There is no need to mention how handsome Ji Xun is. Her own brother is of course good-looking, a cute little guy.

Some were receiving awards on the podium, some were concentrating on studying at their desks, some were lecturing on the classroom podium, some were staring out the window with their chins in their hands, and some were reading quietly on the playground... They were all aloof, noble and aloof, but in Shang Qing's eyes, they were well-behaved.

The most common photos are of her and Shang Qing:

One was on the playground, the two of them sitting in the stands, leaning against each other, Shang Qing was talking about something, looking very happy, while Ji Xun was looking at her obediently, with a gentle smile;

One is a book corner, where two people are eating. Ji Xun is peeling shrimp for Shang Qing, looking very focused.

One photo shows them in the library, with their heads close together. It's obvious that Ji Xun is explaining something to Shang Qing in a low voice, while Shang Qing's brows are furrowed tightly, as if he doesn't quite understand.

In one photo, Shang Qing was standing on tiptoe in the corridor, helping Ji Xun straighten his collar. Ji Xun was slightly bent over, his eyes smiling.

One photo shows a campus corridor. Ji Xun is carrying Shang Qing, who has a leg injury. Shang Qing is swinging his legs leisurely and eating an ice cream.

……

Shang Qing loved every one of them. She was practically screaming, "These students are all secretly talented. How can they take such beautiful photos?"

As he approached Shang Qing, watching her flip through the photos and comments, Ji Xun kept a gentle smile. He was certainly aware of the campus wall; his classmates often mentioned it, but he wasn't interested. Until that time, when he heard they had seen Shang Qing's photo on the campus wall.

Ji Xun immediately searched for and downloaded the app, becoming a user of the platform. His phone also contained more photos of the two of them.

Looking at her, saving each photo, his smile grew wider, his eyes filled with soft starlight.

Eh? What's this one?

Among the many photos, Shang Qing saw one in which Lai Lin was holding her and running quickly.

This photo, this angle...

"I didn't expect Lai Lin to be so handsome. He has strong boyfriend power!"

However, she lingered on that photo for far too long. She even said, "Lailin is quite handsome. He's got a lot of boyfriend power!"

The most important thing is that she actually enlarged the photo and commented on it: "I didn't expect that skinny-looking nerd to actually have muscles. The strength of his arms is really shocking. Hmm, his expression is very serious, and he's pretty cool."

He frowned, and Ben's gentle smile instantly turned cold as ice.

"Hello!" Shang Qing was watching intently when her cell phone was snatched away. She glared at Ji Xun in dissatisfaction. The meaning was very clear: you have to give me a reasonable reason.

Ji Xun looked innocent and reminded gently, "We're almost at school."

Shang Qing looked outside. Indeed, they were near the school. No problem, I could check on my phone when I got to school, Shang Qing thought happily.

Looking at Shang Qing's smiling face, Ji Xun knew exactly what she was thinking. He could only sigh helplessly and glance at his own arms. They were quite thin. But, but he also had a sense of strength. Why couldn't his sister see that?

Ji Xun admitted that he was a little jealous. His sister had followed someone else, and that person was none other than Lai Lin, a very outstanding boy who had been in his ears all the time.

During the few days they shared a room, Lailin and I got along very well. They didn't talk on the first day, but later on, Lailin took the initiative. Especially since they were a team, they would discuss competition content and plans. Gradually, they were no longer strangers.

When we were alone in the room, we didn't say much, and since we were two unfamiliar boys, it wasn't normal for us to have so many topics to talk about, but it still felt good.

After getting off the bus, the strong wind almost made Shang Qing stumble, but fortunately Ji Xun held her hand and protected her tightly, so there was no problem.

The other students were not so lucky and were blown all over the place.

Shang Qing lowered her head, held in Ji Xun's arms as they walked quickly against the wind. Trust was that simple.

Lai Lin, who had just gotten out of a private car, naturally saw the loving brother and sister.

He admired Ji Xun very much. Lai Lin grew up in an environment where there were many outstanding people around him, but it was rare to see a boy with such outstanding abilities.

Ji Xun was usually taciturn, but once he reached his professional realm, he demonstrated exceptional intelligence and leadership, playing a pivotal role within the team. I initially thought the math competition was a coincidence, but as I participated in subsequent events, both large and small, he excelled and became increasingly comfortable, becoming a true core member of the team. Crucially, his talent wasn't limited to mathematics; he was gradually demonstrating his exceptional talent across a wide range of fields.

His test scores, however, were his least dazzling attribute. Yet, he remained the same: unassuming, unpretentious, and unassuming, maintaining a proper distance from everyone. Calm and reserved.

Only when he was with Shang Qing, he was brilliant, lively, gentle, and a young man with a halo.

Still remembering that time when they went to S City, Shang Qing became an errand boy ever since he knew that he and Ji Xun lived in the same room.

"Lai Lin, be nice to my brother and don't bully him. Otherwise, when you come back, I won't forgive you." Shang Qing was extremely arrogant and domineering, with a bad little expression, which was very vivid and cute.

Lai Lin knew her personality very well. She was impetuous, like a happy bean, and had endless energy.

He could imagine that if this junior student in front of him complained to Shang Qing, she would definitely chase him and beat him up when she got home.

He didn't like interacting with girls, but for some reason, he saw her helpless and depressed expression from afar, yet she kicked the thief without hesitation. He wanted to approach her and get to know her, but because the thief had been caught, he didn't realize it.

The second time they met was when he secretly followed Shang Qing to a run-down residential complex. He saw how sensible she was, always thinking of her family. Furthermore, he learned that she was a girl.

It was only during the third exam that he realized they were both in the same school, both seniors. He was thrilled. But she didn't look up, just kept reading. He couldn't resist, wanting to talk to her like a young boy. Seeing she didn't say anything, he couldn't help but stand in front of her, being mistaken for a flirt. Of course, his intention at the time was indeed to strike up a conversation. She was a girl with a unique personality.

In order to be in the same class with Shang Qing, he used his connections and ended up in an ordinary class, which he could have been in. This was also the right choice for him.

Every day, he hoped to catch Shang Qing's attention. Sometimes, he even said something to irritate her, so much so that she would drop her book and chase him. He was happy, even though his punches were not like those of a little girl. Every time they hit her, she would grit her teeth in pain.

But he couldn't help it. It wasn't until the exercises after the midterm exam that he really said the wrong thing. Seeing her sadly leave, he was a little overwhelmed. He regretted it so much that he even wanted to hit himself. When he remembered to chase her out, it was too late. She was being coaxed. Under the light and shadow, Shang Qing tilted her head back, her eyes flushed. Ji Xun brushed her messy hair behind her ear and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, so focused and doting. He couldn't put his finger on what he felt, but something inside him was breaking through.

That day, when he saw her fall to the ground, vulnerable and helpless, and he held her in his arms, he knew why he always wanted to provoke Shang Qing, and he knew what it felt like in his heart...
