73. His ‘fancy’ is too rational

After they walked further ahead, Yan Shi said thank you to Wen Tianji, then went back to her classroom alone.

Wen Tianji did not continue following her. He didn’t even say much to Yan Shi.

To say that he liked Yan Shi, his actions did not seem sincere. But to say that he did not like Yan Shi, Wen Tianji had never tried to get close to someone so frequently and proactively.

==

The next day, Yan Shi asked about the class where the glasses boy was in to talk about quitting the contest.

Once the glasses boy heard that Yan Shi wanted to quit, he immediately showed an expression of distress.

“Yan Shi, it’s not because I don’t want to agree, but I’ve already handed up the list. I’m afraid you can’t quit even if you want to quit now.”

Yan Shi was the type who didn’t like to trouble others. She also knew that the glasses boy couldn’t do much even if she asked him.

The glasses boy also saw it but he didn’t get angry. Since Wen Tianji was the first place of his grade, it was good enough that he came to join the contest, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t do it.

Yan Shi didn’t really understand why Wen Tianji joined the language contest when he had no interest in it. But this didn’t seem to have anything to do with her as well.

After the test, the glasses boy said they would have to split into groups, because there was only a limited amount of study materials and books that they borrowed. So they would have to share it.

Everyone began to look for a group after hearing that they would be split into groups. Yan Shi was actually a little introvert in front of strangers. When she began to take action, the others had formed their own groups.

Only her and Wen Tianji were left. Yan Shi slowly pulled her chair closer to Wen Tianji. Actually Yan Shi didn’t really want to group up with Wen Tianji since he did say that he liked her before, although she didn’t think that Wen Tianji truly liked her.

Wen Tianji turned his head to look at Yan Shi, then said to her: “Can you see it clearly from so far away.”

Yan Shi then inched closer to Wen Tianji, but there was still a fist’s distance between their arms.

Wen Tianji said nothing more. He began to read the study materials like a normal student.

The back door of the classroom was not shut tightly. A lean figure was standing there, spacing out as he looked at Yan Shi’s back.

Yan Shi indulged herself in the reading, so she leaned closer to Wen Tianji subconsciously. Wen Tianji also didn’t remind Yan Shi.

Knock knock knock–

The sudden knocking sound attracted the students’ attention. Most people looked at the direction of the sound subconsciously.

The glasses boy even waved his hand to greet him, “President, why are you here? Come in.”

Liang Ziqian pushed open the door and entered. At the same time, Yan Shi sat up subconsciously. Yan Shi didn’t look at Liang Ziqian, but she couldn’t find herself to continue reading the book on the table either.

Wen Tianji didn’t avoid meeting Liang Ziqian’s eyes. It was only a short moment before they both looked away. There didn’t seem to be anything between them, but then there seemed to be something.

Or to say, some things didn’t need to be spoken.

The rest of the people continued flipping the books to read. Liang Ziqian was talking to the glasses boy about the student council’s current affairs with a soft voice, but Yan Shi could hear each and every word so clearly.

Her ears seemed to be able to catch Liang Ziqian’s voice automatically. Yan Shi wanted to knock her head to wake herself up.

Yan Shi felt very happy and comfortable to be with Liang Ziqian in the past. Liang Ziqian would always know his limits. Everything seemed to be just right. He wouldn’t do anything to pressure her that would make her suffocate or to make her feel neglected.

During the time when she broke up with Liang Ziqian, Yan Shi thought so many times that he was nice, but he didn’t like her.

But because he didn’t like her, he could be so rational.

Cheng Yimian and Nan Fengyi who truly liked her were different from Liang Ziqian. Sometimes they would become especially childish, and they would make a long face when the other person was too close to her.

Although they were childish, Yan Shi thought that they were cute.

Because she drank a lot of water when she came, Yan Shi suddenly felt an internal urgency. She let the glasses boy know before heading to the toilet.

Soon after Yan Shi left, Liang Ziqian also gave an excuse to leave.

===

The night self-study session was still ongoing, so there was not a single person in the toilet.

Yan Shi entered a cubicle, then came out to wash her hands after finishing her business.

“Yan Shi, can you give me another chance? What I told you last time is not a joke.”

Yan Shi quickly turned off the tap. She turned her head around to see Liang Ziqian.

“But I already have someone I like.” Yan Shi said and wanted to go round Liang Ziqian. When she passed him, her wrist was grabbed.

Liang Ziqian tried to control his strength but he still couldn’t avoid hurting Yan Shi.

Yan Shi wanted to pull her hand back but Liang Ziqian was gripping her tightly, like a sturdy lock that locked her tight.

“You’re hurting me.” Yan Shi lifted her eyes tearfully to look at Liang Ziqian.

It was then that Liang Ziqian only noticed that he didn’t control his strength. He loosened a little but he still didn’t let go of Yan Shi’s hand.

Yan Shi had no choice but to stop walking as he wouldn’t let her go. Because of their height difference, she had to lift her head up to look at Liang Ziqian.

“President Liang, I want to go and read the study materials, if there’s nothing else–”

Yan Shi hadn’t finished talking yet when Liang Ziqian cut her off.

“There’s something, and it’s important.” Liang Ziqian looked deeply into Yan Shi’s eyes.

Through the thin glasses, Yan Shi saw Liang Ziqian’s pretty peach blossom eyes.

What was under those eyes? Yan Shi was afraid of the answer at that time.

“You’re so busy. There are many things that are more important than me. President Liang needs to spend so much time managing the student council, right? If I waste your time, I will feel that I’m at fault.”

Fake courtesy words continued coming out of Yan Shi’s mouth. She couldn’t even hear what she was talking about clearly.

Liang Ziqian suddenly hugged Yan Shi. The young man’s body temperature was colder than usual, but it was still broad and firm like it used to, carrying a faint tea aroma.

“I also don’t know what I should do, Yan Shi, tell me please.”
