67 If You’re Happy Then It’s Okay
From her desperate, ready-to-die posture, if she had said “Don’t touch me, you pervert, or I’ll kill myself in front of you”, that would have been understandable. But what she said just now was completely the opposite.
If he didn’t kiss her, she wanted them to perish together. What kind of bizarre scenario was this plot from?
However, the profound power surging from Elder Cousin indicated she wasn’t just saying it for show. If he didn’t do as she said, she might really go berserk!
Damn it, why did things turn out like this? There wasn’t this kind of plot in the script at all, who added it in?
Right, it was Meng’er! She brought Elder Cousin Ruyu here, even playing the feelings card to make him go soft and let them stay as sparring partners.
That naughty girl not only added scenes for herself, she even instigated Elder Cousin to do the same.
After beating Lan Ke, he’d have to settle the score with her properly. If he doesn’t spank that little perky butt of hers red, then he’s not Yan Zhen!
(Yan Meng’er: Achoo! Hm? Is someone thinking of me? Could it be Cousin is missing me? Hehehe~)
Yan Ruyu had already activated the Recording Mirror and set it to the side facing them. As expected, she probably wanted to use it as leverage against him.
Because after eating the pill he gave her, she exposed her wanton side. In order to turn the tables, she wanted him to also willingly show a flustered side.
Plus, the night before last, he used underhanded tactics to make Elder Cousin cry. With her grudge-bearing personality, she definitely thought about getting back at him!
This was settling new and old scores together, he was going to get caught.
Whatever, in any case, he’d do as Elder Cousin said to resolve the situation first.
Kissing was doable, but he had to steady his wandering thoughts to avoid deviating from his character setting.
Yan Zhen closed his eyes, silently adjusting his breathing. At the same time, he recited the “Original Pure Heart Formula” in his mind – “Women are all pigs’ trotters” – before opening his eyes again, gazing down at Elder Cousin’s beautiful face from above.
“Then I’ll really kiss you.”
Yan Ruyu originally had a sharp look in her eyes, an expression of “Kiss me or don’t even think of leaving”, all cutely fierce. But hearing Yan Zhen was really going to kiss her, she became shy again.
“You, hurry up.”
Yan Zhen didn’t waste words either. Looking at Elder Cousin’s tender, glossy cherry lips, he lowered his head and kissed her.
“Mm!”
Yan Ruyu’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, the hands hugging Yan Zhen also tightened unconsciously, ten fingers clutching the clothes on his back.
Following Yan Zhen’s lip and tongue’s attack, the shyness and stubbornness between Yan Ruyu’s brows gradually melted. Under the influence of passion and desire, her gaze turned hazy, then greedily responded.
Yan Zhen originally thought kissing a couple times would be enough, but Yan Ruyu suddenly turned the tables on him, tightly sucking on him, unwilling to let go.
Time passed bit by bit. Only when both of them had difficulty breathing did Yan Ruyu release his mouth. Face flushed red, panting nonstop, Yan Zhen also had a dazed expression. Because of the lack of oxygen, his mind went blank. His whole body lazily lay on Elder Cousin’s chest, pillowing on her high, towering peaks, breathing heavily.
If someone saw the state the two of them were in right now, they would definitely think they just had an intense physical tussle.
Feeling Yan Ruyu’s hands no longer restraining him, Yan Zhen immediately rolled over, sprawling next to Elder Cousin like a salted fish.
“Is this enough, Elder Cousin?”
Yan Ruyu lay on the ground, the back of her right hand pressed against her forehead, eyes half-lidded. She lightly “Mm-ed”, her left hand quietly putting away the Recording Mirror.
“We’re even now, so everything that happened just now doesn’t count, forget all of it!”
“…Okay.”
If you’re happy then it’s okay!
“Let’s rest a bit, then train again after waking up. You must be tired too.”
“Mm.”
The atmosphere was silent and stiff, but neither of them had any intention of breaking it.
Whether it was Yan Ruyu or Yan Zhen, after training for a day, they were indeed both a bit tired.
The night grew darker and darker. Inside the martial arts field, it was as bright as day. Under the lights, two figures lay together, quietly falling asleep.
Half-dreaming, half-awake, Yan Zhen seemed to hear a woman’s whimpers. There wasn’t a sad undertone, rather it had an alluring charm that made his body feel a surge of heat.
However, before really heating up, Yan Zhen fell completely asleep again.
When Yan Zhen woke up, Yan Ruyu had already recovered, standing to the side reaching her hand out to him:
“It’s almost dawn, get up and let’s continue training.”
Yan Zhen yawned, very naturally placing his hand in Elder Cousin’s, pulled up by her.
After eating medicinal pills in place of food, the cousins began sparring again.
This time Yan Ruyu was on the offensive, Yan Zhen could only stand in place passively defending, using Qigong Finger and Qi Vortex Technique to disrupt Elder Cousin’s attacking rhythm.
The training continued until afternoon. The two finally opened the martial arts field’s big doors and walked out, dragging their tired bodies.
A gust of hot wind blew towards them, making their complexions look a few shades worse.
“Not taking a bath for two days, my whole body stinks. Let’s hurry back.”
*Sniff sniff* “It’s not bad, Elder Cousin, you don’t smell.”
“Don’t come near me, I meant you.”
“Ugh…”
Bickering listlessly while walking out the academy gates, then flagging down a carriage, the two cousins clambered into the carriage, leaning against each other exhausted, heads touching. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they had a very close relationship.
“Thanks, Elder Cousin.”
“Who wants your thanks, I was just doing what I should.”
“Elder Cousin, your tsundere act is too classic.”
“Who’s tsundere!”
“Tsunderes are out of fashion now, Elder Cousin…”
“I said I’m not. Hmph, forget it, shut your mouth, I’m dead tired.”
Returning to the estate and knocking on the big doors, the one who came out to greet them was Yan Meng’er.
The younger cousin who had worried herself sick over them, seeing the obviously shortened distance between the two, was so relieved that tears glimmered in her eyes.
— Thank the heavens, Elder Cousin is finally starting to shed her tsundere personality and can face her feelings for Cousin directly.
“Cousin, Elder Cousin, you’re back. How was the training?”
“Don’t ask anything, right now I just want to eat, bathe, sleep.”
“No problem, Meng’er and Instructor Yu Xuan already prepared a big meal for you in advance.”
“Good girl, I’m going to pig out, then wash up nicely, then enter dreamland.”
“Hey, Yan Zhen, didn’t you just say to let me bathe first!”
Yan Ruyu slapped Yan Zhen’s arm. Yan Zhen glanced over:
“You said it, I didn’t agree. Didn’t you say I stink? Then what’s wrong with me bathing first?”
“I don’t care, I want to bathe first. My body is all sticky and gross, it’s killing me. Only the hot spring in the bathhouse can save me.”
“I’m uncomfortable too, I also need the hot spring’s salvation.”
“You just have to fight me for it, huh?”
“You’re the one fighting me for it.”
The two stopped walking, glaring at each other.
Seeing this, Yan Meng’er hurriedly inserted herself between them, playing peacemaker:
“Hey hey hey, Elder Cousin, Cousin, don’t argue. You can compromise – just bathe together.”
“You, what nonsense are you saying Meng’er, who wants to bathe with him…”
“Heh, Meng’er’s suggestion is spot on. I have no objections.”
“You– Scoundrel!”
“Bleh bleh bleh~”
Busy in the kitchen, Instructor Yu Xuan saw her three quarreling disciples through the ventilation window and gently smiled.
