"Shen Beitang, it seems you are still as cheap as the rumors say. Shan Chengming is already engaged, and you are still keeping yourself chaste for him."
The leader was Zhang Shuo, who had been the most sycophantic earlier. He thought that by bringing up Shan Chengming, he could exploit Shen Beitang's weakness.
He was eagerly anticipating Shen Beitang's defeated expression, then he stepped forward to comfort him and successfully took his place.
Shen Beitang was speechless. Wasn't the school supposed to be the most innocent place?
I thought that coming here to study would keep me away from all this backstabbing and infighting, but I never expected that I still couldn't escape it.
"I'm cheap, but I still look down on you. Does that mean you're even cheaper?"
Shen Beitang slung her bag over her shoulder and poked Zhang Shuo with her hand.
"Please make way, sycophants shouldn't block the way."
Before Zhang Shuo could even bark, Shen Beitang had already vanished without a trace.
——
Shen Beitang ran so fast all for a bite to eat. In the morning, due to an accident, he didn't even get to eat a single bite of the perfectly good wontons.
It's all that man's fault. When I see him again, I'm going to give him a good beating.
There are two things in the world that are easiest to find.
One is the toilet, and the other is the restaurant; you can just smell it.
Following the aroma, Shen Beitang found the best-tasting restaurant and stopped at its entrance.
"This is the one."
Looking at the dazzling array of menus, Shen Beitang found it hard to choose. "I want to eat the Chinese sausage claypot rice, but the teriyaki chicken cutlet looks good too."
"If I were you, I would want both."
A male voice sounded behind her. Shen Beitang turned around and bumped right into the man's chest.
The man looked familiar, with a high nose and deep-set eyes, but I couldn't quite place him.
"elder sister."
Su Yi'an called out obediently.
"oh--"
Shen Beitang remembered that it was the boy she had saved in the alley that morning, and the German Shepherd that prevented her from eating wontons.
Are your injuries alright?
Shen Beitang treated the boy like a younger brother and took him around to look at him.
Su Yi'an had already changed her clothes, and there was no trace of fighting.
Su Yi'an playfully raised his arm, showing off his biceps, "Don't worry, sister, I'm in great shape."
"Boss, two servings of Chinese sausage claypot rice, and two servings of teriyaki chicken cutlet."
"Can you finish it?"
Su Yi'an looked at the petite girl opposite her and was surprised that someone so pretty could eat so much.
Shen Beitang gave him a strange look and touched his curly hair.
"Didn't you say they were all delicious? Besides, the other one is for you, little brother."
Su Yi'an subconsciously touched the spot that Shen Beitang had just ravaged. No one had ever touched her like that before.
The area I was touched just now feels tingly, and... it's kind of addictive.
"Sit down, do you expect me, as your older sister, to invite you?"
When faced with someone younger than herself, Shen Beitang would take the initiative to take care of them, distributing all the food and utensils neatly in front of Su Yi'an.
"You recommended this to me, if it's not good, I'll..."
Shen Beitang opened his mouth wide and made a ferocious, man-eating gesture.
"I'll eat you then."
"Sister, you're really scary."
Su Yi'an patted his chest with his obviously strong arm, but what he said was in stark contrast to his physique.
Shen Beitang wondered if she had been meddling in other people's business. The man seemed very resilient and should have no problem dealing with those thugs.
"To be honest, did you think I was meddling this morning?"
Su Yi'an stroked his chin thoughtfully. Originally, he wanted to break the ribs of those thugs and keep them bedridden for ten days or half a month.
Just as we were figuring out which unlucky guy to target, this unexpected character appeared.
He could crush the plastic chair he was carrying with one hand. What's the difference between that and taking a doll to war?
"No way, sister. I just look strong. If it weren't for you this morning, I probably would be lying in the hospital."
"My name is Su Yi'an, what's yours, sister?"
Shen Beitang glanced at the boy, who did not seem to be lying, and then gave her name.
"Shen Beitang".
Shen Beitang tried hard to recall if there was a character named "Su Yi'an" in the book.
But I have no recollection of him at all. Logically, that shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't such a handsome young man be the female lead's devoted admirer?
Su Yi'an didn't expect that Shen Beitang, who looked so petite, could eat so much; she finished both bowls of rice noodles completely.
It seems that this small body contains boundless energy.
"Since you're at Anhui University, what year are you in?"
Su Yi'an wasn't wearing her student ID, and her major and age couldn't be guessed from her appearance.
"What year are you in? Do I look that young? I'm a first-year graduate student this year."
“I’m a second-year graduate student today, so you’re right to call me ‘sister’.” Shen Beitang generously pulled out her student card to pay the bill.
"It's fate that we met, I'll protect you from now on."
"Well, I'll be relying entirely on my sister at school from now on."
As Su Yi'an spoke, she subtly took Shen Beitang's hand in hers.
She was suddenly grabbed by a boy, and it was a boy she had just met.
Shen Beitang felt somewhat uncomfortable, wondering if Su Yi'an was being too frivolous. Did he act like this with every girl he met?
Shen Beitang moved his hand somewhat awkwardly, trying to pull it out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sister, I got too excited just now. You're not angry, are you?"
Su Yi'an released her hand with a face full of apology, looking at Shen Beitang cautiously like a puppy that had done something wrong.
"fine."
Shen Beitang blurted out, even feeling a little guilty. His junior was just a little excited, and his reaction must have hurt him.
Su Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're not angry, sister. I'm all alone in Anshi and I don't have any friends, so... If you find me annoying, I'll leave right away."
He then actually got up, as if to leave.
"It's nothing, Xiao An. I just... had an itchy hand and wanted to scratch it."
Shen Beitang felt deeply ashamed. She had just used such filthy thoughts to speculate about the pure heart of a young man!
She is guilty!
"Sister, I'm just glad you don't mind."
Children's moods can change in an instant; one minute they're in a bad mood, and the next they're laughing more happily than anyone else.
"Sister, I'm going to class now. This is my phone number."
Su Yi'an held Shen Beitang's palm in her hand, using her index finger as a pen, her fingertip rubbing against Shen Beitang's palm, making it itchy.
How long will it take to write this? But those numbers are still imprinted in my mind.
In the last second before Shen Beitang could no longer bear it, the sensation in his palm disappeared.
"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't bring a pen." Su Yi'an paused, then held out her hand apologetically, looking at Shen Beitang expectantly.
"Can I have your phone number, sister?"
Shen Beitang realized that the other party also wanted her to write the number on her hand, and couldn't help but sigh that college students were really clear-headed and innocent.
