Su Qianqian suppressed the inexplicable unhappiness in her heart, feeling that Jiang Cuo did not trust her.
After the bodyguard finished quietly, he returned to the villa.
She sat in her room, bored and waiting, wondering if Jiang Cuo would come to tutor her at 8:30.
Su Qianqian had a textbook in front of her, but she hadn't turned a single page in half an hour; not a single word could penetrate her eyes.
Just as the time came to 8:30, there was a knock on the door. Su Qianqian deliberately put on a stern face and only said "Come in".
"Sister, why are you so unhappy?"
Su Lian's voice, soft and concerned, rang out. Dressed in a white dress, she resembled a harmless little white flower.
Su Qianqian looked out following Su Lian's figure and saw Jiang Cuo standing behind Su Lian.
He then sat up straight, pursed his lips, and said, "No, it's not bad. You're mistaken."
Su Lian glanced at Jiang Cuo behind her out of the corner of her eye, then jogged over to Su Qianqian, half-squatted down beside her legs, and placed her face on Su Qianqian's lap.
“Sister, you don’t need to worry about that anymore. I told the classmates in the group to write a petition for you, and they all agreed. Doesn’t that mean the classmates all believe in you?”
Su Qianqian: "Did you propose the petition?"
Su Lian raised her head, her eyes smiling, "Yes, it wasn't me. Could it be Jiang Cuo?"

Chapter Thirty-Five
Three days have passed.
Su Qianqian noticed that Jiang Cuo seemed to be sulking.
Ever since Su Lian teased Jiang Cuo a few nights ago, claiming that she wrote the petition, Jiang Cuo has maintained a cold expression.
Fortunately, the aversion level did not increase.
The system integration rate is also increasing at a rate of 0.1 per day.
Although it's slow, as long as she doesn't lose anything, she can preserve her assets in the system world.
After Su Qianqian had her bodyguard install the cameras, she had someone delete the post and remove all posts related to the topic.
So within these three days, if anyone tries to search for this post, they won't even find it using the keywords.
Su Qianqian refused to believe that person wouldn't get angry.
When the second class ended, Su Qianqian racked her brains trying to find a topic to get closer to Jiang Cuo.
She didn't know why Jiang Cuo was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to go up and bother him. However, even after Jiang Cuo calmed down for two or three days, the relationship between the two of them did not improve. If this continued, she would not be able to find topics to talk about, and if she had no contact with Jiang Cuo, the system integration degree would decrease.
So, right after the second class ended, Su Qianqian subtly moved her butt towards Jiang Cuo.
First, shrink the physical distance between two people, and then shrink the distance between their hearts.
Although Jiang Cuo still comes to her room to tutor her every night these past few days, he talks much less, and his eyes seem to be silently blaming her.
"Jiang..."
Su Qianqian put on a bright smile, but couldn't think of anything to say, so she reached out and scratched her head, looking adorable and incredibly cute.
Jiang Cuo's expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly said calmly, "I'm not going to tutoring tonight."
Su Qianqian seemed to have used up all her enthusiasm, but after being doused with cold water, she suddenly lost her warmth and felt a strange sense of loss welling up in her heart.
No, what is she disappointed about?
Asking Jiang Cuo to tutor her was just a task, and it's not like she didn't know how.
Moreover, she ranked second in the last monthly exam, so even if she does well again next time, no one will question her like they did last time.
Jiang Cuo didn't tutor her, so she could have a more relaxed evening. She should be happy.
[Waste System: Warning, Jiang Cuo's aversion to the host has increased by 2. His current aversion to the host is 30.]
Su Qianqian: "??!"
She didn't dare say a word, let alone refute Jiang Cuo.
How did I increase my dislike for her?
Su Qianqian dared not let her mind wander, and immediately tilted her head, "Why can't Jiang tutor me anymore? Is something wrong? Or are you not feeling well? Is there something wrong with Grandpa's health? Should I ask the housekeeper to call a doctor to take a look?"
Seeing Su Qianqian's anxious look, Jiang Cuo's cold aura, which initially kept people at a distance, gradually subsided.
The slight frown on her brows was gradually smoothed out, and her eyes and brows softened.
The book was in front of him, but he didn't turn the page for a long time, not even glancing at a single word. After hearing Su Qianqian's rather anxious concern, Jiang Cuo's fingertips twitched slightly, but his lips remained pursed in displeasure.
"It's nothing."
Su Qianqian responded with an "oh".
Seeing Jiang Cuo's unwilling expression, Su Qianqian dared not move forward any further, lest she push her luck and increase her level of dislike.
Moreover, since it was time to do morning exercises after the second period, Su Qianqian didn't dare to linger and got up to leave.
Jiang Cuo was left sulking in his seat, almost turning himself into a ball of anger.
Is this Su Qianqian the kind of person who doesn't cherish what she has?
After asking so many pointless questions, she didn't say anything. Why didn't she continue asking?
In the past, if she was even slightly unhappy, he would immediately come to coax her, his heart and eyes were always on her.
And he even said he wanted to be friends with her? Is this how you become friends?
She's completely distracted right now; even if someone else is taking her place, she probably won't realize it!
I didn't do well in school before because I wasn't focused on my studies; I was focused on her. Now, I'm not focused on my studies, nor on her.
What a fraud.
She said she wouldn't tutor her, yet she didn't even ask a few questions about such an important matter, accepting it so casually. It seems that in Su Qianqian's eyes, whether she tutors her or not isn't that important.
Like Jiang Cuo, the students who left the classroom later suddenly felt a somber atmosphere in the classroom, which made them feel inexplicably sad and extremely disappointed.
They touched the goosebumps on their bodies, looked around, and saw only Jiang Cuo sitting in his seat, quietly reading a book. They were extremely puzzled. This kind of aura couldn't possibly be coming from Jiang Cuo, could it? Jiang Cuo only emanates cold air.
At this moment, Jiang Cuo sat upright in his seat. Although he seemed to be looking at the book in front of him attentively, his index finger, which was resting on the book, was secretly picking at the corner of the book, and the smooth pages were covered with fuzzy crumbs.
It wasn't until the announcement over the loudspeaker urged the students to go down and do their morning exercises that Jiang Cuo slowly got up, still with his usual indifferent expression, but one could almost see a hint of grievance in his cold eyes.
Things that have happened will eventually fade from memory. Ever since Su Qianqian had the housekeeper find someone to completely censor that post, the students seem to have realized that some things can be said and some things cannot be said. So they slowly began to keep quiet about the matter and were attracted to new things.
However, Su Qianqian will still attract attention and cause a sensation wherever she goes.
So when Su Qianqian went downstairs during break to do her morning exercises, she wasn't too surprised to be stared at by her classmates with gossipy eyes, as if something was about to happen to her.
However, just as she went downstairs and reached the corner of the teaching building, a girl suddenly rushed up to her with a blush on her face.
The girl clutched a thin envelope tightly in both hands, her head down, stammering.
Su Qianqian didn't pay any attention.
He planned to walk around the girl and continue forward.
Unexpectedly, the blushing girl seemed to have mustered up her courage, looked up, and then walked around to face her, handing over the envelope in her hand and placing it in front of her.
"Su Qianqian, I like you. Can you accept my love letter?"
Su Qianqian: "!"
Su Qianqian was genuinely startled.
To be honest, she transmigrated into this system world and is currently in high school.
She truly had no intention of harming children, and all her attention was focused on that fortune. She only thought about completing the mission, getting the money, and having as many beautiful women as she wanted in the future.
So when she was confessed to, Su Qianqian didn't know how to react for a moment.
Su Qianqian then took a closer look at the girl's face, which was flushed. The girl was slightly shorter than her and had fair skin. She was a little chubby and quite cute, with some plumpness on her body.
Su Qianqian looked at the love letter in front of her and could feel herself in the world of the love-obsessed system, as well as the gossipy looks from the people around her.
Although the students didn't dare to make a loud fuss, their eyes were full of promises to her.
Su Qianqian felt a headache coming on.
Moreover, she could feel a gaze like an icicle staring straight at the back of her head, as if trying to bore a hole through it.
Su Qianqian turned her head slightly and saw Jiang Cuo standing not far away with a cold expression.
It almost startled her.
The morning exercise break was about to begin, and Su Qianqian felt it was better to just refuse, since she didn't know this girl at all.
Just as Su Qianqian was about to reach out and politely explain to the girl, the girl thought Su Qianqian was raising her hand to take her love letter. She hurriedly tried to step forward and place it in Su Qianqian's hand, but unexpectedly tripped over her own foot and fell into Su Qianqian's arms in a dramatic, melodramatic way.
The progress was too fast, so fast that Su Qianqian hadn't even turned her head yet, and she clearly saw the change in Jiang Cuo's eyes, which went from cold to a deathly stillness.
Su Qianqian suddenly had a strange feeling that Jiang Cuo was the wife who had caught the main wife cheating on her husband.
Moreover, she had a vague premonition that if she hugged this girl, Jiang Cuo's dislike for her would definitely increase significantly.
In the blink of an eye, Su Qianqian immediately took a step back, then stretched out her index finger and, with incredible willpower, placed it on the girl's shoulder, maintaining the girl's balance with just one finger.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans in that regard right now."
After Su Qianqian saw that the girl had regained her balance, she withdrew her hand and turned to leave.
All that remained was the girl with red, swollen eyes, rejected, and the sighs of those around her, some feeling sorry, others secretly excited.
