Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 186 Family Affection is the Most Stable Emotion in the World

"Sui Sui, do you like forced love?"

"Like it."

The girl smiled sweetly at him, her beautiful eyes crinkling.

The voice was as sweet as if it had been soaked in honey.

They were so close, their warm breaths mingling together. Without hesitation, if he lowered himself just a little bit more, he would touch her lips.

Everything seemed so natural, as long as you ignored the five fingers of her palm.

Almost the instant she finished speaking, Shi Sui delivered a clean and swift chop to Pei Shuoxun's neck.

The hand chop is dangerous, but Pei Shuoxun had been the subject of hundreds of experiments, so Shi Sui could easily control him.

Precise angles and perfect control of force ensured his dizziness was peaceful.

She really loves to use force.

Shi Sui moved, flipped the person on top of her onto the back of the sofa, and then slid off the sofa smoothly.

She sat on the ground, her elbows resting on her knees, looking somewhat helpless.

She thought that after the last breakup, the brother-sister sworn brotherhood, and the more than ten days they hadn't seen each other, Pei Shuoxun's incomprehensible thoughts would disappear.

It turned out not to be.

He remained unchanged in his wicked intentions.

So annoying.

Seventeen is the perfect time to study and learn, definitely not the time to fall in love.

Shi Sui sighed.

She still couldn't understand why Pei Shuoxun liked her.

How wonderful it was back then, full of playful bickering and touching brotherhood.

Now that they've met again, he suddenly confesses his feelings.

It's not like it's the first time I've known she's a woman, so why did I suddenly fall in love with her?

She was terrified!

She used to be a bit of a tomboy, so she vowed to be his brother for life.

Now it's even more difficult, so let's just be like siblings.

Shi Sui felt that since she treated Pei Shuoxun as her older brother, he should treat her as his younger sister.

If all else fails, she can act as his older sister and discipline him.

Romantic relationships may involve arguments, breakups, and even estrangement, but family ties are different; family ties are the most stable relationship in the world.

Although her blood relatives abandoned her, Shi Sui still felt that family was the best, and her Aunt Chen was the best.

After a moment of random thoughts, Shi Sui stood up and looked at the boy who had been knocked unconscious on the sofa.

The boy lay on the sofa, oblivious to everything, his eyes closed, covered by fine eyelashes, looking gentle and harmless as he slept.

Shi Sui leaned down and checked his breathing; it was even and steady.

As if sensing the touch, the boy's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Shi Sui immediately held her breath in tension, but saw that he didn't make much of a move, only slightly furrowing his brows in unease.

After the initial tension subsided, I belatedly realized, what was there to be nervous about?

One chop to the neck would definitely keep Pei Shuoxun unconscious until dawn.

So Shi Sui went back to her room to get a blanket, wrapped him up tightly to make sure he wouldn't catch a cold, and put a pillow behind his head.

The boy's tall stature of 188 cm made the sofa seem a bit narrow, as if he would roll off the sofa if he moved even slightly.

But what does this have to do with Shi Sui?

Bad guys don't deserve to sleep in bed.

After dealing with Pei Shuoxun, Shi Sui picked up her phone and opened "Love and Pay-to-Win: Forced Marriage".

She was curious about his progress in the game, having played for so long and drawn so many gold cards; he should have passed the levels easily by now.

The result—how come I didn't even complete a single level?

That's so stupid, this guy really doesn't know how to play games.

The system has released a self-study task, requiring students to master all the high school knowledge points during the winter break.

Since the winter camp training, Shi Sui's learning efficiency has improved significantly through repeated pressure, and her logical thinking and memory abilities have also been enhanced.

I bought online courses to study on my own, and then did some practice questions after finishing the courses.

My thought process was incredibly clear when I solved the problem, and I felt incredibly refreshed after finishing it.

So engrossed in studying that he forgot there was another person at home.

It wasn't until she heard a knock on the door that Shi Sui remembered Pei Shuoxun.

Having just finished the questions, Shi Sui got up to open the door.

Pei Shuoxun rested his hand on the door frame, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Sui Sui, it's time for breakfast."

Shi Sui was slightly taken aback.

She was somewhat surprised to find that the guy was dressed neatly and didn't have his collar open.

Sure enough, people become obedient when they are beaten.

Shi Sui followed him to the dining table.

Pei Shuoxun placed the breakfast in front of her and asked, "I just saw some test papers on your desk. Did they disturb your studies?"

It's a breakfast platter and a glass of fresh milk. The platter includes a bagel with blueberry cheese filling, green avocado, golden scrambled eggs, and pink shrimp. The colors are very appetizing.

"No." Shi Sui shook her head, then looked up and asked him, "Chen Xun, what time did you get up this morning?"

"I fell off the sofa and then woke up."

"Hmm?" Shi Sui, who was munching on a bagel, looked up from inside the bagel and asked, "Why do you toss and turn so much in your sleep?"

Pei Shuoxun: "..."

Shi Sui asked with concern, "Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

Pei Shuoxun smiled helplessly: "You've wrapped me up so tightly, it's hard for me to fall and get hurt."

A second later, he added, "He fell off the sofa at three o'clock."

Shi Sui shoved the bagel into her mouth, then paused, stunned: "And what about after that..."

She looked up at him carefully, especially scanning his eyes and the area under his eyes. He had some bluish dark circles under his eyes, but they weren't very noticeable.

Pei Shuoxun lowered his eyes and continued her words: "After that, I never fell asleep again."

Shi Sui gave a faint "oh," knowing she shouldn't feel sorry for him; his insomnia was his own fault.

Who told him to disobey and not come home last night?

Serves them right.

Shi Sui lowered her head, used her fork to pick up a slice of avocado, shrimp, and a large piece of scrambled egg, and stuffed it into her mouth in one bite.

Is it to your liking?

Shi Sui looked up and saw Pei Shuoxun sitting opposite her, holding a cup of coffee, but his gaze was fixed on her, waiting for her answer.

"It's delicious! Your cooking is always excellent." Shi Sui paused for a moment, then added, "I'm not a picky eater. Actually, you didn't need to make it so elaborate; it seems a bit troublesome."

“It’s no trouble at all,” Pei Shuoxun said. “I’ll take care of the kitchen and wash the dishes. You just need to enjoy yourself.”

Shi Sui: "..."

Her little scheme of not wanting to wash the dishes was completely discovered.

Shi Sui recalled how she used to always find excuses to go to Aunt Chen's house for meals. When Aunt Chen cooked, she would stick to the side and help out.

But one time, Aunt Chen's shop was doing exceptionally well, and worried that she might be hungry, so she asked Chen Xun to cook for her.

He seems to be a natural-born chef, and his first attempt at cooking was at a level where he could open a restaurant.

Shi Sui ate three bowls of rice in a row.

Later, Chen Xun did all the cooking, and she couldn't just eat without doing any work, so she went to wash the dishes.

The breakfast on the plate was quickly finished, and Shi Sui picked up the milk and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink slowly, don't choke." Pei Shuoxun pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.

Shi Sui quickly wiped her mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "Chen Xun, I'll go wash the dishes."

"Ok?"

“You didn’t sleep well last night, why don’t you go home and get some sleep?” Shi Sui thoughtfully considered his needs.

She also thought about herself; what if this guy stayed at her house again today and wouldn't leave?

Pei Shuoxun's gaze fell on her, seeing right through her, and he chuckled softly: "Washing dishes won't take up much time. I'll go to sleep after I'm done."

He stood up, walked to her side, and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.

He bent down, leaned close to her ear, and asked, "Sui Sui, can I sleep in your bed?"

His voice was low and had a lazy, magnetic quality.

Shi Sui stood up, and they placed a chair between them to maintain a safe distance.

She looked at him and shook her head: "No, you should go back to your own home and sleep."

"You used to sleep in my bed, does that mean our relationship can't be as close as it used to be?"

Shi Sui avoided his gaze and thought carefully before saying, "Of course, we can't be as boundless as before."

Pei Shuoxun smiled, clenched his fist and then let go.

He knew he had done something wrong last night; Shi Sui didn't seem to like being too forceful.

Do you like Xu Chaomu, who uses the guise of friendship to harbor ill intentions towards her?

Why is loving someone so difficult and so cautious?
