Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Infatuated (5 more Chapters)

His chest was very hard, not just hard but also very warm. Pressed against him, even through the clothes, she could feel the heat emanating from his body.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you so hot?"

"Tsk." Jin Yu narrowed his eyes, "Can you focus on learning?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Niannian quickly acted like a good child, "Should I start now?"

"Go ahead."

Xu Niannian paused again, and Jin Yu thought she had immediately forgotten the moves. He chuckled, "Can’t remember?"

Since Jin Yu was behind her, Xu Niannian couldn’t see the smile on his face, but Xu Zhiqiang had a clear view of it.

The fondness in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Xu Zhiqiang clicked his tongue, suddenly feeling himself superfluous.

So, he obediently went to the other side of the yard to practice the horse stance.

Jin Yu appreciated his brother-in-law’s perceptive actions a lot.

Xu Niannian pouted her lips, not noticing Xu Zhiqiang leaving, only aware that when Jin Yu said she couldn’t remember, the tail of his words were rising, obviously taunting.

"Who can’t remember? I was just wondering, do I have to go through all the moves?"

Jin Yu nodded, thinking she meant whether they needed to go through all three scenarios.

He answered, "Of course." And even more so, he believed Xu Niannian had forgotten.

Hearing this, Xu Niannian took a deep breath and, following the moves Jin Yu had taught, threw her head back violently, hitting Jin Yu’s head.

Being a head taller than Xu Niannian, Jin Yu’s head wouldn’t be held erect when making the move to hold someone from behind; it would naturally lean forward.

Especially if the intention was to catch someone, he would lean even lower.

To recreate a more realistic scenario, Jin Yu did not intentionally dodge, calculating a normal person’s reaction.

Then, he heard a "clang" as the back of her skull slammed into his forehead. Jin Yu immediately winced in pain and leaned backward.

Following that, Xu Niannian used his backward motion from the hit, gained a moment of freedom with her hands, and struck hard with her elbows to his abdomen.

Jin Yu, pained, let go of her, bending backward at the waist, allowing Xu Niannian to break free, leap up, and deliver a kick aimed at his groin.

The speed was swift, the three movements executed continuously without a gap, and most crucially, the blows were not weak.

The final move was blocked by Jin Yu in the nick of time.

After being blocked, Xu Niannian laughed, "You’re cheating, didn’t you say you would bully me in the way an average man would? An average man wouldn’t have such quick reflexes."

Jin Yu, with one hand on his forehead and the other covering his abdomen, said, "Did you really want to kick it and break it?"

Rubbing his aching forehead, Jin Yu sucked in a harsh breath, "Is your head made of iron or something?"

"You are the one with the iron head," Xu Niannian teased on purpose.

Jin Yu, rubbing his abdomen, regretted taking two hits from her; her strength was quite significant, more than an average woman, and not as weak and feeble as he had imagined.

If he hadn’t protected himself at the last moment, he might have really been incapacitated by her kick.

"Not bad, you’re quite strong," he said.

"Thanks for the compliment," Xu Niannian said with a beaming smile, to which Jin Yu replied irritably, "Why weren’t you this capable when you were being bullied that day?"

Xu Niannian knew he was referring to the incident with Du Jiahao, but the problem was that at that time, she had no idea how to fight back and had even started biting.

She had some strength, but she was by no means a match for large men like Du Jiahao, okay?

"Isn’t this the technique you taught me? If I had been this capable from the start, why would I have needed you?"

Jin Yu chuckled and didn’t argue with her.

Xu Niannian remembered everything in one go, which was a surprise to Jin Yu.

Not only did she remember all the moves perfectly, but she was also incredibly fast, which he hadn’t expected at all.

After all, even though the first scenario had only three moves, it was demonstrated at the very beginning, and he had subsequently taught moves for two more scenarios.

If she had remembered just the last one, he wouldn’t have been quite as surprised.

Jin Yu then rehearsed the following two scenarios with Xu Niannian, and she remembered all the moves.

It’s just that some were not standard enough, and she still needed to work on her strength.

After all, her current skills were only good enough to deal with weak men.

If she encountered someone like Du Jiahao again at her current level, she’d still take a fall.

Afterward, Jin Yu had Xu Niannian practice many more times and found that, aside from the remarkable strength in her head, her arm strength was still quite weak.

However, he discovered that Xu Niannian’s flexibility was exceptional.

This took Jin Yu by surprise.

Martial arts should be practiced from a young age, mainly because children’s bodies are more flexible.

People who haven’t trained have stiff bones as they grow up.

"Did you ever take dance classes?" Since Xu Niannian clearly hadn’t been trained in martial arts, otherwise she wouldn’t have been bullied, Jin Yu could only think of this possibility.

Shrugging her shoulders, Xu Niannian said, "Look at the condition of my family, do I seem like I could afford to learn that? My three younger brothers haven’t even been to school."

"So you’re naturally flexible?"

The remark sounded like an insult or something a hooligan would say, but Jin Yu added, "Your body’s flexibility is very good."

Xu Niannian paused, as it seemed to be true, although she had never noticed before.

Just now, she was able to do a split.

How had she never realized?

Wait, that’s not right, she remembered that in the original host’s memories, even bending over was difficult.

How come her flexibility became so good once she transmigrated?

Could it be because of the spring water...

Yes, that must be the reason, without a doubt.

Aside from the spring water, she couldn’t think of any external factor that could have changed her body’s flexibility, especially since she hadn’t trained for it.

Should she check it out in the space tonight?

While she was pondering this, a sudden knock on her head made Xu Niannian cry out in pain, "Ow," and she hurriedly covered her forehead, "What are you doing?"

Jin Yu’s lips curved up, "I’m asking you a question. What are you thinking about?"

Xu Niannian rubbed her forehead with a pained expression, "You’re taking your revenge..."

She glanced meaningfully at his forehead.

Seeing her wrinkled face, Jin Yu asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

The deep voice resonated in her ears, and Xu Niannian inexplicably shuddered. Why was he suddenly speaking to her with such tenderness? It felt unsettling.

Before this thought settled, a finger suddenly landed on her forehead.

Long fingers gently massaged her forehead. Jin Yu’s expression was serious, as if he was dealing with some important state affair.

Xu Niannian froze. Hey there, big brother, aren’t you crossing a line?

A storm raged inside her though she maintained a calm exterior, as cool as an old dog. This was Xu Niannian.

The act of Jin Yu rubbing her forehead, combined with his handsome face and earnest expression, utterly bewitched Xu Niannian the beauty-chaser.

Her gaze fixed on him as if she wished her eyeballs could stick to his face.

In the darkness of the night sky, the moon hung high, casting light over the pitch-black world.

Under the moonlight, the two of them stood facing each other, their distance shrinking without notice.

They were so close that Jin Yu only had to tilt his head slightly to kiss Xu Niannian’s lips.

Jin Yu noticed Xu Niannian staring dumbfoundedly at him; had this been normal, she would have likely jumped far away by now.

Yet now, it was as if she didn’t even realize his closeness.

What was she looking at?

His face?

Jin Yu had to admit, his face was indeed worth a look.

To verify his guess, Jin Yu’s thin lips curved into a slight arc, his eyes lighting up with mirth.

Xu Niannian’s eyes widened even more, her lips parted tenderly, and that familiar look in her eyes was something Jin Yu had seen many times, but not from her.

That’s how those women looked at him when they were smitten.

With his guess confirmed, Jin Yu’s mood inexplicably brightened.

"Feeling better now?" he deliberately drew close, whispering in her ear.

Xu Niannian exclaimed, "Eh?" and turned her head toward the source of the sound.

Finding the perfect angle, Jin Yu leaned in, and his soft lips brushed past hers.

Jin Yu feigned shock, as if deeply surprised, and immediately straightened up and stepped back, his eyebrows puckering, "What are you doing?"

Xu Niannian had a puzzled expression, what just happened?

Why did she, inadvertently, kiss his lips again?

Seeing his frown and the look of concern on his face, Xu Niannian hurriedly explained, "I didn’t mean to."

"Be more careful next time," Jin Yu said with some displeasure, "It’s late, you should rest too. You have to be busy with the shop tomorrow."

Without waiting for Xu Niannian’s response, he walked away on his own.

Xu Niannian: "..."

Did she just space out staring at him?

Seems like it. Otherwise, how could she not have noticed his proximity?

Xu Niannian shamefully covered her face. Oh God, someone save this occasionally infatuated person!

Jin Yu probably thought she did it on purpose again.

Xu Niannian pitifully bit her finger, feeling so embarrassed.

While she agonized over the incident, little did she know that the moment someone turned around, the smile on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
