Chapter 348: Accustomed to High-Quality Grapes

In the early spring, the campus was bathed in the golden radiance of the warm sun, which painted the flowers, grass, and trees over and over again, presenting a scene full of vitality.

A group of people walked along the asphalt road of the campus.

Hearing that Shen Yan was preparing to participate in the football match that afternoon, Wu Yue'er nudged his shoulder and asked curiously, "You can play football too?" Shen Yan shrugged and said in a free and easy manner, "Isn't it just a matter of having feet to play? Anyway, it's just a bunch of noobs pecking at each other; winning or losing depends entirely on luck."

"Haha!"

Recalling the various ridiculous scenes from the matches three days ago, the others couldn't help but chuckle.

It had to be said that this "noobs pecking at each other" summed it up perfectly.

Luo Qiqi coughed twice: "Actually, He Hongliang and Tang Song from our class have pretty good skills, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to win the first match."

"Yo! So Tang is actually a veteran." Shen Yan looked at him in surprise.

Tang Song smiled faintly and modestly indicated that he often gathered with his friends back home to play football, so he was just a tiny bit better than the average person.

"But Class Two really has some skilled players. I heard that Zheng Baiqiang is on the school team, so the afternoon match doesn't look optimistic."

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yan with a very serious face: "Old Shen, you are strong and fast, so the trickiest person will be left to you."

Adolescence is precisely the stage when a teenager's desire to win is at its strongest.

Even someone as mature as Tang Song was no exception.

Shen Yan nodded indifferently: "Oh! Don't be so serious; friendship first, competition second."

"Hehe! It would be good enough if a certain guy who never does anything without a profit didn't just slack off. When others are running their legs off in front, he'll still be watching the show leisurely in the back." Luo Qiqi had the look of someone who had already seen through everything.

Hearing this, Shen Yan feigned a look of shock and deliberately raised his volume: "Are you secretly observing me often? Otherwise, how could you know me so well?"

"You..."

With one sentence, Luo Qiqi was left blushing furiously again. She glared at Shen Yan, not knowing how to retort for a moment.

Wasn't this a well-known fact? Did it even need special observation?

Several boys were snickering there, and an ambiguous atmosphere arose spontaneously. The girls were lost in thought; Shen Yan was so outstanding that it was no surprise Luo Qiqi would fall for him.

Even Shen Yan himself developed such doubts.

First there was Wu Yue'er, then Chen Shanni; their hearts were like the vast sea, difficult to fathom. Who knew how many others might be secretly pining for him.

However, there was no need to expose such things, lest it make things awkward for both sides. He took the initiative to laugh it off: "Just kidding. Although I'm a bit handsome, a bit rich, and multi-talented, I shouldn't be at the point where everyone loves me yet."

"Ew!"

Everyone was chilled by his shameless rhetoric and showed looks of disdain one after another.

To think there is such a thick-skinned and shameless person in the world—how outrageous!

Arriving at the classroom, the three of them still sat in the last row. Shen Yan was sandwiched between the two women, which made Lin Yang feel all sorts of unpleasantness; in the past, at least there had been a place for him beside Wu Yue'er.

The three of them sitting together were jokingly called the "Three Salted Fish" by their classmates.

Now...

The new generation replaces the old; the goddess would eventually drift further and further away from him.

Recalling the message he received under the covers last night, Lin Yang felt a complex mix of emotions.

Zheng Jiayue: "Since you can't forget that person, then go find her. From now on, we have no relationship whatsoever."

To tell the truth, regarding his first woman, Lin Yang still hadn't figured out what kind of feelings he held for her; there was reluctance, but also relief.

After deep thought for a long time, a thousand words finally converged into one: "Okay."

With this, this short-lived romance came to an end.

Lin Yang became a loner once again.

Returning from the restroom, the class bell rang right on time.

Just as he sat down, Shen Yan suddenly felt his waist being precisely pinched by Wu Yue'er, making him wince in pain. Shen Yan discovered that women all seemed to know this trick.

And it was extremely lethal.

"Are you rebelling? How dare you pinch me." Shen Yan pinched her behind without a word.

*Cough cough! *

It had to be said, the feel was truly good—soft and elastic.

"Mmm!"

The sudden attack instantly made Wu Yue'er go limp all over. Her eyes were like autumn ripples, and she said with a charming, coquettish air: "Who told you to flirt with Luo Qiqi? I won't allow you to have anything with her."

Chen Shanni felt the same way: "I don't allow you to go around flirting with other women."

The two of them could accept each other, but that didn't mean they could accept others.

Shen Yan cried out in injustice: "When have I ever actively provoked women? Isn't it always you guys..."

Before he could finish, two more jade hands appeared on Shen Yan's waist. He swallowed the words that were about to spill out. He grabbed the two jade hands, one in each of his, and while kneading them, he said with a chuckle: "I'm not some lecherous demon who touches everyone. Look at Luo Qiqi's figure; it's barely better than a flat board. If I had that energy, I'd rather be exhausted on you two."

Chen Shanni was so blushed by his words that she spat lightly: "Can you be serious? You say anything that comes to mind."

Wu Yue'er giggled, clearly very satisfied with Shen Yan belittling Luo Qiqi. She puffed out her chest and pulled open her pink Chanel-style jacket, revealing the small white camisole that was stretched into an S-curve.

"Hubby, is my figure ten thousand times better than Luo Qiqi's?"

Shen Yan nodded without hesitation, saying that was a given, she was practically crushed into the dirt. Wu Yue'er smiled like a flower upon hearing this, and her worries were dispelled.

Indeed, other than a pretty face, what was there to see in Luo Qiqi's flat-board figure?

It was even uncomfortable to hold.

Having grown accustomed to high-quality grapes, how could one bring oneself to eat those crooked, shriveled ones?

Chen Shanni was so ashamed by their bold remarks that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

At this very moment, she finally understood why the two of them got along so well.

Their level of openness was staggering; they could be called birds of a feather.

Furthermore, she noticed that Wu Yue'er called Shen Yan "hubby," which made Chen Shanni feel a bit uneasy; she had always called Shen Yan by his full name.

Should she change how she addressed him?

Such an embarrassing form of address, Chen Shanni could not bring herself to say it, yet calling him by his full name felt too distant.

Forget it, it is better to just leave it as it is.
