Chapter Fifty-Four A Suggestion

  Nell's appearance made all the boys in Class 3 of Grade 2 excited and uncontrollable.

  Not everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with high-quality European girls at home, let alone Niel's daily school attire is like participating in a TV show, fluffy and warm.

  Nell was enthusiastic to all her classmates, with the bright and lively temperament of a European girl. Even those girls who had secretly criticized Nell's appearance mostly accepted this foreign classmate within a day.

  On the second day, people still came to the door of Class 3, Grade 2, intentionally passing by, and Niel completely ignored the gazes directed at her, chatting with her classmates in fluent Chinese.

  Cheng Shui Xin didn't show any reaction to the beautiful girl's appearance, and instead happily chatted with Nier in English for a few sentences. Seeing that someone in her class had such good spoken language skills, Nier was also surprised, repeatedly praising Cheng Shui Xin's English level as being higher than that of her classmates in England.

  Talking about life in the UK, there's gossip among girls: "Niel is so pretty, does she have a boyfriend in the UK?"

  Nell laughed and replied: "No, there isn't. If there were, I wouldn't have come to China."

  Although Chinese tones are still a bit awkward, such answers also make many people laugh along.

  "Are there many handsome British guys?" This is what girls who have watched a lot of British dramas care about.

  "There are many fat people who eat too much fast food."

  Niece answered quickly. Everyone laughed again.

  Compared to Niel who was surrounded by a group of people during class breaks, Su Yifan sitting next to him still looked very lonely. Especially after knowing that Su Yifan had made a bet with the student council president, no one wanted to talk to him anymore.

  Su Yifan was still busy with his own affairs, and he was still thinking about how to break the deadlock. Zhang Yao didn't match the industry she wanted to enter, so finding a suitable point of convergence was crucial.

  Su Yifan was still deep in thought when he heard someone moving a chair to sit down beside him, and when he looked up, he saw Niel's smiling face.

  "Hello."

  Still with a strange tone, Su Yifan raised his head and took a look at this lovely British girl, then lowered his head again.

  Su Xiaoqing was right, Nier actually crossed over the thick wall of people surrounding her and took the initiative to find Su Yifan to chat.

  The more it was like this, the less Su Yifan wanted to pay attention to Niel. In Su Yifan's eyes, there was no reason for this lively and cheerful British girl to talk to him.

  Even if there was a reason, it's probably not one that Su Yifan would want to know.

  Class monitor Li Peiran was just showing off his gentlemanly demeanor to Niel, offering to introduce her to the school. Seeing Niel proactively go over and talk to Su Yifan, who had an air of indifference about him, that surge of jealousy rose up again in his heart.

  "Su Yifan, your classmate is saying hello to you, don't be so rude."

  Su Yifan raised his head again, he really thought Li Peiran's level was too low, and might not even be as good as Chen Xin.

  "Do I have to listen to you even if it's just about greeting or not greeting my classmates?"

  "You... the teacher told us to unite with new classmates and not to lose face in front of foreign students." Li Peiran was a bit anxious after being refuted by Su Yifan, and he rashly escalated the issue to a diplomatic level.

  Su Yifan really wanted to punch Li Peiran in the face in front of the whole class, but considering that doing so would bring a lot of trouble to Su Xiaqing, she endured it.

  "I don't think there's anything shameful about this. On the contrary, it's those people who every day surround foreign classmates and ask them questions they may not want to answer that are shameful. Do you guys think British students have the same concept of privacy as us?"

  As soon as Su Yifan said this, many of the people who were just chattering and asking Nier if she had a boyfriend looked unhappy. In English class, the teacher had already repeated several times that other countries attach great importance to personal privacy, and because Nier was a transfer student, she specifically reminded the students in Class 3 again.

  After seeing the living British girl, many people still forgot about this question, and most of the questions asked were related to Nell herself, just short of asking about her underwear color.

  Li Peiran was suddenly speechless, just wanting to know how to respond, when Niel, who was sitting next to Su Yifan with her arms around the chair, laughed and said: "Thank you, Su, you're a real gentleman."

  The British girl's meaning was clear, she really didn't like answering those questions about personal privacy. Li Peiran knew that continuing to argue with Su Yifan would be meaningless, and could only mutter: "Anyway, you're friendlier to the classmates who transferred..."

  Su Yifan still didn't respond to him, which made Li Peiran feel very hurt.

  It wasn't long before Su Yifan and Zhai Yufei's bet was about to be cashed in, that Li Peiran became excited again.

  Nier seemed completely unbothered by the dispute between Su Yifan and Li Peiran, leaning against the back of her chair to ask, "Su, don't you usually like talking?"

  Su Yifan remained silent, his fingers gliding across the touchpad to open a folder. He was still somewhat unaccustomed to the touchpad on Apple computers.

  Just like those who are used to Apple products occasionally mock, Su Yifan's actions were filled with the foolishness that only ordinary users have.

  Nina took the initiative to talk to Su Yifan, which surprised Cheng Shuiying, and what surprised her even more was Su Yifan's silence.

  Facing such a young and beautiful British girl, even Cheng Shuiyan himself didn't dare to ignore her. How could Su Yifan possibly sit still?

  "Su, you look so cute when you're being quiet like this."

  Su Yifan finally looked up, he thought that if he didn't say anything else, the British girl would continue talking for a full ten minutes during class break.

  "I'm a bit busy right now, can we chat later if it's just small talk?"

  Zhang Chao turned around and gave Su Yifan a thumbs up.

  This statement is too arrogant, making those boys who surrounded Niel utterly humiliated. Zhang Chao just now actually also wanted to squeeze over and say a few words to the British beauty, mainly because there were too many people and he couldn't squeeze in.

  Nell was indifferent to Su Yifan's coldness, hugging the chair and watching Su Yifan look up data, only returning to her own seat after the class bell rang.

  Many students are curious about how Niel solves the lunch problem, but unexpectedly, this girl eats with everyone in the school cafeteria, eating all sorts of things without being picky at all.

  Su Yifan didn't bother to respond to these, precisely because Su Xiaqing's few words made him have a respectful and distant idea about this Nier.

  In the evening when school was over, Cheng Shuiying stopped at the entrance and waited for Su Yifan to come out, casually walking down the stairs with him side by side.

  "Starting from today, I'll tutor you at night."

  Su Yifan was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

  Cheng Shui Xin shook her head, seemingly self-deprecating as she said: "I thought I could do something with my abilities, but in the end I still fell into the situation I least wanted to see. Rich second generation, student union... these are all things I hate the most. However, since you've already made a bet with Di Yufei, I'll also put in some effort. We're going to defeat him on the aspect he thinks is impossible for us to win."

  Cheng Shui Xin was able to say these words in front of Su Yi Fan, which proved that she had already considered Su Yi Fan as a true friend. This made Su Yi Fan feel somewhat excited.

  On the surface, Su Yifan calmly rejected Cheng Shui'an.

  "Never mind, you're too busy."

  "None of those things are important." Cheng Shui shook his head, "I also want to thank you. If it weren't for your conflict with Chen Xin and Di Yu Fei getting involved, I really wouldn't have known that the reality in school is so cruel."

  Su Yifan smiled indifferently and said: "Zhai Yufei is really nothing to be afraid of, you don't have to worry."

  "But I think that's what makes it cool," said Cheng Shuiying with a smile. "No matter how despicable the other side was, in the end we still won, don't you think that's more interesting?"

  Su Yifan's so-called refusal was just a token resistance, and seeing Cheng Shui'er being so insistent, he no longer pushed her away.

  "Alright, let's go to our secret base instead. If you follow me home, just my parents' gossip will be enough to drive you crazy."

  Two people were talking when footsteps came from behind them as someone rushed down the stairs.

  "Su, don't go so fast, wait for me!"

  Feeling the gaze of Cheng Shuiyan with a hint of provocation, Su Yifan turned around slightly uncomfortably and saw the tall and slender Nier hurrying over.

  Nell still wore the short skirt and woolen stockings, with a large scarf on her chest being exaggeratedly arched upwards, and the fluffy earpiece made that doll-like face even more adorable.

  "Su, are you going straight home tonight? I'm not very familiar with this city, can you take me around?"

  Su Yifan had already keenly discovered that Niel's Chinese didn't seem to be unfamiliar, at least much better than the level she showed.

  Cheng Shuiying had already burst out laughing beside him: "Don't refuse the request of a foreign classmate, let's accompany Niel for a stroll."

  Now that Cheng Shui Xin has spoken, Su Yi Fan no longer objects. So today after school, Chen Xin saw Su Yi Fan being sandwiched between two beauties walking out of the school gate, one of whom was even a foreign girl...

  At night, the coastal city was always lively. Su Yifan was not very familiar with these food and entertainment projects. Fortunately, there was Cheng Shuijin, this living guide to the coastal city's food and entertainment, who took Su Yifan and Niel to many places and ate at several street stalls. Not long after, Niel began to excitedly call Cheng Shuijin "sister" while holding her hand.

  Women are still very sensitive about their age, and Cheng Shuiying immediately asked: "How old is Niel this year?"

  "Sixteen." Nell was beaming with joy all the way.

  Cheng Shui Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, she still disliked being mistakenly called "sister".

  It was only at times like these that Su Yifan could understand how much Cheng Shui'an knew how to enjoy life. After the three of them ate braised meat at a street stall, Cheng Shui'an took them on a winding path behind a small alley and found a store selling fried meat skewers.

  "The skewers here are all made with the finest lean meat, paired with well-adjusted batter and fried to perfection. There's no other restaurant in the city that can beat this one." Cheng Shui Xin not only introduced it but also volunteered to pay the bill.

  "Chinatown has this too, it's delicious!" As a European, Niel's non-fussiness about food is exemplary. "Ah, smelling the aroma makes my mouth water!"

  Three people stood at the entrance of the fried skewers shop and finished eating a big handful of fried skewers. Cheng Shui proposed: "The time is almost up, let's go to the supplementary lesson."

  Su Yifan explained the situation to Nell, but unexpectedly this British girl asked: "Can I go with you? I also want to learn more and catch up with your courses."

  Cheng Shui Xin shrugged: "Of course there's no problem, as long as you're willing to participate."

  Su Yifan was just about to speak when he suddenly felt something was off.

  As the three of them reached the middle section of the alley, Su Yifan noticed a young man with a "Spring Brother" haircut standing in front of them, giving them a sinister and cold smile.

  "You're quite a charmer, aren't you? One man with two beautiful women, aren't you worried about being too busy?"

  This level of provocation was also unfamiliar to Su Yifan, who had only fought with those few hoodlums and hit Chen Xin once. He didn't expect to run into this kind of person in the bustling downtown area, so Su Yifan subconsciously... took a step forward.

  It's not just about standing in front of the two girls, but also because Su Yifan feels that he can't back down when faced with provocation.
