Chapter 4, The Golden Frenzy After the Thrilling Escape

Le Xiaolian was like an elephant with its tail on fire, stamping her feet heavily in place, feeling countless scorching gazes shooting towards her from all directions. She hurriedly covered her face with a piece of letter paper, but her nose caught a whiff of a familiar fresh scent. She took a closer look at the letter paper and then realized that the paper in her hand had been replaced with another one—on the pure white stationery, strong and vigorous handwriting could be seen透纸背.

Jiang Shuo Liu, you insatiable scoundrel!

"Eh? What is happening to me?" Le Xiaolian shook her heavy head, feeling that her eyelids were heavier than lead, wanting to open them but unable to do so

The boy was completely stunned by Yue Linxuan's bombardment, his tongue tied into a bow tie

After a moment of silence, Wen Zhenhai finally spoke again: "Although I am very reluctant, I still have to take my leave. It is getting late, and you should also pay attention to rest early."

"It's nothing, I just want to take a good look at what the legendary shining man is like." Le Xiaolian straightened up and assumed a serious expression

"Xiao, Xiao Xue!" Le Xiao Lian's face was as pale as a dying person struggling in the desert as she looked at the thick stack of exercises in front of her. "This, so many exercises, just looking at them a few times will make my eyes go blind!"

Le Xiaolian looked in the direction of Shen Xuechi, and not far ahead, Yu Hanyan and her follower Yue Linxuan were walking. The two of them resembled oversized real-life dolls that had just stepped out from behind the counter, whispering to each other as they walked.

Well

"Tonight was very enjoyable, thanks to classmate Shen Xuechi's hospitality". On this chilly autumn night, a smile graced his face as the gentle moonlight bathed him, and his eyes radiated a captivating brilliance akin to a clear spring. His smile was like a night breeze, brushing against the hearts of everyone present.

A broad and cheerful smile emerged in her mind, so similar to the elegant yet heavy silhouette before her, yet the feeling was so different

Le Xiaolian's nose felt slightly sour, and each word in the letter struck her heart, which was beating fervently with excitement, like a small hammer. She rubbed her nose and wiped her eyes, feeling as if she had just taken a hot bath, warm and comfortable. The corners of her mouth trembled slightly from the emotion, but finally, they rose firmly, transforming into a captivating smile reminiscent of a sunflower bathed in golden sunlight

"Feng, you simply have poor character!" Jiang Shuo Liu teased Xiao Yan Feng with great interest, peering through the thick, rising smoke.

Two

Is it really possible to do it this way? This guy Hai is simply too cunning! I want to join in too! Xiao Yanfeng, feeling dissatisfied, scratched his onion head, looking enviously and jealously at Shen Xuechi's flushed cheeks, secretly fuming.

Suddenly, a dark shadow fell from the sky, and a sound that caught people off guard erupted from behind like thunder. Le Xiaolian covered her ears, which were ringing loudly, and stiffly turned her head.

Bang!

Saying this, she handed Shi Xun a basket of selected vegetables

The owners of the chopsticks simultaneously looked up at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became tense

"By the way, how are you and Senior Youhui doing?" Looking at Shixun, who was diligently washing vegetables with rolled-up sleeves like a housewife, Le Xiaolian couldn't help but smile inwardly, and the question slipped out of her mouth.

Jiang Shaoliu immediately held his breath. Through the half-open door, he saw Shi Xun walking towards the sleeping Le Xiaolian. The moonlight spilled onto his delicate and refined face, which resembled that of a girl. Those beautiful eyes, usually even more indifferent than Shen Xuechi's, were now sparkling with an incredible brightness.

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Le Xiaolian was so anxious that she almost swallowed her own tongue: "Alright, gossiping man, it's time to eat!"

Boom

Ding! "Ah, that's right! It seems that the wicked queen is only lacking in good intentions, but otherwise, she is not lacking in anything else."

This fellow is indeed here

"In front." Shen Xuechi finished speaking淡淡的.

With a heart that had been hanging in suspense now at ease, Jiang Shuo secretly let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, Shi Xun stood up.

Only a large backpack was placed on Shixun's knee, and he was silently organizing it, as if he wanted to cast a glance at Le Xiaolian on the bed, seemingly afraid of disturbing her who was lost in sweet dreams

Bang! It turned out to be Jiang Shuo Liu! He was dressed in a well-tailored white tracksuit, his soft chestnut hair elegantly resting on his forehead. Absently fiddling with the light, fluttering letter in his hand, his black-and-white eyes, bright as a clear spring, fixed intently on Le Xiao Lian, while his lips curved into a sly, malicious smile.

Shen Xuechi lowered her head, making it difficult to discern her emotions

Three

Well then, let's have pork tenderloin!

Le Xiaolian stood in place, overwhelmed with excitement, her mind elsewhere

Jiang Shaoliu wrinkled his handsome nose at Le Xiaolian, raised the letter paper in his hand, and said, "So you care so much about love letters? This can't be your first one, can it? Haha, Little Kele, your luck with the opposite sex is truly not ordinary! Which guy, who doesn't wear glasses when going out, would take a liking to a woman like you, who has so many flaws?"

Le Xiaolian suddenly felt at peace; she lowered her head and fell into a deep sleep that was as dense and comfortable as a cloud.

Caution

Clang! The same pair of chopsticks has once again intertwined with hers

I have been silently following you for a long time. From the moment I accidentally stepped on your face at Bailin, I realized that I had developed an irreplaceable and profound interest in you. We have experienced many events that transcended ordinary friendship. Do you remember the time during the Double Ninth Festival when you fell into a pit while climbing but insisted on reaching the finish line? Do you recall when I dressed as a dogwood mask and danced with you? Do you remember when we bought handmade cookies by the roadside and escaped from the urban management officers?

Do you remember when we worked together to sweep the entire Star Alliance's snowfall? Do you remember all those pleasant or unpleasant little things between us? Little Cola, every little moment that has happened between us is like the sparkling pearls you dropped, treasured in my heart. I will never forget every minute and every second spent with you. Now that I see you have entered the 9 handsome through your own efforts, I sincerely feel happy for you. Please remember our promise to never give up and never admit defeat.

Now that I see you have entered the 9 handsome through your own efforts, I sincerely feel happy for you. Please remember our promise to never give up and never admit defeat, maintain the best mindset to achieve the goals you set for yourself. I will always stand by your side to support you! I have high hopes for you, fighting!

Ah! Jiang Shuo Liu, how dare you underestimate me! I, I Le Xiao Lian, have always been quite popular!

"No problem, there are guest rooms available," came the voice of Shen Xuechi. Although it sounded somewhat muffled amidst the waves, one could still discern the concern in her tone.

A voice as melodious and beautiful as the morning breeze passing through the cherry blossom trees emitted a sound laced with disdainful laughter

At the entrance of the Shen family villa, the silver light illuminates everything in exquisite detail

River, the river flows...! ... Thank you! I will definitely cherish this! If one day the Earth is destroyed, I will also disappear with this letter...! Woe is me... ...

What happened?" Wen Zhenhai stopped in his tracks, turning back in astonishment.

Wen Zhenhai nodded with a smile: "Then, goodbye"

Quickly, Shen Xuechi returned to his usual expressionless demeanor, though his ears were still slightly flushed. He simply said, "I have finished speaking, goodbye"

The boy, blushing like a shy little rabbit, cautiously took out a neatly sealed letter from his pocket. The seal was adorned with a heart shape, and with trembling hands, he presented it to Yu Hanyan, holding it out in front of her.

How reassuring it is... I truly wish time could forever remain at this moment... With Jiang Shuo flowing, with light snow, with the cold autumn night, with the occasional Xun... I am truly so happy...

Yue Linxuan flicked her long, waterfall-like hair and said in a tone of utter disdain, "You are simply a toad wishing to eat swan meat! If you want to pursue the Smoke Princess, perhaps in your next life, no, even in your next life it will be impossible!"

Suddenly, a refreshing breeze brushed against Le Xiaolian's face, which was as hot as a hot water bottle. A slender, white hand unceremoniously snatched the red envelope from his hand and began to read it aloud without saying a word.

Happy times always pass quickly, and amidst the steam of the hot pot, time flows swiftly

Flow, you!

Shen Xuechi did not respond at all, but in her mind, two large characters filled with dark energy were strongly emitted to the surroundings: What for?

Liu, you cannot say that! How could someone as handsome and charming as me, the Starry Gale Whirlwind, possibly have a bad character?" Xiao Yanfeng immediately clenched his fists and roared. His head, adorned with nearly vertical vegetable leaves, almost reached the ceiling

"Little Cola, how have you been?" Jiang Shuo Liu lowered his head, extending a hand to gently lift Le Xiao Lian's face, softly calling her name in a tender voice, his silky and smooth fingers lightly brushing against her forehead

What, what three

Shen Xuechi stared blankly at the chopsticks in her hand. With an upbringing characterized by elegance and courtesy, even when eating hot pot, each person had their own broth. This was a situation she had never encountered before.

Le Xiaolian held another plate and walked ahead to lead the way. Upon hearing Jiang Sholiu's question, which was filled with anger as if he had been shot, she could only roll her eyes at him helplessly. Leaning in close to Jiang Sholiu's ear as if revealing a secret, she said: "Don't worry, we are talking about the senior that Shi Xun likes."

I don't eat this," Jiang Shuo replied succinctly, "Give me a small cola, and add something else.

Shen Xuechi's pale complexion, as indifferent as sleep, revealed a hint of intriguing interest.

This student, may I ask which school you are from? Your height and weight, family background, the rankings of your last three overall school grades, how many foreign languages you understand, your proficiency in chemistry, swimming, basketball, and so on, please report all such personal information at your earliest convenience

The first letter of my life, take a look!

I thought I was watching a live crosstalk performance!" Le Xiaolian said mischievously, curling her lips, as she piled the chopped vegetables onto two plates and handed them to Jiang Shuliu, "The hot pot base is almost ready, please help me take this out.

That is simply bad luck. "Wen Zhenhai followed closely behind.

One

"Stop! Classmate Le Xiaolian, please be sure to accept my heartfelt intentions!"

Endure, endure, endure! Le Xiaolian, considering that he wrote you such a touching letter last time, you absolutely cannot turn against him immediately

Le Xiaolian raised her head again to look towards the door, where she saw Jiang Shuli leaning against the doorframe, his legs crossed, and his pair of eyes, bright as stars, slightly narrowed as he scrutinized them carefully

"Haha, Onion Head, do you still consider yourself a shining man?" Le Xiaolian leaned over, casting a scrutinizing gaze up and down at Xiao Yanfeng with a mischievous glint in her eyes

Zi zi zi zi--zi zi zi zi--.

You indeed eat a lot. At the same time, Jiang Shuo Liu immediately cast a glance like a flash of lightning!

This fellow suddenly appeared without a word! Alas, I might as well find a hole to bury myself in!

Le Xiaolian suddenly realized as if struck by a revelation when a hammer struck into the palm of his hand. This was because he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, just in time to see Yu Hanyan being blocked in her path by a boy dressed in a blue school uniform

No complaining, beware of the hand knife

Who dares to disturb the Snow Queen

Hey! How come you all are huddled together again? This is too much!" Guessing wrong thoughts, Zheng Zhenwei, trembling as he picked up a meatball, transformed his anger into a roar.

Fool, hurry up and catch it

In between, Xun let out a gentle sigh, holding onto Le Xiaolian's hands that were exposed outside the blanket with one hand, while leaning down to softly kiss her forehead. After a long while, he slowly straightened up.

The second letter is a crimson cherry wine

"Le Xiaolian, Shen Xuechi, why are you two still standing at the library entrance when everyone else has left?" A clear voice brought Le Xiaolian back from her reverie

Le Xiaolian's eardrums were still roaring like an airplane because of the big guy, her fingers stiffly clenched by her side, feeling somewhat at a loss

Le Xiaolian's forehead instantly revealed a prominent vein, as she suppressed her anger and reached for the hot pot with her chopsticks once again

This is clearly not ripe yet! Are you out of your mind, stupid cola? Change it for me!

Apologies. The owner of the pair of chopsticks, Shen Xuechi, quickly retracted the chopsticks, and her cheeks instantly turned redder than the crab meat in the plate

A large droplet of sweat hung from his forehead, while a thick pile of exercise books was extremely disordered on the two seats. Some were scattered to the side, while others were precariously stacked together. Meanwhile, Shen Xuechi, buried in the pile of books, had long been obscured from view by the volumes.

self-inflicted punishment

"Senior?" Shen Xuechi's eternally unchanging iceberg-like face revealed a hint of surprise

The first love letter resembles a declaration of war from a terrorist.

On a chilly autumn night, Han Qiu smiled as she looked at Le Xiaolian, unable to resist the urge to reach out and pinch her braided hair, her eyes sparkling and enchanting like the starry sky, filled with a look of affection.

Sweet

Classmate Le Xiaolian? ! '' The boy, seeing that Le Xiaolian did not respond, exploded another sound by his ear

Shi Xun rolled up his sleeves, appearing exceptionally serious.

Under the bright lights, a resolute look shone in Shen Xuechi's eyes, "I feel that you resemble someone very much."

At that moment, she stumbled and fell into the pot of soup that was still boiling with hot liquid

Hmm. Shen Xuechi stopped two steps in front of Wen Zhenhai, and under the bright lights, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks

Le Xiaolian was immersed in a kitchen larger than that of an ordinary household, wearing an apron dusted with flour. She busily flitted about the kitchen like a gust of wind, washing vegetables, picking greens, and chopping ingredients, her entire being brimming with energy as if she had been recharged

Le Xiaolian held an enormous kitchen knife and said, "Ah? Then thank you, please help wash the vegetables! Just rinse this under the faucet until it's clean!"

Shen Xuechi quickly raised his head, and in his gem-like beautiful eyes sparkled a light of surprise and joy. His tone finally showed some fluctuation: "I will."

In order to celebrate, let's have another party. Shen Xuechi looked at the two excited individuals, stroked her chin and pondered for a moment, then proposed.

"Liu, let Xiao Lian sleep here tonight." This was the voice of Wen Zhenhai

You underestimate him too much. Shen Xuechi calmly reached a conclusion filled with wisdom

Le Xiaolian looked at Yu Hanyan's back in surprise, unable to believe it, and whispered to Shen Xuechi.

I really didn't expect him to return to the school library to study on the weekend; I thought he would have a tutor teach him at home instead

The inscription lacks a signature, only depicting a pattern of an angel pendant. Although it consists of just a few strokes, it captures both form and spirit perfectly

Exclamations sounded simultaneously from both sides, as one hand on the left and one hand on the right grasped the falling Le Xiaolian, who was toppling forward

Ding!

Only Xiao Yan Feng remained there, emitting a mournful wail akin to that of Dou E: "How infuriating! Why does this lord always guess incorrectly? Why is it that every time, this lord manages to pick up everything smoothly by himself? Why does this lord not have such coincidences?"

Well, someone also gave me a love letter? ... It's my very first one ... ! ... But with such an eye-catching bright red color, I seem to be completely unable to feel happy about it? ! What should I do, what should I do? Should I accept it or not?

By the way, where is Shi Xun

Wen Zhenhai smiled noncommittally, and Shen Xuechi's face turned slightly red again. "I didn't know that you, Shen Xuechi, would also use such an outdated and inefficient way of flirting."

"Stop being so verbose, just eat! Your fish balls are already cold!" Jiang Shuo Liu tapped the top of Le Xiao Lian's head with the tip of his chopsticks

On a chilly autumn night, standing beneath the camphor tree by the flowerbed, it seemed as if the refreshing breeze was also captivated by his beautifully picturesque profile. His dark hair gently brushed against his flawless angelic face, resembling a fairy that had suddenly descended from another world, appearing under the soft glow of the setting sun, allowing the sunset to cast a shimmering halo around him. However, that perfect face, which had not been seen for a long time, now appeared somewhat weary. His eyes, as clear as autumn water, sparkled with a hint of information as he quietly gazed at them from a distance. He resembled a fairy that had suddenly descended from another world, appearing under the soft glow of the setting sun, allowing the sunset to cast a shimmering halo around him. However, that perfect face, which had not been seen for a long time, now appeared somewhat weary. His eyes, as clear as autumn water, sparkled with a hint of information as he quietly gazed at them from a distance.

Thank you for your kind offer, Shen Xuechi, but there is not enough time to prepare for the party now! On a chilly autumn night, Han Qiuyue smiled faintly, inadvertently helping Le Xiaolian out of her predicament

Since he likes to eat meat, I will just pick some vegetables instead

Oh! Oh! Oh! This style is a love letter! Someone has sent a love letter to Xiaoxue!

A powerful drowsiness overcame her, and Le Xiaolian involuntarily closed her eyes. In the darkness, she felt Jiang Shuliu's scent, more pleasant than perfume, brushing against her face

Le Xiaolian grimaced at the thick stack of notebooks, her heart sinking to the soles of her feet in frustration, her eyes turning into two swirling vortices, endlessly spinning in their sockets

Wen Zhenhai turned around. His tall figure cast a long shadow under the light, moving gracefully, yet evoking an indescribable sadness. Shen Xuechi stood silently in place, watching him depart, like a white lotus blooming in the night.

"You may eat." The owner of the other pair of chopsticks, Wen Zhenhai, retracted his chopsticks and gave a slight smile towards Shen Xuechi

Four hours later, Le Xiaolian and Shen Xuechi dragged their weary footsteps, resembling hunchbacked old men supporting each other. With their bloodshot eyes wide open, they trembled as they staggered out of the library.

"It smells so good!" Le Xiaolian's eyes sparkled as she stared at the bubbling hot pot, picking up her chopsticks, "I won't hold back!"

Shi Xun seemed not to have heard, placing the washed vegetables into the plate, and coldly said: "The vegetables are washed, I will take them over." After saying this, without waiting for Le Xiaolian to respond, he directly carried the plate and intended to leave.

I apologize. Shen Xuechi quickly withdrew her hand

... ...

Clang! At that moment, two chopsticks shot out with lightning speed, simultaneously pinching it.

Not bad. Shen Xuechi's eyes lit up

Jiang Shaoliu, however, ignored the frantic threats, snorting disdainfully through his nose. He intended to return the letter to Le Xiaolian as casually as tossing away a leaf. Then, with his head held high and one hand in his pocket, he left gracefully like a star on an outing.

"This sentence should be said by me." Wen Zhenhai said softly to Shen Xuechi

Xiaoxue, must we open it now?

The second time one likes is for those whom one occasionally dislikes

Le Xiaolian seems to be very tired! A gentle voice interrupted the gaze contest between the two. Han Qiuyue stepped forward to examine Le Xiaolian and said thoughtfully.

Jiang Shaoliu stood beside him, arms crossed, ignoring Xiao Yanfeng's incessant murmurs. He looked up at the tranquil night sky, where the weather was clear and countless stars twinkled. His eyes, more beautiful and bright than the Big Dipper, shifted from the window to the living room, their gaze flowing, and he remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, he pushed him aside and floated out of the door like a gust of wind, followed by a faint voice coming from outside: "There is no need to add so much vinegar when eating hot pot"

"But what exactly are you two scheming about?" Jiang Shuo stared suspiciously at Le Xiaolian's back, protesting as he walked while holding a plate, "Did that bastard really ask you about your wishes? Did you really tell him?"

Le Xiaolian swallowed the last piece of vegetable leaf, patting her round belly with satisfaction like a pig preparing to roll: "I am full! I could burst!"

"Good, come feed me!"

Le Xiaolian shivered all over, like someone suddenly awakened from a dream. Dazed, she turned around and, upon focusing her gaze, suddenly exclaimed in delight: "Senior Han Qiuyue!"

"Give it back to me! How can you casually read someone else's letter!" Le Xiaolian came to her senses, jumping around like a monkey unable to reach a banana, trying to snatch the letter paper from Jiang Sholiu, her little braids starting to blush with embarrassment

I am very grateful for your hospitality this evening; I had a wonderful time

The speed of communication in the information age can sometimes be hard to imagine. In less than an hour, everyone had gathered at the Shenjia Villa in Tangchen Garden

Excerpt from "The Illusory Country of Lotus" Category: Belonging of the Heart

"You're welcome," Shen Xuechi said淡淡的.

As soon as Shen Xuechi's voice fell, a loud shout erupted like a bomb thrown into the crowd, resounding behind Le Xiaolian

Let us have hot pot! It is more lively than a party, and it is also much more convenient

Le Xiaolian cast a sympathetic glance at that boy, sighed, shook her head, and said: "Xiaoxue, he is so pitiful, being humiliated like this in public"

Shen Xuechi was secretly pondering as the chopsticks in her hand reached towards a floating green vegetable in the pot

Senior sister? ! '' Jiang Shuo quickly grasped the key points.

In the white and red broth, fish balls, fatty beef rolls, enoki mushrooms, and vermicelli are swirling, emitting an enticing aroma that makes one's mouth water. A round, bouncy beef ball floats in the broth, appearing and disappearing.

Jiang Shaoliu stood at the door without moving, showing no sign of yielding. In his pitch-black eyes, sparks flickered with a warning that was intermittently bright and dim, "What are you discussing?"

Hmm. At that moment, Xun Mian reluctantly responded with a sound, not even raising his head, merely focused on washing the vegetables, seemingly not very interested in this topic

After a long while, Wen Zhenhai was the first to speak

Goodbye

Little Cola, you truly are a gluttonous and sleepy little pig

Le Xiaolian's limbs seemed to be equipped with powerful motors, happily bouncing around on the chilly autumn night. "Senior, you have finally returned! We have been waiting for you! Where have you been? It is truly wonderful to see you again! Great, now all 9 handsome ones are finally gathered together!"

The two students were chatting happily! Before the words had even left their mouths, a meaningful voice was heard, "What interesting things are you talking about? Please tell me as well"

Shen Xuechi shrugged, her expression somewhat unpleasant. Le Xiaolian was sandwiched in the middle like a sausage, her head bobbing like a rattle as she glanced at the chilly autumn night and then at Shen Xuechi, when suddenly a brilliant light flashed in her bright, sparkling eyes

I, I, I ... ...

It seems that Xiaoxue has truly developed a fondness for hosting parties! ... However, her peculiar understanding of the concept is that as long as people are gathered, it constitutes a party

Love letter

On a chilly autumn night, Han Qiu said with concern: "During this period, Xiao Lian has been studying too intensely. Suddenly relaxing will lead to such results."

I have completed organizing my study notes

Just as Le Xiaolian let out her final roar, several days had passed since the party held by Shen Xuechi. The siege had long since come to a conclusion, and with the midterm exams approaching, everyone was busy preparing for their studies. Even the 9 handsome boys had temporarily set aside their training sessions for the siege team, returning to a normal student life.

After a moment of awkward silence, the owners of the two hands, Shi Xun and Jiang Shuo Liu, glared at each other across Le Xiao Lian. Their two pairs of equally bright eyes, like precious gems, locked in a fierce gaze, with two sharp, fiery stares clashing in the air, sparking bursts of dazzling light

Yu Hanyan smiled faintly, and before she could speak, Yue Linxuan was already rolling her eyes, resembling the most stringent examiner in the world, closely scrutinizing that boy

After speaking, the two individuals left with a series of silver bell-like triumphant and arrogant chuckles, departing with a flourish, leaving the boy standing there in stunned silence, holding the love letter that had never been sent, shedding tears of sorrow while squeezing his own acne in a fit of frustration.

What? Jiang Shuo was astonished

Since just now, he felt that something was amiss, but he could not pinpoint the exact reason. Jiang Sholiu once again surveyed the vast living room, which appeared quite normal, as the maids of Shen Xuechi were orderly tidying up the mess left by the hot pot.

Hai, don't take advantage and then act innocent! Hmph, how could a man as dazzling as I am possibly have bad luck?!" Xiao Yanfeng displayed an angry expression, fueled by his theory of indignation, as he retorted at the calm-faced Wen Zhenhai.

I have just met Mr. Lanyuan. I just saw both of you. " Han Qiuyue revealed a smile as gentle as the moonlight.

Le Xiaolian's eyes were wide open, staring unblinkingly at Shen Xuechi

Le Xiaolian held her belly and laughed heartily, watching the boy with a face full of terror being carried away by Xiao Yan Feng, who was clawing and flailing like a person holding a small chicken.

Shen Xuechi remained unmoved, his gaze fixed straight ahead. Le Xiaolian noticed a change in his expression, and immediately after, another boy dressed in the Deya school uniform blocked their path! "Excuse me, may I ask if you are the Snow Queen?" The boy's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes darted around like a shy little deer, unable to meet Shen Xuechi's piercing gaze.

Knock knock knock—bang bang bang—clang clang clang

Le Xiaolian blushed as she clenched her fists, her ears began to turn red and shine like two cooked beef rolls

Is Le Xiaolian settled in? Wen Zhenhai stood quietly at the entrance of the villa, watching as Shen Xuechi's slender figure moved silently after sending Le Xiaolian to rest

"I am full and sleepy." Shen Xuechi quietly approached, reached out a hand to lift Le Xiaolian's face, took a glance, and then calmly reached a conclusion.

"Yu Hanyan." Shen Xuechi suddenly stopped and said coldly

"Continue with the questions." The calm voice of Shen Xuechi came from behind the stack of books

For a moment, neither of the two spoke, and an ambiguous atmosphere, akin to silk, flowed between them

At that moment, Shi Xun paused while washing the vegetables, then淡漠ly curved the corners of his mouth: "I haven't thought about this issue yet; let's discuss it after the tower assault is over"

A thick stack of something was thrown in front of Le Xiaolian, stirring up a billowing cloud of thick smoke. Le Xiaolian rubbed her eyes and found that it was yet another pile of practice questions thicker than bricks

A strange feeling surged in Jiang Shuo's heart, as if a bright flash of lightning had suddenly cut through the darkness of the night. He almost instinctively rushed towards Le Xiaolian's resting room.

Ah... then thank you! Le Xiaolian mechanically extended her finger, foolishly accepting the love letter that resembled an invitation card, her face immediately boiling with steam like water coming to a boil.

Slightly tipsy

Oh, please stop shouting, let me think...

The only difference is that the 9 handsome individuals have all become celebrities, and while walking on campus, one often hears screams from classmates, as well as greetings filled with admiration from completely unfamiliar students

Shi Xun glanced at Jiang Shuo Liu with an expressionless face, his tone showing no fluctuation: "We are discussing a matter that only I can know, the wish of Le Xiaolian"

Wuwu—no, that's right, as one of the 9 handsome ones, my midterm exam results absolutely cannot be lower than the top ten in the entire school. Huhaha, I must complete all the exercises, even if it means exhausting myself to death in the library...!

Yay! So, in order to celebrate the return of the senior on this chilly autumn night! And also for the gathering of the 9 handsome individuals, let us set off towards hot pot!

I do not eat, change!

The reading room of the library was quiet and serene, even on the weekend, filled with students who had come to study diligently. Le Xiaolian and Shen Xuechi were among them, occupying a large square table piled high with books.

This insatiable fellow, sigh, I really want to give him a sharp chop on his forehead! ... It drives me crazy ... ... Ah, but forget it, after all, he is the wealthy young master, I, Le Xiaolian, will not hold it against him ... ...

I endure, I endure... Here, a vegetable, fully cooked, now you should eat it!

A burly boy, towering like a door, stood menacingly in front of her, as if brandishing a gaudy wedding invitation, proudly presenting a large envelope with a red background and golden text right under Le Xiaolian's nose.

"Hai actually ran off alone in advance, how ungrateful." In the living room of the villa, Xiao Yanfeng was looking around while muttering to himself.

Le Xiaolian rubbed her ears, which were almost deafened by the noise, and emitted a strong brainwave of "Help, help" towards Shen Xuechi

"Is there something wrong?" Yue Linxuan stood in front of Yu Hanyan, asking in an overbearing manner

Hello, classmate Yu Hanyan. The boy blocking Yu Hanyan's path appeared youthful and innocent, with a few prominent marks of youth on his forehead. At this moment, his face was flushed, and his voice trembled like paper scraps in the wind

A knowing smile emerged on a chilly autumn night: "It is a very warm suggestion, thank you all."

"Wait a moment." Shen Xuechi suddenly made a sound of retention

Jiang Shaoliu stood outside the door, as if struck by Medusa's petrifying gaze, his entire body stiff and cold

Uh! I... I... Le Xiaolian vaguely wanted to indicate that she could still move, but she found that even her voice was no longer under her control, and she could only emit a muffled low sound

Dear Classmate Xiaokela, hello

This, this..." The boy took out a neatly folded letter from his bosom, which was burning hot against his chest, and with trembling hands, he presented it to Shen Xuechi.

Everyone turned their heads in response, and they saw Xiao Yan Feng, resembling a legendary summoned beast, frantically squeezing out from the crowd behind. He was exhaling fierce anger through his nostrils, jumping around like a monkey with a scorched bottom, and shouted at the boy: "Hey, that guy who sent the love letter! Do you dare to have a serious talk with me, Xing Gao Xiao Xuan Feng, alone in the boys' restroom? Ah, do you dare?"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yanfeng wanted to raise his fist towards Le Xiaolian, but as soon as he saw Jiang Sholiu sitting beside her like a prince, he immediately withdrew his hand.

Hmph, unable to answer anything? With such a low level of competence, you still wish to pursue our Smoke Princess?

Then, that little Xue, is she waiting for the senior to have time..." Le Xiaolian recalled the party hosted by Shen Xuechi last time, and a large drop of cold sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead

The first person I liked was someone from my dreams

What? Le Xiaolian quickly hit the brakes, his heart still racing as he looked at his nose, just one centimeter away from colliding with Shen Xuechi's occiput

The boy responded foolishly, casting a pleading glance towards Le Xiaolian, but he too appeared completely bewildered, having no idea what Shen Xuechi was mumbling about

On a weekend afternoon, a gentle breeze sweeps through the tranquil Star Alliance campus, where the lush green branches and leaves of the trees sway lightly, producing a rustling sound, as if it were a delightful and melodious concerto.

Neither of the two spoke again, each picking up other items and silently eating their vegetables with their heads down

On this chilly autumn night, due to matters concerning the school, Le Xiaolian has already left to rest, Wen Zhenhai has also departed from the Shen residence, and Xiao Yanfeng is muttering to himself nearby, while the host, Shen Xuechi, is nowhere to be seen

Classmate Le Xiaolian, I have fallen in love with you! If we cannot love each other, the Dead Sea will become shallower, the Yellow River will change its course, and the Himalayas will turn into a flat plain! Let me love you, otherwise, the giant pandas will begin their hibernation, the salamanders will fly into the blue sky, and the baiji will crawl towards the Taklamakan Desert! If you can love me, the world will immediately be at peace, and all terrorists will be doomed! Le Xiaolian, if you do not want to become a sinner of the world, please agree to date me! If you can love me, the world will immediately be at peace, and all terrorists will be doomed! Le Xiaolian, if you do not want to become a sinner of the world, please agree to date me! ... ... Hahaha, is this guy just showing off how much he reads newspapers? What poor writing!

Rumbling!

Le Xiaolian blinked, momentarily taken aback, and suddenly reached out her damp right hand to pat Shixun's shoulder with force, shaking her head with abundant sympathy: "Although I understand that Senior Su Youhui is not someone just anyone can pursue, I have high hopes for you, Shixun! If you don't seize the opportunity soon, Senior Su Youhui will likely be taken! Tsk tsk, I'm not trying to criticize you, Shixun, but you really need to put in the effort!" If you don't seize the opportunity soon, Senior Su Youhui will likely be taken! Tsk tsk, I'm not trying to criticize you, Shixun, but you really need to put in the effort!

The door was slightly ajar, and the faint moonlight, accompanied by the swirling mist of the night breeze, filtered through the soft, sheer white curtains, illuminating the entire room. A pristine and comfortable large bed was placed in the center, with Le Xiaolian snugly nestled in the soft bedding. On the chair beside the bed sat a serene and beautiful figure, Jiang Shuliu, whose lips curled into a mocking smile as he quietly observed.

"Jiang Shuo Liu, you haven't eaten much!" Le Xiaolian placed a crab stick into his bowl, her face glowing with a mix of shyness and excitement, "Try this, it's really delicious!"

Snap

Do you need help? At that moment, Xun's beautiful face, resembling a snow lotus, peeked in, and she offered a gentle, soft smile to Le Xiaolian

This, this is for you, Yu Hanyan. I have admired you for a long time, and you are also one of the famous 9 handsome individuals. Therefore, may I become friends with you...?

In the splendid living room, a large crystal chandelier sparkles on the intricately carved ceiling. Everyone gathers together, sitting around a steaming hot pot, with a smooth sandalwood table filled with a dazzling array of fresh ingredients. Laughter and cheerful voices fill the air, accompanied by the sounds of bowls and chopsticks, playful banter, and lively chatter, all rising and falling in harmony.
