Chapter 534: Chapter 350: Acting on Behalf of Elder Sister_2
"Brother Nan, are you busy? I’ll wait for you," Cui Yu said.
Guo Kunnan said, "Bring the umbrella, hurry, hurry!"
Cui Yu couldn’t make sense of it and had no choice but to leave alone.
Then, Guo Kunnan stood at the entrance of the stationery store, looking at the falling rain outside.
In the past, whenever he encountered a pretty girl, he never dared to muster the courage, even the contact information for Xu Yan was obtained for him by Kaiquan; but now, things were different, Guo Kunnan had plucked up his courage.
That girl, needless to say, was definitely a student at Fourth Middle School, and now with the rain falling outside and her carrying an umbrella, she would surely head back to school.
Guo Kunnan then could take the opportunity to ask the girl to share her umbrella with him.
Just thinking about him and the pretty girl sharing an umbrella, strolling romantically in the rain, Guo Kunnan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Guo Kunnan, like a loyal dog, stood at the door and continued to wait as the rain grew heavier.
"The heavier the rain, the harder it is for her to refuse me!" Guo Kunnan felt joy rather than worry. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Let it rain, let the downpour be even more fierce!"
As he predicted, the rain got heavier, until finally the curtain of rain blurred his vision.
Time ticked away slowly, and Guo Kunnan waited and waited, but the girl still did not come out.
"It doesn’t matter, the more pressing it is, the easier it is for me to find an excuse!"
In the end, with only three minutes left, the girl still hadn’t come out.
Guo Kunnan finally panicked.
Then, the bell for class rang!
Guo Kunnan couldn’t bear it any longer, he plunged into the heavy rain, and got drenched like a drowned chicken.
...
In the afternoon, Bai Yuxia brought snacks again.
This time it was ice cream rolls, and she seemed to really like ice cream.
Bai Yuxia brought six ice creams, and after sharing them with Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong, Chen Siyu, Yang Sheng, and herself, there was one left.
"Ask your sister to come and get this one," Bai Yuxia told Chen Siyu.
They usually went out to eat together and got along well, even though they were not in the same class, Bai Yuxia did not forget about her.
When sharing the ice cream rolls, Dan Kaiquan silently watched with a corner of his eye.
He had been feeling down recently and thought of himself as a man who had aged beyond his years, maturing from childish to grown-up, from impulsive to calm; he had grown too much.
Catching a glimpse of Bai Yuxia sharing the ice creams added sadness to his heart:
"You are the dream that I agonize over, and I am someone you can take or leave."
His eyes, that had seen much of life, gradually revealed melancholy; Dan Kaiquan felt that his sorrowful gaze could move any girl in the world.
Chen Siyu crunched the roll loudly, the combination of the cold, sweet but not cloying ice cream was extremely tasty.
"Bai Bai, where did you buy this?"
Bai Yuxia said, "I tried making it myself."
"You can make this?" Chen Siyu couldn’t imagine it; in her mind, ice cream was always something you bought.
"Look, the matcha ice cream in your mouth was made with matcha powder," Bai Yuxia said with a light smile.
The ice cream rolls were quite small, and Chen Siyu finished hers quickly; she licked her lips, still wanting more.
"I’ll call my sister to get the ice cream," Chen Siyu said.
Bai Yuxia said, "You could send her a QQ message."
"I want to tell her in person," Chen Siyu said seriously, then left the classroom.
A few minutes later, Bai Yuxia saw her sister, Chen Siqing, enter the classroom.
"Bai Bai, I heard from my sister that you brought ice cream?" Chen Siqing said, surprised.
"Uh-huh, I made it myself," Bai Yuxia said nonchalantly, sharing the last ice cream with her.
"Where’s your sister?"
"She’s in my class helping me with my homework," Chen Siqing answered naturally.
Chen Siqing happily finished the ice cream, and when she was about to leave, she expressed her thanks, then left classroom 8 in a dignified manner.
It was a while before her sister Chen Siyu came back, but when she looked at Jiang Ning, she always felt a bit guilty.
Jiang Ning thought to himself, "Clever, truly clever."
...
On Friday afternoon, after two classes, it would be vacation, and the students were in high spirits, with even more smiles on their faces than usual.
Cui Yu stood next to Jiang Yanan, straightened his back, and shouted loudly,
"Who else can compete with me in solving the Rubik’s Cube?"
Following his lead, a ’Rubik’s Cube’ craze sparked in classroom 8; what started with only Huang Yuzhu endlessly twisting one, turned into several boys solving them, and even Yu Wen picked up a cube and couldn’t stop fidgeting with it.
Yesterday, Cui Yu bought a Rubik’s Cube, and following a tutorial video, he practiced tirelessly late into the night until he finally mastered turning all six sides.
"Turning a Rubik’s Cube isn’t difficult," Dong Qingfeng said as he approached Cui Yu, coolly standing on one foot on a stool.
Previously he couldn’t be bothered to twist the cube, but now that there were girls involved in the class, Qingfeng naturally had to show off to each one.
Seeing Dong Qingfeng exuding such a strong presence, Cui Yu felt overshadowed and didn’t want to seem inferior. He defiantly stepped with both feet onto the stool, standing tall and looking down at Dong Qingfeng with disdain.
Shen Qing’e had a headache. Could they really be competing over this?
Dong Qingfeng and Cui Yu competed in turning the Rubik’s Cube.
Cui Yu was utterly defeated.
Dong Qingfeng won the temporary right to choose his partner.
After guiding Yu Wen and Jiang Yanan, not satisfied with the status quo, he decided to take the initiative.
With the Rubik’s Cube in hand, Dong Qingfeng found Chen Siyu and encouraged her to try turning the cube.
Chen Siyu didn’t know how, but she was eager to try.
Dong Qingfeng put the cube on the table, generously letting her play with it, then suddenly declared, "Wait, wait a second!"
He ran to the middle row to borrow some tissues and alcohol spray from Huang Yuzhu.
Right in front of Chen Siyu, he turned the cube, sprayed it with alcohol, and wiped it down with the tissues.
The cube had been handled by many boys and was covered in grime. How could Qingfeng bear the thought of pure girls touching such filth?
Chen Siyu started turning the cube while Dong Qingfeng hovered nearby, occasionally giving instructions.
Chen Siyu turned it for quite a while without success and felt a bit disheartened.
She wanted to reset the cube and try again.
She asked, "Xue Yuantong, do you know how to restore the Rubik’s Cube?"
Xue Yuantong proudly claimed, "Easy, one minute."
"Here you go."
Xue Yuantong took the cube and swiftly manipulated it with his hands.
Seeing this, Dong Qingfeng was secretly amused. Xue Yuantong might excel in studies, but solving a Rubik’s Cube isn’t just about being book-smart.
Besides, restore it in one minute?
He laughed and said, "Xue Yuantong, that’s a third-order Rubik’s Cube, you think in one minute..."
His words trailed off, his voice gradually fading until it was virtually inaudible.
Xue Yuantong handed the uniformly colored cube back to Chen Siyu: "Done."
Dong Qingfeng was dumbfounded. How fast was that? Just a dozen seconds?
...
While others were turning Rubik’s Cubes, Wu Xiaoqi was spinning a basketball. He sat motionless, like a statue.
His basketball spinning skills had become more refined. The ball was so stable on his finger it looked like it was floating in air, making others think it was effortlessly suspended there.
The reason he had reached this level of skill was simple—his desk mate was Pang Jiao, and if he didn’t spin the ball well and it disturbed her, he wouldn’t be able to withstand her thunderous fury.
Adversity breeds heroes, and under immense pressure, Wu Xiaoqi was a born prodigy.
Nearby, Guo Kunnan said, "Brother Cui, it’s not that I’m betraying you, it’s just that girl is too attractive!"
"When she flipped her hair in front of me, how could anyone resist?"
Meng Gui shook his head and said, "That move isn’t good, it’s very provocative."
Cui Yu commented, "Indeed, last time I was at your place watching movies, as soon as that move happened, it signaled things were getting physical."
Guo Kunnan criticized, "You two have been watching too many movies. That’s clearly just to avoid blocking the camera."
Cui Yu: "Are you sure?"
...
Pang Jiao was discussing with Wang Yan Yan, "Yanyan, do you know what the prettiest action for a girl is?"
Wang Yan Yan didn’t know.
Pang Jiao said, "I saw it online, flipping your hair is ranked number one."
Wang Yan Yan: "Really? How come I didn’t know?"
Pang Jiao withdrew her short, thick fingers from the edge of the desk: "Let me demonstrate."
She then lifted her hand, wearing a gentle smile, softly and slowly ran her fingers through her coarse hair, tucking it behind her large ear, and even cast a seductive glance, revealing a charming expression.
Wu Xiaoqi watched, stunned, as Pang Jiao’s broad face was fully revealed.
A phrase suddenly came to his mind: "a pig trying to woo."
His previously statue-like body finally started to tremble.
Pang Jiao: "Yanyan, do I look pretty?"
