Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Shu Yao really didn't want to agree at first. She thought of those parents on video websites who were furious while helping their children with homework.
If she taught him seriously, he could have written an answer like soul poisoning. She was afraid that her blood pressure would rise at such a young age.
Chen Ye held the tissue that he had just used to wipe the corner of her mouth in his hand and expressed his understanding: "Okay, it's just that poor little biscuit hasn't seen you this week, and the whole person...even the dog is listless."
Shu Yao: “…”
He sighed: "It's nothing, maybe he'll get used to it in a few weeks. He's a stray dog anyway, so he should be used to being alone."
Shu Yao: “…”
Shu Yao's heart began to waver.
In fact, both reason and emotion tell her that this is probably the best choice for her at the moment.
She can make money while reviewing, play with Little Biscuit, and also... help him improve his Chinese grades.
Otherwise, it would be a pity that his performance in other subjects is so good but he is dragged down by Chinese.
Thinking of this, Shu Yao softened his heart.
"Okay then." She asked gently, "Where do we make up for it?"
Shen Ye thought for a moment: “Find a coffee shop?”
Shu Yao shook his head: "I'm afraid that if I meet my classmates and spread the news, it will eventually reach Teacher Wang's ears."
After all, she had just promised in front of Teacher Wang to cut off contact with Chen Ye. If there was any more trouble, she believed that Teacher Wang would really contact the parents, which would be even more difficult to deal with.
"So where do you think it would be appropriate?"
Shu Yao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is anyone at your house... on Saturday?"
“No one.” Shen Ye cleared his throat, “But are you sure?”
"Yeah." Shu Yao calmly drank the last bit of milk and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I won't have any bad intentions towards you."
"What if I can?"
Shu Yao raised her eyes faintly: "Then I will poison the water you drink, so that more than just your soul will be poisoned."
Shen Ye was amused by her serious tone.
I had originally written down the answer because I thought it had too many words. I felt like she would remember it until she was eighty years old and then look it up and laugh at him again.
"Okay, I don't dare." He turned his head to look at the clock on the wall and ruffled her fluffy hair. "It's getting late, let's go back."
Shu Yao stood up with him, put the biscuits in her arms on the ground, held the leash in one hand, and patted the top of her head with the other, puzzled: "Why do you always like to touch my head?"
Chen Ye's reason was simple and crude: "Because it feels good to touch."
“…” Shu Yao curled his lips and said nothing more.
The weather in early autumn was a little chilly late at night. The two of them walked slowly along the road. The leash was held in Shu Yao's hand, and Little Biscuit followed them closely, looking very well-behaved.
Under the dim street lights, two shadows, one tall and one short, were infinitely stretched.
Time passed quickly as they chatted idly. Shu Yao raised his hand and pointed to the gate of the residential complex not far away: "I'm here."
Shen Ye stopped and didn't go forward to see her off, but when she waved goodbye, he asked again: "Are you still not happy now?"
Shu Yao raised his right hand in the air, then retracted it and let it hang at his side, clutching the hem of his coat.
The period of time just now seemed like it was stolen by Shu Yao. Now that she was back to reality, the worry of failing the exam came to her mind again, but strangely, she felt her heart was clear.
Her amber pupils turned inadvertently, and she sighed silently: "One more thing."
Shen Ye asked: "A little?"
"Yeah." Shu Yao's eyes were gentle and full of expectation. "If you let me touch your head, that little bit should be gone."
Shen Ye laughed: "Waiting here?"
Shu Yao was just joking, and she wouldn't care if he didn't let her. However, she didn't expect that after Shen Ye said this, he suddenly took a half step back, supported his knees with his hands, and bent down his waist.
"Touch it." He lowered his head and said lazily, "You can touch it as you like."
His hair was much harder than hers.
Shu Yao placed his right hand on the top of his head and rubbed it gently, feeling a little itchy on his palm from the rubbing of his hair.
She clenched her fist, withdrew her hand, and put it in the pocket of her thin coat.
"alright?"
"Is this enough?" Chen Ye raised his head with a teasing smile on his face, "Don't you have any thoughts on it?"
"It's... quite hard." Shu Yao blurted out, then realized how misleading this statement was, so he pretended to be calm and added: "Your hair is quite hard."
"Oh." Chen Ye nodded seriously and moved forward. His dark pupils were like a whirlpool under the streetlight, tempting people to fall in love with him. "How about touching other places?"
Shu Yao's heart was wavering, and she was hooked. She stretched out a finger and poked his face. The slightly cool fingertips felt the heat of his cheek.
Shen Ye lowered his voice, but there was an unconcealable smile in his voice: "What about here? Is it hard too?"
Shu Yao said, "It's quite thick."
Shen Ye: "..."
Before he could fully react, Shu Yao ran away, not forgetting to look back at him halfway.
He stood where he was, rubbed the place where she had poked him with the tip of his index finger, then raised his right hand, closed one eye, and made a shooting gesture at her.
Shu Yao didn't take his threat seriously and stuck out her tongue lightly in provocation.
When I got home, my uncle and aunt had not come back yet. The living room was pitch black, and only the moonlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the living room floor, gentle and peaceful.
Shu Yao's palms seemed to still be hot. She looked down and walked briskly back to the room.
After taking a shower, Shu Yao lifted the quilt and sat on the head of the bed, habitually holding the stuffed puppy on the bedside in his arms.
"Woof woof."
The same sound, when she heard it at the sports meeting, she just thought it was funny, but now, she felt a strange throbbing in her heart, like a taut string that was gently plucked, causing waves of aftermath.
"Woof woof."
"Woof woof."
"Woof woof."
She moved her body down, lying on her side and staring at the puppy, her right hand unconsciously pressing the puppy's belly, over and over again.
Until suddenly I heard the conversation between my uncle and aunt outside the door.
"Where's that barking sound?"
"That's the Zhang family next door. They're still quiet in the middle of the night. They must be in heat."
Shu Yao: “…”
A week later on Saturday, Shu Yao visited Shen Ye's house for the first time.
It was only when Shu Yao arrived that he found out that in order to make it easier for him to go to school, Chen Ye did not live with his family, but rented a house in a community not far from the school.
The design of one elevator per household provides strong privacy.
Shu Yao stood at the door and rang the doorbell. Chen Ye quickly came to open the door, but instead of giving way, he stepped directly over the threshold.
He turned around and pressed a few times on the fingerprint lock: "Enter your fingerprint."
"Ah?" Shu Yao was stunned. "Isn't this a bad idea? Aren't you afraid that I'll empty your house while no one's home?"
Shen Ye reached out and grabbed her wrist, pressing her index finger on the fingerprint plate while answering nonchalantly: "You can come and move it even if I'm here."
With a "beep", the fingerprint is entered successfully.
He raised his eyes and smiled, "Move with me too."
Shu Yao: “…”
She was right that day, this guy is really thick-skinned.
Shu Yao ignored him and walked in. She found a pair of brand new beige women's slippers in front of the shoe cabinet.
"Is this for me?"
"No." Chen Ye said, "Xu Zhaoli likes to wear women's clothes. It's a special hobby."
Don't believe him.
Shu Yao put on slippers and looked around. The house had two bedrooms and a living room, and the decoration was very simple. The living room with gray and white tones was empty except for the sofa, coffee table, and a huge TV opposite.
Shu Yao put his schoolbag on the sofa and saw a box of playing cards on the coffee table.
The yellow cartoon packaging box is out of tune with the cold atmosphere of the living room.
When she picked it up, she realized it wasn't a deck of cards, but a board game where you had to connect words to form sentences.
Perhaps seeing her curiosity, Shen Ye squatted beside the coffee table, sorting the test papers while explaining: "The last time Xu Zhaoli and the others came, I bought it at the convenience store and threw it here after playing with it."
"How do you play this?" Shu Yao asked curiously.
Shen Ye looked up at the time and opened the cards: "I'll play a game with you."
Seeing him sitting on the carpet on the other side of the coffee table, Shu Yao slowly moved down from the sofa.
Chen Ye shuffled the cards skillfully and explained simply: "Each person starts with eight cards, then discards one and draws another. If the cards you discard don't form a complete sentence, you lose."
Shu Yao nodded and grabbed the eight cards he handed to her, her expression more serious than when she was taking an exam.
Orange, participate, keyboard, really good, like, really want, ugly, right.
What are these?
Shen Ye said: "You can choose any one."
Shu Yao thought about it and finally picked one that he liked.
Because she felt that no matter what Chen Ye did, she could at least follow up with a [Ma].
Shen Ye raised his eyes to look at her, put his index finger on a card and pushed it to the middle.
【Like】【me】.
Shu Yao was stunned for a moment, hiding his wandering thoughts, and touched a card, only to find it was [No].
Shu Yao changed his plan and added "not" in front.
However, Chen Ye seemed to have the same idea as her and added the word "吗" at the end.
Don’t you like me?
Their eyes met, Shu Yao clutched the cards, his heart pounding like a deer, but he remained calm on the surface.
She silently stuffed one behind the word "I".
Don't you like that I'm ugly?
Shen Ye: "..."
The slightly ambiguous atmosphere disappeared, and Chen Ye also stuffed a picture in the middle: [Don’t you like my brother’s ugliness? ]
Shu Yao couldn't help laughing and continued to speak——
[Don't you like my brother's ugliness? That's great.]
[Don’t you like my brother’s ugliness? That’s great, me too.]
Shu Yao looked at the cards in his hand, none of which were usable, and had no choice but to admit defeat.
If her phone hadn't been confiscated, she would have taken a picture and sent it to Xu Zhaoli, letting him see how many times Chen Ye had ruthlessly stabbed his brothers in order to win a game.
"I got it." Shu Yao started shuffling the cards, unyielding. "Let's play another round."
Shen Ye supported his chin and waited lazily.
In the second round, Shu Yao played first.
Shu Yao: [University]
Chen Ye: [A University]
Shu Yao: [Apply to a university]
Chen Ye's eyes fell on the cards in front of him. He hadn't played them for a long time. Shu Yao was surprised: "You're out of cards now?"
Only then did Shen Ye slowly push the cards to the middle of the coffee table.
【Is it okay to apply to a university? 】
When Shu Yao saw the words "take the entrance exam to any university", she didn't think much about it. In her mind, the meaning of this sentence was more like: take the entrance exam to any university.
But adding the last two words, it has more of a meaning of "applying to the same university".
Shu Yao pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and finally added two words.
【Can we get into a university? 】
Shen Ye's bony right index finger separated "we" and "okay" and inserted one.
Shu Yao looked down and his ears turned red.
[Can we date if we get into the same university? ]
She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how he could play a childish game like this.
Dance, turn off, orange...
Shu Yao's gaze moved among the eight cards and found that only the word "good" could be inserted among them.
Can we date if I can get you into a good university?
Very smooth.
Holding the cards with two fingers, her right hand stretched out between "one" and "university", but just as it was about to touch the table, Shu Yao met his passionate and frank gaze.
His heart suddenly started beating violently, and Shu Yao's fingertips felt numb. After hesitating for two seconds, his right hand inexplicably changed direction.
The word "good" was placed at the end.
[Can we date if we get into the same university? ]
【good. 】
Shen Ye closed the cards in his hand, threw them into the middle, supported his hands behind his back, and smiled nonchalantly.
“I lost.
I didn't make this board game up, it really exists, but the words in it are all made up by me...
