Chapter 12 – No One’s Picking me up Today (1/2)

After the lesson, Zhao Yanyan and I were kept back by the geezer to inform us about the benefits of entering the competition, stuff like improving one’s self etc. Most importantly if we received a place in the finals, then it would add marks in the National Matriculation Examination. I was fine with what he said, but Zhao Yanyan was completely tricked by his words, and nodded in agreement.

“No one’s picking me up today,” Zhao Yanyan said quietly when we went down the stairs.

After hearing that, a flower bloomed in my heart, if I didn’t have memories from my previous life then I might not have understood the underlying meaning, but if I still couldn’t understand it now, then I’m an idiot.

“I’ll send you back,” I replied deliberately in a casual tone.

Zhao Yanyan blushed after hearing so and didn’t make a sound, but didn’t refuse either.

Thus, the two of us walked side by side to the bus station without speaking. Finally, I was the one who broke the silence and asked her, “What bus are you taking?”

“Bus 6,” Zhao Yanyan replied quietly.

It might be due to it being her first time being with a boy, so Zhao Yanyan appeared to be very nervous. So I said, “Let me tell you a joke.”

I saw it on the Internet in my previous life that when two people are together, if one doesn’t say anything then the other person will have to continuously find topics to talk about, and the most effective way to close the distance between two people is through jokes, as long as the atmosphere become more lively, then the relationship between the two will improve.

Zhao Yanyan nodded.

Therefore I begun, “A bear and a rabbit pooped in the forest, the bear asked the rabbit, ‘Doesn’t it matter if the poop sticks onto the fur?’ The rabbit replied, ‘It doesn’t matter.’ Thus the bear used the rabbit to wipe his ass.”

Hearing that, Zhao Yanyan covered her mouth, and wanted to laugh, yet tried to hold it in, causing her face to go bright red. After a while, she finally calmed down and said to me, “Where did you hear this joke, it’s so disgusting.”

“If it’s so disgusting, then why did you laugh so hard?” I retorted.

“Who laughed, I didn’t laugh at all,” Zhao Yanyan replied calmly.

I reached over to her armpits and started tickling her, then said, “You’re still not admitting it, let’s see if you’re laughing now!”

Zhao Yanyan quickly dodged to one side, but how could she escape my five finger mountain, she was immediately caught. I caused her to laugh loudly and unrestrictedly.

Suddenly Zhao Yanyan stopped laughing, and looking at me with bright red cheeks, after withstanding my assault for a while, she said quietly, “Move it away quickly!”

“What?” I was really confused. Right afterwards, I felt my right hand grabbing something really soft. What was it? I squeezed it subconsciously.

“Aya, you’re still squeezing!” Zhao Yanyan shouted angrily.

I finally understood, my right hand, was right on top of the softness in front of Zhao Yanyan’s chest, she surprisingly didn’t wear a bra… I took my hands off it while laughing dryly.

All of a sudden, both of us felt really awkward, neither of us spoke. A Bus 6 stopped by the two of us, then drove off.

After a long time passed, I asked, “Are you angry?”

Zhao Yanyan shook her head.

“Sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose,” I said.

Zhao Yanyan nodded, then said quietly, “I know.”
