He Yunxiao originally thought that as long as he raised Fan Ziruo's favorability to 80, so that she wouldn't like Chu Fan, then he wouldn't have to go to the Fan residence, and he would have time to deal with the matter of Sister Jiang's redemption money, and everything would be fine.

In fact, he overlooked something extremely important.

Chu Chu would come to the Fan family study to attend classes in the morning, but he forgot to tell her that he wouldn't be coming.

After Fan Ziruo had the outline for her novel, she began to try writing it.

In the morning, she was writing when she suddenly heard the study door open.

At this time...

Fan Ziruo looked up with delight, but the person who opened the door was not the young master He she had been longing for, but Chu Xiaoxiao.

Fan Ziruo felt confused.

The young master always knocks on the door when he comes; how could it be him if he didn't knock this time?

"Miss Xiaoxiao."

Fan Ziru greeted him politely, but it was only a perfunctory smile, not a genuine one.

Chu Chu naturally didn't care about this woman who couldn't even kill a chicken. She opened the door, sat down, and began to close her eyes to rest, not wanting to say another word to Fan Ziruo.

About an hour later, as noon approached, Chu Chu still hadn't heard from He Yunxiao. She opened her eyes, looked at Fan Ziruo, and asked, "Where is He Yunxiao?"

Fan Ziruo put down her pen, seemingly very happy, and looked up at Chu Chu with a smile, saying, "Young Master said he won't be coming today."

"I'm not coming."

"Um."

Chu Chu said coldly, "I said it to you."

Fan Ziruo smiled and said, "Yes."

“You are happy.”

“Zi Ruo has been in a good mood since early morning.”

Her words were as cold as the dead of winter.

She looked at Fan Ziruo indifferently and said, "Because he told you in advance."

Fan Ziruo said, "That's one aspect."

With He Yunxiao not around, Chu Chu herself had no desire to stay here with Fan Ziruo. That woman was annoying; if she hadn't promised He Yunxiao to let her live until next summer, she would have died long ago.

Chu Chu stood up from her seat and said, "You and He Yunxiao have a very good relationship."

After spending the past few days together, Fan Ziruo had gained some understanding of Chu Xiaoxiao's "fickle" personality. Her tone of voice rarely fluctuated, even when she spoke in a rhetorical question. She didn't add any rhetorical flourishes to the end of sentences that should have been rhetorical; instead, she stated things as plainly as a declarative sentence.

So what she just said should have been a rhetorical question—you and He Yunxiao have a good relationship?

Fan Ziruo wasn't usually one to show off, but when she faced Chu Xiaoxiao and thought about how she could sit so close to He Yunxiao, she felt an urge to overpower her.

I just wanted to tell her: He Yunxiao is mine.

Fan Ziruo really wanted to say that He Yunxiao and I had already made a private engagement, and that he wanted to marry her.

But in the end, reason prevailed over her.

The young master has not yet come to propose marriage, and the father has not agreed yet; we must wait a little longer.

Fan Ziruo looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said calmly, "Young Master He and I are friends."

Hearing the word "friend" calmed Chu Chu's agitated heart considerably.

For a spoiled brat like He Yunxiao, "friends" are worthless. He even talks about brothers all the time, which makes friends seem even more worthless.

You and he are friends, but I am not friends with him.

Chu Chu didn't bother to explain to Fan Ziruo, snorted coldly, and left.

As soon as they stepped out of the study, Xiao Xiao, always eager for a good show, came out to cause trouble.

Xiao Xiao: Chu Chu, that woman is so annoying!

Xiao Xiao: Not only does she shamelessly look at her brother, but she also meddles in He Yunxiao's business.

Xiaoxiao: Why don't we just kill her? That would end it all.

Chu Chu: I promised him that I would let Fan Ziruo live until summer to see the lotus flowers.

Xiaoxiao: You agreed, but I didn't. I'll do it, and you can just watch.

Chu Chu: No. If you make a move and Fan Ziruo dies, I will have to break my promise.

Xiaoxiao: Don't you hate her? I'll take care of it then, you just pretend you didn't stop me. He Yunxiao likes you so much, he definitely won't blame you.

Chu Chu paused in her steps, her pretty face flushed slightly for a moment, but she recovered and continued walking.

Chu Chu: I don't need him to like me.

Xiao Xiao: ?

Is that the main point? Isn't the main point killing Fan Ziruo? Don't get the point wrong, Chuchu!

Xiao Xiao sighed.

Chu Chu has become increasingly dim-witted ever since she started liking He Yunxiao. Unlike me, Xiao Xiao, I've always been very smart, and even though I like my brother so much, it doesn't affect me at all.

Thinking of Chu Fan, Xiao Xiao remembered that she needed to discuss borrowing a body with Chu Chu.

Their plan was that Chu Chu would come when facing He Yunxiao, and Xiao Xiao would come at other times. Now, if Xiao Xiao wanted to see He Yunxiao, she had to borrow time from Chu Chu.

But Xiaoxiao also knew that Chuchu was very resistant to this and didn't want to lend her any time at all. She had told her many times before, but Chuchu wouldn't budge an inch.

They were currently on their way back to the living room from the study in the Fan family mansion, a rather boring time. Logically, this should be Xiao Xiao's turn to control the body, but it didn't matter who controlled it during this kind of boring time, so even if Chu Chu was controlling the body and walking, Xiao Xiao had no objection.

However, once they reached the living room and saw Chu Fan, it wasn't time to be bored. Xiao Xiao immediately took over the body.

Halfway there, Chuchu stopped and refused to move.

Chu Chu: Tell Chu Fan that you want to go to the street.

Xiao Xiao: Chu Chu, are you going to find He Yunxiao?

Chu Chu: I'm going to relax.

Xiao Xiao muttered: It's just going to find He Yunxiao.

Chu Chu: To relax.

This Chu Chu, even at this point, is still so stubborn!
