IACF [QT] Chapter 23.3

Arc 1: Like You (3)

Advertisement

Since childhood, Xiao Yan had always been indifferent to everyone, while Xie Shengkai was always smiling. However, the elders seemed to like Xiao Yan more, so Xie Shengkai disliked him and thought that he was pretending.

Later, when the two boys grew up and went to school, one had good grades while the other just slacked off. The elders loved to compare them.

As the one who was compared as inferior, Xie Shengkai became even more unhappy with Xiao Yan.

Although he looked nonchalant and didn’t care, he was actually holding back in his heart and wanted to peel off Xiao Yan’s pretentious appearance and let people see his true appearance.

It was not that the two of them had any major grudges against each other, but they just seemed to be incompatible. Even at school, the two of them and their good classmates and friends were divided into two clearly defined factions.

Xiao Yan originally did not take Xie Shengkai seriously and did not care much even when he was provoked. Until today when he saw him talking to Su Yi, he felt a nameless fire in his heart, and the flame had not been extinguished.

“No matter what he said to you in the afternoon, you don’t have to take it seriously.” He said.

Su Yi shrugged, “He said a lot, but I didn’t listen carefully.”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then frowned, and said, “Since he said he likes you a little, he probably won’t just give up. He must have other plans. You should be on guard.”

“Like me?” Su Yi tilted her head.

“Is he going to pursue me? I don’t have time to fall in love with a kid.”

She looked like a little girl herself, but she called others as kids.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but curl his lips, and the anger in his heart dissipated.

However…

He looked at Su Yi’s profile. She looked up at the night sky intently, with a face full of yearning and expectation.

Xiao Yan savored her last words in his heart.

The next day at school, as soon as Su Yi stepped into the classroom, she was surrounded by girls.

“Su Yi, I heard that Xie Shengkai, a sophomore, confessed to you yesterday. Is that true?”

“It was Xie Shengkai! He is as famous as your brother in the second grade. I heard that he rarely comes to school. He is so mysterious. I haven’t seen him many times yet. How did you get to know him?”

“And it’s time to confess. Su Yi, you have done a great job of keeping it a secret!”

“Yes, yes, tell us quickly. Are you going to start dating?”

Several people talked at the same time. Su Yi finally broke through the encirclement with great effort and sat in her own seat. However, before she could sit firmly, she was stabilized by these girls again.

She had no choice but to say, “No acquaintance, no confession, no dating. That’s it.”

The girls were unwilling to believe it.

“Don’t deny it. Many people saw it yesterday.”

“If we had known earlier, we would have left later. Maybe we could have seen that scene.”

“I heard that when he confessed, Senior Xiao showed up, and he pulled you away unhappily. Oh my God, when can I get such treatment, let the two school idols fight for me? By then, my life will be perfect!”

“You’d better wipe your saliva. It’s dripping on your shoes.”

“What? Don’t you want to?”

The girls looked at each other and started laughing and making fun of each other again.

“First, you have to be as beautiful as Su Yi.”

“Second, you have to have Su Yi’s grades.”

“Finally, you have to have a brother like Senior Xiao.”

Several people paused and sighed in unison: “We don’t have one, so we’re just dreaming.”

They all sang the same tune, which made Su Yi laugh and cry.

“It’s really not what you think. He and my brother know each other. I met him for the first time yesterday. I don’t know why he said such misleading words when there were so many people around.”

After hearing what she said, Zhang Jiajia and the others finally calmed down and looked at each other.

Fang Yingying thought of something and frowned, “I’ve heard from others before that the relationship between the two school idols in the second year of high school, Xie Shengkai and Senior Xiao, is not very good.”

Another girl touched her chin and said, “That’s normal. Both of them are so handsome, but Xie Shengkai is handsome in a naughty way. You don’t know, when he smiles, I blush. Senior Xiao is different. He never smiles. He is like a flower on a high mountain. You can only admire him from afar and not desecrate him. I can’t even imagine him smiling. They don’t look like the same kind of people.”

“Not only that, I heard that they had known each other since they were young, and they didn’t have a good relationship before.”

“Hey, the entanglement is quite deep.”

“Wait… I feel something is wrong the more you talk. Look, Xie Shengkai and Senior Xiao have known each other since childhood, but they are not on good terms. Yesterday, Su Yi met Xie Shengkai for the first time, and nothing happened at first. But when Senior Xiao showed up, Xie Shengkai suddenly said something that made people misunderstand…”

Su Yi nodded and thought to herself, not bad, not bad, you guessed it right. That guy looked bad at first glance.

He just wanted to find trouble to make things difficult for Xiao Yan. It was not unfair at all that he was given the caterpillar yesterday.

As she was nodding, someone suddenly slapped the table, “He must like Senior Xiao and deliberately wants to attract his attention. This is a love-hate relationship!”

The girls suddenly realized.

And Su Yi was still confused. Just as she was about to ask what she said, she was hugged by someone.

“Oh my God, poor Su Yi, being used as cannon fodder by a scumbag. It’s too much!”

“That’s right. What a crap school idol. I’m never going to be a fan of his again!”

“I curse him for never winning Senior Xiao’s heart in his life. What a scumbag!”

Several people were filled with righteous indignation, then turned around, and hugged Su Yi with a loving look on their faces.

Su Yi was squeezed by them and couldn’t breathe, struggling hard.

So… What were you talking about?

Hmm, so soft.

    I deeply believe that if Su Yi was transmigrated into a GL novel she would bend at the speed of light if the right girl appeared (feeds her, cares for her, easygoing, pretty and specially soft – in all aspects) 🤣😭😭
