While her sister was secluded in her room working on her manuscript, Chu Yinan sneaked in to peek. She was incredibly focused. She started working at 7:30 in the morning and, except for breaks, spent all her time in front of the computer, working non-stop until 10:00 at night, then showered and went to sleep, repeating the same routine the next day.

Including the subsequent polishing, it only took five days to complete the content of about 100,000 words.

Compared to the effort she put into creating the content, the subsequent book title was much more casual, and she didn't even use the pen name "Xue" that she was already famous for.

Chu Yinan felt that she was probably the type who enjoyed the process of depicting the story, and didn't care about the outcome.

After all, she's a wealthy woman.

Not long after, the two returned to school.

I remember when the matchmaking program was first implemented at the school, there were so many couples holding hands. Now, I'm back to being single again.

Those who were going to break up have already broken up. Among the students coming and going from the school gate, it seems that only the two siblings are relatively close. Naturally, their closeness is misunderstood by passing students. Not everyone knows that Bei Yutang and Chu Yinan are siblings.

"It's really unexpected! All my close friends have broken up and become single again, but someone has managed to stay single for so long!"

"Or maybe they were just matched? It seems like someone in the next class has already started the second round of matching."

"But that boy is so small. Is he a first-year high school student? Or is he in junior high? I feel like he'll get crushed."

Don't think that just because you speak softly, no one will hear you!

Me, small? That's because you haven't met me, Mr. Mighty!

I am the one who angrily confronted the old lady at the book signing, the one who knew the inside story of the canteen corpse-throwing case, the one who was the main contributor to the restaurant spraying incident, and the one who dreamed of being the owner of a hot spring resort. You say I was crushed by Yu Tang?!

Chu Yinan wanted to let go of his sister's hand to avoid having his glorious image affected by such rumors along the way, but as soon as he tried to pull his hand back, his sister grabbed it and even squatted down to scare him with her pretty face covered by a mask.

Just then, Jiang Xuanya returned to school. Naturally, she became an obstacle to Bei Yutang's actions, stepping over and taking Chu Yinan's other hand, saying:

"What are you doing at the school gate so early in the morning? If you're tired and want to squat down, I'll take your brother to the classroom."

Chu Yinan raised his head, glanced at the hot senior with the familiar voice, and his heart skipped a beat.

Why is everyone wearing masks?!

Chapter 2 Why Haven't You Broke Up Yet?

She and Chu Yinan were doing just fine, so why did this stinky woman come over?

Bei Yutang clicked her tongue, her displeasure written all over her face: "What do you want? My brother probably doesn't know you well, right? Could you please let go of my hand? Don't let your social butterfly vibe infect him."

The term "social butterfly" is normally neutral, but when paired with Bei Yutang's inexplicably disdainful gaze, it takes on a different meaning, making Jiang Xuanya sound like some kind of bitch-type high school girl.

"Who are you calling a social butterfly, you gloomy woman?" Jiang Xuanya stopped trying to hurt each other and turned the focus back to Chu Yinan: "Chu Yinan and I are quite close. My family is one of his important clients, and he even helped me identify a beast in human form. He's my little benefactor!"

"Let's go. Don't embarrass yourself at the school gate with this girl. You need to stay away from her. You'll be influenced by your surroundings. Be careful not to pick up bad habits and make bad friends." Bei Yutang ignored Jiang Xuanya, letting her counterattack hit cotton, and pulled Chu Yinan to head towards the teaching building.

Jiang Xuanya considered herself to have a good temper, but Bei Yutang was the only one who could really annoy her. She was genuinely worried that one day Bei Yutang would make her so angry that she'd get pimples. She took a couple of steps behind and said unhappily:

"It's normal for social animals to interact. Chu Yinan is still young; he shouldn't be as gloomy and withdrawn as you. And Bei Yutang, didn't you see Chu Yinan looking at you with fear? He dislikes you!"

Do you dislike me?

The slender girl with long, straight black hair stopped and told Chu Yinan to look up at Jiang Xuanya, who was wearing a mask. Then she gently pushed Chu Yinan from behind, making him walk towards Jiang Xuanya. Chu Yinan took a step forward, then immediately stepped back, staring nervously at Jiang Xuanya's face.

Jiang Xuanya felt somewhat hurt by Chu Yinan's gaze.

It's only been a few days, why is he looking at her with such fear? She hadn't treated this little guy any badly before, had she? She'd treated him to good food and drinks and even helped him boost his sales targets.

There's no reason for him to react like this. Wait, he looked at Bei Yutang with the same expression just now, didn't he?

Jiang Xuanya had a guess in her mind. She bent down in front of Chu Yinan, looked at him closely, and then took off her mask. Chu Yinan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuanya pulled her mask up again, and Chu Yinan's expression changed. He stared at her nervously again, just like before.

Having understood the reason, Jiang Xuanya's displeasure vanished!

How funny! Chu Yinan is afraid of masks.

"Chu Yinan is clearly afraid of you, so please stop making false accusations."

Bei Yutang ignored her and took her younger brother upstairs.

Chu Yinan returned to the classroom, feeling as if she had been freed from torment.

Being caught between Yu Tang and Jiang Xuan Ya early in the morning was not a pleasant experience, but thankfully neither of them brought up the blind date or matchmaking so far, otherwise it would have been troublesome!

Sitting in his seat, Chu Yinan took out a tissue from his bag and wiped the dust off the desk. Then he took out his notebook and draft paper and placed them on the desk to fill the emptiness. If he didn't put something on the desk, he would feel like he was just there to loaf around.

Many classmates had already arrived in the classroom. Although it was only a short internship week and they hadn't seen each other, it felt like a long holiday. They enthusiastically gathered together to chat about how their internships were going, giving off a feeling of a class reunion after many years, where they would share their career prospects.

"Hey bro, what's going on? You said before that Senior Sister Tang from Beiyu University was your sister, fine, but how come I saw Senior Sister Jiang Xuanya walking with you this morning?" Lianxiu, whose name was full of anticipation for the holiday, came over. He couldn't possibly miss such gossip.

"I'm so envious! That's senior Jiang Xuanya. Her figure is like that of a girl group star. She looked even better when she dyed her hair blonde! She also knows how to dress!" Martin chimed in to listen to the gossip. "But I heard she already has a fiancé, right? You didn't just cheat on her fiancé, did you?"

This is just a rumor. However, given how frequently Kim Geun-joon visited Kang Seon-ah and Teacher Iori, it's not impossible that people might misunderstand that Kang Seon-ah has a fiancé.

Speaking of Mr. Kim Geun-joon, whom Chu Yinan had fatally messed with, he still had some respect for him. He dared to operate on two fronts at the same school, flirting with both the school beauty and the teacher, and yet he was never discovered. He truly deserved to be called an operator!

"The rumor that she doesn't have a fiancé is just wishful thinking on the man's part. Senior Jiang Xuanya herself didn't mean it that way," Chu Yinan said, helping to clarify the situation.

"Rumors? But I saw that man in the suit looking for Senior Jiang Xuanya at the school gate before. He had a nice face and his hairstyle was decent." Martin was somewhat skeptical of the accuracy of Chu Yinan's information.

"Have you heard about the kidnapping incident at the port? One of the kidnappers, Kim Geun-joon, was one of them. He was also a corporate spy and has already been arrested. Even if he was your fiancé before, he can't be now." Chu Yinan reluctantly brought up the port incident.

"So the perverted stalker who harassed Senior Jiang Xuanya before was that idiot named Jin Genjun!" Martin changed his name very quickly.

"Pah! So it was him! I was wondering why that Kim Geun-joon mentioned in the news looked familiar. That shameless name! I'll change my name to Lian Geun-joon!" Lian Xiu cursed angrily. His family was in the freight transportation business, and due to the port incident, their freight business had been greatly affected.

“Then I’ll be the head of the horse industry, hehe!” Martin said happily.

Chu Yinan said to himself, "Hello everyone, my name is Chu Genshuo."

"Wait a minute, you almost steered the conversation off-topic. So why is Senior Jiang Xuanya walking with you? They don't look like strangers meeting by chance!" Martin snapped back to reality.

"I met her during my internship. My family runs a women's clothing business. It just so happens that Jiang's family are my elders' clients, and she is also my sister's classmate, so we naturally got to know each other. It's just a very ordinary relationship."

Chu Yinan steered the conversation back to the two of them, asking curiously:

"How about you guys? How's the matchmaking going?"

Martin sighed, shook his head to indicate he didn't want to go into details, and simply said, "We broke up. She's an 'F' type, apparently influenced by her sister. She even wanted me to have an affair with her sister's boyfriend, which is pretty outrageous. I'm already considering buying a smart companion doll in the future."

Lianxiu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't take it to heart. Just think of it as a reward from the AI ​​for your casual flings. Getting one shot is a win. As for me, we've gotten along well. Good luck, and you'll meet someone suitable in the future."

Chu Yinan was surprised. At first, he thought that his brother Lianxiu was really carefree for finding a prostitute, but time has proven him right. So far, they are the couple that have lasted the longest.

"What about you, Chu Yinan? You haven't been matched with anyone yet?" Martin shook off his gloom and started gossiping about Chu Yinan.

Chapter 3: The Noble Lady Comes to School?

Previously, there was one topic that Chu Yinan didn't want to be mentioned: his height.

Now, the issue of matchmaking has become another knot in his heart that he is unwilling to mention. You can understand having multiple matchmaking partners, but why are the people he is matched with all so strange?

Although the reason still lies in his reckless card draws in his early years, being matched with family members is really unbearable.

"Don't even mention it, sigh!" Chu Yinan shook his head, not saying it outright, but you could tell it was a tragic story.

Martin did have a suspicion that he had been matched with Senior Jiang Xuanya, but if that were the case, he should have been happy to announce it to everyone. There was no reason for him to keep it a secret and sigh.

It's probably a failed match... Well, nowadays many girls like those pretty boys with idol-like looks? Tall, handsome oppas are practically the standard, so Chu Yinan is indeed facing a lot of pressure.

"Don't be discouraged. Many people in the school know about your case in the cafeteria. Your reputation has spread far and wide. You might even meet a girl who appreciates your soul!" Martin comforted Chu Yinan in return.

“Indeed, these things can’t be rushed. The more you expect, the more disappointed you may be in the end. Just think of it as the AI ​​saving you time. Love is actually a very time-consuming and thoughtful thing. The right one is the best.” Lian Xiu didn’t know what expression to make, so he gave Chu Yinan a thumbs up.

Chu Yinan had mixed feelings. There was nothing seriously wrong with him, but the two of them made it sound like he had suffered many heartbreaks in love.

In contrast, the other small groups in the class were quite lively, resembling an upper-class gathering of successful people, while the three of them were like disillusioned dogs comforting each other.

Among the group of boys near the entrance, the one in the middle, a slightly overweight boy with a barrel-like build, was the leader. He was over 1.7 meters tall, but claimed to be 1.75 meters tall. His name was Song Maren, and his parents were senior executives at a well-known company.

If you listen carefully, you can hear him proudly sharing his interactions with the elite circles of Glory Island during his internship, and taking pride in it, while the boys and girls surrounding him are somewhat envious of his connections and opportunities.

Song Maren recounted his experiences, feeling pleased to be the center of attention, as if he too had acquired the status of an aristocrat:

“I went with my cousin to a noble afternoon tea party at Cornwall Manor. The environment there is really unique. None of you have been to Glory Island, have you? That island is divided into different areas by large manor houses, where ancient nobles live. Maids and nuns from convents are very common there. And the maids are not like waitresses in cafes. They are trained in a special maid academy there. If you take a stroll around there, you will feel a different circle and a different world!”

"There must be a lot of celebrities and wealthy people hanging around there, right? To be honest, I've only ever seen those nobles in the news. How long is Glory Island planning to connect with Twin Islands? Can we even get to Glory Island?"

"I saw maids on the street a while ago. At first, I thought it was a maid-themed restaurant or something, but now I think, maybe they are real maids?!"

"Have you forgotten? Just two weeks ago, there was that kidnapping case at the cargo port. It seems the victims were two maids. We'll probably see those nobles traveling around again soon, right? What kind of pomp and circumstance will they display?"

Song Maren simply laughed off his classmates' discussions, displaying a certain superiority complex that comes from someone in the industry looking down on those outside.

"They are all ordinary people, but they have a very special aura. It's like... I forgot my lines for a moment. In short, when you see their speech, you feel that they are very high-class."

Martin overheard the conversation and couldn't stand Song Maren's attitude. He muttered under his breath, "This guy just benefited from the family's fame and was there as a supporting character. Why does he act like he's some kind of aristocrat?"

"They call them nobles, but really they're just another way of saying they're rich, right? It's kind of like a wealthy family. I wonder if you have to pay an entrance fee to visit Glory Island." The man on holiday almost thought of Glory Island as a noble exhibition hall.

Their discussion wasn't loud, but you could still hear it if you paid attention. Song Maren was always paying attention to how people around him evaluated him, and he scoffed at the sour remarks from Chu Yinan's small group of three.

"You bumpkin, even your words have a sour taste in them!"

Martin and Lianxiu both heard Song Maren's veiled remarks about them, but they ignored them, knowing that taking it seriously would mean losing.

Chu Yinan glanced at the time and dismissed the two, telling them to go back: "It's almost time for class, hurry back, I don't want the teacher to say that you're just chatting so early in the morning."

There was no objection to returning to their seats for class. The two carried their chairs back to their places, and Chu Yinan sat down to wait for class to begin.

Because I was so bored, I couldn't help but think about what Song Maren had said.

Chu Yinan didn't really understand why they wanted to squeeze into that so-called aristocratic circle. The reason why nobles were "noble" in history was simply because they possessed resources that ordinary people couldn't access, and could enjoy a more luxurious and convenient life, with servants even cooking their meals.

And haven't those conveniences already been perfectly popularized by AI? From an efficiency standpoint, using a maid to manage daily life is nowhere near as efficient as using smart home technology, right?

But those things don't matter. It's normal to pursue identity. As for a sense of superiority, Chu Yinan himself has it too. He is proud that he can appreciate the stunning beauty of a beautiful buttock, which is a treasure that other naive perverts don't understand!

Classes began with two consecutive math and science classes in the morning, followed by two literature classes. Only half an hour was reserved before the end of the school day for a brief class meeting to summarize the work.

Chu Yinan's grades are always above average, and he could achieve even higher if he put in a little more effort. However, better grades would mean doing something as foolish as becoming a class officer, so he has always been able to control his grades very well.

During the third period of the morning classes, literature class, a little disturbance occurred in the classroom. It was said that a noble lady from Glory Island was coming to visit. The students sitting near the aisle couldn't concentrate and kept looking out the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary noble lady.

The math teacher, a male teacher with graying temples, patted the table with a hint of helplessness: "Can you please teach properly? If the guests who come to the school see you treating the lessons so absentmindedly, it will only make you look bad."
