She sold stationery under his name, and although she didn't explicitly mention his name, it wasn't hard to spot the clues upon closer inspection; he just didn't have any concrete evidence.
It was truly unexpected that he had misjudged Chi Chan, who seemed perfectly normal on ordinary days, had actually been quietly plotting something big all along.
A surge of anger, a feeling of being taken advantage of, rose within him; Ji Siyuan had always despised those who took shortcuts.
However, he still considered Chi Chan's feelings and did not expose Chi Chan in front of the whole class.
Unexpectedly, Chi Chan was ungrateful and pretended to be stupid in front of him. Without any evidence, Ji Siyuan was furious, but in the end he could not do anything to Chi Chan.
However, this deterrent was effective; the "genius" series was removed from bookstore shelves.
After this experience, Ji Siyuan realized that Chi Chan was the most shameless person he had ever met.
Just a few days ago, the two of them had a complete falling out over the "genius" series of stationery.
Now, Chi Chan can shamelessly pretend nothing happened and come to confront him, and even apologize to him!
How can he be completely without any reservations? He certainly can't.
Ji Siyuan refused to accept Chi Chan's apology.
Their relationship, which had never improved, plummeted to a freezing point.
——
The new homeroom teacher suggested one-on-one tutoring with classmates. Ji Siyuan felt Chi Chan's furtive gaze directed at him, but he pretended not to notice.
He didn't want to tutor the shameless one, and Chi Chan was quite diligent in her studies, so she should be able to meet the new homeroom teacher's requirements by the end of the semester.
Ji Siyuan focused on doing his own thing.
However, when the midterm exam results came out, Ji Siyuan had miscalculated.
Chi Chan is such a disappointment, his progress is so slow. Just thinking about the punishment of cleaning the toilets made Ji Siyuan feel uncomfortable all over.
However, after seeing this result, Chi Chan herself was not worried at all, and even lost some of her motivation to work hard.
Ji Siyuan finally couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
However, Chi Chan, despite saying he was anxious, didn't show any signs of it in his actions.
Between cleaning toilets and tutoring the annoying Chi Chan, Ji Siyuan chose the less unpleasant option: tutoring Chi Chan.
Fortunately, Chi Chan knew what was important and understood that the priority was to study, not to argue with him. As for her overall study efficiency and speed, well, in Ji Siyuan's opinion, she could barely pass!
Chi Chan's diligent and hardworking demeanor was completely different from her previous sharp-tongued and pretentious self. Ji Siyuan thought that the diligent and hardworking Chi Chan was much more pleasing to the eye.
I hope that in the future I won't keep thinking about doing things that are not worth doing.
A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way!
Not long after Ji Siyuan reached this conclusion, Chi Chan caused him more trouble.
Since he started tutoring Chi Chan, Ji Siyuan's opinion of Chi Chan has indeed changed somewhat.
But when the story of sending love letters under someone else's name came out, Ji Siyuan was a little confused. Was the Chi Chan who was good at disguising herself now her true personality, or was the Chi Chan who was diligent and hardworking during her tutoring period her true personality?
Regardless of which aspect reflects Chi Chan's personality, Ji Siyuan harbors a sense of anger, feeling like he misjudged her and was betrayed.
On the spot, he threw all the self-restraint he had cultivated over the past ten years to the back of his mind. He had never met anyone who could say one thing to your face and another behind your back.
This argument was different from the last one; it happened in front of the whole class and led to a 'serious' consequence.
Rumors about his relationship with Chi Chan began to circulate throughout the school.
Ji Siyuan disliked others tying him and Chi Chan together.
But it wasn't long before he realized the benefits of being tied to Chi Chan; almost no one was sending him love letters in private anymore.
Because the whole class tacitly accepted that he and Chi Chan were dating, the entire class united as one and took the initiative to monitor the love letters being handed to him. Before Ji Siyuan could deal with the love letters, the enthusiastic classmates had already taken care of the problem at its source.
Ji Siyuan suddenly felt that his surroundings were much quieter.
Moreover, after arguing with Chi Chan, even someone as clever as Ji Siyuan realized that while the argument might have been a momentary surge of anger, upon calming down and thinking about it later, he realized that this was not Chi Chan's handwriting. Given Chi Chan's thick skin, she would never have thought of such an obviously disgusting way to confess her feelings.
But whether or not Chi Chan did it, what does it matter!
Ji Siyuan thought that since Chi Chan had made a fortune using his name, it was only a matter of reciprocity for him to use Chi Chan's name to enjoy some peace and quiet now.
Little did I expect that my public argument with Chi Chan would trigger a series of butterfly effects.
He signed up for the two doubles events that were left over from the sports meet with Chi Chan, and Ji Siyuan really saw a different side of Chi Chan.
In his studies, Chi Chan is meticulous, focused, and eager to learn; in his life, Chi Chan is shameless and greedy; in sports, Chi Chan has virtually no athletic talent.
Despite his best efforts in training Chi Chan, the results of the sports meet were hard for him to accept.
From childhood to adulthood, most things have been as simple as eating and drinking for Ji Siyuan. A small portion of things are slightly more difficult, but this is exactly what Ji Siyuan likes. Things that are too easy don't give him a sense of accomplishment, while a little challenge is what makes him feel valued.
But for Ji Siyuan, all of these things, whether they were challenging or not, ultimately had only one outcome: 'first place'.
As a result, teaming up with Chi Chan made him experience for the first time in his life what it felt like not to be number one.
Although Ji Siyuan found it hard to accept, he still felt it was a very novel experience.
He thought that always winning was too boring, and losing once in a while was not bad.
After the sports meet, Ji Siyuan and Chi Chan made their relationship clear. In the days after high school, Chi Chan stood in front of Ji Siyuan to block those boring love letters for him, but on the condition that he would tutor Chi Chan.
Ji Siyuan agreed. Compared to learning, which was easy, Ji Siyuan disliked girls who lacked a sense of propriety even more.
Ji Siyuan even found these girls' thoughts strange, and their liking for him was also inexplicable.
Physical appearance is the most unreliable thing. Youth fades and beauty withers. If you fall in love with someone simply because of their face, then such a superficial affection is better left unfulfilled.
Ji Siyuan shouldn't have such a superficial liking. However, if you really ask him what kind of love he wants in the future, Ji Siyuan can't say for sure, because he hasn't thought about it.
For Ji Siyuan, life was monotonous and meaningless, with nothing and no one to look forward to, only boredom.
The world is full of all kinds of people, demons, monsters, and ghosts, but he seems to stand outside the world, observing it all with a cold eye.
Chi Chan ridiculously regarded his view as a lack of understanding of love.
