Chapter 22: Eating Sugar?

  Xiao Yan sat huddled against the wall for a whole night, and after a long time, she heard the alarm clock ringing and the sunlight shining outside the window. She got up shakily and headed to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for school.

  In the bathroom, Xiaoyan turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her face, until it was numb from the chill, before lifting her head to look at herself in the mirror.

  Her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, with bloodshot eyes and a pale complexion. She patted her face hard, took a deep breath, and smiled at herself in the mirror, as if comforting another self that was also haggard.

  The north wind was blowing strongly, and in the clear and quiet morning, it felt unusually icy. It swept across her face, cold enough to make her shiver. Xiaoyan wore a black down jacket, pulling out the sleeves to wrap layer by layer around the gruesome scratch marks.

  Early this morning, the math teacher and class advisor came to the classroom with a thick layer of powder on her shiny face and exceptionally bright lips, looking like a female ghost that could scare people to death. She didn't have her usual fierce and intimidating demeanor, but instead had a radiant smile as if she had won several million dollars, which was quite an unusual change and made people feel uncomfortable.

  The head teacher walked onto the stage and clapped her hands, signaling everyone to quiet down. The classroom fell silent instantly. Then she continued:

  "Good morning, classmates! Today, we have a new student joining our class, who is an art major recruited from abroad. Let's give him a warm welcome with applause!" The head teacher said with a smile, clapping his hands loudly as he looked towards the door.

  Xiao Yan heard the sound and looked up towards the outside of the door, only to see a woman walking in wearing square-framed sunglasses, short hair that reached her ears, and sucking on a lollipop. The woman walked onto the stage and took off her sunglasses, revealing a doll-like face with big eyes sparkling brightly, looking so cute and innocent, which didn't match at all with the various metal studs and cool decorations on her outfit.

  The woman took out a lollipop from her mouth and coughed lightly twice.

  "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Xianqi. Take care." As she spoke, the woman named Xianqi inserted her sunglasses into the collar of her school uniform and smiled slightly.

  The boys in the class applauded warmly and whistled when they saw a pretty girl, but the girls just sneered and snickered.

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow, thinking to himself that it was so noisy early in the morning and he had just managed to catch up on some sleep. He got up, ready to scold someone, but when he looked up, he saw their class teacher standing on the platform with a smile, and beside her stood a familiar figure, causing him to reveal an incredulous expression.

  Xian Qi looked at Ye Chen's expression with his chin almost dropping and stuck out her tongue to make a face at him.

  The class teacher waved his hand at this time, indicating that the male classmates could stop, and then turned his head to Xianhui and said:

  "Xian Qi classmates want to sit where, choose by yourself."

  Upon hearing this sentence, all the boys with empty seats next to them started getting excited, hoping that Xianxuan would walk over to their side.

  Xian Qi slowly walked down from the stage, her eyes seemed to be searching for something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she stared at Xiao Yan who was lost in thought with her head down. With a confident expression, Xian Qi walked over to her and put down her school bag.

  Xiao Yan looked up unknowingly and saw a lovely smiling face asking her:

  "Are you Xiaoyan?"

  Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

  Xian Qi stood up excitedly, sat down and grasped Xiao Yan's arm, saying happily:

  "See, I guessed it right! Sister-in-law is great! From now on, we're desk mates, take care of each other often. Do you want to eat candy?" As she said that, she randomly picked out a stick of rock candy from her bag full of snacks and handed it to Xiaoyan.

  Xiao Yan stood there in stunned silence for a moment before slowly taking the candy and asking with a puzzled expression:

  "Sister-in-law?"

  "Yes." Xian Qi responded with a smile.

  "Are you calling me sister-in-law?"

  "That's right, it's sister-in-law."

  Before Xiao Yan could react, the class teacher slapped the lectern with a ruler, making a loud noise, and glared around.

  "Everyone be quiet and get ready for class!"

  Looking at this momentum, I'm afraid the 'devilish class leader' is about to get angry again. Xiaoyan sat quietly, not continuing to ask questions, but was full of doubts. Sister? Could it be that Ye Chen has a younger sister?
