Xia Wan went back to the room with Yuanyuan, had dinner with her, and did her favorite puzzle with her.

Yuanyuan likes Xia Wan very much and even wants to hold her hand before going to bed.

Yuanyuan lay on the bed and asked reluctantly: "Sister, if I have a new mother in the future, will I not be able to see you anymore?"

Although Xia Wan didn't want to make the child sad, this was indeed the fact.

So Xia Wan said: "Yuanyuan's future mother will treat you better than I did."

Yuanyuan nodded, not quite understanding, but then said, "But I like my sister so much. She smells like my mom."

Xia Wan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect this to be the reason.

Xia Wan lowered her head and sniffed her shoulders. She could only smell a faint lemon scent, the scent of laundry detergent, so she asked: "Does Yuanyuan's mother also smell of lemon? Then the mother might be using the same laundry detergent as me."

Yuanyuan shook her head and said seriously: "It's not the smell of clothes, it's the smell of my body. It's not lemon, it's sweet, like peach perfume."

Xia Wan didn't quite understand: "What's the smell on your body?"

Yuanyuan took Xia Wan's hand, put her nose on her arm, sniffed it again, and said, "That's the smell."

Xia Wan raised her hand and smelled it again. She didn't feel anything, but she didn't continue to discuss this matter with the child.

But Yuanyuan asked again: "Sister, what should I do if I miss you in the future?"

Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Then I'll write down my phone number on a piece of paper. If Yuanyuan gets her new mother's consent, she can call me and I'll come to see you, okay?"

Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and she asked, "Is it really possible?"

Xia Wan said: "Of course."

Yuanyuan immediately climbed down from the bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and went to look for paper and pen.

Xia Wan wrote down her contact information on a piece of paper, and then saw Yuanyuan carefully fold the note and put it in the small pocket of her schoolbag.

Yuanyuan and Xia Wan made a pinky promise to go see her.

Xia Wan pursed her lips and asked, "Yuanyuan, can you tell me why you keep calling me sister?"

Yuanyuan lay on the bed and looked at her: "Because a sister is a sister."

As if realizing something, a distressed look appeared on her round face: "Did I do something wrong?"

Xia Wan shook her head, touched the little girl's hair, and said, "No, Yuanyuan is right. If Yuanyuan wants to call me sister, then call me sister."

Although Xia Wan said this, Yuanyuan still started to think about it.

At this moment, there was a sound of knocking on the window, accompanied by Wei Chiyan's shout: "Hey Xia Mu! Back to school!"

Yuanyuan instinctively held Xia Wan's hand.

Xia Wan immediately comforted her and said, "Don't pay attention to him. I'll tell you a bedtime story. I'll leave after Yuanyuan falls asleep."

Yuanyuan nodded obediently, then sat up from the bed, pointed at Wei Chiyan and shouted out the window: "You are a bad sister!"

Wei Chiyan standing outside the window: "???"

The boy was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself and asked: "You said I am a bad sister?"

Yuanyuan shouted: "Yes! The bad sister with white hair!"

Wei Chiyan: "???"

Xia Wan was amused by Wei Chiyan's expression. She felt that if the picture in front of her was a comic book, smoke would probably come out of his forehead.

So Xia Wan walked over, opened the window a little, and said, "You go first, and tell Jiang Yushi and Song Zhili that I will finish telling Yuanyuan a bedtime story before you leave. Don't bother with a child."

"Oh! Of course! I certainly won't bother with a child!" Wei Chiyan said, but then motioned Xia Wan to move aside, and then made a face at Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan looked a little scared, but under Xia Wan's encouraging gaze, she stood up and made a face at Wei Chiyan.

When Wei Chiyan was about to do it again, Xia Wan immediately drew the curtains to stop this childish game.

Even after Wei Chiyan walked away, he could still be heard complaining to Song Zhili: "Hey Song Zhili! Do you know what that little brat just did? She actually called me sister! Ridiculous! Except for Jiang Yushi, are we all sisters in her eyes? That's why she came out to play with us just now, right? I'm so mad!"

Song Zhili also coaxed him like a child, saying: "Don't be angry, Wei Chi, take a deep breath, yes, repeat."

The two people's voices gradually faded away. Xia Wan couldn't help laughing and closed the window tightly again.

Xia Wan turned around and smiled at Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan sat on the bed and said seriously: "I know my sister is my sister, but I can't call her my sister, right?"

She didn't understand why, but based on the teacher's previous reaction, she felt that she was wrong.

That’s why she is also called Sister Wei Chiyan, which is her way of “making up for her shortcomings”.

Xia Wan touched Yuanyuan's head and said, "Yes, Yuanyuan is really smart, but if Yuanyuan likes, I can secretly be Yuanyuan's sister."

"Okay!" Yuanyuan looked very happy.

Then Xia Wan asked, "Yuanyuan, what story do you want to hear?"

Yuanyuan thought about it carefully and said, "I want to listen to fairy tales. When I was a child, my mother often read stories written by Andersen to me."

So Xia Wan told Yuanyuan stories that she had actually heard many times and which were no longer suitable for her age.

But Xia Wan spoke very seriously, and Yuanyuan also listened very seriously.

After all, he was a child and fell sleepy quickly. After Xia Wan finished telling two stories, she could hear his steady breathing.

Xia Wan stood up, covered Yuanyuan with the quilt, and reached out to touch her face.

She hopes that the child in front of her can forget everything in the past and truly have a happy life.

On the way back to Shengyu.

Xia Wan asked a lot of questions about Yuanyuan, such as the family that would adopt her and the situation of the same-sex couple.

But this is private, and Jiang Yushi is not actually very clear about it. He only knows that the same-sex couple is very wealthy and has been providing funding to welfare homes in various places for many years.

That’s enough to know. They sound like kind people and will definitely make Yuanyuan live a good life.

Even if something happens, Yuanyuan is such a smart child, and with her contact information, I will definitely find a chance to tell her.

Thinking of this, Xia Wan felt relieved and leaned against the window to rest.

This was their last night in the Holy Temple.

Xia Wan and Su Qi had already packed their luggage and the two of them sat on the bed looking at each other.

The reason why they looked at each other in confusion... Xia Wan didn't know why, but Su Qi had been staring at her ever since she came out of the shower.

Xia Wan sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes tired from staring, and she couldn't help but ask: "Su Qi, do you have anything to say to me?"

Su Qi said directly: "No."

Xia Wan: "..."

Why do you keep staring at her?

Xia Wan couldn't figure it out, so she could only lie down awkwardly, turned over, and turned her back to Su Qi.

Then Su Qi called out, "Xia Mu."

Xia Wan: "......?"

Didn't you say no? Is there anything else?

So Xia Wan turned over on the bed, facing Su Qi, and said, "You say."

Su Qi lowered his eyes, stared at his hands, and said, "We will go back to Shengying for class next Monday."

Xia Wan nodded: "Yeah, yeah?"

Su Qi added: "The monthly exam will be held next Monday."

Xia Wan nodded again: "Ahhh."

Su Qi couldn't hold it in any longer and asked directly: "Do you still remember the bet we made?"

When the bet was mentioned, Xia Wan finally remembered and said, "Oh, that's what happened."

Seeing Xia Wan's nonchalant expression, Su Qi was furious and said, "You don't care about such an important bet at all? I haven't seen you read a single study-related book in the dormitory in the past half month. Do you know you will lose so you don't even struggle?"

Xia Wan yawned, feeling unable to understand Su Qi's accusation, and said, "Don't worry, if I lose I will leave on my own accord. I am not the kind of person who does not keep my word."

After saying that, Xia Wan turned over again and faced Su Qi with her back, saying, "I'm really sleepy. Go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Xia Wan's nonchalant attitude made Su Qi so angry that he simply turned off the lights in the dormitory.

Tired and sleepy.

These two words were the only ones in Xia Wan's mind, and she soon fell asleep.

After hearing Xia Wan's steady breathing and confirming that she was really asleep, Su Qi was so angry that he tossed and turned on the bed.

What is Xia Mu's attitude? Is he treating their bet as a joke? How can Xia Mu be better than him in the monthly exam tomorrow?

When Su Qi thought about how Xia Mu not only admitted that she loved reading girls' comics for his sake, but even cured herself of such an incredible disease as hemorrhoids, he realized that his previous behavior was wrong and that Xia Mu should be... a good person.

Thinking about the last bet again, Su Qi felt a little regretful. Xia Mu just asked him to apologize, but he actually wanted to kick Xia Mu out of Class A. This was too much.

So during this period of time, he was thinking every day about how to lose to Xia Mu in the next monthly exam in the most reasonable way.

Give him some slack, such as deliberately filling in the wrong answers on an English answer sheet, and then pretending to be reluctant to apologize because he lost the bet due to carelessness.

But now looking at Xia Mu's learning attitude, he has to let the opponent win, right?

Su Qi really felt very troubled. He had been fighting for so many years, but he didn't expect that this time he would be worried about how to retreat.

However, the culprit is not worried at all. He eats and plays as usual every day and can even sleep peacefully.

Su Qi was so angry that he tossed and turned for the twentieth time that night, but still couldn't fall asleep.

the next day.

Xia Wan and her group returned to Shengying first, while Xu Yaoyao came directly to Shengying on Monday to take the monthly exam and then moved into the girls' dormitory.

On the school bus.

Wei Chiyan stared at the back of Su Qi's head in the front row and said in a low voice: "Why do I feel like he is emitting black energy all over his body? It's even more terrifying than when he came here."

Jiang Yushi also echoed: "I clearly remember that we had a good time a few days ago and even had meals together in the cafeteria a few times. I thought his relationship with us had eased."

Xia Wan also shook her head and said, "He was like this last night. It's a bit strange indeed. Maybe someone made him unhappy."

Song Zhili lowered his head to read the book and asked the key point casually, "What did Su Qi say last night?"

"Oh." Xia Wan remembered and said, "He reminded me of the monthly exam tomorrow and our previous bet."

"I understand." Wei Chiyan said with a smile: "Is he afraid of losing to you and can't afford to lose face?"

"Ha." Xia Wan sneered and said confidently: "Not only do I want Su Qi to lose, I also want to make--"

Xia Wan said this, looked at Song Zhili, and said nothing more.

But her meaning was obvious.

Jiang Yushi was very interested and asked: "Do you still want to challenge Song Zhili?"

Wei Chiyan showed an incredible expression.

Song Zhili closed the book in his hand, looked up at Xia Wan, and said with a smile: "Then we'll wait and see."

That day, Xia Wan naturally returned to the Xia family and accepted the full set of loving Manchu and Han banquet prepared by her father.

Then Xia Wan mentioned that Xia Mu had sent her a message before asking her to help take care of a friend.

Father Xia waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with him. That kid doesn't have any bad friends."

Xia Wan didn't take this matter to heart. The next night she packed her luggage and returned to Shengying's dormitory.

Then the phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Su Qi.

【Qi Su】: Didn’t you say you would give me the complete set of “Journey to the Candy House” today? Did you forget?

Xia Wan naturally remembered this incident. She even brought the set of comics from home to school. However, seeing Su Qi's attitude towards her in the past two days, she decided to wait for two days before giving it to him.

But Su Qi had already taken the initiative to send her a message, so Xia Wan naturally took the comics and went to knock on Su Qi's door.

Seeing Xia Wan coming, Su Qi let go of the door handle and walked inside, saying, "Come in."

Xia Wan placed the entire set of comics on Su Qi's desk and said, "They are all here."

"...I got it. Thank you." After Su Qi finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xia Wan with a complicated look, and then he opened a wardrobe that was not very conspicuous on the side.

When she opened it, Xia Wan opened her mouth wide.

This is not a closet at all, it is clearly a paradise for girls' comics.

Countless comics that Xia Wan had seen in magazines but were no longer available for purchase, as well as complete sets of popular comics in the past two years, were basically placed in front of her.

Su Qi raised his chin and said, "Just look around and pick whatever you want."

Xia Wan couldn't wait to point at the set of glittering golden comics on the far left, "This! I only read one of these at the time! I couldn't buy them anymore! They're very cool! I didn't expect you to have the whole set here!"

Seeing that Xia Wan really "knew the goods", Su Qi's lips curled up even more. He took the comic book set out of the cabinet and said, "I have a lot more at home. As long as I think it's good, I have it all, except for the very few that you can only get by luck. You can pick whatever you want. If there are any you like that are not available here, you can tell me and I'll ask the driver at home to deliver it to you. You can read it whenever you want!"

"That's enough, this is enough." Xia Wan said, and carefully selected a few books she wanted to read most.

When she was about to leave with the comic book in her arms, Su Qi stopped her.

Xia Wan took a step back and asked, "Are you regretting it? Are you unwilling to let it go?"

"Of course that's impossible." Su Qi retorted without hesitation, and then pointed to the comic book in Xia Wan's hand and said: "The cartoonist of this series is very imaginative, and the plot has many twists and turns. Do you really want to go back and read it alone? Read it here with me, I can discuss it with you anytime."

Xia Wan was immediately convinced. She looked around and asked, "Should I sit on a chair or a sofa?"

Su Qi said: "It's up to you."

Xia Wan was originally sitting on the sofa, cross-legged, reading comics, and soon she was absorbed in them.

One hour later.

Xia Wan's face was full of intoxication and obsession: "Wow wow wow, he loves her so much! I deserve to see little cookies like this for all the good deeds I have done in my life!"

Su Qi looked at her expressionlessly, then gave her a mysterious smile. He also opened the comic book that Xia Wan brought him and started reading it together.

Two hours later.

Xia Wan threw the pillow to the ground and cursed: "Fuck! This was all a trap set by him? How can such a scumbag be the male lead!"

Su Qi slammed the table and stood up: "I felt the same way when I watched it! Watch further! This is actually a game within a game! The heroine knows that the hero is lying to her! Watch quickly, I'm afraid I can't help but give you a spoiler."

Xia Wan: "???"

Huh? Is it that complicated? Isn't this a cookie?

I finished reading the entire comic book at three in the morning.

Xia Wan stared at the ceiling, tears falling down. She felt as if her soul had been pulled out of her body and she felt indescribably empty.

Su Qi handed her a tissue and said, "Do you still remember the slogan of this comic book?"

Xia Wan: "If you don't watch it, you'll feel uncomfortable for a day. If you watch it, you'll feel uncomfortable for a year."

In order to comfort Xia Wan's wounded heart, Su Qi picked out his favorite comic book for Xia Wan, which was a real comedy comic.

Su Qi was also very considerate and prepared snacks such as cola, popcorn and potato chips for Xia Wan, so that she could take a break and continue watching if she got tired.

Until dawn.

Xia Wan glanced out the window blankly, then took out her cell phone to check the time.

Hold.

Class is about to start.

Xia Wan seemed to be suddenly awakened. She closed the comic book in her hand, looked at Su Qi who was still sitting at the desk, and said, "Su Qi! There is an exam today!"

"Yeah." Su Qi closed the comic book in his hand and asked calmly: "What's wrong?"

Xia Wan looked a little bewildered, and said, "We have an exam coming up, but we stayed up all night."

Su Qi seemed nonchalant and said, "So what? Will your level be affected too much?"

What Su Qi said made sense. It would be a little bit difficult at best, but it was not a big deal.

So Xia Wan stopped worrying and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

I can still make it in time if I go back, change my clothes, wash up, have breakfast and take the exam.

However, the moment Xia Wan opened the door, she saw Jiang Yushi and Wei Chiyan who were talking and laughing after buying breakfast together.

Wei Chiyan even extended his hand to greet him, saying, "Xia Mu, do you want to have breakfast together?"

But Jiang Yushi didn't say anything, but just raised his head and looked at the room number where Xia Wan was.

Wei Chiyan also quickly realized the problem, because this place was a bit far from his dormitory, so... whose dormitory is this?

Before Wei Chiyan could even ask the question, the answer soon came.

The door of the bathroom in the house opened, and Su Qi walked out yawning. Looking at Xia Wan who was still standing at his door, he asked in confusion: "Xia Mu, why are you still here? Aren't you tired after sitting all night? Well, you're fine, but I'm not. My butt hurts."

Wei Chiyan standing at the door: pupils shakingjpg.

The breakfast in my hand fell to the ground.

What did he hear?

Did it... did it all night? Tired? And why does my butt hurt? What kind of lewd words is Su Qi saying???

At this moment, even the corners of Jiang Yushi's lips twitched slightly. He was temporarily unable to connect the key words Xia Mu, Su Qi, single bed, and one night.

So he reached out and covered his forehead with one hand, slowly, he had to go slowly.

He said to himself in his heart: Stay calm, Jiang Yushi, you have to stay calm, you have seen all kinds of situations.

But the word "calm" did not exist in Wei Chiyan's dictionary. He rushed in and shouted angrily: "Su Qi! What the hell did you do? I fucking XXXX! Did XXX hear you?"

Looking at everything in front of her, Xia Wan immediately reached out to grab Wei Chiyan, wanting only to say -

Don't get me wrong...it's not right.

What happened?

What is there to misunderstand about Wei Chiyan???

The author has something to say:

Wei Chiyan: What? You two did it all night? Xia Mu must not have done it voluntarily, let me kill him!!!

Su Qi: That’s true. We sat together for the whole night. She sat on the sofa and I sat on the chair. She was fine, but my butt hurt.

Xia Wan: What on earth is he so excited about? (Dog confusedjpg.

Jiang Yushi: Stay calm, Jiang Yushi, you have to stay calm. You have seen all kinds of scenes... You have never seen a scene like this before.
