Chapter 4.2: Tian Shui
“Hmph, you ran over to be under my foot, so it’s like you volunteered.”
“Why don’t you just say my face was magnetically attracted to your shoe?”
“Oh? So you’re saying you’re willing to always have your face under my shoe? Oh my, I didn’t expect you to be such…”
What do you mean by such?!
Judging by her expression, Shi Hai could guess the word she omitted was probably ‘pervert.’
“……”
Alright, I can’t win this argument.
Shi Hai realized that arguing with a woman would always result in him losing.
She always found strange angles and reasons to humiliate him.
After staring at Shi Hai’s face for a while, she suddenly reached out to touch it.
Shi Hai couldn’t react in time and felt her touch his nose.
“Using my shoe is too much… I should go barefoot next time.”
???
Shi Hai was utterly confused.
He realized this senior not only liked to tease people but had an especially whimsical mind.
He had thought she was a socially adept senior, but now he suspected she had some kind of mental disorder.
Seeing Shi Hai’s confusion, she asked curiously, touching her chin.
“Hmm? Do you prefer a harder feel?”
“Is this topic not over yet…”
“Just joking, don’t take it seriously~”
She touched her lips with the finger that had touched Shi Hai’s nose.
“Anyway… don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”
“Hard to believe…”
“Even if you got expelled because of me, you’d just nonchalantly run off to learn cooking in Xinbei, right?”
Actually, I was thinking about learning how to operate an excavator… but it’s close enough?
How does she know what I’m thinking?
Shi Hai was full of questions.
“Because you’re not the type to care about such things.”
Actually, I do care.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be trying to kiss up to you.
But she spoke with such certainty.
As if she knew him well.
Shi Hai felt a strange sensation.
As if he had known her for a long time…
But this was indeed their first meeting.
Given her distinctive personality, he would not have forgotten her if they had met before.
While Shi Hai was still puzzled, she spoke again.
“Tian Shui.”
“What?”
Shi Hai looked up, reflexively asking.
She brushed past him, turned halfway to face him, and declared confidently.
“My name, Tian Shui. Remember it well.”
“Oh, I’m called—”
“Shi Hai.”
“Um?”
Hearing his name from her mouth, Shi Hai saw something fly toward him and quickly caught it.
Opening his hand, he found a key.
Her voice matched perfectly with this moment.
“Here’s the key. Lock the door when you leave~”
After her dazzling figure disappeared, Shi Hai suddenly realized.
I didn’t say my name.
How did she know my name? And my year…
Could it be she already knew me?
Tian Shui… a strange senior.
The afternoon class bell brought Shi Hai back to reality.
Then he suddenly remembered his purpose for coming here.
“I forgot to check the letter…”
There was still time, so he quickly took a look at the love letter to at least find out who it was for.
However, when he flipped through the book, he froze.
“Huh?”
Where’s the envelope? It’s gone!
