I mentally note this, and although Qin Lan was very bad at the beginning, and she didn’t take anyones’ crap, she did later change and ask me to help her. But Yang Han Lu seemed to hide her pain. She would not go and ask someone to help her, and she stared me down like demon.
This woman’s heart must be very twisted.
I frowned and left, thinking it would be better not to associate with her anymore, because she might be thinking of ways to hurt Qin Lan.
I planned to go back to school, before going back to the milk tea store to see if Li Xin was there. I asked Sister Xia if Li Xin was here. Sister Xia rolled her eyes: "Man, why would she be here in the morning?"
And now I realized how dumb I was. I laughed dryly for a while, Sister Xia tsk'd me, and smiled playfully: "What you sent made her very happy."
I immediately rejoiced, Li Xin wore the clothes I sent? I asked her, she immediately smiled mischievously: "More than clothes, she even wore the underwears..."
My face was hot, but surprised: "How do you know?" She giggled twice: "Because I pulled open her pants to check ah, unexpectedly her ass is quite well developed, how exciting." (TN: what)
Fuck! I said, why would you do that? That'd scare her. Sister Xia hummed: "Why don't you check it out? Or are you jealous of me? Then you should take her pants off." (TN: These women in this story are scary..)
This big sister is really deprived! I always thought she was evil and lecherous, but I didn't think she'd be worse than I thought, fucking pulling Li Xin's pants to look at her ass? What's with her?
She looked at me and laughed, I was depressed afterwards and I left, so I wouldn't be teased to death by her.
I left, and she also waved at me in a strange way, and I was so angry that my teeth itched.
I went straight back to school. That said, I've forgotten about the date. And today was only Sunday, so I had time to work on my article.
I went back to class and started working, and Lin Yin Yin came soon after. But I was so focused on revising my essay that I didn't notice her.
The essay was only 10,000 words, no more, no less, so I spent the whole morning revising it and then stretched and found Lin Yin Yin was here.
I was in a good mood today, and now that I revised my article, I decided to give it to her.
When I went to see her, I almost died of laughter, she took off her shoes and was squatting on a chair instead of sitting on it like a frog.
I coldly spoke: "What are you doing?" She jumped in shock, giggled and put down her feet to sit: "I ...... sitting hurt my... behind, so I was just squatting."
This kind of behavior is something only elementary school students will do. But since she is very cute, and very small, her squatting would not be unlady-like.
I secretly laughed, seeing her face turn pinkish and changed the subject: "I revised my article, please look at it."
She instantly pretended to be an adult: "Okay, you wait a moment." I stifled a laugh and looked away, so she could concentrate on reading it.
I looked over at her, found her really focused, looking at what I changed, and then shifting to squat again.
It looks kind of uncomfortable to sit on your butt, it must be easy to get hemorrhoids ah. I think it'd be uncomfortable to sit for long, then I started squatting, coincidentally the literature member came to the classroom, looked and scolded me: "Can you not sit properly? What are you doing with your dirty feet?"
Damn, this person is being really annoying, I did not expect that of all the times they would come here.
I was defeated and had to sit down again, while pointing at Lin Yin Yin: "Class president is also......"
I didn't finish my sentence, as Lin Yin Yin giggled and was sitting upright.
My words got stuck, the literature member let out a hum: "What did you say about the president? She’s sitting perfectly well, she’s straighter than a pine tree, you should sit like her.."
All right, fine. It's my bad, the literature member let me go back to my seat, Lin Yin Yin secretly looked at me, and snickered.
This-!
I sighed, whatever it's helpless. I bury my head in my homework, and about an hour later Lin Yin Yin comes to me, and it's time to go to dinner.
She rubbed her belly and complained, "I've finished helping you, it's better now, I'll send it to the editor. Now let's go eat."
I said yes, I'll treat you. And she acted like she won the lottery, and began following me.
I wanted to laugh, I felt like I was misleading a child.
I am still very grateful to her, so I took her to a high-end place to eat this time.
She really is not polite, eating without caring about her image, but she is cute, and even if she eats badly, people like her.
After we finished eating, we parted ways and she went back with my manuscript. I went back to the dormitory, and for the first time I saw Zhang Xiong, who was very excited
His happiness was similar to lightning, I guess he just came back from an Internet Cafe, and was now tired of talking about games with his roommates.
I ignored him and went straight to my bed. But his excitement was unbearable, and he called out to me with a shout: "Li Chen, where have you been? Busy harassing my girl?"
I said hurry up and go to sleep, and stop yakking. He lost face and pointed at me as soon as he rose: "You've got fucking balls, I've put up with you for a long time, this is the last time, don't think I won't do anything to you because we're classmates, next time you harass my girl I'll absolutely kill you!"
I thought he was talking nonsense and went back to bed to take a good nap.
After napping, the dormitory was very quiet, Zhang Xiong and the others were in a deep slumber. I washed up and ran back to the classroom, Lin Yin Yin is really diligent, so she's here early.
She was the only one in the classroom now. I ran over to her, and she smiled at me happily: "It's good."
I was a little overwhelmed, and then the excitement hit me, and I bent over and hugged her, wanting to kiss her on the head.
The manuscript was approved! This meant that I had taken a crucial step in my journey as a writer, something that I could never have imagined before, and if Lin Yin Yin hadn't guided me, I would never have been able to pass the draft.
I hugged her tightly and couldn't help but kiss her hair. She whimpered twice and pinched my waist: "You bastard, in the heat of the moment, you really just wanted to take advantage of- ah."
I let go: "No, no, you are just too small, you're like a daughter, I just couldn't help it."
She kicked me, but her legs were short and she just kicked the air. I laughed out loud, and she died of shame: "I won't help you anymore!"
I was busy coaxing her, she clasped her hands and grunted a few times in anger, I said for the draft, where is the money? Where is it?
Lin Yin Yin gave me a blank look: "You will have to wait for the article to be published before you can make money. It will be in the middle of next month where you get paid. Since your article is fifty thousand words, you would get five hundred yuan next month." (TN: 70 USD)
Damn, five hundred dollars? That's too much! At the same time, I was a bit dumbfounded, wondering if my manuscript pay was really that high? Lin Yin Yin laughed triumphantly: "They accept manuscripts from fifty to three hundred thousand words, and yours would be the lowest amount, so you could go even higher."
I immediately stopped rejoicing, crap, it's the lowest pay. Lin Yin Yin grunted: "You still have a long way to go, I'm the magazine's gold medal writer, and I started publishing a series, maybe later yours can also get published, but you just started."
Holy shit, that's awesome. Damn, a long-form serialization? Published? Lin Yin Yin is so cool.
I said you're amazing, and she was so proud of herself, and after that she encouraged me: "You work hard, see if you can go to the annual meeting, which is, the award ceremony, during New Years."
I don't dare to ask for this, I'd be happy if I could get a draft. I thanked her again, and she told me not to be complacent, and to hurry up with the next article, if I had three articles, I would be a contracted writer, and the price would increase, and I would also have to turn in my articles regularly.
I was so energetic that I said yes. But finishing this first draft excited me so much that I couldn't settle down, so I said goodbye to Lin Yin Yin and went out on my own for a while.
I went to see Li Xin, I wanted to tell her about the money I made and share my joy with her.
I ran to the milk tea store and Li Xin was really there. But at this time there were no customers, so she was very relaxed, Sister Xia was playing with her computer tablet.
Li Xin is really good-looking today, wearing the clothes I bought, with her ponytail flowing downwards, her long flowing hair left an impact on me.
I smiled and ran in, she looked at me suddenly, and became a little bashful, lowering her head.
Sister Xia glanced at me and asked me in an exaggerated manner, " Aiyaa~, you've come to see the little beauty again? Does our little beauty look good?"
I said she was very pretty, Li Xin was at a loss for words, and she was so embarrassed. I was about to go over and talk to Li Xin, but then Sister Xia suddenly showed an eerie expression, and then she reached out and pulled Li Xin's pants a little.
I spat a little, Li Xin let out a quiet, ah, and instantly squatted down, clenched her pants.
Sister Xia laughed until she almost peed herself: "What's wrong? Do I bother you? I didn't mean to do that."
Li Xin is ashamed and angry: "You ...... you are terrible, do not pull my pants!"
Sister Xia said: "If you don't want me to, then stop me, anyway, I already know what underwear you are wearing today."
The corners of my mouth straightened, Li Xin couldn't lift her head, then she actually covered her face and ran away somewhere outside.
Sister Xia was also dumbfounded: "She left, shouldn't you go after her? I don't know how many times I molested her before you came and she just flicked me away, but she was so bashful once you came, I am baffled."
This- do you have no fucking shame? I am her brother, and our relationship was strange, why would you fucking do this to her in front of me and have no shame?
I rolled my eyes, then ran out to chase Li Xin. Li Xin probably ran back to school, she did not have the heart to face me.
But I ran to the school gate when I found her standing at the riverside railing, taking deep breaths to calm down.
I walked slowly over to her, she was breathing and fixing her hair and clothes, it seems she still wants to know what I came for.
I coughed gently, she froze, and immediately turned her head to look at me, and then quickly lowered her head, unable to, and saying nothing.
We still can not speak normally, I am now also quite embarrassed, I blame the bad woman Xia.
I then gave a dry laugh, gently went over, although still embarrassed, but we still have to communicate, I was going to open my mouth. Unexpectedly, she opened her mouth, Li Xin suddenly stretched out her small hand, I was startled, she quickly glanced at me, her palm flattened.
I was dumbfounded, Li Xin lowered her head, her tiny palm spread out in front of me.
I don't know why, but inside my heart, there was this unexplainable feeling, but I started writing on her tiny palm: I've earned money, and I'll buy you dinner.
Her palms were dense with sweat, trembling slightly in front of me, and she looked at me in surprise after I finished writing, her eyes containing many complex feelings.
I likewise spread the palms of my hands in front of her, and she wrote lightly: Did you earn it by doing, that, kind of thing?
I smiled and shook my head, she seemed to want to ask how I earned the money, but in the end did not ask, I did not say, my current achievements aren't too impressive, I want to become a real writer before telling her– telling her I can support her.
The wind by the river is a bit strong, Li Xin's hair is being blown around. I gently squeezed her palm and took her to dinner, she did not resist, but the sweat on her palms was accumulating slowly.
And suddenly someone walked by next to us and looked at us in surprise. I just came to my senses, I can't be like this to her right here, people will surely say she is in love early again, or with a bad student from some highschool, because I am wearing the uniform from my school right now.
I immediately let go of her hand, and she was also nervous. I gave a smile, "Just follow me, keep your head up so you don't bump into me." (TN: DID HE JUST TALK TO HER????????? WHAT)
She nodded gently, her eyes were in disarray. We were now like a couple caught in the heat of the moment, but I knew in my heart that she just wasn't used to me yet, and that three years of estrangement couldn't be fizzled overnight.
I walked forward, she also followed, but every time I looked back at her she surprisingly lowered her head, afraid to meet my eyes.
I had no choice but to walk slowly, lest she fall behind. So we dawdled like snails, I wanted to laugh, and when I looked back at her, she had her head down.
But then a little hand was raised hesitantly moving forward, I thought she wanted to write something again, but she ended up gently touching the corner of my coat and then slightly squeezed it.
I was so moved, she was so delicate, her head hanging low, her little hand squeezing the corner of my coat, like the little girl who depended on me back then.
