Chapter 108 It's Hard to End a Situation Without Getting Married
"Didn't Jiang Tianyao lose the bet? Why is she still jumping around in front of Shi Sui?"
"She just said that Shi Sui should go back to the Jiang family. What happened? Was Shi Sui kicked out of the Jiang family?"
"It seems that ever since the incident involving Jiang Tianyao and her brother came to light, I've seen Shi Sui living at school. So, is Shi Sui being kicked out of the Jiang family related to her?"
"..."
The scrutinizing gazes from the onlookers made Jiang Tianyao feel embarrassed and uneasy.
Why say it's related to Shi Sui when Shi Sui was kicked out of the house because she hit her brother?
She had come over out of kindness, wanting Shi Sui to go home with her, but was instead told to get lost several times. No one had ever humiliated her like this before, and Jiang Tianyao was filled with grievance and indignation.
Yan Ze emerged from the crowd of onlookers, quickly grabbed Jiang Tianyao, and dragged her away: "Big sister, didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?"
Shi Sui watched as Jiang Tianyao was dragged away, then turned back and looked at Chi Yan with gratitude: "Thank you, classmate. When I told her to get lost, she acted like she couldn't understand human language. It's your words that work."
It feels great to be protected by my older brother without having to lift a finger.
Chi Yan stood behind her with his hands in his pockets, seemingly casually saying, "If you stay by my side, she won't cause you any trouble."
Shi Sui walked to his side: "Of course." She was his little sister, after all.
Chi Yan lowered his eyes, thinking she was so well-behaved, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.
Bystanders who hadn't gone far: Wow! A head pat!
Yan Ze, who had just returned from seeing Jiang Tianyao off, chased away the onlookers: "What are you looking at? What's so interesting?"
Seriously, everyone's blocking his way, but he wants to stand in the front row and watch the show!
Shi Sui didn't think there was anything wrong with being touched on the head. After all, Chi Yan had touched her head several times before, and she had also seen Yan Ze being touched on the head (and then blown up) by Chi Yan.
"Chi Yan," Shi Sui asked him softly, "Are you free this weekend?"
Chi Yan met her gaze. The girl's eyes were full of expectation, and also cautious, as if she didn't want to be rejected.
"I'm free." He answered without hesitation, even if he wasn't free, he could still find the time.
"Can I invite you to go shopping?" Shi Sui didn't intend to beat around the bush and told him directly, "It's like this, you gave me a lot of things before, and this time I got into the top ten in my grade and the school gave me a scholarship. I also want to give you something, but I don't know what else you like besides desserts, so can you take me shopping?"
Chi Yan was stunned.
The girl was looking up at him with sincere eyes, the light in them seeming to shine directly into his heart, her raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttering.
He didn't think anything of it when he gave her the gifts; he was simply being kind to her. The money was nothing to him, and he forgot about it soon after.
But I never expected that she would remember it all this time.
The scholarship money the school gave her must have been very important to her, but the first person she thought of was him.
Oh no, Chi Yan felt completely under Chi Yan's thumb.
It will be difficult to end things if we don't get married.
Seeing his silence, Shi Sui assumed he was complaining about the small amount of scholarship money.
Surely the school scholarship isn't even enough to buy Chi Yan a pair of socks?
However, she also has 80 from the system, which together should be enough to buy socks, right?
Shi Sui tugged at Chi Yan's sleeve and told him, "I only have 100 million. If I exceed the advance, then I'll just have to wait until I have more money next time—"
Before she could finish speaking, Chi Yan grabbed her hand and pressed it down, his ear bleeding, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can we go shopping both days this weekend?"
Yan Ze covered his mouth, a doting smile on his face: Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!

The Xinghua campus forum exploded today.
Once the class placement test results were released, a series of juicy stories emerged, enough to make you feel overwhelmed.
First, there was the bet between Jiang Tianyao and Shi Sui. Shi Sui, with her seventh-place ranking in the grade, slapped the faces of those who had mocked her grades on the forum and won the bet.
Her wager was that Jiang Tianyao wouldn't appear in front of her.
This is truly a bolt from the blue for gossip lovers. Perhaps we'll never get to hear about Jiang Tianyao and Shi Sui again. Putting aside everything else, Jiang Tianyao's past gossip has been quite exciting.
Then came Chi Yan's academic performance, which shocked the entire school.
Isn't he a top-tier academic underachiever?
[Brother Chi just disdains exams; when did he become a poor student?!]
As soon as the post was published, everyone realized: Oh right, he just doesn't go to school or take exams, he must be secretly studying at home.
Finally, a huge bombshell!
[Chi Yan didn't go to the international class, he actually went to the senior class! What's he after?!]
2L: Hehe, isn't it obvious what he's after? Shi Sui is in the Evergreen Class, he's off chasing after his wife.
3L: No way, Shi Sui really won over the Demon King?
4L: Putting everything else aside, she's good-looking and academically gifted. Aside from her family background being a bit lacking, if it weren't for Chi Ge, I would have pursued her.
5L: Now I regret it. I should have pursued her as soon as school started.
6L: Please, have you all forgotten that you all mocked Shi Sui at the beginning of the semester?
7L: Please, have you all forgotten that Shi Sui's initial target was Chi Yan?
8L: Please, have you all forgotten that someone asked for Shi Sui's WeChat?
9L: Please, have you all forgotten that Chi Yan likes Pei Shuoxun?
10L: But I think Shi Sui and Xu Chaomu are a better match.
11L: Please, the person upstairs has messed up the formation.
12L: Please, but I think Shi Sui and Xu Chaomu are a better match. I used to see Shi Sui visiting the academic genius all the time. Now that they're in the same class, they don't have to be in a long-distance relationship anymore.
13L: Shi Sui and the academic genius are together?
14L: ? ? ?
15L: This morning, the academic genius invited Shi Sui to be his deskmate. If Chi Yan hadn't interfered, she definitely would have agreed.
16L: So Chi Yan still won?
17L: That's ridiculous. How could Chi Yan possibly like that kind of woman?
18L: You're the one who's joking. What kind of woman is Shi Sui? Tell me, she's just from an average family. Does Brother Chi care about family background?
19L: @12L, get lost! Xu Chaomu is just a weak bookworm. How can he compare to our Brother Chi? How could Shi Sui possibly like him!
20L: Those who spread rumors, die! Chi-ge and Shi-sui are already locked in! If you keep spouting nonsense, you can expect to be expelled!
After the battle, Yan Ze tilted his neck to relax.
He's been stationed on the forum today; from now on, he's Chi Ge and Shi Sui's love bodyguard!
Shi Sui was unaware of the forum; her mind was completely occupied with socks.
When she moved dorms, Chi Yan gave her a lot of things. After accepting them, she felt uneasy. So now that she has earned her first million, she wants to pay them back. Although it's not much, every little bit helps.
But now Chi Yan says she wants to go shopping for two days.
Good heavens, isn't it said that guys hate shopping the most?
However, the most important thing right now is money. It would be too embarrassing if there was no money in the card when you tried to swipe it.
Thanks to Jiang Tianyao for mentioning Gu Chenyi, Shi Sui couldn't help but think: [System, system, has Gu Chenyi's allowance arrived this month?]
The system completely understood her meaning: [Make money! Make money! Gu Chenyi's living expenses of 20 yuan have all gone into his bank account! All gone in one go!]
Shi Sui asked in confusion: [System, you've changed. Why are you even more excited than me about how you're getting the male lead's money?] Do you have some bad intentions?
The system has discovered that the despicable passerby N is still lurking around, and has reappeared near the host with a glittering money-grubbing appearance. Now that things have come to this, it is determined to use money to manipulate the host's heart!
System: [No, this system has always prioritized the host's interests, forming a united front. This system has always been extremely generous.]
[Then repeat after me.] Shi Sui slowed her speech. [Gu Chenyi is a bad guy, let's work together to bankrupt him.]
The system obeyed: [Gu Chenyi is a bad guy, let's work together to bankrupt him.]
Shi Sui was happy and satisfied: [That generous system, hurry up and issue the tasks!]
The generous system: [Special Task: Practice calligraphy by copying model texts to develop beautiful running script. Task Reward: 20 RMB in Gu Chenyi's bank account.]
Shi Sui: [??]
System: [What's wrong, host?]
Shi Sui was unhappy and dissatisfied: [Practicing calligraphy?]
System: [Yes, neatness is very important on exam papers, especially in Chinese. Host, your Chinese composition is too messy and unsightly. Regular script takes too long to write quickly, so this system suggests you practice semi-cursive script.]
"But," Shi Sui sighed, "this isn't like you said, where you suddenly spend 20 yuan on Gu Chenyi. Practicing calligraphy is so slow."
[...] The system disappeared at lightning speed.
