Chapter 51: Deepen the Kiss

Pei Shuyu was completely unaware of the changes around her. She was overwhelmed by the joy of getting third place in the provincial ranking. She asked her class teacher for her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Ruan Zhuangjing.

Then return the phone.

She did not take the provincial unified examination, but this result is a recognition of her past efforts.

Her confidence grew.

Pei Shuyu's cheeks flushed slightly with excitement. Although she felt disappointed when she saw the rankings, the competition for high scores in art was due to many factors, and slight differences in scores were inevitable.

The students of Class 10 who were crowded outside the office door felt the teachers' joy and their inner anxiety was slightly relieved. Then a few more students came in to check their scores.

Without exception, those who dare to come to check their scores are all good at drawing on a daily basis.

The results were as expected. The provincial examination scores were enough to get into a good university. Of course, the academic performance could not be a hindrance.

"Not bad, not bad. The scores are quite high." Several art class teachers gathered together and discussed with a smile.

"Oh, three of the top 50 in the province have already appeared. I wonder how many more there are."

"I feel good this year. Those promising students in your class haven't come to check their scores yet, right?"

"Who knows if someone has hidden a phone? Maybe they checked their scores on their own."

"Then let's wait for the statistics later. It won't hurt to wait for a while."

“…”

The computer desks of several art teachers in the office were crowded with students checking their scores.

Some were happy and some were sad. Those who did not do well in the exam walked out of the office dejectedly, avoiding other people's happiness.

Pei Shuyu let out a long sigh, leaned leisurely on the desk, and looked sideways at Qi Ying and Hua Yu checking their scores.

Both of them scored above 280 points.

Pei Shuyu hooked Ji Yan's pinky finger, tapped the back of her hand with his index finger, and placed his other arm on her shoulder. He said lazily, "It's over. Just waiting for the school exam."

Ji Yan tilted her head: "When is the school exam?"

Pei Shuyu said, "The earliest we can do that is next semester."

Winter vacation is coming soon, and major art schools have not yet announced the school entrance examination. We can only wait until next semester. In previous years, school entrance examinations were concentrated in February and March.

There is still a long preparation time.

Ji Yan said "hmm" and glanced inadvertently in the direction of Chen Ye, only to see that he was looking at the two of them. When their eyes were about to meet, Chen Ye turned around and talked to the student who was checking the scores.

Pei Shuyu asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"

Ji Yan withdrew her gaze, the palpitations she had just felt passing away. She shook her head slightly, thinking it must have been an illusion: "It's okay."

Pei Shuyu: "Let's go, don't crowd here." She stretched and pushed Ji Yan out. "Go back and think carefully about what to reward me. I'm ranked third in the province."

She kept talking: "I want to know how many points the first and second place got."

Ji Yan asked, "You both ranked first in sketching and color, so your sketching is lagging behind?"

Pei Shuyu: "I don't know, my sketching scores have never been very high."

The same was true for the first three mock exams. Color and sketching firmly occupied the top two spots, but there was no mention of quick sketching at all.

Qi Ying, who had come out with them, heard this and widened her eyes before asking, "How many points did you get for your sketch?"

Pei Shuyu: "68."

She paused and said, "The worst sketch was assigned to the provincial unified examination."

Qi Ying and Hua Yu looked at each other silently.

68 points and still lagging behind, then what are they.

The two of them didn't want to talk to Pei Shuyu.

When they returned to the classroom, more students who had not checked their scores gathered around and asked about their grades.

Pei Shuyu reported his score and said nothing else.

If she talks too much, others might think she is being Versailles and talk behind her back.

After saying this, there was a series of exclamations.

"Provincial No. 3, so impressive."

"I'm so envious. Even if you remove one subject, the score would still be higher than my total score."

"If you take away the score for sketching, that's still 280 points. Pretty high..."

"Is there anyone who hasn't handed in their phone? Please lend it to me so I can check my scores. I'm afraid to go to the office."

"The class next door should have it. Go borrow it. Don't get caught."

“…”

Hua Yu and Qi Ying also tacitly remained silent.

There were cheers in the classroom, and naturally there were also restrained cries.

Two extremes are playing out.

Pei Shuyu pressed Ji Yan onto her seat, then sat on her legs and wrapped Ji Yan's arms around her waist.

She leaned her upper body back, pressed against Ji Yan's chest, and said, "Have you thought of a reward for me?"

Ji Yan was helpless: "It's only been a short time since I left the office, how could I have thought of this so quickly?"

Pei Shuyu was unconvinced: "Then you didn't prepare in advance?"

Didn’t Ji Yan make any guesses or prepare any rewards for her before the scores came out?

This realization made Pei Shuyu unhappy.

Very unhappy.

Pei Shuyu groaned, "Ji Yan, you're going too far."

Ji Yan hugged the person on her lap tighter, clasping Pei Shuyu's arms with her slender fingers and placing them in front of her abdomen. She whispered, "Of course there's a reward, but it's not convenient here..."

She knew what kind of reward Pei Shuyu wanted, but if she openly offered it here, half of the grade would probably know about it in a few minutes.

Pei Shuyu understood and moved his body slightly, saying vaguely, "Okay, then I'll go to your dormitory tonight, or you can sleep in mine?"

She said softly, "Same as before."

Pei Shuyu originally didn't plan to install bed curtains, but sometimes the lights in the dormitory were too bright and kept her awake, so she installed them.

I didn't expect it to have other uses nowadays.

Ji Yan: "Yeah, okay."

Considering that art students may feel happy or sad after checking their scores, the teachers who gave lectures today were all talking about their grades.

Students who did well in the exam should not be proud, because there is still the college entrance examination waiting for them. Students who did not do well in the exam should not be discouraged, because there is still the school exam waiting for them. If not, they should work harder in the next semester to improve their academic performance.

After all, most art students do not perform very well in academic subjects.

Pei Shuyu, the third in the province, was naturally mentioned over and over again.

Not only art classes, but also cultural classes can be heard.

Chen Ye clenched his fists and placed them on the podium: "The results of the provincial exam are out today. You should all know."

"Right now, you should focus on your studies. You're still too young to talk about love and romance. You'll have plenty of time to discuss it later. There's no need to rush."

She picked up a new piece of chalk, broke off a small piece at the front and threw it back, hitting a boy in the back row directly: "Especially those in my class, if they were caught in a relationship, it would be a slap in my face."

The boy she hit was caught having a relationship with a student from the next class not long ago. They both went home and reflected on their relationship for a week.

Chen Ye: "Do you understand?"

The following people responded in unison: "Got it."

Ji Yan's tongue slid across the tips of his teeth, and the illusion of being pierced surged out again.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Chen Ye said these words, his eyes swept over her intentionally or unintentionally.

Ji Yan pressed the pen cap with the tip of his thumb, and a layer of white appeared on the front of his knuckle.

Chen also began to lecture: "Okay, back to the topic, class."

＊

Pei Shuyu finished her shower and, still damp, looked at the man who was sitting on her bed, distracted, with a small light on.

She knelt on one knee on the bed, the curtains hanging down softly on her back, making her whole body in semi-darkness.

Pei Shuyu wiggled her fingers: "What's wrong? I saw you were absent-minded when I came back from evening study. You can't be stuck on some questions, right?"

Ji Yan came back to her senses, but before she could retract the worry in her eyes, she was caught. Pei Shuyu's smile faded and she sat down on the bedside: "What happened?"

The first thing she thought of was Uncle Ji Yan's family, and her face darkened: "Are they causing trouble for you again?"

Ji Yan's cell phone has also been handed in. It is impossible for Ji Yan's uncle to come to the school to cause trouble for Ji Yan, so it can only be Ji Yao.

Pei Shuyu gritted her teeth and asked, "Did that idiot Ji Yao tell you something?"

At this stage, you still dare to disturb Ji Yan's studies. Pei Shuyu clenched his fists, as if he was going to teach Ji Yao a lesson as soon as Ji Yan nodded.

"No," Ji Yan denied, "They didn't bother me."

Ji Yao had the upper hand over her and didn't dare to do anything to her.

When she was doing homework during evening self-study, she would always think of what Chen Ye said in class.

Was it meant for her to hear?

Ji Yan was not sure, but at least Chen had not yet obtained any evidence to prove that her relationship with Pei Shuyu was abnormal.

She didn't intend to let Pei Shuyu know, so as to avoid him thinking too much and worrying about implicating her.

Ji Yan hugged Pei Shuyu, rubbed his forehead against her cheek, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Come in."

Pei Shuyu obediently got on the bed.

The curtains were drawn, separating this place from the outside world.

Ji Yan held Pei Shuyu's face in her hands, her bright features adorned with obvious concern.

The corners of her lips curved down as she stared into those bright eyes, and the worries that had been pent up for half a day disappeared.

It doesn’t matter. Even if I get discovered, the worst that can happen is I’ll just have to write a self-criticism and stay home for a few days.

As for the chain reaction, whether Ruan Zhuangjing would know about it, she couldn't control it. She could only comfort herself that she would have to get past Ruan Zhuangjing sooner or later.

Ji Yan slowly and slowly grasped the back of Pei Shuyu's head, and with his other hand, he circled the latter's neck and led her towards her.

The breathy sound brushed across the sensitive skin, bringing a nerve-wracking tingling sensation.

Pei Shuyu's throat rolled unconsciously, he closed his eyes, and looked sideways.

The hand clasped behind her head suddenly pressed her down, and the person in front of her stepped back, bringing a slight cool breeze.

The imagined kiss did not come. Pei Shuyu opened her eyes blankly, and her expression full of grievance made Ji Yan's heart soften.

She stroked the long hair of the person opposite her and coaxed, "Don't be anxious."

Pei Shuyu's voice fell silent: "It's the reward we agreed on."

Ji Yan smiled: "I know." She moved her palm to cover the eyes of the aggrieved man and murmured, "I'll give it to you now."

She leaned over, holding the softer lips in her mouth, tracing the outline of the lips with the tip of her tongue, and tentatively entering through the lips step by step.

Deeply, with irresistible power, Pei Shuyu's eyelashes kept blinking. At a certain moment, she took the dominant position, hugged Ji Yan, fell down together, and deepened the kiss.
