Chapter 271
Yan Fei: "Last week, I thought you weren't aware, and that handsome guy doesn't have any initiative, so I didn't expect you two to progress this quickly?"
Ji Ling: "Ai, from now on our school has lost the most handsome guy and if this goes on, all the handsome guys will have their own girlfriends. When will it be my turn ah!"
He Songxue stopped coughing after hearing Ji Ling.
"This is too sudden! Not even a little bit of warning beforehand, everyone was just busy leaving without saying a word. No, he has to treat us to dinner too, like Fifi's boyfriend."
Yan Fei: "Do not mention my dog man, he isn't good-looking as others, and his actions weren't as good as others. His roommate knows how to deliver breakfast for his girlfriend while he didn't."
Ji Ling: "You cut him some slack, your boyfriend is so good to you ah. He sends you snacks and flowers every day without repeating the gifts, and yet you are not satisfied? Then think of us single dogs instead."
"Ahhhhh!" after a good chat, Yan Fei suddenly started screaming.
"What's wrong with you this time?" Her roommate wondered.
Yan Fei rolled on the bed with her phone in her excitement.
"Oh, oh, oh, the day of my brother's concert in Beijing has finally been set. It's next Saturday! The day after tomorrow, I'll make sure to grab the tickets ahhhh, bless me!"
"This girl is going crazy again." He Songxue shook her head.
Ji Ling: "It's your Jin Sihan again? He's really popular, anyone who doesn't chase stars like me can hear about him every day."
"Naturally, two years after his debut, he had 50 million followers on Weibo, there were only several idols in domestic history that can grow at this speed. My baby is really popular."
When Yan Fei mentioned her baby, a sense of motherly pride emerged on her face.
Among the four of them who were living in the same dorm room, she was the only person who chases stars.
Yan Fei tasted unparalleled loneliness because of this.
"Ai, you guys don't understand me. My baby is so important to me than my boyfriend, if someone gives me a front-row ticket for Jin Sihan's concert, I will immediately agree to be his girlfriend."
"It will be hard to get a ticket for his concert, after all this is his first solo concert after the disbandment of his group. His fans will be competing to get a hold of his ticket concert."
"Eh the day after tomorrow at eight o'clock, please sisters, must help me grab tickets."
Under Yan Fei's aegyo and begging, her roommates all promised to help her grab the tickets on time.
At this time, Shi Ning's cell phone rang again.
She looked at the caller ID on it, before she picked up the phone and walked outside the room.
The roommate tutted when they saw her walk outside to avoid suspicion.
"Look, people change once they were in a relationship. They need to go out to answer a call."
"Ning Ning is shy, after all, it's her first falling in love."
Shi Ning went outside to pick up the call.
"Hello?"
"Ning Ning, did you miss me." The person on the phone opened his mouth with a smile in his voice.
"No time to think about you."
"How ruthless, can't you miss me even if you're busy? I've been thinking about you every day."
Shi Ning couldn't stand his corny words, when she remembered what Yan Fei had just said and asked, "By the way, are you coming to Beijing for a concert?"
"En, I called you today just to talk to you about it. I've already sent you the tickets, you and Suno are both in Beijing, so you two come along. This is my first solo concert, you can't refuse." Jin Sihan said.
Shi Ning: "Okay, I know, I'll take him with me."
After saying this, she thought of something and said: "Your concert tickets, is it hard to book?"
"Of course! Ticket boots would close seconds after they open, I guess."
"…"
With the internet speed in their dormitory, it would be impossible to buy those tickets.
"Sihan, can you send me another one? My roommate especially likes you."
Jin Sihan was indeed very popular now. After Shi Ning entered the university, her classmates' and friends' WeChat profile picture was Jin Sihan's face, especially the girls'.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Shi Ning never mentioned to others that she and Jin Sihan were friends.
It's just that Yan Fei really wanted to go this time, thinking that she had gotten the ticket but she didn't, Shi Ning felt a little sorry for her, so she said this to Jin Sihan.
"Okay, no problem." He promised readily.
Shi Ning: "The location should be a little farther from the two of you want to give us. My roommate doesn't know that I know you."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." He responded with a smile.
Chapter 272
Friends don't need to see each other often, couples were different.
Shi Ning ate lunch with his roommate and dinner with Lin Suno.
The two had dinner and then took a walk around the campus like any other young couple.
"Sihan called me today." Shi Ning said to him.
Lin Suno: "What did he say?"
"He said he's coming to Beijing for a concert, and asked me to bring you along."
"When?"
"Next Saturday night."
"Good."
As they were talking he never let go of Shi Ning's hand.
Shi Ning saw the two hands clasped together, and blushed slightly, before lowering her head and pursing her lips as she smiled secretly.
When they were tired of walking, they sat on the grass, and together they watched the stars in the sky as wind blows the evening breeze, and occasional saw people walking by the campus.
This area was relatively secluded and was large, from a distance they saw a pair of men women together.
The two were taking advantage of the night's darkness, and hugged together not even forgetting to kiss.
Shi Ning turned her head and coincidentally saw this scene, flabbergasted she immediately turned her back again.
"What's wrong? " Lin Suno looked at her surprised face and turned his head along to see.
"Don't look." Shi Ning put her hands over his face and didn't allow him to turn around.
"Someone is kissing over there." Shi Ning lowered her voice and whispered.
After knowing the reason of her stunned appearance, Lin Suno said.
"So what? We're all grown up, there's nothing unusual about this kind of thing. Do you still want to cover my eyes when you see a kiss scene like you did in the movie theater during your freshman year?"
"It is not good to peek at others."
She argued softly.
But in fact, she didn't want him see it because she was shy.
What she didn't know was she was as red as an apple and Lin Suno couldn't help but think–
The way she blushed is particularly cute.
He reached up and took her hand off the one she had placed on his face and hold her hand again.
"Ning Ning, I still feel especially surreal when I see you now, do you really like me?"
He waited too long, so when the moment he heard her say she also like him he was awed with happiness.
"We're already together, why are you still asking me if I like you."
Shi Ning muttered, thinking to herself that Nono was a little stupid.
"Because I like you so much that I often lose confidence."
Hearing him say he likes her "too much", Shi Ning hearts overflowed with sweetness. Although she didn't like the fact that he has no confidence in himself, but since he really like her "too much" she would forgive him.
"So what does it take for you to feel confident?"
His fingers caressed her palm, and his voice was coaxing.
"Kiss me."
"I'll believe you like me if you give me a kiss."
Shi Ning: "…."
How did she get the feeling that she was being set up.
She slightly lifted her eyes and met his watery eyes, perhaps the atmosphere was too good, or perhaps it was sentiment.
Shi Ning obeyed his words, leaned over and dropped a kiss on the side of his face.
Her force was light, and her soft lips gently touched and immediately withdrew.
Shi Ning has always been extremely reserved in this regard, and after being coaxed by him to kiss him, she blushed until she felt to hot.
And without waiting for her to react, his hand covered the back of her head, then his thin and cold lips fell on her forehead, and from the forehead down, he kissed her brow and eyes, the tip of her nose, and finally the corner of her lips, extremely gentle and extremely restrained.
The kiss was full of reverent and was pure, even though the way he looked at her was so deep that as if he wanted to eat her.
Chapter 273
Before falling in love, Shi Ning doesn't really concern herself with romantic love nor has she had any expectations.
But now that she was in this romantic relationship, she seemed to understand a little as to why love could make so many people enthralled by it.
Everyone was a lonely individual, and it was not until they meet someone, they like that their soul finds its home.
After being with him, many ordinary things seem to have meaning.
Simple things like them eating, walking, and talking.
Though Suno still doesn't speak much, she understands him very well.
What she didn't expect was, after being with him Shi Ning only realized how Lin Suno knew her very well.
He knows all her preferences and takes care of her in every detail of her life.
Suno was Suno, how could he be so perfect even as a boyfriend?
Does he even have a flaw?
Shi Ning couldn't help but sigh sometimes.
One certain day, people in the dormitory were gossiping about a girl in their class who went out of class just to go out with her boyfriend and book a room.
Ji Ling: "They have only been together for how long ah, less than a month, right, how did it develop to this point?"
Yan Fei: "What is there to be surprised? Someone can be together for three days and can do it, we are all adults, it is not a matter of how long you've been together."
He Songxue: "It's a matter of personal choice, but for me, I think it's better to leave this kind of thing for marriage."
Shi Ning originally did not participate in their topic, but Yan Fei threw the ball at her.
"If my boyfriend looks half as good as Lin Suno, let alone three days, I'm willing to have a one-night stand, and sleep with such a boy. What regret will there be in my life? No matter how I look at it, I am the one who is in advantage ah!" Yan Fei ruefully said.
"Pfft…"
Shi Ning who was originally drinking water spurted a mouthful of water when she heard her saying this.
"Ahem, what kind of impure thoughts are you spouting?"
Yan Fei: "I'm telling the truth, ah, with his looks and that body, don't you want to do it? I have heard that he is the dream lover of many young girls in the mathematics department. Tch, an ascetic handsome man is not too charming."
"Stop!" Shi Ning grabbed a tissue and wiped the water off herself while glaring at her.
"Yan Fei, thinking of my boyfriend that way in front of me, you're going a bit too far."
"I'll be honest, I don't actually think of him that way, okay. But as a girl, if such a handsome guy is in front of you, don't you want to talk about it?" Yan Fei rolled her eyes.
Shi Ning did not say anything and just continue to silently wipe the water stains on the table.
Yan Fei: "You can't tell me that you two have been together for a week and haven't done anything."
"We held hands." Shi Ning said.
Yan Fei loudly said to her.
"You said that holding hands is an agreement, but it's not how romance work, my dear."
"Get it! Do you get it! Nowadays, high school kids are hitting home runs after falling in love, and yet you're still holding hands!"
Shi Ning: "That's because we haven't been together for long!"
"Come on, you have known each other for more than ten years, the relationship should be cultivated long ago, right? How can you not even kiss? What's the difference between you guys like this and when you were friends." Yan Fei continued to spit out.
"Who says we didn't, we kissed!" Noticing that she was being despised, Shi Ning fought back.
Yan Fei: "Oh ho, I really underestimated you. That's good, your progress is good."
She had just finished praising Shi Ning when she heard her say another sentence.
"Does a kiss on the corner of the mouth count?"
Yan Fei: "…."
These two goods are a little too innocent.
On Saturday night, Shi Ning and Lin Suno went to Jin Sihan's concert venue together.
The tickets he gave were very good spots, and from the front row in the infield, the stage could be seen clearly.
About half an hour before the start of the concert, the audience entered the venue one by one, and slowly the whole venue was filled with people.
The venue was very spacious, it could accommodate more than 20,000 people, Shi Ning turned her head and couldn't see the other end of the venue, instead, she saw a lot of people holding Jin Sihan's support banner as well as headbands with his name on it.
So many people came here for him, as a friend, she was shocked and proud at the same time.
"Is that another star, so handsome."
"I don't think so eh, isn't he accompanying his girlfriend."
"The girlfriend is also beautiful. We actually have a such beautiful sister in the family, I want to take a picture."
Most of the people who came to the concert were females friends, and there were only few boys, so Lin Suno was particularly eye-catching in the middle of the crowd.
Before Jin Sihan came out, many ladies carrying cameras were secretly taking pictures of Lin Suno first.
Chapter 274
Lin Suno did not like the feeling of being watched like this, especially when there were people taking pictures, he frowned slightly.
Shi Ning who was sitting next to him noticed the change in his mood.
She took his wrist and smiled sweetly at all the ladies who took pictures.
"Sorry, my boyfriend is just an ordinary person, he'll get shy if you guys take pictures of him like this, everyone should just focus on taking Sihan's pictures."
Those sisters who carry the cannon just took their cameras when they heard this and turned their heads and pretends that nothing happened.
The stares around finally dispersed, and Shi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that Lin Suno seemed to be chuckling.
"What are you laughing at?"
Just now there was a frown on his face, and yet the next second he was smiling.
Lin Suno: "Nothing, I just think my girlfriend has grown up and knows how to defend her boyfriend."
—
Soon the concert started, and the light all around dimmed.
"Jin Sihan! Jin Sihan!"
Everyone in the arena was screaming his name and welcoming him out with the utmost enthusiasm.
Finally, the spotlight on the stage came on and he made a handsome entrance amidst screams that boiled to the point of turning the entire stadium upside down.
The reason why Jin Sihan has become popular was not only because of his superior looks but also because of his talent.
There were few idols in the country who were as good at singing and dancing as he was, and also have some talent in songwriting.
He sang a dozen songs in a row, most of which were original.
"This is the end of the night, thank you all for coming to my concert, this is my first concert and it means a lot to me, thank you to every one of you who could come."
As he spoke, he faced the audience and bowed deeply in several directions towards the stage.
"Oooooooooooo brother don't go!"
"Son mommy loves you! Sing another song!"
"Jin Sihan Jin Sihan!"
"Don't go! Don't go!"
Fans on stage broke into tears and shouted for him not to leave and to sing another song.
"So many people like him, this kid is really something." Shi Ning's heartfelt emotion.
"Well, he really shines on stage."
Lin Suno went on to say.
Inwardly, Lin Suno couldn't help commenting to himself even if they were many people who like him as long as Shi Ning likes him, he wouldn't care about other people and just want her.
Just then, the lights on the stage came on again.
The people in the arena were screaming as loud as crazy.
The elevated platform slowly rose up, he changed his clothes and entered the stage again.
Jin Sihan's stage preference was mostly singing and dancing, and his makeup was naturally based on the fashion trend.
And the look of his last song, both in the intro music and in the costume was very different from the previous one.
This time he wore a blue shirt and white jeans, a very fresh and clean look.
"This is the last song of the night, a song I wrote before my debut and then I reworked the arrangement. This song has a very important meaning to me, and it's the first time I'm singing it tonight, so I hope you like it."
"The name of the song, it's called Confessions."
He sat in the center of the stage, singing the song with concentration and deep emotion, his fingers slowly strumming the guitar strings. Ten thousand people in the arena stood still for him, absorbed in his singing.
This song was the most lyrical of all the songs he sang tonight, and the rest of the audience in the arena was mesmerized, but Shi Ning was extra nervous.
Her ticket was given by Jin Sihan and was very close to the stage.
Jin Sihan also naturally knew where she was sitting.
So, he spent the whole time looking at her singing this song.
But what does he mean by this?
This kid is not insane, right?
Others may not know about the lyrics, but she already heard them. It was written for her.
However, if she could hear it so was Lin Suno.
Shi Ning quietly turned her head, and sure enough, she could clearly see the face of someone beside her.
At this time, she did not dare to say anything more, only quietly reaching over and touching the back of his hand.
She could feel the coldness of his gaze in the darkness, as Shi Ning's fingertips squeezed his palm.
"I don't know anything."
She hurriedly showed her loyalty.
His face eased slightly and held her hand in response.
Chapter 275
After the concert, Jin Sihan called the staff to bring Shi Ning and Lin Suno backstage.
When they went in, he was just getting changed and coming out of the fitting room.
As soon as Jin Sihan saw them, he ignored the presence of staff in the dressing room and gave Shi Ning a bear hug.
"Ning Ning, I've finally seen you!"
Huh.
Feels like something's wrong.
He clearly remembered Ning Ning was very soft in his arms, how come after not seeing him for a while the way she felt in his arm changed?
He blinked twice and opened his eyes.
What greeted him was the cold iceberg face.
"How is it you!"
Jin Sihan was instantly disappointed, he remembered that he was clearly running towards Shi Ning, so how come did he hug Lin Suno?
Lin Suno pushed him away and patted the shoulder Jin Sihan was leaning over.
"Of course it's me, or who else do you think it is."
"Ning Ning!"
Shi Ning peeked out from behind Lin Suno and waved at Jin Sihan.
"I'm here."
The moment Jin Sihan threw himself at her, she didn't have time to react. On the other hand, Lin Suno who was beside her pulled Shi Ning behind at an extremely fast speed.
"Seeing you brings me back to life, come and give me a hug."
Said Jin Sihan as he open his arms toward her again.
His appearance was really frightening, and Shi Ning hurriedly continued to withdraw behind Lin Suno.
Lin Suno held him down and called out Ruan Tongtong, Jin Sihan's agent, who was currently busy.
"Agent Ruan, there is a mad dog here, don't you care?"
"Mad dog? Whom are you calling a mad dog? Do you know whom you are talking to? If my fans know, they can drown you with one mouthful of saliva."
Jin Sihan scolded, but he was still angry after scolding him, so he opened his mouth and threatened to bite Lin Suno.
"I'm coming."
Ruan Tongtong was there to discuss with the people on the team what to do after the concert when she heard Lin Suno calling her and hurried over.
Shi Ning remembered that the first time they met Ruan Tongtong was during the summer vacation of her freshman year. At that time, she was just a college graduate. Jin Sihan was also the first artist she took over.
Later, Jin Sihan became popular and the company considered changing him to a more professional and experienced agent, but Jin Sihan refused.
Both of them were newcomers, growing and fighting together.
Jin Sihan listened to her on work matters, but in his personal lifestyle, Ruan Tongtong could not control him.
She looked at Jin Sihan, who was flailing at Lin Suno, and pleaded helplessly, "Little ancestor, what's wrong with you again, I beg you to stop."
"He obviously provoked me. Why don't you let me hold Ning Ning? Ning Ning is not his family!" Jin Sihan immediately complained.
Lin Suno: "She's my family."
Ruan Tongtong: "What hugging? Didn't you see all the media reporters outside? The last song you sang tonight was already unexpected. If another photo of you and a girl hugging in the background comes out at this time, gossip about romantic affairs won't just go away that easily. Do you want to get mixed up?"
"It's not like there are any reporters here, aren't they all your own people? What does it matter."
Jin Sihan argued, and then as if realizing something, his eyes stared straight at Lin Suno.
"What did you just say?"
"We are together." He took Shi Ning's hand and said to Jin Sihan seriously.
"You think so!" Jin Sihan reached over and made a gesture to pull away the hands the two were holding.
Lin Suno clenched his hand tightly and said, "Just accept the reality."
"I don't believe it! Let go!"
In midst of the people around them, the two started their primary chicken-mode fight, one refused to let go while the other one wanted to break the hands that were holding tightly in front of him.
"All right, all right, calm down." Ruan Tong Tong dragged Jin Si Han and pulled them away.
"I'm sorry, you two, I've caused you trouble." Ruan Tong Tong apologized to them both.
"It's okay, we're used to it." Shi Ning smiled at the agent jiejie* and then said to Jin Sihan, who was still mad.
"If you keep making such a scene, believe it or not, I'll take a picture of your current appearance and post it online for your fans to see as well."
(*older sister- I used jiejie cause it sounded more appropriate than older sister, and since it sounded cute~)
Her words worked. Jin Sihan calmed down in a second and looked at her wrongly with his fawn's eyes open.
"Ning Ning, tell me that he is lying to me."
"No, he's not lying to you. We're really together." Shi Ning said.
Chapter 276
After the concert Jin Sihan was originally going to invite all the staff to dinner together, Shi Ning and Lin Suno being his close friends, and he naturally planned to take them along.
Just after hearing this news, Jin Sihan couldn't come back from the sinking blow for a long time and sit in the dressing room chair without saying a word for a long time.
Ruang Tongtong called everyone else in the dressing room out, leaving only a few of them. She said to Jin Sihan, "Si Han, the media outside is still waiting for your interview."
"You go and tell them that I'm not taking any interviews this time."
"The dinner party's tonight?"
"I'm not going, you take them, and put the tab on my name."
Jin Sihan said this without any room to argue and with the looks of it, he wouldn't listen to anything she says. Ruan Tongtong could only feel helpless because of his willful attitude.
"As an artist, you can't be so capricious. You have to be responsible for the team, fans, and yourself," Ruan Tongtong said.
Jin Sihan: "The concert has ended. Don't I have to have some time to catch my breath? Sister Tong, I've been with you for so long, don't you still know what she means to me."
It's true that music was his dream, but it's only his first love he couldn't go far just by loving it a little.
It was she who gave him armor and courage to make him want to shine and be seen by her.
Now he finally did it, but she has become someone else's girlfriend.
Shi Ning walked over at this time, Ruan Tongtong saw her walking over and said to Shi Ning, "I am unable to talk any sense to him, you come persuade him for me."
Shi Ning nodded to her as she walked over to Jin Sihan and squatted down.
"I listened to the song you sang, and it was very good."
The man who was so dazzling and radiant on the stage just now was now red-eyed as he said in a dumb voice: "The song is called Confession, you should know what I mean."
"All of us are older than you. I have always loved you as my younger brother."
Jin Sihan was different from them. He was the youngest student in the same class. He lost his mother when he was young, and his father did not love him.
He only had a perverted brother who was good and bad to him at the same time. This child aroused maternal love in Shi Ning's nature, so even if he occasionally showed too much affection to her, Shi Ning would only treat him as a spoiled child.
So she didn't expect that he would also have that feeling for her.
Jin Sihan pulled his lips and sneered.
"Who the hell wants to be your brother, am I missing a sister? What I want, is the position he's in now."
His gaze glanced at Lin Suno over there, grim and unwilling.
Shi Ning raised her eyes, and they were firm.
"But I like him, and only him."
Jin Sihan's little fighting spirit against his rival in love has just died down.
"Yes, you like him, so no matter how much others like you, it's useless."
Shi Ning may not realize it herself, but he and Nan Xiao looked at her every day, so how could they not notice that her gaze would always automatically follow Lin Suno without realizing it?
"In the past, when we were studying together, I scolded you every day for being biased, and only knowing how to protect Suno."
"Now that I think about it, I actually had a hunch at that time that the person you liked was him, right?" He said in a muffled voice.
"I'm sorry." Shi Ning whispered.
Even if she didn't like him, she would still apologize. She was so gentle that he seemed unable to find a reason to be angry with her.
Jin Sihan smiled and said, "Your apology is too insincere. Why don't you give me a hug?"
Shi Ning glared at him: "Suno is still here! Don't you dare! Watch out I'll ask my boyfriend to beat you up."
"Tch, having a boyfriend is really different, I'm not allowed to hug you anymore and it's not like we haven't hugged before."
Seeing talk like this, Shi Ning felt less guilty and could not help giving light punches.
"Since you don't want to, I won't hug you." Jin Sihan said.
"That's more like it." Shi Ning stopped giving light jabs and punches.
But in the next second when she just let her guard down, the man who was sitting in front of him had his eyes narrowed slightly, his palms cradled her head, closed his eyes as he dropped a kiss on her hair.
"Well, I accept your apology." He immediately let go of her, with a triumphant smile on his face.
Lin Suno almost rushed to beat the man over there, but Ruan Tongtong stopped him.
"He has such a dog-like temper. The person he liked for so long was robbed before he could even confess, he must not be reconciled. Please bear with him."
Lin Suno's clenched fist loosened again.
"Last time." He whispered.
His cold-to-the-point gaze skimmed over the people over there and then walked straight out. "Ah, ah, Ning Ning, I was wrong! You're too serious!"
"Jie, Jie I was wrong, do not hit the face, I still have to rely on this face to eat it!"
Jin Sihan reacted as Shi Ning continued to beat him.
"I just touched your hair! I didn't dare to kiss you! I am telling the truth, okay?" Jin Sihan cries.
"That's no good! You're taking advantage of me."
She doesn't really care about his gestures before but after knowing now that he has feelings for her, this kind of behavior was intolerable.
She was so angry that she settled old scores and new ones together before she cleared her mind and hit him enough.
"Shi Ning, stop fighting. Your boyfriend is out."
Ruan Tongtong turned to her and said.
Shi Ning's heart sank.
Oh, I'm afraid Suno's jealous again.
She stopped her hand and immediately went after him.
Chapter 277
Walking out of the concert stadium, there were still many people outside.
Many of Jin Sihan's fans that could not enter the stadium insisted on supporting him outside, so under the organization of the fan management staff, they took up the lights and banners, and stood up in an orderly manner as they wait for Jin Sihan's nanny car to come out.
Shi Ning found Lin Suno in the crowd while thinking that if he wasn't tall, she couldn't have found him so easily.
The downside was, because of his long stride, she could barely keep up with him by jogging all the way.
Shi Ning's phone rings at this time, looking at it, it was Yan Fei calling. Right after answering the call, she could hear Yan Fei's delighted voice.
"Ning Ning! Thank you for helping me get the tickets! The position is really good, the stage can be seen clearly! Wuwuwu I'm already on the bus back to school now, and I can feel my heart is empty. The scene just now is like a dream."
As Shi Ning was listening to Yan Fei, she walked behind Lin Suno.
"Really, that's great."
Yan Fei enthusiastically talk about how great her idol was for a while now, and at this time Shi Ning finally almost caught up with Lin Suno.
"Fifi, there's something else on my side, I'll talk to you later when I get back ah."
Yan Fei: "What's up, you sound tense. Didn't you go out on a date with your boyfriend?"
Shi Ning: "It's a date, but he seems to be jealous again."
The last time, because he was jealous of Nan Xiao, he didn't take the initiative to talk to her for a week, and this time she didn't know how long he would be angry.
"Jealousy, it's no big deal. I'll teach you a move…"
Yan Fei began to give her advice on the phone.
Shi Ning was silent after hearing this, "That's not very good, is it?"
"You listen to me, this trick is accurate and effective, especially with the situation you two are in now." Yan Fei smiled mysteriously.
After hanging up, Shi Ning ran a few steps and finally caught up with him.
She took his arm while panting, "Why did you leave me alone?"
Lin Suno's expression was icy and sullen.
"Didn't you want to stay there and not bother you?"
"I didn't know he would be like that. I've already beaten him up, don't be angry, okay?" Shi Ning shook up his arm, with a hint of fawning in her tone.
There was no way for Lin Suno to really get angry at her, hearing her say this, he closed his eyes and his voice softened.
"I'm not mad at you, I'm just mad at myself."
She was so good, if he could like her and so could others.
He was already lucky enough that Shi Ning liked him and chooses him, but he became more and more worried, and he wanted more and more.
He doesn't like other people touching her, even just the thought of someone thinking of her bothers him too much.
Lin Suno has always thought of himself as a rational and self-reliant person, who has the desire to win but never likes to fight.
No matter how good a person was, one doesn't need to be complacent let alone greedy.
Humility and contentment, these four words were kept always in his heart.
It was not until he was with Shi Ning that he found greed in his nature.
Obviously, at first, he just wanted to simply be by her side, but now he couldn't control himself more. Occasionally, he would dream in the middle of the night about him taking her fiercely.
The first time he had such a dream, Lin Suno was so frightened by himself and punished himself by taking cold water all night.
Now it was even more outrageous, obviously, she was not at fault just now, but he could not restrain himself from rushing out, and just now he even had the urge to kiss her hard and forcefully in front of Jin Sihan, telling anyone who wanted to covet her…
She was his.
"What are you angry with yourself for?" Shi Ning was even more puzzled now.
Lin Suno said sullenly, "I feel like I treat you badly."
"What's wrong? You're fine."
That's because you don't even know the crazy, shameful thoughts in my mind.
"Let's go." He didn't want to go any deeper into the subject.
Shi Ning stopped him and said, "Don't leave until you make it clear. You are clearly in a bad mood but you're denying that you're not angry…"
"I really wasn't …"
He did not have time to finish his words when Shi Ning stood on tiptoe and darted a kiss on his lips.
The world seems to be still at this moment.
Lin Suno's whole body froze, unable to believe what had just happened.
Shi Ning shyly lowered her head after the kiss, but couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes to look at him.
Seeing him standing in place like an idiot, she thought to herself.
The trick Yan Fei taught her wouldn't be useless, right?

Seeing him standing in place like an idiot, she thought to herself.
The trick Yan Fei taught her wouldn't be useless, right?
"Would it make you feel better if I did this?"
She raised her face to look at him.
"Em."
"That's good." Shi Ning smiled contentedly at that.
Lin Suno took a step closer to her, and the already close distance between the two was less than an inch.
She watched him as his shadow enveloped her little by little and stared at the beautiful luster in his eyes that was like a whirlpool. Shi Ning felt that she was about to fall into a bottomless pit.
Both of them suddenly had dry lips.
The stadium not far behind them suddenly resounded with screams as fans shouted Jin Sihan's name to the point where it could be heard for ten miles around.
Amid such screams, he inclined his head and kissed her on the lips.
At first, he just touched it gently.
Seeing that Shi Ning did not resist, he began to take her lips and lick them tenderly.
Between the meeting of their breaths, Shi Ning heard him ask, "Like this, is it okay?"
A current of electricity tingled Shi Ning's whole body from top to bottom as she nodded her head while feeling dizzy.
He began to deepen the kiss.
"And what about this?"
Being kissed by him so meticulously and tenderly, and hearing his extremely seductive voice, Shi Ning's legs went soft.
She finally understood why Yan Fei said that she doesn't know anything, handsome guy in the abstinence department was most attractive.
Wahhh can do anything, you can do anything!
Just please don't ask her again.
Shi Ning was ashamed and nervous, feeling she was softened into a dough, and being kneaded by him.
His five fingers dug into her dark hair, closing his eyes and pouring his madness and longing into her.
Jin Sihan's car drove out, he opened the window and waved at the fans outside one by one.
Suddenly, not far from the crowd, two kissing figures stole his sight.
The girl he likes ends up in the arms of another man.
Shi Ning was the slowest and most conservative girl he has ever seen in this regard, and Lin Suno was also the most ignorant man he has ever seen.
Before boys get along with boys, they would always make one or two impure jokes, even if he was a gentleman in front of girls.
However, Lin Suno was never like this, so much that many people in the class would think that he had no desire at all.
But these two people would actually kiss passionately in a public place, crowded at that where tens and thousands of people were surrounding them.
He closed the window and leaned against the seat.
"Crazy people, two crazy people."
Ruan Tongtong heard him talking to himself and asked, "Who is it?"
Jin Sihan smiled.
"It's nothing."
Since this was her choice, he respects it.
Tonight's song, as well as his trembling kiss in her hair, was both a confession and a farewell.
When Shi Ning and Lin Suno went back, it started to rain.
They took a bus to the school gate and bought an umbrella near the school gate.
At first, it was two people walking with an umbrella, but slowly the rain got heavier and heavier.
"You're wearing white shoes today." Lin Suno suddenly spoke up.
"Well, I guess I'll have to wash them when I get back." Shi Ning looked at his own small white shoes pensively.
"Take it." He shoved the umbrella into her hand.
Shi Ning took the umbrella and saw him bend down.
"I'll carry you."
"No need, I can walk by myself, I'll just wash my shoes." Shi Ning said in a hurry.
Line Suno inclined his head and said, "How long do you want me to stay in this position?"
Shi Ning climbed on his back, one arm around his shoulders while the other hand held the umbrella.
He carried as he walked slowly, but steadily.
Shi Ning's head rested on his back, feeling sweet inside.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Suno asked.
Shi Ning: "I was thinking, it's a good thing you didn't tell me you liked me in high school, otherwise I would not be able to devote myself to my studies 100% if were so happy in love."
Lin Suno curved his lips: "Even if I told you at that time, you would not accept me ah, after all, at that time, you do not like me yet, right?"
The person on his back was silent for a short while and muttered in a small voice, "Who said that."
"Um?"
"Who says I didn't like you in high school."
He took a pause before he continued walking slowly.
"Now that I think about it, I seem to have liked you a long time ago. It's just that you were aware that you liked me but I didn't know I liked you."
He was the only target she wanted to beat throughout high school, and her eyes had been long drawn to him.
She wanted to beat him but was secretly happy for him every time he did better than she did on the test.
She wants to guard him more than to defeat him, the three boys were always fighting, but she was unconsciously biased towards him every time, always afraid that the next person would bully him.
Being childhood friends was rooted for a long time so she was unaware of the feelings she had was more than just childhood friends.
"Nono, let me tell you a secret, okay."
"You tell me."
"On New Year's Day, the winter break of my senior year, do you remember the phone call I made to say Happy New Year to you?"
"Remember, what's wrong."
"At that time I received a text from all three of you at the same time, but I, for one, only called you back."
Their story was never about his unrequited love alone, but about the crush of two people coming true.
So guys finally the main story is finished, it was one hell of a ride so it's now time to say good bye…is what I want to say but noohhh! We still have side storiesss!
Side stories and being an unprofessional translator aside …
I like the story, this was the main reason why I picked up the story—I just love cliché…but
As a reader with my own standard and biased judgment, the story was rushed, the author rushed to finish the story… I mean I love that Lin Suno and Shi Ning end up with each other but author-nim did not put up a good fight for Nan Xiao, especially Jin Sihan.. I love how they continue to pursue their dreams and all but da*n when the story was nearing its end the drama just got bland~ though I still like it but c'mon, author-nim should have given more screen time for Jin Sihan and Nan Xiao, it was if all that rivalry was—I don't how to explain it, maybe because I feel like in between before ending the main story author-nim could have added more chapters… I was just a little disappointed but welp overall I still like the story but not as much as I started reading it before~
But will see, maybe I'll change my mind after the side stories!~
Anyways! I hope you guys enjoy this ride (with my poor and unprofessional translation) If you have some novels that you want me to translate, join our discord, comment, and tag me and let me see if I can squeeze some time (tehee)
See you on the side storiesss!~
Chapter 279
One month after the start of the school year, the medical department led by the student union prepared a singing competition.
Shi Ning, as an officer of the Student Union Organization Department, naturally took the lead and was mainly responsible for the registration of the audition.
During the week from the beginning of registration to the end of registration, Shi Ning and two other officers took turns looking after the booth set up in the school to promote the competition, it was also responsible for publicizing and statistics.
That day, Shi Ning rushed to the booth after class, replaced one of them, and look after the book with another girl from the propaganda department.
At ten o'clock in the morning, it was the rush hour for the next major class. A few minutes after coming, the booth was already full of people, most of whom came for consultation, and a few who were more straightforward who filled in the registration form on the spot.
"There are so many people today." Amidst the busy work, Shi Ning sighed ruefully.
The girl who was looking after the booth with her said with a smile, "That's because you came. It wasn't so lively before you came. The face of our medical school is here, which naturally attracts a large crowd of onlookers. After all, in this face era, who doesn't like beautiful women?"
Shi Ning smiled and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Yao Yao, the head of their department, came over, carrying a cup of milk tea in her hand.
"Minister." When all was said and done, she was still her senior, even if there was a little grudge, she must still show manners.
Since she knew that Shi Ning was Shi Chen's sister, Yao Yao's attitude towards Shi Ning changed drastically.
Not only did she stop arranging messy things to embarrass her, but she also helped her get a lot of work done in private. Her attitude was not the same as before, usually, she would raise her chin and would look at her nostrils flaring up but now she was so respectful that Shi Ning suspects she was the Minister and Yao Yao was the assistant secretary.
Yao Yao put the milk tea on her table and said to her with a smile, "You're here. It's so hot, so have a cup of milk tea."
Shi Ning pushed back and said, "No need Minister, please drink yourself."
Yao Yao: "I've already had it. I bought it for you."
Shi Ning couldn't refuse her the second time, so she could only accept with a smile: "Thank you, Minister."
Yao Yao asked about today's registration. After Shi Ning reported to her, Yao Yao nodded and said to her, "Shi Ning, I think you've been here for a long time. Why don't I help you? Go back and have a rest."
"I'm fine, this is what I should do."
Of course, Shi Ning couldn't let her look after the booth for her, this was her job. The reason she had an argument with Yao Yao before, was because Yao Yao accused her of dumping her job on other people.
She would not do less than she should do, and she would not suffer that loss if she should not do it.
Yao Yao saw her reluctance and whispered, "Shi Ning, are you still angry with me?"
"No." She didn't have much hatred at first, so she didn't really bother herself with this.
"Then can you help me say something nice in front of your brother? Because he saw us quarreling before, and now he treats me with a businesslike face." Yao Yao asked.
Shi Ning: "Minister, I'm not in charge of my brother's business. It's your business whether you can catch up with him or not. But I will make it clear to him that there is no misunderstanding between us. You can rest assured."
"That's enough! Just don't let senior hate me." Yao Yao said happily.
"But I have a condition."
"Just say it."
Shi Ning pushed her cup of milk tea back.
"Let's just get along normally in the future, don't do these kinds of things."
She doesn't want to make enemies with anyone, but Yao Yao was not a friend she could make.
Shi Ning just hopes that their interaction was only limited to work. This kind of hospitality is much more, and she feels uncomfortable and troubled.
Seeing this, Yao Yao took away the milk tea and said with a smile, "It's all up to you. If it's okay, I'll go first."
"Good."
After Yao Yao left, the girl sitting next to Shi Ning came up to her and said, "Your minister is very kind to you. I heard that the head of the Organization Department is cold and arrogant, but unexpectedly, she is so kind to her subordinates and even came to give you milk tea."
Hearing this, Shi Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Then you haven't seen how she treated me before."
If it wasn't because of Shi Chen, Yao Yao wouldn't be so amiable with her now.
Chapter 280
In order to celebrate the successful completion of the events on the first day, the school allocated funds from the entire student union of the school to have dinner together.
This was the first time for freshman students of the medical department to participate in dinners other than classes and group meals.
The place for their dinner was a restaurant near the school, reserving two tables.
When it was almost time for dinner, Shi Chen came in.
Seeing Shi Chen coming in, everyone in the room was boiling with excitement.
After all, this faculty president was a god to them. And just like gods, he was rarely seen going out with other students, in his junior year because he was too busy with academic matters Shi Chen let his assistants do things in the union such as participating in gatherings on his behalf.
So, he was rarely seen participating in any of the gatherings.
"President, you're here, come and sit, come and sit!"
The head of the propaganda department greeted Shi Chen. Except for a few ministers and deputy ministers, the freshman secretaries were not very familiar with Shi Chen but they all look up at him with awe just like their seniors.
"I heard that the president is very busy preparing his SCI paper this semester."
"Only the third year can publish a few SCI papers, the president is really awesome."
"So handsome, oh, as expected worthy to be called our male god. I just don't know if he will stay here for graduate school or oes abroad, if it's the latter then I'll be very sad ah."
After Shi Chen nodded and greeted the people he knew, he sat directly beside Shi Ning.
It just so happens that the minister of the propaganda department, who was on good terms with him, was at the next table and upon seeing this he was unwilling to give up.
"President, I invited you to sit in here but instead you sit at the table next to us, say aren't you being partial."
"Of course, we have Shi Ning at this table, her sister is here, so he would obviously sit here." The vice minister of the organization department joked.
After Shi Chen sat down, the waiters served all the dishes one after another.
Just like every student meeting, everyone thinks that it wouldn't be complete without some alcohol, and this dinner was no exception. Secretaries were offering toasts to ministers, while ministers offer a toast to the president.
Shi Ning who was sitting next to Shi Chen, watched her brother drink a glass of alcohol one after another without blinking.
Shi Ning followed the other secretaries and gave a toast to the minister and deputy minister of her own department.
She had just finished drinking when Ji Chu, the head of the publicity department came over. He first gave a toast to Shi Chen, and then picked up another glass of alcohol and said to Shi Ning.
"Little beauty, can I have a drink with you? From the first time I saw you, I thought you look very beautiful and familiar, we seem to have met somewhere."
It's the 21st century, so Shi Ning didn't expect that someone would use such old-fashioned pick-up lines.
But since the other party was her senior, when the alcohol was brought to her, Shi Ning could not refuse. So, she filled half a glass of beer and was about to drink it but the glass was snatched by the person next to her.
Shi Chen: "If you really want to drink that much, I'll drink with you."
Ji Chu: "President, when it comes to drinking, who among us has out drunk you? It's only a few sips of beer, it's not like I can get your sister drunk. Aren't you a little strict, which girl in our department does not drink a few beers?"
Shi Chen picked up Shi Ning's glass and finished the beer in one gulp, smiled, and said, "I only have only this one sister, naturally I have to watch closely."
Seeing how overprotective he was with his little sister, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahahaha, little Shi Ning, being so tightly controlled by your brother, isn't it putting you under a lot of pressure?"
"President, can't you be too strict with Shi Ning? Such a beautiful sister will be missed by others, when she and I were at the stall, every day someone used the registration as an excuse to strike up a conversation with Shi Ning."
Ji Chu has a good relationship with Shi Chen, and naturally, he has no restraint, unlike others. After drinking, he joked: "President, you can't do this, with you the big Buddha in front, which boys dare to chase Shi Ning? Are you not afraid that you will drive away your sister's peach blossom?"
Shi Chen glanced sideways at his sister sitting next to him.
"She's still young, what peach blossom."
They were only in their freshman year, and those boys who were eager to find a girl to date when they just entered the campus were not good people. His sister was so good, who could match her?
Even if there someone was really worthy, it has to pass his test first. We won't let some Tom, Dick, or Harry get his sister.
After hearing what his brother said, Shi Ning reasoned in whisper.
"Brother, I'm not young anymore, I'm an adult."
"You've just become an adult not even a year ago, aren't you still a kid?"
Ji Chu said: "Look at it! Your sister doesn't like you being so strict, the child is all grown up, it is time to let go, president! I think Shi Ning really wants to fall in love, right Shi Ning."
"Actually I …"
She and Lin Suno have not been together for long, and her brother has been busy every day recently, so the two siblings do not have time to see each other.
So, Shi Ning did not have the chance to tell him about her and Suno being together. She just thought about taking this opportunity to confess to her brother and let it pass.
"What did you say?" Shi Chen throws a cold stare at Ji Chu.
"Do you think my sister is you? As a brother, how can I not understand what she is like?"
A lot of people take turns in proposing a toast to Shi Chen, and although he was not that drunk, there was no doubt that he was tipsy and spoke much louder than usual.
Tapping his finger on the table, he said confidently, "I know what my sister is like. She has absolutely no desire to fall in love now! So you boys, don't think about it."
As he said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at the men present with a warning look
It's an attitude saying that whoever dares to touch his sister would be killed.
"Yes, yes. Don't worry, President. With you here, who would dare!"
"That's right, we have the heart but not the guts, don't we? Besides, chasing someone like Shi Ning we need to look at the mirror first."
"Good, you have self-awareness."
Shi Chen withdrew his murderous eyes, obviously satisfied with how he was able to frighten these thieves, and continues to drink with others.
After drinking for a while, he seemed to think of something and turned his head to ask Shi Ning.
"Ning Ning, did you just have something to say to me?"
"….."
Originally there was, but now I don't.
She couldn't possibly slap her brother in the face quickly right after he finished saying those.
"It's nothing, brother, as long as you are happy." Shi Ning smiled at him obediently.
The author has something to say: Ning Ning: Brother you will regret it.
Chapter 281
At 7:30 in the evening, Shi Ning received a text message from Lin Suno.
[Is the dinner over?]
Shi Ning replied: [No, we've already eaten, but they are still drinking. It should be over soon.]
Lin Suno: [Okay, I'll pick you up.]
Shi Ning wanted to reply 'okay', but seeing her brother at the corner of her eyes sitting next to her, she felt guilty and deleted the word, then change it to:
[No, let's meet later]
[Why?]
[My brother is here…]
It took longer for the other side to reply before sending the message.
[Your brother doesn't approve of us?]
Shi Ning: [No, he doesn't know yet.]
Hiding from Shi Chen, she sent another message secretly.
[Also, my brother doesn't seem to want me to be in a relationship.]
Lin Suno who saw the message was lost in his thoughts
Of course, your brother doesn't want you to be in a relationship, how can he be willing to hand over his precious little sister whom he has been protecting for so many years to other men so easily?
[It's okay. I'll face it. I'll talk to Brother Chen.]
[No you can't!]
Coming right now to talk to her brother, wasn't he looking for a fight?
She couldn't bear to let Suno face these alone.
[My brother has been busy doing experiments and writing papers recently and is not in a good mood meeting with this kind of bottleneck. Let's find a better time to invite him to dinner and tell him!]
They should be a little more serious about this, as long as her brother feels the importance she attaches to him, and the jealousy in her heart disappears, he would probably be happy for them.
[Okay, I'll listen to you.]
A few seconds later, he sent another message.
[But I still want to see you tonight]
When Shi Ning saw this message, she couldn't help smiling.
She thought that if he fell in love he would be insipid and independent, but it turned out he was clingy.
[Then wait for me downstairs in the dormitory. I'll go back to the dormitory with Feifei. See you later.]
"Who are you chatting with that you're smiling so happily?" Shi Chen asked beside him.
Shi Ning looked away from her phone and said, "Me?"
"Yes." Shi Chen looks at her suspiciously.
"Oh, my roommate and I just talked about an interesting thing." Shi Ning explained.
Shi Chen didn't ask any further questions and continued to chat with several ministers.
Originally, Shi Ning didn't think it would be boring to sit here. Anyway, no matter how much they drink or talk, they should be done at around 8:00, so she just had to sit quietly for half an hour.
But after answering Lin Suno's message, as soon as Shi Ning thought that she would be able to meet her boyfriend right away after walking out of there, she felt like going home earlier.
So, when she saw that two girls had left, she pulled Yan Fei: "Feifei, let's go back to the dormitory too."
Yan Fei: "Isn't it good to leave early?"
Shi Ning: "It's okay. I can talk to my brother."
"All right then."
"Brother, can I go back first?"
Shi Chen looked at his phone and said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll take you back."
Shi Ning: "No, I can go back with my roommate. You can sit with everyone for a while longer."
Shi Chen looked at Yan Fei standing next to Shi Ning and nodded: "Okay, you two pay attention to safety on the road."
"Okay."
After getting permission, Shi Ning pulled Yan Fei and the two of them walked out of the restaurant.
After leaving the restaurant, Yan Fei joked, "Why not wait, it's an honor to be sent home by the president personally. I want that honor."
Shi Ning told her honestly, "My boyfriend is waiting for me downstairs in our dormitory."
Yan Fei clicked her tongue and said teasingly, "I was just wondering why you want to leave early, it turns out that you are in hurry to date! Poor president, I almost laugh when he said you have no intention in dating yet. Ai, your brother didn't know you were in love."
"Didn't you see his reaction, how can I dare to tell him easily?"
"That's true. Your brother is a typical patient with sis-con. If he knows you are now dating someone, he can't accept it for a while. After all, he has raised his sister for so many years and knows how good you are, he won't just let some cheap boys take you away."
"But my point is, your brother hasn't even dated yet, but you already are, and you did it without telling him! Tsk tsk, I can already imagine the president being down after knowing the truth as he turned around hiding the tears that were about to fall, and as the wind blow his back will look so lonely."
Yan Fei used both expressions and tones, that Shi Ning almost see the picture in her head.
"Stop!"
She stopped Yan Fei from stirring up her emotion.
"Well, my brother will certainly accept it. After all, he knows Suno so there's nothing to worry about. I just wasn't able to tell him because every time I felt scared, it felt like I was a child facing my parents as if I am confessing I did something bad
Yan Fei: "You'd better talk to him quickly. Don't be caught on the spot by your brother one day."
"Don't make it sound like I am cheating! How can I talk to him?"
Shi Ning said and went to hit her.
