Chu Cihan is almost dead.

Of course, not in a physical sense.

After returning from Binjiang No. 2 Primary School, she seemed to have lost her soul, exuding a heavy, deathly aura.

Those eyes, which used to be bright and sparkling with a touch of arrogance, are now dull and lifeless, and nothing seems to interest them.

When her parents asked her what happened, she refused to say.

The girl already had a bad temper, and now she's even more prone to exploding at the slightest provocation.

During break, a classmate accidentally bumped into Chu Cihan's desk, disturbing her sleep, and was immediately scolded and made to cry.

The teacher rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the student's face flushed from crying and Chu Cihan's cold expression, she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing—after all, the private elementary school was funded by Chu Cihan's family.

There are many wealthy students in the school, but none can compare to the Chu family.

So even if many people suffered indignities at Chu Cihan's hands, they could only endure it and remain silent, helpless.

Of course, this does not include those who are unaware of the situation.

"Chu Cihan, are you hungry? I specially asked my family to make braised pork for you."

Cao Ziran entered the classroom carrying a thermos, his face full of a fawning smile.

Chu Cihan lay face down on the seat, her cheek resting on her crossed arms, her eyelashes drooping, her breathing steady.

The afternoon sun slanted in through the window, casting a soft golden hue on her face, making her already exquisite features appear even more unreal.

Cao Ziran unconsciously swallowed.

He was a student who transferred in last week. His family went through all sorts of difficulties to get him in, and they only asked him to do one thing—to get in touch with Chu Cihan.

Cao Ziran didn't know why he wanted to please a girl a year younger than him, but the promises his family made to him were just too tempting.

He agreed without hesitation.

Now, he's not just following his family's orders anymore.

Cao Ziran was stunned the moment he saw Chu Cihan.

How could there possibly be such a beautiful girl in the world?!

Due to her family education, Cao Ziran is quite precocious and already understands some things about relationships.

He felt that he definitely liked this girl named Chu Cihan, even though she was only eleven years old.

"Finally, I've found my chance!" Cao Ziran was thrilled.

During lunch break, most of the students in the teaching building had left, but Chu Cihan, for some reason, didn't leave and was sleeping on his desk.

This is the perfect opportunity to be alone!

However, this kid is still inexperienced and doesn't know that people have morning grumpiness.

Chu Cihan's closed eyelids twitched, and he opened them slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The girl slowly raised her head, her anger already brewing.

Upon seeing Cao Ziran, Chu Cihan's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.

"go out."

She said coldly.

Cao Ziran paused for a moment. He clearly sensed the change in atmosphere, but he didn't back down.

Chu Cihan was known for his sharp tongue in the class, but he felt different—he had come to deliver food, and with such sincerity, the other party wouldn't be so heartless as to kick him out, would they?

"I... I saw you didn't eat lunch and was worried you'd be hungry, so I brought you some food." He quickly opened the lid of the insulated box, revealing the braised pork inside.

It has a reddish-brown, glossy appearance, a thick sauce, and is still steaming. The aroma is indeed quite strong, wafting through the air.

"You can't understand human language, can you?" Chu Cihan took a deep breath.

She hated greasy food the most. The layer of oil glistening on the surface of the meat, coupled with Cao Ziran's forced smile, made her feel nauseous.

She had no appetite whatsoever, only irritability.

The hot-tempered girl was ready to start yelling.

Cao Ziran was speechless and didn't know how to respond, thinking to herself: This person has such a terrible temper.

But I like it.

Cao Ziran put on that self-proclaimed warm and caring smile again, his tone deliberately relaxed:

"It's alright, it's alright. If you don't like it, I'll have someone make you something else."

As he spoke, he took half a step back and plopped down in the seat in front of Chu Cihan.

Chu Cihan's expression changed.

If before it was coldness, now it's murderous intent.

This seat is no ordinary seat; few people in the school don't know who originally sat there.

Shen Ye was here before he transferred schools. After he left, the desk in front of him remained empty for a long time. Chu Cihan didn't let anyone sit there, and the teacher didn't dare to assign anyone to it either.

But Cao Ziran just sat down like that.

He even rocked his chair, adjusted his posture, and turned back to smile at Chu Cihan.

The title of mine clearance expert is absolutely rightfully his.

"Clang!"

Without warning, Chu Cihan suddenly sprang up and slammed the lunchbox heavily onto Cao Ziran's head with one hand.

In an instant, the soup and oil splattered everywhere.

"Get out!"

Cao Ziran was stunned.

Dark red sauce dripped down her hair, leaving sticky, dark stains on the shoulders and collar of her school uniform.

Chunks of meat rolled everywhere, some even sliding down the collar and inside the clothes.

He stared incredulously at the girl standing on the seat, feeling the greasy sensation on her body, and anger rose within him.

But before his anger could fully rise, he was stunned by Chu Cihan's icy, murderous gaze.

His intuition told him that if he didn't leave now, the consequences would be severe.

"well......"

Cao Ziran nodded blankly, staggered to his feet, and, ignoring the mess all over his body, hurriedly ran out of the classroom with his head down.

The sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor, fading into the distance until they disappeared completely.

The classroom fell silent again.

Chu Cihan stood there, looking down at the oil stains and pieces of meat scattered on the floor, his brows furrowing slightly.

She shook her right hand in disgust, her fingertips sticky with soup.

"Honestly, why does Dad recruit just anyone to the school?"

She muttered a complaint under her breath, then pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands. She had already made up her mind to make Cao Ziran disappear from school completely when she got back today.

Then......

Chu Cihan slowly turned his head and stared at Shen Ye's table for a long time.

The girl's eyes softened for a moment, then, as if she remembered something, the gentleness receded like the tide, leaving only boundless indifference.

"Heh..." She chuckled self-deprecatingly.

I glanced at the table in front of me, which was covered in soup, and at my own table, which was slightly splattered with it.

Chu Cihan took out his phone and made a call.

"Replace all my desk and books with new ones, and then thoroughly clean the desk in front of me, making sure there isn't a single stain left."

The person on the other end of the phone didn't ask why, but simply answered "yes" in a standard way.

After doing all this, Chu Cihan lay back down on the table and buried his face in his arms.

In the empty classroom, the girl's small shoulders were slightly hunched, like a hedgehog curling itself up.
