Chapter 070

The water of the Nanjiang River was clear and sweet, but Pei Baizhi felt that the water sliding down his throat was as cold as ice, like poison.

Pei Baizhi had drunk half of it and was about to return it to Yu Shu, but he saw Yu Shu’s eyes curved, and he said softly, “Baizhi, don’t be polite. This whole water bag was specially prepared for you by me.”

Pei Baizhi’s heart tightened. If he drank the entire water bag, he would definitely become weak and lose face in public.

Pei Baizhi was about to refuse, but he heard Yu Shu say, “Although you may be in pain and sweating like I was before, with your clothes smelling of sweat, the Nanjiang water is very beneficial for our future childbearing. You can’t let my thoughtfulness go to waste just because you’re afraid of embarrassment.”

The people around them saw how considerate Yu Shu was to Pei Baizhi and also urged him to finish drinking.

Left with no choice, Pei Baizhi had to drink the entire water bag.

During the class, Pei Baizhi was indeed in so much pain that he couldn’t stand, and he collapsed directly on the ground. Yu Shu was the first to step forward to support him, and said in a voice that others couldn’t hear, “How does it feel to suffer from your own trick?”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Miss Yan about this?” Pei Baizhi gritted his teeth. “Women don’t like fierce men. If Miss Yan knows your true colors, do you think she will avoid you like a snake or scorpion?”

Yu Shu’s eyes turned cold, and then he “anxiously” said, “Baizhi, your hairpin is about to fall off. Let me fix it for you.”

When Yu Shu took off the “almost falling” hairpin, he broke the exquisitely crafted wooden hairpin with force, right in front of Pei Baizhi’s horrified eyes.

Finally, Yu Shu even smiled gently and said, “I don’t want Xiaoxiao to know about this. You should be able to do that, right?”

[I’m a bit scared by Yu Shu smiling while breaking the wooden hairpin. He’s so two-faced.] [Damn, I can’t believe Yu Shu’s hands are so strong.] [Yu Shu has an eight-pack and V-line. His core strength is strong enough to do hula hoops while suspending in the air. His hand strength shouldn’t be small. Just a guess, may not be accurate.]

In fact, Pei Baizhi was right. Yu Shu indeed didn’t want Yan Jin to know about this side of him, so he deliberately chose a time when Yan Jin was not around to force Pei Baizhi to drink the Nanjiang water.

Although he now held a significant place in Yan Jin’s heart, Yu Shu still didn’t want to show any inappropriate side of himself in front of Yan Jin. Yu Shu didn’t want Yan Jin to see him being petty, unforgiving, and pressuring Pei Baizhi step by step.

Even if he was in the right, what if Xiaoxiao saw him forcing Pei Baizhi and thought he was narrow-minded and cruel-hearted?

Yu Shu didn’t dare to bet on this possibility, so when Pei Baizhi threatened him, he threatened Pei Baizhi back.

Xiaoxiao was in the male dormitory, and apart from him, she didn’t know anyone else. As long as Pei Baizhi didn’t say anything, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t know about this matter.

Yu Shu’s plan was very good, but he underestimated the jealousy of men.

Although Pei Baizhi didn’t tattle, another student who admired Yan Jin went to “advise” Yan Jin.

That night, just as Yu Shu was about to go find Yan Jin, he suddenly found a familiar classmate who he hadn’t spoken much to blocking Yan Jin’s way. “Miss Yan, please wait!”

Yu Shu paused, and for some reason, instead of stepping forward to stand by Yan Jin’s side, he chose to hide behind a pillar and eavesdrop on their conversation.

“This classmate, I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” Yan Jin said, “What’s the matter?”

“Please lend me a moment to speak, Miss Yan.” That classmate said softly, “It’s about Ah Yu.”

Yu Shu’s heart tightened, and he immediately thought of the things he had hidden from Yan Jin.

Just as he was hesitating whether to come out or not, Yan Jin spoke, “Is it to praise Ah Yu? I have time now, you can speak slowly.”

Although Yan Jin called Yu Shu by his nickname in private, she had never called Yu Shu by his nickname in public.

Nicknames were too intimate and only suitable for calling between the two of them in private. If she called him that in public, those friends who were close to Yu Shu would definitely also call him by this nickname.

That wouldn’t do.

Yan Jin couldn’t control what Yu Shu’s friends from before the traversal called him, but in this world, only Yan Jin could call him by this nickname.

The corner of Yu Shu’s mouth twitched, but quickly curved up subconsciously.

This Xiaoxiao was so annoying, she actually liked to hear people praise him.

“No.” That classmate hesitated, “I originally wanted to say these words to Ah Yu, but good advice is harsh on the ears. I’m afraid Ah Yu won’t listen. So I wanted to borrow Miss Yan’s mouth to persuade him.”

“Since it’s good advice that’s harsh on the ears, then there’s no need to say it.” Yan Jin said without hesitation, “My husband is smart and well-behaved, a perfect person without any flaws.”
