Chapter 98: Crush

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Nian took out her physics exercise book. She turned to the chapter she had studied during last night’s tutoring session and started working on it.

After completing the single-choice questions, Wen Nian retrieved the reference answers and prepared to compare them.

“Five out of ten questions are wrong.”

As Wen Nian was flipping through the answers, she was startled by the cold voice that suddenly sounded beside her. Her hand froze, and she turned her gaze to meet Shen Jun’s eyes.

Shen Jun, without hesitation, reached out and glanced at the exorcise book in front of him. He then retrieved a pen and some draft paper, giving the impression that he was about to provide an explanation to Wen Nian.

Observing Shen Jun’s intention to teach, Wen Nian promptly pulled her chair closer to him and leaned forward, eager to absorb the knowledge he was about to impart. She positioned herself attentively, ready to engage in the impromptu class.

The morning’s events served as a catalyst to break the ice between them. Both Wen Nian and Wen Yu chose to overlook the incident from a few days ago and instead continued their interactions as if it never occurred.

During the break between classes, Shen Jun seized the opportunity to inquire about the filming project. He asked Wen Nian, “Where is your production team currently filming?”

Wen Nian glanced at Shen Jun and noticed his composed demeanor. Realizing that he had likely discovered something and was no longer upset, she felt a sense of relief. Excitedly, she began sharing the details, saying, “The production team is currently filming in the capital. They only have a three-day break for the Spring Festival. My family plans to go to the capital during that time, so we can celebrate the New Year there.”

In her previous life, Wen Nian had never visited the capital. The largest film studio in the country was situated near Heng City, the province neighboring Hai City. Most of the productions she had been a part of were low-budget films, and the scenes she had participated in were filmed within the studio premises.

The capital, being the center of politics, culture, and economics in China, was a vibrant metropolis that hosted numerous grand awards ceremonies. However, Wen Nian’s involvement in the entertainment industry had mostly confined her to Hai City and Hong City. The glitz and glamour of the capital were far from her reach, as she had primarily focused on her career within the boundaries of those cities.

After enduring the hardships of being imprisoned, the more prospect of gazing beyond the prison walls had become an extravagant hope for Wen Nian. Throughout her 30 years of life, she had only stayed in Hai City and Heng City. As a result, she held a deep yearning for this upcoming trip to the capital, viewing it as a chance to finally explore a new and unfamiliar environment.

Shen Jun couldn’t believe his luck as everything seemed to be falling into place seamlessly. Firstly, through their shared study sessions and interactions, he managed to swiftly restore his previous rapport with Won Nian. And now, stumbling upon the information that the filming location was in the capital, it presented him with an opportunity to during winter break.

A smile graced Shen Jun’s face, causing the corners of his lips to curl up involuntarily. “The capital has a vibrant New Year atmosphere. If your parents decide to go there for the New Year, 1 can suggest some places for them to visit and enjoy,’1

Wen Nian nodded eagerly, her anticipation evident. “Absolutely! My parents have never ventured beyond Hai City before. This will be a great opportunity for us to explore the capital during this new year holiday.”

As Shen Jun seized the moment to share intriguing anecdotes about the capital’s rich history as an ancient capital of five dynasties, a captivating atmosphere enveloped the conversation between him and Wen Nian.

They continued the tutoring session during lunch break and Shen Jun finally had the chance to enjoy Zhou Mei’s delicious home-cooked dishes alongside Wen Nian once more. With the help of Shen Jun’s effective learning methods and guidance, Wen Nian was able to catch up on the progress she had missed in the previous days.

During the mixed martial arts class on Wednesday, Wen Nian and Shen Jun continued their practice together. While it was labeled as practice, Shen Jun consistently served as Wen Nian’s sparring partner.

During halftime, Wen Nian wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel and glanced at Shen Jun, who appeared refreshed and was hydrating himself with water. “Have you learned this before? Why does it seem like you can grasp the content of the class just by hearing it?”

The corners of Shen Jun’s mouth curled up slightly. “Yes, I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was young.”

Wen Nian nodded, understanding the importance of self-defense, especially for children from wealthy families who might be seen as valuable targets by potential kidnappers. With this in mind, she asked Shen Jun with curiosity, “So, you must be really powerful, right? Even more powerful than our school’s martial arts president?”

Shen Jun glanced at Wen Nian and smiled. “I’m already at the eighth level. What do you think?”

There were a total of nine levels in mixed martial arts. The first level was the most basic, and the ninth level was the most powerful.

Shen Jun, usually known for his low-key personality, was unaware that he had deviated from his usual demeanor. In this moment, he resembled a male peacock displaying its vibrant feathers, showcasing himself in a more assertive and high-profile manner to the person he held affection for.

Observing Wen Nian’s slightly agape mouth and the admiration shining in his eyes, Shen Jun couldn’t help but feel a surge of satisfaction.

After class, Zheng Mo stopped Wen Nian. “Wen Nian, 1 have something to trouble you with.”

This was the last class in the afternoon. She still had tutoring session with Shen Jun after class. And so, Wen Nian asked Shen Jun to wait for him in the classroom.

As Zheng Mo and Wen Nian remained in the classroom, a faint blush graced Zheng Mo’s cheeks. She looked at Wen Nian with shyness in her eyes and said, “I was wondering if I could trouble you to accompany me tonight to buy a dress.”

Wen Nian looked shocked, then asked tentatively, “Are you in a relationship?”

Zheng Mo hurriedly shook her head and said disappointedly, “No.”

Wen Nian asked again, “A crush?”

Zheng Mo glanced at Wen Nian and replied in a low voice, “Yes..”
