Chapter 117: Chapter 115: Brother Sifan, I’m Set on Being Your Girlfriend

That evening.

Jiang Yixia came out of the bathroom.

She had just tried on those clothes before taking a shower.

Although she had feigned annoyance at him, seeing the clothes he had so carefully picked out still stirred her emotions.

But the thought that he actually remembered her size made her face burn.

She lay in bed, recalling the scene of her and Lu Fan walking down the street that evening.

The feeling was strange, yet familiar.

It was as if scenes from eighteen years ago were replaying before her eyes.

Combined with the way he had protected her, pulling her behind him today, Jiang Yixia’s face grew even hotter.

She bit her lip, her breathing growing slightly ragged.

Finally, she turned on her side and fell asleep...

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Qiang, who had been suspended for a week to reflect on his actions, was finally back at school.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He was clearly the one who had gotten beaten up.

But in the end, he was the one who received a warning from the school.

Yet Jiang Sifan got away with it completely.

Moreover, Mr. Lin had warned him time and again not to provoke Jiang Sifan, suggesting he might have a mysterious family background.

But according to Lin Qiang’s private investigation, aside from attending classes, Jiang Sifan spent most of his time working part-time jobs.

How was that anything like a rich kid from a wealthy family?!

’Cowards have no future!!’

After much thought, Lin Qiang decided to find someone to get revenge on Jiang Sifan.

He happened to learn that Jiang Sifan was close with a girl and that they often went out together.

So Lin Qiang planned to find an opportunity to teach them a good lesson.

As for Jiang Sifan.

Since it was Saturday.

He arrived at He Lingyi’s house that evening as scheduled for their tutoring session.

As it happened, He Lingyi’s parents weren’t home. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Only her grandmother was there, looking after her.

But since her grandmother was hard of hearing, she stayed in her room and rarely came out.

You could say that while the cat’s away, the mice will play.

The moment He Lingyi saw Jiang Sifan, she excitedly rushed forward. "Teacher Jiang! Guess if I improved in math this time!"

Hearing her say that, Jiang Sifan figured she must have improved. He guessed, "I’m guessing you improved by five points."

He Lingyi grew excited. "How did you guess so accurately! You got it right."

"Looks like I’ll be able to complete the mission your mom gave me ahead of schedule," Jiang Sifan said with a smile.

Hearing this, He Lingyi quickly asked, "What mission did my mom give you?"

"Your mom said she’d be satisfied if you could just score over seventy on the final exam. You’re almost there now," Jiang Sifan replied.

He Lingyi’s eyes darted around. She asked tentatively, "That doesn’t mean my mom will stop letting you tutor me after I hit seventy, does it?"

"I don’t think so. She’s more worried that once you hit seventy, you’ll be satisfied and won’t want to be tutored anymore."

"Of course I’ll still want tutoring." He Lingyi sidled up to Jiang Sifan, wrapped her hands around his arm, and even snuggled against him. "Hee hee, I just love spending time with you."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s keep a respectable distance." Jiang Sifan, ever the rational one, immediately pulled his arm away.

The more shocked Jiang Sifan looked, the more pleased He Lingyi felt.

She feigned a pout and said aggrievedly, "I’ve improved so much, and a certain someone isn’t even going to show a little appreciation~"

"Then what kind of appreciation do you want?" Jiang Sifan asked with a laugh.

"How about this? Let’s play a game~" He Lingyi said excitedly.

"What game?"

"Truth or Dare."

As she spoke, He Lingyi pulled out a stack of cards. "The rules are simple. We play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses has to choose Truth or Dare, and the winner draws a task from the cards."

Hearing this, Jiang Sifan grew suspicious. "These Truth or Dare cards... they’re not too risqué, are they?"

He hadn’t played much, but he’d seen online how some people playing this game ended up having to kiss each other on the lips.

It was like an adult version of a murder mystery game.

He Lingyi quickly explained, "Don’t worry, I’d never mess with you. Besides, if you really don’t want to do something, it’s not like I can force you, right?"

After hearing this, Jiang Sifan thought she had a point.

To reward He Lingyi and give her more motivation in math, Jiang Sifan ultimately agreed to play the game.

"Okay, let’s play rock-paper-scissors~"

In the first round, He Lingyi played rock, and Jiang Sifan played paper.

Jiang Sifan won.

He Lingyi, however, was very excited. She said to Jiang Sifan, "I choose Truth."

"Okay."

Jiang Sifan drew a card from the Truth pile and read it aloud: "Have you ever been in a relationship? How many times? Please answer truthfully."

After reading it, Jiang Sifan felt it was a bit inappropriate to ask He Lingyi such a question. Just as he was about to draw another...

To his surprise, He Lingyi answered frankly, "Never. I don’t like any of the boys at school~"

"Oh, okay." Jiang Sifan breathed a sigh of relief at her answer.

It wasn’t that he was worried about whether she’d been in a relationship or not.

It was mainly that he felt he shouldn’t be asking such private questions.

If she had started sharing the details of a relationship, it would have been too awkward.

After all, he had just recently gone through a breakup.

He was just a heartbroken, single guy.

He Lingyi didn’t seem to mind at all. She excitedly said to Jiang Sifan, "Quick, quick, let’s keep going."

Unable to resist her urging, Jiang Sifan had no choice but to continue playing.

"Rock-paper-scissors~"

This time, He Lingyi played scissors, and Jiang Sifan played rock.

Jiang Sifan won again.

He Lingyi pouted and said with a hint of envy, "You’re so good at this! How do you keep winning?"

"Just lucky, I guess," Jiang Sifan chuckled.

"Well, I’m choosing Dare this time," He Lingyi announced.

Jiang Sifan drew a card from the Dare pile.

He then read it: "The person being penalized must do ten burpees."

He thought this was a pretty suitable penalty.

After all, with the stress of her senior year of high school, it wouldn’t be bad for her to get some exercise.

He Lingyi didn’t refuse. She moved a chair to the side, cleared some space, and started doing burpees.

At first, Jiang Sifan didn’t think much of it. He watched her seriously, even counting out loud, "One, two, three..."

But gradually, he realized something was amiss.

Namely, that He Lingyi’s figure was simply too good.

Plus, she was wearing loose-fitting pajamas.

So when she jumped, her prominent cleavage was rather dazzling.

Jiang Sifan lowered his head slightly, his face red as he continued to count.

He had actually noticed before that He Lingyi had a great figure, but he never expected her to be so... uninhibited in her pajamas!

"Finished!~"

After finishing, He Lingyi was a little out of breath, her chest heaving.

Seeing this, Jiang Sifan dared not look at her any longer.

Noticing his face was red and hot, He Lingyi asked curiously, "Teacher Jiang, what’s wrong?"

"N-Nothing," Jiang Sifan said, blushing.

"Let’s keep playing then."

"Maybe... maybe we should stop. Let’s start the lesson," Jiang Sifan said, deciding it was best not to play this kind of game anymore.

But to his surprise, He Lingyi disagreed.

She hadn’t won a single round against Jiang Sifan yet.

Naturally, she had to win before she would stop.

Unable to withstand He Lingyi’s nagging, Jiang Sifan finally agreed to one more round.

They tied a few times in a row.

But then, He Lingyi finally managed to win a round against Jiang Sifan.

He Lingyi asked Jiang Sifan, "Do you want Truth or Dare?"

Jiang Sifan thought for a moment and said, "Truth."

"Okay."

He Lingyi drew a card. Her eyes darted about for a moment before she announced, "The question is: how far did you and your ex-girlfriend get?!"

Hearing this, Jiang Sifan’s eyes widened. He asked in disbelief, "For real? It’s actually that kind of question?"

"It’s real!" He Lingyi handed him the card to see for himself.

Jiang Sifan couldn’t believe it was really such a question. He frowned and said, "These questions are way too risqué."

"How is that risqué? Isn’t it a normal question?" He Lingyi pressed. "Come on, I’m not asking for details. I just want to know how far you got."

Jiang Sifan’s face grew redder as he stammered, "Well..."

"Let me guess, then. Did you two kiss?" He Lingyi asked like a curious child.

Jiang Sifan nodded. "Yes."

"Then... did you two... do it?" He Lingyi continued to ask.

Jiang Sifan froze for a second, not processing the question.

Then he said in shock, "How can you ask a question like that?"

"What’s wrong with it? I’m already an adult. Besides, I’m not a little kid. I’ve probably seen just as many American and European movies as you, if not more. How else do you think my English grades are so good?" He Lingyi answered calmly.

Jiang Sifan chose to refuse the question. "I’m not answering. Alright, let’s start the lesson."

Seeing how flustered and nervous he was, she immediately guessed, "So that means you two didn’t actually get to that point, right?"

"We are not talking about this anymore." Jiang Sifan immediately opened the math worksheet and said, "You got all of these problems wrong. Copy them ten times as punishment."

"What? You’re repaying kindness with cruelty!"

"Are you going to copy them or not? If you don’t, even if you improve next time, there’s no way I’m taking you to the amusement park."

"Fine, fine, I’ll copy them."

Although He Lingyi was being punished by having to copy the problems ten times, she was secretly thrilled.

’At the very least, based on this, Jiang Sifan is still pure.’

At this thought, He Lingyi couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement.

’This handsome guy in front of me is like a clean sheet of paper.’

She just had to wait another six months. In half a year, He Lingyi would graduate after taking her college entrance exams.

’Then, I’ll be able to leave my own mark on that clean sheet of paper!’

Furthermore, He Lingyi had secretly changed her dream school to the Jinling Institute of Technology.

Her goal was to be at the same school as Jiang Sifan.

’In the future, I’ll be his junior and his girlfriend!’

’Brother Sifan, I am going to be your girlfriend!’
