Chapter 7

Xu Zhilu found Shen Siyan’s behavior baffling. She immediately returned the money.

She added a message: Aren’t you afraid the owner of the bullfrog restaurant will come after you?

Shen Siyan: …Oh.

Xu Zhilu ignored him, turned off her phone, and pulled Xin An’an towards the classroom.

As soon as they entered, Xu Zhilu saw something on her desk.

She was momentarily stunned and looked towards her front desk neighbor, Chen Jinghan, who was reading a novel.

“Jinghan.”

“Ah?”

Chen Jinghan raised her head sharply to look at her: “What’s wrong?” ”

Xu Zhilu pursed her lips and asked softly, “Whose stuff is on my desk?”

Chen Jinghan looked at it, thought for a while, and said, “It seems that Shen Siyan put it here, I just saw him stop in your place when I returned to the classroom.”

After speaking, she looked at Xu Zhilu in surprise and said, “He didn’t tell you?”

Xu Zhilu lowered her eyes, staring at the thermal lunch box for a while, and shook her head, “No.”

Shen Siyan wouldn’t bother telling her about something so trivial.

Chen Jinghan nodded and returned to her novel.

Xin An’an was curious and pointed to the lunch box, asking softly, “What’s inside?”

Xu Zhilu looked at her.

“Wanna open it?”

“…Mm.”

Xu Zhilu didn’t hesitate and unscrewed the lid.

The lunch box had several layers. The top layer was rice; below that were well-balanced dishes, and the bottom layer was bone broth.

The dishes were nutritious and delicious, and the aroma that wafted out made people feel hungry.

Xin An’an exclaimed in a low voice, “It’s all your favorite foods.”

Xu Zhilu nodded.

Xin An’an wondered aloud, “Why didn’t Shen Siyan tell you earlier? What time did he arrive?”

Xu Zhilu shook her head. She didn’t know either.

Xin An’an pondered for a few seconds and then whispered, “Could it be that Aunt Liu asked him to bring it?”

“No.”

She said, “That soup is Aunt Shen’s specialty.”

She could recognize it; only Shen Siyan’s mother would add those ingredients when making soup. It was her secret recipe.

Xin An’an’s eyes brightened, and she was about to say something when Xu Zhilu interjected, “It must have been Aunt Shen who asked him to bring it.”

“…Not him personally?”

Without thinking, Xu Zhilu replied, “Definitely not.”

Xin An’an sighed, staring at the lunch box for a while. “Alright, so why did Shen Siyan come to school?”

“He said he was picking up something.”

Hearing this, Xin An’an didn’t ask further.

Xu Zhilu placed the lunch box in the corner and took out her phone to message Shen Siyan.

Xu Zhilu: Did you bring my lunch?

Shen Siyan: Mm.

Xu Zhilu: Thank Aunt Shen for me.

Shen Siyan: Mm.

Xu Zhilu stared at his curt reply and decided not to respond.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a new message from Shen Siyan.

Shen Siyan: Thank her yourself.

Xu Zhilu: Oh.

He wouldn’t even do her this small favor. It was clear how little he liked her.

Xu Zhilu sighed. How could she have been so naive and foolish before?

On the other side, Shen Siyan felt a sense of frustration from Xu Zhilu’s terse reply.

He snorted irritably, put away his phone, and walked away.

“Brother Yan, where are you going?” Cheng Song called out.

Shen Siyan suddenly stopped. He turned and looked at Cheng Song for a while. “What’s the afternoon class?”

Cheng Song chuckled, “Nothing important. Are you going out? Can I join?”

Shen Siyan smirked and said, “Sure.”

That afternoon, Cheng Song learned what it meant to regret.

He would rather stay in the classroom and listen to the boring lecture than be ruthlessly beaten.

“Brother Yan, stop, stop.”

He lay on the mat, panting, and raised his hand. “No more. I can’t take it.”

Shen Siyan smirked, looking down at him. “Is this all you’ve got?”

Cheng Song clutched his belly and said, “I haven’t trained professionally. How can I compare to you?”

Taking off his gloves, Cheng Song looked at him and asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Shen Siyan didn’t answer.

He turned and punched the hanging sandbag, trying to vent his anger.

Cheng Song watched from the side, shivering.

Luckily, Shen Siyan had held back earlier.

After Shen Siyan had vented enough, Cheng Song turned to him and asked, “Brother Yan, is something really bothering you?”

He patted Shen Siyan’s shoulder like an experienced elder and said, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. What’s there to fear? It’s just a temporary suspension. No big deal. You get to skip classes without needing an excuse.”

Shen Siyan lazily lifted his eyelids and asked, “Do you even need an excuse to skip classes?”

Cheng Song: “…”

He was just having a conversation.

They lay on the boxing ring for a while until someone called from the side, and they got up to leave.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Shen Siyan planned to leave.

As soon as he came out, he was stopped by someone.

“Hello.”

The girl in front of him, with a shy expression on her face, held up her phone and said, “You looked so cool boxing on stage just now. Interested in being friends?”

Shen Siyan responded coldly, “Not interested.”

The girl said, “Handsome, don’t be so cold. Just being friends, we can hang out here together next time.”

Shen Siyan paused and asked indifferently, “I looked cool boxing?”

The girl was stunned and nodded.

Shen Siyan walked away from the side, leaving a sentence, “I look cool hitting people too.”

Although he wouldn’t hit girls,.

The girl: “……….”

Cheng Song was speechless at how he wasted such a good opportunity, forced a couple of laughs, and apologized to the girl: “Sorry, my friend is in a bad mood.”

The girl’s face stiffened as she nodded.

Cheng Song put his arm around Shen Siyan’s shoulder: “Brother Yan, let me treat you to a meal.?”

Shen Siyan raised an eyebrow but did not refuse.
