After Becoming the Love-Brained Female Lead’s Best Friend - Chapter 36

At noon, Fang Shu walked out of the cafeteria together with Ye Wanyin, dragging along the same exhausted appearance she had worn all morning.

On the way, they ran into quite a few classmates from their own class, as well as a few students from other classes who were fairly familiar with Fang Shu. By the time they reached the teaching building, Ye Wanyin had almost never seen Fang Shu’s hand lowered.

Only after Fang Shu finally put her arm down and there were no more people around greeting her did Ye Wanyin take the chance to ask, “How exactly can you be fully charged?”

Fang Shu glanced at Ye Wanyin, who was still cooperating with her even outside the classroom. For some reason, she suddenly felt as if something had poked her heart.

Her gaze seemed to casually sweep Ye Wanyin up and down. Only after looking her over so thoroughly that Ye Wanyin shivered did Fang Shu slowly say, “We’ve held hands already. The next step should be hugging, right?”

Ye Wanyin immediately hugged her.

But Fang Shu dodged at once.

Ye Wanyin looked at Fang Shu, who had moved several steps away, not understanding why. Fang Shu shifted her gaze to the students going up and down the stairs around them. Then she walked one step closer to Ye Wanyin and deliberately said vaguely, “You should be a little more reserved. There are so many people around.”

Ye Wanyin withdrew her hands.

Then, when they reached the classroom and returned to their respective seats, Ye Wanyin could hardly wait to ask, “It should be fine now, right?”

As she spoke, she moved to hug Fang Shu again. However, Fang Shu still dodged with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Fang Shu, who had not expected Ye Wanyin to be so unreserved, flushed slightly and patted Ye Wanyin’s arm. “There are still people in class.”

Ye Wanyin: “…”

Ye Wanyin, who was trying to get Fang Shu charged quickly so she could hurry up and do questions, fell silent for a moment. Then she said to Fang Shu somewhat weakly, “We’re both girls. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Hearing Ye Wanyin’s words, Fang Shu seemed to finally react.

Right. She and Ye Wanyin were both girls. What was there to panic about?

And so, this time, when Ye Wanyin hugged her, Fang Shu did not push her away again.

It felt about the same as in her dream last time. Ye Wanyin’s soft arms circled around her waist, and that warmth carrying a bit of heat passed through the thin shirt and invaded her. Fang Shu could not help tightening her waist and abdomen, as if she had been burned.

Only after a long time did Fang Shu slowly relax her body, almost sinking into it as she let the body beneath her shirt press against the other girl’s arms.

“Are you fully charged?”

Fang Shu collapsed in Ye Wanyin’s arms and almost gave a sigh of enjoyment. “Charging in progress.”

For the convenience of hugging, Ye Wanyin moved her chair a little closer to Fang Shu. At first, Ye Wanyin was the one hugging Fang Shu and leaning toward Fang Shu’s side. Later, it became Fang Shu falling into Ye Wanyin’s arms and leaning toward her side.

Fang Shu closed her eyes, somewhat drowsy.

Noisy voices came from the back door. When they passed Fang Shu’s seat, they seemed to be blinded by the scene in front of them and all muttered “damn” before lowering their voices and walking away.

It was not until Li Ming and Zhang Xiao entered one after another while roughhousing that the two boys, both not short, saw the scene in the front row the moment they came through the door. Greatly startled, they let out a “what the hell,” attracting the attention of the whole class, including Fang Shu’s.

Li Ming ignored the strange gazes of the surrounding classmates. Instead, he straightened up and leaned toward the front row. Looking at Fang Shu, who had turned over and was still lying in Ye Wanyin’s arms, Li Ming wore an expression of deep pain and disappointment.

“Sister Fang! How can you be like those little girls and casually hug your little sisters all the time?!”

In the distance, Xu Yang and her best friend, who felt personally attacked, immediately cast their gazes this way, full of doubt. “What’s wrong with girls hugging? Not only do we hug, we also kiss!”

As she spoke, Xu Yang lowered her head and fiercely kissed her best friend on the cheek, making a loud mwah sound.

The surroundings erupted into cheers.

Even Fang Shu watched in amazement.

As expected of the leaders of the yuri world. Fang Shu felt she should learn from them.

Li Ming no longer had the heart to look at them. His jaw had already been shocked off by the best-friend duo in the distance. Then his voice grew even more pained. “As girls, can’t you two be a little more reserved?! In broad daylight and in public, what kind of behavior is this?!”

Then he viciously went, “He-tui!”

Something was thrown over from afar. Fang Shu only saw Li Ming dodge, then shout cheaply over there, “Can’t hit me~”

Ye Wanyin lowered her head and looked at Fang Shu, who had the expression of someone watching a show. She asked, “Do you feel charged now?”

Fang Shu lifted her head and glanced at this mood-ruining person above her, then said, “Ninety percent, I guess.”

So Ye Wanyin said nothing.

The class remained noisy for a few more minutes. When a certain critical point arrived, it gradually quieted down. Fang Shu sat up from Ye Wanyin’s arms, clasped her hands together, and stretched with very small movements. Then she said to Ye Wanyin, “I’m fully charged.”

Ye Wanyin nodded, then handed Fang Shu her homework. She was afraid that if she waited a little longer, Fang Shu’s standby mode would drain the battery again.

Fang Shu looked at the notebook in front of her. This time, she did not feel much resistance. With a perfectly natural expression, she took it, picked up her pen, and began doing questions.

Ye Wanyin, who was watching beside her, also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as efficiency could be maintained, that was a good thing.

Perhaps the effect of hugging was quite good. This time, Fang Shu maintained her efficiency until evening self-study. Not only did she finish the homework Ye Wanyin had assigned her at noon, she even completed the additional questions Ye Wanyin added afterward.

Faced with this scene, Ye Wanyin felt hopeful.

So when she saw Fang Shu wilt again, without needing Fang Shu to remind her, Ye Wanyin took the initiative to hug her, gathering Fang Shu fully into her arms. While Fang Shu relaxed, Ye Wanyin also took the opportunity to think about the next study arrangements.

Fang Shu’s foundation was very poor.

It would be somewhat difficult to greatly raise her score in a short period of time. But if Fang Shu was willing to study, it was not entirely impossible either.

The main issue was probably the remaining year.

Even if Fang Shu really raised her grades within a short time and reached the score line for university, Ye Wanyin would have to leave in three months. After she left, how would Fang Shu stabilize her grades?

Ye Wanyin could not help sighing inwardly with worry.

That evening, Fang Shu and Ye Wanyin returned home together. Ye Wanyin marked the place in the vocabulary notebook where Fang Shu had last memorized and handed it to her.

Fang Shu took it, then immediately collapsed onto the sofa.

Ye Wanyin, who had already seen this many times, immediately walked forward and hugged Fang Shu into her arms.

Fang Shu poked her head out of Ye Wanyin’s embrace, then said to Ye Wanyin with a somewhat serious expression, “I have to tell you some very unfortunate news.”

“What?” At this moment, Ye Wanyin had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. She only looked at Fang Shu somewhat strangely.

Fang Shu sighed. “I suspect I’m about to be scrapped.”

Ye Wanyin, who had completely failed to keep up with the rhythm, looked at her in confusion. Only after hearing Fang Shu’s next sentence did she finally understand.

“When a phone is used for too long, its power consumption increases. When a charger is used for too long, its charging efficiency decreases. I feel like your charging speed has slowed down.”

Ye Wanyin: “…”

Fang Shu sighed heavily.

Ye Wanyin felt like she needed oxygen.

After a long time, Ye Wanyin finally said with some difficulty, “It’s only been one afternoon.”

Fang Shu comforted her. “I’m also very sorry that this happened.”

Ye Wanyin silently stared at her. She stared until Fang Shu’s eyes were about to grow nervous. Only then did Ye Wanyin say somewhat coldly, “I think compared to changing chargers, what you may need is a repair.”

Fang Shu, who also had not realized the seriousness of the matter, looked at Ye Wanyin with a trace of anticipation. “How do I get repaired?”

Kabedon? Forced kiss? Or something else…

As Fang Shu drafted her behavior in her mind, she thought that if Ye Wanyin really pounced on her later, she absolutely had to turn the tables and bring out the confidence of a 1/top.

Ye Wanyin dug out the questions from her schoolbag that Fang Shu had not finished during evening self-study because she had said she was tired. She pressed them directly into Fang Shu’s arms and said very calmly under Fang Shu’s slightly dazed gaze, “Your current battery should be enough to support you finishing these questions.”

Fang Shu tried to throw the notebook onto the coffee table while saying, “Impossible. Not supported. Can’t finish. I need to charge right now.”

Ye Wanyin forcefully pulled her up from the sofa. Before Fang Shu could almost fall down again, Ye Wanyin caught her, then helped her sit properly. After making sure Fang Shu would not collapse, she freed one hand to take a pen from her schoolbag.

Once everything was ready, Ye Wanyin stuffed the pen into Fang Shu’s hand and said to her, “It’s fine. I’ll hold your hand. Although the charging is very slow, with just this little bit of questions left, you can definitely finish before your battery runs out.”

Fang Shu looked at the notebook in front of her and took a fierce breath of oxygen. She tried to lean backward but was stopped by Ye Wanyin, so she could only verbally reason with her. “It’s not good to consume battery while charging.”

Ye Wanyin said coldly, “It’s fine. Who doesn’t play games while charging?”

Fang Shu, feeling offended: “…”

Fang Shu argued with reason, “This isn’t the same…”

Ye Wanyin nodded in agreement. “It really isn’t the same. A phone will explode if charged too long. At most, if you charge too long, you’ll sleep and be fine. After waking up, you can continue doing questions.”

The expression on Fang Shu’s face faded. The corners of her mouth collapsed as she looked at Ye Wanyin with a gloomy face.

Ye Wanyin was unmoved. She simply held Fang Shu’s hand and reminded her before she could start giving up, “You’ve already charged to fifty percent.”

Fang Shu looked at their hands, which had been held together for less than ten minutes, and unhappily frowned. “It’s clearly not even five percent!”

Ye Wanyin did not want to argue this issue with her. After all, this was just a matter of whoever was tougher having the right to speak.

There was not much time left to begin with. Ye Wanyin decided not to keep indulging Fang Shu.

The two of them remained in a stalemate for several minutes, neither willing to compromise. Finally, Fang Shu moved Ye Wanyin’s hand away and gave a snort. “I’m going into standby mode!”

Ye Wanyin: “…”

Ye Wanyin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. “You would rather go into standby than do questions, right?”

Fang Shu looked at the person opposite her, whose expression did not look very good, and inexplicably felt a wave of guilt. “Uh…”

Ye Wanyin leaned back against the sofa, looking as if she had given up on herself. “Do you not want to study?”

…That was not exactly it.

Fang Shu silently picked up the pen. This time, she did not care about how much battery she had left. She opened the notebook and began working through the questions.

When Fang Shu became serious, her efficiency was at least fairly high. A big question that might originally have taken her one or two hours without finishing was now filled out with steps in a dozen minutes.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Fang Shu never once called out that she needed to recharge. Ye Wanyin did not look at her either. She only leaned back against the sofa, looking as if she had not yet recovered from giving up on herself.
