<h4>Chapter 35</h4>


    "Sit here." Yan Xi said to Qi Yili.


    Yan Xi pointed to thest empty seat in the first row, which corresponded to the second tost seat in the second row across the aisle.


    Shen Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief.


    "I''m asking, is he your boyfriend?" Zhou Zhou kicked the stool again when Yan Xi ignored him.


    "What business is it of yours?" Before Yan Xi could speak, Shen Qiuyi already started talking.


    Ever since the school sports meet incident, Shen Qiuyi had been very unweing towards Zhou Zhou. Although Yan Xiter told Shen Qiuyi that thest match was not the final match between her and Zhou Zhou, and that the next match would be the finals, Shen Qiuyi had started being very protective of Yan Xi since that day, as if she was one of her own.


    "I''m asking her, it''s got nothing to do with you." Zhou Zhou retorted.


    Hearing this, Qi Yili hesitated a little. He could feel Zhou Zhou''s oppressive gaze sweeping over him, as well as the gossiping looks from the others.


    "Sit here." Yan Xi repeated without answering Zhou Zhou''s question.


    "Okay." Hearing this, Qi Yili no longer hesitated and sat down directly in thest seat of the first row next to Yan Xi.


    "Is he really your boyfriend?" Zhou Zhou deliberately asked loudly for the whole ss to hear.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yili frowned.


    The people around were shocked to hear this. At this high school stage, a puppy love rtionship was not something one could show off about. This sentence had undoubtedly put Yan Xi in an awkward spot.


    Early rtionships did exist in Qingteng College, but they couldn''t be made public.


    If gossipers spread rumors about this, it would be very malicious towards a girl.


    Crazy!


    Shen Qiuyi''s face was also ugly. She wanted to m the table and scold Zhou Zhou.


    Just as Shen Qiuyi was about to re up, Yan Xi stopped her.


    "She and I aren''t..." Upon consideration of the stakes, Qi Yili also started to exin.


    "Qi Yili is my brother. He got in through the formal exams. So stop spreading rumors, okay? It makes me very ufortable." Yan Xi interrupted Qi Yili and seemed a little angry.


    Brother?


    Everyone around was shocked to hear this answer. No wonder they were holding hands.


    But that''s not right. They look way too different.


    However, no one dared to chime in under the dark expressions of those involved.


    Qi Yili looked at her in a daze.


    【Isn''t Qi Yili someone who got in through the backdoor you opened? 】


    【It''s unimportant. Who cares about the reason? Even if he did get in through the backdoor, when people say those things, they still weigh whether the person backing him is offended or not.】


    Zhou Zhou finally heard Yan Xi''s answer. For some reason, the nameless anger he felt earlier disappeared as he looked at Qi Yili, not feeling as unpleasant towards him as before.


    "Stop messing around! Isn''t it still time for morning reading?" Guan Yongyan roared like a lion.


    "Do you all not need to study anymore? So gossipy! Don''t believe me? I''ll record down all your names and report to Teacher Peng if you don''t read!"


    Under Guan Yongyan''s shouting, almost everyone quickly took out their books.


    The ssroom was filled with the sound of reading again, and no one brought up what happened earlier.


    Right after morning reading ended, Qi Yili discovered an uninvited guest sitting next to him.


    "I discussed with Guan Yongyan just now and switched seats with her to sit next to you."


    Tu Qingluan was originally in the fourth row. She shamelessly sat down directly next to Qi Yili.


    Uninvited guests are up to no good. Qi Yili looked at Tu Qingluan''s smiling peach blossom eyes and subconsciously felt this.


    Throughout the day, Qi Yili felt that Tu Qingluan had sized him up openly and secretly countless times.


    The school bell finally rang and Qi Yili had never felt time pass so slowly.


    "Let''s go, brother." After Yan Xi packed up her things, she was about to leave with Qi Yili.


    Tu Qingluan suddenly stood up.


    "Xi Xi, aren''t you waiting for me? Have you forgotten our agreement?" Tu Qingluan looked at her innocently, as if Yan Xi was some scum who abandoned his wife.


    "I didn''t forget. I want to walk home with my brother today. He''s not used to things here yet. Let''s walk together another day."


    "Alright, I won''t disturb you two today. But Xi Xi, when are you going to tutor me in the end?" Tu Qingluan was anxious and spoke softly in a pitiful tone.


    【I was nning on doing it in a few days, afterforting my cute brother first.】


    Since this was the case, she was also impatient.


    "Tomorrow night."
