Chapter 27 – This is better! (1)

Lu Zhen raised his hand to cover his uncontrollable laughter.

A smile came out of his eyes. He looked at the girl on the podium and thought that this little nerd had a sense of humor.

Whether Chu Qiuqiu’s speech was embarrassing or not, Chu Yin’s applaud while praising her sister was adorable.

Besides Lu Zhen, Tan Ke also couldn’t hold back and chuckled.

“Damn, she’s interesting.”

Although he vaguely felt that Chu Qiuqiu was a little aggressive just now, he didn’t expect she would keep her silence after raising her hand to question. It was funny.

It was not only him that found it funny, but many people in the class were actually holding back their snickers.

But because Chu Qiuqiu was their classmate, they saved her some face.

She finally completed her speech after silencing Chu Qiuqiu. She stepped back to the corner and waited quietly. When the second and third students finished speaking, they lined up before going out together.

These three people were all good students. Seeing that they looked like elementary school students walking in line, people wanted to laugh.

Lu Zhen’s gaze fell on Chu Yin. She followed behind, her head slightly bowed, as her arms swayed back and forth. She was well-behaved.

As Lu Zhen watched her leaving figure, he felt an unpleasant feeling.

Although they knew each other, she didn’t even spare him a glance.

After they left, the International Class became noisy again. They originally thought that Chu Yin would be dull and boring, but today, the atmosphere became interesting. 

When Chu Yin left, Chu Qiuqiu’s inexplicable silence restriction was lifted.

She took a big breath before she quickly explained, “I was suddenly speechless just now!”

The classmates nodded reluctantly: “Is that so.” It’s not because Chu Qiuqiu was unable to speak, but more like she didn’t know what to say. If she didn’t know, why did she have to refute Chu Yin?

Chu Qiuqiu knew that no one believed her. She was so anxious that her face turned red, “Really! I was about to say that Ebbinghaus’ curve data was based on his personal data, which may not apply to everyone!”

The classmates had a confused look: Then why didn’t you just say??

Chu Qiuqiu felt a sense of powerlessness.

This happened twice! First was at the school dance party. She suddenly began to dance weirdly! The second was today. She couldn’t speak no matter how much she wanted to!

If Chu Qiuqiu was smarter, she could connect more dots. For example, the taste of her red wine changed, the name of the ballot she made became hers, and so on. Unfortunately, she wasn’t that smart.

Chu Qiuqiu could only find one thing in common, that is, Chu Yin was present in both cases.

——Is it related to her?!

Chu Qiuqiu couldn’t help but rushed out of the classroom, found Chu Yin, who was not far away, and grabbed her: “You, demon!!”

Chu Yin: “??”

That’s a new title.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Yin said coolly, “Sister?”

Seeing the strange eyes of the people around them, Chu Qiuqiu calmed down and said, “Was it you?”

Chu Yin looked at her and knew what she meant. After this fake sister was fucked over several times, she finally had doubts. Chu Yin wasn’t worried about this. Instead, she wondered if Lu Zhen would notice something abnormal.

Although the power of the golden finger lies in her mind, she still needed to be careful.

Chu Yin stepped back a little further away from her: “Was I…what?”

For the first time, Chu Qiuqiu’s white lotus persona crumbled. She sneered while gnashing her teeth, “Did you do something to me?”

Many students were coming and going in the corridor. When they recognized that the sisters were fighting, they didn’t leave the scene.

“Damn, isn’t that Chu Yin?”

“And her sister—“

“What’s the situation? Why does it seem like they’re fighting?”

Chu Yin was annoyed by the feeling of being watched. Her eyes became cold, “More like, what did you do to me? Has it been ten years already?”

Chu Qiuqiu’s face turned pale.

Although there were not many people around her, she still had a feeling of being stripped off.

Even though Chu Yin had been silent about this issue, she was actually proud of her identity as a real daughter, right? Will people find out? 

No! She must not let them know the truth!

Chu Qiuqiu had forgotten her previous agenda and quickly made up with Chu Yin, “Sister, stop making trouble. I was just joking with you! Shall we go home together after school?”

Chu Yin smiled and turned away: “Who wants to go back with you?”

This scene was seen by many people. After a while, someone posted a thread in the forum to discuss this matter.

[Sister dispute? Is the relationship between the Chu sisters really bad?]

The thread was about the situation that happened in the corridor.

Anonymous 1: I think it’s normal since they recently just lived together.

Anonymous 2: I’ve been wanting to mention this before. Am I the only one who thinks Chu Yin and Chu Qiuqiu look alike? Are they twins? Has the Chu family made any public statement regarding this?

Anonymous 3: @2, even though they look alike, it’s considered an insult.

Anonymous 4: @3, I agree.

Anonymous 7: When did the country bumpkin gather so many licking dogs?

Anonymous 8: @7, If you’re also a country bumpkin who can rank first place in the exam and win the billiards championship, I will lick you too.

The following replies from the thread were distorted as two groups of people battled each other.

In the classroom of Class 5, Song Zhaolin held his mobile phone with great interest.

As both groups were tearing each other, he joined in and replied, “Yes! I’ll lick you too!”

After he posted, numerous people cursed him.

Song Zhaolin happily showed his mobile phone to Chu Yin: “Sister Yin, you’re popular! So many people are fighting for you.”

Chu Yin was so engrossed in her studies that it took a while for her to look up.

These students are too idle.

She took Song Zhaolin’s phone, searched out pieces of swear words from the browser, and then copied it directly into the post and responded.

As soon as these awe inspiring curses were posted, the thread became quiet.

Then Chu Yin turned her head and nodded: “Foul language leads to war.”

Song Zhaolin watched this whole set of operations and clapped in amazement.

A few minutes later, the post was deleted. 

As a result, he cried loudly, “Sister Yin, because you used my account to scold them, I was banned! The restriction won’t be released until a week later!”

Chu Yin looked at him like a strict father: “Browse the forum less and focus more on studying, silly son.”

Since Song Zhaolin could only read posts and couldn’t reply, his time browsing the forum decreased. Instead, he listened carefully for a while in class.

Chu Yin completed today’s learning task and got single word permission from the system.

She was already familiar with the system’s mode. The size of the reward directly depends on the difficulty of the task. Due to boosting her memory, her previous task level was also reduced. For example, for the same task, she could get more than a word as a reward, but now, she could only get one word.

The highest authority that Chu Yin had obtained so far was a sentence. What’s going on?

“The host can imagine freely, oh ~”, Xueji said.

To obtain a higher level of authority, Chu Yin felt that she should seek more difficult tasks. For example, the last English speech contest was at the municipal level, so if she goes to participate in the provincial or national competition, would she get a higher authority?

Chu Yin pondered for a moment.

As a senior high school student, what was the most difficult learning task?

College entrance examination?

If she could get first place in the college entrance examination, how high would the authority be given to her by the system?

Chu Yin’s heart warmed slightly.

This feeling of being able to dominate the world felt very good. This current life was more interesting than the previous life where she was stripped off of her freedom and killed.

When the time comes, the dog man, the fate of dying early, the character of being the male lead’s first love, would no longer stop her from reaching my dreams.

Whenever she thought about this, she would be ignited with a passion for learning.

Xueji silently watched, thinking: My King Yin is definitely powerful! [fist]

“Come on, are there any tasks?!” Chu Yin banged the system fiercely.

Xueji: “Yes…” It felt lucky that it met a host with a strong sense of professionalism.

Chapter 27 – This is better! (2)

The cold wind of December was blowing.

The atmosphere of Christmas on the campus had become more intense.

For the past few days, the decorations for the Christmas event were slowly being transferred to the school building.

Apart from preparing for the final exam, the students couldn’t avoid talking about the Christmas party.

“Hey, have you prepared your gift? What will you be giving this year?”

“I can’t think of anything. I plan to buy a figurine just like last year.”

“I also don’t know what to give but I know what I want!–I want Brother Zhen’s gift!”

“Also Senior Qiu Ze’s and Senior Chu Shi’s! Ah!”

Jiang Yan ran over to Chu Yin and sat in front of her during the breaktime, “Yin yin, have you thought about your gift? What are you going to give?”

As soon as she asked, many pairs of eyes quietly looked over.

Just like how most girls wanted to get Lu Zhen’s gift, many boys in the class also wanted Chu Yin’s gift.

When Chu Yin was asked about this by Jiang Yan, she didn’t think much of it.

“Maybe…cookies?” Chu Yin said with uncertainty.

It was obvious she didn’t have any other ideas since she chose the same gift in her previous life. 

But this didn’t matter. She would make sure that it won’t fall into Lu Zhen’s hands again.

Jiang Yan’s eyes widened in surprise: “You’re amazing! You can even bake!”

Since Chu Yin was a little princess in the family, Jiang Yan thought she only had studying in her mind. She didn’t expect Chu Yin to know baking!

Chu Yin waved her hand: “In fact, it’s not difficult. I’ll teach you next time.”

After eavesdropping for a long time, Song Zhaolin couldn’t help it, “Is it going to be really cookies?”

He also wanted Sister Yin’s gift!

Chu Yin nodded, then touched both Jiang Yan and Song Zhaolin’s head before getting up to go to the toilet.

As soon as she left, the boys immediately surrounded her: “Lin Zi, what is Chu Yin’s gift?”

Song Zhaolin: “The secret is only known to me and Xiao Yanyan.”

Jiang Yan helplessly sighed.

“Just tell us!”

“When the time comes, it will be a fair fight and anyone may get it!” Song Zhaolin triumphantly refused.

He didn’t care if he must take advantage of being Chu Yin’s desk mate. To get Chu Yin’s gift, he must remember the appearance of her gift box!

Hehehehe!!!

On Christmas Eve, Chu Yin asked the driver to stop at the supermarket. She went in and bought low-gluten flour, butter, and a cookie jar.

After dinner, she went upstairs to study. When there was no one downstairs, Chu Yin went to the kitchen.

The baking utensils were complete in the Chu family’s house. Since she was bored in her previous life, she used these things often.

She first took the butter to soften, poured sugar, and stirred well with a spatula. After the eggs were beaten, she mixed it with the butter then whisked it evenly. The sifted low-gluten flour formed into a dough. At this point, the cookie was basically done.

Next, she rolled the dough into sticks, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and refrigerated for a while. While waiting, Chu Yin went upstairs to do her homework.

Then she went downstairs again, took out the dough sticks, cut them into small round cakes, and placed them on the oiled-paper of the baking pan. It was then put inside the pre-heated oven.

It wasn’t long before the smell of sweetness came out of the kitchen.

Chu Shi smelled it when he went downstairs and unconsciously walked along the fragrance.

“Are you baking cookies?”

Chu Yin looked back and saw her brother: “Yes, for tomorrow’s gift.”

Chu Shi was silent for two seconds then pretended to ask nonchalantly, “Yin yin, what gift box are you planning to use? I still have some spare ones. Do you want to use mine?”

“…” Chu Yin said, “Brother, if you want to eat it, you can just tell me.”

“Oh…” Chu Shi nodded, “I want to eat.”

Chu Yin laughed.

The biscuits were baked quickly and came out in the oven after half an hour.

Chu Shi couldn’t wait to taste it. “Do you really want to give it away?”

Chu Yin said with a smile, “I’ll give you enough cookies to eat first.”

Chu Shi was satisfied and even ate a few pieces before asking: “Do you want to give it to them?”

Chu Yin paused for a moment, knowing that he was referring to their parents and Chu Qiuqiu. “It’s up to you. You can give them if you want.”

Chu Shi immediately said, “You have the right to decide since you made it. Since you gave me the right, then I won’t give it away. I want to eat all of it.”

Chu Yin had no attachment for the Chu family, which was obvious to Chu Shi. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. It was understandable she didn’t have any love for them.

If his sister was willing to get along well with him, he was already satisfied.

The siblings ate lots of cookies before Chu Yin set aside some cookies for the gift.

Then she looked down at the mess she made and planned to clean it and throw it all away. Because Chu Shi ate so many cookies, he was obliged to take out the garbage. He happily pushed Chu Yin back to her room then went out to take the garbage.

It’s Christmas Eve.

Lu Zhen wandered around the Chu’s villa area for a long time.

The cold wind blew his coat. Even though Lu Zhen felt his scalp going numb from the cold, he didn’t go back.

He wanted to take a chance to say ‘Happy Christmas Eve’

Lu Zhen walked back and forth many times for a long time before the gate of the Chu’s villa opened.

His heart felt like it was tightened as he calmly walked over. He looked up and was suddenly met by Chu Shi’s happy and rosy face.

“……”

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other for a moment, an unpleasant aura sparked from each side.

As Chu Shi walked past Lu Zhen to throw the garbage out, he said, “Isn’t it too cold to stay outside right now?”

Lu Zhen said coldly: “Just passing by.”

Chu Shi said, “Oh..it’s warm inside my home. I just ate my sister’s cookies.”

Lu Zhen: “Which sister?”

Chu Shi laughed brilliantly: “Sister Yinyin.”

Lu Zhen: “……”

Chu Shi left after throwing the trash. He closed the gate and turned off all the lights in the first floor.

Lu Zhen stood in the wind and sighed softly after a long time.

He felt sour.

The next day, which was the Christmas event, Song Zhaolin surprisingly arrived early. As soon as he sat down, he saw a lot of chocolates on Chu Yin’s table. There were all kinds of brands, flavors, and shapes.

When he compared to his table, there was only a piece of triangular chocolate.

After looking around the classroom, he realized everyone received triangular chocolate. It was purchased by the class monitor using the budget of the class.

“So dry.” Song Zhaolin felt sad for a long time.

After a while, Chu Yin came. Song Zhaolin immediately entered a state of preparation.

Chu Yin looked at the pile of things on her desk, a little surprised. She could feel that the attitude of her classmates to her was different from before. She had never received this kind of treatment in her previous life.

It doesn’t feel bad.

Chu Yin put down her school bag and took out her gift box casually under Song Zhaolin’s sneaky eyes.

Song Zhaolin was shocked and called out, “Sister Yin, you are too sloppy!”

He immediately found a white box with no bow or pattern on it! “You’re not afraid that no one will choose this?”

Chu Yin: “It doesn’t matter.”

Song Zhaolin took the box under the table, forced her to paint a blue, green and fluorescent yellow box with a colorful pen. Then he drew a cross with a pink pen and added a bow.

“…” After Chu Yin saw it, she almost exploded, “This is even uglier!!”

Song Zhaolin smiled, placed the gift inside the table hole for her, and happily ran away.

“–Remember to secretly put the gift. Don’t be seen!”’

Chu Yin reluctantly reached out and pushed the gift deep into the table hole, feeling very embarrassed.

Just as she was about to take out her hand, the back of her hand suddenly bumped into a cold thing deep inside the table hole. She took a look and saw a red fruit. 1

There was a ribbon tied to the fruit handle. Chu Yin looked at it and saw a fuzzy handwriting that said:

“Happy Christmas Eve.”

Chu Yin felt it was a little strange.

Chapter 27 – This is better! (3)

Christmas Eve was over, how could someone send apples?

After the students separately placed their gifts under the Christmas tree, they would hurriedly run away. 

Song Zhaolin happily fled to the International Class after placing his gift.

In the back of the classroom, Lu Zhen laid on the table, sleeping.

Song Zhaolin sat down: “Brother Zhen didn’t sleep well?”

Tan Ke shook his head saying he didn’t know. Brother Zhen came very early today. When Tan Ke arrived, Brother Zhen was already sleeping here.

When Lu Zhen woke up, he frowned as he straightened up.

He went to Class 5 very early and placed the apple inside her table instead of the words he couldn’t say on Christmas Eve.

Song Zhaolin couldn’t help sharing his joy with his brothers. “I will definitely get my deskmate’s gift this year!”

Lu Zhen was originally sleepy but was suddenly woken up by this. He looked at Song Zhaolin.

Tan Ke laughed at him: “How could that be? Many people are eyeing that gift already.”

Lu Zhen’s eyes lowered slightly and he did not speak.

Song Zhaolin smiled triumphantly, “I have mastered the appearance of my deskmate’s gift!”

Song Zhaolin, an extreme talker, couldn’t hold his mouth and spilled all the beans himself without Lu Zhen and Tan Ke asking him, “She originally had a white box, but I painted it colorfully with a pink cross in the middle. Hahaha!”

Tan Ke was stunned, “You’re a horrible person!”

At the side, Lu Zhen finally laughed.

“…Oh. “

Now I see.

The gifts were not collected until after the classes were finished in the afternoon. The most exciting gift-drawing arrived.

As soon as time came, the hall on the first floor was filled with people.

Gifts were piled up under the Christmas tree. The school security was in full alert to maintain peace and order.

“You can only pick one! You can’t go back once you choose a gift!”

“Go in a group! Stay calm so we can avoid stampedes!”

This event was one of the old traditions of Huiwen. Although everyone was excited, the order in the school still existed.

Chu Yin was dragged by the enthusiastic Jiang Yan to line up. They walked under the tree after lining up for ten minutes.

“Wow, there are so many. How can we choose which gift to pick?”

There were piles of gift boxes–small and large, to choose from. It was really amazing.

The girls who came in with them were very excited.

“I overheard in the International Class that Lu Zhen’s gift box is black!”

“Really? Ah, ah, I see the black one!”

“I saw it first!”

“No, I did!”

After listening, Chu Yin took away the nearest white box.

Jiang Yan hadn’t chosen yet so she turned and said, “Don’t wait for me. It’s too chaotic here. You can go back first.”

Chu Yin nodded, walked out from under the tree, and opened the gift which looked similar to hers. It was like getting a gift from herself.

Xueji: “Host, can you guess the person who gave that box?”

Chu Yin: “So many people, how can I guess?”

After she finished speaking, she had a bad premonition.

If it wasn’t Xueji didn’t know, it wouldn’t say that.

She looked silently at the box in her hand.

It’s not, right?

No way.

She stopped, took off the gift cover, and pulled out a velvet cloth lining.\

On top of it was a piece of pure gold—

Buddha statue.

In the lower right corner, there was a name—

Second year, International Class, Lu Zhen.

Chu Yin: “…”

A few seconds later, Chu Yin turned around and walked back.

Many girls were still looking for the gift box: “The black one just now is not Lu Zhen’s!”

“Which one is his?”

Chu Yin approached the gift pile sneakily, trying to put the hot thing back.

Who knew that before bending down, a security personnel stared at her, “Classmate, you are only allowed to take one! No changing of gifts!”

“What you’ve drawn is because of fate.”

Chu Yin: “…”

She scolded Lu Zhen in her heart. Just as she passed the corner in the process of returning to the second floor, she was suddenly stopped.

“Good student.”

Chu Yin looked up and saw Lu Zhen leaning against the wall, smiling while nodding towards the box in her hand.

“You got mine.”

Chu Yin wanted to throw the box on his face.

“Pure gold Buddha.” Lu Zhen looked down at her, “Do you like it?”

Yes, I like it so much. I love it.

Chu Yin was expressionless, “Classmate, since you are devoted to goodness, why don’t I do this?”

Lu Zhen didn’t expect that she would take the initiative to speak to him. He subconsciously straightened up and stared at her closely.

Chu Yin said, “–I will donate this Buddha to help more people.”

Lu Zhen was surprised.

After a while, he laughed. The smile in his eyes was clear.

“Give it. It’s yours anyway.”

Chu Yin came back to the classroom speechless. 

Song Zhaolin was crying. “How could that happen! Who is it! Who took my present?”

Chu Yin was a little surprised: “You didn’t get it?”

Song Zhaolin slapped the table: “I painted it so ugily. Why would someone snatch it! It’s unreasonable.”

Chu Yin sat down in her seat with a foreboding feeling.

Xueji: “Host, guess who took yours away.”

Chu Yin said, “Unlock the script!”

A few seconds later, the script opened, with a big headline:

【Lu Zhen got the gift from Chu Yin.】

Chu Yin’s eyes turned black.

——Junk script!! Rubbish!!!

She exchanged gifts with Lu Zhen again. Is there any reason for this!!

Ah, ah, I’ll kill Lu Zhen!!

Chu Yin seized the light pen without hesitation——

【Lu Zhen returned to the classroom, quietly opened the box in his hand, and pulled out a box of cookies from it. The fragrance has faded, but it can still be seen that it was hand-made.】

Chu Yin’s brain began to run wild.

Give him a box of…

Flies? Caterpillars?

Dog poop?

Chemical and biological weapons??

Chu Yin allowed her imagination to run in an extreme direction.

No, it seems too obvious.

Who would put these things in a gift box?

Why does she want to make a big change just for a dog man?

Chu Yin turned to the system and asked, “How many permissions do I have?”

Xueji: “Two [change word] permissions. Oh ~”

Chu Yin read the script again.

……

Lu Zhen returned to the classroom and took out the box from his pocket.

The colors of the highlighter were mixed together, making it look very ugly after it dried. But Lu Zhen didn’t care.

He admits that he is shameless.

Among the students in their grade, it was only them who exchanged gifts.

Exclusively for them.

Will it be the cookies Chu Yin baked last night? The one that Chu Shi mentioned.

The cookie that made him think about all night.

Lu Zhen unconsciously rubbed his knuckles as he carefully opened the box like a treasure.

Then, slowly, he pulled out…

Three keys 1

Lu Zhen: “??”

At the other end of the classroom, Chu Yin put away the script and smiled relaxedly.

Although the gift was moderate, the meaning behind it was profound.

——Do you have three keys for ten yuan?

——How many pairs do you want!!!
