Chapter 97

Yan Jin and Yu Shu looked at each other, smiling at the gifts they had given each other on their heads.

Yan Jin touched Yu Shu’s cheek, “When your hair grows longer, I’ll give you a crown.”

She wasn’t sure if there were any cat-ear crowns sold in An Country. Would she seem like a strange person if she specially ordered one?

“Okay.” Yu Shu nodded sweetly, completely unaware of what Yan Jin was thinking, “By then, I want to wear it and marry you.”

Yan Jin laughed, “You’ve already thought about getting married?”

“From the first day we were together, I already thought about getting married.” After saying that, Yu Shu glanced at Yan Jin, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction, “Yan Jin, don’t tell me you’ve never thought about this.”

Yan Jin said euphemistically, “You’re not of legal marriageable age yet. If I thought about it, I would be too much of a beast.”

“I give you the right to be a beast to me.” Yu Shu scratched Yan Jin’s palm, shyly saying, “So you can start thinking about it.”

Yan Jin asked with a smile, “To what extent does this right allow me to be a beast to you?”

Under Yan Jin’s gaze, a blush quickly climbed up Yu Shu’s entire face.

Seemingly feeling that his reaction was too embarrassing, Yu Shu buried his head in Yan Jin’s neck. After a good while, Yu Shu said in a barely audible voice, “You can do the most beastly things to me.”

Yan Jin was amused by Yu Shu’s shy reaction, “Then if you cry at that time, should I continue or not?”

“Continue.” Yu Shu mumbled, “I must be crying out of embarrassment and playing hard to get, not for any other reason. So at that time, Yan Jin, you don’t need to stop.”

After getting Yu Shu’s “permission to be a beast”, Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu, who was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it, and looked forward to their first time even more.

If she could order the cat-ear headband, she would let Yuan Yuan wear it.

Yuan Yuan, who was already unbearably shy just from talking about it now, would definitely cry in an especially pitiful way at that time.

Yan Jin patted Yu Shu’s back, smiling with a profound meaning, “At that time, Yuan Yuan, you will definitely be the most good-looking groom in the world.”

Time flew like flowing water. While their friends were busy nourishing Yan Jin and Yu Shu, a month quickly passed.

An Country had a three-day winter solstice holiday every year. Qingsong Academy advocated a balance of work and rest, so on statutory holidays, it followed the country’s schedule and let the students go for the winter solstice holiday.

After school in the afternoon, students began to leave the academy one after another.

Yan Jin and Yu Shu originally planned to go straight home and wait until the next day to go out. However, Zhou Nongyun insisted on inviting them to attend a warm stove party that evening.

“Attend a party?” Yan Jin, who didn’t like crowds, instinctively refused, “I still have things to do. Let’s make an appointment next time.”

There must be no less than five people at the banquet. Too many people. She would rather stay at home with Yuan Yuan, being affectionate and cultivating their relationship.

Having known each other for so long, Zhou Nongyun naturally also discovered that Yan Jin liked peace and quiet and didn’t like crowds. She smiled and said, “It’s my fault for not making it clear. This banquet is not that kind of large-scale banquet. It’s just a few of us friends getting together.”

Yan Jin didn’t fall for it, “You said a few friends. Can you count them on one hand?”

Zhou Nongyun coughed lightly, “They’re all classmates. Of course you can’t count them on one hand.”

Yan Jin: “The weather is too cold. I don’t want to go out. You guys go and have fun by yourselves.”

Tu Zixuan persuaded her, “It’s just our classmates. We’re all very familiar with each other. It’s no big deal to have a meal together.”

“No, no, no.” Yan Jin shook her head, “Having a meal with more than twenty people at the same table, I feel a bit of psychological pressure. Let’s do it next time.”

[To be honest, isn’t Yan Jin being a bit rude like this? She’s not going to the class gathering. Isn’t she looking down on people too much?]

[How does Yan Jin not liking socializing have anything to do with her looking down on people?]

[The previous commenter is really ridiculous. One-third of the classmates Yan Jin is familiar with were brought into Class A by her. How is that looking down on people in any way?]

……

[If I had a classmate who could bring me along and make my exam rankings keep rising, if she didn’t come to the gathering, I would actually breathe a sigh of relief.]

[To the previous commenter, with your timid appearance, do you consider her a classmate? You’re treating her like a teacher!]

Yan Jin thought she had made herself very clear. Who knew that Zhou Nongyun would raise her eyebrows proudly at Tu Zixuan, “See, I guessed right. I said Yan Jin wouldn’t agree.”
