Chapter 62 Sima Zhao's Ambition
As if by telepathy, Su Nian and Zhang Qiuyan had just finished packing when Si Yan called, "Are you done packing?"
"You must have clairvoyance, we just finished it." Su Nian said with a smile.
"Mrs. Si, what are your plans for the afternoon? Do you have any classes?" Si Yan asked.
"You don't have to miss the afternoon elective class. What about you?"
"I don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll pick you up now. We'll see you later."
Su Nian sent a text message to tell him the location of the dormitory.
Zhang Qiuyan, who was standing nearby, patted the large cardboard box at her feet and said cheerfully, "Just stay here and I'll take care of all the moving!"
Liu Ying, who was lying on the bed diagonally opposite, was browsing her phone. She glanced at them out of the corner of her eye. When she heard what Zhang Qiuyan said, she curled her lips in disdain. Is it really necessary to do such hard labor?
Zhou Xiaomeng, who was sitting by the window, was talking in a coquettish voice to the phone. Her deliberately sweet voice, "Oh~ I don't want it~ It's annoying~", gave people goosebumps. Su Nian couldn't help but frown.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine University where Si Yan teaches is only two stops away from the Fashion College of Jiangcheng University. Within ten minutes, Su Nian's phone rang.
She stood up and tried to pick up the canvas bag at her feet, but Zhang Qiuyan held her down: "Don't move! You can't move things now. Don't you have the patience?" As she said that, she snatched the bag and went downstairs first.
Su Nian followed behind, and just as she reached the shade of the sycamore tree under the dormitory building, she saw Si Yan standing under the street light.
He wore a simple white shirt with his sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing his forearms with neat and smooth lines. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell on his shoulders, making his profile gentle and clear.
Seeing them coming, he quickly stepped forward and naturally took the bag from Zhang Qiuyan's hand, his tone full of gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, Qiuyan."
"There's also a big box full of books. It's a bit heavy." Zhang Qiuyan pointed upstairs.
Si Yan nodded, turned and walked towards the dormitory management office.
Su Nian watched from afar and saw him bow slightly. He didn't know what he said to the dormitory manager. The aunt who usually strictly guarded against boys entering the building was now smiling with her eyes curved and nodded repeatedly.
He quickly walked back and explained, "Tell Auntie, I'm your family, go up and move the boxes."
Afraid that it would be too tiring to go up to the fourth floor, Su Nian was left downstairs by Si Yan to wait, and Zhang Qiuyan led him upstairs.
Zhou Xiaomeng had just opened the dormitory door and hung up the phone. She looked up and saw the man at the door. She was stunned and the phone in her hand fell on the table with a "click" - isn't this man too handsome?
Liu Ying was casually swiping her phone, but when she caught a glimpse of the figure in the white shirt out of the corner of her eye, her fingertips suddenly stopped.
The man in front of me was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He had a high nose bridge, and his eyes behind his thin black-framed glasses were deep and bright, as if hiding endless tenderness.
Zhou Xiaomeng reacted and immediately stood up, fixed her hair, put on a sweet smile, and asked in a sweet voice, "Handsome man, who are you looking for?"
Liu Ying also quickly put down her phone, her voice softening eight degrees: "Qiuyan, who is this?"
"Su Nian's...family." Zhang Qiuyan repeated Si Yan's words.
But in his heart he thought that it was not good. Look at the lustful eyes of these two guys, they were just like hungry wolves hunting for prey.
Si Yan didn't even glance at them. His gaze fell directly on the cardboard box in the corner. He asked Zhang Qiuyan, "Is this it?"
Zhang Qiuyan nodded quickly and squatted down to help him loosen the tape on the corner of the box. "It's full of books, so it's a bit heavy. Thank you for your hard work."
He bent down to test the weight. Just as his fingertips touched the edge of the carton, Liu Ying's deliberately soft voice came from behind him. It was so sweet that it was sickening: "Handsome boy, you are Su Nian's brother, right? This box looks heavy. Let me help you lift it?"
"No, thank you." Si Yan's voice was polite but distant, and he didn't even turn his head.
He clasped both sides of the cardboard box with his hands, exerted a little force with his arms, and lifted the heavy box steadily.
His physical strength was truly remarkable, he didn't even waver while carrying such a heavy object. When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the large bag beside him and said to Zhang Qiuyan, "I'll take it down first, and then come back up to get this."
"No need to come up, I can do this." Zhang Qiuyan looked at the shining eyes of Liu Ying and Zhou Xiaomeng. She knew that Su Nian's man was being coveted by others. She was afraid that they would make another move, so she quickly picked up her bag and wanted to leave.
Liu Ying wasn't willing to miss the opportunity and immediately stepped forward, pretending to be enthusiastic: "Qiuyan, is there anything else you want to move? We're here to help you."
"That's right, we're all in the same dormitory, so why be polite?" Zhou Xiaomeng also stood up and smoothed her hair.
Zhang Qiuyan sneered inwardly: These two are so fake, who are they doing this for? No one asked for help just now, but now that they see a handsome guy, they... It's really Sima Zhao's intention, as obvious as a whistle.
Just as she was about to say no, Liu Ying quickly pulled out an unknown object from her bag, and Zhou Xiaomeng also grabbed a small canvas bag. The two of them hurriedly followed their boss Yan out, their eyes glued to his tall back, wishing they could burn two holes in it.
When going downstairs, Liu Ying deliberately quickened her pace, trying to walk side by side with Si Yan, muttering, "Handsome boy, where do you work? Why haven't I seen you here in the past few years since Su Nian went to school..." But Si Yan acted as if he didn't hear her, and walked downstairs steadily and quickly, without even glancing at her.
When they got downstairs, Su Nian was standing in the shade of a tree, looking at the stairs. Seeing Si Yan coming out with a box, she hurried over to him, "It's heavy, isn't it?"
Si Yan gently placed the box on the ground, reached out and ruffled her hair, the smile in his eyes so gentle it could overflow, "It's not sinking, don't worry."
While they were going upstairs, Su Nian had already borrowed a small cart from the dormitory manager, which was just enough to put the boxes and bags on.
Liu Ying and Zhou Xiaomeng were watching eagerly. Liu Ying rolled her eyes and came over with a smile, "Su Nian, this box is so big, it's hard to put it steadily on the cart. Let us help you lift it onto the cart." Zhou Xiaomeng also agreed.
Si Yan glanced at them, said nothing, and just put the box on the cart.
At this moment, Liu Ying suddenly staggered and threw herself on Si Yan, crying "Oh!" - her acting was even more exaggerated than the melodramatic scenes in TV dramas.
Si Yan dodged to the side quickly, and Liu Ying missed everything and almost had a close contact with Mother Earth. She looked as embarrassed as a turtle that had turned over its shell.
Zhang Qiuyan frowned and said coldly, "Liu Ying, walk carefully." Liu Ying stood up awkwardly, her face flushed.
After putting everything away, Zhang Qiuyan patted Su Nian's arm and said, "Let's go quickly. I have to return the cart before going to class."
Liu Ying and Zhou Xiaomeng looked at their departing backs, their faces filled with resentment.
Zhou Xiaomeng muttered, "What's so great about that?"
Liu Ying glared fiercely in the direction they left, turned around and went back to the dormitory angrily - probably to practice her falling posture in front of the mirror.
Si Yan pushed the car all the way to the school gate and parked it in the parking space at the school gate.
Su Nian recalled the dormitory manager's attitude just now and couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, why are you so easy to talk to today? Normally, it would be difficult for boys to even enter the building."
Si Yan turned his head to look at her, the sunlight falling into his eyes, shattering into tiny starlights: "Maybe it's for the sake of 'family'."
He paused, his tone carrying a subtle seriousness. "Next time you move things, be sure to tell me. Don't tire Qiuyan out, and don't try to be stubborn. Do you understand?"
Su Nian nodded obediently, and her heart felt warm as if it was soaked in warm water.
