The homeroom teacher rushed over. The white man didn't even glance at Bao Huiyi, but went straight to apologize to Shi Youxi, saying that the academy would definitely give Shi Youxi a fair resolution. He then pulled the still-shouting Bao Huiyi to the infirmary.
After Mu Yiran had fully played the role of a parent, Shi Youxi didn't want the school doctor to examine him, so she could only quickly take him back to the Shi family home.
Only then did Mu Yiran notice Guan Shiyan, who had been hiding behind Shi Youxi.
The boy was a little taller than Shi Youxi, and he didn't have the same unapproachable aura as Shi Youxi.
If Shi Youxi is the type who is handsome and aware of it, then Guan Shiyan is the type who is handsome but unaware of it.
“Excuse me, are you okay?” Mu Yiran asked, bending down.
Guan Shiyan bowed slightly. "I'm fine, thank you, sister."
Mu Yiran: "Aha." Another fellow villager.
Mu Yiran likes all pretty children, especially since this is the first child her age to appear next to Shi Youxi. Shi Youxi had just been protecting him, so she naturally assumed that the two were friends.
Mu Yiran was relieved to find that Shi Youxi actually had a friend. Her parental instincts kicked in again, and she wanted to check if the boy was injured, but Shi Youxi stopped her.
Shi Youxi blocked Mu Yiran's view, pointing the stick at Guan Shiyan, "You can leave now. Also, you're not allowed to call me 'sister'."
Only he can call her "sister".
Guan Shiyan didn't know why he was following Shi Youxi, but he was very grateful that Shi Youxi had just saved him.
Young Master Shi is different from others. He doesn't look down on him just because he is an illegitimate child. Guan Shiyan thinks Shi Youxi is a very good person.
"I... I want to go home too. I didn't follow you on purpose."
Guan Shiyan wanted to say goodbye to Mu Yiran before leaving, but Shi Youxi wouldn't let him. He could only bow, wave, and turn to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Shi Youxi called out to Guan Shiyan, who had run a few steps away, and beckoned him with her hand. Guan Shiyan immediately jogged back.
"It's not you, where's my candy?"
Mu Yiran cast an admiring glance at Shi Youxi. Not bad, the kid in the family has learned to sneak snacks to school now. It seems that her education over the past month has been quite effective.
"Oh, I'm sorry, do you like it? I'll bring you more from now on."
Guan Shiyan excitedly gave Shi Youxi a whole box of cheese candies from his schoolbag. He felt that this was the first step for him and Shi Youxi to become friends: exchanging snacks.
This is the first step to becoming Shi Youxi's henchman—collecting protection money, huh?!
Mu Yiran never expected that Shi Youxi would have already gained a follower on the very first day.
Is Shi Youxi so outstanding because it's his first time receiving compulsory education?
Shi Youxi possessed the basic qualities of an older brother, taking all the candy without changing his expression, and said, "We'll talk about it next time, you can go now."
The whole process was so fast that Mu Yiran didn't even have time to react before she saw Guan Shiyan take a shortcut and run away.
Mu Yiran: "..."
"Let's go back and let the doctor examine you." This guy is precious; he only lets the family doctor touch him.
The hottest part of the day had passed, but the sun was still blazing. The flower sprinklers at Ace Academy started working, even more efficient than cicadas. Mu Yiran unfolded the plaid headband she was wearing and made a makeshift facekini.
Mu Yiran saw Shi Youxi's handsome face getting wet from the shower. This kid didn't seem to realize he'd catch a cold if he got wet, yet he was enjoying it.
She pulled the boy to the flower bed next to her, saying, "Come this way, don't catch a cold."
Shi Youxi stood on the steps of the flower bed, half a head taller than Mu Yiran. He suddenly understood why his sister liked to touch his head, and he really wanted to touch his sister's head now.
Shi Youxi's hands were itching to touch me, but Mu Yiran noticed it keenly. "Your hands are sticky, don't touch me!"
Shi Youxi turned the tables and said, "Didn't my sister buy it for me?"
Mu Yiran: So I deserved it?
But Shi Youxi was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted. Mu Yiran wouldn't leave until he let her touch her, so Shi Youxi simply put his hand under the showerhead to wash it.
He thought the water was dirty, but the thought of being able to touch Mu Yiran's head made him hold back. When the water touched the wound on his hand, a long-lost tingling and stinging pain came over him.
Shi Youxi suddenly remembered when Mu Yiran applied the medicine to him, and let out a soft "Ah".
Shi Youxi held out her injured right hand to Mu Yiran, "Sister, my hand hurts."
Mu Yiran took out a handkerchief and quickly dried his hand. Seeing the slightly red wound on it, she lowered her head and breathed on the small wound.
It's numb and painful...
His blood seemed to boil instantly, warming his body.
So comfortable...
Mu Yiran blew on the boy's hand and felt it trembling. She thought that his wound had cut into his flesh and was hurting so much. But when she looked up, she saw that the boy had his eyebrows curved and was smiling happily.
Mu Yiran: "...Young Master, are you kidding me?"
"pain?"
Shi Youxi looked at the girl's gritted teeth and felt even more emotional. He could always sense all sorts of emotions on his sister's face. "Yes, it hurts a lot."
Mu Yiran looked at his grin that stretched to his temples, smiled faintly, and then lowered her head to bite his finger. "That way the wound won't hurt anymore. Use pain to stop pain!"
She bit down a little harder, retaliating against the boy's habit of biting her, leaving a red mark on his slender fingers.
Using pain to relieve pain...
Shi Youxi rubbed his fingers together; they were flushed and red from the heat.
But why doesn't he feel pain, but instead feels...pleasant?
He realized for the first time that pain could also bring happiness.
Mu Yiran felt like a primary school student, arguing with Shi Youxi for no reason, even though she knew he had an extraordinary way of thinking.
Standing next to such dense vegetation makes you most likely to get bitten by insects. Mu Yiran picked up a bump on her hand, which was very itchy. "Let's go, there are a lot of mosquitoes here."
The next second, the boy lifted her hand, and a wet, warm touch came into contact with the bite mark on her skin. The boy's sharp canine teeth pierced her flesh, and the pain relieved the itch.
Summer insects chirped, and dappled sunlight fell intermittently on the boy's fair profile.
Shi Youxi, having satisfied his craving, let go, looked up, and laughed at the astonished Mu Yiran.
"That will stop itching for you, sister."
"This is called—using pain to relieve itching."
