Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Just Want to Show It to Him

After New Year’s Day, life went back to normal, all day long it was just study, study, and there were no other fun things.

Yingying even brought trouble upon herself, because of that astonishing moment at the New Year’s Party, she became a sensation in the school.

Whether it was the first year or the third, everyone knew that in the second year’s humanities class five, there was a girl who, on the day of New Year’s Day, veiled her face with light gauze, her eyes and brows gentle and graceful, still fresh in their memories as she held the lute.

She was lifelike, like a young miss from ancient times, gentle and delicate.

The boys in the class all treated her as the class flower, the previous class flower was Zhou Wei, things changed just like that, so casually.

During that period, there was a popular poem in class, "Pipa Poem".

Xiao Minghui, who sat behind her, shook his head and recited with a dangling voice every day: "Still holding the lute half-hidden by her face..."

Then he ran into: "A modest maiden of grace, a gentleman’s good match."

Yingying’s performance at the New Year’s Party was only meant to be seen by that person, she never thought it would bring her so much trouble.

While eating in the cafeteria, besides Lin Lishan, Wen Tian, Du Yong, and Li Hanyi, a group of boys surrounded her.

From time to time, she could feel the spiteful glares from Zhou Wei.

Wen Tian looked up: "Don’t take it too seriously, it will pass after some time."

Lin Lishan said: "You should enjoy this moment, just look at Zhou Wei, those eyes are full of jealousy and hatred."

Yingying felt her spine being watched and shivered, shaking her head: "I’m not lucky enough to enjoy it."

On Monday, during the flag-raising ceremony, students from various years mixed together.

Before lining up, the crowd was messy, Xiao Minghui found her and confessed to her.

It wasn’t really a confession, he just brassily asked Yingying: "Be my girlfriend?"

Yingying was stunned for a moment, then dispassionately refused: "I don’t date."

Ever since she liked that person, she found herself losing interest in other boys.

Her listless heart only became flustered and lost in his presence.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Lin Lishan teased her with a smile: "I told you, you’ve become popular."

"Don’t laugh at me."

"I’m not laughing, I’m happy for you, sis."

"I think you’re just enjoying my misfortune."

Yingying rested her head on the desk and sighed.

Back then she didn’t think much, she just wanted to perform for her hero.

...

Time flew quickly, and it was almost the end of term exams and winter vacation. Yingying counted the days and realized she hadn’t seen Shen Liguang since New Year’s Day.

She still remembered, that night he had a cigarette in his mouth, deep in thought, wondering if he was thinking about that letter.

Lately, Fu Yi came home frequently, but Shen Liguang was nowhere to be seen following him.

It seemed as if he was slowly fading from her world.

Yingying absent-mindedly went downstairs and bumped into Fu Yi.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yingying rubbed her nose and shook her head: "It’s nothing."

She couldn’t help but glance behind her elder brother, but that familiar figure wasn’t there.

Fu Yi patted her head: "What are you looking at? You seem to have a lot on your mind lately."

"Big brother, you don’t understand, it’s normal for a young girl to be troubled."

Fu Yan came downstairs yawning, sat on the couch, and casually took an apple.

"Troubles? What troubles? Spill it out, and big brother will help you analyze."

"Big brother, you should stop interfering, if I spill my worries, could they still be considered worries?"

"You know about a young girl’s troubles?"

Fu Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat proud: "Of course, it’s a secret between me and my little sister."

Fu Yi looked at Yingying, his eyes somewhat longing.

Yingying, with her head down, bit into her bread, ignoring her elder brother’s yearning look.

Having one little brother know was already terrifying enough, if her elder brother found out, it would probably quickly reach their father’s ears.

By then, everyone would know she was a young girl with a springtime crush.

"That, big brother, little brother, I’ve made plans with Sister Jinyun, I’m heading out now."

Yingying nibbled her bread hastily, preparing to leave.

Fu Yi paused, called out to her: "Yingying, let your big brother take you."

...

Outside it’s very cold; even with the bright sun, it’s not enough to fend off the chill of the city.

The car heater is on. Yingying didn’t sleep well last night, leaning against the car, she feels drowsy and wants to sleep.

Her brother reminds her that they’ve arrived, and only then does she perk up.

She arranged to meet Xia Jinyun at a coffee shop.

Yingying had just sat down when Xia Jinyun, unable to contain her excitement, immediately smiles and says, "I feel like I’ve gotten one step closer to your older brother."

At that moment, Xia Jinyun’s back was turned to Fu Yi, who was carrying coffees towards them and inadvertently heard her.

Yingying gestures behind her.

Xia Jinyun turns around questioningly, sees Fu Yi behind her, and her cheeks instantly flush red.

"You, why is your brother here?"

"He gave me a ride here. Said he wanted to sit for a while, so he went to the counter to order something."

Xia Jinyun covers her face, "I had my back to the counter... I didn’t see."

Fu Yi’s face remains placid as he sets down the coffee.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving. Miss Xia, I’ll have to bother you later to look after the kid."

Xia Jinyun hastily waves her hands, still blushing, "No, it’s no trouble."

Yingying covers her mouth on the side, taking malicious pleasure in laughing.

But as she laughs, a sourness seeps into her heart.

If theirs will ultimately be a love story, what about her and Shen Liguang?

It’s been a month, hasn’t it? A month since she last saw him.

"What do you think your brother will think after hearing what you just said?"

Xia Jinyun has been troubled by this question for a long time, constantly thinking about it.

Her remarks just now could easily cause misunderstandings.

After thinking, Yingying says, "He’ll think about being with you."

"Ah?" Xia Jinyun doesn’t believe it, "Don’t tease me."

"I’m serious. Haven’t you noticed my brother is a bit different?"

Xia Jinyun half believes and half doubts, "Really?"

"Really."

Yingying and Xia Jinyun sat in the coffee shop for the entire morning.

At noon, Shen Liguang happened to pass by, seeing the girl through the glass window, talking and laughing about something interesting, her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Wu Xiaowu nudges him, "Boss, let’s go."

Shen Liguang snaps back to reality, "Mhm."

When Yingying leaves the coffee shop, Shen Liguang’s car drives past her.

Then, the two of them, one to the left, one to the right, gradually drift farther apart.

...

There’s one week left until the final exams.

They enter the review phase, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense, only a few slack students are laughing and joking around, showing no sign of exam stress.

Xiao Minghui sits behind Yingying, who is reviewing, and he keeps poking her with his pen.

"Hey, Yingying, be my girlfriend, I’m really good to my girl."

Yingying frowns, "Not interested."

"You didn’t even try with me, how can you be disinterested?"

"I’m not even interested in trying with you."

Xiao Minghui feels dejected inside.

Yingying holds her cup and goes out to get hot water to warm her hands.

Lin Lishan turns around, speaking to Xiao Minghui, "Where’s your last girlfriend?"

"We broke up."

"Really, that fast? Not even half a month?"

Xiao Minghui smiles, "About that, yeah."

Lin Lishan snorts, "Just give up, Yingying won’t be your girlfriend."

Xiao Minghui: "What you say doesn’t count."

"Then you keep trying, see if I’m right or not."
