The results of the monthly exam had not yet been released, but the competition had already arrived.
Because she was in a different class, none of the teachers at school took her participation in the competition seriously, thinking she was just there to make up the numbers.
This competition was to be held in the neighboring Hai City. The school chartered three buses to transport students from three different grades.
It was only when they gathered that Shen Jianxi realized Xie Shu was also among them.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me?" Xie Shu walked over when he saw her.
Being asked this, Shen Jianxi knew her expression had likely been too obvious and smiled sheepishly, "I am indeed a little surprised."
"I really didn't expect that classmate Xie Shu would also be participating in the competition." Fu Yi walked up to her. Although he said this, he didn't show any surprise, indicating he had known about it for a while.
Xie Shu's gaze was fixed on Fu Yi's face: "If you can do it, why can't I."
Hearing the hostility in Xie Shu's words, Shen Jianxi, afraid they would start arguing, quickly changed the subject, pointing at the students who had already started lining up and said, "Haha, yes, yes, let's get on the bus quickly!"
With difficulty, she pushed the two unwilling people towards the buses, wondering if it was better to talk on the bus, and why they insisted on arguing under the scorching sun. Was there something wrong with their brains?
The line at the front moved quickly. Although they were at the back, they soon got on the bus.
Because they were late to line up, all the front seats on the bus were already occupied, leaving only the last three-person seat in the back. Looking at the two people who were glaring at each other, she sighed helplessly, pulled Xie Shu's sleeve, and pointed to the inner seat: "You sit inside."
Then she turned to Fu Yi and said, "You sit outside." She sat in the middle.
The teacher in charge of the group took attendance at the front of the bus. After confirming that no students were missing, he instructed the driver to set off.
The two of them were much quieter after getting on the bus, ignoring each other. Xie Shu leaned his arm against the window, watching the scenery rush by, lost in thought. Fu Yi took out two eye masks from his bag, handed one to her, put the other on himself, and leaned back in his seat with his arms crossed.
Shen Jianxi took out the small blanket she had brought. She originally wanted to cover all three of them, but seeing the length of the blanket, she could only cover herself. She then put on her eye mask and fell asleep, imitating Fu Yi.
After an unknown amount of time, she was woken up by the voice of 77 in her mind.
Sleeping on the bus was not comfortable at all. As her consciousness slowly returned, she felt her neck stiffen and wasn't sure if she should move.
"Host, do you really feel nothing?" 77 was very helpless. She hadn't been able to wake her up earlier, and now that she was finally awake, she still seemed unaware.
Her attention had been on her neck earlier, causing Shen Jianxi to overlook the other sensations. It was only when 77 mentioned it that she realized something was wrong.
This, this... was this Xie Shu???
Sensing her body stiffen, Xie Shu knew she was awake. He chuckled softly and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound, you don't want Fu Yi to know, do you?" Su Dan Novel Network
Her eyes were still covered by the eye mask, and this unknown sensation made her even more nervous. Furthermore, with her vision obscured, her senses were amplified tenfold. Her hands were pinned by Xie Shu, and afraid of being seen, she didn't dare to struggle forcefully.
Her teeth bit down hard on her lower lip, trembling slightly from the intense stimulation, and her breathing became unstable from nervousness.
Sensing her change, Xie Shu smiled silently, withdrew his hand, and rubbed her lips. He then pushed her against the seat and kissed her fiercely.
"Xie... Shu..." she struggled to squeeze out these words from between their lips, only to be met with an even more passionate kiss.
In her ears, she could faintly hear Fu Yi's breathing and the whispers of other people. All of this made her extremely tense.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Shu's lips finally left hers. He ran a finger over his own moist lips, looking at Shen Jianxi's lips, which were reddened by him, and let go of her hand with satisfaction.
Regaining her freedom, Shen Jianxi immediately pulled off her eye mask. Her first instinct was to check if Fu Yi had been woken up. However, this action in Xie Shu's eyes was interpreted as her being extremely concerned about Fu Yi, which caused his expression to darken.
Seeing Fu Yi's fingers twitch slightly, he forced a smile and said, "What are you afraid of? If he wakes up, it's good for him to see too."
Shen Jianxi looked at him in disbelief, not understanding how Xie Shu could say such a thing. Was he crazy???
Stung by her gaze, Xie Shu instinctively averted his eyes, but inwardly, he was annoyed by his own actions. He had clearly decided not to be soft on her anymore, but when he saw her gaze, he still instinctively turned away.
He took one of her hands and began to play with it. When she tried to pull it away, he threatened, "Don't move! Or I'll continue."
Hearing this, Shen Jianxi had no choice but to give up the urge to struggle and endured him.
Her surrender satisfied Xie Shu. He said in a cold tone, "As expected, this is the only way you'll listen."
Shen Jianxi's expression stiffened. Xie Shu had been acting well not long ago. Why wasn't he acting today? Did he have a plan? Why was it so sudden?
He clasped their palms together, then interlocked their fingers, holding her hand tightly.
As Shen Jianxi wondered what he would do next, Xie Shu simply held her hand like this and looked out the window quietly.
Fu Yi next to them stirred. Shen Jianxi instinctively tucked their clasped hands under her blanket.
Taking off his eye mask, Fu Yi's eyes were still hazy from just waking up.
Seeing him look towards her, Shen Jianxi gave an awkward smile. She secretly tightened her grip on the hand under the blanket, trying to pull it away, but it was held even tighter.
Fu Yi glanced discreetly at the bulge under her left blanket and understood. Ignoring the slight discomfort, he shifted his gaze to her face: "There's water on your face." As he spoke, he took out a tissue and helped her wipe the skin below her lips.
The hand under the blanket squeezed hers hard. Shen Jianxi suppressed the urge to curse. The dampness there was from Xie Shu's earlier biting, but she couldn't say anything. She could only smile gratefully, "Thank you, maybe... I drooled while sleeping."
She spat out the last half of the sentence through gritted teeth. A chuckle could be heard from beside her.
Shen Jianxi: ...... Her fists clenched again.
Fu Yi didn't say anything, but his gaze paused as he swept over a certain spot on her neck. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. Thinking of the water stains just now, everything became clear.
Xie Shu, as he had expected, still cared deeply about her. This meant that using Shen Jianxi to provoke Xie Shu was the right path, but...
Why was he unhappy?
