Summer Green Apples

A thousand swear words welled up inside me.

Xu Jiyang originally wanted to scold him for being shameless, but when he suddenly snatched his phone and saw how ugly his expression was, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

"What's wrong with you? Are you really addicted to being my older brother?"

"..."

Chi Sui was already quite angry, and hearing Xu Jiyang's words made him even angrier.

elder brother……

elder brother……

He pondered the word repeatedly, and suddenly realized that it was not a good word, but rather a shackle.

If Chi Kai and Ji Rong really did get their marriage certificate.

In everyone's eyes, Ji Xiwen was his rightful younger sister.

All his thoughts are misplaced right now.

My heart suddenly ached.

It felt like eating a green apple, or a green apple-flavored candy.

Chi Sui was silent for two seconds, then tossed the phone to Xu Jiyang, "Yeah, is that not allowed?"

It's addictive.

Addicted to being an older brother.

I want to take it a step further and become her boyfriend.

"Alright, alright, she's my little sister now anyway." Xu Jiyang laughed carefree. "Round it up, she'll be my little sister from now on."

Li Junyu is the one among the three who is most sensitive to emotions.

He glanced thoughtfully at Chi Sui across from him, then patted Xu Jiyang on the shoulder and said irritably, "You should say less."

"I didn't say anything wrong." Xu Jiyang pouted.

Despite saying that, he obediently lowered his head and ate his food.

When the three of them dawdled away from the breakfast shop, class had already started for ten minutes.

Old Gou was blocking the school gate at this moment, catching students who were late.

The late students had formed a long line, mostly from the sports and arts classes, and none of them were wearing their school uniforms.

Three tall, long-legged boys in red and white school uniforms walked over and stood out.

Old Gou glanced at the object with his pointer in hand, his tone impassioned and furious, "It's the three of you again."

"I'm sorry, teacher." Xu Jiyang apologized smoothly.

"Don't give me that crap, it won't work." Old Gou waved his hand. "The three of you are like dead pigs that aren't afraid of boiling water."

He spoke eloquently and cursed for a long time.

Their gaze shifted from Xu Jiyang to Li Junyu.

Both of them were extremely serious, while Chi Sui, who was on the far side, looked a little dazed and clearly wasn't listening to him.

Old Gou was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath. "A five-thousand-word self-criticism, due by next Monday."

-

The first class was Chinese.

Li Li was explaining the six Chinese language test papers that needed to be completed during the seven-day holiday. She explained the questions very quickly, mainly focusing on interesting questions or new knowledge points.

Half a class period had passed and three test papers had already been covered.

"Take out the fourth test paper..."

"Report!"

At the front door of the classroom, Xu Jiyang stood at the very front, looking pale and sickly.

Li Li glanced at him. "Why that look? Skipping half a class to eat breakfast outside of school, shouldn't you be happy?"

Xu Jiyang was surprised. "How did you know?"

Li Li: "When I rode by on my bike, weren't you sitting by the window, grinning with your big teeth showing?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The other students in the class burst into loud laughter.

Ji Xiwen couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

Her gaze kept drifting uncontrollably behind Xu Jiyang, and then further and further behind him.

Chi Sui's expression was indifferent, but his fingers were hooking the strap of his schoolbag to the side, showing a hint of impatience or annoyance.

"Old Gou punished us with five thousand words of self-criticism, how could we possibly laugh?" Xu Jiyang sighed deeply.

"Oh hahaha..."

Li Li finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. "Serves you right. Since the director has punished me, you guys can go back first. I won't punish you."

Xu Jiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them returned to their seats.

Ji Xiwen quietly observed Chi Sui.

He only approached after the boy pulled out a chair, sat down, and put down his backpack.

He looked like he wanted to say something.

Chi Sui lowered his eyelids. "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiwen: "...Can I talk to you now?"

She still remembered the three rules they agreed upon.

The boomerang pierced his body. Chi Sui thought to himself, "People really shouldn't do too many bad things, or one day they'll definitely end up hurting themselves."

"Can."

"Did something happen to you? You don't seem to be in a good mood," Ji Xiwen asked with concern.

"..."

Chi then hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

Her eyes were so clean and clear, filled with pure concern, the kind of worry one would have for a friend or a brother.

It's not a romantic relationship between a man and a woman.

"No, I'm just a little sleepy," he said, trying to brush it off.

Ji Xiwen indeed did not ask any more questions.

She nodded knowingly. "Indeed, after all, you only went to sleep at three in the morning. Why don't you go back and catch up on your sleep after lunch today? You have math class this afternoon and math competition class tonight."

"Okay," he replied, lowering his head and no longer looking at her.

Ji Xiwen resumed his lecture.

Occasionally, I would look down and circle a few words or write a few characters, but most of the time I would look up at the multimedia screen in front of me.

Chi Sui just said he was sleepy, but that was just an excuse.

But listening to this Chinese class is indeed a bit hypnotic.

As get out of class was about to end, he was so sleepy that he forced himself not to fall asleep.

After all, Li Li is usually quite fierce.

He propped his chin up with one hand, barely managing not to lean on the table, while his other hand held a black pen, pretending to take notes.

Actually, the pen tip had already started scribbling nonsense, and the person had already gone far away.

"Let's take a break after class." Li Li unscrewed her thermos and took a sip of water to moisten her throat.

The next class will still be hers.

When assigning courses, Pingzhong likes to have two consecutive classes for a subject.

Especially Chinese language.

It makes it easier for students to write essays and practice composition.

Upon hearing this, Chi Sui felt as if he had received a pardon from the emperor.

The black pen tilted, and he collapsed onto the table.

Ji Xi glanced at him, and subconsciously quieted down the sound of turning the pages.

There was an indescribable noise in the classroom, with laughter and talking.

When Chi Sui lay on his side on the table, one of his ears was pressed against his arm and blocked, so his voice sounded as if it were through a layer of water.

One ear, however, could clearly hear all the sounds.

Including the deliberately quiet turning of pages by his deskmate.

Even when she was talking to Yu, she whispered, "Chi Sui is asleep."

Chi then fell into a deeper sleep.

Such a sound has a strong dream core, like a beautiful daydream, yet it seems as if it will be torn apart and shattered in the next second.

Seventeen-year-old Chi Sui thought that he might remember these chaotic sounds for the rest of his life, especially that careful "Chi Sui is asleep."

Adults know that vows made for a lifetime need to be made with utmost care.

Ke Chi did not understand.

He didn't know what the future held, nor did he know if Ji Xiwen would like him.

All he knows is that he likes it very much right now.

The sincerity I feel right now is unmatched.
