Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 36: Little Words in My Heart

The feeling of hugging was completely different from that time when we were sitting together. There was a little head in my arms, pressed tightly against my chest.

Xu Zhe'an thought that every beat of his heart could be heard by her ears.

As her heart beat faster and faster, the hand on her shoulder involuntarily increased its strength.

"You're hugging me too tightly..."

"excuse me."

Hearing Jiang Yun's gentle reminder, Xu Zhe'an released the strength of his arm, letting his arm hang, leaving only his palm gently resting on her shoulder.

"Xu Zhe'an, what happened today is our secret. You can't tell anyone. Can you do that?"

"I promise, I won't. This is my reward, and only I know about it."

Xu Zhe'an spoke in a firm tone and touched Jiang Yun's head from the beginning to the end.

Perhaps this made her feel comfortable and she shuddered.

"You will never suffer the same pain you went through before."

Jiang Yun did not answer. At this moment, the weight of the two words "thank you" was not as great as hugging him a little longer. She clasped her hands around Xu Zhe'an's waist together.

It is said to be five minutes, but in reality it is more than two or three times longer.

Xu Zhe'an clearly felt that Jiang Yun's breathing rhythm had slowed down, and he scratched her cheek with the joint of his index finger.

"Fell asleep?"

"No, are you sleepy?"

Having said that, Jiang Yun reluctantly let go of her hand and took a step back.

Even though she didn't look up, Xu Zhe'an knew that she must be shy at the moment, so he joked:

"I'm still not satisfied, but there's still a long way to go. Just reward me a few more times in the future."

"Who wants to reward you more?"

Jiang Yun raised her head, looked at the smiling Xu Zhe'an with watery eyes, and said something harsh.

"I will definitely beat you up next time."

As for whether it is true or not, only she knows.

"Don't hit me all the time. Besides, your fists are small and weak. It's useless to hit me."

"I didn't say to use fists."

As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, her hand had already pinched the flesh around Xu Zhe'an's waist.

"Aren't you afraid here?"

Everyone is afraid of it.

Xu Zhe'an quickly checked the time, 0:25.

"Okay, okay, I give in. Let's go have breakfast outside. You can sleep a little longer and get up at 8 o'clock. Go and get some rest."

"Humph."

Jiang Yun put her hands behind her back.

"Good night, idiot Xu Zhe'an."

After saying that, she walked quickly towards the inner room.

According to his normal biological clock, Xu Zhe'an should have fallen asleep by now.

But there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. After being hugged by Jiang Yun, all my sleepiness disappeared.

He leaned on the railing and looked at the floor in front of him. There were still many houses with lights on, probably people were reviewing.

In comparison, I seem to be much luckier.

Have a happy and harmonious family, good grades, and loved ones around you.

He didn't know how long he thought about it before he went back to his room to sleep.

……

Sunday, May 5.

Xu Zhe'an woke up to the sound of the alarm clock, feeling a little dizzy. What happened last night seemed like a dream.

After changing clothes and walking out of the room to wash up, Jiang Yun was already sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Seeing how focused she was, Xu Zhe'an didn't call her, but quickly went to the bathroom, washed, and shaved in ten minutes.

Xu Zhe'an came to the living room again and found that Jiang Yun was a little strange today, so he walked a little closer, bent his waist and lowered his head and said:

"Let's go have breakfast."

"Ah."

Jiang Yun closed the handbook on classical Chinese knowledge points and put it in her schoolbag.

"Aren't you wearing a coat today?"

Xu Zhe'an looked at Jiang Yun who had already put on her schoolbag. She did not wear her school uniform jacket like before, but was wearing a summer short-sleeved shirt like himself.

"If I don't wear it, why are there so many problems?"

"Just to show my concern. I'm worried something might happen to you."

After Xu Zhe'an finished explaining, he quickly changed his shoes and jumped on the spot to boost his spirits.

She had checked the bruises on her arms last night and made sure they were gone before she was willing to get rid of the coat that was meant to be worn in spring and fall.

In fact, the main reason is the watch Xu Zhe'an gave her. If two people wear the same watch, it will be obvious that they have a special relationship. In that case, others should not have any ideas about him.

"How is that possible?"

Jiang Yun noticed that his dark circles were heavier than before and asked in confusion:

"What time did you go to bed?"

"Two o'clock."

When Jiang Yun heard this answer, she sneered and raised her hand to twist Xu Zhe'an's arm.

"Staying up late will make you stupid."

"..."

Xu Zhe'an couldn't think of how to explain it for a moment. He had been thinking about where to take her to play after the college entrance examination last night.

Fortunately, she didn't use too much force. She rolled her eyes and asked:
"Have you seen the gift my mom gave you? Is it suitable?"

"Well, it fits very well and looks very good. Auntie has very good taste."

Jiang Yun answered, but her eyes were still fixed on Xu Zhe'an.

"Then when will you wear it so we can see it?"

"You wish. Auntie got up early today. She must have seen it anyway."

what?
My mother, who always goes to work late, can actually get up early.

Seeing that the topic could not be continued, Xu Zhe'an could only walk towards the breakfast shop in silence, while Jiang Yun quickened her pace and followed him.

The boss didn't tease the two of them today. He just asked Xu Zhe'an why he hadn't come for a long time. He made up a reason and fooled the boss.

When the two of them walked towards the examination hall after breakfast, they attracted a lot of people to look back. After all, one was handsome and the other was beautiful, and they became the focus as soon as they stood in the crowd.

Not only the younger students, but even the classmates were surprised. It all came down to Jiang Yun's huge change.

When it was time for the exam, the invigilator handed out the papers and sat down. He looked even more tired than the students below and kept yawning.

Even though Xu Zhe'an didn't sleep well, he didn't dare to relax at all, because Jiang Yun warned him on the way that if his Chinese grades dropped, he would be in trouble.

But the Chinese language test is really tiring, especially the reading part. As time goes by, the boring essay questions and the unattractive novel selections make my eyelids droop.

As a last resort, he took out the medicated oil that Jiang Yun had stuffed into his pocket. The stimulating smell rushed straight to his head, and he was completely awake and focused again.

From the expressions on everyone's faces, it can be seen that the difficulty of this exam has increased significantly. Everyone has a frown on their face, and some are even scratching their heads.

This situation never happened in many previous Chinese language exams.

Because of some delay, Xu Zhe'an, who usually arrives half an hour early, was only five minutes early today.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam. He and Jiang Yun handed in their papers together, then walked out of the classroom one after the other.

Jiang Yun glared at Xu Zhe'an in dissatisfaction.

"If I hadn't given you the Fengyoujing, you would have fallen asleep."

Xu Zhe'an waved his hand and blurted out the reason:

"How is that possible? I'm not trying to stay awake, I'm trying to get rid of mosquitoes. That place is close to the window, there are always mosquitoes."

"Impossible? The test started half an hour ago, and you were pecking at rice like a chicken. I can see it."

Jiang Yun's words were so convincing that Xu Zhe'an knew he had no reason to argue, so he opened the bag on her back, put all the exam supplies in it, and said:

"Go home and eat, and don't discuss this."

Then he patted her schoolbag and signaled to set off.

"He's been getting more and more dishonest lately."

As Jiang Yun walked along, she kept talking about Xu Zhe'an's crimes over the past few days. He didn't argue, and the words went in one ear and out the other.

After all, she is worried about herself. Let her say whatever she wants to say. It is also a way to vent the depression in her heart.

I didn’t buy any groceries yesterday, so I had to eat out for lunch. After asking Jiang Yun for her opinion, I went to the noodle restaurant again.

When Aunt Zhang saw them, she smiled happily and asked for more meat.

Jiang Yun just complained on the way, but ended up saying to herself that she was angry and sat opposite without saying a word.

Xu Zhe'an had been holding back his laughter the whole time, but the moment he saw her competing with herself, he couldn't hold it back anymore.

It was nearly half an hour before dinner time, and apart from Aunt Zhang, there were only the two of them.

"How could someone get so mad at themselves on their birthday?"

Xu Zhe'an took two bottles of iced soda from the refrigerator, gently touched Jiang Yun's arm with the bottles, and teased with a smile.

"Sister Yun?"

"Xiaoyun?"

"Student Jiang Yun?"

Seeing that she ignored him, Xu Zhe'an kept calling her.

"oops…"

Jiang Yun covered her ears. Faced with Xu Zhe'an's shamelessness, she had no power to resist at all.

"Today I have to call you Xiaoyun. Since you said you were older than me and lied to me for three years calling you Sister Yun, shouldn't you call me Brother?"

"You wish. Who told you to keep asking me that, little brother?"

Jiang Yun stuck out her tongue, looking like she was going to hit me if I didn't agree with her.

His expression changed so quickly, from being a little angry to being satisfied in just a few words.

Xu Zhe'an said secretly.

"You really don't want to scream?"

"boring."

Jiang Yun was dismissive, she preferred the siblings.

not called?

Today's mission is immediately clear:

Call me brother, and it has to be a very sweet sound, so that just one sound can make you feel numb all over your body.

After a while, Aunt Zhang brought two bowls of noodles to their table. The beef chunks were large and the portions were generous.

Apart from real, Xu Zhe'an couldn't find any other more appropriate adjective.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, both of them ate everything up.

We were so full that we could hardly walk, so we walked slowly on the way home, like an old couple taking a stroll.

After returning home, Xu Zhe'an couldn't wait to turn on the air conditioner. He stood in front of the house and fanned himself by holding the hem of his clothes. Tortured by the scorching sun, he didn't care about his image. The advantages of the cabinet air conditioner were perfectly reflected at this moment.

Jiang Yun sat on the sofa and looked at Xu Zhe'an in silence. She couldn't see his clothes clearly, so she urged him:
"Go take a nap, don't sit there pecking at rice again in the afternoon."

Only during lunch break could she get some quiet time with Xu Zhe'an, and she could lie beside him and watch him secretly without him knowing.

"I'm really not sleepy. It was an accident this morning."

Xu Zhe'an turned around and explained.

Jiang Yun took off her hairband and let her hair down, walked to the balcony, put the lounge chair in place, and lay down first.

A 40-minute nap is optimal; more or less will lead to increased fatigue.

It's only 12:10 now. Xu Zhe'an thinks that if he sleeps until :, he will not be able to wake up during the exam.

After a few minutes, he came to the balcony to cool down.

Seeing Jiang Yun with her hands on her stomach and eyes closed, he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

He simply lay down, but he fell asleep in less than ten minutes.

Jiang Yun had been listening to the sound of breathing, and when it became steady and slow, she called out in a very low voice, word by word:
"Xu-Zhe-An."

Afraid that he wasn't asleep yet, I called him twice more.

After confirming that it was the same as before, she tiptoed away from the recliner, making sure not to make too much noise, and took a small stool and sat down next to Xu Zhe'an.

"You really deserve a beating for talking back to me every day. I'm also thinking about you. You have so much potential. If I don't push you, who knows how high you can fly."

Jiang Yun didn't dare to say anything, but just mouthed what was in her heart to him.

She didn't complain about the first few lunch breaks, she just sat beside him and quietly observed Xu Zhe'an's sleeping face.

"The results came out yesterday morning, and Teacher Yang had a long talk with me, urging both of us to strive for higher scores. But he said something that really offended me. He actually said he used to think your level was only 670. I always thought you were smarter than me, but you just lacked motivation."

"Besides, he also told me to be careful when dating you and avoid affecting your sprint. I explained that we didn't do that, but he refused to believe me, saying that if we did it, then there was no need to deny it."

Jiang Yun stopped and a look of annoyance appeared between her brows.

"I've felt this homeroom teacher is unpleasant since my freshman year, but I didn't dare to say it. He always likes to use grades to justify his position, and I really don't feel he's doing his job well."

In fact, in her heart, the last incident of calling the parents has always been a knot in her heart, and she has a grudge against Yang Minghui.

"I'll try to break through again and try not to be left too far behind you. Otherwise, if you really get into Tsinghua University, I won't have a chance at all. There are only a few exams left, so let's work hard together and let Lao Yang see if his judgment is right."

Xu Zhe'an was sleeping soundly. Jiang Yun was watching him attentively, holding her chin with both hands and supporting her elbows with her legs, smiling.

"Actually, I didn't sleep well either. I went back to my room and took a shower, and my mind was full of thoughts of hugging you..."

As she said this, she felt the temperature on her cheeks gradually rising in the palm of her hand, and her smile turned into a shy look.

After calming down, she looked at the time. According to Xu Zhe'an's habit, there was still half an hour left.

"This morning, I woke up and ran into my aunt. She asked me if I was still asleep. I said no, and then she asked me to try on a dress to see if it was the right size for me. The moment I put it on, it fit perfectly. She didn't even ask for my size, but she was able to choose the perfect fit. I really admire my aunt for that."

"I'll wear it out and show it to you when I have the chance. Not now. Well...it's probably what you call a reward method. It can't be too frequent. I'm afraid it will go away too quickly if it comes too quickly."

After Jiang Yun finished speaking her mind, she slowly stood up, stretched, and then leaned against the railing, blocking the light from Xu Zhe'an's face, and continued to look at him...

13: 25.

Xu Zhe'an opened his eyes when he heard Jiang Yun's call. Just as he had expected, his head felt extremely dizzy and he yawned one after another.

"Go wash your face. I squeezed a glass of orange juice. Do you want some ice?"

Hearing Jiang Yun's question, Xu Zhe'an nodded.

"Add it."

After saying that, he pushed the lounge chair to the other end of the balcony.

There is just one problem. When I woke up from lunch break the day before yesterday, there was an extra small stool next to me, and the same thing happened today.

It’s strange that everything in the house has its own place.

He stood at the balcony door and turned to look at Jiang Yun, but was met with her contempt.

"What are you standing there for? Go quickly."
