Chapter 4

  The next day during lunch break, a girl who wasn't very familiar came over and said, "Yu Cai, someone is looking for you outside."

  Yu Cai was a bit bewildered, wondering who could be looking for her. If it were Ding Si, he should have come straight to the classroom. But she didn't recognize anyone from outside the class... except for Ji Shi, that is.

  As soon as she left the classroom, Yucai saw a long-haired girl standing in the corridor with a few points of hostility staring at her.

  Yu Cai's eyes lit up in front of her, what a beautiful girl! Of course, if her eyes were even more kind, it would be even better.

  "Are you Yu Cai?"

  Yu Cai nodded, still unable to figure out who the girl in front of him was.

  "Is she Jixi's older cousin?"

  Yu Cai nodded again.

  "How come I've never heard him say that?"

  Yu Cai blinked her eyes, "Girl, haven't you heard him say it before? Why don't you just go ask him directly? What's the point of running to ask me?"

  "Are you giving Ji Shi supplementary English lessons?"

  Yu Cai nodded.

  The beauty got excited, "I want to give him a tutorial, he never agrees, how can you let him have a tutorial?"

  "Uh, maybe it's because of the man's self-esteem".

  "What do you mean?"

  Yu Cai sighed and said, "Think about it, for a man, is it easier to accept help from an older female cousin or from a pretty girl?"

  The beauty didn't know whether she was moved by Yucai's words or the pretty girl, but her attitude improved a lot. "I am Xia Yunyun, a junior high school classmate of Qizhi."

  "Oh, just a junior high school classmate?" Yu Cai's expression was appropriate for an elder teasing a younger person.

  As expected, Xia Yun's expression became even more joyful, her smile blooming like a spring flower. Yu Xi couldn't help but secretly lament that she hadn't noticed such a beauty in XX High School before, and how this beauty had somehow overlooked that numb face of Jiexi.

  "I'm in class one, come find me when you're free."

  Yu Cai solved a potential big trouble and was overjoyed, laughing extremely brightly, "Good, definitely!"

  After sending off Xia Yunyun and returning to her seat, Qiao Jia immediately pulled Yu Cai and asked, "Who is Xia Yunyun?"

  Li Miao also came over.

  "Uh-huh."

  "How did you get to know her? I heard she was a famous beauty in the junior high school department, and she was known as the 'Golden Boy and Jade Maiden' along with Qi Xizhe!"

  Yu Cai almost got scared, Jin Tong? That facial paralysis?

  Qiao Jia saw Yu Cai stunned and asked again, "How did you get to know her?"

  Yu Cai snapped back to reality, "Oh, I lent a book to my classmate, who then lent it to another classmate, and eventually it ended up in Xia Yunyun's hands. She accidentally lost it and told me about it."

  Qiao Jia hummed in response, clearly unimpressed by her borrowing book theory.

  "What book?"

  "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," Yu Cai Xing replied with a hint of embarrassment.

  "You actually like watching 'Three Kingdoms'!" Li Miao seemed very surprised, seeing Yu Cai didn't want to talk deeply about it, immediately changed the subject, "I have a very good book, do you want to read it?"

  Yu Cai hadn't replied yet when Qiao Jia chimed in, "What book is it? Is it good?"

  Li Miao's attention was immediately drawn to Qiao Jia, "Triple Door, it's really well written, you can tell at a glance".

  "Really?! Then can you lend it to me? When can you bring it..."

  Yu Cai's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile as he picked up the math book on the table and flipped through it page by page. Li Miao was an outgoing, clever, and witty guy who had been infatuated with Qiao Jia for three years in high school, even when she was dating Mo Fei, he never gave up. It's said that there's a sequel after college, but Yu Cai wasn't too clear about it.

  However, it was also because of this reason that Li Miao had been ignoring Yu Cai for three years. There were two times when Li Miao was explaining a problem to Yu Cai and halfway through, Qiao Jia interrupted him, he immediately forgot about Yu Cai and went to please Qiao Jia instead. After that, Yu Cai never took the initiative to talk to him again and also put him on her list of people she disliked. It's said that a smart boy like him shouldn't know that girls are all very petty-minded, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care anyway?

  Moreover, it's not just him, he's just the most overboard. Qiao Jia seems to have a special hobby, every time someone talks to Yu Cai, she always tries to grab the other person's attention, like just now, this is undoubtedly a huge blow to Yu Cai who was weak and sensitive at that time, but didn't know how to fight back, the whole first year of high school lived under Qiao Jia's shadow, until the second year when she gradually got familiar with Mo Fei.

  Until the bell rang, Li Miao and Qiao Jia reluctantly stopped, at this time Li Miao had not fully devoted himself to Qiao Jia, and he still remembered Yu Cai, poking her, "Hey, Yu Cai, that book is really good, after Qiao Jia finishes reading it, you must take a look!"

  Yu Cai nodded calmly, "It's indeed well-written, I read it three times in a row and still felt it wasn't enough. Han Han also has another book 'Subzero' that's not bad either, you can take a look when you have time." After finishing speaking, she ignored Li Miao's shocked expression, opened her notebook, and pretended to be eagerly waiting for the teacher...

  In the evening before class, Yu Cao took a closer look at Qi Shi and discovered that the delicate eyebrows and eyes of this little boy, combined with his cold features, indeed had a fatal attraction to those young girls. Yu Cao shrank her neck, fortunately thinking ahead, saying he was her cousin, otherwise just dealing with those girls who openly or secretly liked him would be overwhelming.

  A handsome guy has many troubles, this sentence is indeed an eternal truth. Perhaps the god of love really gave him a peach blossom face that attracts not only beauties but also handsome guys.

  "What?!" A familiar cry of surprise.

  Rubbing her temples, she tried to calm down and said, "If you please."

  Xiaobai's typical selective deafness relapsed again, "A Shi wouldn't be your cousin, would she?"

  Qī shì zhī huǎng rán wèi wén, yùn bǐ rú fēng, Yù Cǎi zhèng zài fá tā xiě dān cí.

  Translation:

  Qi Shi's sudden enlightenment was unheard of, his brush moved like the wind, Yu Cai was punishing him by making him write single words.

  Xiaobai's face turned towards Yucai, "When did A Shi have an older sister?"

  Yu Cai lifted her face, extremely serious, "I think he's had it since I was born, but maybe it should be counted from when Ah Shi was born".

  Huh, Yu Xiaojie, don't you think this joke is too corny?

  Xiaobai's face was also shocked by Yu Cai, and after thinking for half a day, he couldn't think of an answer that could compare with Yu Cai. On the other side, Yu Cai returned to his usual serious demeanor as if nothing had happened, leaving Xiaobai to walk away in embarrassment.
