“Yes, I will,” Su Yichen said with a smile.
“Then wait a moment!”
Mu Xia ran back to her room and quickly returned with a math workbook.
“Brother Yichen, here—this problem.”
“This one…”
Su Yichen only glanced at it before saying, “Mu Xia, this problem tests the properties of even functions, the method for finding the analytic expression of piecewise functions, and the properties of periodic functions.”
“The solution is…”
Mu Xia held her milk tea and listened intently.
Mu Qianqian went to the kitchen to pour Su Yichen a glass of water, then stood behind him. She could still smell the pleasant scent coming from him.
‘Such a clean boy…’
‘Whether it’s his soul, or…’
‘…his body.’
Mu Qianqian’s eyelids suddenly lowered, and she instinctively clenched her right hand hanging by her side, letting her nails dig into her palm.
‘Why…’
‘Why does he have to be so clean…?’
A moment later, Su Yichen finished explaining the problem to Mu Xia’s “you’re amazing” expression, ensuring the young girl understood.
“Brother Yichen, are you a college student?” Mu Xia’s voice was full of admiration. “You explain things even better than the teachers at my school.”
“Yes, I am.” Su Yichen smiled and gently patted Mu Xia’s head. “I’m a student at Qingyue University, just a freshman this year.”
“Qing… Qingyue University!”
Mu Xia was stunned.
Mu Qianqian was also stunned.
When she heard Su Yichen mention living in a dormitory, she thought he might be a college student somewhere, but she never expected him to be a student at Qingyue University.
“I just got lucky and got in,” Su Yichen said humbly, without a hint of arrogance. He took a Student ID Card out of his pocket and placed it on the table. “This is my Student ID Card.”
“Let me see!”
The moment the card hit the table, Mu Xia snatched it up. “Qingyue University, College of Liberal Arts… Su Yichen.”
She held the Student ID Card carefully. The boy in the photo wore glasses and looked ordinary, but one could still tell the person in the photo was Su Yichen.
“Brother Yichen, these glasses are so ugly. They hide your handsome face.” Mu Xia stared at Su Yichen’s face, seemingly dazed.
“But my grades are too poor. I’ll never get into Qingyue University. Otherwise, I could have been your junior!”
“Haha, it’s not a big deal, Mu Xia,” Su Yichen said. “Your sister and I are friends, so you’ll be like my little sister from now on.”
“Then I’ll have… a good brother!”
Mu Xia blinked, her expression turning mischievous. “Brother Yichen, can you promise your cute little sister Mu Xia one thing?”
“I promise. What is it?” He agreed immediately, without even asking what it was.
“The girls in my class mock me for not having a boyfriend, even though I’m clearly prettier than them.” Mu Xia puffed out her cheeks.
“Brother Yichen, next time they ask, I’ll tell them I have a super handsome boyfriend named Su Yichen who studies at Qingyue University. Is that okay?”
“Of course. Go ahead and tell your friends with your head held high. If they don’t believe you, I can even go with you to meet them.”
Su Yichen chuckled softly. His smile was gentle and light, free and bright, and his voice was filled with indulgence.
“Really? Pinky swear!”
“Pinky swear.”
Their two thumbs intertwined and pressed firmly together.
“I’m going inside to study now, Brother Yichen.”
Mu Xia glanced at her sister, who was staring blankly at Su Yichen, gave her a subtle wink, picked up her book, and left. She even gently closed the bedroom door.
Soon, only Su Yichen and Mu Qianqian were left in the living room.
The moment Mu Xia returned to her room, Su Yichen’s eyes flickered.
‘Mu Xia… is lying.’
‘She didn’t understand at all.’
Su Yichen lowered his head slightly, looking at the wrinkles on his right trouser leg. That was where Mu Xia’s hand had rested just now.
‘Mu Qianqian…’
‘Mu Xia…’
“Mr. Su, Mr. Su! The capture target has changed. Should I tell you now?” Huohua’s voice rang out in Su Yichen’s mind.
‘Show me.’
“Okay!”
[Capture Target: Qianxia Twins]
Current Love Value: 10 (Mu Qianqian), 5 (Mu Xia)
Current Hatred Value: 0 (Mu Qianqian), 5 (Mu Xia)
‘Huohua, is the requirement for the twins 95 Love Value and 90 Hatred Value for both?’
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Su Yichen’s expression turned a bit sour for a moment, but he kept his head down and habitually tilted it away from Mu Qianqian, quickly regaining his composure.
He had encountered this situation before. It seemed like just adding one more person, one more target, but it was actually much more difficult than capturing two people separately.
The twins’ favorability was intertwined. Once given the “Twins” achievement title, there would definitely be a part deep within their hearts that was diametrically opposite.
It might not be apparent normally because it was something hidden deep within their personalities.
If one was gentle and bright, like the ultimate light, the other would surely be twisted and cruel, like the deepest darkness.
And extreme light could be blinding. While deep darkness could protect people.
Complex and opposing, it was as if a complete personality had been sliced into two completely different mirror images. This was the Twins.
“Su Yichen? Su Yichen?”
Mu Qianqian softly called his name. Although the beautiful youth’s profile was pleasing to the eye, she couldn’t just keep staring.
He was so polite; she had to respond in kind. Seeing the boy dazed, Mu Qianqian worried if her sister’s behavior just now had been too forward and might have scared him.
“Hmm?” Su Yichen immediately snapped out of it and turned to smile. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking that your sister is quite cute. She reminds me of a junior I knew back in high school. She was just like her.”
“What about that junior?”
“I don’t know where she went. One year after I met her, she transferred schools.” Su Yichen quietly changed the subject. “Anyway, Miss Landlady, could you show me my room?”
“Sure!”
Mu Qianqian stood up and led Su Yichen to the slightly larger bedroom.
“If you want to rent, this is the room you’ll be staying in.” She introduced it skillfully, clearly having rehearsed her speech.
“This is the master bedroom of the two-bedroom apartment. I used to sleep here. It has a small en-suite bathroom. It’s not big, but it’s more than enough for one person.”
“I’m very satisfied with the place.” Su Yichen nodded after a quick glance around, then asked, “If I sleep here, where will you stay?”
“I’ll stay with Xia in the other room,” Mu Qianqian said without thinking.
“I’ve been sleeping with her since I decided to rent this room out. I moved out a while ago and have cleaned this room many times. What do you think?”
