The Younger Brother Next Door is a School Grass

“Go away.” Lazily hooking the headphone cord on the drawer, Lu Xi turned his face sideways but there was a vague smile on the corners of his lips, which reflected in the clear glass window. “I have some business with the goddess in the room.”

The huge amount of information shocked Huang Zhou, making him burst with foul-language. “With Goddess? In the room? Doing business?”

“Ah,” Lu Xi nodded and replied, “So don’t bother me.”

“When did you jerk…”

Lu Xi removed the phone from his ear and hung up the call with a click of his index finger.

Turning back, he met with Zhou Sisi’s somewhat confused eyes.

“…” Oops, he seemed to have said something amazing on the phone.

The thin winter sunlight with little temperature scattered in through the window.

The teenager’s handsome face turned a little hot red.

“What does Goddess mean?” Zhou Sisi’s moist and clear almond eyes blinked lightly.

Lu Xi was stunned for half a second. “The goddess means…”

The explanation in Baidu Encyclopedia was as follows: The goddess originally refers to the title of deity or the supreme women; in modern society, it was often used to define the girl who was loved by men, but had not yet become the real love object.

Lu Xi’s hand clenched into a fist as he pressed it against his lips. “Ahem, it means a woman who is kind, beautiful as well as has a refined temperament.”

“I see.” Zhou Sisi smiled. “It’s too exaggerated, I can’t reach the level of a ‘Goddess’.”

“No, you can. You are my goddess,” Lu Xi said without hesitation.

Zhou Si Si shook her head slightly and looked at the English textbook on the desk. “Come on, let’s study.”

“Okay.” Lu Xi put on the posture of listening to the lesson carefully.

” ‘Burst into’ in textbooks means suddenly becoming, suddenly breaking into. Also, break into has the meaning of intruding.”

“There is a difference between these two phrases. It also means break into, and burst into is more urgent. In high school, the focus is on the meaning of ‘suddenly becoming’, which can be understood as suddenly entering a certain emotional state.”

“For example: Hearing the bad news, the poor girl burst into tears.”

Zhou Sisi’s long and thin eyelashes lifted as she looked at him while asking, “You translate it?”

“The poor girl suddenly burst into tears when she heard the bad news,” Lu Xi replied.

“Not bad. That’s roughly how it translates.”

“It also indicates a break-in, but ‘break into’ indicates a slower action. Unlike burst into, which can indicate an emotional change, it is used more to indicate a change in space.”

Zhou Sisi threw out the question again, “Can you try to make a sentence?”

Yes.

You have successfully broken into my heart。 ( You managed to break into my heart. )

Lu Xi muttered in his heart.

“Huh?” Zhou Sisi, who waited for a while, thought that Lu Xi was stuck and suggested, “How about you translate this: someone broke into my house yesterday.”

Lu Xi scratched the bridge of his nose. “Oh. Somebody… broke into my house yesterday.”

“Very good.” Zhou Sisi was not stingy with praise.

Dormitory 418 was a mixed dormitory that originally had five girls. Three, Class (2) students including Pan Yijin, and two from Class (1).

Pan Yijin was the round-faced girl with a red coat who was hostile to Zhou Sisi the day she moved into the dormitory.

Many female high school students might have people in their dormitories who liked to divide into cliques. Pan Yijin was one of these “leaders”.

Relying on the lack of “powerful” people in 418, she lured two girls in the same class, acted domineeringly in the dormitory, and secretly regarded herself as the boss in her heart.

One time she returned to the dorm late in the afternoon, and there was a roommate from Class (1) taking a shower in the bathroom, Pan Yijin definitely whined loudly.

At night, the lights in the dormitory were collectively turned off if Pan Yijin wanted to sleep. If someone else turned over and made a slight noise, she would be called by her to “remind” that they were “noisy”; if Pan Yijin didn’t want to sleep, she would pull the small group members without hesitation and talk nonstop.

The two Class (1) girls in the dormitory, Zhao Meng and Zheng Yiyi, were from ordinary Junior High School in the surrounding towns. They were simple, introverted, and hardworking students.

First, they were weak in numbers, and secondly, they were timid and did not dare to have a confrontation with the Deputy Director of the Education X Bureau like Pan Yijin—Pan Yijin had herself said it.

Pan Yijin was used to walking sideways in the small “turf”, and suddenly a well-known beauty in her grade Zhou Sisi moved into the dormitory, and she immediately wanted to give her a blow, but the other party came back neither softly nor hard.

Over the past month, Pan Yijin had worked hard to lead the isolation and cruelty of Zhou Sisi, but like kicking in cotton, she could not do anything, and the other party didn’t seem to care at all.

And it was indeed true, Zhou Sisi didn’t take Pan Yijin’s tricks seriously.

They were just strangers living in the same dormitory, it did not matter whether there was communication or not. Of course, if Pan Yijin offended her or harmed her, Zhou Sisi did not mind opening her mouth to argue.

The lights in all the dormitories went out seven or eight minutes ago, and it was long past the evening break.

Pan Yijin unscrupulously dragged two Class (1) classmates to chat.

Talking about the articles and photos posted on the Campus Ambassador account this morning, Li Jia said that Yuan Xuchao looked handsome in a small suit.

“You say Yuan Xuchao looks handsome? Are you blind? He looks very ordinary, okay?” Pan Yijin said contemptuously, “I don’t know how campus ambassadors choose unattractive people.”

Li Jia echoed like a wallflower, “It seems like Yuan Xuchao’s photo is okay, but the real person is ordinary.”

“Hm, the other ambassador is not good either.” Pan Yijin meant to point out.

Li Jia: “Yes, yes.”

Wang Yongmei glanced at Zhou Sisi’s bed with some embarrassment. Through the mosquito net, she could vaguely see that there was some light as she should be playing with the phone.

“Thinking about it, Yuan Xuchao is not as handsome as Sister Jin’s younger brother.” Li Jia said.

“My brother is just okay,” Pan Yijin said with implied pride. “My brother’s brother Lu Xi is really handsome, he outdone Yuan Xuchao by dozens of soccer fields.”

Li Jia was quick: “Yeah, Lu Xi is super handsome.”

“Mm-hmm, I think so too.” Wang Yongmei agreed.

“Definitely handsome, Lu Xi is the most handsome boy in our school.” Pan Yijin raised her voice, “Last week my brother asked me to go out for barbecue, Lu Xi asked me if I wanted orange juice, and handed me two skewers of chicken wings, Alas, he is very nice and gentlemanly.”

Li Jia said, “Wow, Sister Jin can go out to play with handsome junior brother again!”

Pan Yijin pretended to be indifferent, “It’s just a bunch of people eating and talking, what’s the point?”

“I’ve never spoken to Lu Xi, I’m envious.” Wang Yongmei said.

“Envious! I’m sour!” Li Jia said with a whimper, “Sister Jin is so happy that she can often play with handsome brothers.”

The three girls chatted and discussed the handsome junior.

Zhou Sisi wore noise-canceling earplugs, which almost completely cut off their conversation.

Yawning, she prepared to close her eyes and sleep.

The screen lit up again.

Lu Xi: Found a good breakfast restaurant

Lu Xi: I’ll bring you a steamed cake or something in the morning.

“No, I’m going to the cafeteria to buy breakfast.”

Zhou Sisi didn’t finish typing this line of words, and the opposite side bounced messages one after another.

Lu Xi: Can’t refuse.

Lu Xi: It’s a deal.

The next morning, Lu Xi arrived at the Senior classroom early with freshly washed fruits, hot pastries, and fresh milk.

Coming too early, he looked into the classroom from the corridor window, and there were only a few Seniors inside.

There happened to be a Senior emerging from the stairs to enter the classroom.

“Senior.” Lu Xi took two steps forward.

The boy pointed to himself, “Calling me?”

“Yes.” Lu Xi picked up a somewhat heavy bag of food and added, “Please help me put it on Zhou Sisi’s table.”

“This…” The boy – the study committee member in Zhou Sisi’s class – hesitated.

The study committee knew that the boy in front of him was Lu Xi, a popular figure in Class(2).

However, Zhou Sisi, who was fair-skinned, beautiful and gentle, was favored by many male classmates. From what he saw, three different boys came to deliver snacks or milk tea.

But she never accepted it.

“I’m sorry, I can’t help. Zhou Sisi won’t accept it.” The class committee told the truth.

Lu Xi’s mind turned a little, and he understood the potential meaning of the Senior. “She will accept mine, I am hers, cough, we often meet and eat.”

“You, you…” The study committee thought of a certain relationship.

Lu Xi deliberately guided and passed the “you know” look, “Please help me put it on her table.”

“Oh…” The study committee took the bag. 

Lu Xi pressed the tip of his tongue against his lower teeth, his rosy lips hooked lightly.

Placing his hands on the corridor railing, he wanted to confirm with his own eyes that the food was delivered, and also wanted to see where Zhou Sisi’s seat was.

But soon the smile on his face solidified.

The senior put his loving food on a certain table and the thing was there was a boy sitting next to it.

…boy?

Hold! Why was Zhou Sisi’s deskmate a boy?
