ATBLM [QT] Chapter 111.2

Bonus Chapter

---

 

During morning self-study, Yan Zhao was still lying on the table but not asleep. He was facing Jiang Rui and looking at her with his eyes open.

After Jiang Rui finished reading the English words, she opened the Chinese book and asked him during the break: “Why don’t you sleep?”

“I’m not sleepy,” Yan Zhao said.

She usually saw him sleeping very hard. But, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t sleep. She tilted her head and looked at him: “If you don’t want to sleep, come read with me.”

Yan Zhao: …

Yan Zhao thought in his mind whether he could fool her by yawning now. He thought so, but in the end, he honestly took out his Chinese book and weakly followed Jiang Rui to read it.

Although he could cope with the reading, for Lin Hang and others who had never seen him reading before, this scene was enough to shock them.

They agreed to be single together and be each other’s little friends, but Brother Zhao dumped them out of the singles without a word. Now are they even more ready to show off their affection and abuse each other?

“I haven’t woken up since yesterday.” Wang Xiaodong muttered to himself.

“Me too. Do you remember when we were in junior high school, a girl confessed to Brother Zhao? From then on, he would avoid girls when he saw them. I thought that in the near future, I would have the opportunity to sprinkle dog food on him and wake up this single dog, but now I am the one who is being fed…”

“Are you talking about the one in Class 3, Grade 3?”

Lin Hang disdainfully said: “It was much earlier than that, that class flower in the first and second grade!”

“I remember that when we were in elementary school, a girl asked me to hand over a love letter, but I accidentally lost it.” Wang Xiaodong recalled.

“Hey, so I have to think about whether there was one from kindergarten.” Lin Hang touched his chin and thought.

The two people’s voices were not loud, but they could still be heard from the front table. Yan Zhao was reading a book in his mouth and could not help but glance at Jiang Rui. For some reason, when Lin Hang and Wang Xiaodong mentioned the dark history of his past, he felt guilty for no reason.

Jiang Rui’s expression remained as usual, and she just looked at the textbook. Seeing that she was like this, Yan Zhao felt even more unsure.

Before the two of them recalled the memories of kindergarten, the bell rang first. Jiang Rui got up and went to the bathroom.

Seeing her walk out of the classroom door, Yan Zhao put down his book with a snap, turned his head, and stared at the back table fiercely.

Wang Xiaodong was frightened by him: “Uh… What’s wrong, Brother Zhao?”

Yan Zhao had a fierce look on his face and threats in his eyes, looking at them like a wolf, “Do you want to die?”

Wang Xiaodong shook his head quickly, and Lin Hang shook his head.

“Shut up if you don’t want to.” He gritted his teeth.

Lin Hang thought for a moment and then said tentatively: “Brother Zhao, are you afraid that the good student will know what happened in the past? But you didn’t accept those girls.”

“What do you know?” Yan Zhao was a little irritated. He could not let others know his guilty conscience. He was so shameless. He just looked at Lin Hang with contempt and sneered: “You don’t even have a girlfriend.”

Lin Hang: “…”

Before yesterday, everyone was still the same single dog. Is it necessary to hurt each other?

Just as he was talking, Jiang Rui came in from the back door. Yan Zhao immediately turned around and lay down on the table.

“What are you talking about?” Jiang Rui asked casually.

“They said yesterday’s peaches were delicious.” Yan Zhao said without blinking.

“I think it’s good too. My mother originally wanted to make jam, but she gave a few to the neighbors, so there wasn’t enough left over.”

Yan Zhao then said: “I’ll give it to you.”

Jiang Rui said with a smile: “No need. At least, I got it with my own labor, so I will keep it for my family to try. The orchard is not far from us. It should be sold in fruit shops in the city. I will go and ask about it on the weekend.”

“I’m going with you.”

“Okay.”

The two of them were talking to each other, and Lin Hang watched helplessly. Brother Zhao, you had looked fierce in front of them just now but turned into a twenty-four filial boyfriend in a second when you arrived in front of the good student.

He finally understood that as long as the good student was not around, Brother Zhao would still be Brother Zhao, and he would still be fierce. As soon as the good student comes… Hey, whose dog belongs to this proud, wagging tail golden retriever?

For a whole week, Yan Zhao waited for her near Jiang Rui’s house every morning. He went to school together, ate together in the cafeteria at noon, sent her back after school in the afternoon, and then went back home by himself.

After a few days, not only did he not find it troublesome, but he became more and more clingy. Sometimes, while Jiang Rui was listening in class, a hand would reach over from the side, take her hand, and knead it. Not to mention when taking the bus, he just hugged her immediately after getting on the bus without even making excuses anymore.

Even so, he still hasn’t implemented what he said before to teach her. Jiang Rui could feel his eyes glued to her lips several times, but she did not know what he was hesitating about. Does it take so much courage to kiss? (T/N: Don’t misunderstand, Ruirui. He is still not skilled yet, haha~~)

She doesn’t know yet that he is only trying to hold back his energy and only wants to do something big. Unfortunately, he hasn’t learned the ‘advanced pro-French kiss’ skills yet. Now he has reached the stage where he is competing with himself and must learn it.

***

On the weekend, the two of them made an appointment to go out and search in several fruit supermarkets in the city center. Sure enough, they found the peaches they wanted, and then they went to a milk tea shop to sit and talk.

Yan Zhao looked at the straw that was rounded and flattened in Jiang Rui’s hand and suddenly understood why the two people before drank milk tea with only one straw.

He stared at the straw for a while and then moved his eyes to her lips. Because it was stained with water, it looked more moist than usual. The pure color was a tender red, and it looked a little fleshy. It should be very soft…

He stared at it intently, and after a long time, he woke up and shook his head.

No, he hasn’t learned yet. He can’t show his ugliness in front of her!

He lowered his head and took a big sip of tea. When he heard her speak again, he raised his head. His eyes unconsciously stared at the opening and closing of her lips again.

Jiang Rui looked at the distracted person in front of her and stopped helplessly. Her lips were almost on fire from his gaze, but he was still holding it in. Why on earth was he so hesitant?

Jiang Rui could not stand it anymore.

When Yan Zhao came to his senses, he found that she was holding his chin with one hand, leaning very close to him. The two of them were looking at each other face to face.

She slowly leaned over, tilted her head, and pecked on his lips. She then stepped back a little, with a smile in her eyes.

Yan Zhao sat stiffly, and after a while, it seemed as if it suddenly exploded. He covered his mouth and jumped up. His whole face turned red.

 

*****

The author has something to say:

Sixth: What’s the point of pecking? If you want to come, just kiss deeply!

Jiang Rui: Kiss~

Sixth: Um, um…one more?

 

Translator: Hahahahaha… Our ML is so cute.
