Chapter 21: The Legendary Willow Piercing Fish

  On the way back to school, there was nothing to worry about, and both of their moods were very pleasant. Sitting in the car, they couldn't help but be restless, engaging in a war of words, having a great time. The people around them finally couldn't bear it anymore and quietly reminded them: "You two calm down a bit." The implication was that they were disturbing others.

  Su Yisu and Su Yixin's faces suddenly turned red, they apologized to the person repeatedly, then looked at each other and fell silent.

  After a while, Su Yisu couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Su Yixin, I'm really curious, your grades are usually so good, why did you do so poorly on these few exams?"

  Su Yixin glared at her and said, "Do you want me to mind my own business? I'd be happy to fail the exam if that's what you're implying."

  "Impossible!" Su Yisu shot him a disdainful glance, "You think I'd believe that?"

  "Believe it or not!"

  "Brother..." Su Yisu suddenly moved closer, slyly asking: "It's not because you've fallen in love and neglected your studies, is it?"

  "Get out!" Su Yixin made a fierce expression, pushing Su Yisuo away, saying: "You're simply insulting my character!"

  Su Yi looked puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with character?"

  Su Yixin didn't respond, plugged in her earbuds and listened to music, closed her eyes and rested, with a completely unwilling attitude to talk more.

  Su Yi Su helplessly shrugged her shoulders and leaned her head on Su Yi Xin's shoulder for a short rest - she was indeed exhausted.

  As Su Yisuo leaned in, Su Yixin turned his head to glance at her, and she had already entered sleep mode, with a faint smile hanging on her lips, quiet and peaceful.

  Is it sister complex? Su Yixin suddenly remembered the content she saw in a book some time ago, and thinking about how she had fallen behind in her studies due to being busy investigating Jiang Fengchen, couldn't help but feel confused. What kind of emotion was that? Love? Familial affection?

  It's probably just an excessive familial affection, Su Yixin tried to comfort herself. For twins siblings, emotions may have been a bit more subtle and intricate from the start?

  When they returned to school, it was already after noon. The sky was gloomy and overcast due to the lack of sunlight, making it seem more like dusk. The January wind howled as it blew through, causing the leaves to rustle. Su Yi and Su Yi walked in the campus, with Su Yi walking slightly ahead on the windward side, blocking the blowing wind. His short hair was blown back and forth, revealing a clear demarcation line. Su Yi followed closely behind him, but Su Yi's slender figure couldn't withstand the strong gusts of wind. Her shoulder-length black hair fluttered in the wind like willow silk. Perhaps they were both tired, so they walked silently, without exchanging a word along the way.

  When they reached the entrance of the backyard, Su Yixin turned around and said: "Go back and sleep some more, otherwise you won't have energy for tonight's self-study session, got it?"

  Su Yisu yawned and said: "I know, it's still so... boring! Who wants to go to the bottom of the valley to catch fish?"

  Su Yi Xin sighed helplessly.

  Arriving at the dormitory, Su Yisou found that several people had already arrived and weakly greeted them before crawling onto her bed. After a while, she sat up again to rummage through her bag, pulled out her phone, only to discover that it had been switched to silent mode at some point, with several missed calls and unread messages displayed on the screen. Upon opening them, they were all from Lin Wan and Jiang Zuo, inquiring about what had happened. After thinking for a moment, Su Yisou got off the bed again and headed towards Lin Wan's dormitory.

  Unexpectedly, Jiang Zuo was also there, and the two of them were lying on the bed staring blankly at their phones.

  Su couldn't help but smile slightly and whispered: "Does your phone look good?"

  Lin Wan and Jiang Xiao were startled, looked up, and saw Su Yi Su standing at the door with a smile that begged to be punched.

  Jiang Zuo's face turned red with rage as he thundered in a low voice: "Su Yisou, how could you play truant on such a serious matter?!"

  Su Yi Su innocently waved her hand and said, "I turned off the sound, it really has nothing to do with me."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Wan jumped down from the bed, pulled Su Yisuo over and said: "Cut to the chase, what exactly happened at your house?"

  Jiang Zhe sat up straight with a tense face.

  "It was just a false alarm......" Su Yisuo said slowly and deliberately, as if intentionally trying to torment the two of them.

  “……”

  “……”

  Upon hearing this, the two of us looked at each other, and tacitly climbed back onto the bed, pulled over the quilt to cover ourselves, and ignored Su Yisuo.

  Su Yisuo gloomily and stubbornly burrowed into their quilt, turned over with difficulty, and fell asleep.

  The New Year's holiday has passed in such a hurry, and Su Yisu took only three seconds to get used to the holiday, but it will take three days to get used to the end of the holiday. The happy days are always short.

  As the semester draws to a close, coupled with the cold winter weather that makes people want to shrink back, the sleepiness bug strikes strongly, and during class breaks, everyone lazily puts their heads on their desks to rest, turning what was once a noisy break into an unusually quiet one.

  Su Yisu was another exception, when others were tired, it was precisely her energetic time. She pulled Li Shuixian, who didn't respond. Pulled again, still no response. Continued to pull, and finally, Li Shuixian reacted, lazily lifting his hand to wave, before falling asleep again.

  Su Yisu felt bored and had no choice but to run out of the corridor and play with the clover by herself.

  "Hey, easy!"

  Behind her, someone called out to her again. Wouldn't it be a coincidence? Su Yisu secretly cursed, every time she came out, she would run into Jiang Fengchen? With a stiff smile, she turned around, just about to greet him, when she realized the person speaking wasn't Jiang Fengchen at all, but Mo Zilin.

  "Zi Lin," Su Yisu said with a smile, "what wind blew you here?"

  Mo Zilin, however, didn't give her any face and sneered: "Your hypocritical smile has exposed your false intentions. It seems that a certain someone isn't very eager for me to be the one who came."

  "Nothing of the sort!" Su Yisou said with a smile all over her face. "Isn't this too unexpected?"

  "Alright, I reluctantly accept." Mo Zilin didn't bother to argue further, after all they were just joking around. He pulled out an envelope that he had been hiding behind his back and handed it to her, saying: "Here, maybe this is what you've been thinking of."

  Su Yisu curiously sized up the pink envelope without reaching out to take it and only asked: "What's this?"

  "It's just a love letter." Mo Zilin replied nonchalantly.

  "Love... love letter?!!" Su Yisu couldn't help but exclaim, her mind constantly asking herself: Is this stuff still popular now?!

  She didn't care whether she accepted it or not, and handed it to her before turning around and leaving. As he walked away, he said: "I'm just a courier, if you don't accept it I won't be able to complete my task."

  Su Yi Su silently watched him leave.

  Mo Zilin returned to the classroom, Jiang Fengchen was sitting anxiously waiting for him to come back. As soon as he saw Mo Zilin, he immediately rushed over and carefully asked: "How is it?"

  Mo Zi Lin gave him a white eye, and returned to his seat, saying slowly: "I'm telling you, old three, don't ask me to do this kind of thing again in the future, it's very stupid, you know?"

  Jiang Fengchen didn't have the heart to joke with him and only urged: "Hurry up and say it, did she accept?"

  Mo Zilin stared at him speechlessly, indignantly saying "You little scoundrel only has Su Yisou in your eyes, huh?"

  Jiang Fengchen also pulled over a chair and sat down, saying: "Old Mo, don't torture me anymore."

  "Alright," Mozilin resigned, "I handed it to her, whether she reads it or not I don't know." In the end, he scorned again, and secretly thought: Perhaps Yisu also thinks so? Thinking about it, his mouth corners slightly rose, Jiang Fengchen, you deserve to be scorned for being a philanderer.

  Jiang Fengchen was secretly excited for a moment, then said seriously: "Old Mo, I will remember your great kindness and virtue in my heart!"

  "No," Mozilin refused, "only actions speak louder than words."

  "Ah, it's become too common..."

  After school, there were fewer people in the classroom. Su Yisu finally took out the letter from the drawer and looked at it back and forth, occasionally pouting her mouth and occasionally frowning, but she didn't open it, as if she could see through the envelope to read the words inside.

  "Hey, are you inventing something great?" A teasing voice suddenly echoed outside the window.

  Su Yisu didn't even need to look to know that Jiang Zuo and Lin Wan were standing outside the window waiting to see her make a fool of herself, so she replied without lifting her head: "Yes, I'm studying whether there's a mysterious power sealed in the envelope. Once you open it, you'll be freed... the person who opens it will fall into..."

  Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, such a profound field."

  Su Yisuo stood up and walked out of the classroom, came to their front, said: "Here, it's ready for you to study."

  "No way," Lin Wan repeatedly refused, "such a pink envelope, it's a love letter. Oh my, seeing such an envelope makes me feel like I'm several years younger. What do you think?"

  "I think it's extremely strange for a grown man like you to use a pink envelope."

  Su Yisu smiled and put the envelope into her bag. The three of them walked down from the teaching building together.

  "But still, he's quite a handful. From the start of the semester to the end, he's almost always in front of people, showing off and coming up with new ideas."

  "Is this the legendary willow-piercing fish?" Su Yisuo muttered to himself.

  "Willow Pierced Fish? What kind of fish is this?"

  She gave Su a white glance, "That's a kind of flower, the language of flowers is 'tenacious'. It's said that anyone who receives blessings from this flower at birth will, if they encounter someone of the opposite sex they like, persistently entangle themselves with the other person, relentlessly pursuing them until the other person agrees..."

  Lin Wan's face was covered in sweat, "There's actually a flower like this... and with a name like this... really, it's a perfect match!"

  "Never mind, let's go eat."

  After finishing dinner in the cafeteria, the three of them coincidentally ran into Jiang Fengchen, who claimed to have come down to buy something. Probably seeing that Jiang Yaoyue and Lin Wan were there, Jiang Fengchen didn't say much, just greeted them before leaving, but not before taking a lingering glance at Su Yisuo.

  Waiting for him to walk far away, Jiang Xiao finally couldn't help but say: "Those eyes are too revealing."

  "Sui, you've lost to others." Lin Wan said.

  Su Yisu hadn't spoken yet, but Jiang Yaoyong hastily said: "No, no good."

  Su Yisu smiled and said: "Yes, everything depends on you!"

  On the way back to the dormitory, Su Yi secretly turned her head and took a glance at the boys' dormitory 2 behind her. Without the shelter of trees, the empty building in front was clearly visible, with one or two people standing on each floor's balcony chatting, wondering if there was a Jiang Fengchen inside?
