What Should I Do if My Younger Brother’s Crush Has Taken a Liking to Me?

Chapter 2 – She is very pretty, isn’t she?

Kong Nianxi stood out in the sea of people as if she was locked in a halo of beauty.
She was accompanied by two girls and two tall boys who stood in front of her.
Despite being engulfed in the crowd, she was still eye-catching.
The school uniform, which was the same for everyone, looked particularly sweet on her, highlighting her teenage beauty.

Xi Ning swept a glance at her and then looked away.
When she turned back, she saw Xi Mu staring at the girl as if he was about to drool.
He was, after all, a popular handsome guy in school.

If it weren’t for his good looks, he would have looked creepy staring like that.
Xi Ning couldn’t help but feel embarrassed as she heard laughter coming from behind.
Kong Nianxi and her group were also clearly heading toward the school gate from this side.
Xi Ning suddenly felt a little awkward.

She had no intention of dealing with this infatuated guy anymore, so she lifted her leg to leave, but her backpack was suddenly pulled back.

“What are you doing?” she asked impatiently.

However, this guy seemed to be in a daze and didn’t move from his spot.

Xi Mu’s tall figure was too conspicuous, and Kong Nianxi and her friends were clearly going to enter the school gate from this side.
Xi Ning suddenly felt a little embarrassed as she heard laughter coming from behind.

She didn’t plan to deal with this infatuated person anymore, so she lifted her leg to leave, but her backpack was suddenly pulled back.

“What are you doing?” she asked impatiently.

However, this guy seemed to be in a daze and didn’t move from his spot.

Finally unable to bear it, she turned around and lightly kicked Xi Mu’s shoe, hoping he would let go.
Unexpectedly, he was startled and let out a cry.

Fortunately, the noise wasn’t too loud, and the school gate was noisy enough that it didn’t attract much attention.

However…

Coincidentally, Kong Nianxi and her group happened to pass by at that moment.

Perhaps startled by the cry, Xi Ning looked up slightly and saw Kong Nianxi suddenly turn her head and look over.

The sudden turn caught both of them off guard, and Xi Ning was slightly stunned when their eyes met.

The girl in front of her had lightly applied eye makeup, and her eyes were beautiful and narrow.
The slightly upturned corners of her eyes were like cat eyes, and when she smiled, she had a natural charm that could make people feel electrified.
Her eyes were naturally seductive.

Xi Ning usually didn’t pay much attention to other people’s features, but her gaze couldn’t help but linger on Kong Nianxi’s eyes for a few seconds.
To be fair, they were very beautiful.

No wonder the boys blushed when they looked at her.

At the same time, Kong Nianxi’s gaze swept over her face, and she blinked lightly before a beautiful curve appeared on her lips.

After brushing past each other, the group quickly walked away.

Xi Mu finally let go of the backpack he had been holding tightly and continued to stare at the girl’s back as she walked away, murmuring absentmindedly, “She’s very pretty, isn’t she?”

Xi Ning couldn’t stand him anymore.
“You should go discuss this with your group of same-sex friends.”

But he seemed not to have heard her and twisted his 1.8-meter-tall body into a ball, covering his chest suddenly.
“Wu… How can there be a girl who smiles so beautifully? Is this what it feels like to have an empty heart?”

“She just smiled at me.
Does that mean I have a chance!?”

Xi Ning: “…”.

Standing next to the suddenly stupid guy at the crowded school gate had been torture for Xi Ning.
She had almost twitched her eyes in disgust as she jumped away from him, grabbed her luggage, and walked away quickly.

The wheels of her suitcase had made a rolling sound on the flat concrete ground as she walked through the flag-raising square and along the familiar green path.

The path was lined with lush greenery, and at the end of the path was a vast expanse of fields beyond the school’s stone walls and iron fences.

Three schools had been clustered on one road, with Qingye Private School being the farthest away.
With ample space and abundant funding, the campus had been naturally built on a larger scale than usual.

The school’s hardware facilities had been complete, with everything that should have been there and even some buildings that had later been found to be useless and left idle.
Many of the vacant lands had been planted with trees and flowers, and sometimes the wild grass had grown to half a person’s height due to the lack of pruning.
As a result, the vegetation coverage on campus had been the highest in the city.

Walking on the secluded paths of the campus, one could occasionally encounter various wild animals.
If one had wandered around the unlit areas of the campus at night, listening to the strange bird calls, it could even have been a bit scary.

It had been said that a student had once sneaked out of the dormitory in the middle of the night to explore and broadcast live.
The barrage had been full of horror, but there had still been many viewers.
Unfortunately, the school had discovered it and criticized it, and this behavior had subsequently been banned.

After dragging her luggage for a long distance, Xi Ning had finally stood under the girls’ dormitory building.

It had been the time on Sunday when students had returned to the dormitory to drop off their luggage, and there had been many students coming and going at the entrance of the dormitory.
The convenience store on the first floor had been even more crowded.

She had taken a breath and had been about to enter the building and go upstairs when she had noticed a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, standing under a tree.

A girl had been talking to a boy face to face, with her long hair tied behind her ears, revealing a beautiful and fair swan-like neck.
Her slender and straight legs under her school skirt had been enough to make any girl turn her head for a second look.

She had encountered her twice in less than half an hour since entering the school.
But Xi Mu should have been grateful for this “good luck” and taken them all.

Xi Ning had thought with a teasing attitude.

“Wow, it’s Han, the anchor of the broadcasting station.
Has Kong Nianxi changed her red man again?”

Someone had suddenly approached her from behind and had spoken softly.
She had taken a step forward and had turned her head to see Tu Xiaoyuan’s almond-shaped eyes under her air bangs.

“Tu Xiaoyuan… can you pay less attention to this meaningless gossip?” Xi Ning had looked at her helplessly.

Tu Xiaoyuan had been Xi Ning’s friend, a low-key second-generation rich kid who loved to eat and gossip, and whose biggest wish had been to lose weight quickly and get good grades.

Tu Xiaoyuan had been a short girl with a sweet appearance.
She had had to look up to see Xi Ning’s eyes.
“But aren’t you curious too, Ning Ning?”

Xi Ning had almost choked.
“What are you talking about? I was just passing by!”

“Okay, it doesn’t matter.” Tu Xiaoyuan had waved her hand and hadn’t continued the topic.
She had shaken her pink piggy bag and had said happily, “I brought a self-heating hot pot.
Let’s eat together in the dorm tonight!”

Xi Ning had looked down at the bulging piggy bag and then up at Tu Xiaoyuan’s fair and round face.
She couldn’t help but remind her, “Didn’t you say you wanted to control your sugar intake and lose weight last Friday?”

In fact, Tu Xiaoyuan had been at most slightly overweight, but now the beauty standards for high school girls were so high that most girls wanted to be a little thinner.

But Tu Xiaoyuan had been a giant in speech and a dwarf in action.

“Ah, did I say that?” Tu Xiaoyuan had been surprised.

Xi Ning: “…”

Tu Xiaoyuan said, “It’s okay.
When I went home last weekend, my mom said I looked much thinner, so it was worth celebrating with a good meal! I went to the convenience store to buy some sausages to cook that night.
Wait for me, okay?”

After she finished speaking, she stuffed the little pig bag into Xi Ning’s arms and walked into the convenience store.

Feeling the weight in her hands, Xi Ning sighed and waited for her in place.

When Tu Xiaoyuan came out, she not only had sausages in her hands.

“Do you want to eat?” She extended her white and tender hand, holding an opened box of chocolate-filled cookies.

“Thank you, but you should keep it for yourself and enjoy it.
Don’t come to me regretting it after weighing yourself tonight.”

This girl couldn’t control her eating habits and always weighed herself after eating.
Then she would drag Xi Ning into making vows and nagging about it, making her ears calloused.
So, Xi Ning had to take preventive measures.

Dragging her luggage into the dormitory building, they passed by the tree in front of the convenience store, and there was no one there.

The school dormitory had six floors and no elevator.
The only way to go up and down was to climb the stairs of the safe passage.

As a lucky class, all the female students in Xi Ning’s class were assigned to the sixth floor.

It was okay during normal times, but it was a nightmare every time they had to carry their luggage on weekends.

Fortunately, because Mr.
Xi was a fitness enthusiast, Xi Ning and her siblings were spared from being “tortured” too much.
Although it was hard work, there were still many benefits.
Their family seemed to maintain good figures, and Xi Mu had developed abs.
Every time he played basketball, he deliberately showed off like a peacock, attracting cheers from the audience and becoming the center of attention.

For Xi Ning, at least carrying her luggage up to the sixth floor was not a problem.

“Are you tired? Let me help you?” Tu Xiaoyuan was relaxed, except for holding snacks in her hand, she only carried a backpack.

Her luggage had already been carried up by the driver’s sister when she arrived.
It was also because of this that Tu Xiaoyuan’s mother specially hired a driver sister who could easily enter the female dormitory to take her to school.

They were about to reach the sixth floor when Xi Ning put down her luggage and stopped at the turning platform to talk to Tu Xiaoyuan.
When she stood up, she heard a conversation above her head.

“Need any help, Nianxi?”

“Thank you, but it’s okay.
These things aren’t that heavy.”

Her eyes looked up before her mind registered what was happening.
On the upper level of the stairs, Kong Nianxi stood facing the lower stairs, with a beige shoulder bag on her left shoulder and several branded shopping bags in her hand.

Damn it… This was the third time.

Xi Ning swore that she didn’t have a strange habit of eavesdropping on other people’s conversations.
It was just that, at this moment, there were only the two of them on the stairs of this floor, except for her and Tu Xiaoyuan.

Kong Nianxi lowered her head to open her bag, seeming to be looking for something.
Suddenly, a round object fell out of the bag, rolling down the stairs step by step until it stopped at Xi Ning’s feet.
