Chapter 3 Charming Little Milk Candy is Actually Green Tea Flavored (3)
Kang X Fu and Unified have always been competing brands.
“I don’t think that the Unified brand is that tasty!” Someone couldn’t help but retort.
“But don’t these two brands sell instant noodles?” Some people drifted off-topic.
“No, they also sell drinks,” another girl added.
Yin Han’s friend group felt their smiles subsiding, and their inner group thoughts began to differ.
In the end, the girl who spoke at the beginning reminded everyone.
“It’s not this type of green tea.”
“You really don’t understand, new classmate?”
Of course, Bi Ming (a proper green tea) knew what they were discussing very well. Her tone was warm, and she said earnestly, “I’m sorry, I thought you were talking about drink brands…Were you guys talking about tea art?”
“I heard that West Lake Longjing, Emei Xueya, Meitan Cuiya, Xinyang Maojian, Zhuyeqing, and Lanxin Que Tong are all famous green teas. I only have Lu’an Guapian at home, which is from my hometown. It is self-produced. Next time when I have a chance, I will invite everyone to drink.” She said, embarrassed, pinching her fingers.
Seeing the girl announce varieties of tea without blinking, everyone was a little surprised-
“Damn, the new classmate is amazing! Why didn’t I know that there are so many varieties of tea…”
“Because you are a pig, At least I know that tea is divided into green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. And she named all green tea varieties.”
“Lu’an Guapian’s green tea, I’m drooling, new classmate, come and meet the other fellow classmates!”
Everyone chatted, and after a while, they forgot why Yin Han’s group brought up green tea.
It was just a provocation at first.
The two girls with the best relationship with Yin Han didn’t say anything.
Bi Ming smiled briskly. Without scheming, she shifted the conversation entirely with just a few words. Moreover, the subtle alienation she felt had disappeared without a trace.
…
While talking with her classmates, Bi Ming stared at the school flower who was staring at her not too far away and curled her lips into a smile.
Oops, someone seems a little anxious.
It’s okay; let’s take it slow.
Yin Han met Ruan Xiaoan’s eyes, her heartbeat skipped a beat, and she turned her head away subconsciously.
It’s strange; why was it different from her imagination?
How could Ruan Xiaoan integrate into that group of girls so quickly?
***
The next day, Yin Han imitating Bi Ming with a low ponytail, grasped her pen and pretended to be thinking about her test paper. Instead, she was racking her brain for methods to attract the attention of the boys who had been ignoring her.
“How do you answer this question?” She bumped into the boy beside her.
Pei Jingshuo was scolded by his mother last night because of Yin Han’s complaint. Because she showed up to school, cheekily pretending that nothing had happened, Pei Jingshuo had gotten really annoyed, slamming his book on the table and saying coldly,
“Enough of this, Yin Han, we need to switch seats right now. Either you’ll go, or I’ll go.”
Yin Han stared blankly at him before shaking angrily: “If you don’t change, I won’t change! Why?
Pei Jingshuo, why am I blocking your eyes?”
Pei Jingshuo didn’t even look at her; even though they grew up together, his patience had reached the limit.
Yin Han watched him resolutely start to pack his things, her head was buzzing, and tears were streaming down her face.
“You go, don’t come back. Go to your poor little white lotus to play. My mother will not spare you!”
Because of her loud voice, the surrounding classmates could hear her clearly.
Everyone started to gossip about her.
“The school flower is angry again?” Tang Bei touched his little heart, frightened by Yin Han’s scream.
“There’s nothing I can do. After all, he’s just so iron-hearted—” Ran Le said, sitting at the front table and afraid that the world wasn’t chaotic enough.
The glasses boy Xueba also joined in the fun: “Is it just me, but it’s amazing to be able to drive Pei Jingshuo away after so long?”
Tang Bei nodded with lingering fear.
In a sense, Yin Han is capable because she managed to keep Pei Jingshuo for so long.
Fortunately, my tablemate isn’t intimidating at all… Fatty Tang thought foolishly.
Maybe it was because the flag couldn’t stand randomly. After three seconds, Tang Bei was dumbfounded.
This fatty had only had a mouthful of gossip, but the center of all of it came straight to him.
“Now, pack your things and switch places with me.” The black-haired, black-eyed youth with phoenix-like eyes stared at the little fat man and ordered slowly.
Tang Bei opened his chubby mouth wide, looking at the tall man in front of him, and hit his schoolbag, thinking of this quote: the fire at the city gate will bring disaster to Chiyu.
Tang Bei was trembling, and when he saw Yin Han, whose eyes were staring at him, a great sadness flooded his heart: “Pei… Brother Pei, it’s not, it’s not very convenient…”
“What’s the inconvenience?” The school bully lowered his head and gave him a cold look.
Tang Xiaopang couldn’t stand the bully’s gaze; his mind was full of “Ow, I’m going to die” and “Mom, I’m going to be beaten”, and he almost stumbled to his feet: “Hahahaha it’s inconvenient because of me, me, that… I have a lot of stuff, so I will start packing it up now!”
It was he who was short of breath; no matter how reluctant he was to leave his new tablemate, he had to recognize the school bully.
After all, the man before him was the invincible Demon King, with the whole school under his command.
Ran Le looked at his friend seated behind him, who had thrown his school bag on the table, and smirked at him: “Oh, Shuo Shuo, I didn’t expect you to like sitting next to the new classmate so much.
Pei Jingshuo raised his eyebrows and slapped him on the head with his backhand: “Stop disgusting me!”
“Damn!” Ran Le covered his head and screamed in pain, still not forgetting to say something cheap. “Our new classmate is the new math class representative; she’s helping the teacher correct homework in their office.”
Bi Ming arrived and was returning from the math teacher’s office with the homework folder. Bi Ming, the official math class representative, came to her seat with a soft face and saw a handsome boy in Tang Bei’s place. Her eyes widened: “Huh?”
It looked like a frightened deer.
Pei Jingshuo’s face was like, “I’m just sitting here,” and the corners of his lips were teasing: “Yo, new tablemate.”
The girl glanced at him suspiciously, bent over to look at the desk drawer, and found that it was indeed her own position. Then looking back, she happened to see Tang Bei’s face that was about to cry without tears, which made her step back.
“I, I, I… We were separated, wu~wu~” Tang Bei said with difficulty, and then he couldn’t help being aggrieved. His glutinous rice dumplings-like face had become a biting tiger-like, and he would still stare at her with sadness.
“Why, why?” Bai Tuanzi was also slightly flustered by his statement, “Is it what the teacher asked?”
“Pay attention to your words, Tang Bei, when did you and our math class representative spend time together to be separated?” Ran Le glanced at him with an unhappy expression, and Tang Xiaoping quickly corrected his statement.
“It’s not what the teacher asked,” Tang Bei’s voice became thinner and thinner as if he saw some beast. “Yes, yes…”
“What?” The girl was puzzled but felt a hot sensation in her ear in the next second—
“I asked for it.” The boy’s low, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.
The tall boy stood up a lot taller than Bi Ming. At this moment, when he lowered his head and spoke in her ear, his posture was natural and ambiguous. The girl was startled, turned around, and bumped into the other person’s chest.
Warm and powerful muscles brushed lightly against the tip of her nose, and the heat penetrated her senses along the skin.
“Ah?” The girl’s face turned red, like a cloud of powder.
One couldn’t tell if she was shy or simply embarrassed.
Looking at the girl’s innocent and clean eyes, full of bewilderment and surprise, Pei Jingshuo felt his fingers become a little itchy, and like his heart was crawling with ants. It was a crisp feeling.
“Hey, are you dissatisfied with sitting with me, little dwarf?” He stretched out his hand, held the top of the girl’s head, leaned over to her eyes, and smiled.
“Ow—” Ran Le next to him cooed strangely, “Brother Shuo, you rascal, what do you mean by asking if she is dissatisfied with anything?”
In the eyes of everyone, the domineering teenager behind the classroom and the blushing face girl is just putting on a youth school drama.
Bi Ming was too familiar with this primary school domineering scene.
One, two, three—
“I’m not a dwarf.” The girl pushed the boy away and pressed her arm, her eyes widened, and her eyelashes trembled like a frightened butterfly.
Then she took a few steps back and said seriously to the boy who was acting recklessly in front of her: “And classmates, it’s not right for you to change seats like this.”
Pei Jingshuo narrowed his eyes and raised his brows: “What did you call me?”
“Classmate Pei?” The little girl thought his tone was strange, so she had to add a surname.
Pei Jingshuo, who has never been treated so “politely,” didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry: “Do you usually address others this way?”
Bi Ming: Others, hehe?
But there was still a look of ignorance and fear on her face.
Ran Le, who is not afraid of big trouble, insisted on assisting his brother: “Representative of mathematics class, you can call him Shuo Shuo, he likes others to call him Shuo Shuo the most.”
“Ran Le, do you want me to beat you up?” Pei Jingshuo changed his tone. Glancing through his eyes, he picked up his friend’s collar, and the sound of knuckles cracking and hand turning in the air was annoying.
Just when Ran Le was about to hug his head and mourn, a voice suddenly silenced everybody.
“Shuo Shuo…”
Light, soft, milky, and sweet.
From Ran Le’s point of view, you can see the stunned expression of the young man facing him for a moment.
“Don’t, don’t fight, okay?” The girl whose hair was pinned behind her ears, who looked so well-behaved and delicate, showed a worried expression, “It’s not good to hit people.”
Then she couldn’t help but to block him. His face seemed very ashamed: “Yes, I’m sorry, let’s make your classmate Pei understand that fighting is against discipline…”
Pei Jingshuo looked back at her; her small, slender fingers couldn’t cover her blushing cheeks. She is obviously very timid but still tries her best to stop him from “fighting.”
At this moment, the embarrassment and annoyance in his heart disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented tingling.
Something is quietly breaking out.
The dark pupils of the young man slowly took on an indescribable luster, like stars slowly rising in the dark night.
He loosened his grip on his companion’s collar, took a long step, and returned to his position.
Seeing that he was no longer moving, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, silently sat back in the seat next to him, opened the book for the next class, and started preparing.
But after a while, the person beside her suddenly opened his mouth, with a bit of jest in his tone: “Hello, good student.”
The girl frowned slightly and ignored him.
“Do you want to supervise my discipline like this in the future?” His fingers tapped lightly on the table on her side, trying to get her attention.
Bi Ming turned her head in annoyance and looked at the boy very seriously:
“My name is Ruan Xiaoan. Please don’t give me random nicknames.”
“Also, discipline matters are not under my control, the class monitor is responsible.”
“I know, teacher’s pet.” Pei Jingshuo just pulled his lips, with a bit of ambiguity, “I want to say…”
“If you care, I’ll be listening.”
“You—” The girl was stunned and finally met the boy’s eyes, so bright and dazzling, with a flaming passion.
