Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Is any punishment acceptable?
After Sunday evening self-study, Pei Shuyu hadn't spoken to Ji Yan for two days. The message she sent to Ji Yan fell into the sea and there was no reply at all.
After class, she went to Class 1 to block Ji Yan, but Ji Yan didn't come out. If she wanted to go in, the class monitor would refuse her entry on the grounds that non-class students could not enter at will.
I could enter before.
Pei Shuyu knew that Ji Yan had a good relationship with the monitor of Class 1, and that the other party's actions were most likely instructed by Ji Yan.
But Pei Shuyu was in the wrong and put the blame on Ji Yan without any reason.
Not only did Ji Yan not accept Cui Qi's advice, she also took great pains to select suitable questions for her to consolidate her knowledge based on the test paper she had done on Saturday.
The scene of Ji Yan's face cold as he threw the notebook full of questions into her arms and left without looking back was still vivid in Pei Shuyu's mind. She wanted to slap herself twice.
She really doesn't know how to appreciate a good person.
Thinking of this, Pei Shuyu felt guilty and even more annoyed, and banged his forehead heavily on the edge of the table.
"What's wrong? Are you withdrawn?" Hua Yu nudged her shoulder. "Don't withdraw yet. Copy the math test paper for me."
Pei Shuyu said weakly: "I just wrote it randomly."
Hua Yu smiled slightly: "I will copy even if it's random."
I'll just get through the homework in the next class with my class teacher. Besides, Pei Shuyu has Ji Yan's tutoring, so she'll be able to do it no matter what.
Pei Shuyu pulled out the crumpled paper from the hole in the table. Hua Yu hurriedly took it and copied it quickly with a water-based pen.
She circled a few numbers on the questions, showing signs of serious thinking.
In just two minutes, after copying the multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and the first big question, Hua Yu put the paper back and said, "With my ability, this is enough. If I do more, my class sister will be suspicious."
Pei Shuyu was still thinking about how to coax his little childhood sweetheart.
This afternoon was the second physical education class. She remembered that Class 1 had the same physical education class as theirs on Wednesday.
Pei Shuyu endured the afternoon physical education class. When the bell rang, she took a step forward, ready to wait for the teacher to leave.
"Wait a minute, five more minutes." The teacher at the podium was unmoved and habitually dragged on the class.
Pei Shuyu's half-raised body was forcefully pressed down.
The teacher closed the book reluctantly until the bell for the next class was about to ring.
Ji Yan should not be in the classroom now, so Pei Shuyu went straight to the playground.
Class one gathered at the east side of the playground, and class ten gathered in the center of the playground. The two classes were not far from each other.
Pei Shuyu had good eyesight. After looking around several times, he found the familiar figure in the fixed seat in the class.
"At ease, stand at attention." The physical education teacher blew the whistle. "Boys, three laps, girls, two laps, but run."
"Teacher, can you please not run?"
"You guys in front run slower, you can never keep up."
Pei Shuyu's attention was all on the class behind her. Unlike her class, class one was not dawdling and had already started running.
Pei Shuyu deliberately slowed down and waited for the first team to catch up with her.
Not long after, the class, maintaining a strict formation, passed by her. Pei Shuyu switched positions with the people around her, moving closer to Ji Yan.
"Ji Yan." Pei Shuyu called out softly when Ji Yan was parallel to her.
Ji Yan did not look around and maintained his original pace at a steady pace.
Pei Shuyu was not discouraged: "Ji Yan, classmate Ji, good Yan Yan, please pay attention to me~"
Ji Yan raised her chin slightly and ignored her.
"How disgusting." Qi Ying pointed out bluntly, "If I were Ji Yan, I'd get goosebumps all over my body."
She sought Ji Yan's opinion: "Right, Ji Yan."
Ji Yan was always gentle and polite towards outsiders, she just said "hmm" lightly.
Qi Ying laughed even louder: "Hahaha, I knew it."
Pei Shuyu ignored Qi Ying's ridicule. As long as Ji Yan was willing to pay attention to her, she would strike while the iron was hot: "No, Ji Yan, hurry up and say no."
Ji Yan fell silent again.
Pei Shuyu: "Ji Yanyan~"
Ji Yan quickened his pace, passing several people in a row and widening the gap between him and Pei Shuyu.
Qi Ying finally understood: "What happened between you and Ji Yan?"
Pei Shuyu swallowed the bitter water in her stomach and said, "Nothing."
She quickly caught up with Ji Yan and continued to coax her, but her physical condition could not last more than two laps. Running and talking at the same time consumed a lot of her energy. By the end of her speech, her voice was hoarse.
The throat felt like blood, thick with the smell of rust. The two teams scattered in disarray. Pei Shuyu clamped his hand over his throat and said, "Yanyan, I was wrong. I got angry. I didn't understand the situation clearly. I apologize."
Ji Yan's fair face was slightly flushed. Her breathing was even and her steps were consistent. Pei Shuyu was led by her, and his pace increased, and his heart rate also increased.
The wind was blowing straight into her throat. Pei Shuyu said pitifully, "Yanyan, you've ignored me for two days. Are you going to continue ignoring me today? I've finished the homework you gave me, and you didn't even help me check it."
She squeezed her eyes hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears: "You don't know, I'm so pitiful, I can't eat or sleep well, please pay attention to me."
"Yanyan, you can punish me however you want, just don't ignore me."
"Ji Yan, classmate Ji~"
Ji Yan finally turned her head and said with a half-smile: "How can I punish you?"
Pei Shuyu's eyes lit up: "Yes, any punishment is fine."
As long as Ji Yan is willing to talk to her and forgive her, she can accept any punishment.
Ji Yan's punishment was just to ask her to do more exercises and memorize more books, which she could accept.
Since Class 1 started earlier than Class 10, Ji Yan reached the finish line earlier than Pei Shuyu. The physical education teacher did not tell them to disband, and they still needed to organize the team.
Ji Yan said softly: "Come to me after the group is dismissed."
Pei Shuyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
The squad leader who witnessed all this whispered, "Are you reconciled?"
Ji Yan shook her head slightly.
Monitor: "Will you stop her from entering our class in the future?"
Ji Yan paused and shook his head again.
The squad leader was at a loss for words: "I feel like I'm no longer a human being."
Ji Yan said seriously: "You are a human."
Monitor: "...Thank you for calling me a human being."
After the group was dismissed, Pei Shuyu said something to a few people he was on good terms with, and happily went to Class 1.
Qi Ying and others despised her for abandoning her friend, but they were used to Pei Shuyu going to find Ji Yan during physical education class every Wednesday.
After making a few polite jokes, he let her go.
Ji Yan was waiting for her in front of the green net surrounding the playground.
The girl lowered her head, kicked pebbles under her feet, and her blue and white school uniform made her look even more youthful after exercising.
Ji Yan hooked her fingers behind her back on the gap in the net, and after the footsteps stopped, she kicked the pebble away completely.
Pei Shuyu licked her lip and carefully squeezed in front of Ji Yan. Their shadows overlapped, as if they were hugging each other. This scene gave Pei Shuyu room for imagination and suppressed her nervousness.
"Ji Yan?"
"Um."
Still angry, Pei Shuyu could hear Ji Yan's emotions from her single tone.
She took a deep breath, her straight body slumped, her upper body leaned forward, closer to Ji Yan, and tried to find a topic: "What do you want to punish me for?"
Ji Yan's skin was very thin, with a faint blood color, which was the most pleasing to look at in all the paintings Pei Shuyu had made over the years.
Being so close, her attention was completely focused on Ji Yan's facial features and micro-expressions. She could even see the tiny hairs on Ji Yan's face.
The long and curled eyelashes fluttered with breathing, creating a light shadow on the lower eyelid.
Pei Shuyu almost reached out to touch the other person's eyes.
Ji Yan raised her eyes and, as expected, met Pei Shuyu's gaze. Satisfied with occupying Pei Shuyu's gaze, Ji Yan raised her palm and said, "Come closer."
Pei Shuyu rested her chin on Ji Yan's palm uncertainly. A strange feeling suddenly came over her, making her want to escape.
The weather in April was neither cold nor hot, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on Pei Shuyu's forehead.
Ji Yan took out a small packet of tissues from his pocket, pulled out a piece, and looked at her strangely: "Why are you putting your chin on it? Wipe the sweat off your face."
Pei Shuyu was flustered: "Oh, okay."
Ji Yan bent his lip and scratched the girl's chin calmly, reluctant to take his hand back.
There’s no rush.
Pei Shuyu asked, "You haven't told me what the punishment is."
Ji Yan asked, "Is any punishment acceptable?"
Pei Shuyu: "Of course."
Ji Yan smiled faintly: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it later when I think of it."
