CH 19

After Peijin arrived at class and sat down in her seat, she couldn’t stop feeling a little uncomfortable.

It was fine when she hadn’t realized it before, but once she knew that He Xun paid attention to her from time to time, she subconsciously straightened up, not wanting to have a hunch backed.

She sat in the first row, so it was just He Xun could see her, she couldn’t see He Xun and that didn’t make her feel good knowing this. But who let her be so short. Her stubby legs weren’t privileged enough to sit in the back. If she were to sit in the back, she wouldn’t be able to clearly see the blackboard because all the students in front of her were taller than her.

As a result, Peijin could only settle for the idea of sitting in the back rows.

Right as she was contemplating it, her phone suddenly vibrated.

As soon as she unlocked her phone, she found it was a wechat message from He Xun.

[ He Xun: Nerd, is there a bug on your stool? ]

Peijin’s first reaction to seeing this message was to stand up and look at her lower bottom, once she discovered that her seat was spotless, she sent a message back to He Xun.

[ Little Five: No, why? ]

[ He Xun: Then why do you keep twisting around? ]

Peijin was dumbstruck, then instantaneously angry from humiliation.

Was she not even allowed to itch her ass?

She would never admit to him that because of him, she was moving left and right on the stool, shifting here and there, feeling various sorts of restless.

Just why was He Xun focusing on her? Did he have so much free time?

Peijin didn’t answer his question, but purposefully changed the topic.

[ Little Five: Brother Xun, you got up early today, are you not going to take a nap? ]

[ He Xun: I slept surprisingly well last night, didn’t dream, now I don’t feel tired at all. ]

After she saw the two words, ‘last night’, Peijin self-consciously thought of this morning, to the thing she had accidentally kicked along with a certain someone’s hand who had been on her waist!

Just as she was thinking of He Xun’s hand, He Xun’s next message came.

[ He Xun: right, nerd, I was still drowsy at that time, but your waist felt really soft and slender. Was I mistaken? ]

Peijin didn’t even feel her face flush red. He had even actually, specifically, felt it?

Heaven knows after she had kicked the thing she shouldn’t have kicked, her brain had gone blank, empty of any ideas. Not even mentioning touching it, currently aside from feeling embarrassed and awkward, she couldn’t remember anything else.

He, he, he…was the worst!

Peijin indignantly replied, [ Little Five: Brother Xun, my waist is thick and tough, you’re mistaken? ]

While she was typing these words, Peijin’s fingers were especially more forceful as she jabbed the screen, words could hardly describe the complicated feeling in her heart.

She knew that something would happen from sleeping together! Yeah, something had nearly gone wrong!

This time, He Xun didn’t didn’t send another wechat.

Peijin breathed a sigh of relief, just as she wanted to put away her phone, right then, her phone vibrated again. She took out her phone to find that it was a message from Meng Meng.

[ Meng Meng: Small elder brother, you’ll be at your class later, right? ]

Peijin felt that this message was a bit odd, but she still replied, [ Little Five: I’m there, what’s up? ]

[ Meng Meng: It’s nothing. ]

Peijin didn’t keep their conversation in mind for long and a while later, she had forgotten about Meng Meng.

During second period’s break, the boy sitting by the window suddenly stood up violently.

“Yo, yo, yo.”

“Woah!”

“Peijin, there’s a beautiful girl looking for you!”

“Peijin, Peijin, hurry up and come here!”

Peijin felt it was a bit strange, she didn’t have a lot of friends, and aside from He Xun, she was only close to Fatty and Zheng Li. However they were in the same class as her, it would be completely unnecessary for them to need their other classmates to be their messenger. Then who was looking for her right now?

Once Peijin stepped out of class, she caught sight of Meng Meng standing by the door with a lunchbox.

Meng Meng, what was this?

After Meng Meng saw her, she stepped forward a few steps with a shy smile.

She softly called out, “Small elder brother.”

Peijin’s face froze in confusion, “Eh?”

Meng Meng handed over the lunchbox in her hands, “In here are fruits I prepared, there’s apples, melon, kiwi, grapes, and papaya, I didn’t know what kind of fruits you liked so I especially prepared a variety, you can pick out the ones you like.”

“Ah?” Peijin blankly received the box of fruits from Meng Meng’s hands.

What was this supposed to mean? What wasn’t she understanding?

While she was still at a loss, the rest of the students continuously made a racket from the sidelines. There was even an excited boy who purposefully copied Meng Meng by raising the pitch of their voice and said in a mocking manner, “You can pick out the ones you like. Oh wow, wow.”

The crowd who attended the boys’ only highschool were invariably guys who couldn’t see girls for a long time and had nearly gone crazy from seeing just one girl. Aside from the excited student who’d taken the initiative to talk, there were several other boys who eagerly inserted themselves.

“Little sister, how about sending this big brother some fruits too?”

“Little sister, are you from the school next door? What’s your name?”

“Come, come, come, let me introduce myself first, I’m called…”

Undoubtedly, all of them were seventeen to eighteen year old teenagers, but each and every one of them resembled a creepy uncle. It had been way too long since they had studied or lived alongside girls and now pumped with adrenaline, the boys were completely unable to settle down.

Meng Meng had never expected her arrival would trigger such a large sensation, after she gave Peijin the fruits she fled, leaving Peijin confused and with a box of fruit in her hands.

After Peijin went back in class, the other students were still kicking up a fuss and someone had even asked her for this girl’s contact information.

Peijin completely ignored them and directly went to send Meng Meng a message.

[ Little Five: These fruits are for? ]

Meng Meng replied.

[ Meng Meng: Small elder brother, these are fruits are a thank you gift. If you want to eat anything, I’ll deliver it to you tomorrow. ]

Right as Peijin was about to reply, at this moment, someone abruptly snatched her phone away.

Then she found that He Xun had at some point had been unknowingly standing beside her.

He Xun read the two’s conversation word by word. Once he was done, he expressionlessly clicked his tongue and left without saying anything.

Peijin had no idea why, but she felt uneasy.

She sent a message back to Meng Meng, telling her that she didn’t need to give her anything tomorrow before putting away her phone.

She thought that after she told this to Meng Meng, Meng Meng wouldn’t come again, but she had never expected Meng Meng to report right on break the next day.

This time, she didn’t bring fruits, but had bought a small cake she had baked herself.

Meng Meng smiled a bit bashfully at the classroom’s doorway, “Small elder brother, yesterday you didn’t tell me what you wanted to eat, so I made a cake for you to try. Have a taste later.” The people around them got even more rowdier.

Once was fine, the second time, no matter how dense Peijin was she could also somewhat realize it.

Meng Meng, could it be she liked her? Just because she had righteously spoken out prior and saved her from the clutches of evil?

So after Meng Meng and Zhang Chen had broken up, she had fallen for a well-meaning person like her?

Once she understood this, for a minute Peijin didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

However right now there were a lot of people at the sidelines, it evidently wasn’t appropriate to say anything. Peijin was also a maiden, so of course she understood a girl’s cautiousness, as well as the delicate, sensitive, and easily hurt heart of most girls. So, she accepted the cake with a slight smile and sincerely thanked her. However after Meng Meng left, she flew to take out her phone from her pocket and speedily sent Meng Meng a text.

[ Little Five: Meng Meng, I’m sorry, but I like guys. ]

Once it was sent, Peijin finally let out a sigh of relief. With this, Meng Meng wouldn’t give her anything to eat anymore, right? Because she had resolved this worry of hers, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but slightly rise.

Not even the next second later, her breath hitched again.

Because He Xun stood in front of her, his face impassive as he looked down at the…small cake in her hands.

Peijin was the first to speak and in a small voice she said, “Brother Xun…”

He Xun’s lips were curved up, yet his eyes held no trace of a smile, “With a couple of fruits and a small cake, someone was able to seduce you?” (1)

(1) The definition of this word, 勾, “hook”, in context to fishing; in a colloquial sense it could be used as seduced, since you are quite literally being “hooked away” or “stolen away.”
