A thought suddenly popped into Chu Yang's mind: The best brothers are the ones you betray.
She felt even more guilty, and the way she looked at Fan Xiaojuan changed.
Fan Xiaojuan didn't understand why Chu Yang's eyes suddenly held a look of compassion, mixed with guilt and sympathy, as he stared straight at her.
"Hey beautiful, why don't you stay away from the dorm these days?" Chu Yang suddenly blurted out.
Fan Xiaojuan was even more confused. Just as she was about to ask Chu Yang if he had lost his mind, she saw Chu Yang wave his hand and say, "Never mind, forget I said anything." He paused, then said very seriously, "Remember, if anyone asks you about me in the future, you must say you don't know me and have no idea who I am!"
Fan Xiaojuan was a little dumbfounded by what Chu Yang said, but she still nodded obediently.
Xiao Xiao (revised)
After what had happened, Chu Yang had no appetite. He stood under the tree for a while, lost in thought, and then suddenly remembered something. He ran straight to the study room, not even bothering to pick up the lunchbox that had rolled off the ground at the cafeteria entrance.
"If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?" Chu Yang thought angrily as she packed up her books and textbooks in the study room. "Anyway, I'm a senior now, and most of my courses are over. I'm not coming to school anymore. I'll just study wherever I want. I don't believe those people can find Xiao Xiao!"
Back at Xiao Xiao's place, Xiao Xiao hadn't gotten off work yet. Chu Yang then realized that he hadn't eaten lunch. He rubbed his already flat stomach, cursed Fang Yi a few more times, and couldn't concentrate on the book in front of him. He ate some food from the small refrigerator, but still felt unwell, so he started waiting anxiously for Xiao Xiao to come home from get off work.
Although Xiao Xiao looks like a pampered girl who has never lifted a finger, she is an excellent cook. Moreover, if she has nothing else to do, she usually goes home to cook dinner. Since Chu Yang moved here, he has often eaten at Xiao Xiao's house.
Chu Yang waited until it was almost dark, but Xiao Xiao didn't return. Instead, he received a phone call:
"Chu Yang, find something to eat yourself tonight. Your sister asked me for help urgently, so I can't go back for now," Xiao Xiao said.
Chu Yang was seething with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't know which deity he had offended, or why his older sister, Zhang Jingzhi, had to get involved on such an unlucky day, depriving him of the right to comfort himself with delicious food.
When Xiao Xiao drove to the restaurant, she saw Zhang Jingzhi sitting there like a quail, sometimes looking up shyly at Yang Lei, the "chicken leg" across from her, and then baring her teeth and glaring at Wang Yuhan next to Yang Lei when Yang Lei wasn't paying attention.
Just as Zhang Jingzhi was expressing her dissatisfaction to Wang Yuhan, she inadvertently looked up and saw Xiao Xiao. Her expression immediately changed to that of a working-class person seeing the People's Liberation Army. Forgetting all about her ladylike image, she quickly stood up, waved to Xiao Xiao, and shouted, "Here she is!"
Xiao Xiao smiled at her and walked over, only to have her hand grabbed by Zhang Jingzhi, who introduced her in an excited, slightly trembling voice, "My friend, Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded at the two handsome men in front of her.
“This is Yang Lei,” Zhang Jingzhi introduced again, then paused and pointed to Wang Yuhan, saying, “Wang Yuhan.” There was a hint of murderous intent in her voice.
Upon hearing Zhang Jingzhi's tone, Xiao Xiao already knew who the main person was and who Zhang Jingzhi was referring to as "the shameless villain who ruined someone else's first date without any sense of propriety." She gently patted Zhang Jingzhi's hand to soothe her and signal her not to get agitated.
Zhang Jingzhi understood Xiao Xiao's meaning, and her smile became even sweeter, concealing the murderous intent she had shown towards Wang Yuhan earlier.
Wang Yuhan grinned and, in a very gentlemanly manner, pulled out a chair for Xiao Xiao to sit down. Then he looked at Zhang Jingzhi with a smug smile, which made Zhang Jingzhi grind her teeth in frustration while pretending to smile.
Today was all planned out perfectly. She had been getting close to Yang Lei for several days and had finally managed to create a few chance encounters. She had also managed to "meet" Yang Lei at mealtime and orchestrated this chance encounter dinner. She was just planning to take this opportunity to deepen their "impressions" of each other when Wang Yuhan suddenly appeared out of nowhere. How could she not be angry?
Unfortunately, Wang Yuhan was incredibly oblivious. Couldn't he see that the two were on a date? Why was he getting involved? Zhang Jingzhi was furious, but because of Yang Lei and the fact that Wang Yuhan was Yang Lei's friend, she couldn't say anything. She could only glare at Wang Yuhan countless times, wishing she could just turn him into a sieve!
When all else failed, Zhang Jingzhi had no choice but to ask Xiao Xiao for help. She looked at Xiao Xiao, then gestured with her chin towards Wang Yuhan, who was eating with his head down: "See him? That's the guy. Quickly use your charm to get rid of him! So I can have some alone time with him!"
Xiao Xiao gave him a knowing look: Got it, watch me.
Zhang Jingzhi then gave him a meaningful look: This guy is quite skilled, you need to be careful!
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow: Him? No problem, I can fool him in ten minutes, just you wait and see.
Yang Lei was an innocent and good boy, so he naturally didn't see Zhang Jingzhi and Xiao Xiao exchanging glances. Although Wang Yuhan had his head slightly lowered, he still took in all their little actions and found it even more amusing. He couldn't help but smile and wanted to curl his lips upwards.
Wang Yuhan wasn't oblivious to the situation. He had already realized that Xie Zhangjingzhi, who seemed quite ladylike, didn't welcome his involvement. However, he still couldn't resist teasing her. He deliberately accepted Yang Lei's invitation, chatted enthusiastically with Yang Lei, and left Zhangjingzhi there, waiting for her to get impatient.
I don't know why, but I just wanted to tease her. I liked watching her forcefully suppress her ladylike behavior, watching her grin and make fierce faces at him as if no one could see, expressing her dissatisfaction, watching her quickly put on a gentle and quiet smile when facing Yang Lei, and watching her deliberately speak in a soft and slow voice.
Xiao Xiao deliberately started talking to Wang Yuhan in a low voice so that Zhang Jingzhi would have a chance to talk to Yang Lei. However, after a few words, she found that although Wang Yuhan was listening to her with a polite smile on his face and would say a few words from time to time to show that he was listening carefully, he always managed to steer the topic back to Yang Lei and get Yang Lei to join their conversation.
This effectively turned into a conversation between three people, leaving Zhang Jingzhi out in the cold as usual.
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes, looked at Zhang Jingzhi, and then at Wang Yuhan, who had a smile in his eyes. She already understood something.
Interesting, she thought, glancing subtly at the somewhat silent Yang Lei before returning her gaze to Wang Yuhan's face. Wang Yuhan noticed Xiao Xiao's gaze, making no attempt to avoid it, and even smiled at her.
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and nodded slightly to Wang Yuhan. The two suddenly seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
Ten minutes passed, and Xiao Xiao still couldn't get Wang Yuhan to leave. Another ten minutes passed, and Xiao Xiao seemed to have formed a good friendship with Wang Yuhan. The two talked more and more, and halfway through the meal, they even ordered more wine.
Zhang Jingzhi was furious!
After finishing the meal, Zhang Jingzhi couldn't even sit down and have a proper chat with Yang Lei because Wang Yuhan and Xiao Xiao had ruined everything. When the four of them came out of the restaurant, Zhang Jingzhi had completely lost hope for tonight. Oh well, she'd wait for another opportunity.
Four people, two cars. Xiao Xiao and Wang Yuhan arrived in the cars, and how to allocate them became a problem again.
Zhang Jingzhi thought that she absolutely could not let Yang Lei get into Xiao Xiao's car alone. Now that things had come to this, she could only let Yang Lei get into Wang Yuhan's car and let Xiao Xiao take her home. But she did not expect that even this small wish could not be fulfilled by God. She did not know what Wang Yuhan whispered in Yang Lei's ear. Before she could figure it out, Yang Lei got into Xiao Xiao's car and she was also dragged into Wang Yuhan's car.
Zhang Jingzhi was filled with hatred! She hated Wang Yuhan for breaking up someone's marriage, and she hated Xiao Xiao for not being a good friend. Even if she couldn't help her, she should at least have objected!
Xiao Xiao got into her car, honked the horn at Wang Yuhan's car, and drove off first. Yang Lei sat quietly for a while, then suddenly laughed to himself and said softly, "Yuhan is interested in your friend, yet he still has to bully her, like a child."
Xiao Xiao was taken aback at first. Yang Lei had been rather silent all night, but she hadn't expected him to have noticed so quickly. Her impression of Yang Lei improved a bit, and she smiled and asked, "What about you? No feeling?"
Yang Lei smiled and gently shook his head. "She's not the one for me."
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, but she sighed inwardly. Poor Zhang Jingzhi, she finally took the initiative, sigh! But thinking about Wang Yuhan from earlier, she felt better. Maybe that kind of person is Zhang Jingzhi's nemesis.
The two didn't say much on the way home. After dropping Yang Lei off, Xiao Xiao drove her car home. Just as she was about to reach the entrance of the residential area, she saw that many cars ahead had been stopped by traffic police.
Seeing the situation ahead, Xiao Xiao thought to herself, "Oh no!" Although she hadn't drunk much alcohol, she was sure to fail the test.
A traffic policeman came over, knocked on Xiao Xiao's car window, and gestured for her to roll down the window.
"Miss, please cooperate," the traffic policeman said, extending the alcohol detector in his hand.
Xiao Xiao chuckled dryly, wondering how to chat with him, when her eyes swept around and she spotted Jiang Sicheng in a police uniform not far away, talking to several traffic police officers and another driver.
"Heaven hasn't forsaken me!" Xiao Xiao laughed. Ignoring the traffic police around him, he opened the car door, got out, and shouted to Jiang Sicheng in the distance, "3528!"
She didn't know his name yet, only that she had seen his police badge number on his chest.
Jiang Sicheng was startled. He turned around and saw Xiao Xiao waving at him. Several of his colleagues were also stunned to see such a beautiful and fashionable woman calling out Jiang Sicheng's police badge number. Then, one of his colleagues patted his shoulder with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face, signaling him to go and take a look.
Jiang Sicheng frowned slightly, his face flushed a little, but he walked over.
Xiao Xiao (revised)
Because she had drunk a little alcohol, Xiao Xiao's cheeks were flushed, and her dark eyes shone like water under the streetlights. Jiang Sicheng glanced at her quickly and felt his face get even hotter. He didn't dare to look Xiao Xiao in the eye and awkwardly lowered his head, saying in a low voice, "I'm not called 3528, I'm called Jiang Sicheng."
Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "I know, I know." Then, pointing at Jiang Sicheng, she grinned at the traffic policeman and said, "We're good friends, we can't let things go wrong. Let's not let me blow this gas!"
The traffic policeman looked at Jiang Sicheng with some difficulty, waiting for his reaction.
Jiang Sicheng glanced at his colleague, then at Xiao Xiaohong's alluring face, knowing she must have been drinking. He was tempted to go easy on her, but with so many colleagues watching, and him being a newcomer who had only been on the job for a short time, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only say with a stern, flushed face, "We can't break the rules."
Jiang Sicheng's colleague laughed and deliberately handed the testing device to him, signaling him to "sacrifice family for the greater good." Jiang Sicheng's expression became even more awkward. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist his colleague's insistence, so he had to take the testing device and hold it in front of Xiao Xiao. Although the other colleagues in the distance did not come over, their eyes kept drifting over, and they had some ambiguous smiles on their faces.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Jiang Sicheng, whose ears were red from holding back his anger, and then at the traffic police officers who were smiling maliciously. She knew that this matter was not going to be easy to get away with today. She wasn't afraid of being fined, but when she thought about the possibility of being sent to some kind of "study class," she felt that it would be a loss to let them have their way.
With a quick glance, Xiao Xiao's evil intentions were already rising. She deliberately took a step forward, getting less than half a meter away from Jiang Sicheng.
Jiang Sicheng was startled and subconsciously wanted to step back, but Xiao Xiao grabbed his arm. He saw that Xiao Xiao's almond-shaped eyes were already smiling like crescent moons as she leaned closer to him with a grin and said, "I didn't drink, really, don't test me, just smell me if you don't believe me."
As she spoke, she actually opened her mouth and pretended to move closer to his face.
Xiao Xiao is tall and wearing high heels. At this height, she doesn't need to stand on tiptoe; she can just reach the height of Jiang Sicheng's lips by simply raising her chin.
As those rosy lips drew closer and closer, Jiang Sicheng was shocked and tried to back away, but Xiao Xiao grabbed his arm, so he had to lean back. The first word that popped into his mind was "using alcohol to vent his anger." After the initial shock, a surge of anger rose in his heart. How could this woman be so promiscuous!
Xiao Xiao was so happy she was practically bubbling with joy. She thought her behavior of flirting with the policeman on the street was incredibly cool, and the shy little policeman was really funny. She would definitely tell Zhang Jingzhi this joke another day.
Although Jiang Sicheng was a bit shy, he wasn't stupid. He noticed the teasing in Xiao Xiao's eyes, frowned slightly, straightened up, and was about to push her away when someone bumped into him from behind, and his lips bumped into Xiao Xiao's lips, which were still slightly open.
The touch is softer than ever before.
Both of them were startled and quickly dodged away. Xiao Xiao was alarmed; the joke had gone too far.
Jiang Sicheng's face had turned a dark red, as if he was on the verge of becoming furious.
Passersby started laughing, and Jiang Sicheng's colleague turned his back, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Xiao Xiao quickly let go of Jiang Sicheng's arm and took a step back. Although she still had a charming smile on her face, she was a little unsure of herself. Looking at the young policeman's expression, could it be that this was his first kiss? That would be so unkind. Forgive me, forgive me, Xiao Xiao felt guilty inwardly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Xiao Xiao apologized quickly, but she couldn't help but smile. It seemed that she was trying hard to hold back her laughter, otherwise she probably would have burst out laughing.
They bumped into each other by accident, but it was the woman who apologized to the man, making the scene even more bizarre.
Jiang Sicheng's face could only be described as black. He didn't care that he was on duty and just said to his colleague next to him, "I'm leaving for a while. Tell the boss for me."
Before Xiao Xiao could react, Jiang Sicheng pulled her into the car, then walked back to the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.
Judging from the car's starting speed, the driver was clearly very angry. Xiao Xiao sat obediently in the passenger seat, knowing that the young policeman was already furious, and that it was best to remain silent. So she didn't say anything, only smiled and looked out the window at the bustling traffic.
Jiang Sicheng had driven her once before, so he drove the car to the building where Xiao Xiao lived without any trouble. He stopped the car, but Jiang Sicheng didn't seem to want to get out.
Xiao Xiao felt a little guilty, after all, she had accidentally "stole" his first kiss, and it was from someone in uniform no less. She hoped he wouldn't ask for any compensation.
"You really like drinking?" Jiang Sicheng suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. His face was no longer red, but had returned to its slightly dark color, and his thick eyebrows furrowed as usual.
"Officer, oh no, officer, I swear, I really never drink and drive! I didn't drink—" Xiao Xiao hurriedly said, but feeling Jiang Sicheng's sharp gaze, she quickly changed her tune, "Today was just an accident, I only drank a small cup, uh, three small cups." She wanted to act coquettishly again, but thinking of the embarrassing situation just now, Xiao Xiao swallowed back the words "If you don't believe me, smell it."
“Drinking a little alcohol is more dangerous,” Jiang Sicheng said. “It’s better to get completely drunk. Drunk driving has a very high accident rate, so don’t take any chances.”
Hearing him start lecturing her, Xiao Xiao quickly made a stop gesture and put on a smile, "Stop, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again, please give me the ticket, I accept it!"
Seeing Jiang Sicheng's stunned expression, Xiao Xiao chuckled, thinking to herself, "I don't believe you'd really have the nerve to give a ticket to a beautiful woman like me. Besides, we just had a close encounter. With this innocent young policeman in front of me, I can easily make him go home obediently by using a few tricks."
Jiang Sicheng paused for a moment, then actually took out a notebook from his pocket and, in the dim light of the car, formally wrote a ticket for Xiao Xiao before handing it to her, saying, "Remember to pay it at the traffic police station on time."
Xiao Xiao's smile froze. She never expected that this little fairy who had cultivated for a thousand years would encounter such a heartless rock who didn't know how to cherish women. Clutching the parking ticket that Jiang Sicheng handed her, she watched helplessly as he opened the car door and got out. He took a few steps forward, then seemed to remember something and turned back.
Come back, come back, realize your mistake, then quickly take back the ticket and apologize to me, Xiao Xiao muttered through gritted teeth.
Jiang Sicheng walked over to Xiao Xiao and knocked on the car window.
Xiao Xiao rolled down the glass, a charming smile on her face, and gazed at Jiang Sicheng with deep affection.
“Remember to attend the ‘Traffic Regulations Study Class’ on time, otherwise points will be deducted from your driver’s license,” Jiang Sicheng instructed again.
Xiao Xiao stared wide-eyed, took a deep breath, and forced a smile onto her face. She nodded firmly, thinking, "I can't let such a lowly policeman ruin my reputation!"
Jiang Sicheng turned and walked away, but as he turned around, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards.
