Chapter 166 My Best Friend is a Green Tea
She gently tugged at Su Nianxi's sleeve, urging her with her eyes to leave quickly.
Su Nianxi was still chatting and laughing with someone when she suddenly noticed Zhang Lingyue's slight nervousness.
Then, she blinked her big eyes and suddenly saw Zhang Qingzhe.
"Hey! Brother, brother, I'm here."
Su Nianxi jumped and waved, like a nimble fish, and slipped out of the boys' encirclement.
"Su Nianxi, you—" Zhang Lingyue was about to faint from anger.
"Make way, make way!"
Under Zhang Lingyue's almost fiery gaze, under the astonished stares of the surrounding boys, and under the sudden flashes of gossip in the girls' eyes—
Su Nianxi jogged through the traffic and rushed straight to Zhang Qingzhe.
She tilted her bright, pretty face up, her smile so radiant it made the sunlight pale in comparison.
A clear, crisp voice rang out without restraint, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear: "Brother! You've come to pick me up from school?"
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
The girls started chattering amongst themselves: "Who is it? — Su Nianxi's brother?"
"Su Nianxi's brother? He's so handsome!"
"So Su Nianxi has an older brother! Luckily, I haven't been at odds with her. Could she introduce me to her brother?"
"How can you be so shameless? Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"I don't have a boyfriend! All the boys in my class are so immature, how could they be my boyfriends?"
The hostility on the boys' faces instantly turned into embarrassment, and their previous defensiveness and speculation seemed somewhat ridiculous.
Zhang Lingyue stood there, one hand still futilely outstretched in mid-air, unable to catch her slipping best friend.
Her fair cheeks flushed red, and finally she couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Su Nianxi, you idiot—! That's my brother—!"
Seeing Su Nianxi standing affectionately beside her brother, Zhang Lingyue's last bit of resolve crumbled.
She took a deep breath.
Her once crystal-clear eyes now flashed with a hint of despair.
She ignored the stunned boy and jogged across the road.
The sky-blue skirt fluttered lightly, and the amulet adorning the bodice jingled softly.
She stopped in front of Zhang Qingzhe, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Then, she pushed Su Nianxi aside and held Zhang Qingzhe's hand tightly.
The action carried a sense of asserting sovereignty.
"Brother!" she called out, looking up. "You, what are you doing here?"
"I'm a little worried about you, so I'm planning to pick you up from school."
Quiet whispers immediately arose from both sides of the road: "Which one is the real younger sister?"
The boys' expressions changed from embarrassment to confusion.
The girls' eyes lit up, finding it even more captivating than idol dramas.
Su Nianxi wasn't angry; instead, she smiled even more sweetly.
She took Zhang Qingzhe's other arm and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
"Is my brother coming to pick me up? I'm so happy!" Su Nianxi's voice was sweet and coquettish.
Zhang Lingyue glanced at her best friend and felt that this little green tea was too good at hiding her true colors; her level of cunning was really too high.
Su Nianxi then winked at her.
Su Nianxi now felt that her best friend was really a brother-obsessed person, having such a strong possessive desire for her brother.
However, she could understand it. After all, no one would want to give up such a great brother to someone else!
However, Su Nianxi is very generous and will definitely be a good sister-in-law in the future.
Zhang Qingzhe felt both arms being held by a soft touch.
The warmth of his body seeping through his clothes made his heart race.
He sighed helplessly and looked around.
Many parents waiting for their children also looked over.
Their eyes, hardened by the trials of society, lacked the naivety of students, instead carrying genuine envy.
"Young man, you're so lucky!" an auntie carrying a shopping basket said with a smile.
"There are two such beautiful 'witch' sisters in the family," an auntie next to me chimed in.
One parent's gaze lingered on the exquisite amulets, and he remarked, "Their future is limitless."
In this magical world, the witch represents hope.
If a witch appears in your home, it's like opening a path to advancement.
For example, in Zhang Qingzhe's family, although only his mother works, they were able to buy a large flat in cash and still provide for their two children to live a comfortable life.
Moreover, although Zhang Qingzhe did not investigate further, he always felt that his mother's income was more than that.
She might be doing some kind of special job, and her own expenses are quite high.
Therefore, in the eyes of the parents around them, Zhang Qingzhe's family has two witch sisters.
It's like having a pair of jokers in your hand when playing poker.
A stylishly dressed female parent walked over, swaying her hips.
She wore a warm smile, her gaze lingering on Zhang Qingzhe's face.
"Student, you're their brother, right?" the still-attractive female parent asked in a friendly tone.
"Wow, look at your family, everyone's so good-looking! I wonder—do you have a girlfriend yet?"
She paused, then her smile deepened.
"My daughter also studies at the affiliated high school; she just started her first year! She has good grades, is quiet, and quite pretty. Would you like to meet her?"
Zhang Lingyue and Su Nianxi raised their heads almost simultaneously.
The two of them gripped Zhang Qingzhe's arms, instantly increasing their strength.
This was something Zhang Qingzhe couldn't stand.
This is no joke!
The two "little witches" together have more than five hundred "magic loops".
"Let's forget about this one! It's too small—" Zhang Qingzhe casually made up an excuse.
"Oh dear! It's not too small, it's just right. Or do you prefer a bigger one? Well, Auntie has actually been divorced for many years, and her daughter has always wanted a father." The woman said coyly.
Zhang Qingzhe hadn't even had a chance to speak—
"My brother has a girlfriend," Zhang Lingyue blurted out.
"Yes! I already have one." Su Nianxi immediately puffed out her chest.
The little devil thought that her best friend had finally acknowledged her identity and agreed to let her be her sister-in-law.
"Brother, let's go home quickly. I'm hungry," Zhang Lingyue said.
"Yes, yes, I also have a lot of homework to ask my brother!" Su Nianxi chimed in tacitly.
The two girls exchanged a glance.
Without saying a word, they "supported" Zhang Qingzhe from both sides and walked towards the alley.
He left behind a crowd of people with varying expressions.
Zhang Qingzhe felt somewhat helpless; this situation seemed to be heading to the execution ground.
He turned his head to look to his left.
Zhang Lingyue pursed her lips, her ears still slightly red.
Now look to the right.
Su Nianxi smiled, seemingly quite satisfied with her reply.
Kang Ping drove by and glanced at his sister and Su Nianxi.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
From that day on, the secret between the siblings was gone.
Soon the whole high school knew that the two had a handsome older brother.
Moreover, someone would pick them up and walk together every day after school.
Su Nianxi is becoming increasingly free and often spends the night with her younger sister.
Su Nianxi's parents seemed to be very busy and didn't have much time to take care of her.
A few days later, the situation became increasingly urgent.
Media coverage of disaster prevention is gradually increasing.
Although the citizens did not know what had happened, everyone could feel a sense of tension.
On this day, the inspection representative sent by the Green Island City Card Players Association was a vice president surnamed Zhao.
The stated reason is to check the college's teaching quality.
But those in the know understand that this is just a smokescreen.
The anomalies in the Dragon Disaster Zone and the activities of the Deadpool Organization have put the city's upper echelons on edge.
Vice President Zhao stepped into the [Energy Shaping School] with an aura that seemed out of place.
He was in his fifties, and his suit was excessively sharp.
Her hair was combed meticulously, so shiny it could reflect light.
He habitually raises his chin, lowers his eyelids halfway when looking at people, and his eyes are full of a critical look.
However, he exuded the aura of a Grand Master, which showed that he was indeed quite capable.
"The surveillance equipment in the corridors needs to be replaced with the latest models; the management here is too lax."
He walked along with his hands behind his back, commenting as he went, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, speaking slowly and in an official tone.
He would sing out each "flaw" he pointed out, drawing out the melody.
Zhang Qingzhe was sitting at Xia Qiwei's table, asking her about the difficulties with the [Healing Card].
Although he had been studying very hard, the [healing cards] were the biggest challenge he encountered.
To this day, he has no clue whatsoever.
Xia Qiwei leaned back in her chair, playing with the soft ends of her hair with her fingertips.
Her lab wasn't finished being renovated yet, so she had to continue making do in her office.
She had just finished giving a solution when Vice President Zhao stopped at the table.
He first looked at Xia Qiwei's beautiful face, and then followed her graceful curves to her thighs.
Xia Qiwei adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and glanced back at him with some displeasure.
Vice President Zhao coughed lightly, then turned to the sketch in Zhang Qingzhe's hand.
Vice President Zhao pointed with his well-maintained finger, "Aren't you from the [Energy Shaping School]? Why are you learning the [Life School] cards? Student training requires focus; half-heartedness is unacceptable."
His tone was very calm, yet it carried an undeniable conviction.
Xia Qiwei stopped twirling her hair and slowly raised her purple eyelids, revealing Vice President Zhao's greasy face reflected in her glasses.
"Vice President Zhao, how I teach my students is none of your business," Xia Qiwei said, her voice languid as if she had just woken up.
"Hey! Young man, watch your attitude." Vice President Zhao's face showed a hint of displeasure.
"The students I select are exceptionally talented, so mastering cards from multiple schools of thought is just a piece of cake."
Xia Qiwei tapped lightly on the sketch with her rosy fingertips. "I hope some mortals won't point fingers and humiliate themselves."
If it were any other professor, they certainly wouldn't dare to respond to their superior like that.
However, Xia Qiwei is the "Great Witch," and the synonym for "Great Witch" is unruly and rebellious!
The other professors in the office all lowered their heads instinctively.
They were used to being around Xia Qiwei and didn't complain about her. Instead, they secretly grumbled, "Your boss is too arrogant! Can't you see she's a 'big witch'? How could she let you throw your weight around like that!"
Vice President Zhao's face darkened.
He hadn't encountered such an tactless person in a long time, and for a moment he didn't know how to retort.
Soon, a secretary from the school approached, smiling obsequiously, and explained, "Vice President Zhao is right; those are truly wise words. However, this Professor Xia is the 'Great Witch' of the Witches' Sisterhood, and she also has her own set of teaching methods."
"The Witches' Guild?"
Upon hearing this term, Vice President Zhao finally toned down his official demeanor.
He turned abruptly and walked to the table next to him. "The Witches' Sisterhood, they're certainly unconventional!"
"Hmph!" Xia Qiwei snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever.
Zhang Qingzhe quietly put away his notebook.
One glance at this vice president revealed his blatant display of official arrogance.
He glanced at Vice President Zhao's leaning-back figure, then looked at Xia Qiwei, who was lazily yawning.
Suddenly, he felt a little glad that he hadn't joined the Card Masters Association.
Otherwise, just thinking about having a boss like that every day would give me a stomachache.
I'm definitely more suited to the Witch Sisters Club.
At least when the leader gets angry, he won't put on airs; he'll just kick him with his little feet.
Vice President Zhao was very concerned about his reputation, but after being rebuffed by Xia Qiwei, his expression immediately turned sour.
He turned around with his hands behind his back, his gaze landing on Kang Ping.
Kang Ping immediately stood up and warmly greeted him.
"Vice President Zhao, it is truly an honor for us to have you personally come to the academy to provide guidance."
Kang Ping smiled appropriately. "The issues you just pointed out were indeed very insightful and we benefited greatly from them."
The light from outside the window shifted slightly, turning Kangping's smiling face into a shadow, giving it an indescribable distortion.
"Professor Kangping, you're too kind."
Vice President Zhao's expression softened slightly, and he raised his chin again. "I heard you were injured some time ago? It seems you've recovered quite well."
He looked Kang Ping up and down, his expression suggesting an assessment.
"Thanks to you, I'm fully recovered."
Kang Ping straightened his back, his magical energy flowing smoothly throughout his body, making him appear exceptionally energetic. "Moreover, as a blessing in disguise, my [Magic Circuit] has started to grow again."
"Oh? What a miracle!"
Vice President Zhao's voice rose at the end, indicating he was very interested.
"During my injury, I repeatedly reviewed the [Magic Circuit] and reflected on your teachings over the years, gaining some new insights."
Kang Ping spoke with feigned sincerity, but his eyes darted around to his other colleagues, as if to show how good his relationship with the leader was.
Zhang Qingzhe sat to the side, quietly organizing his notes.
He felt that the scene seemed to be deliberately arranged.
There was a tacit understanding between the two, as if they had planned it beforehand.
Vice President Zhao nodded, a slight smile finally appearing on his face: "Very good! Remaining humble and composed, breaking through personal limitations in adversity—these are the qualities a Card Master should possess. With your current state and solid theoretical foundation, your promotion to Grand Card Master is just around the corner."
He patted Kang Ping on the shoulder, his gesture encouraging: "Our [Card Masters Association] needs someone like Professor Kang Ping who is both knowledgeable and reliable."
