“Anyway I gained’t allow you to say sure! You’re not allowed to say sure!”

“Okay.” Ji Guichen reached out and frivolously hugged a sure little demon who was about to blow up and stated gently: “For those who say so, then I gained’t say sure.”

Seeing the 2 of them learning diligently, the system thought for a bit and couldn’t give you a method to assist them, so it quietly put two non secular fruits in Bai Zhi’s palms:

“Nephew you are able to do it! Sustain your power!”

Bai Zhi stuffed the non secular fruits into his pocket and answered the system closely in his thoughts:

“Okay uncle!”

With the encouragement and help of Ji Guichen and the system his two most treasured folks, Bai Zhi felt like he was bursting with motivation. He glued himself to his seat till he totally accomplished a day’s price of questions, surprising the group of youthful brothers.

The group of youthful brothers couldn’t assist revealing expressions of enlightenment.

Seeing his expression, Ji Guichen couldn’t assist placing down his e book and poking his nostril:

“Let’s go, we’re going for a stroll to calm down.”

Bai Zhi made a noise in response, rubbed his sore shoulders, and adopted Ji Guichen out.

The hour was late. Ji Guichen went to the cafeteria and obtained two parts of meals. Bai Zhi dodged it as traditional: “I don’t like consuming.”

“How are you going to not eat dinner after working all day? There’s nonetheless night self-study left, are you able to maintain on?”

Seeing this, Ji Guichen frowned barely: “Fruit has nutritional vitamins, which is fairly good. For those who don’t wish to eat I gained’t pressure you, however keep in mind to eat strong meals if you get residence.”

“En en.” Bai Zhi nodded like a hen pecking rice and watched Ji Guichen eat whereas strolling subsequent to him.

As soon as the 2 of them completed consuming, Ji Guichen led Bai Zhi on a stroll across the campus.

The falling autumn leaves have been sprinkled everywhere in the college, and the bottom in all places was golden. Paired with the autumn dew, it was extraordinarily lovely.

Ji Guichen quietly held Bai Zhi’s hand as he walked to a shady space devoid of individuals. Like thieves the 2 of them stored watch in all 4 instructions, utilizing their uniforms to cover their two palms that tightly held one another. As they stepped on the fallen leaves with specific warning, it made crunching noises.

Bai Zhi’s head was lowered. He felt Ji Guichen’s heat by means of their intertwined palms and couldn’t assist hooking up the nook of his mouth. Step-by-step he very fortunately crunched the fallen leaves on the trail.

Ji Guichen tilted his head to have a look at this small motion of Bai Zhi’s. With out even reminding him, he walked peacefully with him like this.

The daylight filtered by means of the gaps between the leaves, and its mottled sample contained some heat. A light-weight breeze gusted by and blew the fallen leaves round. From the bushes got here the sound of rustling leaves.

Ji Guichen reached out and smoothed down Bai Zhi’s collar. Lifting his hand, he glanced at his wristwatch:

“Let’s return.” 

Bai Zhi’s response was virtually unnoticeable. Elevating his head, he smiled at Ji Guichen.

Ji Guichen who was planning on leaving abruptly couldn’t transfer.

His gaze trembled a bit. He glanced at Bai Zhi considerably uncomfortably after which instantly seemed in one other route.

Bai Zhi felt just a little unusual so he reached out to shake Ji Guichen’s wrist. After being shaken a bit, Ji Guichen instantly got here again to his sense, coughed a number of instances, after which slowly stated:

“Sooner or later, let’s go for a stroll day-after-day?”

“Positive.”

Bai Zhi instantly agreed.

Listening to this, Ji Guichen smiled barely, and his expression lastly turned much less stiff. He let loose a shallow breath:

“Let’s go.”

After they returned to night self-study, Bai Zhi switched to follow issues of a unique topic. Once in a while Ji Guichen would verify his progress, and after he was assured he additionally busied himself along with his homework.

By the point the fourth interval of self-study was over, it was already previous eleven at night time, and the air was a bit chilly. Bai Zhi turned up the collar of his uniform and waited for Ji Guichen so they might depart college collectively.

When the 2 of them strolled by means of the campus full of scholars going residence after college, they behaved like a pair of fine associates. After they exited the college gate and turned a number of corners, Bai Zhi quietly pulled on Ji Guichen’s hand after which rigorously watched for his response as soon as he was executed.

Seeing that Ji Guichen hadn’t meant to refuse in any respect, Bai Zhi sighed in reduction. Simply as he was about to say one thing to kill time, he was abruptly taken to the aspect.

Along with his traditional expression, Ji Guichen pulled Bai Zhi nearer. The chilly wind blew by means of his physique, he immediately unzipped his uniform and propped open the outer layer to dam Bai Zhi from the wind.

Bai Zhi was sluggish to react. By the point he realized, Ji Guichen had already walked him residence.

“Are you going to take a detour again?”

Bai Zhi was just a little nervous.

“It’s simply across the nook.” Ji Guichen knocked his head a number of instances: “Thanks on your laborious work at this time, foolish!”

“I’m not foolish!” Bai Zhi hmph’d.

Ji Guichen’s eyes have been smiling: “Okay okay you’re not, return and relaxation nicely.”

“En.” Along with his head lowered, Bai Zhi was too embarrassed to confess that he began to overlook Ji Guichen even earlier than they parted and will shuffle his ft, making rustling noises within the course of.

“En.” Bai Zhi responded: “Keep secure in your method again.”

“Okay.”

“Textual content me when you get residence.”

“Okay.”

“If one thing occurs, name me.”

“Nephew, nephew, let Ji Guichen return. The system will robotically detect it if he has any issues, you don’t want to fret.” The system couldn’t stand to observe these two any longer.

Bai Zhi: “Oh yeah, I forgot.”

The little demon who had been dazzled by love was reluctant to talk: “You return, keep in mind to textual content me.”

“Okay, I’ll keep in mind.” Ji Guichen replied very significantly. Solely after seeing that Bai Zhi didn’t intend to ask extra did Ji Guichen slowly flip round and depart.

Bai Zhi waited till he might not see Ji Guichen’s again. Solely then did he slowly go upstairs. Abruptly his telephone vibrated.

With one hand he opened the door and entered his room, and with the opposite hand he opened his telephone. The message it confirmed immediately brought on his brows to furrow.

He hurriedly entered his room, referred to as out the system, and entered fight mode.

“Uncle uncle, somebody needs to rob me!”

“Fear not, nephew.” The system held a small biscuit between its lips to seem like a boss: “Eradication of the enemy, the 1st step: verbal assault.”

“I’m going to name her an fool!” Bai Zhi typed aggressively.

The system pulled him again directly: “Get again right here for me! Can your preventing energy be any decrease?”

Bai Zhi: “Isn’t ‘silly’ used to curse at folks?”

“Swearing at others will solely decrease your social standing.” The system snatched the telephone and inserted the information cable into its physique: “Watch uncle.”

Bai Zhi leaned over. The system was unendingly busy.

Lady: “Hey little brother, I’m Xiao Hong from Class Seven.”

System: “Oh.”

Lady: “…Little brother do you have got time proper now for me to ask you a math query?”

After a really very long time, a message got here from the lady’s aspect: “Little brother is so warm-hearted. If I have been your girlfriend I undoubtedly gained’t enable myself to be coaxed by you.”

“Simply say…” The system laughed:

“Wishful pondering, I’m not blind but.”

After sending, he deleted the lady’s contact info.

The system defined to Bai Zhi who had a face filled with bewilderment: “Xiao Hong’s phrases have been meant to sow discord between you and Ji Guichen. Not solely that, she additionally stated these items understanding Ji Guichen has a companion. That exhibits that this individual doesn’t have an excellent character, so it’s greatest to delete them. Sooner or later you also needs to remember at college.”

Bai Zhi nodded: “I’ll!”

“Now that Ji Guichen has proven his expertise and walked out of the shadows, he’ll obtain increasingly more consideration sooner or later. Xiao Hong is just the primary.” The system reminded him: “Nephew, if you would like Ji Guichen to change into even higher, you gained’t be capable to keep away from assembly much more individuals who like him. Are you able to bear it?”

Bai Zhi hung his head: “So long as he’s good, I’ll be glad.”

“I consider in him.”

The system’s face was filled with fear: “Hai… along with your full lack of scheming, if it weren’t for assembly somebody who genuinely preferred you and was additionally sensible, it actually could be simple so that you can be deceived into oblivion.”

Bai Zhi: “No method would I be deceived, Ji Guichen is the most effective individual on the planet.”

The system was sad: “Then what about me?”

“You’re the most effective machine.”

“That’s extra prefer it.”

The following day after going to highschool, Bai Zhi advised Ji Guichen all about this incident. After listening briefly, he wasn’t bothered:

“You’ll be able to take care of it nevertheless you need, so long as you maintain your self. Did you eat breakfast?”

Bai Zhi nodded. Simply as he was about to take out a e book from the drawer for the morning studying, he by chance touched one thing else.
