Chapter 64: Toast

The moment they exited the sports field, Lu Qingyan tugged up the hood of her jacket with military precision—like a ninja dodging a public scandal.

Then, as if hit by a sudden wave of enlightenment, she turned to Wang Jingyuan and reached up to tug his hoodie over his head too. "Seatmate, the sun’s way too fierce today. You might get sunburned and then blame me for ruining your future modeling career."

Wang Jingyuan gave her a side-eye, an eyebrow raised in mild amusement. "Modeling career?"

She nodded solemnly. "That bone structure? You could sell sunscreen just by walking outside."

He didn’t answer, but she heard a low, nearly indiscernible laugh. Success.

But before she could gloat internally, she felt his hands subtly shift beneath her thighs.

While she was babbling nonsense, she heard Wang Jingyuan say in a slightly admonishing tone, "Stop moving."

His palm brushed her bare skin—the kind of accidental touch that makes the air a little thicker. The callouses on his hand dragged across her thigh like a whisper that lingered too long.

Goosebumps rose immediately, but she schooled her expression and locked her arms around his neck tightly, pretending she didn’t notice the way the tips of her ears burned.

Wang Jingyuan, for his part, adjusted his grip without comment, but the light in his eyes turned darker—as if he noticed the tension but chose not to speak on it. The walk to the infirmary suddenly felt like an eternity, filled with unspoken things and shared body heat neither of them could quite ignore.

But this re-adjustment of their posture clearly caused both of their bodies to stiffen.

She had on shorts so his palm unconsciously swept across her smooth and tender thighs due to how close they were. When the thin calluses of his palm rubbed against her skin, it was a little itchy. There was also some ambiguity arising from where they touched.

It caused one to feel extra warm.

Lu Qingyan knew her place and quickly stopped moving randomly about as she clasped onto his neck tightly.

Wang Jingyuan seemed to have also noticed something as the light within his eyes darkened.

The journey felt particularly long, and it was only when they’d both arrived at the school infirmary did the atmosphere between them finally return to normal.

The school doctor prescribed Lu Qingyan with some medicine. Fortunately, there was nothing serious. The doctor only instructed her to not do any intense exercises for the next few days.

When Lu Qingyan returned to the classroom, she unexpectedly discovered that the whole class was waiting for them in their seats.

Peng Jianda stood up, "Xiao Yan, where did you two go?"

Lu Qingyan was taken aback and was just about to explain, but Peng Jianda continued, "Hurry, hurry, the class monitor has already reserved our spot."

Lu Qingyan finally came to her senses.

Previously, everyone agreed to go eat hot pot after the sports competition.

She originally thought that everyone would directly go over, so she had planned to find a random reason and politely decline on WeChat when the time comes.

But unexpectedly, they were all currently waiting for her.

When she thought to this point, Lu Qingyan couldn’t refuse, "Okay, let’s go." NovelFire

Wang Jingyuan, who stood behind her, briefly glanced at her ankle that had just been applied medicine.

He originally wanted to say something, but when he heard what she said, he decided to not say anything.

The shopping street was especially lively in the evening.

It was full of feasts and festivities, and the aroma of milk tea and barbecue swept through the entire street.

When they entered the restaurant, Special class unexpectedly ran into Class 12. It was only later that they found out that the class committee members of the two classes had simply decided to cooperate and reserve the entire restaurant.

Peng Jianda was very popular in his grade, so he was familiar with many people in Class 12.

The people in Class 12 saw him and said, "Okay, Fatty, your Special Class is really such a dog this year."

Peng Jianda smiled and said, "You guys are also very good. The match is already over, but either way, friendship comes first and competing is second!"

After he spoke, he intentionally glanced at Class 12’s people and asked in a low voice, "Lu Mingxuan and Gao Jing aren’t coming?"

Someone from Class 12 said, "Yeah, those two went to a club."

Peng Jianda was relieved.

He hadn’t forgotten the matter of how those two wanted to deceive Xiao Yan’s feelings.

Fortunately they’re not here.

Lu Qingyan’s table happened to be joined with Class 12’s table. Wang Jingyuan sat opposite of her and the moment he sat down, he stared down at his phone.

Lu Qingyan was quite bored.

She held her chin the entire time as she watched a boy from Class 12 put chili pepper covered beef into the pot.

He also said to the person beside him, "When the tender beef is put into the pot, you have to maintain the temperature. And if it’s in there a second too long, it’ll be overcooked, and undercooked if it’s a second too short.

Then this expert helped everyone at the table to put beef into the pot.

Midway through, a few students from the other classes came to join them for dinner, including Han Ming. He directly sat down beside Wang Jingyuan.

Halfway through the meal, it wasn’t known which table started playing a finger-guessing alcohol game.

The atmosphere once again became warm and friendly, and the steam from the hot pot was dissipated by the laughter.

Lu Qingyan had immersed herself in eating meat when she suddenly discovered that Peng Jianda had unexpectedly stood up.

Peng Jianda’s originally white and chubby face had become red from drinking alcohol. He hiccuped and then gave a speech, "Our class was able to win first place thanks to the outstanding service of our Xiao Yan, Brother Jing, and the rest of the athletes."

"We must toast to you."
