How are the two little ladies? I heard that the three of you skipped school together and got written up?
Bathed in the warm rays of the distant sun, from afar, the two of them seemed like a mature sister and an affectionate little brother sitting next to each other on the swings. They were currently near the sports field, and the distant noises of the school could be heard in the background.
Sis, you get updates really fast… For you to get news about this insignificant matter at your prestigious school… You’re not actually a teacher, but rather a part of the FBI, right?
Jiaming sighed.
Hah!
Yahan promptly explained,
When I passed by the announcement board earlier, your names were on it. Oh, by the way, has that Huang Haoyun been bothering you at home lately?
Uh, I’m generally not at home, so he isn’t able to find me…
If he bothers you, let me know.
Truth was, after that situation at the summer camp, Jiaming had wanted to get rid of the troublesome connection to Zhang Yahan. But Yahan trained at the Ye family’s martial arts hall, and they would occasionally meet; once in a while, she would also suddenly visit the Huang family’s villa, causing a ruckus within the family every time.
When Yahan visited the Huang’s villa, Huang Haoyun was always be by her side chattering away. She did not have any interest towards the Huang’s young master to start with, as they did not have much in common, so after his pathetic response during the hostage situation, she ended up being disgusted by him. Yahan’s original intention in visiting the Huang family was to befriend Jiaming, but it ended up causing trouble for him instead. Even though Huang Haoyun was already over twenty, his EQ was lower than that of a 12-year-old. He thought the only way to make Yahan pay attention to him was to pick fights with Jiaming every day.
Fortunately, Jiaming did not have the mentality of a child and only regarded this matter as a temporary inconvenience. Otherwise, with Huang Haoyun causing trouble all the time for no reason, he would have long since killed him. Still, Jiaming chose to only appear helpless and laugh grimly in his mind. After being bullied by Huang Haoyun for a few days, it was inevitable for him to feel smothered. Since he was already hiding from Zhang Yahan during this time period, he had to spend even more effort on hiding and avoiding. However, not long after, Yahan discovered Huang Haoyun’s bullying. Around 1994, during one of the Chinese New Year meet-and-greet events, Zhang Yahan confronted Huang Haoyun and broke off their friendship. After that, she no longer visited the Huang family, and Haoyun’s bullying of Jiaming eventually stopped.
As to Yahan’s opinion about Jiaming, it seemed that she considered him to be a child genius that had matured early. Having gone through a life-or-death situation with Jiaming, it was natural that she considered him to be a friend. As for Jiaming, after being reborn, he had only been able to interact closely with the two young girls and had almost no chances to befriend older people. After thinking it through, he decided not to avoid Yahan anymore. Whenever they had a chance meeting at the martial arts hall or at other locations, they would exchange witty barbs – it could be considered that they had become good friends. This was actually the first time the two of them had met in a school setting.
When Jiaming heard Yahan mention Huang Haoyun, he smiled nervously.
Are you trying to stir things up again? He already doesn’t like me. If you say something, he’ll just hate me more… Of course, if you’re willing to sacrifice yourself and sleep with him, then everything would be solved…
Yahan blushed furiously.
Child, what are you saying…
I wanna drink milk~
After being called a child, Jiaming jumped up and clung to her chest. Shrugging him off, Yahan disappeared for a bit. When she returned, her face was all red. She placed a bottle of milk next to him and smiled sharply at him.
You do this every time I call you ‘child’…
Hehe…
He drank two mouthfuls of milk, then reached over and took Yahan’s glasses while scrutinizing her face. He did not say anything and stared until her cheeks went rosy red and her gaze turned vicious. He only smirked and said,
Yeah, you’re much prettier like this. I think I’ll keep these glasses.
Stop giving me trouble.
Yahan reached out for her glasses a few times, but Jiaming dodged her and she temporarily gave up. Jiaming perched the glasses on his own face, but because his features were too ordinary, he ended up looking like a naive and unsophisticated bookworm. Yahan took one look and burst out laughing, saying,
You’re such a joker…
You’re actually wearing these glasses to stop yourself from flirting, right?
Jiaming asked with great interest.
Hey, let me know honestly. In that group of male teachers, you’re interested in at least one of them right? Is it the Mr. Handsome from just now?
That’s none of your business, you troublemaker.
Yahan smirked when she thought back to when they had first bumped into each other. When the unscrupulous Jiaming ran over and hugged her, a colleague of hers had amicably asked,
Yahan, is that your little brother? How come you never mentioned him before?
Nope, Yahan is my bride-to-be,
Jiaming interjected while clinging to her intimately. Even though she had flushed and instantly pushed Jiaming away, the male colleague had jumped to conclusions and wore a stunned expression. When Yahan remembered the look, she could no longer hold back her laughter and turned towards where Jiaming was currently looking at. The group of teachers had gathered on the sports field and some of them were sneakily looking at them. When they accidentally met Yahan’s eyes, they quickly turned and pretended they were busy doing something else.
You shouldn’t look down on him. That male teacher is Xu Mo, an honors graduate of Peking University. His family deals in foreign trade, even though it’s not on the same scale as the Huang and Zhang families. As his older brother took over the family business, he decided to pursue another career instead.
I bet he said he did not want to rely on his family’s influence and wanted to see how far he could go or something along those lines right?
Slightly startled, Yahan’s eyes widened.
How did you know?
Jiaming took another sip of milk.
Silly girl, haven’t you read novels? The playboy always says that to the girl he’s wooing… Hmph, that guy is actually my love rival.
Go die!
Laughing, Yahan lightly hit his arm. She had a lot of confidence because she was aware of her own beauty and family status. She also knew that, because of those two things, men that were interested in her generally had ulterior motives. This was why she usually maintained a low-key attitude when it came to work and people; she would be courteous but distant, and that made it difficult for her to make close friends.
However, Jiaming was different because he was still a child. Even though he was somewhat mature, somewhat sarcastic, somewhat cunning and somewhat perverted, he could be considered a good friend. Not to mention, he volunteered to be a hostage during that camping incident – it was hard to find someone that was selfless enough to offer themselves in exchange. He was also able to step up during the important moments. If he had not loosened his ropes and taken the gun, she believed that they would not have survived that hostage situation.
She felt it would be difficult to find another interesting friend like him, so even if she had to deal with his flirtatious attitude, she would take it without complaint.
Curious, Yahan suddenly asked,
Oh that’s right, when I first arrived, it seemed like that fatty and a group of people were surrounding you. Did they want to fight? His dad came with him to the school a few days ago and I believe they wanted to transfer. If you would like, I can instantly —
She made a neck slicing movement and smirked,
Cut him off.
Ah, it’s just a small matter.
Jiaming side-eyed Yahan when her eyes twinkled mischievously and hurriedly interrupted,
Stop interfering, I would rather wish he died somewhere far away from me. It’d be better if he left this school instead of coming to bother me again.
Oh, leave it to me then!
Yahan grinned as she thumped her chest. Under Jiaming’s reproachful look, she quickly made a ‘pfft’ sound and said,
Don’t give me that look.
Tsk! Fine…
Jiaming took a look at his watch.
Class is ending soon and I have to go to the bathroom. Go do whatever you were doing because I’ll be leaving with Lingjing and Shasha after.
Oh yeah? I’m driving today and was planning to drop by the martial arts hall. Speaking of which…
Yahan came up to Jiaming,
Give me my glasses back.
Dream on, haven’t you heard of finder’s keepers?
Hurry up and give them back.
Take them back if you dare.
You think I won’t? Come, give them back or I’ll fight you.
I dare you to take them!
If you don’t give them back, I’m really going to hit you!
Come hit me if you have the guts then!
You really want me to? I’m… Ah—
As the two of them fought over the glasses, Yahan lost her balance and accidentally pushed Jiaming off the swing. The two of them fell and she collapsed on top of him, pressing him down.
Ugh…Gasp… Help me… I’m going to die…
As the two of them had different heights, Yahan’s bosom was pressed firmly onto Jiaming’s face. Smothered by two lumps of tender flesh, Jiaming had difficulty breathing; Yahan gave a cry of alarm and quickly leaped off Jiaming, her face turning crimson again. However, she also took this chance to retrieve her glasses from him.
Haha… Sis, if you wanted to kill me… you didn’t have to use this method… hahaha…
Jiaming chuckled while lying on a floor – an impression of a button of Yahan’s shirt still visible on his forehead. Yahan smacked him violently.
Go die!
After making sure that her glasses, hair, and clothing were neat and straightened out, she stepped away and then looked at him.
Hey, I want to catch up with Lingjing and Shasha as well. Once you meet up with them, wait at the school entrance. You recognize my car, right?
Ok, ok, I know already. Are you my bride-to-be or my mother?
It’s because no one raised you when you were young…
Yahan made a face at him, and with her cheeks still flushed, she walked back to the group of teachers. Once she was far away, Jiaming slowly smiled as he picked himself up and took in several deep breaths.
Getting the chance to grow up with other children and then getting to experience the older sister once in a while… Life really is perfect right now… Thank you, Mr. Firebird…
After he came out of the bathroom, the fatty with his four followers suddenly appeared again. The classes were ending so the school was currently at its quietest time. He grudgingly looked at them.
What do you guys want?
What do we want? Now that there are no teachers or anyone around, we are going to beat you until your mother doesn’t recognize you!
Whether you beat me or not, my mother won’t recognize me and I won’t recognize her. But…
Jiaming smirked,
There really is no one around right now.
The fatty caught sight of Jiaming clenching his right hand into a fist and stretching his wrist, so he took the initiative and rushed forwards.
You dare to fight back?!
The fatty was a head taller than Jiaming and at least double to triple his weight. Taking advantage of his quick-start, he reached out with both hands to push Jiaming, but… he was not there.
In a flash, Jiaming had taken a step back and swung his right fist in a perfect arc.
Bang
From that one fist, the fatty went flying almost two meters away. He crash-landed in front of the other four, a few teeth falling out and blood splattering everywhere, no longer able to move.
The other four stared at him in shock, mouths agape as Jiaming casually strolled over.
You know, I only used 3% of my strength. I am paying you back for what you did to Shasha. Don’t ever, let me see you guys again.
3 / 5 chapters of the week (next release is Fri, Feb 9).
