are thugs, handsome ones are school bullies."

Ji Xiwen: "…………"

She was silent for two seconds, then said, "Okay."

Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment, then said, "You're pretty amazing. If I lived under the same roof as a handsome guy like that, my heart would flutter. Being so close to him would give me an advantage, but you're quite calm."

Ji Xiwen glanced at Chi Sui cautiously.

The man was propping his forehead up with one hand, looking at his notebook, completely unaware that the two women were chirping him.

Ji Xiwen was relieved and said in a breathy voice, "He is indeed handsome, but he has a terrible temper."

Zhang Cheng: "How bad is it?"

Ji Xiwen thought for a moment and replied, "The more handsome he is, the more awful he is."

Zhang Cheng: "...Never mind then."

She snapped back to reality in an instant.

-

This was Ji Xiwen's first time playing a murder mystery game.

It's probably a perk for newbies; I got the undercover agent card right away.

She panicked a little, but only for a second or two, before quietly returning to her original position.

This is an eight-person book, which they co-created with a couple and three best friends.

Ji Xiwen pretended to be clueless the whole time. She looked around and saw that the young couple were very affectionate, almost wanting to sit on the same stool. The three best friends were all naive and innocent, their emotions written all over their faces. Zhang Cheng was even less of a concern, as she was easily swayed and believed whatever others said.

It seems like Chi Sui is the one with the highest IQ and the most rigorous logic.

So throughout the whole event, she echoed whatever Chi Sui said, acting like a complete lackey.

Although Chi Sui didn't say anything, Ji Xiwen could tell that he was very satisfied with his judgment.

When they finally pinpointed the culprit, the boy in the young couple kept suspecting Ji Xiwen.

Ji Xiwen frequently looked to Chi Sui for help, which greatly satisfied Chi Sui's protective instincts.

"It's not that her words are incoherent; it's just that it's her first time playing this game, and she's not familiar with it," Chi Sui explained.

Ji Xiwen nodded quickly: "That's right."

With Chi Sui's full support, Ji Xiwen successfully infiltrated the enemy camp.

When it was over, Chi Sui sat in his chair without saying a word.

The guy across from them stood up, put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder, and sighed, "Bro, you'd better be more careful in the future. Don't fall for my honey trap again."

Chi Sui: "…………"

Ji Xi hesitated, then said, "You'll learn your lesson next time."

"OK……"

Enraged, Chi Sui laughed again. He stood up, leaned close to Ji Xiwen's ear, and said, "You just wait."

He spoke slowly and deliberately.

Ji Xiwen's right eyelid twitched suddenly. She innocently touched her earlobe and said, "I really didn't mean to."

"I'm going back."

Chi Sui said with a dark face.

-

When I returned to the Ji family home, they were just making dinner.

Chi got off the electric scooter, his legs feeling incredibly cramped. "Here, can you teach me?"

Ji Xiwen sat in the car without moving, fiddling with the handle. "I feel like you won't be able to use it even if you learn it."

Young Master Chi is always picked up and dropped off by car whenever he goes out. His family driver is busy, and he even has money to take taxis. He does whatever makes him comfortable.

"Having many skills is never a bad thing," Chi Sui said.

Ji Xiwen was convinced and got out of the car. "It's actually quite simple... You sit down first, keep your balance, this is the brake..."

Chi Sui enjoys outdoor cycling and skateboarding. He has excellent balance, so he can learn to ride an electric bike very quickly.

Especially on days like this, when it's neither too hot nor too cold, and there's no sun, riding an electric bike and feeling the breeze is quite pleasant.

Ji Xiwen stood at the door of her house, arms crossed, watching Chi Sui ride around and around the street, seriously suspecting that he had become addicted to riding.

Until someone tugged at the corner of her clothes.

She then looked away and glanced down.

Ji Feiran smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Sister, here, have some."

He was holding a bag of cookies in his hand.

The cookies looked familiar; Luo Meixia had specially gone to the supermarket to buy them.

Every time Ji Feiran came back, Luo Meixia would go to the supermarket to buy some snacks to stock up at home. She knew that her grandson had high standards and wanted the best of everything.

She rarely goes to supermarkets, believing that all the snacks there are high-end products.

I go there about once a year, usually when Ji Feiran is about to return.

Ji Xiwen asked in confusion, "Did Grandma give this to you?"

"Yes, yes." Ji Feiran smiled happily, her eyes crinkling. "Sister will give you some."

Ji Xiwen bent down slightly and reached out to pat his head. "Why aren't you eating?"

"I don't like it, it tastes awful. I prefer the kind we have at home, they're all imported." Ji Feiran continued smiling. "Grandma insisted on giving it to me, but I didn't want it. However, Mom made me take it."

Ji Xiwen: "…………"

She remained silent for a long time.

Ji Feiran grew a little impatient and waved the biscuits in her hand. "Sister, do you want some? If not, I'll go ask someone else."

"eat."

Ji Xiwen took the biscuit from his hand.

"Thank you, sister."

Ji Feiran thanked him politely again and happily skipped away.

Ji Xiwen watched his retreating figure.

Until a gust of wind swept up from behind.

Chi Sui stepped onto the ground, slightly raising his chin. "What are you daydreaming about?"

"I'm thinking..."

Ji Xiwen turned her head. "Do you want some cookies?"

"Um?"

Chi asked in confusion, "What?"

Ji Xiwen opened her palm. "Do you want some?"

Chi Sui stared at it for a moment, then took it, tore it open, and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?" Ji Xi asked.

"It's alright."

Chi Sui was a little hungry, so he took another bite and mumbled, "It tastes like biscuits."

Ji Xiwen tilted her head and said, "I thought a young master like you wouldn't be interested in these kinds of cookies and would prefer imported ones."

"What a nutcase," Chi Sui muttered under his breath. "Aren't all cookies the same? Do you think the ones from outside are plated with gold?"

Ji Xiwen smiled and said, "That makes sense."

Chi Sui looked up and noticed that her expression was strange. After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, I usually express my temper on the spot and won't hold a grudge later."

"what?"

Ji Xiwen looked completely bewildered.

Chi Sui clicked his tongue. "What I mean is, what I said in the murder mystery game shop, 'You wait,' was just a casual remark. You don't need to take it to heart."

"I know," Ji Xiwen said, "but I didn't take it to heart."

Chi Sui: "…………"
