Chapter 4

As soon as Yu Xiujin had sat down, Cheng Qi immediately shuffled over.

“Xiujin, what are you doing? Suddenly getting fresh, you even scared the poor little girl.”

Yu Xiujin glanced at him, “What are you so nervous about? It’s not like I’m getting fresh with you.”

Saying so, he set his sights to the seats towards the left, two rows in front of him.

He thought that it would’ve taken him a long time to find her.

He never expected that she was right under his nose.

“What kind of expression is that?” Cheng Qi looked at him, and then followed his sightline to look at Shen Mengmeng, “How come it feels like a wolf staring at a sheep?”

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, he guessed, “The one that you took fancy to, it couldn’t be her right? The one whose height was less than 160cm, with airy bangs and big eyes.”

“En, it’s her.” Earlier, when he went up, he especially took a look. The ambiguous kiss marks he had left on the back of her neck yesterday were still there.

“Holy crap…” Cheng Qi rolled his eyes speechlessly, “Shen Mengmeng has been in the same class with us for five or six years already. You didn’t even know who she was, then you suddenly say you’re in love with her?”

Yu Xiujin frowned and hesitantly said, “We have been in the same class for five or six years? From junior high until now?”

No wonder why he vaguely felt like she was familiar when he saw her yesterday.

“That’s right. She’s been especially popular since the beginning of junior high. Afterall, she has a baby face with big breasts, is docile and obedient, honest and clean, has high academic performance and well-behaved…”

Speaking up to this point, he glanced at Yu Xiujian disdainfully.

“Forget it, it’s not like you care about the things in the class anyways.”

Yu Xiujin touched his nose awkwardly. He really didn’t pay much attention to these things. He didn’t even know whether the homeroom teacher was male or female.

Cheng Qi boredly twirled the pen and leisurely said, “It’s actually quite difficult to chase after her. Her interest towards learning is stronger than that towards the opposite sex.”

“Let’s ignore the other suitors. Just Si Ze alone had diligently chased after her for the past two-three years. It’s just a pity that she only has learning in her heart.”

The corner of Yu Xiu’s mouth couldn’t help but slightly lift, “It’s not that she has a higher interest towards learning compared to the opposite sex. It’s just that she already has a person she likes in her heart.”

“Who?” How come he has never heard of this before?

“Me.”

Yesterday, the way she looked at him…

He couldn’t mistake that.

……

Just as Shen Mengmeng had washed her hands and came out of the women’s washroom, she saw Yu Xiujin leaning against the railings along the hallway, chatting with the other boys.

Her ears and face flushed red, her heart drummed as she thought of their encounter these days. She could not help but speed up her pace.

“Shen Mengmeng.” Someone called out to her from behind.

Hearing his rich magnetic voice, she turned around in shock as a pair of bright eyes looked towards him in panic.

He walked towards her, bringing the distance between the two closer and closer.

“Wha…What…” She took two steps back in fear. He suddenly leaned over. A handsome face magnified in front of her eyes.

“Ringgggg!” The bell rang, signaling the start of class. The students that were still in the hallway all scattered like birds, and surged into the classroom.

“It’s time for class…” She looked at the hallway that had suddenly emptied out. Originally, she wanted to walk around him, but he suddenly reached out and stopped her.

“You haven’t fixed your skirt.” He reminded, and even especially thoughtfully helped her slowly pull out the hem of her skirt that was caught between her safety pants.¹

¹TN: Think of safety pants as shorts. In China, a lot of girls wear shorts under their skirts so they don’t accidentally flash their underwear to people.

She shamefully blushed, whispered a “Thank you”, then fixed her skirt, and turned around, wanting to hurriedly flee like yesterday.

Suddenly, he pulled her wrist, used a skillful amount of strength, and pulled her into his arms.

The two were in extremely close proximity. The petite her was nestled in his warm embrace with a stupefied expression.

The peculiar light fragrance of his body wafted into her nose, causing her heart to incessantly pound.
