Chapter 2: Embracing

  Jie Xuan felt a dryness in his mouth as he gazed at Lan's sleeping face. He couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that it was truly reassuring to have such a beautiful woman sleep so soundly in front of him. In the past, this would have been impossible for him. But after being reborn, his mindset had changed greatly. That kind of irresponsible and opportunistic behavior was something he wouldn't do now.

  But saying these words also made Jin feel more comfortable in his heart. He stood up, stretched his arms and kicked his legs, although he was a bit tired, but he could still endure it.

  He Yuanyuan on the stone bench suddenly moved, her body shrinking tightly together, her eyebrows furrowed, looking cold and very uncomfortable.

  Liu Yifei was shocked in his heart. At this time, although it was already the end of May, the weather was still very hot during the day. Jin had walked for half the night and was now in a small grove by the water's edge, where the temperature was extremely low. Moreover, He Yuexian was sitting on a cold stone bench, which made it even easier to catch a chill. And if a girl caught a cold, that wouldn't be a good thing at all.

  He had wanted to take off his clothes to cover her, but the thin shirt he was wearing would have little effect in keeping out the cold. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yifei walked over to He Yuanyan's side and carefully lifted up her head before sitting down and placing it on his lap. His hands were then placed on her arms, which made her sleep more comfortably and feel warmer. Of course, the best way would be to hold her in his arms while sleeping, but Liu Yifei knew that if he did that, He Yuanyan would definitely misunderstand him when she woke up. So this was the only thing he could do.

  It seems that this has had some effect, Jin He Yuetian's tightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed, and her arms actually lifted up and touched Liu Yifei's back. Jin probably felt the warmth of Liu Yifei's back, and her hand somehow reached into Liu Yifei's clothes, sticking to his skin. Immediately afterwards, another hand came around from the front and also went inside, making it seem like she was embracing Liu Yifei's waist, resting against his leg in an ambiguous posture.

  Liu Yifei was speechless, Jin Huoyan was really playing with fire, but she also knew that at this time, she was just making unconscious movements after falling asleep, and it was better to endure the strong irritability in her heart and calm herself down.

  Fortunately, He Yuanyan didn't make any further moves and Jin Liuyifei gradually got used to this posture. However, the feeling of fatigue inevitably crept over his heart. In the end, he fell asleep without knowing when or in what position.

  I don't know how long I slept, but Liu Yifei only felt like she was pushed and then her body thudded to the ground. Suddenly, something heavy pressed down on her body, and she hurriedly opened her eyes in a daze.

  "Whoosh! You, what are you doing?" He Yuanyan's voice echoed in his ears with a sob.

  Liu Yifei was completely awake with a start. At this time, the sky had already brightened up. He was lying on the grass beside the stone bench, and He Yueman was pressed against his chest. His arm was tightly wrapped around He Yueman. Liu Yifei quickly let go of He Yueman, who immediately stood up in a panic, her hands hurriedly adjusting her clothes.

  Liu Yifei also jumped up, Jin thought for a moment and already knew what was going on. Jin smiled wryly and said: "He Yuexuan, don't misunderstand, yesterday night I saw you sleeping very cold, so I let you rest your head on my leg to sleep. Who knew that later on, I couldn't hold on either, and also fell asleep."

  What month Yan was tidying up her clothes, what she cared about most was that her most sensitive parts were not unusual at all, and her body was warm and cozy. She immediately knew that Liu Yifei's words were not in vain. The sorrow had gone, but the shyness still lingered on her heart. She lightly wiped her eyes and said: "Then you can't sleep on someone else's body either."

  "I really don't know if I should apologize to Ni." Liu Yifei's heart was pounding, recalling that he had actually fallen asleep on He Yuanyuan's body for half the night yesterday, but unfortunately didn't get to experience that wonderful feeling.

  He Muyan naturally didn't know what Liu Yifei was thinking at this time, but instead, looking at Liu Yifei's somewhat flustered appearance made her feel warm in her heart. A boy who had protected her for one night and a boy who had told her stories to help her fall asleep, it seemed that he had already slightly opened the door of her tightly closed heart as a girl. As she looked at Liu Yifei, the blush on her face grew more intense, and she quickly turned her head away, pretending to tidy up her somewhat disheveled hair.

  Liu Yifei's ability to handle problems is naturally stronger than He Yuanyan's. The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, and Liu couldn't help but laugh and say: "Let's focus on our studies! Learning oral English in the morning is more effective. Let's practice together later. After the teaching building opens, you go inside first and don't come back to the dorm."

  "Hmm." He Yuer nodded obediently.

  Liu Yifei stretched his waist and lay on He Yuanyan's body, but he didn't sleep well that night either. At this time, his body was a bit sore. Liu Yifei stretched his arms and kicked his legs, and ran two laps in the small woods before his body slowly recovered to normal.

  Youth is good, want to stay up late and boil for a night, the next day will definitely not be so easy to recover. Second, even if you don't stand out, your body still needs to exercise well, can't wait until you're over 30 and can't do anything. Liu Yifei had this feeling again.

  Calling out to He Yuanyan, she started practicing her oral skills again. At first, it was still a bit unnatural, but looking at Liu Yifei's calm and composed face, she quickly recovered. Last night, the two of them leaning on each other made He Yuanyan feel even closer to Liu Yifei, although not to the point of romance, but when Liu Yifei was by her side, she indeed felt a sense of security and warmth.

  There were voices coming from the dormitory side, and the teaching building on this side also opened. He Yuanyan quickly slipped into the teaching building, while Liu Yifei turned back to the dormitory.

  "Where did you sneak off to again last night, you little brat?" Zhong Xin Fen finally got out of bed and stood in the middle of the dormitory with his massive body, daring anyone to try and pass by him.

  "Every time I go to my sister's house, Jin, you should do what you need to do. I'm going to change clothes." Liu Yifei had already thought of an excuse.

  "Whatever! Go to your older sister, yeah! You're also a dog, you've become promiscuous, but relatives can't get married." Zhong Xin's small eyes blinked, with a face full of ambiguity.

  "Get out of the way!" Liu Yifei gave Zhong Xinfeng a kick. Zhong Xinfeng immediately turned his body sideways, and only then was Liu Yifei able to squeeze past him.

  "Are you kidding me? Today's my birthday and you kick me the moment you come in? That really hurts my fragile little heart!" Zhong Xin turned around, looking at Liu Yifei with a sulky face.

  "Fortunately, I really forgot about this matter. If not, we would all kick you once and consider it a birthday congratulation."

  Everyone looked at him with a sarcastic gaze, and Zhong Yun suddenly scolded, "You are all beasts!" and then slipped out of the dormitory.

  Liu Yifei gathered his things and arrived at the classroom, where there were already many people inside. As soon as he entered, Jin Zheng immediately stopped whispering to He Yuexuan and looked over at him with a hint of a smile still on her face. He Yuexuan, on the other hand, kept her head down and didn't look up. Liu Yifei also responded with a smile before walking calmly past them and returning to his own seat.

  Because Liu Yifei returned to the dormitory a step earlier, the boys naturally wouldn't think that Liu Yifei's overnight absence was with He Yuexuan. Of course, the main reason is that Li Ya didn't say much about it, otherwise, if two people didn't come back together, it would inevitably raise suspicion.

  After a day of classes, after the seventh class, Jin and a large crowd of people came out of school in a mighty manner. Jin gathered Lin Miao at the school gate and walked together to Liu Bowen's restaurant.

  This is a Chinese restaurant with two floors. The first floor is the main hall, which has six or seven tables inside. The second floor has five private rooms. If it were ten years later, this would only be considered a mid-range restaurant. However, at that time, it was already a pretty good restaurant.

  Liu Bo's father was very enthusiastic about this group of classmates and immediately arranged a big feast. A dozen or so dishes were served, but knowing that everyone would have to return to their evening self-study session later, he only provided a few bottles of beer, with the rest being soft drinks.

  Everyone is a classmate, although there isn't much interaction between boys and girls in school, but in this kind of environment, everyone quickly opens up and chats and laughs together, it's really lively.

  Lin Huan was a bit older than them, but after all, she was only 21 years old. Moreover, she wasn't the kind of person who was silent and taciturn. Plus, her dressing style that stood out from other girls made her an object of admiration for many boys. She also played very happily.

  Such gatherings are completely different from the ones Liu Yifei attended before his rebirth. At that time, even if everyone was having a good time, they still had to be careful with their words and not speak recklessly, because no one knew which sentence would offend someone, especially leaders. Offending them would lead to big trouble in the unit.

  Now Liu Yifei doesn't need to worry about these things at all, she can say whatever she wants without any burden. Very soon, she completely regarded herself as a 17-year-old high school student and fully integrated into the party. From time to time, she would tell two classic jokes that had been circulating online, making everyone laugh uncontrollably.

  Young people sometimes get a bit too proud, Li Ya suddenly stood up and loudly said to Liu Yifei: "Liu Yifei, shouldn't you show some respect to me?"

  "What does it mean?" Liu Yifei's heart was shocked, and his eyes immediately turned to He Yuexuan. But at this time, He Yuexuan's face was also tense, obviously not expecting Li Ya to confront Liu Yifei in front of everyone. However, she couldn't stop Li Ya now, or it would be like trying to cover up a mistake.

  Half a day's time, 52 monthly tickets, although it's double the usual amount, but also the most since "Tomorrow" was put on shelves. The gold subscription is just average, but I'm already full of confidence and will definitely use strong updates to repay everyone. Of course, I also hope that everyone can continue to use their monthly tickets to keep "Tomorrow"'s book at the top of the charts.
