Ye Qingyan hated this woman from the bottom of her heart. Not only was she pretending, but she also refused to admit that she had hurt someone.

"What are you doing?" Zhen Tian laughed at her ugly face.

"I'll just find her annoying." Ye Qingyan rolled her eyes. "This is the first time I've ever met such an extreme person. I mean, Sweetie."

"Um?"

"You should learn from them, see how they say it. Look at you, you just say your name and that's it? No presence at all. Next time, just say you have a super handsome older brother." Ye Qingyan was indignant: "They're so envious. Everyone has a dad, but not many have a brother like you."

"Actually, Zhizhi isn't my biological brother." Zhen Tian pinched her fingers back and forth.

"???"

"He's the older brother from next door..."

"Oh~~~" Ye Qingyan's eyes widened, and she raised an eyebrow at her mischievously: "I know, childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree, right? You get it, you get it, hehehe."

"You're a bit sleazy," Zhen Tian said honestly.

"Pshaw. None of that matters. What matters is whether your parents know him? I mean, do they know how he interacts with you? Like that day at the hospital." Ye Qingyan's gossipy eyes sparkled.

"I know."

"Oh~~~" Ye Qingyan also raised her eyebrows: "This is incredible. Doesn't this count as an arranged marriage, a child husband?"

"What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense." Zhen Tian angrily slapped Ye Qingyan.

"I won't say, I won't say." Ye Qingyan quieted down for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer again: "It's fine if you tell me, but don't be so honest in the future, answering everything people say. From now on, just say he's your brother, don't say he's just a neighbor. Understand?"

"Why?"

"Just don't worry about it, just do as I say, okay?"

"Oh."

Ye Qingyan shook her head, sitting in her seat. This little fool is incredibly naive. She's not careful with such a high-quality man; if someone else finds out, she'll snatch him away. So silly. She'll have to keep a closer eye on her in the future.

The entire class period, plus morning self-study, was spent introducing themselves. After class, Ye Qingyan dragged Zhen Tian to the restroom.

"Did you see that? There aren't many people your age who are as naive as you." Ye Qingyan pulled her towards the restroom: "After that Mi Le made it sound like her family was so powerful, look how many girls surrounded her after class. Tsk, she's only a teenager and she's already so materialistic."

"Ah!" Zhen Tian realized, "Didn't you have a falling out with her because of me? What if she takes advantage of her family to bully you?"

"I'm not afraid of that, sister." Ye Qingyan pouted. "I already said, everyone has a father, so don't worry. Besides, it has nothing to do with you. I can't stand her green tea attitude either."

"green tea?"

"Green tea bitch. Ugh, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you." She recalled the breakdown she felt when she explained the meaning of "white lotus" to her last time: "Just know that she's not a good person."

"Oh. We've arrived at the restroom."

Are you going or not?

"I'm not going." Zhen Tian shook her head.

"Then you can wait for me here," Ye Qingyan said, pointing to a window in the corridor.

"Um."

The toilets at No. 1 Middle School are located at both ends of the corridor, with the men's toilet on one side and the women's toilet on the other. The emergency exit is right next to the toilets.

Zhen Tian stood there obediently.

Not long after.

Several girls walked over, each surrounding a man.

"Lele, you're amazing! You've been learning piano since you were little, you must play it exceptionally well."

“Of course, I wanted to learn that when I was little, but it was too expensive, so my parents wouldn’t enroll me. Lele definitely doesn’t have that kind of worry.”

"Back then, a piano cost fifty or sixty thousand yuan. My parents didn't even earn that much in a year. They wouldn't let me learn no matter what."

"Oh, if you want to learn, you can come to my house and I'll teach you." Miler covered her mouth and laughed.

"Really? That's great! I've never even touched a piano before."

A group of people walked up to Zhen Tian, ​​and Mi Le gave Zhen Tian a triumphant look.

The other girls naturally knew about the disagreements between the two during military training.

To express her feelings, one girl rolled her eyes at Zhen Tian and said, "Move aside, you're blocking the way in front of the toilet door."

"Really, haven't you heard of a good dog not blocking the way?"

"How vulgar! Lele has never seen such a person before."

Zhen Tian stumbled from being jostled by them, looking at them with a puzzled expression. She was standing in front of the window, with enough space between her and the toilet door for four or five people to walk sideways. Who was she blocking?

"What, are you all pigs? One of you is worth six, so you can't get through?" Ye Qingyan came out and happened to see this situation. She shook the water droplets off her hands and deliberately splashed them in the faces of these people.

"What's it to you?"

"Am I not going to step in when I see injustice?" Ye Qingyan rolled her eyes. "You're already such a simp after just meeting her. Will you have to kneel down and put shoes on her shoes later?"

"you……"

"What's wrong with me? If you're not happy, let's fight." Ye Qingyan took a step forward, and the girls took a step back.

"Tch, what a coward." Ye Qingyan pulled Zhen Tian over: "Come on, Tian Tian."

"You're so amazing!" Zhen Tian looked at Ye Qingyan with eyes full of admiration.

"Look at you, how can you be so stupid?" Ye Qingyan turned around and scolded her, but when she saw the admiring look in her eyes, she immediately surrendered: "Now I know why your brother cherishes you so much."

Who could resist surrendering after seeing her clear, undisguised eyes?

"You need to fight back, fight back, you know that? It's clearly not your fault, why are you listening to their gossip?" Ye Qingyan was genuinely exasperated.

“But I don’t know how to argue.” Zhen Tian looked at her with difficulty.

“Nobody asked you to argue, so you…you just…” Ye Qingyan racked her brains: “Next time, just say whatever comes to mind. For example, what were you thinking when they were talking about you just now?”

"I..." Zhen Tian recalled for a moment, "I just felt that the place was so big, and I was right by the window, not blocking the way at all."

“Yes, next time you can just say what you think.” Ye Qingyan tapped her hand.

"Huh? Will this work?"

"It will definitely work, just listen to me."

"Oh, I understand."

Lunch break.

As soon as Zhen Tian stepped out of the classroom, she received a message from Ji Yuzhi.

[Owl emoji]: I'm waiting for you at the cafeteria entrance.

"What do you suggest we eat? The spicy hot pot at school is awful," Ye Qingyan asked, clinging to Zhen Tian's arm in distress.

"I don't know either."

She quickly replied to Ji Yuzhi's message, put away her phone, and dragged Ye Qingyan toward the cafeteria.

There was only one cafeteria in high school, and the food was always the same two things, so it wasn't very good.

"Or should we eat outside the school?"

"no."

"Hmm? You're scared?"

"No, someone is waiting for me in the cafeteria."

"Oh~~~ I know, childhood sweetheart, right? Let's go then, I'll eat that awful cafeteria food with you one more time today." This time, it was Ye Qingyan's turn to drag her away.
