Chapter 30: Are you out of your mind?
"I helped you, shouldn't you thank me?"
Tan Zhixu showed no sign of being a rogue; taking advantage of his superior position, he stared directly at Xu Yihuan.
Although Tan Zhixu's voice is very pleasant, it's so soothing to the core.
But Xu Yihuan was still startled, much to her dismay.
The phone shook in my hand as if it were burning hot, and then fell to the ground.
It was tossed back and forth a few times, like stir-frying vegetables.
In the end, it landed steadily in Xu Yihuan's palm.
Xu Yihuan looked up at Tan Zhixu.
After smacking his lips for a long time, he finally managed to utter only one sentence: "I won't thank you enough for such a great kindness."
Tan Zhixu couldn't help but tilt his head and laugh, though he was angry.
He thought he was shameless enough, but he never expected there would be someone even more shameless than him.
Tan Zhixu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering.
Her thin, crimson lips uttered a few words softly: "No, I want you to thank me."
Xu Yihuan was helpless.
After a few seconds of contemplation, I naturally put my phone away.
He was the first to stand up from the stone pier.
"Okay, let's go get some barbecue."
She was hungry too.
I didn't even have time to eat a few bites of rice at that lousy banquet.
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixu smiled, his eyes crinkling.
She obediently replied, "Okay."
She then followed half a step behind Xu Yihuan, keeping up closely with her step by step.
By the time I finished my late-night snack and got home, it was already past 10 p.m.
The living room lights were off, and it was completely silent.
Xu Yihuan opened the door in the dark.
As soon as the light was turned on.
Pei Yuli was sitting in the middle of the sofa, his dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his gaze was fixed on something unknown.
Seeing Xu Yihuan return.
Pei Yuli remained as gentle and polite as ever.
It's as if none of today's events ever happened.
Why is Huanhuan so late coming back?
"Did you go out with your classmates?"
Pei Yuli stared straight at Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan shuddered under his chilling gaze.
"What's it to you? Mind your own business."
After saying that, Xu Yihuan prepared to go upstairs.
"I've already asked Qingqing to find the bracelet. Don't be so stingy; we're all classmates."
Xu Yihuan paused, clearly interested in the topic.
"You retrieved it?"
As Xu Yihuan spoke, she turned and walked to Pei Yuli.
Pei Yuli felt a flicker of joy upon seeing Xu Yihuan's reaction.
He put his bandaged hand into his pocket.
He took out that familiar light purple crystal bracelet from inside.
He handed it to Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan reached out and took it.
I glanced at it and immediately burst out laughing.
Hey, it really is hers. I guess Wu Qingqing's work of picking up trash isn't easy.
However, she didn't really want such a worthless thing.
Pei Yuli saw Xu Yihuan's smiling face and assumed she was happy.
A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, and the next second he saw Xu Yihuan throw the bracelet into the trash can.
"What a pity, brother. This isn't worth much. If you had brought the broken amethyst, I might have considered keeping it."
Xu Yihuan smiled politely at Pei Yuli.
Then, without any hesitation, she turned and went upstairs.
Pei Yuli's smile, which hadn't been finalized, froze on his face.
Watching Xu Yihuan's departing figure.
I don't know how much time has passed.
A sigh came from the living room.
Oh well, in the end they were never meant to be siblings.
Within two seconds, Pei Yuli's face returned to its gentle yet indifferent expression.
A mock exam will be held on Wednesday.
By Tuesday afternoon, all the books in the school needed to be cleared out, including those for first and second-year high school students, who will also be working with third-year students for this exam.
Unfortunately, they didn't get a five-day holiday; instead, they had to take a weekend off.
But everyone was still happily packing their things because of the upcoming three-day holiday.
Xu Yihuan was loading the last pile of things onto the car.
He turned around and went back to the classroom to get his schoolbag.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a series of exclamations from the students at the entrance.
"Who's that? He's so handsome!"
"Who else could it be but Brother Wu Qingqing? He's already walking towards Wu Qingqing's seat, why are you still asking?"
"No, you mean Wu Qingqing has such an ordinary face that could be lost in a crowd, and then she has such a handsome older brother? Is that right, bro?"
"Um... what else could it be? It can't be someone's boyfriend, can it?"
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Xu Yihuan heard the bursts of discussion.
His brow furrowed unconsciously, and a vague sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
These words all seem to be talking about that one person.
Xu Yihuan didn't really want to go in, but her schoolbag was still in the classroom.
"Wang Ming can take these things back with you later, so don't bother with anything. Would you like to go out for dinner together?"
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring flowing over pebbles.
The next second, a soft, delicate female voice rang out.
"No need, Brother Yuli, I'll just go home and grab something to eat today. I have my exam tomorrow."
Wu Qingqing's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry.
She was forced by Pei Yuli to rummage through the trash cans.
Even after the bracelet was found, Pei Yuli ignored him.
Fortunately, I was careful and apologized to Xu Yihuan a couple of days ago, playing the victim.
Putting everything else aside, at least Pei Yuli saw it.
Sure enough, Pei Yuli soon came to ask if he needed help packing his things for today's exam.
Boys, don't they like girls who are a little weak? It always arouses their protective instincts.
"Hmm." Pei Yuli's voice was indifferent as he stood aside watching Wu Qingqing tidy up without offering any help.
His gaze was unsure where to land.
Since her argument with Pei Yuli, Xu Yihuan hasn't seen him at home for several days.
When her father asked about Pei Yuli, she simply said she didn't know.
I never expected to run into Pei Yuli here.
Xu Yihuan listened to their conversation, one sentence after another without interruption.
Waiting like this wasn't a solution, so Xu Yihuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the classroom.
Xu Yihuan didn't pay any attention to the two of them; she simply picked up her schoolbag and turned to leave.
Xu Yihuan lowered her eyes and remained expressionless.
But Wu Qingqing mistakenly thought that she was even more heartbroken.
After all, Pei Yuli was her biological brother.
He not only publicly slandered her at the banquet, but now he's even helping me move things.
Wu Qingqing's eyes were filled with smugness.
So what if Xu Yihuan is a rich girl?
The person she likes, her own brother, isn't he still completely devoted to her?
“Huanhuan.” Wu Qingqing was very happy.
"Brother Yuli, let's take Huanhuan's things with us too."
"After all, our home is right next door, so it will be quick, and it will save Huanhuan the trouble of moving back."
Pei Yuli was tall and elegant.
Hearing this, he gave Wu Qingqing an approving look.
He was right; Wu Qingqing was indeed kind.
That means we were thinking the same thing.
Pei Yuli cleared his throat.
His gaze fell on Xu Yihuan.
"Huanhuan, you should pack your things too. We'll take you all back together later."
Xu Yihuan looked at the two people who were singing in unison with disdain.
"Are you out of your mind? Don't I have my own driver? Why would I hitch a ride with you? Who do you think you are?"
