The Younger Brother Next Door is a School Grass

There was undoubtedly an element of pride in Lu Xi’s character.

The young master, who had never been wronged since childhood, had experienced the taste of not being able to get what he wanted for the first time, and in the matter of love.

He tried to turn the pages of this book several times.

But, turning left was the front cover, turning right was the back cover.

With that, he reluctantly admitted that the thin pages in the middle were all printed with bits and pieces related to Zhou Sisi.

She wanted to be a friend and a neighbor like he used to be?

Okay, he could pretend.

Even though he opened her chat box to type lines of words multiple times during the late nights of tossing and turning, he didn’t dare to send them before finally deleting them.

He couldn’t count how many things he had confided his feeling on the “Huali No. 3 High School Confession Wall”, and felt hypocritical.

But why did she get so close to other boys?

On the red banner where senior high school students made wishes, “September, Capital University——Zhou Sisi” and “Wait for me, Capital University——Yuan Xuchao” were next to each other, no matter how he looked at it, it was a great eyesore for him.

Time and again, he saw them walking side by side, laughing and joking. And this time, she even brought him downstairs…

Lu Xi’s internal organs were aching from the acid of jealousy.

He couldn’t stand it anymore.

The moment his lips pressed against hers, Lu Xi’s heart trembled along with his whole body. As she just opened her mouth to speak, her soft lips parted slightly, enabling him to touch some wetness.

No experience, only instinct made him venture further. Just then there was a force on his chest, it was her hand that was pushing hard.

Lu Xi was slightly comforted by the kiss, regained some sanity from this sudden force. It didn’t seem very good. Reluctantly, he withdrew his face and pulled a palm away with red ears. “I, I…”

The breaths of the two people were still lingering and entangled.

Zhou Sisi put both hands against his chest, the thin summer clothes couldn’t block the tightness and not so exaggerated feeling of his muscles. It couldn’t hide the vibrations from his racing heart, that was much faster than her.

“I’m sorry,” Lu Xi’s hoarse voice sounded.

His sweetheart seemed to be in shock, the short hair around the ears and the side of her face was slightly messy. The pink lips were slightly parted, the corners of the eyes and the tip of the nose were red with her eyes rippling.

“You… let me go,” Zhou Sisi pursed her lips, and felt the presence of his hands around her waist.

Lu Xi obediently let go, his exquisite eyes locked on hers, “I, I really like you.”

“…” Zhou Sisi lowered her eyelashes.

Lu Xi: “Can you think about me?”

His pleading was helpless as the tone emanated a deep longing with a hint of pitifulness. 

Zhou Sisi whispered: “You are young…”

“I’m not young anymore.” Lu Xi pressed his thumb on the knuckle of his index finger.

Zhou Sisi: “You’re just going to be a sophomore in high school…”

“It’s time to study hard, isn’t it?” Lu Xi pulled down the corner of his lips.

“Yeah.” Although Zhou Sisi felt that with his family situation, he could have a good future without studying.

“Study, good.” Lu Xi said, “Can you please give me extra lessons every week?”

Zhou Sisi said gently, “Your intelligence and learning ability are very good, so you don’t need to make up lessons.”

“..It’s great.”

“Zhou Sisi, I want to hear from you personally,” Lu Xi clenched his jaw and continued, “Do you really not like me at all?”

The sky was seemingly burnt with the bright orange red and golden yellow sprinkled to the earth that penetrated into the quiet house before surrounding the confronting boys and girls.

Under the scrutiny of his gaze, the word ‘no’ refused to pop out, much less the nine words, ‘I really don’t like you at all.’

“I…” Zhou Sisi frowned slightly before saying, “I don’t… know.”

“Look into my eyes.” Lu Xi didn’t allow her to dodge.

Zhou Sisi: “…”

“Why don’t you look at me? You, it’s not that you like me, you don’t like me even a little bit, right?” Lu Xi’s eyes were filled with evening sunlight abruptly lit up.

Zhou Sisi’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly said, “I… still have something to do.” 

With those words, she fled his house.

Schooling was complete, so Sisi no longer had to help her teacher anymore.

Yuan Xuchao said that he would like to thank Zhou Sisi for borrowing books and notes before the college entrance examination and asked her to meet at milk tea shops or dessert shops several times. Zhou Sisi declined on the grounds that she didn’t want to go out due to the hot weather.

At 8:00 p.m. on June 24th, Province X opened the website to check the results of the college entrance examination.

After dinner, Zhou Sisi read novels in her room as usual. Chen Cui, who was carrying red dates and longan soup, knocked on the door and walked in, “Have you checked your grades?”

Zhou Sisi just put down the book and glanced at the small desk clock, “No, I’ll check now.”

The most crowded time had passed, Zhou Sisi opened the webpage, entered the corresponding information according to the prompts and quickly found the score.

As expected. It was more than twenty points higher than the previous life.

“Awesome!” Chen Cui was much more excited. She exclaimed in joy, “My daughter is too good!”

Her mother didn’t like to study when she was young, and she didn’t do well in the college entrance exams that year, but luckily Sisi wasn’t like her.

Sisi was the greatest pride in her life.

“How many points does this have to exceed the first line?” Chen Cui couldn’t figure it out.

Zhou Sisi looked calm, “The score line will be announced in two days.” She couldn’t remember exactly what the score line was in her previous life, but she only remembered that her ranking was about the top 280 in Province X.

This time, the ranking should advance to within one hundred and fifty.

“Oh, it didn’t come out at the same time.” Chen Cui touched the soup bowl with the back of her hand before replying, “It’s getting cold, come on, drink it quickly.”

Zhou Sisi picked up the spoon. “Well, thank you mom.”

Chen Cui nestled in watching her daughter drink soup for a while as she thought of something, “Hey, have you been to Lu Xi’s house recently?”

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Sisi’s spoon accidentally knocked against the rim of the bowl and made a light tapping sound.

“How are Lu Xi’s grades now?” Chen Cui didn’t notice her daughter’s strangeness, so she continued, “Didn’t you give him extra lessons during the summer vacation?”

Zhou Sisi replied one by one: “His total score in the June monthly exam was 136 in his grade. I didn’t give him any extra lessons during the summer vacation.”

Chen Cui: “He’s made great progress, and this kid is pretty good.”

Zhou Sisi: “…um.”

Chen Cui: “Hey, during the Spring Festival this year, I heard from Lu Xi’s mother that when Lu Xi’s father returns, they will move before April.”

Chen Cui: “I wonder, his father came back a long time ago, how come they haven’t moved yet?”

Lu Xi’s family was going to move to another place?

Zhou Sisi remained silent, pursing her lips slightly, which were stained with soup.

The college entrance examination score cut off was released, and the corresponding ranking for each score was also out.

Zhou Sisi’s ranking was dozens of places higher than she expected.

In her last life, the university she attended belonged to the mid-stream 985 ranks, and this time, she could take a step further.

In the days leading up to her grades, she was called by teachers in the admissions team from several top-tier universities in China.

Chen Cui was beside her when Zhou Sisi filled out her application for the college.

She respected her daughter’s wishes and did not interfere in the slightest.

The first target university, Zhou Sisi chose Capital University, which was written on the red banner of the 100-day oath, and the target major was clinical medicine, which she had applied for.

From filling to submission, it didn’t take much time.

In the pond in the central park of the community, pink and white lotus blossoms were gradually blooming. The singing of cicadas was getting louder and louder day by day.

Fearing that her daughter would be bored at home every day, Chen Cui suggested that she take advantage of the summer vacation after the college entrance examination to go on a trip with her classmates.

“It’s fine, it’s good to be at home.” Zhou Sisi said while holding the thick collection of stories she hadn’t finished reading.

Going on a trip would cost a lot of money and she didn’t want to waste the family money.

And she won’t be bored at home. Apart from reading books and watching movies, she would write some articles for some literary and artistic official accounts, which could earn some small amount of money.

However, during the rest of the holiday after mid-June, Zhou Sisi never saw Lu Xi who stole her first kiss again.
