Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 134 Word-by-Word Analysis

After the last exam, there was surprisingly little sound of students checking their answers in the classroom, because the second-year students at Xinghua High School were excited about their study tour to Changbai Mountain next week.

Chi Yan did not come to take the exam. As the eldest son of the family, who was highly regarded by his family, he had already been involved in the company's affairs and had not been to school for almost a week.

Shi Sui glanced at her phone at the new message.

Chi Yan: [Are you going to Changbai Mountain? Let's go together.]

Participation in the study tour is voluntary. The registration form has already been filled out and submitted. Shi Sui has told him countless times that she's going, so why is she asking again?

Shi Sui: [Are you able to come back next week?]

Chi Yan: [Yes, I've already given instructions. Make sure to clear out next week's schedule.]

Shi Sui tapped the input box a few times, and finally only replied with two "Mmm".

She's been too busy studying lately to think about it much.

Now that the exam is over, Shi Sui flipped through her chat history with Chi Yan, staring at the words on her phone screen and analyzing them word by word.

Since the Pei Shuoxun incident, she has been particularly sensitive about matters of the heart.

Even though Chi Yan is so busy, he still sends her messages every day, asking all sorts of questions, just like Pei Shuoxun's mother. He even says goodnight to her before bed.

That's weird, the character design is all out of character.

Fortunately, WeChat has a forwarding function, so I can forward whatever I've finished chatting to another person.

Shi Sui suspected that Chi Yan still harbored some unrealistic fantasies about her.

You need to ask clearly.

If she's overthinking it, that's all the better. But if he really has malicious intentions to harm her studies, then he should give up on that idea immediately.

Shi Sui thought for a moment and realized that it was better to ask in person than to ask on her phone. She would go to Changbai Mountain next week to get to the bottom of it.

The results came out incredibly fast, there wasn't even time to discuss them, we were already on a plane to Changbai Mountain.

Xinghua chartered two super-large passenger planes and flew over with the entire second year of high school students.

The students were all extremely excited, except for Shi Sui, whose eyelids drooped and whose dark circles were particularly noticeable under her fair skin.

Chi Yan: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

Shi Sui, who only ranked fourth in her grade, said after studying all night: "I stayed up all night last night."

Chi Yan handed him an eye mask: "You should get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there."

He looked down and typed something on his phone, and the surrounding noise gradually subsided.

The boy's warmth and scent still lingered on the blindfold. Shi Sui was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at her again, she quickly put on the blindfold, tilted her head, and pretended to be dead.

Ever since she began to suspect that Chi Yan still harbored unrealistic fantasies about her, Shi Sui found him increasingly suspicious the more she observed him.

What's more, he had even confessed his feelings to her.

Hopefully she's just overthinking it, but if it's true—

If I break his defenses, he probably won't like her anymore, right?

After all, nobody likes a violent woman, except for that psychopath Pei Shuoxun.

Let's find a secluded place to settle things later; there are too many people around now, making it difficult to do so.

Chi Yan watched her quietly. Half of the girl's face was hidden under the blindfold, and the exposed cheeks were flushed with a light pink, like a fresh and juicy peach.

I wanted to poke her face, but I didn't want to disturb her rest.

To poke, or not to poke, to poke or not to poke...

Meanwhile, the campus forum exploded (there was WiFi on the plane).

[Brother Chi told us to be quiet in the grade group chat, who else could he be doing this for? Sisters, I'm totally shipping them!]

1L: I bet a bag of spicy strips that Chi-ge and Shi-sui are definitely secretly together!

2L: In just a few months, I've gone from being Chi Yan's girlfriend fan to Sui Jie's wife fan. Am I going to become their CP fan in the end?

3L: Actually, I felt they were a great couple from the moment they became deskmates, but since you guys are all criticizing Sister Sui, I can only secretly find some sweet moments.

4L: I feel that Dad loves Mom a little more, because Mom is too focused on studying.

5L: Where's the debunking post?! Why hasn't the debunking post come out yet?!

6L: Anyway, I'm totally obsessed with it, I've already accepted it as true.

7L: I'm totally obsessed with this. I want to kneel down and stop shipping, but I find that it's even better when I'm kneeling down.

8L: I've found a ship, but all the couples I've ever truly and passionately shipped are fake. Are you sure it's real?

9L: Anyway, I ship Shi Sui and Xue Shen more. Shi Sui has been with Xue Shen all month.

10L: I also think that Sister Sui and Xu Chaomu look more like a married couple. GB is amazing.

11L: High-class beauty x little sun, family, we just have to say it's super cute!

12L: Sui Sui is nice to everyone, so why do I think she's hard to pursue?

……

The forum lasted less than ten minutes before crashing and becoming inaccessible.

His slender fingers closed the notebook, and the boy's slightly downturned eyes revealed a coldness like the mist of the night.

The plane landed after three hours. There was some turbulence before landing. After Shi Sui woke up, she watched several skiing instruction videos.

Wear a down jacket and snow boots, and put on a scarf and hat before getting off the plane.

Just as Chi Yan was about to reach for her fluffy hat, Shi Sui ran away.

His hand hung awkwardly in mid-air as he looked at his best friend, who was holding hands with him not far away.

In that instant, he realized that Jacqueline Sung was the biggest threat.

There is a shuttle bus directly to the resort area after you exit the airport; the journey takes only half an hour.

After checking in and settling in, we went to the hotel's buffet area for lunch.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few students in the self-service area. Shi Sui, Song Xinying, and Xiao Youran split up and took small plates.

Shi Sui is not picky about food and is keen to try new things. She doesn't need to choose at all; she puts whatever she sees on her plate, and soon her plate is full.

I found a seat by the window and sat down. The sky outside was an unnaturally blue, and the boundless world was covered with a layer of white snow. I even saw a row of cute little snowmen.

Shi Sui had seen snow before, but the snow in the south was always very shallow, and it would melt quickly when the sun came out, leaving behind a damp and chilly feeling.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a grand snow scene.

I want to collapse into the snow; it feels just as soft.

A soft 'tap' sound—the sound of the plate being placed on the table.

Shi Sui looked away from the snow scene, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It wasn't Song Xinying; she was surprised to see Xu Chaomu sitting opposite her.

The boy wore a moon-white workwear down jacket with a turtleneck underneath, looking fresh, clean, and exuding youthful energy.

A faint smile appeared in her clear, snow-white eyes as Xu Chaomu asked, "Is this seat taken?"

This is a four-person table. With Song Xinying and Xiao Youran, there are only three of us, so Xu Chaomu can sit in the extra empty seat.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Sui replied, "No, you can sit down and we can eat together."

Xu Chaomu gave a soft "hmm" and invited, "Can we go skiing together later?"

"Sure," Shi Sui agreed with a smile, "but I've never skied before, I'm a complete novice."

"Me too, this is the first time I've ever seen such a magnificent snow scene."

"Yes, I'm so happy to see snow. Even though I can't ski, I still want to experience it."

……

Song Xinying, holding her tray, froze when she saw that her seat had been taken.

Damn it, she hesitated for just one more second between cheese and dried apricots or Swiss cheese, and her throne was taken!

The other party was still Xu Chaomu, and for some reason, she just didn't dare to compete with him.

Damn it, she seems to be a bit obsessed with academic geniuses; she's completely intimidated by the aura of academic prodigies!

Xiao Youran tugged at her sleeve and, as Shi Sui looked over, quickly said, "Sui Sui, Xin Ying and I will go eat at the next table. You two can chat all you want."

Shi Sui didn't understand why they wouldn't sit down and eat together, but she showed respect.

She suggested, "Let's go skiing together after dinner!" Skiing is fine even if we don't eat together, right?

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

The boy, dressed in a black ski suit, strode over with his hair slightly disheveled, exuding a flamboyant and imposing aura.

Chi Yan sat down next to Yan Ze.

Xiao Youran immediately grabbed Song Xinying's arm and dragged her towards the dining table next to them.

Song Xinying: "!" Don't stop me, I'm going to kick them out!
