Chapter 51: 051 Xu Boyan, Let Go_1Luo Ji, Xiu Heng, and Xu Yi were staring, dumbfounded.

    What on earth was happening?

    Any fool could see that Lu Qingyi had done it on purpose.

    "Sister, how could you do this?"

    A large portion of Lu Jiayue’s clothes was soaked, and her wrist was red from failing to catch the box.

    She bit her lower lip, holding back her tears.

    "That’s it."

    Lu Qingyi’s gaze was on the mineral water bottles scattered all over the floor. She spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

    "Lu Qingyi, she is your sister."

    Xiu Heng frowned, his face filled with anger.

    "Does it hurt?" He took Jiayue’s hand, looked at her reddened wrist, filled with worry.

    Girls have delicate skin.

    "It doesn’t hurt." Jiayue shook her head, hurriedly pulling her hand back, looking wronged, at Qingyi.

    "You should ask her if she treats me as her sister."

    Lu Qingyi smiled faintly, her eyes fixed on Jiayue directly.

    Playing the good sister on the surface, who knows what scheme is being planned behind her back.

    "Sister, why are you doing this?" Jiayue was particularly upset.

    "I don’t hit women."

    Xiu Heng looked at Jiayue with affection, then at Qingyi disapprovingly.

    He flexed his wrist slightly, with arrogance in his eyes.

    "Unluckily for you, I do hit men."

    Lu Qingyi tilted her head, her tone chilly.

    Xiu Heng felt a surge of nameless anger within him. He reached out to hit Lu Qingyi. Sёar?h the Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Being from a well-off family with good academic record, he’s used to being flattered by others.

    "Coincidentally, I hit men too."

    Just as Qingyi tried to raise her hand, she saw a hand stretched out in front of her, firmly holding Xiu Heng’s hand.

    Xu Boyan’s eyes were full of laughter as he looked down at Qingyi.

    Xu Yi: "..."

    Xu, his family’s master, has truly changed...

    "Let go!"

    Xiu Heng gritted his teeth as he whispered, feeling the pain in his wrist.

    The strength of this shopkeeper was impressive. He couldn’t break free.

    "Kid, do you want to let go?"

    Xu Boyan didn’t look at Xiu Heng. His tender gaze remained on Qingyi.

    Qingyi: "..."

    Ah, wasn’t it Xu Boyan himself who caught Xiu Heng’s hand? Why would he ask her?

    Xu Yi: "..."

    No, this isn’t his Master Xu.

    "Sister, please tell your boyfriend to let go. It hurts."

    Jiayue bit her lip gently as she carefully looked at Qingyi, her attentive gaze remained on Xiu Heng.

    "It’s just water, after all. We don’t need it."

    Luo Ji frowned, his tone was rather unpleasant. His gaze at Qingyi was also complex.

    Boyfriend?

    Lu Qingyi frowned, her puzzled gaze on Jiayue, her face cold.

    Tsk, even the boyfriend card has been played, Jiayue is quite...

    Heh, is she planning to report her to the school for dating?

    Lu Qingyi glanced at Xu Boyan, feeling somewhat awkward.

    Xu Boyan seemed to have his spirits lifted in an instant. The corners of his mouth twitched, even his glance at Jiayue softened quite a bit.

    Jiayue could really talk.

    Xu Yi: "..."

    Has his Master Xu been learning how to change faces lately?

    His feelings were complicated. Xu Boyan, who used to be aloof, now seemed to really like this girl, Qingyi.

    But how could Qingyi, who grew up in the countryside, hadn’t attended high school, and knew absolutely nothing despite her pretty face, be worthy of his Master Xu?

    God knows how he felt when he first saw Qingyi’s file.

    "I’ve run out of patience."

    Lu Qingyi squinted at Lu Jiayue, speaking deliberately, word by word.

    She had never been known for her patience, and having endured Lu Jiayue for so long, she was certainly at her limit.

    "Xu Boyan, let go."

    She spoke softly.

    Xu Boyan was momentarily stunned, meeting the girl’s gaze, his emotions becoming unexpectedly complex.

    This was the first time the girl had called him by his name, and he hadn’t realized that his name could sound so lovely.

    The three words Xu Boyan seemed distant when heard in full.

    "Just you wait. You’ll surely be kicked out of the school tomorrow."

    Xio Heng rubbed his sore wrist, his gaze firmly on Xu Boyan before turning and leaving without a backward glance.

    With a complicated look in his eyes, Luo Ji followed and left as well.

    "Sister, school rules forbid early love."

    Lu Jiayue made no move to leave, watching her sister Lu Qingyi cautiously, before her gaze flitted towards Xu Boyan again.

    The man was so handsome and cool; the perfect object of her idealization.

    "The school rules also say no makeup."

    Lu Qingyi glanced at Lu Jiayue indifferently and spoke in a slow, deliberate fashion.

    Lu Jiayue was delicate in her styling, always meticulous about face masks, washing, skincare, and makeup, never leaving out a single step.

    Did she think that Lu Qingyi was ignorant?

    "Sister, I’m not wearing any"

    Lu Jiayue instinctively touched her own cheek and bit her lower lip to refute, her face adorned with a look of grievance.

    Lu Qingyi suddenly laughed.

    Was admitting to wearing makeup that difficult?

    While Lu Jiayue was undoubtedly beautiful, it was unfortunate that her skin was slightly yellow and lacked glow, so she preferred to use makeup to conceal these facts about herself.

    "There’s foundation all over the place," Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow saying this.

    Lu Jiayue quickly checked her face in a pocket mirror, finding nothing amiss.

    How could her expensive and high-quality cosmetics be peeling off?

    "Didn’t you say you weren’t wearing any makeup? What do you need a mirror for then?"

    Lu Qingyi smirked, her gaze full of derision as she looked at Lu Jiayue.

    Such a slap in the face.

    "Sis, I have to go for formation."

    As the class was about to end, Lu Jiayue tidied away her mirror and hurriedly left.

    In the split second of turning around, a sharp glint flashed across the bottom of her eyes.

    Lu Qingyi, huh.

    That I’d been using makeup was surprisingly spotted by Lu Qingyi - most people weren’t even aware that I wore makeup, and assumed that it was my natural complexion.

    She was skilled at applying cosmetics and used effective products, which was why her looks gave an impression of being natural, with virtually no traces of makeup being visible.

    "Girlfriend?" Xu Boyan chuckled lightly, his voice soft and gentle.

    Looking at Lu Qingyi, his gaze was full of indulgence.

    Given the kid did not refute Lu Jiayue’s words, did it signify that he was nearing eventual success?

    Lu Qingyi: "..."

    What kind of nonsense?

    "Didn’t you just say no?"

    The man chuckled softly, his throat filled with joy.

    Lu Qingyi: "..."

    Was that the point?

    While I did not deny it, I did not admit it either, right?

    "Ah, the school rules do say no early love."

    Lu Qingyi spoke in a slow, deliberate manner, her reaction somewhat delayed.

    Upon hearing Xu Boyan say ’girlfriend’, her heart was indeed somewhat shaken.

    She touched her rapidly beating heart, unable to articulate her exact feelings.

    Nibbling her lower lip, her eyes filled with sincerity.

    Xu Boyan: "..."

    After turning eighteen, it wouldn’t be deemed as early love anymore.

    Does the kiddo have some misunderstanding about early love?
