On the first day of after-school training, the students were only confirmed on the participant’s list.
The teacher in charge of the first-year training had not yet arrived, so the students were lazy. The boys were already playing basketball, while the girls gathered together to talk about the popular TV series and handsome young actors.
Su Yi stood alone at the edge of the playground, leaning against the wall with one leg bent, looking up at a flock of migratory birds flying in the sky. The autumn sky was blue and high.
The voices of the girls not far away suddenly rose, and then quickly dropped as if they were deliberately suppressing it.
Su Yi noticed something was wrong, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Yan walking toward her, and then he was already in front of her.
“Didn’t you go home?” She asked in confusion.
Xiao Yan must have just done some exercise. The sleeves of his coat were rolled up, revealing a slender and strong forearm. His hair was a little messy, and a few beads of sweat oozed from his full forehead.
“I signed up for the 400-meter race.”
Seeing the two start talking, the girls spoke louder.
“Will Grandma wait for us?”
“I already called home.”
Su Yi nodded, looked up at the sky, and complained, “Have you already been called by the teacher? Our teacher hasn’t come yet.”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone whistled, “Girls in the first grade, assemble!”
Su Yi jumped up and just took a step, but then she remembered the schoolbag at her feet, so she turned back and prepared to put it on her back.
Xiao Yan said, “I’ll watch it.”
“I’ll be ready soon.” Su Yi ran away.
There were fifty or sixty girls gathered together, and it took a long time just to get them to line up. The whole process was accompanied by a buzzing sound.
Su Yi didn’t deliberately look for classmates in her class. She randomly arranged a position according to height and then stood still.
Coincidentally, Zhang Jiajia, the sports committee member of their class, happened to be next to her. She glanced at Su Yi a few times as if observing something.
Then, she asked, “Do you know Senior Xiao from the second year of high school?”
“Xiao Yan?” Su Yi tilted her head.
“It’s him. He just came over and the other girls were so excited.” Zhang Jiajia said, but she couldn’t help but look in the direction of Xiao Yan. Many people did the same thing with her.
Su Yi also looked back along her line of sight. Xiao Yan was picking up her school bag from the ground and patting the dust on the bottom.
“Is he famous?”
“Of course.”
Zhang Jiajia said again, “Senior Xiao gave a speech at our welcome party. All the freshmen know him. He has excellent grades, is handsome, and his family is rich. He is really rich! You don’t know how many people want to be known by him.”
Although students’ families had some money to study in this school, there was a difference between being rich and having a lot of money. Rich people were also divided into many circles.
For a family like the Xiao family, everyone in all circles was well-known, but it was not necessarily possible to get to know each other. Only some students with good family backgrounds had seen Xiao Yan at some banquets.
Su Yi nodded to show her understanding.
“Oh my god, he actually helped you carry your school bag!”
Zhang Jiajia stared blankly for a while, then suddenly turned to stare at Su Yi, and said in a questioning but very firm tone: “Could it be that you dumped Liang Hang because of Senior Xiao?”
Just as Su Yi was about to explain, Zhang Jiajia said again, “If that’s the case, then I can totally understand! For Senior Xiao, I’m willing to cheat! I can even turn into a spider!” (T/N: Oh my, this girl is so cute!)
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Su Yi had to interrupt, “I didn’t dump Liang Hang, and I’m not dating Xiao Yan. He and I are—”
“Impossible!” Zhang Jiajia obviously didn’t believe it.
She patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’m different from them. Although I envy you, I won’t be jealous of you. After all, I’m just a mortal. For someone like Senior Xiao, I can just think about it. If it really comes to me, I can’t handle it.”
Su Yi said with a smile: “I can’t handle it either. He is my brother.”
Zhang Jiajia froze as if she had been acupunctured. She was stunned and didn’t move for a long time.
The teacher in front had already started to call the names, and when the teacher called her name, she was startled and subconsciously shouted, “Here!”
The voice was loud and resounding throughout the playground, lingering over the school.
The others burst into laughter immediately.
Zhang Jiajia’s face turned red. She wished she could bury herself.
The teacher also looked at her for a second before continuing to call the name with a smile.
After a long time, she finally recovered. She tugged at her sleeves shamefully, still unwilling to give up, and asked Su Yi: “Did you just say that you are his sister? But I remember that Senior Xiao is the only one in his family.”
Su Yi said: “It used to be, but now it’s not.”
Zhang Jiajia said ‘Oh’ and didn’t ask any further questions. After all, for a family like theirs that was relatively well-off, anything could happen.
“By the way, you just said you didn’t dump Liang Hang, so are you two still together?”
Su Yi couldn’t help but sigh, “Why do you all think we are in love?”
“Because you always got together to do homework before.” Zhang Jiajia said as a matter-of-fact.
Su Yi was more matter-of-fact than her, “We are students. Can’t we get together just to study?”
“Uh…”
