Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

Jiang Chen handed the S-grade talent awakening book to Ye Xiaoqi, and deliberately waved it around:

"Xiaoqi, this is for you."

When Ye Xiaoqi saw that Brother Jiang Chen had actually given her such a valuable prop, she was stunned. Her puffed-out chest went back down, although it looked almost the same as when it wasn't puffed out.

Ye Xiaoqi stared in disbelief at the talent awakening book radiating red light. Her round eyes slowly widened, her pupils trembled slightly, and even her cat ears stood up high.

Her voice trembled slightly:

"For...for me? Really for me?!"

Jiang Chen didn't answer Ye Xiaoqi's question; he just smiled and tossed the talent awakening book in his hand.

Bai Nuonuo and her aunt, who were sitting to the side, consciously moved to a seat next to each other, making room for Jiang Chen to easily operate Ye Xiaoqi.

Her white, chubby eyes sparkled as she clapped her little hands and cheered.

"Yay! Xiaoqi, you have talent too!"

Bai Nuonuo was genuinely happy for Ye Xiaoqi, and the ahoge on her head stood up even higher.

The girls all turned to watch the drama unfold, eager to see how Ye Xiaoqi would react.

"Although Xiaoqi is a bit short, she did a lot of work in killing zombies. It's just that it's a little comical to see her holding a metal baseball bat that's almost half her height... *chuckle*"

"Even at such a small size, she's still adorable! Our Xiaoqi may be a little cheeky, but she's still very cute!"

Ye Xiaoqi suddenly snapped out of her daze. Her first instinct was to cross her arms, turn her face to the other side, hold her head high, and let her pigtails swing back and forth.

"Who...who asked you for it! I don't care!"

"I don't want your pity, Jiang Chen, I don't want your charity..."

Ignoring everything else, Jiang Chen shoved the S-rank talent awakening book into Ye Xiaoqi's arms, which were crossed, and joked:

"I don't want this either, you can throw it away."

He knew that Xiaoqi was like that; she was very concerned about her image and didn't really accept charity from others.

Jiang Chen would always just shove it into her arms and give her a simple way out.

Ye Xiaoqi held the talent awakening book that emitted a red light, her eyes slightly moist.

She held on tightly, as if afraid of being taken away.

Every time Jiang Chen tried to give her something, he would use this lame excuse.

It's been used like this for four years...

In the past four years, Brother Jiang Chen has never been angry with me, not even once. Every time, he just gently pats my head.

Ye Xiaoqi quietly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Chen.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen smiling at her, Ye Xiaoqi immediately lowered her eyes and looked out the window. Deeply moved, she remained outwardly defiant.

"Since...since you insist on giving it to me...then I'll reluctantly accept it!"

Ye Xiaoqi felt that she wasn't domineering enough. How could she become Jiang Chen's master if she wasn't?

So she quickly looked up at Jiang Chen and added:

"This isn't what I wanted! You forced it on me!"

Ye Xiaoqi spoke softer and softer:

"Muttering... Perverted..."

Jiang Chen raised his hand and gently placed it on Ye Xiaoqi's head, rubbing it once more.

"Okay, I forced it on you."

Jiang Chen looked at the little female devil whose eyes were squinting from his touching.

Jiang Chen felt that she was like a black Hakimi that would breathe on him.

But all this Hakimi can do now is breathe on me; it still comes over to rub against me quite often...

In Jiang Chen's eyes, Ye Xiaoqi was different from Teacher Wen's motherly feeling, and also different from Senior Sister Yun Qianqian's older sister feeling. Ye Xiaoqi gave Jiang Chen the feeling of being his own younger sister...

A little devilish sister who often mocks her brother for his rambling...

But Jiang Chen is a good older brother and never gets angry with Ye Xiaoqi.

Seeing that Ye Xiaoqi was being stubborn again, Lan Xingyao covered her mouth and chuckled, then muttered a broken Cantonese phrase to tease Ye Xiaoqi:

"Why don't you hurry up and thank Fly Bro?!"

"Abu! Could you please thank Brother Chen?!"

The girls also joined in the commotion:

"That's right, Xiaoqi should be a polite and good little girl! Quickly thank the sports committee member."

"Haha, the sports committee member will definitely like the polite Xiaoqi even more. Thank you, sports committee member."

Tang Yan, the little koi fish, touched the blue top hat on her head and muttered to herself in confusion:

"Would Brother Jiang Chen like someone with a top hat?"

"I'm the only one wearing a top hat on the bus, so doesn't that mean Brother Jiang Chen likes me the most? Hehe!"

Tang Yan's two sentences immediately silenced the girls...

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples with a wry smile...

The bus was very quiet at this time.

Ye Xiaoqi hugged the talent awakening book in front of her, which was almost bigger than her upper body.

Ye Xiaoqi lowered her head slightly, puffed out her cheeks, and mumbled three words to Jiang Chen:

"Thank...thank you..."

After she finished speaking, Ye Xiaoqi lowered her head even further, and her ears turned a bright pink.

If her sister hadn't said that Brother Jiang Chen liked polite little girls, she definitely wouldn't have thanked Brother Jiang Chen!

When Jiang Chen heard Ye Xiaoqi actually thank him, he was first stunned, then the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a sunny smile.

Jiang Chen gently stroked Ye Xiaoqi's soft head as he spoke softly:

"It's okay, Xiaoqi. Just be yourself. No matter what, I won't dislike you..."
