Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 229 Brainwashing? At most, just love-struck!

Chi Yan smiled and said, "We should be together."

At this moment, the light and shadow seem to slow down, and everything is like a long take in a movie.

Her puppy's smile was so bright and sparkling, it seemed to illuminate the whole world and make people forget all their troubles.

Looking into his bright eyes, Shi Sui could hear her own heartbeat and breathing.

I'm not kidding anymore.

There was no way to refuse.

Just then, the elevator nearby rang, breaking the two-second silence.

We arrived at the floor where the train was docked.

Pei Shuoxun, who had stepped out of the elevator, turned around and looked at her: "Sui Sui, what are you doing here?"

Shi Sui avoided his gaze, feeling inexplicably guilty.

It's like getting caught doing something wrong when you were a kid.

But she hadn't done anything bad before. At most, she wouldn't do her homework, but she never felt guilty about it. She always did it with a clear conscience.

So this sudden feeling of guilt is particularly inexplicable.

It came out of nowhere, and I couldn't figure it out.

?

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Chi Yan clicked his tongue very softly and answered for her, "Looking for me."

—So she came to see me first thing this morning instead of you. Now you know who's the most important person to her, right?

Pei Shuoxun ignored his slightly smug expression, his eyes only on one person: "Sui Sui, I've already asked for leave for you. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Need to take a leave of absence? Go to school!

Shi Sui, who had completely forgotten what day of the week it was, was startled and almost immediately pushed the two away to run home, pick up her schoolbag, and go to school.

But the next moment, she realized—she was going to die.

Since I'm going to die anyway, there's no point in studying or going to school.

He gave up on himself.

Pei Shuoxun then saw the girl in front of him suddenly startled and then droop her head.

He was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Do you want to go to school?"

"I won't go to school, I'll never go to school in my life." Shi Sui shook her head quickly, then mumbled, "It's useless."

She looked so downcast, like a wilted little rose that hadn't been watered.

"Then you won't go to school." Pei Shuoxun reached out and smoothed her hair, his voice gentle. "You haven't combed your hair either, I'll comb it for you when we get home."

Chi Yan slapped Pei Shuoxun's hand away and looked at him with displeasure: "Hey, don't touch me like that."

Pei Shuoxun glanced at him calmly, then took Shi Sui's hand: "Let's go home."

Shi Sui let herself be led around, thinking that since she was going to die anyway, it didn't matter.

Chi Yan quickly separated their hands.

He put his arm around Shi Sui's shoulder and said earnestly, "Shi Sui, you haven't agreed to be with me yet."

Interrupted by Pei Shuoxun, Shi Sui almost felt too guilty and chose to run away.

She nodded, about to speak.

Pei Shuoxun keenly sensed the danger and frowned slightly: "What did I promise you?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Chi Yan smiled provocatively at him.

Then she looked down at Shi Sui, her eyes sparkling: "Right? Shi Sui."

For a few seconds, Pei Shuoxun didn't know if he was breathing.

He knew that Chi Yan would only exaggerate, not fabricate.

Despite his turmoil, Pei Shuoxun's gaze towards Shi Sui remained gentle.

That inexplicable feeling of guilt reappeared.

Shi Sui didn't dare to look at him, but she could still sense his gaze.

Is this feeling of guilt like being caught by your parents for having a relationship in puppy love?

“She didn’t agree to your request.” Pei Shuoxun quickly composed himself and looked coldly at Chi Yan. “Don’t force him.”

Chi Yan was about to speak in rebuttal.

Shi Sui explained before he could: "He didn't force me, it was my own choice—"

Pei Shuoxun's eyes suddenly darkened, and he interrupted as quickly as possible: "Did he ask you to be his girlfriend?"

Shi Sui nodded, amazed by his uncanny foresight.

Pei Shuoxun concluded definitively: "This is coercion."

Shi Sui: "?".

Chi Yan: "?!"

Pei Shuoxun: "You've only known each other for a short time, and you already like each other? Is love such a casual thing?"

Shi Sui was stunned and began to calculate how long she had known Chi Yan.

Without hesitation, Chi Yan told her, "326 days."

Then, suppressing the urge to throw Pei Shuoxun back into the elevator, she sneered, "So what if you've known him for a long time? Shi Sui only sees you as a brother."

Chi Yan: "Shi Sui and I will only be together for longer. From now on, it will only be me."

Pei Shuoxun chuckled softly: "I'm Shi Sui's brother. Do you think I would leave her?"

Although he didn't want to know, Chi Yan knew that with Pei Shuoxun's shamelessness, he really couldn't be driven away.

Pei Shuoxun continued, "Precisely because I am Shi Sui's brother, I should tell her that I can't agree to your request just because you keep telling her you like me every day."

Pei Shuoxun lowered his gaze and looked at Shi Sui gently: "He's brainwashing her, he's deceiving her."

"Sui Sui, you've always been soft-hearted since you were little."

"You must remember his ugly side and not be swayed by a few sweet words."

Chi Yan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "You're the one who's brainwashed."

He's just love-struck at most, how could he be brainwashed?!

And where is he ugly? He's clearly the most handsome!!

Chi Yan pulled Shi Sui's hand and pressed it to his heart: "I truly like you."

Body temperature, touch, and heartbeat are transmitted through the thin fabric.

Shi Sui was drawn to look up and met his gaze.

Passionate and ardent, flamboyant and unrestrained.

However, the next second, another force covered her hand, removing it from Chi Yan's chest.

Pei Shuoxun glanced at Chi Yan: "Your behavior is frivolous."

Chi Yan, a childish elementary school student, retorted: "You're the one who's being frivolous."

Sparks crackled and popped in the air.

Shi Sui immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been struck by a spark, and took a deep breath: "Don't make a sound."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuoxun stopped fighting and looked at her gently: "Are you hungry? Let's go home first and I'll make you breakfast."

Chi Yan retorted without backing down, "I can cook too."

Shi Sui: "..."

Without a doubt, without any plot twists, she will die first from Chi Yan's terrible cooking.

Just then, a booming laugh echoed in Shi Sui's mind, and the system, which had been offline for a long time, reappeared:

[Host! I've finally finished calculating the mission rewards!]
