Chapter 29

Lin ChuSui turned her head in the “South City No. 1 Middle School Belle Group” and sent a message: “I can confirm now, you're right @Zhang ChengYu, the genius is not as kind and harmless as he looks, he is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.”

Zhang ChengYu: “I didn't say that! You heard it wrong, it was Lu Chi who said it.”

Lu Chi: “It wasn’t me, I'm studying, don't tag me.”

Lin ChuSui: “Weren't you guys saying he was sinister before?”

Zhang ChengYu: “I didn't say it! The genius is kind-hearted, noble in character, and willing to help others. He is a role model for us.”

Lin ChuSui: “I'm not denying it, but from what I know so far, he has at least two personalities. One is my kind deskmate, the other is the sinister master, maybe even a serial killer. 【Shuddering】”

At this time, Zhang ChengYu finally sent a private message to Lin ChuSui: “Stop talking! Shut up!”

Lin ChuSui: “Why?”

Just as she spoke, she saw a message from Xiao Yan in the group: “I'm... the sinister master?”

Lin ChuSui: ......

“Admin @Lu TianBai, who invited him in again!”

Lu TianBai: “It was your brother.”

Xu JiaNing: “Because someone was recklessly leaking others' homework in the group. Homework is 'personal intellectual property', I think the person involved has the right to know.”

Lin ChuSui: “You're the most self-righteous person in the world!”

Hypocrite!

Xu JiaNing: “@Xiao Yan, take good care of your math workbook. She just took pictures of the answers and posted them in the group.”

Xiao Yan immediately turned around and picked up his schoolbag to check.

The schoolbag zipper was wide open, and the math workbook was crammed messily inside, obviously it had been touched by someone.

Xiao Yan put down his schoolbag, glanced around the room, his gaze lightly falling on the closet.

The room was completely silent, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Lin ChuSui’s heart was about to jump out of her chest, tense yet thrilling, as if she was filming a horror movie.

Xiao Yan retracted his gaze, then went to the balcony to put on a pair of pants. Before that, he was wearing very casual shorts.

After changing his clothes, he came to the closet and said softly, "Lin ChuSui, are you inside?"

Lin ChuSui covered her mouth tightly with her hand, eyes closed, not daring to make a sound.

"Listen to me, I'm the sinister master." Xiao Yan approached the closet, his pair of dark eyes gazing at the opening and closing seam of the closet: "Hiding in the sinister master's closet, aren't you afraid... that I'll lock the closet and keep you in there for the rest of your life?"

"Ahhh!" Lin ChuSui staggered and crawled out in a panic, leaning against the desk, looking at him in shock: "Don't come over!"

Xiao Yan's mouth turned up slightly as he looked at her: "Afraid of me?"

"I...I'm not afraid!"

Xiao Yan paced up to her and leaned in close to her: "Really not afraid?"

His thin lips approached her silently and effortlessly. His features were very aggressive. His long upturned eyes were even more profound in the night, carrying a hint of lazy desire.

Charming yet dangerous.

Lin ChuSui was provoked by his "beauty" until her face turned red and her ears burned. Ten thousand unhealthy thoughts flashed through her mind and her heart started thumping again.

Task progress: 26%, 27%, 28%...

Xiao Yan's mouth turned up slightly as he picked up the math workbook on the desk behind her and tapped her head with it: "Violating my intellectual property rights?"

Lin ChuSui's face was red. She glanced at him and honestly apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken your homework."

Seeing that she was as docile as a rabbit today, Xiao Yan asked again, "You suspect I'm the sinister master?"

"Who told you to... talk to yourself just now like no one else was here!" Xiao Yan explained, "If it was a split personality, the two personalities would not be able to have a conversation. You're thinking too much."

"That's not necessarily true."

Xiao Yan looked into her eyes and enunciated word for word, "Lin ChuSui, I'm very sure I don't have dissociative identity disorder."

Looking at how certain he was, Lin ChuSui also felt that she had seen too many mystery movies and was thinking too much.

She breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, stood on her tiptoes and patted his shoulder, casually saying, "I knew our kind deskmate couldn't possibly be the sinister master."

Xiao Yan's mouth turned up slightly, "But I was indeed talking to someone just now."

"Who was it?"

He enunciated word for word, "Have you heard of spirit possession?"

"......"

Lin ChuSui was so scared by Xiao Yan's wicked look that she immediately burst into tears and scrambled to escape the room.

Xiao Yan chuckled softly, suddenly feeling happier.

It turns out scaring little kids is so fun.

As he turned around, he saw a faint red stain on her white skirt. Xiao Yan called out to her, "Hey, when you were hiding in the closet just now, did you hurt yourself?"

Lin ChuSui looked back, "What?"

Xiao Yan pointed at her skirt, "There's blood on your skirt."

Lin ChuSui held up her skirt and saw the faint red bloodstain on the back, still not realizing what had happened: "But I'm not injured." The moment she finished speaking, Lin ChuSui felt something was off, flowing in her body.

At the same time she reacted, Xiao Yan also reacted.

In that instant, it was as if time had frozen. The atmosphere between them became extremely awkward.

Xiao Yan immediately averted his gaze, and awkwardly explained, "There might have been protruding nails in the closet, as long as you're not hurt it's fine."

His earlobes felt hot.

Lin ChuSui rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind to check, and as expected, Aunt Flo had arrived to visit her at a very inopportune time.

Counting the days, it was 3-4 days early!

Lin ChuSui sat on the toilet seat in despair, wishing she could just flush herself down the drain.

Any kind of social death scene could not compare to the chaos in her mind right now.

She even wanted to rush out and end her life together with Xiao Yan.

Ah!

Xiao Rongyue was passed out drunk right now, probably couldn't be woken even if thunder struck. She was extremely desperate as she sent Lu TianBai a message: "BFF, are you available to come over now and bring me some sanitary pads? I'm trapped in the genius's bathroom."

Lu TianBai: "Hahahahahahahaha!"

Lin ChuSui: ......

What a true BFF.

Lu TianBai: "Sis, I really sympathize with you. But my sympathy is not enough to motivate me to crawl out of my warm bed and cross half the city in this heavy rain to come save you. Deal with your own period yourself. 【Hehe】"

Only then did Lin ChuSui notice that it was raining outside.

It would definitely still be raining tomorrow too. She wondered if the marathon would be canceled, hoping it would be canceled.

But if it wasn't canceled, she would definitely still participate in wind or rain.

This was the first time in so many years that she had mustered up the courage to do something well.

Not just her monthly visitor, even if her legs were broken, she would still crawl to cross the finish line.

Just as she opened the delivery app to call for a delivery person, she heard the sound of the door opening. Xiao Yan had just gone out for a bit and seemed to have come back.

Soon, Xiao Yan's straight silhouette appeared outside the frosted door. The door knocked: "I've hung the stuff on the door, I'll be in my room reading now and won't come out. Call if you need anything."

She gave a low "umm".

Hearing his footsteps fade away and the door close, she waited a full five minutes before carefully opening the door a crack like a rabbit and swiftly taking the bag off the door, locking it again.

The bag contained clean underwear just her size, and several packs of sanitary pads and two packs of overnight underwear.

The sizing, length and brand were all perfectly catered to Lin ChuSui's preferences.

The awkwardness of her near social death just now was unwittingly defused, replaced by waves of inexplicable reassurance. A man who knows how to buy sanitary pads so well for girls, how could his grades not be good! How could he not be the top of his grade every time! How could he not be a genius!

Xiao Yan checked the closet, then used pliers to trim all the irregular protruding nails inside the cabinet.

But after everything last night, he felt like he had done something unnecessary and stupid.

Xiao Yan's cheeks felt hot, his mind muddled. He didn't know what exactly he was doing, so he just lay in bed to rest.

Soon, the bathroom door opened, the little girl tiptoed with very light footsteps, seeming to be looking for something.

Xiao Yan picked up the hair dryer and walked out. As expected, she was standing there with her wet hair dripping, looking like a startled rabbit with her big dark eyes staring at him in horror: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come out?"

He was a little dissatisfied as he held out the hair dryer to her: "Why did you wash your hair?"

"It was oily."

"My sister said..."

Oh forget it, he plugged in the hair dryer and beckoned to the little girl: "Come over and dry it off."

"Oh."

Lin ChuSui walked over to him, wanting to take the hair dryer, but unexpectedly Xiao Yan directly grabbed her damp hair and turned on the blow dryer.

"Hey?"

His hands were very clean and beautiful, with long slender fingers, and thin fair skin that revealed bluish veins on the back of his hands.

Lin ChuSui looked down at her own chubby little paws, there was no comparison.

She sighed, then her scalp was pulled taut by the hair he had grabbed: "Ow! Oh oh oh! Hot!"

Xiao Yan was not gentle at all, he yanked her over to face away from him, and helped her dry her hair: "No place to stay again?"

"Yeah, but this time it was sister Xiao who took me in voluntarily, so don't even think about charging me rent."

Xiao Yan laughed coldly: "I don't lack your little rent money."

"You don't lack it, you don't lack it. After all, the genius only needs to sell his beauty and take some photos to become rich and famous."

"Thanks."

"I'm not complimenting you! You're so...not virtuous at all."

"I remember you also wanted a photo with me, this licentious man."

"I just...wanted evidence to fight against obscenity! Ow! Hurts!"

Xiao Yan gripped her scalp tightly and pulled her closer to him, whispering: "Go on, tell me where I'm...obscene?"

With his handsome face so close, Lin ChuSui's mind started imagining all kinds of intimate scenes again.

You're not obscene, just very tempting.

She shyly averted her gaze.

Xiao Yan loosened his hand after drying her long hair. A few strands lightly brushed his face, faintly fragrant.

He didn't know why, but being with her, even just some playful banter, put him in a good mood.

Bearing heavy burdens for years, he rarely had moments this relaxing.

Lin ChuSui silently stood with her back to him, at just the right height to reach his chest.

Leaning against him in her thin clothes, she could feel the warmth of his skin.

Lin ChuSui took a deep breath, looking at the drizzling rain outside the window to distract her wandering thoughts.

"Xiao Yan, what did you go out to buy just now?"

"I bought some french fries."

"Do you like to eat french fries?"

"No."

"Then why did you buy them?"

"As an excuse that I went to buy pads for you, so you wouldn't feel embarrassed."

Lin ChuSui turned back to look at Xiao Yan, staring at him speechlessly: "Genius, since you made up an excuse, why reveal it?"

The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth quirked up: "Because I suddenly felt like embarrassing you again."
