Eighteen Degrees Part 1

Content Summary: The Two of Them Look Very Much in Love

She couldn’t entirely open her eyes, and squinted to look around: “I can’t find my phone, please call it.”

She ended up finding her phone low on battery in her bag that was on the sofa.

The clothes she washed during the day had already dried, and she took them off the hangers on the balcony and put them on the sofa. Wei Congying didn’t seem like a person who knew how to fold clothes. All his clothes and pants were readily available and could be worn after being taken straight from the balcony. Compared to that, chores like folding clothes seemed quite laborious.

The ones he admired most were the people from the housekeeping company.

Shi Yun found her underclothes in a pile of clothes that were still warm from the sun.

She didn’t care that Wei Congying was still beside her, and put them on. Standing behind her, Wei Congying put his hands under her arms and patted her waist on either side: “Should we get take-out or go out for dinner?”

They ended up ordering take-out.

Shi Yun liked eating fried eggs with the yolks on the firm side, but fried eggs weren’t her favorite.

Shi Yun struggled on tiptoe to reach for the top row of the bookshelf, but it was in vain. Her fingertips brushed against the book’s spine several times, but she still didn’t manage to bring the book down. Her arm had started to ache, so she turned around and called out to the person on the sofa: “Come and help.”

Wei Congying took off the headphones and threw them on the sofa along with the game controller, and walked towards her. He raised his hand to rest on the book she hadn’t managed to bring down, caught it with his fingertips, and the book slanted out from the neat row of books. But just as Wei Congying was about to take it out, he lowered his head and glanced to the side at Shi Yun who was looking up at him.

He squatted down slightly, put his hands around her waist, and lifted her up with one arm resting on the base of her thigh. Shi Yun’s feet were off the ground, and the instability brought on a sudden wave of fear. She stretched out her arms and subconsciously grabbed onto something. When she finally came around, she was already sitting on his arm.

He held her with one arm and took in the sight of her panicked appearance with a somewhat mischievous smile on his face, which hadn’t made its appearance for a while.

The books on the topmost shelf had all appeared in Shi Yun’s sight, and she held Wei Congying’s shoulder in fear: “What are you doing?”

The tone gave off the feeling of a survivor in the aftermath of calamity.

She was a little angry and she should have been even angrier when she saw the smile on Wei Congying’s face, but her anger didn’t continue.

Wei Congying helped her with one hand: “Take it, see what books you like, and bring them all down.”

Shi Yun was not heavy. But she still felt it would be difficult to carry a person like her in her twenties with one arm, so she reached out and took down the book that Wei Congying had half taken out previously, and patted him on the shoulder: “Okay, put me down.”

“You’re only taking one?” Wei Congying put her down.

It sounded like showing off, so Shi Yun teased him: “If you have the ability, then carry me and wait for me to finish browsing, then let me down.”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a good idea to provoke him: “Not just carrying you, even if I carry you and f*ck you, I’ll still be able to hold you till you finish browsing.”

When he spoke those vulgar and straightforward words, his face didn’t blush and his heart didn’t race, but instead, Shi Yun felt embarrassed as the listener.

Shi Yun raised her foot to kick him, but he didn’t take it seriously and didn’t get angry when kicked for nothing. Taking the book in Shi Yun’s hand, he glanced at the cover: “So you like reading poetry a lot?”

Shi Yun opened the book and skimmed through the contents: “Just looking.”

–

Starting this week, Shi Yun didn’t have classes.

She went to the clinic during the day and went to the laboratory at night.

And what was it that she was so busy will all day long? In any case, she didn’t get enough sleep, and couldn’t finish reading the documents. On that day, Shi Yuan came back from the laboratory with Shi Yun and saw her ex and another girl make it public in Moments. Shi Yuan cried a lot after returning to their dorm.

Shi Yun didn’t like her very much.

She ate from the bowl while eyeing the pot²[2] It means to not be content with what one already has..

The other two roommates of their dormitory had yet to come back. Shi Yuan lay on the table and cried for a long time. Shi Yun didn’t want to comfort her at first. The double debuff of clinic and laboratory had exhausted her, and she was not in the mood to comfort a heartbroken person.

Besides, from the very beginning, she disliked Shi Yuan’s behavior of getting together with this boyfriend immediately after dumping her ex-boyfriend. But Shi Yuan was still crying, so she couldn’t sleep.

She handed over a pack of tissues.

Shi Yuan didn’t hold back, and after pulling out a few, she blew her nose: “So in the eyes of a guy, does it mean they’ve broken up if both sides don’t contact each other for a period of time? I thought we were taking a break and calming down. But now he ended up with someone else? “

When Shi Yun heard Shi Yuan’s questioning, she didn’t make a sound, thinking that they were about the same. But for the sake of sleep, Shi Yun was thinking about how to eliminate the true thoughts in her heart, then comfort her properly.

Before she could think it through, Shi Yuan suddenly stopped crying.

“Forget it, men are not good things. F*ck dating. School already bothers me enough and now I have to add dating to that list. Bullsh*t, bullsh*t, it’s all bullsh*t.” She angrily picked up her phone and deleted his contact information.

Shi Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her ears would finally have some peace and quiet, but Shi Yuan kept repeating into Shi Yun’s ears, from the clinic during the day to the laboratory at night, that men were not reliable. And asking how Shi Yun was able to maintain her relationship with her being so busy every day and unable to meet her boyfriend.
