Chapter 76: Sleepless Night (2/2)

A key factor to differentiate the two meanings would be that in one situation, the girl’s face would appear to be pretty angry and disgusted. In the second situation, her face would be pretty reddish.

Zhao Ying was obviously the girl in the second situation.

Yang Ming couldn’t help but feel some attraction when he saw Zhao Ying flirting with him. Yang Ming was different from those boring people like Wang Zhitao and Jin Gang. He was from the group of people who took action; he did whatever he wanted to do!

Yang Ming’s heart rate increased as he looked at this undeniably beautiful girl. Noticing how there was no one else around them, he couldn’t stand it and he held Zhao Ying’s soft hand. He looked straight into her eyes and said, “Ying Ying, you are really beautiful...”

Zhao Ying had already realized that Yang Ming wasn’t behaving like usual. The whole couple-like atmosphere made her heart race. Ignoring her age and identity, the man in front of her would definitely melt her heart. That sense of safety that she got from him was definitely from her heart!

However, Zhao Ying was slightly older. Listening to how Yang Ming was saying “Ying Ying” and looking at Yang Ming’s deep expression through his eyes, she knew that things were going to go wrong!

No matter which angle you viewed it from - the two of them, one was a teacher and the other was her student. Zhao Ying wasn’t able to accept that! She knew that the two of them shouldn’t continue this way, as it would be bad for the both of them!

“Hehe, Yang Ming, still joking with Sister Ying!” Zhao Ying suddenly laughed. “Why are you showing no respect for your elders!”

After hearing Zhao Ying’s words, Yang Ming was slightly confused. Then he shook his head awkwardly and said, “Haha, yeah...”

Was Zhao Ying really just thinking of their relationship as brother and sister or teacher and student? Yang Ming was disappointed. He couldn’t help but laugh at himself, Do you think this is a web novel? You want to chase after a teacher. Don’t you know your capability?

For Zhao Ying, she was able to understand Yang Ming’s disappointed expression. Yang Ming didn’t feel good, but neither did she. When Zhao Ying said the phrase “no respect for your elders”, she felt like her heart was a glass bottle that had fallen from a great height - it shattered into pieces. Did I really fall in love with the guy in front of me? Zhao Ying couldn’t believe it herself. However, she firmly remembered that shattered feeling in her heart.

With that scene just now, Zhao Ying’s and Yang Ming’s mood had turned around. They stopped a taxi. Once Yang Ming sent Zhao Ying back home, he returned home himself.

Initially, Zhao Ying wanted to ask Yang Ming how he knew about “Hello Kitty”, but she was in no mood now. That saved Yang Ming from explaining, even though he wanted to say that he saw it at Zhao Ying’s house unintentionally last time.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Chapter Notes:

[1] The other meaning for 讨厌 is hate. But it is commonly used in the Chinese language to mean flirt, with the meaning that’s aligned with “don’t say that!” or “oh, stop it, you!” after girls felt shy by what was said, in a rather flirtatious manner.
