Chapter 106: Are You Going To Move Her?

  The inside story of the Cang and Xi families was unknown to Su Yanran, let alone others in the Luolan family. Although the marriage between the two families had been a big deal back then, no one knew what exactly happened, or why two people who already had their own families would end up together, and how their respective families would change as a result. Apart from some rumors circulating within the Xi family company, outsiders didn't know anything. What's more, nobody knew that Cang Xiyan's father had passed away on the afternoon of the day before their wedding.

  Ever since Cang Xi Jian transferred to Luo Lan Academy, something seemed different.

  Su Youyan worked hard every day, doing her homework, attending classes and memorizing books. But time and again, in exams, that damned Cang Xi Jian's grades were always above hers! Moreover, he was also an all-around talent, excelling in sports, music, painting, almost everything he could participate in, he was ranked first.

  Su Yanran was so angry, gritting her teeth every time, but she couldn't do anything to him. Moreover, this guy was wearing a gray badge and always lingered around her! Ordinary people say: out of sight, out of mind, but this bastard kept appearing in front of her, making it impossible for her to forget!

  "The last math test was easy, because I wrote down all the answers, including different ways of calculating them, so the teacher gave me two more points." Someone buzzed in her ear again. Su Jian's pen almost broke: "Cang Xi Jian classmate, you don't seem to be from this class?"

  She tried her best to maintain her facial expression and didn't want to punch this guy right away.

  Cang Xi Jian raised an eyebrow: "Class is over, so I came to take a look at you, this 'second place'. You seem to be working hard all the time, it looks like you really want to surpass me. 'Second place', you'd better work harder, if you don't put in more effort, you might not be able to climb up. I believe that soon, your 'second place' will climb to my position."

  Every time someone says "runner-up", Su feels like something is hitting her head with a loud "bang, bang, bang". She really wants to lift her foot and stomp on Cang Xi's face, twisting it at the same time. As the saying goes, "when one can no longer tolerate, there's no need to tolerate anymore". She thinks she has been very patient, but when faced with someone as thick-skinned as a city wall, she really can't hold back anymore. Knowing that she dislikes the term "runner-up", he still keeps repeating it over and over again, is he looking for death?!

  "Brother... pen, pen..." Next to him, Su Yan had already seen that the steel pen was pinched and cracked, with ink flowing out continuously. Su Yan repeatedly told himself in his heart: Must stay calm, absolutely must stay calm, don't stoop to the level of this moron, it's because of these freaks with high IQ that the world is so harmonious, just imagine all the technology we have now was created by these geniuses, we just need to enjoy them.

  "I've heard that success is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat... but I don't know what's going on, it seems like I never put in any effort or sweat, yet success always revolves around me. Ah, how embarrassing." Cang Xi said as he slowly walked out of the classroom. Su Yangran threw his practice book at the door: "Die die die die die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  "Brother, brother, you've turned dark, you've turned dark!"

  It's really hard to deal with this kind of nonsense! Su Yanran fiercely shook her hand, and that pen was rendered useless. She rummaged through her pockets for a long time trying to find tissues to wipe her hands, but couldn't even find half a piece. Next to her, Su Yan let out a sigh, took out a handkerchief, gently grasped Su Yanran's hand, and carefully wiped the ink from between her fingers: "Even if you don't get first place, it's okay, brother is still very awesome."

  She certainly knew she was awesome, but the feeling of being suppressed by others was really unbearable... She wanted to win, wanted to stand in the first place, rather than being robbed of the throne by this sudden transfer student.

  "I still have to work harder!" She immediately turned her head and sat down, taking out a pen again to start practicing. Su Yan looked at her helplessly beside her... It was unknown when it started, perhaps from the day she declared herself as the king of the gray faction, her attention gradually shifted away from herself. She no longer carefully watched him, guarded him, he was no longer her birdcage, no longer confined her freedom.

  She started doing her own thing, wanting to move on to higher places, starting to run, and starting to deviate from the original track that only belonged to them...

  Su Yan was happy, he was happy that Su Yang did this, he was happy that Su Yang could gain freedom. But he was also sad, he sadly watched her walk further and further away, even though he tried his best to chase after her footsteps... but found himself powerless. He could only stare blankly at her, staring at her... perhaps one day, she would disappear on the horizon, disappear from his world.

  Not long after, the results came out, and Su Zhongyan finally successfully stood in first place, tied with Cang Xijian. When she saw the results posted on the bulletin board, Cang Xijian suddenly curled up the corners of her mouth: "She's really worked hard, so far, she's the hardest-working person I've met... Hehe, just like you used to be."

  Cang Xi, standing in front of the notice board, furrowed his brow: "You want to move her?"

  "No way, if I don't move her, you won't follow me back obediently. Mother has always wanted you to inherit the company, you know." Cang Xi Jian smiled gently.

  His fist clenched suddenly, Cang Xiyan said nothing and just stared blankly at the notice board. At this moment, Su Yanran happened to walk over from the opposite side, she didn't even glance at Cang Xiyan or Cang Xijian, but directly turned to the notice board. Seeing the first name on it, she finally felt relieved.

  Hu nodded in agreement and praised: "Yang Ran is really quite impressive."

  "I just don't admit defeat." Su said calmly, throwing out a sentence. She didn't admit defeat, she simply didn't admit defeat, no matter who she faced, no matter what kind of person it was.
