Chapter 27: Dare or Not

  The fruit that grows in Eden represents **love**, Adam and Eve only knew they loved each other after eating the apple.

  Chen Yan took the glow-in-the-dark apple from her hand and started speaking without waiting for her response.

  "Will you be my girlfriend?"

  Upon hearing this sentence, Xi Xi's eyes widened in shock, her face frozen with a faint tear stain, as if struck by lightning, unable to comprehend what Chen Yan meant.

  "Are you afraid?" Chen Yan's mouth curled up, amused by her awkward expression, and said with a half-joking, half-serious tone that scared her into this state.

  Xixi's mind flashed back to Lu Dongqi's words and Shen Luyao's squatting posture, a surge of blood rushed up her head, and she blurted out: "Who says I don't dare?"

  "It's settled then" Chen Yan played with the apple in his hand, his dark eyes surging with emotions.

  Chen Yan pushed open the door and walked into the house. At 10:30 at night, the living room lights were on, and Liang Qi was lying on the sofa watching TV with his legs raised. Hearing Chen Yan's return, he lazily lifted his head to look at him, and was surprised by what he saw. He hadn't misseen - Chen Yan's usual icy poker face actually had a smile on it, and it was... radiant with warmth.

  "Seventh Brother, what are you doing here?" Chen Yan was somewhat surprised to see Liang Qi.

  "Your brother got drunk at the Christmas party and I was ordered to send him back." Liang Qi pointed upstairs, meaning that Chen Bin had already fallen asleep.

  "Oh" Chen Yan nodded, carrying his backpack and preparing to go upstairs. Suddenly, he turned around again, smiling at Liang Qi with an air of triumph: "You can start preparing your ticket to Switzerland for skiing."

  Liang Qī jumped down from the sofa, extremely excited: "What does it mean? You really got Hello Kitty?"

  Chen Yan laughed with increasing complacency.

  Liang Qī's intestines were all green with regret, originally thinking that Xia Xīxī was the kind of stubborn and fierce person who would fight to the death with Chen Yan, but didn't expect him to be taken down so easily. If he had known earlier, he would have bet a smaller amount, Swiss skiing, he really lost big time! But is Liang Qī the kind of person who would willingly let others take advantage of him? Absolutely not! After thinking for a while, he came up with another idea, "I'll raise the stakes, European tour, I bet you and her won't last more than three months!"

  "Don't regret it" Chen Yan said with confidence

  "Hmm, if you lose, I don't want a European tour. You have to be my servant for a week, serving tea and water at my beck and call." Liang Qi was not lacking in sarcastic remarks, thinking of Chen Yan following him around, carrying his bags and running errands, a glint appeared in his eyes, and a mischievous smile spread across his face.

  "Deal" Chen Yan and he slapped hands as a vow

  Xia Xi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Too many things had happened that night, and she couldn't digest them all at once.

  About Lu Dongqi, she has too many memories, can't remember when she started liking him, maybe it was when he picked flowers for her and smiled at the light when she was very young, or maybe it was when she got into trouble and hid behind him, and he took the blame for her. In her memory, she liked that boy with such a humble and joyful heart, this feeling is transparent and fragile, she carefully placed it in her heart, afraid of being discovered by others

  But since he was so particular, how could he have impulsively agreed to Chen Yan?

  Although she didn't understand Chen Yan, she understood one principle: a person can't suddenly change their nature and pursue someone they originally disliked. Such an abrupt change must be a conspiracy behind it.

  After a moment of contemplation, Xi Xi had an epiphany in her mind. Chen Yan's confession might be the beginning of another trap he set.

  If it's so carefully planned to wait for her to make a fool of herself, then she'll accompany him to the end and see who can laugh last. Tonight, she even lost Lu Dongqi, what's there to fear about Chen Yan?

  On the second day, Xi Xi was woken up by Chen Yan's text message, and on the phone screen, a line of small words appeared: Get up, little girlfriend.

  Xi Xi immediately recalled yesterday's events, but she was now Chen Yan's girlfriend, a hint of mockery flashed across her face, and in an instant, she entered the role, her fingers flying quickly to type out a line: "Good morning, Merry Christmas, Ah Yan"

  Isn't it just acting? Although she may not be better than him on stage, in reality, she may not necessarily lose to him.

  The phone quickly responded, she swept a glance at it and threw it aside, her eyes calm and waveless, without any emotion.

  Although she could gain a slight advantage through wireless electronic waves, once in the classroom, sitting back-to-back with Chen Yan, Xi Xi was at a disadvantage. She felt like Chen Yan was staring at her from behind all day, making her feel uneasy and restless, as if there were thorns on her back. Her hands and feet seemed to be disobedient, not knowing where to put them.

  Finally got out of school, Chen Yan had been waiting for her outside.

  "What a coincidence!" She pretended to be surprised, but in her heart, she was thinking about what move Chen Yan would make next and how she should counter it.

  "Ah, what a coincidence." Chen Yan affectionately ruffled her hair.

  Xi Xi suddenly jumped away, although she had made up her mind to join his game and see what tricks he was playing, but she really didn't want to get too close to Chen Yan, and besides, rubbing her hair, this has always been Lu Dong Qi's exclusive move.

  "Huh?" Seeing her reaction, Chen Yan was displeased for a moment. Such strong rejection of getting close to him, as if he really wanted to do something to her, and he just had to go against her will.

  Xi Xi took two steps back, Chen Yan moved forward three steps, stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around her waist. He leaned in close to her ear and asked softly, "What are you hiding from?"

  The hot air that came out of his mouth suddenly scorched Xi Xi's ear roots, her face turned bright red in an instant, and she was anxious in her heart. She hurriedly pushed him away: "I agreed to be your girlfriend, but I didn't agree to let you take liberties with me."

  Chen Yan smiled and said, "Alright, as you wish."

  After that, he stood by her side and walked with her to the school gate, keeping a fist's distance, neither too far nor too close, even Xia Xi couldn't find fault.

  When it was time to part ways, Chen Yan spoke up: "Get some rest early, I'll call you tonight."

  "If there's nothing important, don't call me again. My parents will get suspicious." Xi Xi bluntly refused, she really didn't want to answer Chen Yan's calls. When the two of them were face-to-face, they both had ulterior motives and rarely spoke, let alone on the phone, which would be even more awkward.

  "Can't you just send a text message?" Chen Yan helplessly shrugged and lowered his expectations.

  "...That... the final exams are approaching, I should focus on studying." As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze passed over Chen Yan's shoulder and saw Lu Dongqi walking towards them.

  His expression was as gentle as ever, chatting with his classmates about something happy, laughing like a spring breeze, but he didn't notice her, yet step by step approaching.

  "I'm leaving first, see you later" She ran away hastily, afraid of running into Chen Yansi and Lu Dongqi face to face, still caring about it in her heart, after such a long time of thinking about it, it's not something that can be put down just by saying so

  Her mind was in a mess, unsure whether it was right or wrong to confront Chen Yan at this critical moment. Perhaps she should avoid stirring up trouble at this chaotic juncture, but she knew that once she had boarded the pirate ship, it wouldn't be easy to get off again.
