Chapters 38-47

I finally understood what Ji Chao said back then, “Why are you such a blockhead!”…

Ah! I really was!

How could I be such a blockhead!

I stupidly asked, “Shen Qiaowei, is the connection between us just because of a pair of underwear?”

Shen Qiaowei raised his hand and patted my head: “Forget about the underwear, it’s not important.”

Me: “Then what’s important?”

Shen Qiaowei: “You are more important.”

Ji Chao: He knew about it a long time ago.

I stared at these eight words, I was dumbfounded.

I wondered if the nine-year compulsory education I received had been ineffective for me. Why couldn’t I recognize these eight words?

Me: He already knew?

Ji Chao: Yes.

Me: When did he know?

Ji Chao: I don’t know, maybe he knew from the beginning.

Me: ……

Did he know about it from the beginning? !

I was f*cken dumbfounded.

Had Shen Qiaowei been teasing me for fun all this time?

40

I didn’t have time to think about my changed feelings towards Shen Qiaowei, because I was angry.

I was so angry that I went ahead to block Shen Qiaowei’s WeChat account.

Humph, let’s see how you can play me now!

Then that night, I forgot about it completely and started to lie in bed and happily catch up with a drama until I received a phone call.

Who was this?

Me: “I don’t need to buy a house, I don’t need to take out a loan, I don’t need to learn English, and I don’t have children, who are you?”

The person on the other side: ……

Me: “I will hang up if you don’t speak.”

“I dare you to try and hang up.”

I sat up straight on the bed like carp, “Shen, Shen Qiaowei?”

Shen Qiaowei: “Why did you block me on Wechat?”

Me: ……

Because I was angry?

Because you fooled me?

Me: “Because I don’t want to talk to you! Hmph!”

After I finished speaking, I was stunned. This voice, which was comparable to that of a cute girl, actually belonged to me?

Shen Qiaowei paused, his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was holding back something: “You come down first, I’m downstairs in front of your dormitory.”

Me: ? ?

I immediately got out of my bed and walked to the balcony.

Looking down, Shen Qiaowei really was standing downstairs, and many girls were staring at him from a distance.

I felt resentful seeing his lack of improvement: “Can you stop standing there like a supermodel, you are being watched, do you know?”

Shen Qiaowei: …

Then he turned around and walked into the small garden nearby.

Shen Qiaowei: “Can you come down now?”

I could even hear him gritting his teeth silently as he spoke.

Hey, it was quite fun to see this.

So I changed clothes slowly, combed my hair slowly, and took my time to walk down the dormitory building.

Who told him to fool me, I would let him wait patiently.

However, when I saw Shen Qiaowei in the small garden, I regretted it.

He sat on the bench obediently, raising his eyes when he heard some movement. Those eyes, they were resentful and aggrieved, they propelled me to reflect on myself on the spot.

Even worse, there were mosquitoes in this garden, and there was a mosquito bite on top of his forehead.

I wanted to laugh but also dared not to, I felt a little sorry for him.

Shen Qiaowei: “Just laugh.”

Me: “Hahahahahahaha!”

Shen Qiaowei: …

When I was done, he seemed to be angry, and he turned his head away from me.

Me: “Are you angry?”

Shen Qiaowei: “No.”

Me: “Why are you saying you’re not angry, you won’t even look at me. Don’t be angry, turn your head back around and look at me…”

Then Shen Qiaowei turned his face back obediently, his eyes sparkling and bright.

I raised my hand and touched the lump on his forehead: “It’s quite big, is it itchy?”

Originally only this lump was red. After I touched it, his whole face became red.

Me: “Shen Qiaowei, are you allergic?”

Shen Qiaowei glared at me.

Did I say something wrong?

So I changed my words: “Shen Qiaowei, why is your face so red?”

Then……

He stared at me even more fiercely!

I wanted to cry but there were no tears.

Shen Qiaowei: “Why did you block me on Wechat?”

Me: “Because I didn’t want to talk to you!”

Shen Qiaowei instantly froze.

He was suddenly discouraged, his voice became soft, and he asked, “Why?”

Those pretty eyes stared at me, and his thin eyelashes flickered up and down, my heart skipped a beat just from looking at this.

I looked away: “Because you lied to me.”

Shen Qiaowei: “I lied to you? How did I lie to you?”

Me: “You already knew that I was the one who took your underwear, and you pretended not to know, and you kept playing with me.”

Shen Qiaowei: “Who told you that?”

Me: “Ji Chao.”

Me: ……

Oops, I accidentally said it out loud.

Shen Qiaowei: “He’s lying to you.”

I displayed an expression of disbelief: “Really? I don’t believe you.”

Shen Qiaowei stared at me aggrievedly: “Would you rather believe him over me?”

Me: ……

Shen Qiaowei, do you know that acting cute is cheating?

He stared at me and said softly, “Yingying.”

Ah, do you know how deadly it is when you call me Yingying? !

This man was too good at acting cute!

I started panting hard, and said every word with a pause: “I… believe you.”

Shen Qiaowei suddenly hugged me.

My whole body froze.

He chuckled lightly, and his voice was so gentle that it caused me to become a mess, “Yingying, why are you so cute?”

I blushed.

My brain was down.

My heart was about to jump out of my chest.

Shen Qiaowei still held onto me, rubbing his chin against the top of my hair.

“You are so cute, I can’t let you go.”

I was lying on Shen Qiaowei’s chest, I could smell the faint scent on his body and I could hear his powerful heartbeat.

I felt dizzy, as if all this was just a dream.

Until the end Shen Qiaowei said: “Hurry up and unblock me, or I will kiss you.”

Me: ? ! ! !

I f*cken woke up instantly!

41

I regretted it.

I shouldn’t have spent such a long time in that garden with Shen Qiaowei.

After returning to the dormitory, I stared at the mosquito bites on my legs and arms, crying without tears.

I will never go to that little garden again!

After unblocking Shen Qianwei, I discovered that he had posted a photo of his legs filled with mosquito bites on his Wechat Moments, the caption was “The symbol of chasing love”.

Then Ji Chao left a comment for him.

Ji Chao: You guys are really wild, holding onto each other’s ankles and leaving so many hickeys.

Shen Qiaowei: Scram.

42

I think Shen Qiaowei’s feelings for me may have also changed.

Because this person kept showing great concern for me every day, although it didn’t receive any response….

For example:

Shen Qiaowei: Did you finish your homework? Send it over for me to see.

Me: [Photo]

Ten minutes later.

Shen Qiaowei: Cui Yingying.

Me: Ah?

Shen Qiaowei: If you had just tried to flip through the textbook, then you wouldn’t have gotten it so wrong.

Me: ……

And another example, during our common required class:

Shen Qiaowei: You skipped class again?

Me: I did not!

Shen Qiaowei: Where are you?

Me: The last row.

Shen Qiaowei looked back at me.

Shen Qiaowei: Why are you so far away?

I was halfway through reading up about the latest drama online, and then I quickly closed the Weibo app.

Why am I so far away? Of course I am afraid that you will supervise me!

But I replied with a very high EQ response: Because I want to appreciate the back of a handsome guy’s head.

Shen Qiaowei did not reply for a long time.

I looked in his direction, and from afar, I saw the tips of his ears…they were red.

43

Shen Qiaowei asked me to go swimming.

I was extremely alert: “Why?”

Shen Qiaowei: “No reason, will you go or not?”

I hesitated.

Could it be that this person, he…wanted to see the look of me in a swimsuit?

Thinking of this, I blushed involuntarily.

I said shyly: “But…I can’t swim…”

Shen Qiaowei: “Oh, forget it, I’ll ask Ji Chao to go with me then.”

Me: ? ? ?

Couldn’t he say something like “I will teach you”?

No, how could he meet other men in swimsuits at this time?

I needed to take the initiative!

So when Shen Qiaowei turned to leave, I grabbed his arm.

Shen Qiaowei: ?

Me: “Can’t you teach me?”

Speaking these words, I instantly regretted it.

This tone, this posture, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like I was acting cute!

Sure enough, Shen Qiaowei was also stunned.

He looked down at me for a long time before nodding blankly: “Okay.”

44

Then, I returned to the place of trouble, the starting point of the story, the source of all evil — the swimming hall.

This time, I finally went into the right locker room.

Tears, my family.

Then I realized a problem.

You couldn’t wear contact lenses while swimming, so when I would flop in the pool later, I would be blind, and I wouldn’t be able to see Shen Qiaowei’s body at all.

Ah, I hate it…

Finally, I dawdled while going out.

My swimsuit was separated with a top and bottom, and there were some frills around the waist. There was a small skirt underneath, it was quite conservative.

But I didn’t know why, when I saw Shen Qiaowei, I still blushed.

Shen Qiaowei coughed lightly, “Let’s go down from here, this is the shallow area.”

Then he put a pink floatie around me.

Me: ? ?

Me: “Isn’t this the shallow area?”

Shen Qiaowei: “You are too short, there is a possibility that you will drown in the shallow water.”

Me: ……

I hope that this person won’t leave the house with his mouth next time, thank you.

After entering the water, I stayed in the corner of the swimming pool while holding the floatie, keeping a distance of three meters away from Shen Qiaowei.

Being 800 degrees near-sighted meant I couldn’t see anything clearly, I could only blink my eyes blankly.

Shen Qiaowei: “Didn’t you tell me to teach you how to swim? Come here.”

Me: “I’m too short, I will drown in two steps.”

Shen Qiaowei: …

He strode towards me, grabbed the floatie and pulled hard, pulling me in front of him.

In an instant, his chest muscles were enlarged and clear before my eyes. The droplets of water descended along the chest bit by bit, flowing through the clear gully of his abdominal muscles, and then continued down.

The visual impact was as great as when I had seen his CK panties.

Shen Qiaowei put an arm on the floatie, looked at me with playful eyes, and suddenly smiled, “I said the wrong thing, you are not short.”

Then he glanced down very quickly: “You have a good waist and good legs, you have everything that you need to have, there is nothing missing at all.”

After speaking, he swam away.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and then I held onto my chest.

This person was a pervert! !

45

My family, listen to my advice, don’t swim together when you are still in the ambiguous stage of your relationship, it is too torturous.

When Shen Qiaowei had physical contact with me, I blushed; but without physical contact, I was afraid that I would drown.

And I discovered that this person, after teaching for just a few minutes, he would blush and swim away. It would take a while before he would come back.

It was baffling.

After choking a few times in the water, I was tired.

Me: “Shen Qiaowei, I don’t want to swim anymore.”

Shen Qiaowei: “Then go back up.”

I nodded and was about to turn around. Suddenly, my feet slipped and I was about to fall back into the water. Shen Qiaowei had sharp eyes and nimble fingers, he pulled me over quickly and stabilized my body.

Surprised, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then, I tried to push him away, but he didn’t move.

I looked up blankly and found that he was staring at me, his eyes were getting deeper and deeper.

The atmosphere didn’t seem right, so I tried to speak: “Shen…”

Before I could finish speaking, Shen Qiaowei suddenly pressed me against the pool wall behind him.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed me.

When the warm touch fell upon my lips, I was left dumbfounded.

I subconsciously wanted to push him away, but my hand fell on his chest, his muscles were firm, wet and slippery.

So much so that my head was full of — it feels so good to touch it.

First kiss, my first kiss was happening in the swimming pool?

F*ck, is this the romance between adults?

I don’t know how long it took when Shen Qiaowei finally let me go.

He pressed his forehead against me and asked softly, “Yingying, be my girlfriend, okay?”

I was so dizzy by the kiss, I nodded blankly before I could consider what he had said.

Then he swam away.

Yes, yes, swim away.

I was full of question marks.

Me: “Aren’t you going up?”

Shen Qiaowei: “You go up first, I’ll calm down.”

Me: ? ? ?

Did you need to be so shocked after I promised to be your girlfriend? Why did you need calm down?

I said enigmatically: “If you regret it, just say it. It’s not too late yet.”

Shen Qiaowei waved me over.

I swam over reluctantly.

Shen Qiaowei pressed close to my ear and lowered his voice: “The flag has been raised.”

I didn’t react for a while.

He glanced under him very quickly, his voice carrying a laugh: “Would you like to touch it?”

F*ck! ! ! !

I ran faster than at a 100-meter sprint.

46

I felt like my legendary experience could be written into a book, such as “How the domineering school hunk fell for me” or “A love sparked by a pair of underwear”.

I became Shen Qiaowei’s girlfriend just like this?

I was shocked and didn’t react for a long time until Ji Chao came to find me.

He asked, “Yingying, have you asked Qiaowei why he likes you?”

I shook my head: “No.”

Ji Chao patted me: “You’re really a blockhead, how could you not ask about this kind of thing!”

Me: ……

So I ran to ask.

After hearing my question, Shen Qiaowei looked at me, a smile in his voice: “Actually, I had seen you before.”

“When?”

Shen Qiaowei hugged me gently and told me a long story.

He said that the first time he saw me was at the end of freshman year.

At that time, he went to the classroom to study, and saw a young girl crying while reading.

Although she was crying, she was being very serious.

He couldn’t help but stare at the young girl for a while.

For several days, he kept seeing the young girl in that classroom.

Of course, she was still reading while crying.

Me: ……

Me: “Don’t tell me the young girl is me, right?”

Shen Qiaowei nodded.

He asked me: “Were you heartbroken at the time?”

Me: ……

Me: “No, it’s because when I opened the book, I realized that I didn’t even write my name during my exam.”

Shen Qiaowei: …

Shen Qiaowei: “Did you fail that class in the end?”

I was quite proud: “I didn’t! Amazing, right?”

Shen Qiaowei continued.

Later, when he started volunteering, he met me again, actually he met me several times in a row.

He said that every time he volunteered, other girls would circle around him, and I was the only one working diligently beside him, carrying a water bucket up five floors without even panting.

Me: ……

Me: “So you fell for my strength?”

Shen Qiaowei: “It’s possible.”

Me: ……

Me: “Other people praise their girlfriends for being cute, how come you’re praising me for my strength?”

Shen Qiaowei smiled even more.

He gently squeezed my cheek: “Are you angry?”

Me: “Hng, no!”

Shen Qiaowei: “Cuteness is only one of your thousand good points.”

I blushed instantly.

Once this person started to say romantic words, they came one after the other.

Me: “What about the other good points? Are you…”

Shen Qiaowei accurately found my lips and blocked the rest of my words.

“From now on, I will slowly tell them to you.”

(The End)
