The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 30: A Chair Trips Up Three Beautiful Girls
???

Chu Jiuli was so shocked that she forgot to pull her hand away immediately.

After a moment, she realized what was happening, quickly pulled her hand back, her eyes filled with shock.

Her fair fingers trembled slightly involuntarily.

Zhang Muchen looked at the stunned girl in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and showed a hint of curiosity.

Before, she was always so gentle and unresisting, letting me bully her. Why did she suddenly pull her hand away?

Chu Jiuli clenched her hands, as if instinctively protecting herself.

Zhang Muchen looked at the girl with a somewhat cold expression, puzzled.

When did this little girl become like her sister? Look at her eyes.
Her sister?
The next second, a startling thought suddenly surged into his mind, and Zhang Muchen's expression changed instantly.

Worri...

His gaze quickly swept to the girl's hair in front of him, and the smooth, straight hair, as silky as silk, made his heart tremble.

Because Chu Youting's hair is always braided, it always has a slight curve when it's down; it's never straight.

So, the girl in front of you isn't Chu Youting, but Chu Jiuli?
Zhang Muchen instantly regained her senses, a layer of cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

Oh no, I just touched his hand and flirted with him.

It can't be erased now.

Chu Jiuli stared at Zhang Muchen: "Aren't you going to explain?"

How do I explain this... that I'm just teasing you like you're your sister?

Zhang Muchen's brain was working at lightning speed; his CPU was practically burning out.

He glanced at Chu Jiuli's increasingly cold expression, and finally forced himself to speak: "Just now... I only meant to grab your arm, but I grabbed the wrong place..."

Chu Jiuli frowned, a warning glint in her eyes: "Zhang Muchen, I hope you'll be more serious in the future. Even if it's unintentional, don't always blurt out those lewd things."

???

Zhang Muchen pondered for a long time, wondering what kind of frivolous thing he had said.
Your hands are still so soft?

Oh, OK.

He sighed silently to himself, but also felt a sense of relief.

It seems that Chu Jiuli wasn't so angry about her suddenly grabbing her hand; instead, she was more concerned about the flirtatious remarks that came out of her mouth.

Chu Jiuli gave him a cold look, convinced that Zhang Muchen was indeed a frivolous person. Further words were pointless.

She bent down, picked up her red bag, and turned to leave. But as she passed Zhang Muchen, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

“Zhang Muchen, I think you’re very smart. Don’t waste your time on meaningless things.”

"Teacher Liu has high expectations for you. But you always play on your phone in class and skip English class in the afternoon. Do you think you're living up to Teacher Liu's expectations?"

???

Why are you suddenly lecturing me?
I skipped English class so I could pay your rent and utilities, didn't I?
"Also, you should tutor Shishi in English instead of playing with her."

???

I take her out to play? She's always clinging to me, okay?
After saying this, Chu Jiuli turned and walked towards the door.

???

Will you scold me and then leave?
Zhang Muchen is angry.

He reached out to grab Chu Jiuli and try to get her to explain herself. But the moment Chu Jiuli took her left foot out, she tripped over the chair leg and fell forward involuntarily.

"what!"

A cry of surprise escaped Chu Jiuli's lips as she quickly lost her balance.

Zhang Muchen embraced Chu Jiuli for the second time.

He glanced at the chair leg out of the corner of his eye.

Damn, awesome.

The chair that tripped Chu Youting was the same one.

An old actor.

However, this time he didn't fumble around and grab Chu Youting's chest like last time. Instead, he steadily embraced Chu Jiuli's slender waist.

At that moment, his palms seemed to feel the warmth and softness of her body. Even through the winter school uniform, he could still feel the delicate touch of her curves.

It feels nice to touch.

Pshaw, no, you mean great waist.

Chu Jiuli froze, her body trembling slightly. She seemed somewhat uncomfortable with this sudden intimate contact.

Her face turned pale, and a hint of unease appeared in her eyes.

Zhang Muchen suddenly leaned down slowly, his face gradually approaching Chu Jiuli. The distance grew closer and closer, until Chu Jiuli could feel his breath.

Chu Jiuli panicked and instinctively tried to struggle to get up.

At this moment, Zhang Muchen suddenly spoke up quietly: "You should lose weight, you're a bit heavy."

???

Chu Jiuli was stunned. He thought Zhang Muchen had ulterior motives for approaching him.

So it was all just for saying dirty jokes. Am I pretty?!

Chu Jiuli clenched her teeth.

Seeing Chu Jiuli's indignant expression, Zhang Muchen released her with satisfaction.

Ha, women. You scold me and expect me to be nice to you?
……

Outside the door, Wang Shishi listened to the exclamations coming from inside, her smile almost never fading.

She leaned against the door with her arms crossed, her mind filled with the sounds she had just heard.

What exactly were those two doing inside?

She couldn't hold back any longer and started banging on the door.

"Jiuli, Jiuli, open the door. I know you're inside."

The tense atmosphere inside the house was instantly interrupted by the sudden knock on the door.

Zhang Muchen and Chu Jiuli both turned to look at the doorway at the same time, and were stunned for a few seconds.

Outside, Wang Shishi shouted even louder.

"Open the door, open the door, Jiu Li. You have the guts to hide a man, so open the door if you dare."

"..."

"..."

The two people inside exchanged a glance and quickly went to open the door. Who knew what earth-shattering words Wang Shishi might utter if they waited any longer?

The door was opened, and Wang Shishi stood in the doorway, squinting as she looked the two people in front of her up and down.

What are you two doing in there?

Chu Jiuli said expressionlessly, "I've come to get Teacher Liu's bag."

Wang Shishi raised an eyebrow: "Does it really take this long to get a bag?"

"..."

Chu Jiuli was silent for a moment. She had indeed taken a while. But she couldn't possibly say anything about Zhang Muchen touching her hand and putting his arm around her waist.

She turned her head to look at Zhang Muchen, her gaze as cold as a knife. Her eyes were filled with a warning: "If you dare to say that, you're dead."

Zhang Muchen felt the cold gaze and his heart tightened. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "We are rehearsing the content for the New Year's Eve party."

Wang Shishi clearly didn't believe it, her eyes widening even more: "Rehearsal? Tell me what song you've been rehearsing in three seconds!"

Zhang Muchen and Chu Jiuli were stunned for a moment, then quickly exchanged a glance.

Almost instinctively, the two said in unison, "Light years away."

"Holy crap? Such perfect teamwork?"

Wang Shishi's eyes began to dart between the two, trying to find a clue in their expressions.

Her gaze shifted, and she said slyly, "Jiuli, what were you shouting about in there? I heard everything."

"..."

Chu Jiuli remained silent.

"She's practicing her singing inside," Zhang Muchen said.

"Who are you kidding? Do you think I'm singing Peking Opera?" Wang Shishi pouted.

"Shishi, I don't have time to play with you anymore. I have to go see Teacher Liu. Oh, and Teacher Liu also wants you to come over."

Chu Jiuli glanced at Zhang Muchen, casually uttered a remark, and then left with her red bag.

"Hey Jiuli, no, you haven't answered me yet!"

Wang Shishi panicked and immediately tried to chase after him. However, Zhang Muchen suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

"Dude, let go, I'm going to chase after Jiu Li!"

Wang Shishi struggled, but Zhang Muchen held her tightly.

"Stop chasing, come with me first."

Zhang Muchen changed his tone and dragged Wang Shishi into the house.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Wang Shishi asked, looking puzzled.

Zhang Muchen casually sat down on a chair and gestured for her to come over. Wang Shishi hesitated for a moment, then walked to the chair.

Zhang Muchen pointed to the door again: "Go to the door now."

Wang Shishi raised an eyebrow and pouted, "Am I an elevator? Going here and there all the time?"

Despite saying that, Wang Shishi obediently listened to Zhang Muchen and walked towards the door. However, just as she took her first step, her left foot suddenly tripped over a chair leg.

Wang Shishi screamed and fell forward.

Zhang Muchen skillfully put his arm around Wang Shishi.

He clicked his tongue.

"Alright, three little idiots."
