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

Chapter 70 Same Time, Same Place

After slurping up the last bite of noodles, Zhang Muchen took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

The tissue was stained with oily juice, and a look of satisfaction lingered on his face.

"Sure enough, the first bowl of instant noodles is always the most delicious."

Zhang Muchen leaned back in his chair, his gaze languid.

So what's the worst-tasting one?

Answer: The second bucket of instant noodles.

Unlike Zhang Muchen, who devoured his food in a flash, Chu Youting was still eating in small bites.

She slowly picked up the instant noodle cup, gently sipped the soup, and moved very softly.

If Chu Jiuli's eating style is elegant, then Chu Youting's eating style can be summed up in one word: obedient.

She always eats very quietly, making almost no sound, as if afraid of disturbing others.

The table was spotless, not a single drop of soup spilled.

Zhang Muchen guessed that if Chu Youting accidentally dropped food on the ground, she might even whisper, "I'm sorry, I wasted it."

Zhang Muchen propped his head up and looked at her with gentle eyes.

This kind of well-behaved girl is also sweet and gentle.

If we don't bully her, who else should we bully?

"Little Yuzu, what's the farthest place you've ever been?"

Chu Youting hesitantly raised her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "In the city."

"Huh?" Zhang Muchen was taken aback.

"The city? You've never been outside the city?"

Chu Youting nodded silently: "That time I went to the city, it was to accompany my mother to see a doctor."

After speaking, Chu Youting lowered her head, her eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.

Zhang Muchen's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he tentatively asked, "Little Youzi, is your mother's illness very serious?"

"My mother has passed away," Chu Youting said softly.

She gently bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red.

"."

Zhang Muchen's fingers paused slightly, his eyes softened instantly, and a hint of apology appeared on his lips.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyouzi, I brought up something that upset you."

Chu Youting shook her head, her voice low: "It's okay. It's been a long time."

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stirring the broth in the instant noodle cup: "It's just that sometimes... I still miss my mom."

The simple phrase, "I still miss my mom," tugged at Zhang Muchen's heartstrings.

He paused for a moment, then said gently, "Your mother misses you too, little Yuzu."

Zhang Muchen took out a tissue and gently handed it to Chu Youting: "Just give the song we sang at the New Year's Eve party to your mother. She will definitely be able to hear it."

Chu Youting's eyes reddened slightly, but her gaze held a hint of anticipation.

She nodded gently, her voice soft and sweet: "Mmm."

Zhang Muchen smiled and said, "Little Youzi, I'll also help you improve your English so you can get into Tsinghua or Peking University."

Chu Youting blinked, her voice tinged with hesitation: "Um...but..."

She looked up at Zhang Muchen earnestly: "Can you also go to school in the capital?"

“Me?” Zhang Muchen shrugged. “With my grades, it would be a bit difficult to get into a school in the capital.”

Chu Youting pursed her lips: "I can improve my English, could you... perhaps help me with math?"

Zhang Muchen was slightly taken aback, then curled his lips into a teasing smile: "If you can give me 'imported' instant noodle seasoning, I'll study math properly."

Chu Youting's face flushed instantly, her eyes flickering as if she was hesitating about something.

She silently forked the sausage she had bitten into from the instant noodle cup, her voice low: "Just... just this once..."

After saying that, Chu Youting put the sausage into Zhang Muchen's instant noodle cup, her fingers still trembling slightly: "This...is this okay now..."

The girl blushed, lowered her eyes, and dared not look at him.

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow, looking at the sausage: "Tsk tsk tsk, Little Yuzu is really generous."

"I promise you'll study math hard. But you'll need Teacher Yuzu's personal tutoring."

Hearing Zhang Muchen deliberately drawl on his words, Chu Youting's cheeks turned bright red, and she stammered, "I...I was just giving proper tutoring..."

Zhang Muchen propped his head up with his hand, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Who said you were being indecent?" Chu Youting froze, her face turning bright red, before finally muttering softly, "You bad guy."

Zhang Muchen looked at the girl in front of him with a sweet expression, who was almost burying her head in her chest, and then...

Learning math isn't so boring, is it?

At least there's still Little Yuzu to bully.

Outside the door, Wang Shishi's ears almost blended into the door.

She held her breath, trying to catch any sound coming from inside the door.

However, only faint whispers could be heard.

"Damn it, I can't hear anything." Wang Shishi pouted in frustration.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Chu Jiuli.

Chu Jiuli: [Shishi, where are you?]

Wang Shishi stuck out her tongue at the screen and quickly typed: 【I'm spying on you】

Chu Jiuli: [? 】

Wang Shishi glanced at Chu Jiuli's reply, gave a soft snort, and continued typing: 【Where are you?】

Chu Jiuli: [I'm in the classroom]

Wang Shishi pouted: [What are you doing in the classroom?]

Chu Jiuli: [Waiting for you in the classroom]

"Oh my gosh~ Still waiting for me? Probably just hanging out with your buddies inside." Wang Shishi thought to herself.

Wang Shishi: [Are you kissing me?]

Chu Jiuli: [? 】

Hmph, woman, using question marks to cover up her panic?

WeChat video call initiated!
Wang Shishi initiated a video call request to Chu Jiuli.

Three seconds later, Chu Jiuli rejected the video call request.

Chu Jiuli: [I can't make phone calls, it's too obvious. If I get caught, my phone will be confiscated.]

Wang Shishi scoffed, "Still lying? Let's see how long you can keep up this act."

She looked at the heavy security door in front of her, took a deep breath, and then raised her little pink fist and started banging on the door.

"Open the door, room check!"

Sixth floor, classroom.

Chu Jiuli stared at her phone screen, her brows furrowing slightly.

The WeChat message from Wang Shishi left her somewhat confused.

"Stalking me, kissing me? What's wrong with Shishi again?"

She muttered something under her breath and casually stuffed her phone back into her pocket.

Many students gradually returned to the classroom, and the noise gradually increased.

Chu Jiuli packed her schoolbag, carefully organizing her English-related materials and neatly placing them inside.

She is always very organized, even arranging her books according to size.

After tidying up, Chu Jiuli picked up her schoolbag and left the classroom.

Although evening self-study hasn't started yet, the classroom is already quite noisy and not suitable for studying.

She decided to go directly to the English competition classroom on the seventh floor to reserve a spot.

After all, it's relatively quiet there, which is suitable for studying.

Chu Jiuli went upstairs along the stairs.

The familiar scene will be repeated tonight.

Wang Shishi was frantically knocking on the door from outside.

Chu Jiuli appeared carrying a schoolbag.

In room 703, Chu Youting listened to the knocking on the door, trembling with fear.

Zhang Muchen gritted his teeth.

Holy crap, is Wang Shishi born in the Year of the Dog?

How come this guy always manages to find his way here by following the scent?
