Chapter 28 Chapter 28 I really want to fall in love with her...
"Dating?" Ji Yan slowly repeated the three words and smiled happily. "Why do you ask that, Qi?"
As the summer heat rose, Qi Ying wore a simple black short-sleeved shirt, but she felt a little cold and protected her arms.
I couldn't figure out what Ji Yan meant by asking this question, and I couldn't figure out whether she had made a wrong judgment.
If the two of them were really just close friends, her words would only cause trouble for them.
But Ji Yan didn't show any displeasure. She tentatively tried to laugh it off and avoid the topic: "I was just kidding. I just thought you two were as close as a couple. My best friend and I are like that sometimes."
Why hasn’t Pei Shuyu come out yet?
Qi Ying felt uneasy standing there.
Ji Yan's doubtful voice sounded: "Does Qi also want to have close contact with her bestie?"
Qi Ying: "Ah?"
Ji Yan looked at her reaction, tilted her head, and answered Qi Ying's initial question innocently: "We're not talking about it."
Qi Ying: "Oh, it was my mistake..."
"But," Qi Ying's words were interrupted. Ji Yan's delicate profile shone slightly in the sunlight. She recalled her embrace with Pei Shuyu and said frankly, "I really want to date her."
Qi Ying was stunned. What did Ji Yan mean by this?
Wanting to be in a relationship means you haven't started yet?
Qi Ying's brain was overloaded.
Ji Yan had anticipated her reaction. She took out her phone and said with a smile, "I haven't added Qi as a friend yet."
The wide range of topic jumps made Qi Ying's brain, which was already on the verge of burning out, even more exhausted.
She subconsciously followed Ji Yan's advice, pulled out her phone, and added a friend. A pop-up appeared on the screen, indicating the friend had been approved. Qi Ying's rigid mind struggled to function, and she said dryly, "I've added you."
Ji Yan nodded and continued, "I want to pursue her, so I might need Qi to do me a small favor."
Qi Ying stammered, "What help?"
Ji Yan was very patient: "After all, she and I are not in the same class. Many things are inconvenient for me and I don't understand them. So, I would like to trouble classmate Qi to communicate with me when necessary."
Qi Ying: "Supervision?"
Ji Yan smiled and said, "I guess so. Over the years, after the provincial unified examination for the art class, students from the academic class can provide tutoring during the last evening self-study period to improve the academic performance of the art students."
Qi Ying knew this, of course. It was the same for every class. Most art students weren't strong in academic subjects, and under the pressure of every point, they naturally didn't want to be held back by their college entrance exam scores.
But this tutoring help is voluntary and is limited to students ranked in the top 100 of their grade.
The closer to the college entrance examination, the fewer people are willing to provide assistance.
How many people would waste their review time on someone they have only met a few times?
Qi Ying guessed what Ji Yan wanted to say.
As expected, the next second Ji Yan said, "In return, I will make a special study plan based on your grades in each subject. At the same time, I will find someone to provide one-on-one tutoring for your weak subjects."
Qi Ying's academic performance fluctuated around the passing line for art students last year.
Ji Yan said calmly, "Your last monthly art exam score ranked in the top 30 among several art classes. Based on the ratio in previous years, if you improve your academic scores, getting into a university won't be a problem."
Yuelan High School is a closed-door high school. Except for a small number of day students, the rest are boarding students. They must come to school for evening self-study, so it is extremely difficult to find a tutoring institution outside.
Qi Ying's muddled brain sorted out her thoughts as Ji Yan spoke, and the awkwardness of being alone dissipated a little. She said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any experience as a spy."
How could her friendship with Pei Shuyu, which had lasted for such a long time, be bought by such a small profit?
She refused.
Ji Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I just need Qi to tell me if anyone shows any affection towards Pei Shuyu. You don't need to tell me everything."
At the end of the field of vision, that figure appeared.
Ji Yan said softly, "I really want to pursue her."
Qi Ying also saw Pei Shuyu walking towards them and spoke faster: "You and Pei Shuyu are already like that, if you mention it, she will agree, right?"
Ji Yan: "What if he refuses?"
Before she was fully prepared, Ji Yan would not reveal her emotions to Pei Shuyu.
Qi Ying asked, "Aren't you worried that I'll tell Pei Shuyu?"
Ji Yan said lightly, "You won't. Don't you want to get close to me?" Her gaze fixed on Pei Shuyu, "After this is done, I can let you sit at the main table."
Qi Ying didn't expect Ji Yan to say such words. She rubbed her ears in disbelief and asked in surprise: "Be the main table?"
Ji Yan said "hmm".
Qi Ying confirmed again: "I'll only tell you when someone confesses their feelings to Pei Shuyu or gets close to her?"
Ji Yan said "hmm" again.
Qi Ying bit her lower lip. If she and Hua Yu knew about this kind of thing, they would deliberately mention it in front of Pei Shuyu.
It was only a matter of time before it reached Ji Yan.
Qi Ying compromised: "Okay, but I will only tell you when these two things happen."
Ji Yan raised the corner of her lips and said, "Okay. You can bring Huayu along to kowtow, just like we did in the studio that day."
Qi Ying's body trembled, and Ji Yan discovered everything?
She nodded weakly.
Seeing them chatting happily from a distance, Pei Shuyu asked curiously, "What are they talking about?"
Ji Yan said, "Nothing, just something that happened in the studio after we left." She changed the subject without leaving any trace, "Why did it take so long?"
Pei Shuyu said, "I found a spot that wasn't cleaned properly, so I washed it again with the hand soap inside."
Qi Ying found an excuse to slip away.
After the next two classes, Pei Shuyu returned to the dormitory, changed her clothes, and asked Ji Yan to go to the commercial street for dinner.
It was still early, so the two chose a shady place to while away the time.
A new indoor game hall has opened on the commercial street. There are two coin dispensers at the entrance, and a service staff member wearing a shirt with the name of the game hall is introducing it to passers-by.
Further in, the light dimmed, and light strips of various colors were embedded in the stone walls on both sides, with spots of light moving constantly.
Entering the interior, there is an archery area on the side.
Several targets were placed ten meters apart, and dolls of all sizes were placed in conspicuous places.
Pei Shuyu continued to walk inside. Someone gently pulled her clothes. Ji Yan said, "Try this."
Pei Shuyu had no objection: "Okay."
Pei Shuyu took the bow and arrow from the shop owner, put some weight on them, and handed them to Ji Yan: "It's a bit heavy, be careful not to hurt your hands."
The shop owner smiled and said, "This bow and arrow are specially made. They are not those small gadgets sold outside. Be careful when pulling the string."
Ji Yan drew his bow, tilted his body sideways, and pulled the string towards one of the targets.
Pei Shuyu leaned against the long pole blocking the way and chatted with the shop owner with a smile.
"This girl has a good figure and posture," the shop owner praised.
Pei Shuyu kept paying attention to Ji Yan. The girl had a straight posture, her arms stretched into a line, and her purple veins were bulging from exerting too much force.
The indoor light shone on her delicate profile, and her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a bit of silent coldness and imperceptible...fragility.
Ji Yan's arms were also shaking.
Pei Shuyu took two steps forward and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Ji Yan took half a step towards Pei Shuyu, expressing his need with his actions.
Pei Shuyu placed his left hand under Ji Yan's hand, holding the bow, and his right hand held Ji Yan's hand that was pulling the string, aimed at the target, and pulled back.
She gathered her strength, but surprisingly, the string was not difficult to pull.
There was no time to think, the string flew out and hit the very edge of the bull's eye.
The shop owner clapped his hands: "Almost."
An arrow was once again on the bowstring. Ji Yan was held in Pei Shuyu's arms. As they were of similar height, she could clearly feel the weight on her shoulders.
Ji Yan tilted her head slightly, her cheek pressed against Pei Shuyu's profile. Her straight body relaxed, pressing against Pei Shuyu's chest. "Is it aligned?"
She tilted her head, her lips brushing against Pei Shuyu's ear, her mixed breath sound drilling straight into the other person's ear: "Can you hit the bull's eye this time?"
A layer of itchiness appeared in the roots of his ears, but both hands were already holding the bow and arrow. Pei Shuyu resisted the urge to cover his ears: "It should be possible."
Ji Yan chuckled: "But I want the bull's eye reward."
Pei Shuyu said, "Then I'll try my best."
Another arrow was shot.
It was much better than the first arrow, but it still missed the bull's eye.
He shot five more arrows in succession, but still missed the bull's eye. The remaining three arrows were stuck alone in the quiver.
Pei Shuyu gradually found the feel for the arrow, adjusted his posture again, drew out an arrow, held his breath, and when his hand that was pulling the string loosened, the person in his arms suddenly moved.
The arrow that was originally heading straight for the bull's eye didn't even touch the target this time.
Pei Shuyu: "...Come again."
"Wait a minute," Ji Yan released the bow, ducked out of Pei Shuyu's arms, and came behind her, exchanging positions. "Let me try."
Pei Shuyu was stunned, and quickly responded, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed Pei Shuyu's waist, and then someone grabbed her long hair covering the back of her neck.
She doesn't like to tie her long hair up when she goes out. Her smooth long hair falls over one side of her shoulder, exposing the skin on the other side to the people behind her.
Ji Yan's voice came out slowly: "It will disturb my sight. I will sort it out for you later, okay?"
It was a very normal thing, but Ji Yan added a question at the end, with an upward ending tone, and the skin that was hooked began to itch.
Pei Shuyu ignored her fluctuating thoughts and said, "It's all fine. It's up to you."
The bow was raised again and the string was drawn.
The long arrow pierced through the air and struck the red center of the bull's eye in a straight line.
Pei Shuyu praised: "Wow, I got it right."
The shop owner pulled out the arrow and saw that there was still one arrow left in the quiver. He asked, "There's one left. Do you want to continue?"
Pei Shuyu certainly wouldn't give up: "Continue."
The last arrow hit the target.
Holding two white teddy bears, Pei Shuyu pinched their noses and tapped their eyes: "Your accuracy is quite good. At first I thought you couldn't draw the bow."
Ji Yan: "I didn't find the feel at first, but you helped me shoot a few arrows."
Pei Shuyu did not forget to praise himself: "So, I also have a contribution."
Ji Yan: "Yeah, yes, you have made the greatest contribution."
Pei Shuyu was amused by her compliment. She stuffed a teddy bear into Ji Yan's pocket and said, "This one looks like you."
The two little bears were almost identical. Ji Yan couldn't tell the difference and pointed at the one Pei Shuyu was holding. "What about this one?"
Pei Shuyu: "Like me."
Ji Yan: "Why?"
Pei Shuyu smiled: "I don't know, it's just a feeling. Maybe your little bear looks a little smarter."
