Chapter 99 - 98 Clinging to You (Part 1)
Zhao Meimei didn’t go to find Wang Jiayue again; she could tell that Wang Jiayue had no good feelings toward her.
Zhao Meimei wasn’t really interested in the whole ’warm face to cold behind’ thing.
The first year courses weren’t particularly difficult for Zhao Meimei, perhaps because all the subjects were still at the beginner level.
In her free time, Zhao Meimei would bury her head in the little books hidden in her desk, which she had snatched from the Fatty Girl sitting in front of her, whose bag was always filled with such small books.
After grabbing a couple of books, Zhao Meimei would usually give her a lollipop or buy her a popsicle when she got a cold drink.
The break between classes was too short, and she couldn’t read but a few pages before the bell rang again. When Zhao Meimei closed the book and turned her head, she saw Xu Xu, with ears turning red, still engrossed in his reading.
Zhao Meimei stretched her neck to peek through the gap where his neck was, and sure enough, the progress on the page was exactly at the part where the female lead whimpered, "No," as the male lead pounced and pressed her down. Then came all sorts of fade-outs, ellipses.
Zhao Meimei pursed her lips, secretly laughing. When she first started reading these kinds of books, her heart fluttered too, but then she lost interest. She preferred reading stories where the maid successfully pinned down the young master, never growing tired of them. While reading, her mind would automatically superimpose her Brother Yangyang’s handsome face onto the male lead, and even the slightly awkward descriptions seemed to become wonderful.
Seeing the teacher entering from the doorway, Zhao Meimei nudged Xu Xu with her arm and quietly reminded him, "The teacher’s coming."
Xu Xu quickly put the little book away, and when he looked up at Zhao Meimei, his fair face was still tinged with a blush that hadn’t had time to fade, and his large, pretty eyes seemed to be brimming with tears.
