Zhang Shaochuan was slightly embarrassed, especially after seeing Qian Sui's burning gaze.
Zhang Shaochuan scratched his head awkwardly and changed the subject, saying, "That's all in the past. Let's just pretend we've gotten to know each other again."
Chisui responded with an "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Zhang Shaochuan crossed his arms, then rested his chin on them, looking at Qian Sui with a dreamy smile: "Newcomer, what's your name?"
"My name is Chitose."
"Pfft!" Zhang Shaochuan couldn't help but laugh, and asked in return, "Your Majesty?"
Only people with low self-esteem would doubt themselves because of others' ridicule. Clearly, Chitose has never known the meaning of the word "low self-esteem" since childhood.
Despite being laughed at, she said with certainty, "Yes, Qian Sui, Qian Sui of little Qian Sui."
Seeing how serious Qian Sui was, Zhang Shaochuan also became serious. He sat up straight and said to her, "Hello, my name is Wan Sui."
Qian Sui glanced at him and said, "This joke isn't funny."
Zhang Shaochuan: "..."
This little girl is really not easy to get along with.
Zhang Shaochuan stopped teasing her: "My name is Zhang Shaochuan, I'm a sophomore. I think you're quite pleasing to the eye. From now on, you can call me Big Brother, and I'll protect you."
Zhang Shaochuan realized that Shang Anqi and her group were targeting Qian Sui because they felt that Qian Sui's appearance threatened her status as the school beauty and campus goddess.
In this school, besides ability and grades, the most valued thing is a student's birth.
Shang Anqi's father is the president of the Shang Group, and her mother's family is also quite powerful, so she can practically do whatever she wants at school.
When Chisui first arrived, no one came to the school to help her. Judging from her appearance, although we know her clothes are well-made, she didn't have a single designer brand item. She also seemed very easy to talk to, like the kind of soft persimmon that people talk about.
Shang Anqi's actions were just the beginning. If no one protects Qian Sui, she will become increasingly outrageous until she drives away Qian Sui, who threatens her position.
Zhang Shaochuan had lived a hard life with his mother in his early years, and he couldn't stand people like Shang Anqi who bullied the weak just because they had some money. However, as a boy, it was somewhat dishonorable for him to mess with a girl, so even though he disliked Shang Anqi, he would only teach her a lesson when she offended him.
But Shang Anqi was very clever. She bullied the weak and feared the strong, only bullying those weaker than her and avoiding those stronger than her.
So Zhang Shaochuan thought that if he protected Qian Sui, and Shang Anqi provoked Qian Sui, he would have a reason to deal with Shang Anqi.
This satisfies his perverse tastes while also protecting the young prince from being protected—a win-win situation.
When he proposed the idea, he felt he wouldn't be rejected.
However, the thousand-year-old did not appreciate it.
"I don't want to."
The emperor's tone was resolute.
"Why?" Zhang Shaochuan asked, puzzled.
After taking a bite of meat and chewing it slowly, Qian Sui replied, "I have an older brother now."
Moreover, her older brother is very good, so she doesn't need to recognize anyone else as her older brother.
Zhang Shaochuan could somewhat accept this reason, and said, "You recognizing me as your elder brother doesn't conflict with your brothers at home. Look, if you recognize me as your elder brother, I can protect you, and you won't be bullied by Shang Anqi and the others."
Zhang Shaochuan was like a child trafficker luring children with candy, gradually offering conditions that were hard to refuse.
Anyone else would be overjoyed to be protected by someone like Zhang Shaochuan.
There were also some people in the school who gave Zhang Shaochuan a lot of benefits, which is why Zhang Shaochuan chose to take them as his underlings.
Zhang Shaochuan felt that Chisui would not refuse this situation.
But clearly, Chitose didn't follow the expected path again.
Being bullied?
Qian Sui felt that she had not been bullied. Besides, even if she had been bullied, she could have dealt with it by herself. Shang Anqi and her group were no match for her.
Therefore, when faced with Zhang Shaochuan's invitation, Qian Sui shook her head and said firmly, "No need."
This was the first time Zhang Shaochuan had been rejected, and as the school bully, he felt his reputation had been damaged.
His temper flared up instantly, and he slammed his hand on the table, yelling, "Hey! New guy, don't be ungrateful!"
His hammer blow startled not only Qian Sui, but also several classmates at the next table. After turning around and seeing Zhang Shaochuan's expression, they quickly grabbed their belongings and left, afraid of being accidentally injured.
But Qian Sui remained unfazed. Even after finishing the last piece of braised pork on her plate, she ignored Zhang Shaochuan's rage and looked up to ask, "Can I have another serving of braised pork?"
Zhang Shaochuan: "..."
The two looked into each other's eyes, and Qian Sui blinked her big, watery eyes, which were full of innocence.
Zhang Shaochuan conceded: "Fine."
Qian Sui then smiled and said, "You're so kind."
Zhang Shaochuan got up to buy her braised pork, which further confirmed Qian Sui's "whoever feeds me is my mother" mentality.
So Zhang Shaochuan bought two servings of braised pork. He put the braised pork on the table, but did not put it in front of Qian Sui.
Qian Sui was so hungry that her eyes were fixed on the roasted pork in front of Zhang Shaochuan.
Qian Sui's gaze was fixed on the braised pork, so Zhang Shaochuan picked it up and held it next to his face so that Qian Sui's gaze could be fixed on her face.
Zhang Shaochuan tempted her step by step: "How about this? From now on, if you follow me, I'll buy you meat to eat."
Chisui remembered the campus card her older brother had given her. Although she didn't have much of a concept of money, she knew that the amount on it should be enough to buy a lot of things, so she said, "My older brother has put a lot of money on my campus card, so I can buy things myself."
