Chapter 212 Aren't we familiar with each other?
Warm water cascades down from the showerhead overhead.
Yun Yang leaned lazily against the edge of the bathtub, her eyes half-closed: "Li Yuan, why were you so fast this time?"
Li Yuan's face darkened visibly.
He turned around abruptly and strode out of the bathroom.
Yun Yang heard two loud "bangs" coming from the living room, as if someone was messing with something.
A short while later, Li Yuan returned.
Holding the little clothes she had just changed out of, he walked silently to the sink, turned on the tap, and began to scrub her face without expression.
Damn table!
Who made it suddenly rise again at the most crucial moment!
And that was it...
It's been almost a month!
He's been holding back for almost a month!
I'd been looking forward to tonight for ages, only to be left wanting more.
Yunyang has recently developed faint dark circles under her eyes from studying so much.
He was too embarrassed to bother her again and ask her to go through his silliness one more time.
Yunyang picked up the showerhead and playfully sprayed water onto his bare legs.
"Didn't you insist on doing something funny on the table?"
"Why are you blaming it on the table?"
Water droplets splashed on his legs and slid down his firm calf muscles.
"I'm regretting it."
His voice was very low.
Yun Yang watched his aggrieved back, stood up from the bathtub, and walked over barefoot without even drying herself.
A warm, soft body pressed tightly against his back from behind.
"Hello."
Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying the scent of freshly bathed water.
Why are you being so well-behaved today?
Li Yuan almost dropped the clothes hanger he had just picked up.
He froze.
The next second, he threw the clothes hanger out of the bathroom door.
He turned around abruptly, scooped her up from the ground, and held her tightly in his arms.
Two dangerous flames burned in his eyes, and his voice became hoarse.
"You weren't satisfied?"
Yun Yang's feet were lifted off the ground by his embrace, so she had no choice but to stretch out her arms and hug his neck tightly.
She leaned close to his ear and said, "Mmm."
That single word was like pouring a bucket of oil on a blazing fire.
Why didn't you say so earlier! Aren't we familiar with each other?
...
Half an hour later.
Most of the water in the bathtub had already spilled out.
Yun Yang, feeling utterly weak, clung to his shoulder and asked breathlessly.
"Is it...almost there?"
Li Yuan kissed her while giving her a muffled reply.
"Yes, it'll be soon."
Another hour passed.
Yunyang felt like a dehydrated fish, lying there listlessly.
Why aren't you here yet?
Li Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat, but his voice carried a hint of triumphant laughter.
"This time it's really fast, Yangyang, hang in there a little longer."
I don't know how much time has passed.
Yun Yang didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
She regretted it.
I really regret it.
I shouldn't have provoked him again.
...
The next morning.
Yunyang was forcibly woken up by the alarm clock.
She felt as if her body had been repeatedly run over by a truck, and every bone in her body was screaming in pain.
I forced myself to get out of bed and, holding onto the wall, moved to the dining room.
Li Yuan was humming a song as he brought out a steaming bowl of food from the kitchen.
"Yangyang, come and try these wontons I made for you myself."
In a white porcelain bowl, plump wontons float on the clear soup, sprinkled with bright green scallions and golden egg strips, emitting a fragrant aroma.
It looks really good.
But Yun Yang's eyes were fixed on Li Yuan.
Why are you only wearing an apron?
Li Yuan sat down beside her, naturally placing his arm on her shoulder and pulling her closer to him.
"To seduce you."
He leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice.
"What if you haven't had enough to eat yet?"
As he sat down, a large gap appeared in the poor piece of fabric covering him.
With just a slight tilt of her head, Yun Yang could see the impressive six-pack abs and V-line beneath her apron.
But I felt nothing at all; in fact, I even felt a bit like hitting someone.
I was so tired last night.
She looked away, picked up a spoon, scooped up a wonton, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.
The taste was indeed delicious.
But she kept a cold face and said something in a low voice.
"If I fail this exam, it's all your fault."
...
Two months later.
Yun Yang, whose life essence was drained by the fierce demon, really failed the exam.
She was completely dejected.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
Li Yuan cupped her face in his hands and gently kissed her forehead.
“Our baby has tried so hard, it’s my fault for not taking good care of you.”
Yun Yang's eyes immediately reddened.
She lowered her head in frustration, her voice thick with a nasal tone.
“I’ve never had a talent for learning foreign languages since I was a child… Mingyue has already passed.”
"How could that be? Our Yangyang is the smartest person in the world," Li Yuan awkwardly comforted her.
The more he said that, the more Yunyang felt a surge of grievances.
Tears were about to fall.
"Oh dear, my baby, don't cry, don't cry."
Li Yuan immediately became flustered.
He gently wiped away her tears with his hand and soothed her softly.
"It's just an exam, it's okay, we'll definitely pass next time!"
"Come on, let's not study anymore, it's a holiday today! I'll take you out for a walk to clear your head and change your mood!"
"Only when you eat and drink well can you have the energy to keep working hard, right?"
He dragged Yunyang out the door.
The two wandered aimlessly until they were finally captivated by the aroma of a fried food stall on a street corner.
Yun Yang's eyes lit up instantly.
"I want fried dumplings!"
The two sat side by side on small stools at the shop entrance, each holding a paper bag, enjoying their meal immensely.
"Oh my god! The dumplings are amazing! The outer skin is crispy, and the filling is still juicy!"
Yun Yang's cheeks were stuffed full, but she still urged the person next to her to hurry up.
"Try it!"
Li Yuan took a bite and handed over the lotus root slice in his hand.
"These lotus root slices are delicious, especially crispy! And this big sausage, it bursts with juice when you bite into it!"
As he spoke, he spotted a dessert stall not far away.
"They sell pudding over there, let's buy two later!"
“Okay!” Yun Yang nodded immediately. “Dessert is a must! I also want to eat strawberry daifuku…”
After eating and drinking their fill, the two strolled hand in hand down the street to digest their food.
As Yunyang passed by an arcade, she suddenly stopped.
Pointing to a row of claw machines by the door.
"Peppa Pig! Li Yuan, grab one!"
Li Yuan exchanged some game currency.
After eight attempts, the paw only weakly touched Peppa's forehead each time before retracting it powerlessly.
Li Yuan felt that was enough; these machines usually had a minimum of ten cycles.
"Yangyang, you try it."
Yun Yang frowned and waved her hands repeatedly.
"I can't do it, I have the worst luck, I definitely won't catch it."
Li Yuan ruffled her hair and said with a smile.
"So what if we can't catch them?"
"See, I can't catch it either."
"It's no big deal. If all else fails, we can buy the whole machine, bring it home, and let you catch it every day, slowly and steadily."
Yun Yang suddenly froze.
yes.
So what if we can't catch them?
It's a waste of ten or twenty yuan, but it's not a big deal.
Perhaps it's because I grew up in that kind of environment.
She wouldn't dare fail an exam even once.
Otherwise, I would have been working in a factory long ago.
So what if she fails the exam? Even without money or Li Yuan, her parents will still support her for life.
The sky won't fall down.
Yun Yang's lips unconsciously curved upwards.
So what if the sky falls?
Anyway, she's short.
If anyone's going to smash something, it should be Li Yuan, that tall guy who's 1.9 meters tall, first.
The gloom in Yunyang's heart vanished, and she felt capable again.
He grabbed the remaining game coins from Li Yuan's hand.
"I'll do it."
He gripped the joystick, his eyes fixed intently on Peppa Pig.
Its claws landed precisely, firmly grasping the round body.
Get up! Get up!
Just as it was about to reach the cave entrance, its claws suddenly trembled as if it had Parkinson's disease, and then it let go.
"Clatter".
Peppa fell back into the pile of dolls.
Yunyang refused to believe it and put in two more coins.
"I refuse to believe it!"
The second attempt failed.
...
All ten attempts ended in failure.
The gloom over Yunyang's head gathered again.
"I'll try again." Li Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her away from the machine and took over himself.
He'd already tried eighteen times; he refused to believe he couldn't catch one even after twenty tries.
As a result, four more coins were put in, and Page didn't even move its nest.
"..."
Forty dollars can't even get you a single plush toy?
This machine is rigged!
The air was silent for two seconds.
Yun Yang suddenly raised her foot and kicked the machine's metal casing twice.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled thuds were particularly clear in the arcade.
"What are you doing! Why are you kicking my machine!" A middle-aged boss with a cigarette in his mouth peeked out from behind the curtain and shouted.
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, my wrist was gripped by a warm, large hand.
"run!"
Li Yuan gave a low shout and pulled her outside.
The two disappeared from the arcade entrance in an instant, like two gusts of wind.
The shop owner chased after him for a couple of steps, looked at the empty street corner, and went back cursing.
The two ran for two blocks before stopping and leaning against a wall, panting heavily.
Li Yuanxian couldn't help but look at her and chuckle softly.
Yun Yang met his gaze, her lips curved into a smile.
The afternoon sun was just right.
It illuminated their slightly flushed faces.
