As soon as this comment was posted, it immediately caused a huge uproar in Su Xiyan's social media dynamic.
Chen Shuo put down his phone, just about to play games, when Penguin Instant Messenger kept prompting that someone had replied to his comment.
As expected of the campus belle, her popularity really was too hot!
According to what Su Xiyan said, the reason why she had added so many classmates in her Penguin account was because they were from the various student organizations she participated in. Many people were just unilateral fanboys. Except for issues related to studying and student organization affairs, Su Xiyan was always taciturn, rarely chatting much with others.
With such a great beauty, even if she chatted a sentence more with someone, that person would feel like their ancestral grave was spewing out green smoke.
Chen Shuo opened the Penguin social media page and saw that under his comment, there were many other students' comment replies.
"Who are you? What spring and autumn dreams are you having?"
"You're not even asleep yet? How can you start having daydreams already?"
"The campus belle Su doesn't need you to buy her apples!"
"Where did this little nobody come from, actually daring to tarnish our school belle Su's reputation?"
"Besides, even if the apples really were bought by you, what does it have to do with you whether school belle Su eats them or not?"
"@Su Xiyan, school belle Su, let's not bother with this person."
"@Su Xiyan, goddess, block him! Don't let some irrelevant person affect your mood!"
"..."
There were many more reply comments that Chen Shuo was too lazy to scroll down and read.
In short, it was various fanboys speaking up for Su Xiyan, uniformly feeling that Chen Shuo was deliberately being slick with his words or trying to take advantage of her popularity. Some even nosily urged Su Xiyan to block Chen Shuo.
This really was laughable.
Fanboys, oh fanboys. Licking until left with nothing in the end, such a simple truth, yet the fanboys don't understand.
At this time, Chen Shuo surprisingly saw a reply from Su Xiyan.
??
What the heck?
Chen Shuo hurriedly clicked to take a look. He saw that Su Xiyan was actually helping him clarify things.
"The taste of tonight's dishes was pretty good. I'll leave the apple for eating tomorrow!"
What was with this gentle tone??
Chen Shuo imagined Su Xiyan saying this sentence in an icy cold tone. To her, Chen Shuo buying apples was just a daily part of life, no big deal.
If it had been the past, if Su Xiyan saw Chen Shuo being attacked by a group of fanboys, she would have likely been gloating gleefully from behind her phone screen.
Yet today, she had actually replied to his comment? And her tone was quite calm too. To the other students, this was simply equivalent to Su Xiyan helping Chen Shuo clarify things.
It was like pulling Chen Shuo out from the whirlpool, so he wouldn't have to continue receiving the questioning and accusations from his fellow students.
Under Su Xiyan's social media post, the comments already numbered several pages, too many to count, and the number was still continuously increasing.
Amongst so many comments, Su Xiyan had only replied to Chen Shuo's comment.
In other people's eyes, what glory this was!
As expected, Su Xiyan's social media exploded like a pot.
The fanboys were heartbroken; the girls there to watch the show pulled up small stools, seemingly waiting for an【Official Announcement】 between the two.
Unfortunately, the expectations of these audiences were going to be dashed.
Chen Shuo knew that he and Su Xiyan were completely people of two different worlds.
They were like two lines on separate planes, never destined to intersect.
At the same time, Chen Shuo's Penguin Instant Messenger and WeChat were also exploding like pots.
The campus belle of Nanyi University was the focus of myriad eyes. Even with her aloofness like a glacier, there were still many eyes watching her.
Even the tiniest bit of movement would be infinitely amplified by others, becoming topic of discussion across the entire campus.
Chen Shuo swept a look at the messages sent to him. They were all asking more or less the same thing—What exactly was his relationship with Su Xiyan?
Apart from classmates and usual basketball club teammates, there were also many people he'd never contacted before popping up like zombies, peppering Chen Shuo with questions.
As for friend requests, the red number digit kept continuously increasing.
"...Is this really necessary? This frantic?" Chen Shuo said helplessly to himself, thinking things wouldn't have become like this if he hadn't been so impulsive to leave that comment.
At this time, there was a knocking sound at Chen Shuo's door.
Opening the door, Su Xiyan stood outside, a gloating smile on her face.
"How is it? What's it feel like to be the center of attention?" Su Xiyan waved her phone at Chen Shuo.
Her meaning was very obvious. She was asking about the social media post comments affair.
Chen Shuo was exasperated to the point of speechlessness: "You call this being the center of attention? Isn't this more like you setting me on fire to roast!?"
"I really don't know why I was so impulsive to leave you a comment."
"Is it still possible to delete it now?"
A sly fox-like smile played at the corners of Su Xiyan's moist red lips. "Too late, it's already come to pass."
Seeing Chen Shuo's angry appearance, Su Xiyan felt very satisfied.
A cute and lovable little brother like him would be worthless if not teased.
Su Xiyan was wearing a silk nightgown, the creamy white color shining with an elegant and luxurious luster under the lamplight.
The silk material was smooth as jade, making one involuntarily want to reach out and touch it.
The length of the nightgown was just right. The hem was even set with soft and delicate lace edging, adding a trace of feminine flavor.
The top half was a bit too cool. Su Xiyan had put on a shawl over her strapped nightgown to conceal the scenery that the nightgown itself couldn't cover.
Chen Shuo really didn't want to look at Su Xiyan again. But she was just too beautiful, exactly like a meticulously drawn painting by an artist.
Su Xiyan waved her hand lazily. "Go wash an apple for me."
Speaking of apples, Chen Shuo's stomach filled with anger again: "Weren't you not going to eat it? If you're not going to eat, then forget it. And yet you even took a picture and posted it online."
"If I go to school tomorrow, I'll definitely be interrogated by a bunch of schoolmates."
"When they ask me what relationship I have with you, how should I answer?"
Su Xiyan gave a faint laugh, her voice clear: "The whole school knows that I'm your family member."
Chen Shuo: "But..."
Su Xiyan's eyebrows raised slightly: "But what? You find it embarrassing to have me as your family member?"
Chen Shuo hesitated before speaking, then let out a sigh: "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic anymore. You don't understand."
Chen Shuo had previously unintentionally said twice that he and Su Xiyan had no common language between them.
The speaker had no intent, but the listener took note.
Perhaps Chen Shuo didn't even remember that he'd said such things before, but Su Xiyan had taken them to heart.
Hearing Chen Shuo say she didn't understand, her heart somehow inexplicably held some lost, disappointed feelings.
Chen Shuo put down his phone and went to the refrigerator for an apple.
Passing by Su Xiyan at the door, Chen Shuo brushed closely past her body, nearly touching her voluptuous peaks.
Chen Shuo didn't notice this detail, while Su Xiyan instinctively held her breath.
The sounds of gushing water and the scraping of a paring knife came from the kitchen.
Shortly after, Chen Shuo brought out a washed, peeled apple.
Casually grabbing some paper towels stored beside the refrigerator to wipe away the water droplets remaining on the apple, he then handed it to Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan's gaze was clear as she looked at Chen Shuo's focused expression wiping the apple. A very strange thought suddenly came to mind—she wondered which girl would get lucky in the future with such a considerate and domestic boyfriend material guy like Chen Shuo?
