Senior Sister, Shut Up!

October 9th, Thursday.

In the morning, Jiang Miao and Su Huaizhou both had classes.

During class, he secretly took out his phone and started browsing the comments of the latest chapter released last night.

For an author like him, reading readers’ comments was a major source of enjoyment, sometimes even more fun than reading the actual content.

After all, the main text had already played out in his mind countless times already, but the chapter comments were always fresh.

It was human nature to crave novelty.

But as he kept reading, he noticed a familiar nickname.

[Fatherly Love Is Like a Mountain]: Is the author in a relationship? How else could such a good romance novel be written?

Jiang Miao: “…”

However, the replies under this comment were not pleasing to him.

[Family For Life]: Silver Big Shot, you must be joking. Only single dogs can write such innocent dog food novels.

[wwwWhite Jade City]: Peach Jam finding a partner? I don’t believe it!

[Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Bright Moon]: Oh my, oh my, has someone discovered my relationship with Peach Jam?

Jiang Miao really wanted to delete these comments.

He gripped his phone tighter.

But when he thought about how he now had Senior Sister’s soft hand to hold, he smiled and felt these single dogs were not so annoying anymore.

Hmph.

You readers will never guess that your beloved author is not only handsome but even has a beautiful and charming senior sister as a girlfriend.

Initially, Jiang Miao planned to reply directly to his father-in-law’s question. But after thinking about it, he took a screenshot of the comment and sent it to Senior Sister.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, how should I respond to this?

In the middle of class, Su Huaizhou had a puzzled expression. She opened her phone and couldn’t help laughing at the message.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: What’s the matter? You can answer however you like.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: But I’ve only unlocked one-third of you. Can I really say we’re in a relationship?

Seeing Junior Brother ask such a shameless question, Su Huaizhou immediately puffed out her cheeks and gritted her teeth.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee:] What do you think? Are we, or aren’t we?

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Well, I guess not? After all, rounding down from one-third is basically zero, right?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Jiang Miao, you’re done for.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, I’m sorry!

Su Huaizhou didn’t reply.

Jiang Miao let out a helpless laugh. Was I too much?

With this thought, he replied to his father-in-law.

[Peach Jam]: Yes, I have a partner.

Then he took a screenshot and sent it to Senior Sister.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, I replied to him! (Image)

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Oh.

This cold response—she really must be angry. Jiang Miao scratched his head, feeling uncertain. He opened QQ and found his dear Congee Boss.

[Peach Jam]: Boss, Boss! I made my senior sister angry. What should I do?

[Congee Boss]: What did you do this time?

[Peach Jam]: Senior Sister has only unlocked a third of our relationship. Then someone asked me if I was in a relationship, so I asked her. Wasn’t I just being respectful of her? Ř

[Congee Boss]: Respectful, my ass!

[Congee Boss]: She’s just having a little fun with you, but you took it seriously?!

[Congee Boss]: You’re hopelessly stupid!

[Peach Jam]: So, Boss, what should I do now?

[Congee Boss]: Obviously, as soon as class is over, go find your senior sister and beg for forgiveness.

[Peach Jam]: Got it! Long live Boss!

For some reason, ever since Jiang Miao uncovered Senior Sister’s Congee Boss identity, their interactions on QQ had returned to how they used to be.

He pretended he still didn’t know that Congee Boss was Senior Sister, and Su Huaizhou pretended she didn’t know that Junior Brother knew her identity.

But deep down, both of them knew the truth.

Thus, QQ became their second channel of communication.

Jiang Miao looked at the time—just past 11 a.m. The class would end in about ten minutes.

He checked Senior Sister’s class schedule and found that her classroom was in the next building. He opened WeChat again.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister, I have an astonishing secret to tell you.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: ?

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: If you wait outside your classroom for three minutes after class, a miracle will happen.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Will Ultraman fight a monster?

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Yep!

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: I knew you were lying.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: You won’t know if you don’t try.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Fine, but if nothing happens, you’re done for.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: How could there not be? Since I said there’ll be a miracle, there will be.

As they chatted, class ended for them.

Jiang Miao had already packed up while chatting, and the moment class ended, he rushed out the back door of the classroom.

There was a corridor connecting Building A and Building B.

Jiang Miao rushed over from Building B and sprinted all the way to the entrance of Classroom 310 in less than a minute.

From a distance, he saw the back of Senior Sister standing at the classroom door, and a smile crept across his face. He quickly walked over and wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace before she noticed him.

“Ah!” Su Huaizhou jumped in surprise, but after recognizing the familiar smell, she instantly relaxed, though she still smacked his shoulder playfully. “Stop messing around. People are watching.”

“This is for gathering material, Senior Sister,” Jiang Miao whispered into her ear, still hugging her from behind. “Hugging in public is definitely useful material.”

“So, where’s the miracle you promised? Where are Ultraman and the monster?” she asked, pouting.

“Haven’t they already appeared?”

“Huh?”

“Ultraman just hit the monster.” Jiang Miao pointed at his shoulder with a grin.

“Get lost!” Su Huaizhou rolled her eyes at him. “I don’t want to be Ultraman.”

“Then do you want to be the monster?” He tightened his hug on her. “In that case, this Ultraman will have to teach the monster a lesson.”

“Don’t…” She could feel the surrounding students’ gazes focused on them, and her cheeks flushed red. “Junior Brother, stop messing around. We’re at school.”

“Are you still angry, Senior Sister?”

“Yes.”

“What can I do to make you not angry?”

When Su Huaizhou heard this, her eyes lit up. “Make me stir-fried pork, and I won’t be angry anymore.”

“You know I can’t cook that at school.”

“You can come to my place.” She slipped out of his arms but couldn’t resist reaching out to hold Junior Brother’s hand. She turned around and said, “You don’t have classes tonight, right? Neither do I.”

Jiang Miao was tempted by the offer. “Then how about we go this afternoon?”

“Are you dumb or what?” Su Huaizhou rolled her eyes. “Our team has a mock debate this afternoon. Did you forget?”

“All I can think about is you, Senior Sister, so there’s no room for anything else,” he said shamelessly, without a hint of embarrassment. “If I become stupid, you’ll have to take responsibility.”

“Where do you even learn those things?” Su Huaizhou blushed. “You used to be so tongue-tied.”

“When I’m around you, my mouth just moves on its own.”

“Nonsense.” Though she was scolding him, she couldn’t hide her smile. Her heart was sweet as they headed to the cafeteria together.

As for Qi Lianyue?

She was the ultimate good roommate and best friend. The moment she heard Su Huaizhou was waiting for Junior Brother, she made herself scarce.

After all, she had a boyfriend too! So she went to find Zhao Lu and try the techniques she had learned from reading the romance novel last night.

She wondered if they would work.

…

At 2 p.m., the scheduled mock debate match began.

The topics for the two debate semifinals were different, so it wasn’t possible to find the team from the other match to mock debate.

However, only four teams made it to the semifinals, and the four eliminated teams still had something to do. They could continue to act as mock debate teams.

After all, each team had only three matches, and some teams with six members might have people who had only participated in one or two.

So after being eliminated, they could still take part in a mock debate, which could be regarded as a way to enjoy the experience one last time.

But this had nothing to do with Jiang Miao.

He was probably the only participant who made it to the semifinals without having competed in a single match.

This was mainly because his teammates were quite capable. Even the timid first speaker, Ding Ning, had improved significantly in her response skills after a few matches.

When he arrived at the classroom for the mock debate, the rest of his team had yet to arrive, but the leader of the other team was already here.

“Senior Sister Qi, Senior Zhao.” Jiang Miao was momentarily taken aback when he saw the two people inside.

“Yueyue?” Su Huaizhou became a bit flustered upon seeing them and subconsciously pulled back her hand that Junior Brother was holding. “Why are you here?”

“Sister Zhou, isn’t it normal for Yueyue to be here?” Zhao Lu chuckled. “You abandoned my Yueyue at lunch, and I was the one who kept her company.”

“Don’t make it sound like I’m pitiful,” Qi Lianyue said nonchalantly with her arms crossed.

“When you picked up food for me at noon, your eyes did look quite pitiful,” Zhao Lu said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

“Shut up.” Qi Lianyue shot him a fierce glare.

At this moment, Jiang Miao had already taken hold of Senior Sister’s hand again and sat down beside the two of them.

Su Huaizhou felt a bit awkward about displaying their romantic relationship in front of her good friend, making her look like a shy young girl.

Qi Lianyue’s boyfriend was a senior one year above them, but she found a junior brother.

Even if others didn’t comment on it, she still felt a bit embarrassed, as if she were an old cow eating young grass.

However, Su Huaizhou had already checked their ages.

In fact, they were the same age. It was just that her birthday was in August, and Jiang Miao’s was in October, which put them a whole school year apart.

It wasn’t really that much of an age difference.

“I still have something to do. Call me once you’re done with the mock debate.” Qi Lianyue didn’t say much else. After returning to her normal mode, she took out her laptop and began working.

The members of Zhao Lu’s and Su Huaizhou’s teams started arriving one after another.

Although Zhao Lu was the captain of the debate team, his lazy, laid-back personality meant he hadn’t really guided the first-years much, resulting in his team’s elimination after losing two matches in the lower bracket.

“Jiang Miao is also on your team, right?” Zhao Lu asked before the mock debate began. “Why haven’t we seen him compete?”

“I’m Senior Sister’s secret weapon. I can’t be used lightly,” Jiang Miao said thick-skinnedly.

Su Huaizhou shot him an amused yet annoyed look and secretly stepped on his foot under the desk.

In response, he stretched out his hand under the desk and took hold of Senior Sister’s hand into his palm to play with it.

It was soft and delicate. He could never get enough of it.

“Sister Zhou, I didn’t expect you to like someone like Jiang Miao,” Zhao Lu teased. “I was worried you’d steal my Yueyue away.”

“Will you die if you keep your mouth shut?” Qi Lianyue suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed his hair. “Stop speaking without thinking all the time.”

Zhao Lu was still smiling despite his hair being grabbed. He reached out to touch Qi Lianyue’s hand and said, “When it comes to you, my brain tends to shut down. You have to be understanding.”

“Hmph.” Qi Lianyue harrumphed and quickly turned her head back to continue working on her laptop.

In fact, her cheeks were slightly red.

“I’ve learned, I’ve learned.” Jiang Miao quickly took out his phone and opened the notes app.

“What are you doing?” Su Huaizhou leaned over to take a look.

“Recording inspiration.”

“There’s such a thing?” She was curious and glanced at the contents of the notes. Her face immediately blushed, and she spat. “Indecent.”

“How can a writer’s gathered material be called indecent?” he countered.

“You still have the cheek to say that after noting down your thoughts on kissing and touching legs?” Su Huaizhou said through gritted teeth, her face flushed as she leaned closer to Jiang Miao’s ear.

“It’s all thanks to you, Senior Sister.”

“Hmph~!”

They waited in the classroom for a few minutes, but one person from Zhao Lu’s team had yet to arrive. He stepped out to make a call.

Ding Ning had already arrived and was sitting in the front row with her teammates.

Since it was just a mock debate, everyone was relatively relaxed and chatting about some gossip and interesting matters.

Then she took out her phone and sent a link to the Uninformed Team WeChat group.

[Ding Ning]: (Link) I’m reading this great book My Girlfriend Is a Content Creator. Thought you might like it.

Ding Ning turned to her dear teammates in the front row and said, “I’ve been following this book for the past few days. It’s super sweet!”

“What is this?” Jia Tongxue looked puzzled. “A novel? What a strange name.”

“It’s a web novel, right? Moreover, it’s male-oriented.” Yi Luren shook her head. “I don’t usually read this stuff.”

Pei Jue had already opened the first chapter. While checking it out, she asked, “Is it good? Do male-oriented novels also have romance stories?”

“It’s super good!” Ding Ning strongly recommended. “I used to think only female novels had romance, but I’ve found that there are quite a few male-oriented love stories now.”

“Could this have been written by a girl?” Pei Jue asked, puzzled. “The pen name is Peach Jam. It sounds like a girl’s name.”

“Hmm?!” Ding Ning was stunned for a moment. Previously, because Chen Haoshang had recommended this novel, she hadn’t even looked at the author’s pen name.

The author is actually called Peach Jam?!

A girl?!

B-but Haoshang said his friend wrote it?

Apart from me, does he have any other female friends?

Ding Ning suddenly felt jealous and panicked, and she immediately plunged into all kinds of terrible fantasies.

In the back row, Jiang Miao, bored and reading the group chat, immediately widened his eyes upon seeing the link.

Jiang Miao: “?!”

What the hell?!

Ding Ning, what are you doing?!

I kindly provided you with information about Chen Haoshang.

Is this how you repay me?!!!
