Chapter 66: Gentle Words and Faint Smiles

  Two people strolled through the small woods, Liu Yifei casually conversed with He Yuanyan in simple English, while He Yuanyan still felt struggling, often when Liu Yifei said a sentence, she needed to repeat it one or two times before she could react and then respond in more cultured English.

  After a while, He Yuanyan said with some annoyance: "Am I too stupid? Always so slow?"

  Since she was in elementary school, her academic performance has always been among the top in the class and in the school. English has also been one of her strong subjects. However, when facing Liu Yifei, this classmate, she felt that there was a huge gap between them, which made her feel uncomfortable.

  Liu Yifei knew that He Yuexuan's confidence had been hit, and at this time, he also smiled slightly, saying: "You don't have to belittle yourself, English is not our mother tongue after all. Every time we hear a sentence in English, we need to react with the corresponding Chinese in our brains, and then think of suitable English to say from our mouths, so it's naturally more tiring."

  "But you said it so fluently, without even thinking about it." He Yuerou pouted, looking dejected.

  "Hmm... Do you know how long I've been practicing? You've only learned for one day and you're already at a genius level."

  "Really?" He Yuanyan looked at Liu Yifei with some disbelief.

  "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? Do you think I'm just making this up as an excuse to get close to you and chase after you?" Liu Yifei teased He Yuexuan with a smile.

  "What's wrong with you and Liu Yifei? You two are fine, aren't you?" she said with a smile.

  "Hmm... you think so too?" Liu Yifei smiled and asked He Yuexuan.

  "This isn't what I think, but what everyone thinks. What kind of girl Wang Ke is, we all know. Who has ever seen her take the initiative to find a boy? Moreover, you're in the same school as her. If you say there's nothing between you two, no one would believe it."

  Liu Yifei burst out laughing, but immediately lowered her voice. Although the place was secluded, at this late hour when people were asleep, if she laughed loudly, it would definitely be easy for others to hear. "I didn't expect He Dabao's beauty to be so gossipy too. I thought you weren't interested in these things at all."

  "What's with the blush on your face? Usually, she indeed gives people this kind of feeling. She said: "Is that what they call gossip? I'm just curious about you, if you were with another girl, I wouldn't bother to care, but Wang Ke is really special, she's always shy, usually when talking to boys her face turns red, and yet she had the courage to come find you in front of our class, that takes a lot of guts."

  "Oh... really." Liu Yifei responded vaguely, but at this time he remembered that his clothes were still with Wang Ke. If He Yuexuan knew that Wang Ke was wearing his clothes, who knows what she would think.

  "Heh heh... won't you dare to admit it? A real man should have the courage to take responsibility for his actions! You're not even as brave as Wang Ke, are you?" He Yuyan used her provocative tone on Liu Yifei.

  What month is Yan, a 17 or 18-year-old high school student, using the method of stimulation to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei naturally heard it and smiled, saying: "What's not dare to admit, just that there's nothing, if I admit it, wouldn't it harm Wang Ke? Between us, we can barely count as friends, or maybe not even friends."

  "What month is it? She raised an eyebrow in disbelief, but a girl talking to Liu Yifei about this wasn't quite right either. She smiled and said: "You're here to practice your oral English with me, how did you bring up this topic?"

  "What a big beauty, is this what you brought up?" Liu Yifei was somewhat speechless, only to discover that whether it's mature women or young girls, they all seem to have a bit of a liking for rascals.

  He Yu Yan chuckled and said: "This time I'll speak first, you follow me in conversation."

  "Hmm." Liu Yifei nodded and continued practicing with He Yuexuan.

  Half an hour's time passed quickly, and it was almost ten o'clock. Liu Yifei said: "Well, let's stop here for today. This is not something that can be practiced well in one day or one night. The most important thing is to persevere."

  "Mm." He Yuer nodded, seeming to be somewhat hesitant. Once she devoted herself to studying, she was very serious about it. However, she also knew that it was too late now, and if she delayed any further, she wouldn't be able to get into the dormitory.

  Liu Yifei and He Yuexuan walked out of the small woods, accompanied her to the edge of the playground, saying: "I'm watching you here, can you be afraid?"

  He Muyan turned her head and glanced at Liu Yifei, suddenly having an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Liu Yifei didn't directly send her to the dormitory entrance, apparently not wanting her to be misunderstood by others. Now the playground was also pitch black, which made her, a girl, feel somewhat uneasy. However, with Liu Yifei watching over her from this side, she could at least feel less afraid. She had never met such a considerate and understanding boy before. That string in her heart seemed to be gently plucked as well. She nodded lightly and said, "Mm, thank you, I'll go first."

  "Go ahead, don't worry, I won't say anything out of place." Liu Yifei waved his hand at He Yuexuan with a slightly sly smile on his face.

  "Hmm." He Yuetian nodded again, then turned and walked towards the playground. She took two steps, then turned back to wave at Liu Yifei, before quickening her pace. However, after walking more than ten meters, she looked back at Liu Yifei again, waved once more, and then ran across the playground in a small jog.

  Her long skirt fluttered, her long hair flew, and He Yuexuan looked like a fairy maiden about to sink into the moon's shadow. Liu Yifei was enchanted, unable to deny that even if he had been reborn, he still had an indescribable feeling towards He Yuexuan. This feeling wasn't like the vague infatuation of his 17-year-old self, but it was a lingering love that couldn't be shaken off. It was a compensation for the regrets of his past life and also because of He Yuexuan's heavenly beauty and national color, which still attracted Liu Yifei after his rebirth.

  Looking at He Yuanyan's long skirt fluttering behind her, a smile appeared on the corner of He Yifei's mouth. He knew that in this life, as long as he made an effort, he would not be completely without opportunity like in his previous life.
