"Hot?" Xu Sisi looked up doubtfully at the weather, felt the cool breeze, and pulled on her jacket.
She chuckled, "Jiang Wei, you must be in great shape, I’m still feeling cold, and you’re already hot."
She left Jiang Wei looking awkward.
He quickly changed the subject with a question, "About this problem, I think it should be ..."
The boy’s gentle voice flowed softly as Xu Sisi listened intently, nodding eagerly.
So that’s how it was solved! Xu Sisi saw Jiang Wei draw an auxiliary line and suddenly she understood. As she was immersed in listening, her collar was abruptly tugged.
At first, Xu Sisi didn’t pay attention and continued to listen, but as she started to focus again, her collar was yanked once more.
Xu Sisi turned around annoyedly, wondering who was being so annoying.
"Hey, you—Brother Ruiyang!" Xu Sisi’s eyes widened in surprise, her hand covering her mouth, "You, how did you come here?"
Wasn’t he supposed to go to the base?
Xu Sisi’s voice caught Jiang Wei’s attention. He stopped working on the problem and looked up at Jin Ruiyang.
At that moment of eye contact, Jiang Wei felt a hint of hostility.
The man in front of him was dressed in a white suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, giving off a handsome and refined aura.
Even with his presence, Jiang Wei felt himself shrinking in comparison.
Jiang Wei was puzzled. The man looked so gentle; why did he feel pressured? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel~fire~net
"Sisi, is this your... brother?" Jiang Wei, noticing his distinguished appearance and mature dress, mistook Jin Ruiyang for Xu Sisi’s brother.
A bit dazed, Xu Sisi shook her head, "No, this is my..."
She couldn’t bring herself to say "fiancé" in front of Jin Ruiyang, so she coughed and said softly, "My boyfriend."
In that moment, Jiang Wei heard the sound of his heart breaking and stammered, "You, you have a boyfriend?"
Xu Sisi blushed at his question, nodded briefly, and then ran off in the opposite direction with Jin Ruiyang, "Um, classmate Jiang Wei, I’m going home now, goodbye!"
Jin Ruiyang had been silent the whole time, except for initially calling her name.
After running for a while, Xu Sisi looked back and, seeing no sign of Jiang Wei, she stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gossip spread quickly in school, and Xu Sisi didn’t want to turn around to find the whole class questioning her.
She just hoped Jiang Wei wasn’t a blabbermouth.
Jin Ruiyang watched her quietly, his deep eyes twinkling with a faint smile.
"Xiao Sisi, are you really scared of people seeing us together?"
"Of course I am!" Xu Sisi replied without hesitation.
Jin Rui discharged the smile in his eyes and put his hands in his pockets, "Am I an embarrassment?"
"No, it’s just our class is full of gossips." Xu Sisi shook her head.
Seeing Jin Ruiyang put on his glasses again, Xu Sisi’s face flushed. She really liked how Brother Ruiyang looked wearing glasses, so cool.
Squinting at him for a moment, Xu Sisi noticed it looked like he had an injury near his eye. She stepped closer and reached out to take off his glasses.
The faint scent that hit him made Jin Ruiyang a bit distracted, but he quickly grabbed Xu Sisi’s wrist.
"Xiao Sisi, what are you trying to do?"
His voice was gentle and warm, like the winter sun bringing a touch of warmth.
Her wrist caught in his grasp, Xu Sisi stopped and stood on tiptoe, "I want to see if you’ve hurt your eye."
