Yan Jin rubbed her hand. “I had nothing to do, so I found something for myself to do.”
Although Yan Jin knew this was Yu Shu’s little “revenge”, her wrist strength was indeed lacking. Writing while suspended helped improve wrist strength, so she filled up a wall as Yu Shu said.
Seeing Yan Jin constantly rubbing her hand, Yu Shu felt a bit conflicted inside and muttered softly, “I was just joking with you. How could you take it seriously.”
“Because I felt your suggestion had merit.” Seeing a hint of guilt and self-blame in Yu Shu’s eyes as he looked at her, Yan Jin paused and explained, “It was mainly because I was bored, so I wrote a bit to pass the time.”
“Passing time shouldn’t be done like this either.” Yu Shu mumbled. Seeing Yan Jin still rubbing her hand, her technique and strength all over the place, rubbing for a long time wouldn’t alleviate the soreness and could even aggravate it.
Yu Shu sighed and reached out to hold Yan Jin’s wrist. “Look at how smart you usually are. How could you not even know how to rub your hand at a critical time like this.”
“Teacher Yu, is there some trick to rubbing hands?” Seeing Yu Shu’s action, the corners of Yan Jin’s lips curled up slightly. “You taught me writing. Why not also teach me how to rub my hands?”
Yu Shu felt a bit uncomfortable being looked at by Yan Jin. He avoided her gaze and lowered his head, using his hand movements to conceal that bit of abnormality in his heart.
“I won’t teach you.” Yu Shu’s words were tough, but the strength he used to rub Yan Jin’s hand was very gentle. “Teaching you writing nearly angered me to death. If I teach you hand rubbing too, I’m afraid you’ll anger me into the hospital.”
“Teacher Yu, I’m not as exaggerated as you say.” Yan Jin looked at the right hand being gently rubbed by Yu Shu and hinted, “Besides, even if I cause trouble, don’t you clean up after me?”
“I’m not cleaning up after you, I’m being kind.” Yu Shu also felt guilty. As he rubbed Yan Jin’s hand, he couldn’t help but mutter, “I’ve never seen someone as foolish as you. You really write when told to write. Usually you don’t listen to me this much.”
Yan Jin laughed. “You’re the first person to call me foolish.”
“That’s because they haven’t seen through your essence.” Yu Shu glanced at her. “I think you’re just foolishly silly. The most foolish person in the world is you.”
The smile at the corner of Yan Jin’s lips deepened. “No matter how foolish I am, don’t I have a little fool rushing to help me rub my hands?”
“I’m doing a good deed for the day!” As soon as Yu Shu finished saying that, he reacted to what Yan Jin said in her words and resentfully pinched Yan Jin’s palm. “You gave me a nickname again!”
Yan Jin frowned and cried out in pain. “It hurts.”
Actually, the strength Yu Shu used to pinch her was very light and didn’t hurt at all. Yan Jin was just deliberately pretending to be in pain to tease Yu Shu.
“Ah? Did I hurt you?” But Yu Shu took it seriously. His face changed color and he repeatedly said “sorry”, carefully holding Yan Jin’s hand and gently blowing on it. “I’ll blow on it for you, and it won’t hurt anymore after blowing. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pinched you so hard.”
Seeing Yu Shu so flustered and at a loss, Yan Jin felt a bit guilty. “I was deliberately teasing you. It doesn’t hurt at all actually.”
Deliberately teasing him? Doesn’t hurt at all?
Realizing this, Yu Shu angrily threw down Yan Jin’s hand and turned his head away. “Yan Jin! You’re teasing me again!”
[Oh! My silly baby, you finally realized Yan Jin was teasing you.] [Damn, although I’m a mom fan, that scene of the kid subconsciously blowing on Yan Jin’s hand nearly turned me into a girlfriend fan.]“Really angry?” Yan Jin tilted her head to observe Yu Shu’s expression. Seeing him unmoved, she called out to him again. “Yu Shu? Teacher Yu? Unlucky little brother? Panda’s big brother? Little piggy? Delicate little thing? Little fool?”
When Yan Jin said the first nickname, Yu Shu could still pretend not to hear. But Yan Jin said six nicknames in a row, and Yu Shu couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Stop!” Thinking that Yan Jin had given him so many nicknames, Yu Shu angrily pinched Yan Jin’s face. “Yan Jin! How many nicknames have you given me in total? Confess! Otherwise, face pinching awaits!”
Caught off guard by Yu Shu’s face pinch, Yan Jin came back to her senses and saw Yu Shu’s empty threat. Instead of quitting while ahead, she escalated and viciously pinched Yu Shu’s cheeks with both hands. “Little rascal, whose face do you want to pinch?”
