Chapter 250

She didn't have to wait long before Su Qingbai came out and took the small table out from under the table, and the two of them sat on the ground to eat.

Although Xiaobai said to keep the noodles simple, the ingredients inside were plentiful, including a halved braised egg, vegetables, meat, and sweet and sour golden crispy radish...

Jiang You finished eating quickly and said he wanted more.

Watching her eat like this, Su Qingbai shook her head: "No, sister, you can't eat too much at night."

But she couldn't resist her fussing, so Xiaobai reluctantly served her a small bowl.

After Jiang You finished eating, Xiao Bai urged him to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Good sister," Xiaobai praised without reservation.

Jiang You: "..."

Why do I feel like I'm being raised like a daughter?

The two came out of the bathroom. Su Qingbai squatted down to wipe the table, then pulled over her schoolbag and took out books: "Sister, I still have homework to do. If you're bored, you can play on the computer, and you can read any of the comics in the cabinet."

“Oh, right,” he suddenly looked up, took out his phone and handed it to her, laughing, “I’ll take you to buy a new one this weekend. If you want to play with my phone now, the password is four 6s.”

Jiang You subconsciously took it, and Su Qingbai let go of his hand and lowered her head to start doing her homework.

She curled her fingertips slightly, looked down at her phone, stared blankly for a moment, and then turned it on.

The screensaver shows a group photo of the six people. They are wearing sports uniforms, some are holding volleyballs, some have their arms around each other, and Su Qingbai is standing in the center, smiling brightly and holding a trophy.

Sunlight fell on his sweat-dampened hair, refracting into tiny dappled patterns. Confidence and elation mingled in his eyes, and his unusual, flamboyant energy was like a tree growing wildly in the light, vigorous and dazzling.

Jiang You stared at it for a long time, ignoring the slight flutter in her heart. She unlocked the app, clicked on it, and stared at the software icon, unable to make a move for a moment.

Her eyes were filled with confusion.

What can she do with the phone? It seems like she can't contact anyone, and she doesn't dare to.

Isn't this kind of life good? As long as her superpowers don't disappear, Xiaobai is willing to take care of her for the rest of her life. If her superpowers disappear, she can come out.

Jiang You remained silent for a few seconds, then turned off his phone screen and looked at Xiao Bai.

He was engrossed in doing his homework, his usually energetic face now quiet. His long eyelashes cast soft shadows under his eyes, and his skin was a pale, cool white. Although he wasn't as delicate and beautiful as Xia Yan and the others, he was clean-cut and full of youthful energy, making him easy to like.

She suddenly became curious about what homework Xiaobai was doing. She went closer and saw that the book was written in large letters: Senior Three Math Workbook.

Is it because it's autumn now that Xiaobai is already in his senior year of high school?

Su Qingbai finished very quickly, basically one multiple-choice question every two minutes and one long-answer question every five minutes.

Jiang You, tormented by mathematics, questioned his existence. Mathematics is something that you either don't know or you don't know; it's not something you can understand just by trying.

At this moment, Su Qingbai finished writing a book, saw her, sweetly called her "sister," and then lowered her head to switch to writing physics.

Jiang You, disbelieving, picked up the Xiaobai math workbook and searched for the answers on his phone.

They're all correct!

So, not only is Xiaobai athletic, but he's also a top student?!

Then what kind of person is she who is mentally challenged and has poor motor skills?

That's not fair!

Jiang You stared blankly at the sound of laughter. She turned her head and saw Su Qingbai propping his cheek up, his long fingers lazily twirling a pen as he smiled at her.

She asked in confusion, "W-what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just thought my sister's expression just now was... cute."

He lowered his head shyly after speaking, his pen moving across the paper as he wrote formulas. "By the way, sister, what were you thinking about just now?"

Jiang You spoke frankly: "I was thinking, 'You're really amazing. When I was in my senior year of high school...'"

She paused as she spoke, and saw Xiaobai raise his head, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at her, as if he really wanted to know about her past.

“It’s very ordinary,” she said.

The boy was still eager to say something more, but she didn't want to talk anymore. She said, "I'm sleepy," and went to bed.

Jiang You, lying on the bed, felt a little irritated as she could sense his waning gaze. She didn't want her meal ticket to be unhappy, but she also didn't want to talk about her past.

At this moment, Su Qingbai walked over, picked up a rope, and tied the two ends in opposite directions.

He then pulled another sheet out of the box and hung it on the rope.

A simple curtain was made and placed between the bed and the floor mat.

He neither asked nor spoke, but simply tilted his head slightly, met her gaze, and said with a gentle smile, "Goodnight, sister."

"Goodnight, Xiaobai."

He lowered the curtain, and the lights outside dimmed. Jiang You stared blankly at the ceiling in the private space that had been separated from him.
