Chapter 61

After playing CF and climbing half of the Wuzhu peak for whole afternoon, the school's original plan was to take them to the hotel for dinner after the trip.
"It's no fun going back to the hotel so soon."
A voice from the bus sounded.
Since someone spoke first, someone else also followed suit.
"Yes ah, it's still early, it's only five o'clock!"
"I can still play! How about we go play another game of the one we just played? This time I promise to live a little longer."
Another student suggested.
"It's no fun playing the same thing again. I heard that there is a farmhouse club near her, you can cook and barbeque by yourself. Anyway, everyone is hungry and it's also time to eat, let's go there instead!"
"Go, go, go, luckily I just learned to cook a few dish a while ago. I can make it for you to try."
"You know how to cook? Who are you bluffing?"
"What's not to know, just watch it on TV."
The things that teenager haven't done or experience were always fun and interesting for them to do, just like cooking by themselves.
And so they pestered Lao Yang to take them to the nearby farmhouse club.
Lao Yang looked at the group of kids with suspicion.
"Can you really cook?"
"We know how to grill! There are so many girls in the class, there are always a few who can, so don't worry teacher!"
A boy said.
Lao Yang asked again.
"Those who can cook in the class raised their hands."
Nearly half of them raised their hands.
"I can't tell, I thought you were all spoiled young master and ladies."
Lao Yang thought that since they were already out, and there was a place nearby why not take them to have some fun.
"Okay, let's go. I'm counting on you guys for dinner ah." Lao Yang said.
The students laugh.
"Don't worry teacher, I promise to make you a full banquet tonight."
"Then I'll wait."
Lao Yang turned his head and pointed to the phone screen then said to the driver.
"Master, please take us to this place."
A group of students arrived at the farmhouse, and since they did not make a reservation, Lao Yang had to find the owner and check for any vacancy's'.
Fortunately, there happened to be no group reservation or activity and has enough equipment to cater the group of students.
Shortly, the equipment for grilling and dishes were prepared for this big wave.
As a well-known tourist attraction the farmhouse club was quite large in scale. There were four mini kitchens with plenty of foods and utensils, and all kinds of meat and seafood.
There were also barbeque grills to satisfy the idea of wanting to grill by themselves.
Lao Yang then instructed.
"Just divide into two groups, you can divide it into 20 members according to your seat number."
Everyone then divided themselves efficiently.
Those who could cook, would cook, those who want to go barbeque could go and barbeque, as for the rest they went out and help.
And for those who don't want to do anything, the farmhouse also has many other recreational facilities to play with.
Nan Xiao, Lin Suno and Jin Sihan the three of the usually like to sit together, and Shi Ning was with them. While Yu Chuyao were with other students.
After dividing the groups, everyone started to move.
There were always few people who could cook in twenty people, they have assign some together with someone who would help them, making everything organized.
Jin Sihan took Nan Xiao and Jin Sihan to grill with him.
When all preparations were done the night slowly descends, the scattered stars and bright moon that was half hidden in the cloud.
Not far from the barbeque grill, someone was getting a bonfire party, brightening the whole place, and the sound of music and people talking slowly envelopes.
Nan Xiao, Lin Suno and Jin Sihan were standing in front of the barbeque grill, each holding skewed food in their hands.
Jin Sihan asked.
"Can you?"
Lin Suno spat out two words concisely.
"Could not."
Nan Xiao annoyingly said.
"Weren't you the one who drag us to grill this? Now you're asking us if we can grill?"
Jin Sihan then answered.
"Forget it, is should be quite simple, just like grilled meat, put some oil, then put in on the grill and sprinkle some seasoning on it."
When he said this, Jin Sihan grabbed a handful of meat skewers and put them on the grill, he followed his common sense and started to try.
Sure enough, the meat was scorched, and the smoke around the grill choked his nose.
Lin Suno and Nan Xiao automatically step back two meters away.
Jin Sihan pinched his nose and shouted.
"You guys aren't coming to help me!"
Nan Xiao disgustingly said.
"Laozi1 doesn't even want to go near that place now."
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Shi Ning came, she saw the three big boys standing by the grill at loss.
Jin Sihan answered.
"Barbeque."
Shi Ning swept her eyes at the burned meat on the grill.
"Grilling that many? Can you finish it yourselves?"
Jin Sihan answered as a matter of fact.
"There are a lot us, of course I'll also grill for them."
"And you two?"
Lin Suno and Nan Xiao looked at each other, and dislike Jin Sihan's gloating look but under Shi Ning's questioning, they actually see a trace of guilty feeling in each other's eyes.
"I don't want to." Nan Xiao said.
"I don't." Jin Sihan seconded.
Friends indeed, they even answered the same.
Shi Ning thought, why helpless shaking head inwardly.
Shi Ning then sighed helplessly and headed over the grill, intending to save the rest of Jin Sihan's uncharred meat.
"You'd better stay away, the smell of the smoke is heavy."
Lin Suno kindly reminded.
Nan Xiao added.
"This is not the place a girl like you could come and mixed in, you'll just burned it too."
Shi Ning retorted back.
"And just stand like you two? You won't have anything to eat tonight then."
Shi Ning then added and asked in confusion.
"There are so many people in our group, why are only three of you here grilling, where are the others?"
There are only, two or three boys in the kitchen and the rest were girls. A total of 10 people in the kitchen.
Where are the rest of the people go?
Jin Sihan replied.
"I thought the three of us could do it, so we didn't let them come. They were all playing with the fire there."
Not far away, a bonfire was built, Lao Yang and some students who had nothing to do were gathered there to chat.
Shi Ning was speechless.
"I think it's not them playing with fire, it's you playing with fire."
"Why don't you stand next to me and help me, I'll grill."
She took over Jin Sihan's hands and began to grill the meat.
Barbeque was a kind of thing that their village used to do a lot. Every year, villagers would have bonfire parties, and barbeque was one of the activities.
Shi Ning's parents were always away all year round, and there was only her old grandmother at home. So she has been doing all the cooking and housework since she was very young.
The modern barbeque rack was very advance, so it was not difficult to operate. Shi Ning starts very quickly.
She turned the meat skewers with one hand and flipped them in the oil with the other, moving so skillfully that she didn't look like a young lady who hadn't touched anything with her fingers.
"Give me the salt.
"Pepper."
"Cumin powder."
"Chili powder."
Shi Ning grilled while directing Jin Sihan, who was standing next to her, to give her the spices.
The remaining two people watched her, with stunned expressions.
"How she's good at everything now."
Nan Xiao muttered.
Lin Suno added.
"In comparison, you and I seem to be very incompetent."
"Then, maybe soon Shi Ning will take the first place in our grade from you."
"That's interesting too."
Nan Xiao glanced sideway and asked coldly.
"It's not like you. Every man has his own pride, like me, if someone comes out at this time and threatened my position I will sure to fight with him head on."
"And your pride is learning."
People like them couldn't live a bland life, and their strong desire to win and lose would surely make them do their best in what could interest them.
Lin Suno has been known as a genius prodigy by everyone since he was born, and he doesn't believe he would find it interesting that someone stole his first place from him.
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Suno asked in a light voice
Nan Xiao has always been direct especially when other party was his own brother.
"Do you like Shi Ning?"
Laozi1– arrogant way of saying I

Lin Suno's body slightly stiffened and did not move for a while.
Nan Xiao continued.
"Otherwise, why didn't you hit her, and me instead? Give her the champion for nothing?"
The tension was only for a moment, and Lin Suno reverted back to his usual poker face.
"Because of this, you think I like her?"
"Otherwise what else can there be?"
"Why don't you think about this, the champion is probably also given to you, I even give you an extra bullet of love."
After he finished speaking this, he patted Nan Xiao's shoulder and walked pass him to go over Shi Ning and Jin Sihan was.
Nan Xiao looked at Lin Suno's back and thinks that if it wasn't for the fact that he was his brother who he grow up together with, Lin Suno may have been beaten by him now and couldn't stand up anymore.
That's damn disgusting!
Nan Xiao cursed inwardly.
Lin Suno walked over to help Shi Ning and Jin Sihan grill.
Jin Sihan surprisingly said.
"Why are you here? I thought you can't grill?"
"Isn't it so simple, I can do it."
Jin Sihan complained loudly.
"Then why didn't you come even when I shouted at you for help just now!"
"I just recently know how to."
"F̲u̲c̲k̲ it."
Jin Sihan also couldn't help but follow his brother to explode in dirty words.
After Shi Ning grilled the skewers, she went ahead and tried to taste it.
It taste pretty good.
"You guys try it too."
She said to Jin Sihan and Lin Suno.
Jin Sihan was the first to pick up the meat and hurriedly delivered it to his mouth, but because he was in a hurry and the meat was still hot, he scalded his mouth instead but that didn't prevent him from tasting the meat.
"Delicious, too delicious! This is what I call barbeque!"
After eating, Jin Sihan was not stingy with his praise.
Shi Ning was so happy with the compliment that she picked another one and handed it to Lin Suno.
"Well, Suno doesn't eat this kind of—"
Jin Sihan said as he swallowed the meat, after seeing Shi Ning giving Lin Suno a barbeque.
Along with what Jin Sihan had said, Lin Suno already finished eating the meat given by Shi Ning.
"Well, it's delicious."
Jin Sihan looked dumbfounded.
Shi Ning smiled and continued grilling and told them about what to pay attention to when grilling so that they could take over.
And since this was a simple matter, Jin Sihan and Lin Suno were now capable of grilling on their own.
But seeing the god of study rolling up his sleeves and standing by the charcoal stove, seriously studying how to barbeque better made Shi Ning want to laugh.
People who were usually cold, indifferent, quiet and happy go lucky were finally showing their different sides.
Shi Ning was planning to walked over the campfire with the skewers she had just grilled, ready to give her teacher and classmates a taste.
Just as she turned around, Shi Ning and Nan Xiao's eyes met.
As they were busy grilling earlier, Nan Xiao was just behind them looking, not even moving a muscle.
Seeing that Shi Ning has spotted him, Nan Xiao quickly turned around and acted as if nothing happened.
Shi Ning walked over and pass by him, then stepped a few steps back.
The young girl lifted the plate of roasted, tender oily meat in front of him and asked.
"Do you want to eat?"
The moment Nan Xiao saw her eyes, he stopped himself from blurting out the words "Don't want to eat".
He hesitated for a moment, but still took the skewer of meat from the plate, put it in his mouth and took two bites.
The taste is really good, no wonder Jin Sihan said it was delicious.
"You grilled this?"
Shi Ning nodded.
"Is it delicious?"
"Not bad."
Nan Xiao commented.
Being with Nan Xiao during the game, Shi Ning finds out that Nan Xiao was not as difficult to get along with as usual.
On the contrary, he sometimes was quite protective to girls. Such as earlier, he had helped him kill those enemies and even blocked a bullet for her.
It's just this person say's different than what his heart tells him. And according to Shi Ning's understanding, when Nan Xiao say's 'not bad' then what he means should be delicious.
Just when Shi Ning was planning to give him more meat for helping her during the game and win the championship, she suddenly saw a wound on Nan Xiao's hand.
A picture flashed in her mind. It seemed that when they were playing the game, during the time Nan Xiao pulled her down to hide, he scratched his hand by a tree branch.
"Wait for me for a while"
Shi Ning then went and gave the skewers to Lao Yang and her classmates, and then found someone to ask for an emergency kit.
"Hey, here you go."
Shi Ning ran back and handed the band-aid to Nan Xiao.
Nan Xiao looked at the things in her hand and looked away.
"I don't need that."
His expression was the same as when she had treated her brother's wound. It was full of disdain, as if a little wound didn't need to be treated at all.
Ah I can't talk sense with this man!
Shi Ning directly took his hand and helped him take the cotton with iodine to wipe the sand on his wound then put the band-aid on.
"That's good. You don't have to worry about the wound when you play again."
Shi Ning looked the covered wound and smiled with satisfaction.
On the other hand Nan Xiao was motionless, he was intently looking at every moved of Shi Ning. Looking at her hands, fingers, brows and her eyes, everything, even her expressions.
"I'm going."
When Shi Ning was ready to go and helped back in the kitchen, Nan Xiao suddenly hold her hand.
Shi Ning was shocked by his sudden move and looked at him.
"What?"
Nan Xiao pulled her to the side where there was no one around.
"Shi Ning."
"En."
"I want to say something to you."
"What?"
Shi Ning waited for him to talk, but Nan Xiao just stood there in front of her hesitating, unable to say a word.
Seeing his torn look, Shi Ning suggested.
"Why don't I go first, and you think about it? I still have two dishes left to make."
"Don't go."
Nan Xiao grabbed her hand and hold it for a long time, finally he spat out the words.
"Can you stop hating me."
The statement was comparable to a stone being break, Shi Ning was shocked to the point of wondering if she had heard it wrong.
When Nan Xiao finished this sentence, he's face was flushed with red, he was restless, nervous and unknown emotions were wrapped around him.
Nan Xiao raised his foot and kicked the stone next to it, the stone jumped up five meters away.
"That's the idea, anyway I think I'm pretty annoyed whenever you face me with your unpleasant face."
Shi Ning stared at him with wide eyes.
"No, it's obviously you who hated me first ah."
In Shi Ning's surprised eyes, Nan Xiao's memory came back a little, and remembered what he had told Shi Ning before.
So he spat out.
"Don't come near me and stay away from me."
"Why are you upset now?"
"What do you really want?"
Shi Ning asked again.
Nan Xiao was silent.
"I said that—that was before, and you didn't used to be like this…"
When did she start to change..
Probably after she woke up from the hospital.
Shi Ning remembered clearly, the original owner's affairs and her relationship with Nan Xiao, regardless after she crossed over, Nan Xiao's attitude towards her was the same.
"Not long ago you were sarcastic about my studies, and before you were also insulting my love. So I told you I would stay away from you but now you're telling me—"
Shi Ning counted them one by one.
"Stop!"
Nan Xiao couldn't listen to it anymore and didn't want to think back of those things.
Shi Ning shut up immediately.
"So shall we continue on this conversation?"
"…you go."
"Okay."
Shi Ning immediately planned to go.
After two steps, she stopped and say.
"Actually I don't hate you, don't think too much about it."
She used to dislike him because she didn't like his condescending and self-righteous look but in fact Nan Xaio didn't essentially do anything to annoy her.
The reason she didn't want to get too entangled with him was mainly because she had read the original book.
In the book, the original owner of the body, all delusions were all caused by him.
So in this life, she instinctively would have a sense of cautiousness from him.

After Shi Ning left, Nan Xaio stayed in the same place for a while.
He recalled what Shi Ning has just said to him.
"Actually I don't hate you, don't think too much about it."
"Heh."
Nan Xiao pulled out a self-mocking smile.
"You might as well hate me."
After cooking, it was finally time to eat, and Lao Yang walked around the dishes made by the two groups.
After looking at all the dishes, he asked.
"Who made all of these?"
Pointing to the more delicious looking foods.
The second group of students said.
"Shi Ning did it."
Lao Yang was surprised.
"Shi Ning, you know how to cook, huh?"
It was so rare that a child from such powerful and wealthy family like the Shi family could cook.
"Shi Ning has been hot lately, she knows everything. When grilling just now, the technique was so skillful that I thought that as long as she put up a sign beside her, she could open a grilling restaurant."
Jin Sihan joked.
"Yes, yes, although some of us can cook, she was on a different level. And since we seldom cook, we are a bit slow but since we are bit in a hurry to cook for so many people so most of the dishes are made by Shi Ning."
"Today is Shi Ning time to shine and be talked about."
The students on the same group also praised her one after another.
Shi Ning was embarrassed by the compliments and quickly called out the teacher to try other dishes.
After eating, the students sat around the campfire and played some small game like song catching contest and werewolf killing before the teacher announced that they need to go back to the hotel.
On this trip they would spent the next two days playing in the resort.
After driving for about two hours they finally arrived at Longhai Resort.
When Shi Ning saw the magnificent hotel like palace, she was deeply amazed.
Mary Sue novel is really on the next level, students could even live in such place.
"Sihan, the hotel is good."
The class expressed their satisfaction with the place they were staying.
The entire resort was owned by Jin family, and the hotel they are staying was just a part of it.
Jin Sihan hid behind Nan Xiao after arriving at the resort.
"Bother Xiao, can you ask for me if their general manager is inside the hotel right now?"
"Why can't you call your brother."
Jin Sihan pouted.
"I'm afraid he is.."
"How old are you still so afraid of your brother."
Nan Xiao didn't pay attention to him and lifted his legs towards the reception check in.
The hotel had already arrange rooms for them, students who wanted to share a room with other students could choose a double room.
And those who wished to sleep by themselves could also choose a single room.
Shi Ning likes it quite so she choose the single room.
After playing for a day, Shi Ning felt a little tired. So she immediately took a bath and while drying her hair, although it was a little late she decided to read first before sleeping since she bought books with her.
She took the English reading book out of her bag and read a few questions before putting on her headphone and started listening to an English conversational practice.
The next day when the alarm clock rang, Shi Ning was still wearing the headphones in her ears. She didn't even know when she fell asleep last night.
She only remembered that she was listening to an English listening conversational practice before she went to bed.
Shi Ning climbed out of her bed, and changed her clothes. She then directly went to the restaurant in the hotel, where everyone already had their breakfast.
After eating her breakfast, she changed her clothes and went to the beach.
Shi Ning never wore a swimsuit before in her last life, so when packing her things at home she chose a swimsuit that looked like all of her body was covered.
After changing, Shi Ning was silent.
The face of this body was seven or eight points similar to the face on her previous life, the height was also similar, but the body shape—
The only different was the body shape.
She usually wore loose clothing so it was not obvious, but after wearing the tight swimsuit, Shi Ning could not help but feel that the original owner has too much good development on her body.
Her bulging chest in contrast to her flat chest before was too big to compare.
So despite wearing a one-piece swimsuit, Shi Ning chose to go out with a clothes.
As soon as she got out from the fitting room she heard a girl talking in the fitting room next door.
"Our girls' swimsuit are pretty conservative, by the way do you think the boys would just wear a pair of swimming trunks?"
"Hahahahaha, that's really possible, I really want to see it."
"To clarify, I only want to see the handsome guys on their swimming trunks. No ugly included, I wish they would automatically put on clothes."
"Ahhh I can finally see the F4's bare-chest in this life time! I haven't even seen them yet I am already having nosebleeds!"
"Don't talk about it, I was just imagining Nan Xiao wearing only his swimming trunks, that one meter eight tall man is walking towards me, and my legs went too soft to walk."
As Shi Ning passed by them, one of the girl saw her.
"Shi Ning why are you still wearing your clothes? Aren't you going to play in the water?"
"I'm cold. I'll just change later."
People in big cities seem to be more a little more open than where she was before crossing over.
With this thought, Shi Ning tries to do as Romans do1.
The see breeze make people relaxed and happy, as the endless sea was like washing away the trouble of all people looking at it.
The academic pressure and trivial life seem to disappear at this moment.
Everyone stepped on the beach and ran barefoot.
"Crap, it's them! They're coming!"
The familiar scream was just like the exclusive BGM2 of those fans seeing their male god on stage.
Shi Ning on the other hand, does not need to check about who was coming out.
Nan Xiao, Lin Suno and Jin Sihan walked out together.
Except for Lin Suno the other two did not wear a shirt and was only wearing swimming trunks.
The young man's strong, lean and tall body was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
Nan Xiao usually like to exercise and active in sports, so his body was naturally good and excluding youthful hormones , letting the young ladies spurt blood on their noses.
Jin Sihan was relatively lean, his whole body was milky white and his skin was so good that girl's would be ashamed standing next to him.
But what's unexpected was that Jin Sihan who usually looked soft actually has muscles on his body and was not far from Nan Xiao's.
"Good figure."
Nan Xiao commented.
"Exercising like brother Xiao."
Jin Sihan chuckled and answered.
"What's with these bruises on your body, they look like from long time ago."
Nan Xiao suddenly noticed Jin Sihan had two or three faint scars on his back which seemed to be there a long time ago.
Jin Sihan said indifferently.
"Oh, when I was a kid I was hurt by a branch when I fell from a tree, it's no big deal."
After saying that Jin Sihan looked at Lin Suno beside him.
"Suno, we all have taken off our shirts, what else do you have to hide, why not take off yours' too?"
Lin Suno wore a blue short sleeve which looked out of place in the middle of the two.
"I don't want to be stared."
Lin Suno frowned and gesture for them to look ahead.
"What's the matter, you're not used to it yet?"
Jin Sihan said carelessly.
As they were walking towards the beach, all the girls around them were screaming and squealing.
"Nan Xiao is so handsome ah ah ah, it's killing me! What a stunning and sexy figure!"
"Sihan, little cutie is also a little too white, like a soft little kitten, I so want to hug him!"
"Why do I think Suno is the most attractive one? Abstinence handsome guys are so attractive comparing him to them! Only, I want to rush and want to strip him off!"
Shi Ning: "….."
The world of Mary Sue novel is really just a little too crazy!

When going to a beach, swimming and playing in the water was naturally a sport that cannot go missing.
Those who could swim had long been plunged and swimming in the ocean or in the swimming pool, and those who couldn't and don't know how to swim were at the shallow area and on the edge of the pool, splashing water.
Shi Ning slowly extended her feet and put it in the water, the water in the pool was ice cold and was comfortable indeed.
"Ningning, don't you want to go there and play?"
Jin Sihan emerged from the water, and asked her to come down with him.
Shi Ning shook her head.
"No, you guys play, I'll just play here."
"That's boring, let's play together, it's not like you can't swim."
Shi Ning: "….."
How should she tell him that she really couldn't swim. When her grandmother was sick when she was little, she went to the mountains to get some water instead of her grandmother.
And when she crossed the bridge, she didn't walked steadily because the bucket was too heavy for her.
She slip her foot and fell into the river, if someone hadn't passed by and save her, she would have died at that moment.
After that incident Shi Ning has been afraid of the water. After that incident, she was afraid of seeing big river.
When she grew up she learned to overcome her fear of water, but it was still impossible for her to swim.
Shi Ning took a large swimming ring, and let it float on the water. She sat on it and rowed with her hands.
"I'm kind of swimming like this."
Jin Sihan was speechless.
"Your body is not even in the water, what kind of swimming is that?"
"I think this is quite good."
Shi Ning said while her arms were tightly holding the swimming rings and flapping her hands in the water.
"Chuyao, you have such a good figure, what do you usually eat, how come your breast is developing so well?"
"You're so thin, are there even any meat on your belly and waist."
"Yes, ah. Usually people who are thin are flat chested but your different, how did you do it ah."
After Yu Chuyao came out from the water, her beautiful body was shown by the many. She has the right curves on the right places and her thin body were amazing.
Yu Chuyao comb her wet hair with one swift motion.
"I don't know ah, I actually eat a lot of food and loves to snacks."
"That's too hateful ah."
The surrounding girls beamed with envy.
Happy with the complement and envious gaze, Yu Chuyao caught Shi Ning with her eyes.
"Eh, how come Shi Ning isn't swimming?"
"Hahaha she's still wearing her clothes. Her body should not be as good as Chuyao so she doesn't dare to show it out."
"Still sitting on the swimming ring like a kid ah. That's hilarious."
Yu Chuyao looked at Shi Ning playing with the water alone, she turned her head to the girls around her and said.
"You guys play over here first, I'll go over there and take a look."
She then swam towards Shi Ning.
Shi Ning was having fun playing with the water when Yu CHuyao appeared in front and smiled at her.
"Ningning ah, the sun is so strong, aren't you wearing too much?"
Shi Ning coldly replied.
"No."
As if she didn't notice her indifference, Yu Chuyao continued.
"Come down and let's play together."
Shi Ning didn't bother to talk to her, and did reply back. She lowered her head and went on playing with the water.
Seeing Shi Ning was ignoring her, the days of accumulated resentment erupted at this moment.
She took advantage of Shi Ning's inattention and pushed her into the water from behind.
Shi Ning who suddenly fell into water instinctively grabbed the swimming ring but Yu Chuyao pulled the swimming ring away to a position she couldn't reach.
Shi Ning choked a few mouthfuls of water and shouted for help.
Yu Chuyao coldly said.
"What are you pretending for? Not swimming so others will save you? Are you that happy, when everyone is serving you."
She had finished this sentence when a hand grabbed her ankle.
It was none other than Shi Ning's hand. Shi Ning thought that if couldn't live today, she had to pull someone with her!"
"You're crazy! Let go of me now!"
She would have been able to swim, but Shi Nign pressed her, and choked a few water making her panic and forgot that she knows how to swim.
As a result the two people shouted for help together.
Because the student came to play, and with their large number, the security measures of the school were all in place.
Long before the students got into the water, they already contacted professional life guards and medical staff of the resort for standby.
After hearing them call for help, a professional lifeguard soon jumped into the water with the intention of saving the two.
But someone was ahead of them, and saved the two girls faster.
Nan Xiao was holding Shi Ning and fish her out from the water, while Lin Suno dragged Yu Chuyao.
Two people just choked out a few mouthfuls of water, there was no big problem. After vomiting must of the water, Shi Ning opened her eyes and saw Nan Xiao's magnified face.
"You saved me?"
Nan Xiao frowned.
"Are you okay?"
Shi Ning coughed twice.
"I'm okay."
Realizing that his almost naked body was pressed against her, and his arms around her with his chest near her face, Shi Ning blushed and pushed Nan Xiao away and stood up.
Opposite, Yu Chuyao also woke up.
After Lin Suno fished the person up, as if there was some unknown virus on Yu Chuyao he immediately retreated three meters away.
Instead Jin Sihan ran over and squatted beside Yu Chuya and asked her if she's okay.
"Sister Chuyao are you okay?"
Yu Chuyao who just woke up, shook her head and said.
"I'm okay."
With tears in her eyes she looked at Shi Ning and said
"Ningning, what the hell did you do? Don't make jokes like that! You just strangled my neck causing me to almost die."
Without saying a word Shi Ning walked over towards Yu Chuyao.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Chuyao asked shivering as she saw Shi Ning's face was not right.
Pak!
Shi Ning slapped her across the face.
"What did I do? I'd like to ask you the same question what did you do? Why did you pushed me down and snatched my swim ring away! What? You want to commit murder?"
Chapter 65
Translator: Kyotot
The force of the slap was not small, the crisp sound made the noisy crowd quietened down. Yu Chuyao's tender white face was instantly red and swollen.
Five fingerprints were clearly visible on her face.
"I just want to play with you…"
Yu Chuyaos' tears immediately falls down from her pitiful eyes, she had cried a lot. Half pretending, half really aggrieved.
Although she wanted to teach Shi Ning a lesson, she never wanted to kill her. She just wanted to make her chokes a few times, who knew she suddenly couldn't swim!
"Play? Is that how you play, even if I was already drowning?! You clearly saw I can't swim, I told I don't want to play with you but instead you pushed me and took my swimming ring from me! Is that not want to kill me, then what!"
Shi Ning's colds voice penetrated as she interrogates her.
"I don't know, I don't know wu wu wu, I obviously didn't, why are you slandering me."
Yu Chuyao shrank into Jin Sihan's arms and cried.
Jin Sihan looked at Shi Ning and then looked at Yu Chuyao in his arms. On one side was his childhood friend and other was the girl he liked. He said tentatively.
"Ningning, calm down first, is there any misunderstanding, I also remembered that you can swim ah. Chuyao probably just wanted to joke with you."
"Joking about people's lives and deaths, this kind of joke I really can't afford."
Although nothing serious happened, but the moment she fell into the water, her fear invaded her.
The desperate sense of dying in her past memory made Shi Ning's heart palpitate.
She knew that Yu Chuyao doesn't really want to kill her, but sooner or later it would be harmful for her if Yu Chuyao stayed with her any longer.
So she could use this accident and completely severe their sisterhood and so that Yu Chuyao wouldn't come to her anymore and pretend they were close.
Shi Ning's words shocked everyone. During a period of time, she had only been concentrating on her studies and peacefully stays in class without making a fuss.
People could also occasionally communicate with her, they even liked the changed in Shi Ning.
Her temperament has improved a lot and uses soft voice and politeness when talking, completely different from her original arrogant and domineering attitude.
But today it seems that the original Shi Ning has resurface.
Who cares if you were crying, this lady would still beat you as usual.
This time, Lao Yang also rushed over and asked about what happened, after determining that the two drowning students were okay, did he sighed a relief.
With solemn face, he said.
"Since you are all 16 to 17 years old, I thought you have a sense of security that's why I agree on bringing you here but did not expect that something like this can still happen. From today onwards no one can swim in the water, you can only play on the shore."
Shi Ning was not done with Yu Chuyao, and doesn't care if Lao Yang could hear her.
"I don't know what are you crying about. Our family is also considered to be kind to you, even if you are not grateful but you can't think of harming people. You think you'll be the real Ms. Shi if you killed me?."
Shi Ning coldly dropped the sentence, and no longer pay attention to Yu Chuyao, she turned around to the side and sat on the chair to rest.
The scene was too spectacular, they didn't expect to witness a sister tearing drama on their trip to relax.
Yu Chuyao was slumped on the ground as if paralyzed as she keep on crying and whispering how wronged she was.
The students who saw the drama, started gossiping.
"Aren't Shi Ning and Yu Chuyao good sisters, what's going on?"
"Yeah, it used to look like they had a good relationship."
"But thinking about it recently, Shi Ning seems to be not really want to take care about Yu Chuyao."
"Yu Chuyao really goes too far ah, Shi Ning said she was pushed, even if someone who can swim will forgot how to react if she was suddenly pushed. She may really drown. Otherwise how could those good at swimming still drowned, looked at Shi Ning she maybe too scared to react."
"Looks like the good sisters are in cold war1."
"What good sisters? In the end, Yu Chuyao is just a child brought back by the Shi family. You really thinks she is some Young Miss? Well she just angered the real daughter of Shi family, she will have a hard time in that family."
After Shi Ning left, Yu Chuyao looked at Nan Xiao standing in front of her, and sobbed.
"Nan Xiao, I didn't really mean to, you know Shi Ning can swim."
Nan Xiao looked at her coldly from the high position.
"I'll just ask you one thing."
"You did pushed her, right?"
Yu Chuyao's face became paler, and the tears were swirling around her eyes.
"Then what else do you want to explain?"
Nan Xiao coldly sneered and turned to leave.
Yu Chuyao saw Lin Suno who was not far from her.
"Suno, thank you for saving me earlier."
"Don't mention it, I wasn't planning to save you."
He also left after speaking.
Yu Chuyao bit her lips and blood started to come out. She felt like a doll stripped of its gorgeous coat, lying tattered and torn on the ground, to let people trample on.
Jin Sihan couldn't bear this scene. He hugged Yu Chuyao more tightly and comforted her.
"Don't cry, I'm still here."
Yu Chuyao wrapped her arms around his waist and flung herself into his arms, crying out in pain.
Everything that had happened at the beach shore was seen by a tall man in suit, from the not so far building.
"Interesting."
The corner of his lips lifted and his eyes looked through the floor-to-sceiling glass window at the man and the woman outside.
Behind him stood an old man with semi-white hair in his sixties, who was quiet and respectful the whole time.
"Butler Bai, do you think this younger brother of mine has grown up."
The man in suit suddenly asked, as his deep and complex eyes fell on Jin Sihan.
The old man, known as the white butler, looked out the window and said.
"Yes, the young master is over 15 years old and has grown a lot."
"Yeah, old enough where he can like girls."
The man narrowed his eyes at Yu Chuyao who was being held in Jin Sihan's arms.
"Who is that girl and how does she look a little familiar."
Asked the man in suit.
White Butler replied.
"That is the child that Old Lady Shi took back from the orphanage and raised by her side, her name is Yu Chuyao, two year older than the young master but was on the same class."
"Shi's adopted daughter? She seems a bit impressive."
The man seemed like he was recalling something.
"But I'm more impressed with the real daughter of the Shi family, Shi Ning."
cold war1– silent conflict between two parties

Shi Ning who just came out of the water had her body and hair completely wet through and through.
The thought of almost drowning just now made her not slow down, she immediately slumped on the chair and felt the warmth of the sun. Making herself relax.
Suddenly a large part of the light in front of her was blocked.
Shi Ning opened her eyes and found that the person standing in front of her was Lin Suno.
"Here you go."
Lin Suno handed him a bath towel.
Shi Ning smiled and took it.
"Thank you."
She wrapped herself all over, revealing only her small head.
"Achoo—"
Shi Ning sneezed, she rubbed her nose and said to Lin Suno.
"I'm sorry you saw something ridiculous."
"You'd better go take a hot shower, don't catch a cold."
Lin Suno said instead.
"It's unlikely I'll get cold, it's such a hot day."
"I don't think so."
Lin Suno insisted.
Why is Lin Suno so concern with her?
Shi Ning looked at Lin Suno's serious eyes, with a posture that if-you-won't-shower-I-would-not-leave-you-alone-today.
"Okay, I'll go in a minute."
Shi Ning compromised.
"Why wait later."
"Because I'm a little dizzy now."
Shi Ning spoke the truth.
As soon as she said that, she saw Lin Suno bending down in front of her and said.
"Come on up, I'll carry you."
Shi Ning was startled, she waved her hands and said.
"No. no I'm really fine, just let me rest a while."
"Letting you shower is for your own good, why so much nonsense."
Nan Xiao appeared behind them at some point, and said.
Shi Ning looked at Nan Xiao and said.
"Thank you."
After all, it was he who saved her, and Shi Ning remembered that she still owed him a thank you.
"Dizzy?"
Nan Xiao asked after Lin Suno's words.
"A little bit."
"Then let's go and see the doctor."
After saying that Nan Xiao regardless if Shi Ning agreed or not, directly picked her up by the waist and walked towards the medical team that was on standby.
After being held by him like a princess carry in public, Shi Ning reacted and was so embarrassed that her face instantly turned red. She hammered Nan Xiao's chest and said.
"What are you doing, put me down."
Nan Xiao did not budge even if Shi Ning was beating him, he continued to hold her and walked forward.
Shi Ning's struggle was ineffective and could only cover her face, hoping everything would end soon.
Lin Suno who stood behind them was lost in his thoughts as he watched the back of a man carrying the woman.
His eyes never left her body the moment he laid his eyes on her.
The time she called for help, Lin Suno immediately swam towards her, but Nan Xiao was closer to her, so even if he reacted first, even if he swam towards her first, the person who saved her first was Nan Xiao, and not him.
Only dared to guard from afar, this may be the reason why he would always lag behind Nan Xiao.
After the unpleasant events during the day, everyone's enthusiasm for playing dropped by more than half.
And the time they returned to the hotel on that day was also very early.
As the group walked towards the hotel, they suddenly found that almost all of the hotel staff were gathered in the lobby.
All were neatly dressed and with serious expressions on their face. The situation was like ancient ministers receiving the emperor.
"What's going on! This isn't going to greet us, is it?"
"Keep dreaming. This looked like a leader going for inspection ah."
"Hahahahahah there are leaders among us. Isn't Sihan, the future successor of the Jin family!"
"That's not necessarily true, don't you know Sihan is Jin's ….. family."
Someone whispered.
Jin Sihan's face went white as he turned his head and tried to walk out of the hotel.
Nan Xiao pulled him back.
"Where are you going?"
Jin Sihan stammered.
"I have to pee, I'll go to my room first!"
"My dear brother, where do you want to go?"
Jin Sihan didn't take two steps when a clear, and noble male voice came from behind him.
Jin Shang walked in through the revolving doors surrounded by security guards and staff, while the at the same time, all the uniformed staff in the hotel bent down and bowed with their voices neat and loud.
"Hello President Jin!"
As the youngest head of the Jin family, Jin Shang was only 23 years old this year. Just two years after graduating from college he took over the Jin family.
With his leadership, the family business has become increasingly prosperous. Everyone praised the young leader of the Jin family who had a rare business talent.
The rumors about the four families in Yangcheng City were few and far between.
And Jin Shang was the first person to hold a real power in this generation of the four families' heirs, was the center of public opinion.
As soon as Jin Shang walked over, his aura and temperament were worlds apart from their group of students.
He was not similar to Jin Sihan. Jin Shang was a very handsome man, especially with his handmade high-end suit with thin-framed gold rimmed glasses.
His features were three-dimensional handsome features. He looked gently and steady, he has a very noble aura.
"So handsome, although not as exquisite as Sihan's looks, but brother has a good temperament ah!"
The girls in the class began to discuss their obsession again.
One boy interrupted.
"Have you never heard of Jin Shang's cruel methods? Yet you dared to be smitten by him, I advised you to stay away from him…"
Shi Ning was full of doubts when she saw Jin Shang.
When she read the original plot, in addition to the female lead Tong Lu, and the male lead Nan Xiao, the F4 has quite a few scenes, which was because they were considered as the main characters.
But as the brother of the important character Jin Sihan, why did she not read the name Jin Shang in the novel at all.
Listening to the chatter of the people around, Shi Ning thought that this Jin Shang should be a very scary person.
When he slowly walked, step by step towards Jin Sihan, Shi Ning noticed that he had a scar above his forehead, adding some flaw on his perfect face.
She couldn't help but inclined her head and ask to the nearest person, Nan Xiao.
"How did Sihan's brother's forehead get a scar?"
Otherwise, it should a very handsome face ah.
Shi Ning think's it was a pity.
Nan Xiao frowned and looked at her confusingly.
"Are you playing dumb?"
Shi Ning with a puzzled and innocent looked answered.
"No ah."
Although she has the memory of the original owner, but there were too many things that she could not remember for a while.
"Then how could you forget about throwing a vase to brother Jin Shang's head when you were a child?"
? ? ?
! ! !
It was said that Jin Shang was a dangerous person and many people were afraid of him, yet…
Why was the original owner so fierce when she was a child ah!
Chapter 67
Translator: Kyotot
Jin Shang walked up to crowd and casually pick up Jin Sihan by the collar who was hiding in the crowd and brought him out.
"I haven't seen you for a long time but your hiding when you see me?"
In front of Jin Shang, Jin Sihan was not at his usual cheerful and lively self, he stammered.
"No, no way. I, I really need to pee."
Jin Shang obviously did not believe him, with one hand holding him down he scanned the circle of people around.
"I guess you all are my brother's classmates, Nan Xiao is also here. My brother had given you so much trouble."
Nan Xiao chuckled and said.
"It seems that brother Jin Shang knows that this boy is a trouble."
"Hey!"
Jin Sihan raised his head stiffly in protest even though he was being pinned down.
"But brother Jin Shang I have something to say. It's necessary to do that."
Nan Xiao's hands pressed against the back of Jin Shang's hand, prompting him to let go.
Jin Shang's phoenix eyes squinted slightly under his gold rimless glasses, but Nan Xiao's expression was flat and firm.
Although they were six years old apart, Nan Xiao's aura didn't lose to him at all.
In the end, Jin Shang withdrew his hand, he had to give a little face to the sole heir of the first family of Yangcheng no matter what.
After Jin Sihan escaped from his brother's clutches, he immediately hid behind Nan Xiao.
In a blink of an eye, the aura of the two people clashing vanished in an instant. Jin Shang smiled and looked at the crowd. He then said to the staff.
"Since they are young master's Jin Sihan's classmates they have to be treated well."
After he finished saying this, he was about to leave when his eyes saw Shi Ning again.
"I heard that Miss Shi was frightened today?"
Shi Ning thought he was probably referring to her drowning today.
"How did you know that?"
Jin Shang smiled.
"How can I not know what is happening in my place?"
Jin Shang paused, he gaze playfully at Shi Ning and said.
"Besides, we need to know more about the safety of Miss Shi, after all I can't be careless about the little princess's safety."
The title of Shi Ning little princess was not only called used by Jin Shang, most the people in Yangcheng called her that title.
After all, in the entire Yangcheng City, whether economic or power were basically in the hands of the four big families.
And this generation, the four families in the line of heir, Shi Ning was the only girl. So naturally she was spoiled by people around her and was groom in the palm of her protective parents.
When many people talked about her, they would jokingly refer to her as the little princess.
Shi Ning was made uncomfortable by his gaze and squeezed out a polite smile.
"Thank you."
Jin Shang was stunned, and then couldn't hide his laughter.
"Ningning has become so polite now? And can say thank you."
Shi Ning thought that although the original owner used to be arrogant and domineering, but not so much that she could not even say thank you.
This man really strange.
"It seems that the willful little princess has now all grown up."
Jin Shang raised his hand wanting to touch Shi Ning's head, which was dodge by Shi Ning, turning her head away.
The person in front of her was still too much of a stranger to Shi Ning, she doesn't really like people she doesn't know well touching her head.
However Jin Sang was not upset and withdrew his hand coolly.
"Have a good time everyone."
Jin Shang said his goodbye to all the student in a gentlemanly and elegant manner.
The next second he finished talking to them, Jin Shang's smile instantly vanished and was instantly replaced by his serious expression.
He then led his men all the way to the inside of the hotel.
When he left, the hotel lobby which was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop, regained it's noise.
"That was Jin Shang ah, seeing is better that hearing."
"It's kind of scary to watch someone like that, you can't even guess what he's thinking."
That's when some girl asked Jin Sihan.
"Sihan, your brother is so handsome, does he have a girlfriend?"
Only after Jin Shang left did Jin Sihan's miserable little face regain a bit of blood. He exhaled and reverted to his usual appearance.
"Classmate, don't you usually read financial news, or the Yangcheng Evening News?"
"If you read or watch those news, you would know that. In addition to making money, his greatest interest is to collect various styles of expensive watches and the second is to change all kinds of beauty as his girlfriend.
The girl who asked muttered in a low voice.
"Look quite civilized and introverted ah, but is fickle after all."
After a crazy day of fun, everyone was tired and went back to their hotel rooms to sleep.
After Shi Ning returned to her room, she thought carefully for a long time and finally remembered some memories of Jin Shang.
Jin Shang was six or seven years older than them. When they were little kids, Jin Shang was already a student.
When they went to school, Jin Shang already finished his studies in college. In other words, although he was Jin Sihan's brother, he does not have much contact with them, because of their age difference.
Jin Shang has been excellent since he was a child, he had a deep mind since he was a child, making him mature early.
Jin Sihan seems to have been afraid of him since he was a child and hides whenever he sees him.
The four big families have been close for generations, because they were the children, Lin Suno and Nan Xiao were also respectful to him, and would call out brother whenever they saw him.
However, in the memories that Shi Ning remembered, the original owner hated this brother Jin Shang so much that her dislike for him even exceeded that of her own brother, Shi Chen whom she had not treated well since childhood.
Other people who see Jin Shang were respectful but not little Shi Ning, whenever she sees him either she would sneer at his hypocrisy or turned her head and directly ignore him.
She didn't even call Jin Shang brother but called him by his name instead.
Every time she mentioned Jin Shang, she always uses the word "who" which was extremely disrespectful.
Since she was always annoyed seeing him.
No wonder Shi Ning would take the vase to smash people's heads.
It was also estimated that since she was the daughter of the Shi family, it wasn't made into a big deal.
Otherwise if it was another person and dared to do that to Jin Shang they would be afraid that person was not living in this world anymore.
But just why?
In the end, she didn't find out why would Shi Ning hated Jin Shang, who she doesn't have much interactions with.
Shi Ning couldn't really remember, she simply give up and just sleep while listening to English conversation practice.
While everyone was asleep, the light was still on in Yu Chuyao's room.
She couldn't sleep.
In fact this was not the first night that she couldn't sleep. Ever since Shi Ning started to change, was always against her at every turn and repeatedly subject her to humiliation, Yu Chuyao has had regular insomnia.
Occasionally, she was able to sleep for a while, but in her sleep all she saw was her time at the orphanage.
Not having enough food to eat, nor sleep, and being bullied by others.
She didn't want to go back, she only had one choice and that was to fight.
Chapter 68
Translator: Kyotot
Today the slap she received from Shi Ning was really painful. Yu Chuyao gnashes her teeth as she remember what that b*tch did to her but at the same sad for herself.
Shi Ning was always like this, always relying on the love of her family, and wantonly do whatever she wanted to do.
If she lose her temper, she could just lose her temper and fight whoever she wanted. Unlike her, she couldn't scold or fight anyone so freely.
She even needed to hide the resentment in her heart, just because she was the adopted daughter of the Shi family, a child they picked up!
Although grandmother was good to her, it was partly because Yu Chuyao was kind, and more because she was excellent and could earn face for the Shi family.
And that was all thanks to Cao Shu.
Many of her skills were taught by Cao Shu, and if Yu Chuyao has no use for her, Cao Shu would eventually abandon her, not to mention that Shi Nin was now getting better and better.
Yu Chuyao who couldn't figure out a way was more and more frustrated. She could only shed tears silently under the cover.
Ding Dong
At this time her room door rang, Yu Chuyao dried her tears and opened the door.
Standing outside was Jin Sihan.
He was holding a tray with seafood porridge and a cake.
"I see you haven't eaten mush tonight either, so…"
"Do you like me?"
Yu Chuyao interrupted.
Jin Sihan froze for a moment and nodded gently.
Yu Chuyao took what was in his hands and said.
"Then from today onwards, we're together."
After saying that she closed the door of the room.
Yu Chuyao was now like a drowning person desperate to catch a piece of driftwood1.
After Yu Chuyao returned to her room, she drank the porridge that Jin Sihan brought to her. It was and warm in her stomach.
Her mood was a little better, at least there were still people who liked her. She was not yet nothing, Jin Sihan was the only way she could get back to her track.
She could just tell him, not to tell others about their relationship since they were still young and she was scared to let her family know that they were in love.
Anyway, Jin Sihan was still just a kind, he would surely listen to anything she says.
As Yu Chuyao thought of this, the phone in her room suddenly rang.
When she answered, the other party has a low and magnetic male voice.
"May I ask if this is Miss Yu Chuyao?"
The voice sounds familiar.
"Well, I am. You are?"
"This is Jin Shang, are you interested in coming to the fifth floor presidential suite 501 for a talk."
The next day.
Due to the accident yesterday, the original plan form them to play until afternoon trip was cut short by Lao Yang.
He took them to the entertainment club above the hotel for a morning billiards, archery and other activities, then called the driver to pick up the students in the afternoon to take them home.
"Teacher, won't you let us see the sea today?"
"What's the point of playing indoors, these games can be played at our villa. This is nothing like trip at all."
The groups of kids grumbled.
Lao Yang rolled his eyes.
"There was almost a big accident yesterday, and you still want to play? Dream on! In the future, this kind of dangerous place, water or fire, don't think I will bring you here again."
"What a bum."
Everyone whispered their complaints.
"It's not our fault that Yu Chuyao and Shi Ning almost drowned ah, why should we be dragged into not being able to play ah!"
"I thinks it was mainly Yu Chuyao, we really did see her pulling Shi Ning's lifebuoy."
"This pair of good sisters can tear each other up. The family water is really deep2. This Yu Chuyao is not as harmless as she look she was."
"Stop Shi Ning's here."
After getting into the shuttle bus, Shi Ning opened her phone and found that her brother had sent her a message in the morning.
[Having fun?]
Shi Ning replied.
[En, luckily, we came back early.]
Shi Ning hesitated if she would tell him what happened between her and Yu Chuyao.
Thinking that sending a message would not be clear, and perhaps would cause Shi Chen to worry, she simply did not tell him and only told him when she would probably return to school.
After replying to Shi Chen's message, Shi Ning put on her headphone and listen to a song before closing her eyes when suddenly a familiar voice came next to her.
"Let's change seats."
Shi Ning opened her eyes, and saw the tall figure of Nan Xiao standing next to Deng Lan, speaking to him like he was giving orders.
Deng Lan obviously did not dare to disobey Nan Xiao's order, and immediately had to get up.
"Sit down."
Shi Ning voice out, stopping Deng Lan.
Deng Lan who just got had his ass up, sat back down.
Nan Xiao glanced at him coldly.
"Did you not hear me when I told you to get up?"
Deng Lan once again immediately stood up.
Shi Ning took off her headphones.
"Why are you so fierce about, does this seat belong to your family?"
"This bus was bought by the school, the school belongs to my family, what do you think?"
Shi Ning: "…."
Shi Ning decided to give up reasoning with this cranky elementary school kid, she just wordlessly pull Deng Lan to sit down.
She then tried to reason with Deng Lan.
"Do you want to change seats with him?"
Deng Lan originally wanted to shake his head as a sign of no, but under the terrifying eyes if Nan Xiao, he quickly nodded his head.
"Want to…"
"You don't have to be afraid of him, he can't do anything but bluff. Don't change if you don't want to."
Deng Lan quickly got up from his seat, and sat on the original seat of Nan Xiao. There was an obvious lingering fear on his face like he had seen a ghost.
Deng Lan was also a little too timid.
Shi Ning sighed inwardly.
Nan Xiao then sat next to her, and smile pleasantly like an old man.
Yu Chuyao was now like a drowning person desperate to catch a piece of driftwood1– was desperate to have someone she could lean or use
The family water is really deep2– there are many things that they don't know and see that is happening in the family, in a way this could also they have many secrets
Chapter 69

Shi Ning who saw him smile like an idiot, looked up to him and asked.
"Why do you want to sit here?"
"No reason, I just want to sit here."
Shi Ning resisted herself to punch his handsome face.
"Then you are just deliberately bullying people like Deng Lan. Why do you always like to grab others position?"
Her impression of Nan Xaio has change because of what happened when they played outside in the past few days, but she didn't expect him to still be such an unreasonable and arrogant person.
"I'm not bullying the hell out of him, I…."
He paused and wanted to say, 'I just want to sit with you'.
But swallowed back the words and looked at Shi Ning, he said instead.
"I think the light here is good, I just want to bask in the sun."
What a lame reason.
Shi Ning do not want to talk to him, she got up from her seat and said.
"Then you can slowly bask in the sun alone."
Nan Xiao watched her get up, he sat back uprightly and stopped her with his feet.
"Where are you doing? No, what are you walking away from?"
I just got the boy who was in the way.
Why is she leaving?
Shi Ning said in a light voice.
"Don't you want to sunbathe? One less person blocking you is more convenient for the young master, so enjoy basking."
"…."
Nan Xiao instantly regretted the b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲ reason he had just made up.
"Get out of the way."
Shi Ning said in a cold voice, there was not wave in her eyes, it was all calmness. Nan Xaio blankly moved his feet.
She then got up and looked around, saw an empty seat next to Lin Suno so she went over and sat down.
Lin Suno was also listening to a song with his headphones, when he felt someone sat next to him. He opened his eyes and stared at Shi Ning with astonishment, she had taken the initiative to sit with him!
Seeing his stunned expression, Shi Ning thought she had disturbed the god of learning's rest. And decided she better go and find another place.
But a hand grabbed her.
Shi Ning turned her head and looked at Lin Suno in confusion.
The boy's curly and thick eyelashes trembled twice, realizing what he had done, he immediately withdrew his hand.
The warm yellow sunlight hit the side of his face, mixed with the slightest hint of red.
"Are you going to sit here?"
Lin Suno asked.
Shi Ning smiled.
"Yes, but I see you seem to prefer to be alone, so I better not bother you."
Besides with the time he walked with Jin Sihan and Nan Xiao, most of the time Lin Suno was alone.
He's cold and detached temperament makes the surrounding automatically isolate him.
"No, I don't like to be alone."
He spoke.
"Huh?"
This answer was really unexpected coming from Lin Suno.
"So, sit down."
Lin Suno added.
"Oh, okay."
When Shi Ning heard him say that she immediately sat down.
At the same time, Jin Sihan spoke up and said.
"Walk slowly."
He and Yu Chuyao got in the bus together.
Today, the two were very unusual. Jin Sihan was extraordinarily enthusiastic about Yu Chuyao, even after they sat together, he kept pulling food out of his bag and give it to Yu Chuyao.
"What a nice young man, why did he go blind at a young age."
The days she get along with Jin Sihan after she crossed over, she had already regarded him as one of her friends.
In addition, since she has the memory of the original owner, she knows that the original Shi Ning treated Jin Sihan as her best friend besides Yu Chuyao, who was a fraud.
And compared to other people, Shi Ning was naturally close to Jin Sihan.
So every time she sees Jin Sihan being attentive to Yu Chuyao, she feel sense of hatred.
Lin Suno wondered what she meant and asked.
"Who are you talking about?"
Shi Ning smiled and answered back.
"It's nothing."
Shi Ning remembered last night in the hotel while using her phone, reviewing some physics problem, she encountered a problem she needed help with.
Throwing the thought out her mind, Shi Ning looked at the cold and serious face of the god of learning.
Thinking that such a good resource should not be wasted, anyway there was nothing to do in the bus.
"Suno the ride will take at most 2 hours before we arrived, doesn't that make you feel a little bored?"
"It's okay."
"Why don't we solve some problems?"
"…..okay."
After Shi Ning left, Nan Xiao secretly looked at her when she wasn't paying any attention, and saw her talking to Lin Suno discussing about some physics question like no one was else was around them.
Seeing this, Nan Xiao just felt very frustrated.
F̲u̲c̲k̲ is studying that enjoyable?
Shi Ning realized that every time she discusses problems and theories with Lin Suno, the difference between smart and gifted genius were clearly wide apart.
Though she was smart and could understand quickly, that was partially because she study's hard.
But Lin Suno was different.
He was so good that he could tell and explain to her how to solve a problem in a very easier way.
And if she wanted to find some relevant problem to practice again, but failed to find the right one, he could also easily make up question for her.
Making Shi Ning really speechless.
Why is he still a high school student.
After an hour and half of discussion, since she doesn't want to disturb people for too long Shi Ning put away her phone and leaned back, closed her eyes and sleep.
While Lin Suno propped his school bag up against the window, leaning his hand and head to support it from falling, making sure that the bag could block most of the afternoon heat from Shi Ning.
The bus drove for two hours before arriving at school. By the time the bus pulled up, and got out it was just about dusk.
When they arrived, each of the students call their family to pick them up.
Shi Ning also called her driver who usually drives her around.
There were many private cars parked in front of the school, all which came to pick up the children who had gone out to relax.
Shi Ning searched for her car for a long time, but couldn't find it. She was ready to make another phone call to ask why the driver hasn't come yet or whether there was a delay on the way.
When she heard a rumbling motorbike sound.
A cool off-road motorbike drove into her line of sight, the off-road motorbike stopped in front of the bus.
The owner's slender hand was on the steering wheel, and as his one hand slowly took off the helmet looking so cool making the girls screamed wildly.
Both the man and the off road motorbike were handsome and cool that even the boys blew several whistles.
When the helmet was taken off, Shi Ning saw a familiar face.
It was none other than the crown prince of the Shi family, Shi Chen. When his eyes landed on her, his fierce and cold gaze went soft in a second.
He smiled and lovingly said.
"Welcome back brother has come to take you home."
Chapter 70

Once she saw her brother, the fatigue from the trip was all swept away. Shi Ning felt like her whole body came to life.
She quickly walked towards Shi Chen, and said surprisingly.
"Brother why are you here? Don't you have class today?"
Shi Chen smiled.
"Today is Sunday, little fool."
Yang Chuan was a very humane high school. During first and second year of senior high school, they have normal 5 days school 2 days off, and on their third year in senior year they have 6 days school and one day off.
Shi Chen fastened the helmet on Shi Ning.
"Come on up."
Shi Ning hop on the off road motorbike and grabbed Shi Chen's windbreaker.
"I'm getting on."
After waiting for Shi Ning to sit on, Jin Sihan joked.
"Brother Chen, I think you still have enough space for one person. Why don't you take me as well?"
Shi Chen lightly glance at him.
"That's a pipe dream, I only keep the back seat for Ningning."
This was one of Shi Chen's favorite motorbike, and usually no one else was allowed to touch it. He also never used it to drive people except Shi Ning.
Shi Ning who was not happy with Jin Sihan's attitude towards Yu Chuyao, after hearing what he said she poke her head out from the Shi Chen's back and said.
"Sihan in my brother's eyes you may not be as good as this motorcycle."
"…..you two siblings, sometime are too much."
Ignoring what Jin Sihan said, Shi Chen glance at Shi Ning in the mirror and said.
"Let's go."
Shi Chen then immediately start the engine and a loud sound could be hear on the spacious ground.
After maneuvering, the off road motorbike dashed out, away from everyone's sight and only its dust and the shadow of the handsome driver.
The idol like scene really happened in front of everyone's eyes. The girls who witness this all thinks that the private car that was parked were not pleasing to the eyes.
"Motorbikes are so cool, unlike the cars, they don't look nothing at all."
"Today is another day Shi Chen grace us with his handsome presence. Shi Ning's life is so good ah. If I have such brother I don't even want a boyfriend!"
"Yes ah, who doesn't want that kind of brother? I have a brother myself too. When I was child we always fought each other and now that we are all grown up all he did is to chase after girls. Brother like Shi Chen is probably extinct."
This was the second time Shi Ning rides in her brother's motorbike. Unlike last time Shi Chen drove very smoothly this time.
Shi Ning smiled, she hugged her brother's waist and then leaned her head at his back.
After returning home, Shi Ning followed her brother to his room.
Shi Chen's room was the typical boy's style, the decorations were simple. There was a large bookshelves beside the desks, and beside the bookshelves was a cabinet that was made to order for his action figure anime's.
When Shi Ning looked the action figures, she felt that they were nice, she picked one and place it on her palm to inspect it more.
While Shi Chen sat down and watched his sister fiddling with his action figures.
"How does it feel to go out with your classmates?"
Shi Chen asked.
"It was okay."
"Why did you guys come back early, I remember originally you should be back this evening"
Shi Chen asked again in passing.
Shi Ning put down the action figure from her hands, she then sat down face to face with her brother and chatted with his brother about the things she had done in the past few days.
After hearing that Shi Ning almost drowned, Shi Chen's face instantly darkened.
"You said Yu Chuyao pushed you in the water?"
Shi Ning nodded.
"Although I could swim when I was a child, I haven't swam for a long time. When I went to the pool this time I found that I was a little afraid of the water. So I didn't go down but still had the swimming ring with me. Who knew she would suddenly pushed me? I was really scared to death at that time."
Shi Ning recalled and narrated, she then patted her chest with a look of lingering fear.
Shi Chen wrinkled his eyebrows and said.
"She unexpectedly can do such thing, her courage is really big ah."
"Yes, although she maybe just joking, it almost cost her sister's life."
Shi Ning strike while the iron was hot.
"A joke? Who dares to make a joke about your life? I'll make sure she won't laugh for the rest of her life."
Shi Chen said in a cold voice.
He then glance at Shi Ning.
"Fortunately, you're okay."
Otherwise even if the Old Lady Shi and his mother protect Yu Chuyao he would never let her go unscathed.
She was just adopted daughter, how dare she make a move against Shi Ning.
Shi Ning was a little move, in her impression Shi Chen also considered Yu Chuyao as his half-sister.
She thought that after saying this, even if Shi Chen consoled her he would not blamed Yu Chuyao too much.
Unexpectedly Shi Chen was completely on her side, and he stood side with his sister. She was even dumbfounded by expression which was telling, you touched my sister I'll hunt you and your ancestor till grave. And doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Brother don't you have a good relationship with Yu Chuyao?"
"That's only because grandma, mom… and most all of you like her."
When he said this, Shi Chen turned his head and his expression was a bit awkward.
Shi Ning couldn't help but laugh.
Her brother was just too—a little too cute.
He clearly cared for his sister deep down to his bone! If it wasn't for the original owner who didn't like to see him before she didn't know how long could her hide this sister complex.
But now it was completely exposed in front of her.
She propped up her face, full of smiles and her black grape-like almond eyes looked up at Shi Chen.
"Brother, is it true that if I don't like someone, you won't like them either?"
"I believe you have your own reason for hating someone, and your brother is willing to help you remove all things you don't like. Except your brother's bottom line."
The bottom line presumably was referring to his mother.
Shi Ning knew she could defeat Yu Chuyao but it would be hard to shake the importance of Cao Shu in Shi Chen's heart.
If she could, she would want what was written in the book to be false.
After all, after crossing this world was not exactly the same as what she read in the book. She also saw many people who did not exist in the book, such as each of her classmates.
They all vividly existed, with their own names and families.
The world was unmistakably real and was not cold and simple black and white text.
She really hopes that Cao Shu could not have to be as bad as in the book, so that her brother would not be hurt.
