IISET Chapter 56

I’m In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes Chapter 56: Second battlefield (24)

 

When Bai Xiyue went to class the next morning, Wei Changxi didn’t bring her breakfast or talk to her.

 

Bai Xiyue guessed that it was because Wei Changxi woke up in the morning and found the bed cold. He didn’t know how long she had been gone, so he was in a bad mood.

 

Children’s moods are inherently fickle.

 

There are reasons for their joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. They are not like adults who can break down and cry for no reason.

 

Bai Xiyue didn’t go to comfort him or talk to him, which made Wei Changxi even angry. He was so angry that he didn’t even ask Bai Xiyue to have dinner with him.

 

Yu Peng tried to persuade him but it was useless, so he stopped talking.

 

After all, this is someone else’s emotional issue, and he doesn’t really understand it, so it’s better not to force it.

 

Bai Xiyue didn’t care and went out to find a place to eat.

 

As a result, she and Wei Changxi seemed to have entered a delicate cold war period.

 

At night, Wei Changxi sat in an Internet cafe playing games. The light from the screen shone on his face, revealing his ugly expression.

 

“Brother Xi, you’re still angry.”

 

Wei Changxi sneered and Yu Peng immediately turned off the microphone.

 

Wei Changxi didn’t understand. He was so obviously angry, but Bai Xiyue didn’t even ask a question.

 

Damn it.

 

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

 

Why does he always go to Bai Xiyue? Can’t Bai Xiyue come to coax him?

 

Wei Changxi was sitting in the Internet cafe, his mind completely not on the game.

 

Did she deliberately not come to see him?

 

Was she just waiting for him to stop talking to her?

 

Wei Changxi was angry, but he couldn’t get angry at anyone else, so he was very annoyed.

 

“It seems like the evening self-study is about to end. It’s time to go home. Brother Xi, why don’t you go pick up sister-in-law? What if she leaves with someone else?”

 

“Let her go, it’s none of my business.”

 

Wei Changxi slammed the table, took out a cigarette from his pocket with a gloomy face and put it in his mouth.

 

Yu Peng thought it’s useless for you to say angry words in front of me. If your girlfriend really runs away with someone else, you won’t even have anywhere to cry.

 

But Yu Peng thought again, Wei Changxi is not him, maybe he doesn’t think so. Wasn’t the girlfriend he dated before also pretty good? That girl was quite clingy and good-looking, although not as pretty as the one now.

 

Forget it, he should just play games.

 

Yu Peng put on his headphones and began to concentrate on playing the game.

 

Wei Changxi looked at his phone absentmindedly, waiting for Bai Xiyue to send him a message.

 

But no, there was nothing.

 

She was really cruel. If he didn’t talk to her for a day, she would ignore him too.

 

Wei Changxi didn’t know what he was doing, but he couldn’t swallow his anger.

 

He pounded the table and forced himself to concentrate on the game.

 

At this time, Bai Xiyue was on her way home.

 

When they were halfway there, the system suddenly spoke.

 

[System]: Host, the target of mission number one is currently in danger, but the risk factor is small.

 

Chu Lan?

 

[Bai Xiyue]: What happened to him?

 

After the system explained it, Bai Xiyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

 

The system said that on his way home, Chu Lan encountered three bad youths who asked for money, but it was not a big problem because the three men had no weapons. Chu Lan was just beaten and is currently being beaten.

 

Although laughing now was inhumane and simply insane, Bai Xiyue still couldn’t help laughing out loud.

 

The fact that Chu Lan was beaten looked very funny.

 

To be honest, for a man like Chu Lan who is a bit arrogant and always looks down on others, getting beaten seems to be a very distant thing for him.

 

Bai Xiyue didn’t delay and rushed to the place the system said.

 

She would still be happy to see Chu Lan being beaten twice, but it would not be good if he was beaten severely.

 

When Bai Xiyue arrived, Chu Lan had already finished being beaten.

 

The boy’s school uniform looked a little gray and dirty. He leaned against the wall, touching the broken corner of his mouth, with a cold look on his face.

 

Even though his face was a little bruised and looked very disheveled, it did not detract from the boy’s demeanor. Instead, it erased the feeling that he was out of reach.

 

Bai Xiyue thought that it was a good thing that those three didn’t hit Chu Lan’s face. After all, Chu Lan’s face was still quite good-looking.

 

When Chu Lan saw Bai Xiyue, the vigilance on his face dropped.

 

“Why are you here?”

 

“I came here for something, and saw a few people coming out cursing. I wondered who the unlucky guy was, so I decided to come in and take a look. I didn’t expect it to be you.”

 

Bai Xiyue was not lying. When she came over, those three people just happened to be passing by.

 

“Do you want to laugh?”

 

Chu Lan’s voice was cold, and he looked at Bai Xiyue with his arms folded.

 

“How could that be? I really sympathize with you.”

 

Bai Xiyue suppressed her laughter and shrugged her shoulders.

 

“Actually, I wanted to do this at first, but when I saw your handsome face, I didn’t do it.”

 

Bai Xiyue was actually talking about the original owner.

 

At the beginning, the original owner was angry and blocked Chu Lan with the intention of teaching him a lesson, but she still didn’t do it. After all, the other party was a so-called good student with excellent character and academic performance, and he was also a boy. If several girls took action, they might not end up well, so they just annoyed him and entangled him. In addition to these reasons, Chu Lan’s face was also a very important reason.

 

“Then should I thank you for your kindness?”

 

Chu Lan was in a bad mood and spoke with sarcasm.

 

“Okay, your injury isn’t serious, right? If it’s serious, go to the hospital.”

 

Chu Lan was a little uncomfortable with her sudden switch to caring mode and brushed off the dust on himself.

 

“No.”

 

“I see. If you don’t want to go to the doctor, why don’t you have a midnight snack? I’ll treat you.”

 

“OK.”

 

Chu Lan agreed, dusted himself off and walked out.

 

If it was in the past, Chu Lan would not agree.

 

He wouldn’t say a single word, and it would just pass by people indifferently.

 

He never wastes his time on irrelevant people, but now, he is very curious about Bai Xiyue.

 

He said they have not yet been clarified.

 

He wanted to dig out more from this person, and was curious about how much she could reveal that he didn’t know or guessed when she fell to the ground.

 

Bai Xiyue went to a barbecue restaurant and stood in front of the freezer to order barbecue.

 

Chu Lan frowned and looked at the environment, standing aside without moving.

 

“Haven’t you ever been to a place like this?”

 

Bai Xiyue looked at Chu Lan’s frown and thought it was possible.

 

The environment of this store is actually quite good. Chu Lan’s brows look as if they could pinch a fly to death. If it were a night market, Chu Lan would probably just turn around and leave.

 

“My parents said, don’t eat dirty things.”

 

Chu Lan had never eaten barbecued fried chicken or anything like that because his parents didn’t allow him to and he had no interest in it.

 

“Did your parents teach you not to pay attention to people who are not worth making friends with?”

 

Bai Xiyue teased, choosing what she wanted to eat.

 

Chu Lan did not refute, as if he tacitly agreed.

 

“That’s funny. So your tendency to get beaten is inherited?”

 

Bai Xiyue ordered a few more skewers, and when the portions were about the same, she handed them to the boss and pulled Chu Lan into the store to sit down.

 

Chu Lan looked at the woman holding his hand and thought that this feeling was actually not bad.

 

Bai Xiyue’s hands were small, so he should be able to hold them in his palms.

 

The two of them sat down opposite each other. Bai Xiyue propped up her face and looked at Chu Lan until Chu Lan felt a little uncomfortable.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“I’m just wondering if your parents are successful people.”

 

Ignore people who have no value. What a cold-blooded view of education.

 

Chu Lan frowned, seeming unwilling to mention it.

 

The indifference that is inconsistent with his age seems to be an impenetrable barrier. Chu Lan lives too selfishly.

 

“Chu Lan, have you never seriously liked someone?”

 

Chu Lan raised his eyes and looked at Bai Xiyue, but still said nothing.

 

There is no need to like this emotion, Chu Lan has always thought so.

 

Just like he did before, he would even take the initiative to cut off such trouble.

 

But now he wanted to get entangled with Bai Xiyue, and that emotion made him unable to control himself.

 

He simply let himself get closer. After all, there was still half a year left. After the college entrance examination, they would go their separate ways. Everything would end then and there would be no more happening later.

 

Chu Lan didn’t say anything, and it was boring for Bai Xiyue to talk to herself. She felt like she was waiting for the barbecue to be served.

 

When the barbecue came up, Bai Xiyue took a big bite of the squid. It was spicy and fresh, and the squid was refreshing and chewy, with cumin, chopped green onion and chili powder. It was a delight to take one bite.

 

The aroma was overwhelming, but Chu Lan remained unmoved.

 

“Try it?”

 

Bai Xiyue held a skewer of lamb in front of Chu Lan, but Chu Lan shook his head, unmoved.

 

“It’s boring if you do that. I might as well eat it myself. Why do I ask you to do that? Just eat a bite.”

 

Chu Lan frowned and took the kebab.

 

He took a tentative bite, his movements quite reserved.

 

After chewing and swallowing, he took the second bite silently.

 

In a large-scale “It’s so delicious” scene, Bai Xiyue watched Chu Lan finish eating the mutton skewer, looked at the plate with restrained eyes, and pushed it over.

 

“You hurt your hand?”

 

When Chu Lan stretched out his hand, there was a scratch on his wrist.

 

“It was accidentally rubbed.”

 

Bai Xiyue touched her pocket and remembered that she still had the band-aid that Qiao Song gave her when she was injured downstairs of Qiao Song’s building last time.

 

“Childish.”

 

Chu Lan commented.

 

“Just make do with it, it’s cute, isn’t it?”

 

Bai Xiyue put SpongeBob Squarepants on Chu Lan’s wrist, blew gently, and patted both sides of the Band-Aid.

 

Chu Lan inexplicably engraved this scene in his heart. The girl’s smile under the light was warm, but he had a very strange and unfamiliar feeling in his heart, so sore that it almost hurt.

 

This memory mixed with the aroma of food melted into my mind.

 

When Chu Lan returned home, he saw his mother still waiting for him.

 

“Why did you come back so late? What’s wrong with your face? Did you have a fight with someone?”

 

His mother’s voice was a little sharp and shrill, and she frowned in displeasure.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

“Okay. Did you have a fight with someone? Wait, what’s that smell in your mouth? What did you go to eat? Haven’t I told you many times not to put anything dirty in your mouth? Luckily your dad is asleep, otherwise he would have made you realize your mistake when he saw you like this. Go brush your teeth quickly, and then write a letter of apology. I’ll put it in the living room before school tomorrow morning… Forget it, why go to school? If you go to school like this, people will point fingers at you. I’ll ask for leave for you. You can go when you’re better. Study online at home for two days. I’ll ask your classmates to bring your homework for you.”

 

Chu Lan listened to his mother’s chatter absentmindedly. When she finished, he went into the room and closed the door.

 

After washing up, Chu Lan looked at the grinning SpongeBob in his hand and his eyelashes trembled.

 

If it were in the past, he would think about the content of the exercises calmly, listening to his mother’s words with one mind and two hearts. Sometimes he would even write down the questions he had just thought of after returning to his room, but now he suddenly desired to see that person.

 

It would be nice to have a barbecue together.
