The school bell rang, calling the students for the first class.
Qin Shiwu and Qin Chu appeared together at the back door of the classroom.
Ah Mi, the English teacher, paused on the podium, glanced at the two of them, and asked, “Did you two get into a fight last night?”
Their clothes were not tidy, and their faces were gloomy.
Most importantly, there was a red mark on both people’s faces.
As soon as Qin Shiwu sat down, Lin Xiaomian asked him in a low voice, “Have you written your homework yet? I copied the English vocabulary for you last night.”
Qin Shiwu covered his face, “I didn’t write it. I fell asleep last night.”
Lin Xiaomian couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong with your face?”
Qin Shiwu held his face and said aggrievedly, “I have a strict mother at home!”
Then, at the same time, Ji Rang turned his head and stared at Qin Chu, “Did you really get into a fight with Qin Shiwu?”
Qin Chu rummaged through his table’s open shelf and took out a box of anti-inflammatory medicines. He drank it with water and gave a bitter smile, “There is a fierce wife at home.”
Ji Rang, “What wife? You have a girlfriend?”
He wailed in his heart: Don’t! There are still a lot of Senior and Junior Sisters waiting for you to date them on my phone!
Qin Chu thought for a while and said, “No.”
Is Lu Tong a girlfriend? Even if they were dating, he could only be regarded as a boyfriend!
Besides, he and Lu Tong weren’t dating. At most, it was an inappropriate male-male relationship. In a broader sense, he carried on the spirit of friendship and assisted others with the mindset of obtaining pleasure from helping others1I literally rolled my eyes while translating this sentence..
It was just a temporary mark, and it couldn’t be counted.
Ji Rang thought about Qin Chu’s character and then understood.
He glanced at the red mark on Qin Chu’s face and couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Lu Tong beat you up?”
The corner of Qin Chu’s mouth twitched.
To be honest, it really couldn’t be said that Lu Tong had beaten him.
In the morning, he and Qin Shiwu fell to the ground once, and the red marks on their faces were purely from the fall.
Lu Tong got up early in the morning and was very angry. After the father and son were kicked out of bed, they didn’t dare say a word. They went on to obediently brush their teeth and wash their faces. After Qin Chu arrived in the classroom, he suddenly returned to his senses: What am I afraid of him for?
Wasn’t being afraid of Lu Tong like being henpecked?
Didn’t he still want his face?
Just as Ji Rang was about to continue saying something to Qin Chu, there was a sudden commotion outside their classroom door.
He looked up and saw Old Zhao walking up to the front door with a girl.
“Who is this?”
The girl at the front door had been standing there for a while. She had an outstanding temperament and a very good appearance.
Her mere standing at the door attracted the attention of many male students in the class.
Among them was Qin Shiwu.
“Fuck me.” Qin Shiwu uttered a national curse in disbelief.
Lin Xiaomian asked, “Do you know her?”
After Old Zhao exchanged a few words with Ah Mi by the door of the class, she left the girl in the class.
Qin Shiwu stared at the other intently.
There was no other reason but that this woman was Qu Muyao — — His little aunt.
Last time she bid goodbye at the entrance of the school, Qin Shiwu almost forgot about his little aunt. Unexpectedly, Qu Muyao appeared in his sight again so soon.
“This woman……” Qin Shiwu swallowed, “Is Qin Chu’s sister.”
The tip of Lin Xiaomian’s pen paused, and she asked in surprise, “Qin Chu’s sister? How do you know?”
Qin Shiwu couldn’t say that he had actually travelled back in time to sixteen years before, and Qin Chu was his father. Of course he knew that this person was his sister, because according to seniority, he had to call Qu Muyao aunt.
“I saw her at the entrance of the school last time.” Qin Shiwu glanced at Qu Muyao in confusion.
Lin Xiaomian touched her chin with the tip of her pen, “Now that you say it, it seems that I have some impression of her.”
Qin Shiwu turned his head and asked, “Did you see her too?”
He remembered that there were not many people at the entrance of the school last time.
Lin Xiaomian shook her head, “I saw it on the campus forum.”
Qin Shiwu remembered what she said.
Yes, there was also a campus forum at Provincial No. 1 High School.
He was no stranger to this forum. To be honest, it had existed for sixteen years and been revised five times. The forum still existed until Qin Shiwu was studying at Provincial No. 1 High School.
And he was also a frequent visitor to this forum at that time — — The forum’s traffic was often discussed.
The students of Provincial No. 1 High School had been gossiping all day long for sixteen years. Every day, they did nothing but talk about petty stuff.
Lin Xiaomian opened her mouth to say, “But the post didn’t say that she was Qin Chu’s younger sister. It just said that she knocked over Chen Anqi’s milk tea. Since then, Chen Anqi didn’t seem to have come to see Qin Chu for a long time.”
When Qin Shiwu thought about it, he found that it was true.
Apart from Chen Anqi, even He Yuanyuan seemed to rarely come to see Qin Chu. Could it be that Qu Muyao was too arrogant last time?
Ji Rang looked at Qu Muyao and remarked, “What a gorgeous girl! Even if there is nothing else at Provincial No. 1 High School, there are a lot of attractive boys and beauties.”
The publicity committee member of Class 12, Xu Xiangchu, who was two seats away from him, asked, “Who is this person? Judging from what Old Zhao meant, she seems to be a transfer student.”
Ji Rang, “It’s October, and there are still transfer students?”
Xu Xiangchu said, “Who cares? This transfer girl is quite beautiful. I wonder if she has a boyfriend. Wait, is she looking at me?”
Ji Rang touched his chin and asked, “Why do I feel like she is looking at me?”
Ah Mi said softly from the podium, “Today is the sports meeting. If you want to go get new books in the afternoon, just let Qin Chu take you there. Old Zhao said that he was your brother, right? If you don’t understand anything in the class from now on, just go to him directly. Or you can go to the class monitor, that short classmate with short hair. ”
Qu Muyao scanned the class. Most of the people were whispering and looking at her secretly at the same time.
Ah Mi said, “Go down and sit down first. After self-study in the morning, we will go directly to the sports field. There is a sports meeting today.”
Qu Muyao nodded, “Where should I sit?”
Ah Mi stretched her neck and looked around. She then pointed her finger and said, “Just next to Qin Chu.”
Qin Shiwu stared at Qu Muyao for a moment until she sat in the back row of the classroom.
Qin Chu sat on the left side by the window, and Qu Muyao sat on the right.
The two of them didn’t exchange a word.
Qin Shiwu observed them secretly for a while, and his head was covered with black lines2
.
My little aunt and my dad…… Were they so tit-for-tat when they were young……
Lin Xiaomian pulled the corner of Qin Shiwu’s clothes and whispered, “Are you going to play volleyball today?”
Qin Shiwu nodded absent-mindedly.
Lin Xiaomian stuffed two wristbands into his hands, “It hurts when you play volleyball. So you’d better wear the wristbands.”
Qin Shiwu came back to his senses and suddenly asked, “Does Qin Chu have a 1,500-metre long-distance race today?”
Lin Xiaomian thought for a moment, opened the post, and put the phone in front of Qin Shiwu, “It seems like there is.”
On the campus forum, a new round of discussion had begun in full swing.
Starting at six o’clock in the morning, people kept posting questions asking where Qin Chu ran the 1,500 metres today.
The campus forum of the Provincial No. 1 High School was fully open to the public. So not only students from the Provincial No. 1 High School but also students from other schools were mixed in it.
Moreover, the sports meeting of the Provincial No. 1 High School was also partially open to outsiders. During this period, the school’s control was not as strict as usual. Many students from the Provincial No. 4 High School, which was connected to the Provincial No. 1 High School, secretly climb over the wall to come have fun.
In addition to discussing Qin Chu’s sports meeting schedule, the forum occasionally mixed in posts about Lu Tong.
Qin Shiwu then remembered that Lu Tong also had a long-distance run today.
However, when he woke up in the morning, his face didn’t seem to look good?
Lu Tong was born with a little hypoglycemia. His lips were very light in colour, and when he got up in the morning, his legs were obviously weak.
— — How can you run long distance in this state?
The homepage of the forum posts was screaming, “Ah, ah, ah, ah.”
Scrolling down, there were also on-site teaching sessions by students from No. 1 Middle School, giving advice to students from other schools on how to fish in troubled waters3to take advantage of a crisis for personal gain under the nose of Director He, enter Provincial No. 1 High School, and enjoy the long-distance running of the school grass.
Qin Shiwu scrolled through it for a while and closed the post, not feeling any interest.
The radio music started playing, and the sports committee member Gu Kaifei organised the students in the class to walk all the way to the playground.
Qin Shiwu stood up and subconsciously wanted to follow Qin Chu’s footsteps.
Unexpectedly, halfway, Qu Muyao grabbed him by the collar.
“Hello.”
Qin Shiwu shrank his neck and looked back at Qu Muyao.
“Are you Qin Chu’s cheap son?”
Qin Shiwu blinked.
It seemed that before Qu Muyao went to school, she inquired about Qin Chu’s interpersonal relationships in school.
Qin Shiwu was very close to Qin Chu. Anyone who played with them knew that Qin Shiwu was half-serious and half-unserious in calling Qin Chu “Dad”. This was originally not a big deal. After all, high school boys were determined to be the fathers of their classmates. However, when Qu Muyao said this, Qin Shiwu completely felt as if he seemed to be seen through by his little aunt.
Sixteen years later, the person with whom he had the best relationship was Qu Muyao.
At that time, Qu Muyao was not as fierce as she is now. In Qin Shiwu’s memory, his little aunt was gentle with him.
However, due to the various past lessons, Qin Shiwu no longer believed in Qu Muyao as blindly as before. He had found out that his little aunt had never told him the truth!
Qin Shiwu was ready to accept other people’s views4willing to accept other people’s views, and called out, “Little aunt.”
Qu Muyao was taken aback.
Qin Shiwu said, “You are Qin Chu’s sister. So ain’t you my aunt?”
Qu Muyao found pleasure in following his convictions and said, “You have gotten into the habit of playing this game of recognising relatives. But I have no interest in playing with you. Let me ask you, which class is Lu Tong in?”
This time it was Qin Shiwu’s turn to be taken aback, “Why are you asking about Lu Tong?”
Qu Muyao smiled coldly, “Didn’t you call me little aunt? How about I find you an uncle?”
Qin Shiwu: Huh?
He froze in place.
After a while, Qin Shiwu came back to his senses. It was like the big bang that scattered the universe was there in his mind. After his brain became fragmented, it restarted randomly.
…… Uncle…… What does that mean?
Qu Muyao was his little aunt. Now the little aunt said she wanted to find an uncle for him. There was nothing unusual about this. She was beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with her finding him an uncle. So after looking around, the little aunt decided to choose his mother as his uncle. Which was……
…… Terrible ah……
Qin Shiwu’s face was instantly petrified.
His facial expression cracked.
…… It is fucking terrible！
Fuck！
He suddenly knew now why Qu Muyao and his father were at odds with each other!
What does this mean? What kind of bloody Mary Sue TV series is this that is about a brother and a sister competing for a boy?
It turned out that such a big thing happened sixteen years ago, but he didn’t know about it? Why had he never heard Qu Muyao say it!
Fuck！
屮艸茻茻5This means:F***!!! In BOLD. This is a popular Chinese emote kinda expression. And I kept it as it is, cause don’t they also look like middle fingers?!!!!
That’s right, Qu Muyao wouldn’t tell him about this!!!
Qu Muyao stretched out her five fingers and waved them in front of him, “Why are you so stunned?”
Qin Shiwu came to his senses and was shocked, “Do you think that I’m stunned? My whole family is stunned! Are you looking for Lu Tong? Lu Tong is an alpha. Do you know that double a love is not popular now!”
Qu Muyao said, “So what?”
Anyway, she didn’t really like Lu Tong.
It’s just that she always had to fight over anything related to Qin Chu, and she didn’t like Qin Chu.
However, seeing Qin Shiwu’s reaction, Qu Muyao seemed to confirm something. She asked curiously, “So, does Qin Chu really like him?”
Qin Shiwu choked and said, “What!”
Qu Muyao hooked her fingers. According to her observations, the person closest to Qin Chu was Qin Shiwu. Most of the words that came out of his mouth were true.
She said, “If he doesn’t like Lu Tong, then why are you so nervous? Aren’t you going to complain about the injustice of Qin Chu?”
Qin Shiwu looked around, gritted his teeth, and said, “You know that you are acting recklessly! Haven’t you heard that you can’t bully your brother’s wife?”
Qu Muyao said, “Never heard of it.”
She paused and said, “I have something to say. Do you want to listen to it?”
Qin Shiwu was furious as he walked, “Say it!”
Qu Muyao smiled and said, “There is a saying that what is good to eat is nothing but dumplings; who is good to play with is nobody but a sister-in-law.”
Qin Shiwu: =口=!!!
Little aunt! Please wake up!!!!
There would be no outcome from you and my mother!!!!
Until everyone arrived at the sports field, Qin Shiwu hadn’t recovered from this nuclear strike.
He didn’t expect that when his little aunt was young, her ambition was not to be his little aunt but to be his, uh, dad?
