Little Sweetheart

Xia Zhijun took a box out of his bag and opened it.

Gu Siyi saw a bracelet identical to the one she had lost, even the beads strung on the back were the same.

Gu Siyi's eyes lit up, and an irrepressible smile overflowed.

Xia Zhijun said, "Hand."

Gu Siyi obediently extended her hand.

He put the bracelet on her wrist and said, "If you lose it again, don't be sad. I'll buy you a new one."

"There won't be a next time!" Gu Siyi retorted. "I absolutely won't lose it again."

That afternoon, she had been drooling over the bracelet at the mall, desperately wanting to buy it.

Now, in the evening, she had a new one. This feeling of having her wish fulfilled made her incredibly happy, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Looking at her two small dimples, Xia Zhijun felt an indescribable satisfaction.

He reached out and poked one of the dimples.

Gu Siyi looked up at him. "What are you doing?"

"You look so beautiful when you smile," Xia Zhijun said, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, his deep black eyes filled with warmth.

"…" Gu Siyi quickly lowered her eyes.

He’s the one who’s ridiculously good-looking, and he's using his handsomeness to attack her!

When Gu Siyi returned to the dorm, Zheng Peipei immediately noticed the new bracelet on her wrist.

"Wow, did the God of Learning give that to you just now?"

"Mm." Gu Siyi nodded.

"The God of Learning is amazing! I told you he wouldn't not buy it," Zheng Peipei said triumphantly. "It's a good thing I stopped you today!"

"I didn't expect…"

"It's Sunday, and he immediately went out to buy you a new bracelet. Tsk, he's really thoughtful."

Gu Siyi didn't know what to say and just smiled.

That sweet smile made Zheng Peipei feel like she had just eaten a mouthful of sugar.

"No wonder the God of Learning dotes on you so much. With your sweet and adorable look, if I were a guy, I wouldn't be able to resist you. I'd be willing to pick the moon from the sky for you."

"No way, I see the same in you. We have a friendship filter between us."

"Haha, the great friendship filter!"

Not long after, Lu Jiaye's birthday arrived.

For this young master's once-a-year birthday, his family gave him an unlimited budget.

His family elders were usually too busy, flying all over the world, and had limited time for him. So, they tried to compensate in quality and hoped he would enrich his life with many friends.

Lu Jiaye booked a castle-like hotel as the venue for his party.

He invited friends from his school and other schools, and nearly a hundred people attended the birthday banquet.

Gu Siyi, Zheng Peipei, Xiang Li, and Zhang Xinyi set off together.

At the venue, there was a designated check-in area, people to receive gifts, and special staff to welcome guests and lead them to the main hall.

Zheng Peipei clicked her tongue. "This silly rich kid is really putting on a show."

Xiang Li nodded. "A young master from a wealthy family."

Zheng Peipei: "No, he's clearly the landlord's silly son."

The banquet hall was surrounded by food made with high-end ingredients from all over the world, served buffet-style, with champagne flowing freely.

The heating in the banquet hall was turned up high, and as soon as Gu Siyi and her friends took off their coats, someone immediately took them to be stored.

"Where are Xia Zhijun and Su Han? Why don't I see them?" Zheng Peipei looked around.

Gu Siyi was also looking, but she didn't see them. "They're probably busy with the birthday boy."

More and more people arrived, not only Lu Jiaye's friends but also his family elders and relatives.

When Lu Lin appeared, there was a small commotion at the scene.

He went on stage and spoke, "Thank you all for coming to Jiaye's birthday banquet. Tonight belongs to you young people…"

A round of applause thundered below.

After Lu Lin stepped down, the lights suddenly dimmed.

When they came back on, music filled the hall.

Xia Zhijun sat at the grand piano in the center of the hall and began to play. A black and white tuxedo encased his tall, slender figure.

Under his meticulously styled black hair was an extremely refined face, exuding both youthful elegance and handsome masculinity.

His slender fingers danced across the keys, playing a light and pleasant melody.

Excited squeals erupted from the students in the audience. "Xia Zhijun——" "Xia Zhijun——"

Gu Siyi stared at him, her heart beating involuntarily faster.

…Is this really her boyfriend? He's so handsome it's against the rules!

"Oh my god, the God of Learning is so handsome…"

"His looks are invincible! His aura is so aloof, handsome to the point of being sacred and inviolable!"

"The God of Learning, always reaching new heights of handsomeness, I'm kneeling."

The friends around them couldn't help but get excited. Young people are all suckers for good looks.

After the piano piece ended, he began playing the prelude to a song.

Su Han, holding a microphone, leaned against the piano and started singing, "How can I own a rainbow, how can I embrace the summer wind, the stars in the sky laugh at the people on earth, they always can't understand, can't feel content enough…"

"My Han is so handsome too!" Zheng Peipei howled. "Cheering for my Han!"

"This duo, they could debut!"

"Su Han sings so well… It's a pity he's not a singer…"

When the second verse started, the whole audience sang along with Su Han.

Everyone waved their hands high, as if they were at a concert.

The Lu family elders present also smiled and enjoyed the performance.

Having the young master of the Xia family playing here was truly a matter of great face.

After Su Han finished singing, the piano music suddenly changed to a cheerful tune.

Lu Jiaye, in a flamboyant hip-hop outfit, took the stage, took the microphone from Su Han, and sang cheerfully, "You're such a, you're such a, you're such a, you're such a little sister…"

Colorful confetti rained down from the ceiling. Lu Jiaye sang with increasing enthusiasm. Although his pitch wasn't as accurate and his singing wasn't as good as Su Han's, the fast rhythm and lively atmosphere made up for it. "Everyone, come on and party with me!" He jumped up and down on the stage, waving his hands. "You're such a, you're such a, you're such a, you're such a…"

Gu Siyi was incredibly amused. "He's such a goofball! So cute!"

Zheng Peipei: "Tsk, did you see Xia Zhijun's disgusted expression? I bet he was kidnapped and brought here."

"Haha…" Gu Siyi was amused. "No way, the God of Learning is playing the piano very seriously."

They thought the opening songs were the surprise, but when the birthday boy and his friends left the stage, the famous singer who appeared next made everyone cheer even louder. Lu Jiaye had turned his birthday party into a lively song and dance extravaganza.

The elders had all left, leaving only a group of boisterous youngsters.

The changing lights mixed with the dynamic music, and led by Lu Jiaye, everyone danced freely in the center of the dance floor, creating the atmosphere of a disco.

Gu Siyi found Xia Zhijun sitting alone in a corner of the hall. She took his hand. "Let's dance!"

"You dance…" Xia Zhijun wasn't the crazy type like Lu Jiaye and really couldn't get into it.

"Come on, come on!" Gu Siyi pulled his hand, trying to get him up to join the fun. When he suddenly exerted force, she unexpectedly fell into his arms and landed on his lap.

Xia Zhijun took the opportunity to hold her, preventing her from escaping. He said, "No one's looking at you here."

"…" She had dug her own grave!

After a while of wild fun, Lu Jiaye took the microphone and said, "One minute of darkness, for the handsome guys present to confess to their sweethearts."

He snapped his fingers. The surroundings suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Xia Zhijun, I like you——" "Lu Jiaye, I like you——" "Su Han, I like you——" … "Zhou Yang, I like you——" "Chen Sihan, I like you——"

Passionate shouts rose and fell.

Gu Siyi sat on Xia Zhijun's lap, listening to the confessions to Xia Zhijun rising and falling around her, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

In the darkness, someone lifted her chin. Their breathing grew closer and closer, warm breath brushing against her face. Her heart pounded, and she didn't dare move.

Until that person's lips landed on hers… Just like that night, it felt like an electric shock…

His tongue gently licked her lips. Gu Siyi's fingertips went numb, and her mind was a chaotic mess…

When he tried to probe further, just reaching her teeth, she quickly clenched her jaw, pressing her lips together, not allowing him to invade any further.

Xia Zhijun's attack failed, and he didn't try to force her jaw open.

He held her hand in his palm, his tongue tracing the outline of her lips, slowly, bit by bit, greedily savoring…

Although the outside world was pitch black, Gu Siyi still closed her eyes. Her cheeks were burning, her palms were hot, and the taste of first love made her feel at a loss, her whole body as if she had a fever.

When the lights came back on, Xia Zhijun reluctantly released Gu Siyi. She hurriedly escaped from his lap, not daring to look at him again, and ran away as fast as she could. In her panic, she bumped into Zheng Peipei, who was walking by. Zheng Peipei stumbled and fell backward.

Lu Jiaye, who was nearby, rushed to support her waist, intending to help her up. But he was bumped again by someone else who was fooling around. Gu Siyi froze, watching helplessly as Lu Jiaye fell down with Zheng Peipei, his arm cushioning her fall, and his lips landing between her nose and lips…

Zheng Peipei: "…"

Lu Jiaye: "…"

The two stared at each other wide-eyed. Zheng Peipei was the first to react, pushing him away forcefully. "Get away from me!"

The people around them quickly pulled them up. Lu Jiaye looked at Zheng Peipei, his face unusually red. He cleared his throat, wanting to say something, but Zheng Peipei spoke first. "Shut up! It was an accident! Don't ever mention it again!"

After saying that, she ran out, and Gu Siyi quickly followed.

In the garden, Zheng Peipei was extremely agitated, stomping her feet. "I'm so angry! I was actually kissed by that idiot!"

Gu Siyi felt incredibly guilty. "It's my fault…"

If she hadn't bumped into her first… things wouldn't have…

"It's not your fault, it's Lu Jiaye! He shouldn't have come over, he shouldn't have taken advantage of me!"

"He didn't do it on purpose…"

"Waaah…" Zheng Peipei hugged Gu Siyi, crying. "My first kiss was with that idiot! My youth has been ruined by him… There are no good memories left!"

"Your way of putting it is a bit too dramatic, don't you think?" Gu Siyi patted her back, comforting her. "Don't think too much about it, just treat it as an accident."

"Why couldn't it have been an accident with Su Han… or with the God of Learning…"

"Oh, shut up!" Gu Siyi pinched her waist, scolding her playfully. "The God of Learning is mine! What other accidents do you want?"

"I was just saying, don't take it seriously. I swear I have no designs on him… Wait, what did you just say?" Zheng Peipei suddenly came to her senses and stared at Gu Siyi with wide eyes. "You said the God of Learning is yours? Oh my god, Yi-ge, are you together with the God of Learning?"

"Keep your voice down!" Gu Siyi hurriedly said, embarrassed by her accidental slip. Fortunately, she hadn't planned to hide it anyway.

"Hee hee hee, congratulations, congratulations! You've finally captured the God of Learning." Zheng Peipei was very happy. "Seeing you win him over, I'm relieved. Those seductive vixens outside have no chance now. I don't have to worry about him being ruined by bad people."

"…" Gu Siyi recalled Xia Zhijun's series of rogue and shameless acts…

If he weren't the God of Learning, he'd be no different from those bad boys. Bad people might not even be able to handle him.

"It's time to come in and cut the cake." Xia Zhijun's voice came.

Lu Jiaye was too embarrassed to look for Zheng Peipei, afraid of provoking her again, so Xia Zhijun had to step in.

Gu Siyi took Zheng Peipei's hand and said, "It was just an accident, don't take it to heart. The more you dwell on it, the more awkward it will be for everyone."

"Okay, I've already forgotten what just happened." Zheng Peipei raised her head and walked back into the hall.

But choosing to forget didn't mean Lu Jiaye could choose to forget.

That moment, her lips, that feeling…

A few days later, when only he and Xia Zhijun were in the dorm, Lu Jiaye suddenly leaned close to him and asked embarrassedly, "Hey, have you… you know… with Little Dimples…"

Xia Zhijun remained expressionless. "No."

"No way? After all this time, you haven't even kissed?" Lu Jiaye looked incredulous.

"Kissed? …That was a kiss?"

"What else would it be?" Lu Jiaye's mind raced, and he realized what Xia Zhijun was thinking. He burst out laughing. "Whoa, Zhijun, you're so dirty! You're thinking such lewd thoughts. You must be really wanting it, hahaha…"

"Want your ass! Get lost!"

"Hey, don't be mad, I'm not trying to make fun of you. I'm being serious. What does it feel like to kiss a girl?"

"…" Xia Zhijun didn't want to discuss this topic with him at all.

What it felt like to kiss Gu Siyi was a very private experience, meant only for him to savor.

Lu Jiaye couldn't hold back and continued, "Hey, I accidentally kissed Peipei that time… Damn, a girl's lips feel so good. I keep thinking about it, wanting to kiss her again…" He even found himself uncontrollably looking at her sometimes.

Lu Jiaye sighed heavily. "I don't know if I'm in love or just infatuated… What if it's just a momentary obsession, and I don't actually like her? It'll be awkward if I pursue her and then…"

Xia Zhijun scoffed. "Where do you get the confidence that you can even pursue Zheng Peipei?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm a handsome, elegant, and dashing young man!"

Xia Zhijun turned to look towards Su Han and reminded him, "Zheng Peipei went to the study room with Su Han."

"…" Lu Jiaye's expression changed. He suddenly stood up, grabbed a few books, and declared, "I'm going to study too! It's just studying, who's afraid? Good grades can get you girls, I'll become a top student right away!"

After Lu Jiaye turned over a new leaf, the entire class's atmosphere changed.

Zheng Peipei and Lu Jiaye, who used to slack off the most, were now studying hard. The enthusiastic learning atmosphere made their homeroom teacher very happy.

On the evening of December 13th, Xia Zhijun rented a few sports cars, hired a few drivers, and took everyone to the Linshui Park in the suburbs. He also brought his DSLR camera and tripod.

The weather cooperated. It was a clear night, with no moon and no clouds in the sky. The dark sky was filled with shining stars.

Driving to the suburbs, far from the pollution of the city, there were no buildings, no streetlights, only a vast expanse of lawn. When the convertibles' roofs opened, sitting in the car and looking at the night sky offered a wide, unobstructed view.

Xia Zhijun got out of the car and set up his camera equipment.

Zheng Peipei brought various drinks and snacks and distributed them to everyone.

Everyone ate, drank, and chatted, waiting for the meteor shower in the suburbs. Although the weather was cold, the atmosphere was warm.

When getting into the cars, Lu Jiaye saw Zheng Peipei getting into one and quickly jumped in, snatching the seat next to her.

Now, sitting next to Zheng Peipei, he looked at Su Han, who was sitting with Zhou Xiao, and was secretly delighted.

When Zheng Peipei distributed the food, he actively helped her.

The wind was a bit strong. Xia Zhijun got into the car and asked Gu Siyi, "Are you cold?"

"No," Gu Siyi shook her head.

But looking at her wind-chapped face, he still wasn't reassured. He took the scarf he had specifically reminded her to bring and wrapped it around her.

After wrapping the scarf, he put his arm around her shoulders. Gu Siyi squirmed a little, trying to break free. Everyone was watching.

"Yi-ge, don't be shy, we can't see anything, ha." Zheng Peipei said with a grin.

"Yeah, Little Dimples, just pretend we're not here, don't be embarrassed," Lu Jiaye chimed in.

Gu Siyi: "…" These two are a perfect match!

Su Han said, "A meteor appeared."

Everyone immediately looked up at the sky.

In the deep black night sky, meteors fell one after another.

The meteors weren't fast, and they could see the long tails trailing behind them as they streaked across the sky.

"Make a wish quickly," Zheng Peipei clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

Gu Siyi also closed her eyes and made a wish.

Lu Jiaye also closed his eyes and made a wish: God, please let me win Zheng Peipei's heart!

When Gu Siyi opened her eyes and looked at the night sky again, she was so amazed that she couldn't speak.

In the boundless black sky, more and more meteors appeared, streaking across continuously. There were bright meteors, fireballs, with bright and colorful trails, even in red, yellow, blue, green, and other colors, decorating the night sky with small, colorful tails.

Gu Siyi was completely captivated by this unparalleled visual feast.

Others were also enjoying this magnificent natural spectacle.

Xia Zhijun got out of the car, watching and filming at the same time.

After a while, Xia Zhijun said to Gu Siyi, "Come out."

Gu Siyi was reluctant, unable to tear her eyes away.

Xia Zhijun: "I'll take pictures of you, a photo with the meteor shower."

"Great!" Gu Siyi immediately got out of the car.

Gu Siyi followed Xia Zhijun's instructions and kept a distance from his camera.

Through the lens, Xia Zhijun saw his girl under the shower of meteors, her smile blooming, no less stunning than the natural wonder.

He was fascinated by her, by capturing these breathtaking images.

She struck various playful poses, and he happily acted as her exclusive photographer.

Zheng Peipei couldn't sit still any longer. "God of Learning, can you take a picture of me?"

Lu Jiaye said, "He's busy taking pictures of Little Dimples, I'll take one for you."

"Okay." At this point, she wasn't picky, having someone take a picture was the most important thing.

Others also took out their phones to take pictures.

Xia Zhijun switched his camera to selfie mode, walked over to Gu Siyi, and suddenly lifted her up. Gu Siyi exclaimed with a smile, "Ah…"

He held her up, and she could only wrap her arms around his neck to avoid falling.

Face to face, he leaned in and kissed her. She couldn't dodge in time.

The camera clicked, capturing several shots of their intimate moment.

The night sky was illuminated by more than 100 meteors per hour.

Under the beautiful night sky was their beautiful youth.

Lu Jiaye glanced over and saw their sweet and playful scene, and an idea sparked in his mind.

He ran to Zheng Peipei's side, raised his phone, and said, "This is a rare sight, let's take a picture together."

Facing the camera, Zheng Peipei automatically put on a smile.

Just as Lu Jiaye pressed the shutter button, he turned his head and kissed her cheek.

"…" Zheng Peipei was petrified.

She turned her head and glared at him. Lu Jiaye steeled his resolve. If he was going to die, he might as well die a quick death!

With the desperation of impending doom, he leaned in and gave her a loud smack on the lips.

"Ah——" Zheng Peipei shoved him hard and retreated in shock.

Lu Jiaye grabbed her arm and said, "Peipei, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost!!!" She raised her foot and kicked him furiously.

"Ouch, be gentle… Are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Get lost!" Zheng Peipei's face flushed red, she shouted angrily.

As Lu Jiaye tried to get closer, Su Han ran over and grabbed his hand, saying coldly, "Are you trying to harass a girl?"

"I'm not harassing her! I'm pursuing her!" Lu Jiaye declared resolutely.
