My older brother often told me that Jiang Huan was not a thing.*
Chu Tangtang carefully surveyed the boy slumbering on the desk, half of his face pressed into the bend of his arm, revealing only his handsome nose and lightly furrowed brows disturbed by the light.
She had an untimely thought, although he might not be a thing, he was really good-looking, even the curvature of the sunken eye sockets was also good-looking
“What are you looking at?” Jiang Huan opened his eyes at some point, and his black eyes stared at her blandly.
“Looking at you, you are good-looking.” Caught in the act, Chu Tangtang sheepishly tugged at her earlobe.
Jiang Huan paused for a moment and then his eyes gave a sweeping glance around the classroom.
It was evening self-study time. In the first year of high school, the evening self-study time was voluntary and students could decide whether they would like to attend the session. It was also only managed by patrol teachers.
Students who have just entered their first year of high school have no sense of urgency yet, as such there are only a few people scattered about in the classroom.
Coupled with his ‘big name’* out there, the rest of the students sat very far away from them.
No one was paying attention to this side.
He came closer to her fine alabaster* neck, his hot breath burning.
Chu Tangtang wanted to hide, but a hand hotter than the breath clasped her waist, and a low, husky voice pressed against her ear, “Want it?”
Scraping his thumb ambiguously against her thin waist, he added, “You smell good.”
Her breathing was also slightly ruffled, and the temperature on her face rose sharply: “I have used your body wash.”
Jiang Huan gave a low laugh: “No wonder you smell so good.”
Chu Tangtang covered his eyes that were flooded with emotion, pressed down his rebelling palms, and trembled as she gathered her two legs: “This is a classroom.”
Jiang Huan had always been someone who wins an inch, wants a foot*: “Then go to my house after self-study?”
“No,” with her sanity faltering, and she resisted the urge to say yes, “my brother is coming to pick me up.”
Jiang Huan: “……”
Chu Tangtang’s brother Chu Qin and Jiang Huan did not like each other and it was no longer anything new.
Logically speaking, she and Jiang Huan would not have socialised at all. But she skipped a grade and, coincidentally, was in the same class as Jiang Huan.
As Chu Qin’s sister, she did not say that she shared the same enemy with her brother, but should at least keep a distance from Jiang Huan.
But it just so happened that the class teacher arranged for her and Jiang Huan to be seated at the same table.
The class teacher wanted them to sit together to encourage each other and improve together because they were both going to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition in a month.
Hope was hope after all.
Jiang Huan knew that she was Chu Qin’s sister, and after becoming a tablemate, he never looked at her directly.
However, this relationship underwent a sudden change after the preliminary round.
Jiang Huan’s room was just across the hall from hers. The teacher who led the school team called to ask her what Jiang Huan was doing, why he wasn’t answering his phone, and to make sure she brought Jiang Huan to dinner.
She had no choice but to jump out of bed, run to the opposite door and knock twice.
A few seconds later, a boy with no expression and only a bath towel tied around his lower body opened the door.
She was very close to the door, so the boy’s upper body with damp moisture hit her eyes, messy hair stuck on the side of his head, revealing a bare forehead, deep pools of black eyes staring at her, water droplets flowing down his muscles into the pure white bath towel. Past the bottom of the towel, there were two long, straight legs.
What attracted her attention was the firm chest, the forearms covered with thin muscles, and the abs that she wanted to feel in her hands.
The strong visual impact made Chu Tangtang take a half step back.
She looked again at Jiang Huan’s white to glowing, tightly muscled belly and thought there was no loss. Anyway, he was the one who opened the door without his shirt on.
As her mind wandered off, she relayed the teacher’s words, “What are you doing? Teacher He called us to dinner?”
The boy’s dark eyes were on fire, his mood was unpleasant, and he lost patience with the annoying person’s sister, hooking his lips mischievously: “I’m watching an action movie, I don’t have time to go.”
The content of the film spoke for itself. / xmeowx: I love the how the first chapter starts ^^/
Chu Tangtang did her duty: “Go eat first, and then you can continue to watch when you come back?”
Jiang Huan had a second of consternation, he pressed his forehead, raised a frivolous smile, thinking of scaring her: “Hm? This kind of thing can wait just because you say it can wait?”
Jiang Huan already expected her to blush and flee in embarrassment.
The girl in front of him lifted her head, her tone serious, with a hint of curiosity: “Really, can I go in and watch the film with you?”
