71. Advancing by retreating

Yan Shi started regaining her consciousness. Her body felt so numb and soft. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy.

Why did this happen? Yan Shi started recalling what happened yesterday night.

As her memory began to come back, Yan Shi suddenly opened her eyes wide.

“Xiao Shi Tou, you’re finally awake. If not, you might be late.” Cheng Yimian had thoughtfully prepared breakfast for Yan Shi.

Yan Shi turned her head to her side and was met with Cheng Yimian’s eyes. Yan Shi blushed and quickly moved her eyes away.

Nan Fengyi also noticed that Yan Shi was awake, so he went to Yan Shi’s bedside and asked: “Little Guy, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Yan Shi truly felt uncomfortable. Her body felt as if it had been broken and then reassembled into a new one. Her lower body also felt numb and hot. It seemed as if the thick and big c*ck was still banging in her small hole where its wetness was gradually spreading.

But to say that it hurt, it didn’t count as hurting at all. So Yan Shi shook her head and said: “No, I’m just a little tired.”

What would Yimian and Nan Fengyi see her as? Yan Shi didn’t want to face reality at all.

Just when Yan Shi was still in her thoughts, someone patted Yan Shi’s shoulder.

Yan Shi thought that it was Cheng Yimian and quickly lifted her head, but she was met with an average-looking face instead. Yan Shi’s smile immediately diminished as she asked: “Hi, do you need anything?”

The glasses boy said: “It’s like this, I heard that Yan Shi you always like languages, so I want to ask if you want to join the language contest.”

“Language contest?”

“Yes, you’ll get prizes for joining. Are you interested in joining?” The glasses boy seemed to become anxious as he stared directly at Yan Shi without looking away.

It was too hard to find someone to join the language contest. This contest wasn’t difficult and it had amazing prizes. But then, most students in their school did not need the money and half of them were athletes. The rest of the normal students were all guys, and most guys weren’t interested in languages as well.

To get enough people to join the contest, the glasses boy who was also the student council secretary began to spread the word.

How would Yan Shi not agree after hearing about the prize? She nodded directly without saying another word: “I’m willing to join!”

The glasses boy let out a sigh of relief and said: “That’s great.”

The glasses boy helped to register Yan Shi’s name and told Yan Shi to go to the first classroom on the second floor of the school building after the self-study lesson. They would brief her more details at that time.

Yan Shi nodded, indicating that she noted.

The temptation of a prize was too much for Yan Shi. Furthermore, she liked languages and she would also read many books during her free time.

Of course, this was also related to Yan Shi’s inability to buy a smartphone. Ever since she had a smartphone, Yan Shi realized that phones were very fun to use. She thought that if she had a better family background, she would not have so much time to go to the library to read.

After the glasses boy left, Cheng Yimian came back. Cheng Yimian used the time in between lessons to buy a lot of food from the food stall at school.

“Xiao Shi Tou, you eat too little for breakfast. Now eat more, or else you’d get hungry again before noon.” Cheng Yimian said while helping Yan Shi to peel off the zongzi¹TN: sticky rice dumpling粽子.

The food stall in the school didn’t just sell snacks and drinks, they also sold sausages, fried chicken, zongzi and tea egg.

Yan Shi definitely didn’t eat much in the morning, so she did feel a little hungry at this time. She took a bite of the zongzi from Cheng Yimian’s hand.

“Xiao Shi Tou, yesterday night–”

“Cough cough cough……” Yan Shi accidentally lost her breath when she heard the words ‘last night’, and got choked on the food.

Cheng Yimian quickly put down the zongzi and hit Yan Shi’s back to help her breathe as he asked: “Xiao Shi Tou why are you so careless? Are you okay? Want to drink some water?”

Yan Shi felt that she couldn’t face Cheng Yimian after she thought about what happened last night. She turned her eyes away, and whispered in a tone only audible to her and Cheng Yimian: “Yimian, are you angry with me? I thought I was dreaming last night.”

How would Cheng Yimian, who like Yan Shi so much, enjoy having a third wheel in between them? Actually he could do what he wanted and make Yan Shi draw a line between her and Nan Fengyi, but Cheng Yimian didn’t choose to do so. Because he knew that even if he did it, Yan Shi would still regret it in the future.

Cheng Yimian understood Yan Shi’s personality. He knew that Yan Shi was the type that would repay a person twice the kindness if the other person was kind to her. Not to mention that Yan Shi even had feelings for Nan Fengyi. She had known Nan Fengyi for quite a long time.

Since he couldn’t make Yan Shi forget about Nan Fengyi thoroughly, then why not be more ‘considerate’ and put himself in the position of the nice guy who yielded, then gradually gain a bigger part of Yan Shi’s heart.

“Xiao Shi Tou, I obviously only want you to be together with me. But you can’t help liking Nan Fengyi too, and I don’t want to see you in an awkward position.” Cheng Yimian showed an expression of suffering. His black eyelashes hung downwards slightly, blocking his pair of bright eyes.

She had to say that Cheng Yimian was born with looks that were truly too deceitful. He had skin that was finer and smoother than an average girl. Beneath his thick, long lashes were amber-colored irises that looked clear and bright. It could make others feel bad for him when he showed just a little expression of hurt and suffering.

A soft-hearted person like Yan Shi could not resist that look at all. She quickly consoled him: “It’s all my fault, if only I–”

“How can it be Xiao Shi Tou’s fault, it’s my fault for being unable to make you like me alone.” Cheng Yimian cut off Yan Shi’s words. Although he spoke like that, it wasn’t reflected in his eyes.

But the more Cheng Yimian said that Yan Shi was not at fault, the more Yan Shi felt that she was the bad one. She silently swore in her heart that she must treat Cheng Yimian better.

Yan Shi was not good at disguise. Her thoughts were all written on her face. When Cheng Yimian saw that, he knew that the first step of his plan had succeeded.

Cheng Yimian laughed secretly in his heart, then grabbed Yan Shi’s hand under the table. He said with a small voice: “Xiao Shi Tou, don’t be too burdened. You should feel happy to like a person. Smile, alright?”

Faced with Cheng Yimian’s bright smile, Yan Shi felt that the fog that was draped around her heart had gradually faded away. She then also let out a smile.

===

Yan Shi told Cheng Yimian about the language contest. Cheng Yimian didn’t say stuff like ‘I have money, you don’t need to join the language contest’, but was being supportive of Yan Shi instead.

Cheng Yimian would be naughty sometimes like a reincarnated small demon, but in fact he had meticulous thoughts and would take other people’s feelings into consideration. Although Yan Shi liked money, she didn’t like it to be given to her.

Yan Shi was extremely happy to have Cheng Yimian’s support. After letting the teacher know, she went to the school building for a briefing.

But Yan Shi’s smile would disappear soon because there were two familiar people waiting for her there.
