A Faceful Of Lovey-Dovey PDA - Chapter 6

“What’s wrong?” Sister Fang looked at Lin Xueyin’s dazed expression and smiled faintly. Lin Xueyin felt that Sister Fang was simply too beautiful, practically like a celestial maiden descended to earth, comparable to Su Qin.

At noon, Sister Fang still treated Lin Xueyin to a bowl of noodles. Beef noodles from a small shop, with large chunks of beef sitting in the bowl, sprinkled with a handful of chopped scallions. Stirring it evenly with chopsticks, drinking the soup in big mouthfuls and eating the meat in big bites, Lin Xueyin displayed a heroic boldness she had never shown in her life. She kept feeling that in the blink of an eye, she and Sister Fang were about to go to Liangshan, become sworn sisters, and start a rebellion.

While they were chatting, Lin Xueyin casually asked Sister Fang how much money she could earn in a day. Sister Fang said carelessly that it was a little over twenty yuan. Hearing that, Lin Xueyin felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. Such hard work for an entire day, and she only earned twenty yuan? In the future, Lin Xueyin could not spend her allowance recklessly anymore.

The two of them stayed busy until the sky was half-dark. Lin Xueyin was happily counting money with Sister Fang when, out of nowhere, she heard someone call her from behind. She turned around and saw a bright black Mercedes parked beside them at some point.

From inside the car, a man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out. He walked forward a few steps and picked Lin Xueyin up. “Why are you here? How did you get yourself so dirty?”

Lin Xueyin gave her father a sweet smile. “Dad, this is my friend, Sister Fang.”

In the end, Wang Yanfang was still a child. After seeing Father Lin, she stiffly hid the money in her hand behind her back. “Hello, Uncle.”

“Hello.” Father Lin looked at her and smiled. “Come over to our home to play sometime.” As he spoke, he turned and carried Lin Xueyin toward the car. Wang Yanfang stared blankly at Father Lin, vaguely hearing Lin Xueyin struggling. “What are you doing? I haven’t had enough fun yet. Dad, you’re being very rude. I haven’t said goodbye to Sister Fang yet.”

Father Lin said, “You’re too dirty. Go home and take a bath. Don’t come to messy places like this again.”

Messy places? Wang Yanfang smiled bitterly and shook her head. She put on the hat Lin Xueyin had left behind, whistled, and leisurely rode her bicycle home. As the wind blew over her along the way, the young girl’s self-esteem still rippled faintly in the end.

In the blink of an eye, autumn arrived, and the school organized a sports meet.

Chu Mei had no real interest in it. Instead, she was happy that for the next two days, she could eat and drink without restraint. The homeroom teacher explained that, in order to fight for the class’s honor, everyone should try their best to sign up for a few events they were good at.

During this period of chugging milk like a spring gushing forth, not only had Chu Mei failed to grow taller, she had instead begun developing horizontally. The key area was concentrated on her chest.

In the past, she had been a washboard. In just a few short months, relying on milk, she had successfully turned herself into a cow.

That chest…

The day she had to put on a bra, Chu Mei finally understood that she had been wrong. Borrowing the classic line from A Chinese Odyssey: Once, she had a convenient chest growing on her body, but she did not cherish it. Only after losing it did she regret it beyond reach. There was no pain in the human world greater than this. If Heaven could give her another chance, she would definitely say three words to milk: Get far away. Oh, no, that was four words.

The young Chu Mei still did not know what it meant to take pride in one’s chest. She only instinctively felt that after gaining this chest, running became inconvenient, clothes stopped looking good, and from time to time, she would even receive inexplicable stares from Su Qin, making her very uncomfortable.

Because of this, in order to stop her chest from growing so quickly, she quit both milk and exercise.

Chu Mei was used to being lazy. She lay sprawled over the desk, looked at the registration form, and asked Su Qin, “Ah Qin, what do you think I’m good at? Which event should I sign up for?”

Su Qin, who was doing homework, did not even raise her head. “Shot put.”

Chu Mei: “…”

Although it hurt her pride a little, Chu Mei still listened to the advice of the person who understood her best in this world apart from her parents, and signed up for shot put.

Unlike Chu Mei, who only wanted to muddle through, Su Qin made full use of her advantage in running and basically covered all the running events.

Chu Mei watched with heartache. “Why did you sign up for so many? Won’t you be tired? I saw that a lot of the races are all on the same day.”

Su Qin glanced at her. “I run two kilometers every morning.”

Chu Mei: “…Right. Oh yeah, Ah Qin, I saw that this year’s prizes include spicy strips too. Can you share some with me?”

“Get lost. You’re embarrassing.”

“…”

On the day of the sports meet, Chu Mei’s mouth was stuffed full of spicy strips, and her face was flushed from eating them. When it was time for her to throw the shot put, Su Qin specially accompanied her there.

Shot put was an event for heavyweights. When a girl whose figure looked like it could fit an entire Chu Mei inside her shouted loudly and threw the shot put beyond the standard line, Chu Mei’s mouth would not close.

When it was Chu Mei’s turn, Su Qin smiled at her and cheered for her. Chu Mei threw her a flirtatious wink, used every bit of strength she had, and fiercely tossed the shot put outward.

An amateur was ultimately still an amateur…

Chu Mei’s throw caused panic in the judges’ area. The shot put landed perfectly and squarely on the judges’ table. The table, which had already only been a simple makeshift arrangement, instantly collapsed from Chu Mei’s smash. Because of this, she was eliminated in one throw.

As they walked toward the stands, Su Qin was suffering from holding back her laughter. Chu Mei sighed. “Ai, looks like my slender figure really isn’t suited for shot put.”

“You.” Su Qin tapped her forehead. The two of them were still talking when, out of nowhere, waves of cheering suddenly rang out.

—Sister Fang, good luck!

—Sister Fang, you’re the coolest!!!!

—Awooo, oh my god, Sister Fang, Sister Fang!!!

“…”

Her again…

Although Chu Mei’s impression of Wang Yanfang had improved quite a bit recently, that did not mean she could let go of the way Wang Yanfang had stared straight at Su Qin when they first met.

The two of them followed the cheers and walked over. They saw Sister Fang dressed in shorts and an athletic top, looking extremely professional as she braced herself with a pole and cleared a height that made Chu Mei click her tongue in amazement. Those long legs were simply… The straight boys beside them were about to get nosebleeds from watching. It had to be said, although Sister Fang was a little arrogant, she really was… beautiful.

“Oh my god, does she come with her own special effects?”

After landing on the mat, Sister Fang flicked her ponytail. She waved to her fan group, her expression proud.

“I looked at her events. She signed up for ten by herself,” Su Qin said thoughtfully. Hearing this, Chu Mei’s heart began bubbling with sourness again. So concerned, huh.

Lin Xueyin saw the two of them and ran over. She was holding a camera, acting as the school’s battlefield reporter. “Did you see? My Sister Fang is so handsome she’s killing me.”

“Yes, yes, your Sister Fang is unbelievably handsome.” Chu Mei wished she could immediately push Wang Yanfang onto Lin Xueyin so that Wang Yanfang would stop clinging to Su Qin.

Su Qin looked at Chu Mei with a smile and shook her head. Then she looked at Lin Xueyin. “Why is she pushing herself so hard?”

Lin Xueyin’s smile faded slightly. Others might not know, but after accompanying Sister Fang on that day to deliver milk, she understood very clearly. In order to encourage today’s lazier-by-the-day young boys and girls to work hard, the school had specially prepared exquisite prizes for the sports meet. Things like spicy strips were specially prepared for foodie students like Chu Mei. The big prizes, however, were still school supplies: notebooks, pencil cases, and so on, with more than a dozen given at once. If Sister Fang could win all the events she had signed up for, she would not have to worry about school supplies for the whole semester.

“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Chu Mei waved her hand in front of Lin Xueyin. Lin Xueyin forced a smile. “Nothing.” She could not say anything about this. Although Sister Fang seemed cheerful and sunny, without a hint of inferiority, it was still someone else’s private matter. She could not speak carelessly about it. That day, when her father had directly carried her away, Sister Fang had not said anything, but Lin Xueyin had still felt her indifference and distance.

Su Qin stared at her for a while, then pulled Chu Mei away. “All right, I have to run the eight hundred meters in a bit. Don’t cause trouble.”

“Right, I’ll hurry and help you loosen up.” By “loosen up,” Chu Mei only meant the calf massage she had invented for Su Qin. Su Qin had just finished running the four hundred meters and one hundred meters, taking first and third place, and her stamina had not fully recovered yet before she had to challenge a more difficult event.

As Chu Mei helped massage her, she mumbled, “Usually teachers always tell us to balance work and rest and arrange our studies properly, so why do they become stupid when it comes to themselves? Can’t they space out the running events a little more?”

Su Qin looked at her with a smiling gaze. “All right. I signed up for the eight hundred especially for you. Didn’t you want the spicy strips?”

“Compared to you, what do spicy strips count for?” Chu Mei massaged Su Qin seriously without even lifting her head, but Su Qin’s heart felt as if it had eaten honey. Although the young Chu Mei was always in a state of missing a few nerves, her occasional sweet words could always coax Su Qin until flowers bloomed wildly in her heart.

When it was time for the eight hundred meters, Su Qin stood on the track wearing bib number three and waved at Chu Mei. Chu Mei waved back at her with all her strength. Sister Fang, who had completely finished the pole vault, came over with a lollipop in her mouth. Leaning against the railing, she looked at Su Qin and shook her head. “It’s over.”

“What are you saying?” Chu Mei immediately grew unhappy when she heard that. What a crow’s mouth.

Sister Fang pointed at numbers two and four beside Su Qin. “See them? Those two lazy girls who signed up for the eight hundred.”

They were already running eight hundred meters, and she still called them lazy girls? Chu Mei did not quite understand what Wang Yanfang meant.

Sister Fang looked at her and raised an eyebrow. “Those two girls were the ones who hired me back then to teach your Su Qin a lesson. With them sandwiching Su Qin from the left and right like that, there’s definitely nothing good coming.”

Fuck…

The moment Chu Mei heard that, sweat burst out of her. Without another word, she used her hands on the railing and jumped down. Her figure was nimble, her movements neat and quick. She flipped over several railings in succession, making the homeroom teacher on the rostrum stare in a daze.

Fuck, where did this monkey come from?
