Thirty-Seven Degrees Part 1

Content Summary: His Older Brother Was My First Love

Shi Yun discovered that Ji Yanli was very curious about Wei Congying lately, but she didn’t want to talk too much about him.

But he was very curious.

He was curious about why they broke up. When he learned that it was Shi Yun who took the initiative to propose their breakup, he was curious why Shi Yun gave up a boy like that and instead lowered the bar and fell for him.

Shi Yun told him not to belittle himself, and that he was very good.

But Ji Yanli was just curious.

It was not until Shi Yun really got angry with him one time that he finally stopped asking questions.

But not asking questions only brought Ji Yanli a greater sense of insecurity.

On New Year’s Day, Shi Yun was preparing to go back to visit her grandparents, and happened to meet He Sui, who was bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents. It was a good thing, but Shi Yun had to listen to nagging.

Grandma had no choice but stop at sending her to the gate of the yard. With her hand on the old wooden door, she did not forget to remind Shi Yun to bring her boyfriend back during the New Year.

As she said this, the door to the opposite yard happened to open. It was He Sui and his girlfriend who were about to go back.

He Sui called out “Grandma”, and then his girlfriend cleverly followed suit and called out “Grandma” as well.

After greeting her, He Sui heard what Shi Yun’s grandmother said, and half-jokingly asked Shi Yun: “Oh, you’re finally dating?”

Shi Yun said goodbye to her grandmother, and didn’t give him any face despite his girlfriend’s presence beside him. She glanced at him and didn’t bother to pay attention to him.

He Sui didn’t mind, and said in a mature manner: “You are not young anymore, it is indeed time to find a partner.”

Then, he deliberately revealed to Shi Yun’s grandmother with a vengeful look in his eyes: “Grandma, you probably don’t know yet, Chu Yue, who lives at the entrance of the alley is also dating.”

They were all around the same age.

After grandma found out about Chu Yue’s love affair, Shi Yun could feel the huge amount of anxiety that suddenly appeared in her grandma’s heart.

Good god, it turns out he did it on purpose.

Shi Yun felt like the New Year would not be a good one if she didn’t bring her boyfriend home.

The culprit was now happily walking beside her while holding his girlfriend’s hand, smiling in a nasty way.

After He Sui caused her trouble, he felt a little guilty and offered to send her back to school.

On the way, Shi Yun introduced herself to his girlfriend.

“When you have time, bring your boyfriend and we can have a meal together.” He Sui followed the navigation and drove towards Shi Yun’s dormitory. He kept an eye on the road conditions while talking to them distractedly.

Shi Yun refused: “Why should I eat with you?”

He Sui: “I’ll check him out for you.”

Shi Yun mocked him: “With that let’s-all-come-and-nitpick-look in your eyes that even a novice could see, forget about it.”

–

After parting ways with He Sui and his girlfriend that day, Shi Yun’s daily routine didn’t change much.

The library, laboratory and dormitory were all along the same route.

Ji Yanli came to see her several times, and the two of them sat in the library to study together.

Shi Yun was busy with her thesis and he had been preparing for interviews recently. He wanted to stay in the capital and had a company in mind before graduation.

Shi Yun casually asked about the company he was going to interview with. When she heard the company’s name, she was surprised and told him to do his best.

Ji Yanli also encouraged her: “But I heard that the planning department I want to interview will not recruit interns this year. I will give it a try when the time comes.”

The air conditioning in the library was on high. But Shi Yun was sweating like crazy even though she was wearing a sweater. The cup of iced water from her thermos was already empty.

Ji Yanli folded a small fan out of draft paper to fan her, and seeing that she was still hot, he ran to the coffee shop downstairs to buy her a cup of coffee.

Shi Yun took it and touched the drink. It was not iced, but at room temperature.

Ji Yanli picked up the small fan on the table and continued to fan her: “In winter, even if it’s hot, don’t have too many iced drinks.”

His words and actions caused Shi Yun to stare into his eyes for a long time.

Ji Yanli embarrassedly patted her head with a small paper fan, reminding her to continue working on her paper.

When she was halfway through writing, the computer broke down again. It had the same problem as last time. She didn’t expect that it would still have the same problem after sending it for repair.

Ji Yanli moved the computer in front of him. Seeing that he was doing fine, Shi Yun left for the restroom midway through.

When she was about to leave, her phone vibrated. It was He Sui.

[He Sui]: I recently got a coupon for a hot pot restaurant for four people.

[He Sui]: Bring your boyfriend, I’ll bring my girlfriend, and let’s eat hotpot together. It’s my treat.

Shi Yun looked at his message and walked towards the bathroom with her phone.

[Shi Yun]: No.

[He Sui]: Why don’t you come? I’ll help you check him out. The coupon is about to expire. See you next Wednesday.

Then he sent the location of the hot pot restaurant to Shi Yun.

Shi Yun neither agreed nor replied to his last message.

If Ji Yanli hadn’t come today, Shi Yun would have planned to eat something casually, but he had taken a break just to come see her, and since she had been in the library all day, it would have been embarrassing to have a perfunctory dinner.

The two of them went to the nearby shopping mall and had barbecue.

Shi Yun used tongs to turn the barbecue on the grid, but before long, the tongs in her hand changed hands.

Ji Yanli turned the remaining pieces of meat over one by one and put the roasted meat into Shi Yun’s barbecue plate first.

Shi Yun wrapped the meat with lettuce, dipped it in barbecue sauce and ate it in bites.

The guy who was grilling meat across from her suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”

Shi Yun was suspicious.

He continued, “When I was helping you with your computer, I saw the messages your friends sent you because you hadn’t logged out of WeChat.”

Shi Yun realized that he was probably talking about He Sui.

Ji Yanli passed the meat to her: “Why don’t you take me with you? Is it because I’m not good enough?”

Shi Yun stopped chewing and looked at the person opposite her, whose face’s upper half was very similar to that person’s. She knew what the consequences would be if she took him to see He Sui. Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.

It was a push notification from news software.

“…On January 17, the leader of the human trafficking organization that once shocked the world, ‘Wu Tai’, will be executed on April 30 this year, with the second trial result unchanged. It is reported that after Wu Tai was arrested in Kokang, Myanmar three years ago…”
