59. Crying After It Was All Over
In the room, Yan Ruyu sat on Yan Zhen’s lap, leaning against his chest, and only after a while did she feel her strength returning, her eyes gradually clearing of their haze, and her awareness of her current embarrassing position.
Yan Ruyu initially wanted to get down, but then remembered her cousin’s teachings and hesitated, continuing to pretend to be exhausted, snuggling into his embrace.
This was her first time enjoying Yan Zhen’s hug, and compared to his previous scrawny body, he had now become quite sturdy and reliable.
Her small hand gently caressed the muscles on his chest, and Yan Ruyu’s heart raced with excitement, worried that he might discover her actions.
The atmosphere was silent, with the two of them resembling a long-separated couple, quietly cherishing the moment.
Feeling the warmth emanating from Yan Zhen’s body, Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes, recalling the times she had teased him.
In the past, if Yan Zhen had dared to bully her so shamelessly, she would have definitely cried out in grievance.
But now, although she was embarrassed, she wasn’t angry, and even felt a hint of joy.
Because Yan Ruyu believed that Yan Zhen wasn’t intentionally trying to humiliate her, but rather, he liked her so much that he lost control and bullied her.
—Did he really like her that much? It was just a normal, ordinary body, yet he had used so much force to pinch and squeeze her, as if he wanted to ruin her. Little rascal~
Thinking this, Yan Ruyu subconsciously curled up her small hand, scratching him like a cat’s claw.
Coming back to her senses, she didn’t dare continue pretending, quickly getting up, and adopting a stance that suggested she didn’t want to stay for even a second longer, fearing that Yan Zhen might discover her previous actions.
“I’ll take the voice recorder, and today’s events are not to be told to anyone, got it?”
Yan Zhen blinked twice and nodded.
“And don’t use this to threaten me, or continue bullying me like that.” Yan Ruyu’s face flushed red just thinking about it, and she quickly scanned her surroundings, suspiciously asking, “You didn’t secretly record us, did you?”
“No, I didn’t.” Yan Zhen guaranteed, “Sister, you can rest assured, I won’t do such things to you again, I swear.”
“You…?”
Yan Ruyu’s chest felt blocked, and she felt a pang of sadness: she had only said not to threaten her, but didn’t say not to give in to him.
Saying such things meant that he was apologizing and wouldn’t take responsibility? He had used his evil fingers to touch her most precious place as a woman.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
“I?”
“No, that’s good!” Yan Ruyu couldn’t bring herself to say that he should take responsibility, “Little rascal, don’t fall into my hands again, or you’ll be in trouble!”
Yan Ruyu huffed and puffed, issuing a stern warning, before opening the door and walking out without looking back.
The night wind blew against her pale face, and hot tears flowed out, her heart thinking that she was a big fool for having expectations.
She wiped away her tears and quickly returned to her room, not wanting to be discovered by the other girls.
“……”
Watching Yan Ruyu’s departing back, Yan Zhen’s stiff body slowly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh.
—Recording the conversation, threatening his sister, touching her buttocks, and continuing until she cried out, only to suddenly awaken, slap himself, and sincerely apologize, making a resolution to control his desires in the future.
The plot was supposed to be that simple, but no matter how he tried, Yan Ruyu just wouldn’t cry, so Yan Zhen had to resort to underhanded tactics to make her cry.
In the end, the development of the story was completely different from the original script.
Ah, ah, ah… What to do, what to do? The task has failed, and this is a crucial plot point, a key turning point for the main character’s personality. It seems I have to start over again?
—Hey, System, System-chan!
【Ding Congratulations, Host, on completing the task. Please proceed to the corresponding interface to receive your reward.】
—What? Did I really complete it? Did I really succeed?
【Yes, Host, you cleverly made the proud and arrogant sister cry, and also deeply moved her, perfectly acting out the key plot point.】
—But shouldn’t the sister have cried and run away after I touched her buttocks?
【Earlier, the sister did cry and run away.】
—Ah, this…
“Did the sister cry earlier?”
Yan Zhen furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of unease in his heart:
Could it be that the sister didn’t want to show her weak side in front of him, so she pretended to be strong? In reality, she’s feeling very hurt because of his bullying? And she’s secretly crying in her room at night?
The more he thought about it, the more his heart felt uneasy.
Oh well, according to the script, the two of them will have a cold war for a few days.
After defeating Lan Ke, the injured Yan Zhen will be lying in bed, and Yan Ruyu will come to visit him, giving him a chance to apologize and make amends. He’ll think of a way to make it up to her then.
Right now, he’s also very tired, not just mentally but also physically.
Second Grandpa’s martial arts are too strong, and he almost couldn’t hold back.
He still needs to enter the Crystal Stone space to receive guidance from the beautiful female mentor.
Yan Zhen walked to the door, preparing to close it, when he suddenly noticed a figure in the courtyard looking in his direction. When the figure sensed his gaze, it turned and walked away.
“Is that Instructor Yu Xuan?”
He remembered that she said she would give him a better “reward” after he took first place in the monthly test.
Could it be that she wanted to come over…?
Wait, didn’t Yan Ruyu cry and run out just now, and wouldn’t she have seen it?
Yan Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that things were taking a turn for the worse.
With a heavy heart, Yan Zhen activated the Star Shifting Fire Seal.
As soon as his foot touched the altar’s ground, Yan Zhen was stopped by the beautiful female mentor, who pressed her hand on his shoulder.
“Yan Zhen, are you okay? Let me take a look, where are you hurt?”
Chen Xi was confused:
“Master, I’m fine, why are you saying that?”
Chen Xi’s gaze paused, because Yan Zhen indeed wasn’t injured, and she couldn’t help but feel suspicious. She remembered that after the monthly test last time, he came in with a body full of injuries.
Back then, she didn’t have much affection for Yan Zhen, and seeing him all bandaged up, she even scolded him a few times, saying that with his six-star cultivation and possession of the Emperor’s Blaze Scripture and Ancestral Symbol Scripture, he should be able to handle a mere nine-star cultivator without getting so battered.
Yan Zhen said with a silly grin that he didn’t dare use the Gold and Silver Fire, fearing that he might accidentally burn someone to death.
“Zhen’er , didn’t you have a duel with someone?”
“Master, how did you know I was going to have a duel? It hasn’t started yet, and it’s still three days away.”
“Ah, I see…”
It turned out she had misremembered.
Fortunately, she hadn’t set up a hospital scene in advance, or else her precious disciple would have suspected her motives.
Chen Xi secretly let out a sigh of relief, smiling faintly:
“It’s good that you’re fine, Mentor was worried that you got hurt during the monthly test.”
“The monthly test is just a small matter, the duel in three days is the real challenge.”
However, the academy will be distributing the monthly test rewards tomorrow, and as the first-place winner, he’ll be able to choose a mystic technique from the academy’s library.
It’s just in time to use the three-day period to learn the new mystic technique, and then use it to defeat the Lan Ke, perfect.
