Chapter 37 The Brother Who Returned to School Is Truly Heartless

Standing before the familiar gates of the National Academy, Jin Suiqing sat inside the rhinoceros-horse carriage, his hands on his knees, his bottom fidgeting restlessly, clearly unable to sit still.

Jin Shiyu, who was facing him, had his eyes closed and was resting: "What's wrong, little sister?"

Jin Suiqing lowered her head: "Nothing."

She thought to herself, "The sun must have risen in the west. The young master is so bored from recuperating that he actually offered to ride to school with me."

Jin Shiyu opened her eyes, lifted the carriage curtain, and got out of the carriage first. Jin Suiqing waited for a while, estimating that the person had gone far away, before getting out of the carriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted the curtain, Jin Shiyu stood in front of the carriage, staring at her intently: "Why are you so slow?"

Jin Suiqing's eyes widened. She thought to herself, "Of course I was slow. I thought you'd already left before I came out." She stammered, "My hair felt a little messy, so I...tidied myself up..."

Jin Shiyu leaned closer, looked up at Jin Suiqing, and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "It's not messy, little sister is very pretty."

Jin Suiqing: ?

Did Kim Si-ok take the wrong medicine today? Probably not, she didn't take the wrong medicine when she applied it this morning.

Jin Suiqing felt uncomfortable and wanted to forcefully slap Jin Shiyu's hand away, but just before their skin touched, she stopped herself and instead gently pushed Jin Shiyu's hand away by touching it with her fingertips.

What surprised Jin Suiqing even more was yet to come.

Jin Shiyu then slightly opened his arms towards Jin Suiqing, who looked bewildered: "What is brother doing?"

Jin Shiyu: "I'll carry you down."

Jin Suiqing waved her hand and reached out to push Jin Shiyu away: "I can get down by myself."

Jin Shiyu stood still, blocking her way, and said calmly, "Try falling again?"

Jin Suiqing's expression changed: "Don't hug me, can I help you up instead?"

Jin Shiyu stretched out a hand and placed it flat in front of Jin Suiqing. Jin Suiqing was afraid that he would change his mind, so he quickly grabbed his hand and gently jumped to the ground.

As a result, after landing, Jin Shiyu not only didn't let go, but instead grasped her hand and led her towards the National Academy, causing passersby to frequently turn their heads back. Jin Suiqing struggled repeatedly to no avail, so she gave up and was led away by Jin Shiyu with a blank expression.

As they walked, Jin Shiyu kept reminding him, "Avoid strenuous exercise, and be careful with your ankles when you're active..."

Jin Suiqing couldn't help but say, "Brother, you're so long-winded."

Jin Shiyu stopped in his tracks.

A sense of crisis instantly arose, and Jin Suiqing hurriedly said, "Not much, not at all."

Jin Shiyu didn't say another word on the rest of the way. But when they reached the school gate, Jin Shiyu let go of Jin Suiqing's hand and turned to leave.

Kim Si-ok walked very fast.

Watching his retreating figure, Jin Suiqing pouted, "I suppose he's still angry."

Suddenly, Jin Suiqing remembered something and realized something was wrong. She took out some wound powder from her small pouch and slapped her forehead.

I forgot to give the medicine to Kim Shi-ok again!

Jin Suiqing felt that she and the matter of applying medicine were incompatible.

When she was injured, Jin Shiyu forced her to apply medicine to him every day; when Jin Shiyu was injured, he forced her to apply medicine to him every day, so she went day and night, rain or shine.

As a result of the numerous visits, the awkward incident that occurred in Jin Shiyu's room was completely resolved, and Jin Suiqing's thick skin successfully reached a new level.

She planned to slip the medicine bottle to Jin Shiyu during her return to school, using it as an excuse to avoid applying the medicine. However, Jin Shiyu managed to outmaneuver her, causing her to lose her composure and forget about the matter.

Jin Suiqing gripped the medicine bottle tightly, gritting her teeth and vowing to get rid of it today.

As she turned and walked through the corridor toward the school, she unexpectedly ran into Yin Rushi, who was standing in front of the school gate carrying large and small bags. When she saw Jin Suiqing, her eyes lit up and she beamed with joy: "Little Princess!"

Thinking of what she had seen in the cave, Jin Suiqing took a half-step back warily: "Sister Yin."

Yin Rushi noticed Jin Suiqing's evasiveness, paused, and her smile instantly became somewhat forced. She looked down at the small medicine bottle in Jin Suiqing's hand and hurriedly said, "Little Princess, have you used this medicine before? Was it effective?"

Although it wasn't used on Jin Suiqing, judging from the speed at which Jin Shiyu's wounds healed, the medicine was effective. Jin Suiqing nodded: "It works very well, thank you, Sister Yin."

Yin Ru was overjoyed and walked a few steps to Jin Suiqing's side, stuffing all the bags in her hands into her hands: "That's good. I wanted to see you a few days ago, but Jin Shiyu always stopped me. I thought it would be inconvenient to disturb your recovery and rest, so I came up with this clumsy idea of ​​coming to your door to block the little princess."

Yin Rushi spoke of Jin Shiyu with gritted teeth, as if preventing her from seeing Jin Suiqing had committed some heinous crime.

Jin Suiqing found it amusing: "How did brother stop sister?"

Yin Rushi's lips twitched, and she said fiercely, "He told the servants to splash water and sweep in front of the door, saying that he had something to do today and that the guests would come another day."

Jin Suiqing couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing her laugh, Yin Rushi added, "It's not just me, it's His Highness the Crown Prince too."

The Jin family truly held a special position. Although they didn't hold any official positions, they still had some influence. Especially since the young princess's injury was inextricably linked to Huangfu Li, it was understandable that the Jin family was annoyed.

I just wanted to laugh when I heard that Kim Shi-ok had done it.

Jin Suiqing never expected that Jin Shiyu and Yin Rushi, who were just blind date partners, would dare to give Sister Yin a cold shoulder. Her brother was truly heartless.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Suiqing handed the items back to Yin Rushi: "Sister Yin, I can't accept these things."

Yin Rushi said anxiously, "Why not? I've already bypassed Jin Shiyu. These are all your favorite snacks and desserts, as well as jewelry that I asked my parents to send from Jiangzhe. The little princess saved me, so I owe you my life. If Suiqing doesn't like them, I'll bring you something new. Just take whatever you like from my clothes..."

A barrage of words came crashing down on Jin Suiqing, leaving her stunned and bewildered, as if something was amiss.

Jin Suiqing stared at Yin Rushi thoughtfully.

Did she also manage to gain Yin Rushi's favor in the process?

Seeing that Jin Suiqing remained silent, Yin Rushi was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Little Princess, just say it! If you want it, I'll pluck all the stars from the sky for you!"

Jin Suiqing leaned back strategically, shaking her head and saying, "Sister Yin, that's not what I meant..."

Yin Rushi: "Then what do you mean!"

Jin Suiqing's heart pounded. She had stolen the female lead's boyfriend. Would the female lead retaliate against her in the future?

Soon, Jin Suiqing shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind. Whatever, having more friends means having more options. She hugged Yin Rushi and comforted her, saying, "No, I don't ask for anything in return for being able to save Sister Yin."

"I only ask that in the future, if Suiqing encounters any trouble," Jin Suiqing took a half step back and smiled brightly, "that Sister Yin can lend me a hand."

After speaking, tears welled up in Yin Rushi's eyes again. She took a breath and said, "I misjudged the young princess. The young princess is an excellent person."

Jin Suiqing blushed and waved her hands repeatedly.

No, no, it's all an act, please don't take it seriously.

The two had a brief conversation. Jin Suiqing refused Yin Rushi's gift under the pretext of attending class. In reality, if she had brought the gift to see Jin Shiyu, given that her father was so controlling, he would have asked her all sorts of questions, which would have exhausted her.

Before leaving, Yin Rushi pulled Jin Suiqing back: "I have a good friend today..." After a pause, she added: "Never mind, Princess, go to class."

Yin Rushi left Jin Suiqing completely confused by her half-finished sentence. Since she had already left, Jin Suiqing couldn't press her for an answer and could only go into the classroom to think about it.

As soon as she sat down, Gong Xiaoyang, who was sitting behind her, moved a stack of homework in front of her: "Your Highness, this is the homework for the past two days."

Jin Suiqing opened her eyes wide, grabbed Gong Xiaoyang by the neck and pulled him closer, biting his ear and pretending to be angry, "Aren't you going to help me write it?"

Gong Xiaoyang: "Ever since the little princess got last place in the exam for who knows how many times, your brother has been keeping a close eye on you. If I help you with your homework, I might hand it in, but do you think your brother will come back to check it? If the handwriting is different, we're both doomed."

Jin Suiqing rolled her eyes: "What are you pretending for? You're an expert at imitating handwriting. So what if you wrote it for me? I don't believe my brother can recognize it."

Gong Xiaoyang rubbed his fingers together and said with a sly smile, "That's a different price."

Good boss Jin Suiqing blinked, decisively released Gong Xiaoyang, and began to study the homework.

Gong Xiaoyang clapped his hands: "Write it properly, don't just slack off."

Jin Suiqing kicked Gong Xiaoyang, which was noticed by the teacher who had just entered the room. He subtly criticized her, and finally said, "I've told Jin Shiyu to keep an eye on you and make sure you finish your homework on time." This completely wore down Jin Suiqing's temper.

They all used Kim Shi-ok to manipulate her!

As Jin Suiqing slumped onto the table in a huff, the teacher cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Today, our Class A of the Middle School will welcome a new classmate."

The classmates around her gave a symbolic clapping in welcome, but Jin Suiqing didn't care. She just mumbled "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" to get by, while concentrating on her homework on the desk.

Until that damned system in my head suddenly started yelling.

It wasn't an alarm, but a genuine, chaotic cacophony of beeps, beeps, whimpers, and howls, a frenzied, insane blare interspersed with eerie electronic malfunction sounds, exploding in Jin Suiqing's mind like a digital bomb!

The intense pain caused Jin Suiqing to furrow her brows and suddenly jump up.

It just so happens.

I ran into that new classmate who had just walked into the classroom.

*

Advanced Class A.

The teacher lectured with great passion, spittle flying everywhere. When he got excited, he looked down at his students and saw that they all had dull eyes, were swaying and dozing off. This made the teacher so angry that he glared at them, but he couldn't vent his anger for a long time.

The teacher admitted that his class was indeed boring, but he was unwilling to diminish his own prestige in this way. So he lowered his head and called on people to answer questions in the large, tiered classroom. After looking around, he saw Jin Shiyu, who seemed to be studying something intently with his head down.

He then pointed to Jin Shiyu and made him stand up. The handsome student pondered for a moment and then answered his question carefully. The teacher was delighted: "Well answered! Seeing how seriously you are thinking, could you share your insights with everyone?"

Jin Shiyu nodded and smiled: "Please forgive me, sir. I was working on my thesis just now and didn't hear much."

A burst of laughter filled the classroom. The teacher, furious, raised his hand to scold the teacher, when suddenly the classroom door was kicked open.

The person who slammed the door was a student in the middle school class. He had run so fast that he was panting heavily as he leaned against the door, unable to utter a word for a long time.

The teacher changed his tone and was about to scold him for being blind, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Jin Shiyu coldly leaning on the table, flipping over his seat and leaving the classroom without saying goodbye.

Before he could even open his mouth or utter a word of abuse, the teacher, enraged, pointed at the middle-grade students and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

“Sir…” the middle-aged student said, “I, I’ve come to see Kim Si-ok.”

Sir: "Where is Kim Si-ok? Stand up!"

Someone interjected, "Sir, you don't know? The person who just left was Kim Si-ok."

The man was even angrier: "What do you want with him?"

The middle-aged student gasped, "His sister, Jin Suiqing, is... the princess inexplicably got into a fight with the new classmate, wanting to compete in assembling magical weapons. We couldn't stop her no matter what we did, so we had to come and call him."

Although the old gentleman was pedantic, he became interested in this academic contest and asked, "A new student dares to compete with an old student? How bold! What's the new student's name?"

The middle-grade student's name is Huang Tufeng.

Modern Small Theater:

High school girl Bao was being harassed by suitors. Bao Bao said, "Go away, I have to take the college entrance exam, I don't want to date."

The suitor said, "Then I'll wait until you finish your exam."

Mei Bao rolled her eyes and made up a story: "I'm going abroad again and I'm not coming back."

The suitor: "Which country? I'll come find you."

Meibao was speechless: "I have an older brother."

The suitor: "Where? I'll go and build a good relationship with you, brother."

Meibao pointed behind him: "It's unlikely you'll get along well with someone behind you, but he'll probably break your legs."

"?"

The suitor turned around, and Kim Shi-ok, dressed in a suit and tie, was rushing towards him at high speed, brandishing a stick.

Meibao smiled and said, "Aren't you going to run?"
