Chapter 7
Shen Huaixin stared at "Don't be sad" and thought for a long time, still unable to understand what he meant. Normally, shouldn't it be "Don't be sad, it's not good"? Why be sad if you already agreed?
However, she roughly understood Shen Chumo's thinking and knew that he could not fully understand the ways of the world, so she did not care too much.
Even if she is a future villain, she is still young and cannot resist the routine of office workers.
She used another mobile phone number to impersonate Su Zihan and gave him encouragement. The message was vague and ambiguous, allowing Shen Chumo to use his own divergent thinking and associate Su Zihan with Zihua's avatar and ID. In this way, if he really asked Su Zihan about this matter in the future, even if they didn't match, it would only be his wishful thinking and his thinking in the wrong direction.
If Shen Chumo only kept this matter in mind and did not explore the truth, it would also help him to have a potential good impression of Su Zihan, and his own vicious personality would not collapse. The more Shen Huaixin thought about it, the more he felt that he was full of the profound wisdom of a social person, and the system prompt sound came in time.

Chen Chumo: Friend, it would be best if you could take a photo of the questions you don’t know and give it to me one day in advance. I’m slow at solving them.
Of course, Shen Huaixin knew why they sent it to him in advance, because he was completely cheating, learning high school knowledge just for the sake of doing the questions. Being able to solve it the next day was considered a natural talent.
Shen Huaixin was not polite and took a few photos and sent them over: Thank you, Xueba.
She felt a little embarrassed looking at the last few blank questions, and symbolically declined: "Is it too difficult? If you don't know, forget it."
Shen Chumo: No, the questions you sent me are all logical and not difficult to solve.
Shen Huaixin thought about it and asked: Then what is illogical?
Shen Chumo: Chinese, reading comprehension.
Unexpected, but reasonable. Just as Shen Huaixin had guessed, he was still somewhat unfamiliar with human emotions and expressions, making him prone to misunderstandings.
Chen Huaixin: If you don't understand something, you can ask me. I may not understand it myself, but we can discuss it together. We are already friends.
Shen Chumo: There is indeed one thing I cannot understand.
Shen Chumo: This afternoon, I seemed to have made my sister angry, but I just sat in the living room, waiting for her to see me first when she came home.
“…”
Shen Huaixin was speechless for a long while, not knowing how to explain. She herself felt that her attack was illogical, so how could she explain it to Shen Chumo?
Shen Huaixin: Maybe she was wronged at school, scolded by the teacher, or something else happened? You don't have to dwell on it too much, it's not your fault. Also, you don't have to constantly reflect on what you didn't do well enough.
Shen Huaixin sighed: Maybe Shen Huaixin is just a bad person.
Shen Chumo: Thank you for your comfort, I don’t think she is.
Chen Huaixin: If she isn't, then no one is, you fool. Anyway, protect yourself and don't trust others easily—advice from a friend.
Shen Chumo looked at the text on the phone, which was familiar yet strange. It was the first time someone told him "we are friends", thanked him for his help, and said that he could talk to her if he had any problems.
He clicked on the photo with the questions, but it was completely blank, with only a symbolic "Solution:" written on it. He asked his tutor why, and the tutor replied that sometimes you can get some points when grading papers. It seems that she is well aware of this.
But...why do you call yourself a bad person?
Shen Chumo touched the screen and tilted his head in confusion. The handwriting of "Solution" and the light, plus the marks printed on the back of the exercise, were exactly the same as in yesterday's photo.
So, it shouldn't be that he made a mistake...
Did you add him with a different account because you were too embarrassed to apologize directly?
When his book was torn up and he was ridiculed, he did feel a mixture of emotions, something he had never experienced before. It was especially unpleasant when it occurred at a time when he was full of expectations.
It was a bit like having a pepper stuck in his head, making his head ache and steam, with a stinging pain like nails and fire everywhere. It was completely different from the taste of dessert, something he didn't like, but it seemed very familiar... It was as if he had felt it before he was born.
late at night.
Shen Chumo woke up from the chaos, the scene in his dream was vivid in his mind. He subconsciously curled up his fingers, and there was still pain on his fingertips, but it had gradually subsided. When he realized that the nails were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The goose down quilt was warm and comfortable, which was in stark contrast to the water-soaked scene in the dream.
He still remembered the cold clothes sticking to his body, as if they were entangled by something, and even his shadow had nowhere to hide, exposed to Shen Huaixin's disgusted and resistant gaze.
Her face was covered with heavy makeup, like a cold mask, with only her eyes exposed. When the corners of her lips curled up, there was undisguised curiosity and excitement, as if she was exploring the structure and principles of his body.
"Are you a monster?"
“…”
"Hey, silly lame, speak." With the buzzing of his head, sparks and white light flashed in front of his eyes. After being hit hard, he barely caught the second half of Shen Huaixin's words, "...Recovered."
What recovered? He propped up his head and followed her gaze. The blood that had spurted out earlier remained on the tip of his index finger, but the nail was intact. It was the first nail he had pulled out.
"monster."
She muttered to herself, her chest heaving violently, her tone sharp: "I...I'm going to tell Mom and Dad that you're a monster. You're not their son at all! You've deceived them all!"
"I'm not a monster," Shen Chumo curled his fingers, trying to avoid her gaze, "Sister, don't tell them..."
In her memory, the gentle and loving expression of Shen's mother rippled like water, became blurred for a moment, and gradually overlapped with Shen Huaixin's malicious pupils, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.
Shen Chumo felt panic for no reason.
"Please, don't tell Mom."
"Beg me?" Shen Huaixin raised the corner of her lips, revealing her white teeth. She smiled in disbelief, "This is the first time you've begged me."
The dream flashed back, like a long-forgotten memory, so real it was suffocating. Shen Chumo came back to his senses, looked at the quilt beneath him, spread his hands, turned them over, and carefully examined those slender, clean hands. They were brand new and healthy, unharmed, not even touched by a knife, and knew no pain.
Would Shen Huaixin in real life do such a thing?
She scolded him, glared at him, but never seemed to actually hurt him. Her attitude was fearful and aggressive, yet she often secretly cared for him. He had read online that siblings were like this, derogatory towards each other but also relying on each other, and some of her actions resonated with him.
But she doesn't recognize herself as her brother.
the next day.
Shen Huaixin has initially adapted to the rhythm of school. Although she has to get up early, it is still easier than going to work. When she saw Su Zihan walking in front, she knew that Qi Yi must have gone to buy breakfast for her, so he didn't walk with her.
Young couples in the ambiguous period are so cute. Shen Huaixin smiled like an auntie, and suddenly remembered something. She quickly took out her phone and took a picture of Su Zihan, freezing the back of the girl in school uniform in the morning sunshine on the phone screen. She didn't notice Qi Yi holding a piece of bread in the corner of the photo.
Unfortunately, the two were not together for long before two male protagonists joined their team. They then used their special powers to upgrade and fight monsters. Of course, the author's ultimate goal was to repair the damage after the battle. The surge of adrenaline and hormones gave many plots a thrilling double meaning.
She quickly typed a few words, attached a photo of Su Zihan, and imitated the tone of the heroine in her impression, and posted it on "Han's" circle of friends - "The sun is so bright, and today is also a day full of energy."
Too positive. To use a phrase from the original world, it is called "good things happening to others". If it were Shen Huaixin himself, he would just numbly think about the destruction of the world.
I didn't expect to receive a like right after I posted it. Needless to say, it was from Shen Chumo, because he was the only one added to this account. A few minutes later, a comment popped up: "Good morning."
Shen Chumo typed these two words for several minutes, and even remembered to add a period. He seemed very serious and rigorous. Shen Huaixin gave him a thumbs up, and a red heart lit up.
[Plot Deviation Value -1, Current Value 93. (Conclusion: If this continues, the collapse of the small world is imminent.)]
So easy to coax.
Shen Huaixin walked to the classroom, sat down, and was about to take out his homework book when he suddenly received a message on his phone. He looked down and saw that it was a few questions with answers written on them, which were taken very clearly.
...Shen Chumo wouldn't have stayed up all night and just studied the questions, right?
Shen Huaixin felt a little guilty, but for her at that moment, it was indeed timely news. She quickly spread out her homework book and copied it down at a rapid speed. In just a few minutes, she wrote down the answer, and then worked back based on the solution idea, feeling that she understood it.
After thinking about it again and again, when the homework was collected and morning reading began, Shen Huaixin was still thinking about the question in his mind.
"Sister Xin," Fang Xiaozheng came over as morning exercises began, reporting on last night's learning. "I read the book you recommended, 'Going on an Adventure with Lord Long.' It's interesting, but... we're just having a picnic, is this really useful?"
"Of course it's useful, why not?" Shen Huaixin said seriously, "Look, when you're having a picnic, you have to learn how to filter water, how to make a fire, and how to keep yourself safe."
Fang Xiaozheng pondered for a moment: "Water filter, lighter, mosquito repellent?"
"What to eat then?"
"Compressed biscuits and instant noodles?"
Shen Huaixin nodded: "That makes sense, you should prepare more, and you——"
She turned around, found the two friends who were eavesdropping, and said seriously, "Remember to prepare some storable food before the holiday. It would be bad if I didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes during the holiday, okay?"
Shen Huaixin knew Fang Xiaozheng's fate, but he was not sure about the situation of the two partners whose names were not even mentioned. It was likely that they were contaminated together.
Whether this would affect the plot or not, Shen Huaixin didn't know, but since the system hadn't issued a warning, he considered it a reasonable and non-ooc reminder. In short, do your best and leave the rest to fate.
At noon, the sun shone on her body, making her feel warm. Shen Huaixin looked up at the sky, which was the same blue and vast as her world. She suddenly felt an itch in her throat, as if a seed that had been covered in the soil for a long time was about to sprout.
Now that you're in a book, anything that's not your normal job is worth trying.
A boy sitting in the row behind Shen Huaixin happened to pass by and saw the girl's gentle, yet uncontrollable smile. She tilted her head slightly toward the sky, her slender neck like a free bird. The boy heard his heart skip a beat.
As a poor student in the eyes of his teachers, he loves everything except studying, especially surfing the Internet and playing games, and often hangs out in school forums.
Recently, in a corner where no one cares, posts about Shen Huaixin have quietly increased, and the discussion about the ownership of the school belle has surfaced again after a long period of silence.
Previously, according to the vote, Su Zihan won the crown with a huge advantage, but recently, the title of school beauty is in danger of changing hands. However, Shen Huaixin has always been notorious. Relying on her good family background, she looks down on everyone equally.
Therefore, controversies have arisen one after another. In addition to beauty, the voting for the school beauty should also include moral integrity, talent, and other good qualities.
