Chapter 490: It’s My Heart That’s Really Sour, Not the Passionfruit

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Being confessed to by Li Ao in the underground corridor, Han Miao was more or less agitated. She was distracted the entire time during the English hearing test and didn’t hear clearly what was being said on the radio.

After the broadcast ended and the entire school fell silent, Han Miao snapped out of her trance.

She stared at the blank panel on the answer sheet and realized belatedly that she had not heard the contents of the exam at all. She was stunned for two seconds before answering according to her previous experience.

She chose B, C, and D for the last two questions.

Han Miao used a 2b pencil to draw the answer. Seeing that the invigilator was sitting behind the lecture table doing some work and not watching the students’ every move at all times, Han Miao finally dared to turn back and peek at Li Ao on the right.

Li Ao’s English results were very good. He scored full marks every time he returned to the exam. It was all thanks to his perfect English results that he could sit in this classroom for the exam and not in the examination hall in the basement.

Li Ao was writing something quickly on the paper. Han Miao guessed that Li Ao had already finished the paper and was writing an English essay.

This was really fast.

As Li Ao wrote, he suddenly stopped writing and looked up at Han Miao.

Han Miao didn’t have the time to look away.

Having already been caught spying on her by Li Ao, it didn’t seem appropriate to pretend to be serious. Han Miao and Li Ao looked at each other. Just as Han Miao felt bored and wanted to turn around to seriously do the exam paper, Li Ao suddenly smiled at Han Miao.

The handsome youth smiled and the examination hall turned into heaven.

Han Miao was stunned.

He smiled at me? 

Neil actually smiled at me during the exam! He wanted to distract me and score better than me. Will he sit in front of me next time? 

The two of them were so emotional that they didn’t notice that the invigilator had already noticed them.

The invigilator picked up a pen and threw it at Han Miao’s head. Li Ao saw it and instantly shot the teacher a displeased look.

The invigilator shouted, “Those two students, what are you looking at? Are you communicating with your answers through space? Or are you communicating your feelings?” The invigilator was the English teacher of Class 5. He had a rather deep impression of Han Miao and Li Ao from Class 22.

The reason was very simple. Han Miao and the student in their class, Han Jun, were twins. Han Jun was the legend of the entire grade. The teacher naturally had a deep impression of Han Miao.

Before Li Ao came, Han Jun was the only one who got first place in the English exam. After Li Ao came, he also got full marks in the English exam every time.

With Li Ao around, the English teacher of Class 22 became very spirited and spoke loudly. The timid and shy her in the past now dared to flaunt her strength on WeChat.

He felt that the form teacher of Class 22’s swagger on WeChat was rather cute. Last month, he had pursued her and now saw the light of victory.

Thanks to Li Ao, he might be able to escape from being single successfully.

Everyone in the examination hall looked up at Han Miao and Li Ao, curious why the two of them were looking at each other instead of doing their questions properly.

Han Miao’s face was red. She hurriedly held her pen and lowered her head to do the questions seriously.

Seeing that Han Miao was finishing her question, Li Ao also lowered his head and continued writing.

Li Ao only spent 40 minutes to finish writing the entire paper. After that, he had nothing to do and just sat there, occasionally looking up at Han Miao’s back.

The English exam could be handed in half an hour early. Li Ao was the first to hand in the exam paper. Then, he took his cell phone from the invigilator.

After he got his cell phone, he turned and glanced at Han Miao before leaving.

Han Miao still had an English essay to read and write. She didn’t notice Li Ao’s movements and was engrossed in writing her paper.

The bell signaling the end of the exam rang. Han Miao also stopped writing at the same time. She placed the paper on the table and turned to look at Li Ao’s seat. Only then did she realize that Li Ao had already left.

Han Miao pouted and cursed in her heart. Li Ao, you abandoned me on the first day of your relationship and handed in your exam paper alone, little jerk!

Wangdong High School’s teaching block had been established for nearly 14 years and didn’t have any geothermal facilities. As it was too cold in the winter, the school had installed radiators.

The classroom was still warm, but it was very cold outside. The cold wind could scrape off a layer of flesh on one’s face.

The sun was high today and there was no wind. It was very suitable for going out. Han Miao sat in the examination hall for two hours and her butt hurt slightly. She got up and went to the toilet. Seeing that there was still more than 10 minutes of rest, she wanted to take a walk under the sun.

The teaching building was next to the administration building. There was a fountain square in front of the administration building. Passing through the announcement platform on the first floor was the fountain square.

Han Miao stuffed her hands in her pockets. Just as she walked up to the noticeboard, she saw Li Ao.

Li Ao came back from the supermarket with two cups of milk tea, one mango-flavored and the other red bean.

Li Ao was wearing a light gray down jacket with a white turtleneck sweater. His zipper was unbuttoned, and his legs were long and slender. His figure was superior.

He seemed to have grown taller and gained some weight recently. Walking on the crowded path, he was the one with the most outstanding appearance and temperament.

If he was given two more years to grow, he would definitely be even more outstanding.

Han Miao stared at him and more or less understood why this person was chosen as the school hunk the moment he arrived.

Han Miao walked closer with the milk tea in her hand. She stood beside Han Miao and handed the cup of red bean milk tea to her. When he first came to school to study, he often saw Han Miao and Baby Tian buying milk tea. Every time, Han Miao would drink this flavor.

Han Miao took the milk tea and touched his fingers.

Li Ao glanced at her in confusion, not sure if Han Miao had touched him on purpose or accidentally. Han Miao took a sip of milk tea and ate two to three sweet red beans. Her mood instantly improved.

“Go get some sunlight.”

Li Ao nodded and followed Han Miao to the fountain square.

One was the school beau and the other was the recognized top flower in the second year of high school. When the two of them walked together and held the same brand of milk tea, it was hard not to attract attention.

Han Miao knew that someone was looking at them and was slightly shy. In order to distract herself, she asked Li Ao, “You handed in your paper early to buy milk tea for me?”

Li Ao took out his cell phone from his down jacket and wrote: [There are many people in the supermarket and the waterhouse. There’s no need to queue if you go early.]

Han Miao saw the message and felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.

Li Ao was an angel.

Han Miao noticed that Li Ao’s nose was red from the cold. She handed the milk tea to Li Ao. Li Ao took the milk tea and looked at her in confusion, thinking that she didn’t want to drink it anymore.

Han Miao smiled at him and said, “If you don’t put on your clothes properly, who are you showing them to!” Han Miao bent down, fastened Li Ao’s zipper, and pulled it all the way to the top of the down jacket.

Li Ao had a comic face and was a typical handsome young man. His clothes were all closed, making his petite face look even more exquisite.

Li Ao’s ears turned red for some reason.

Han Miao stared suspiciously at his ears and evasive eyes. She thought of something and silently looked down. Seeing something, Han Miao’s face instantly reddened. “Neil, why are you such a hooligan!”

I had only put on clothes for him and he actually… 

Luckily, he was wearing a long down jacket that blocked out places that shouldn’t be seen and no one noticed him.

Li Ao silently took a step back, not daring to get too close to Han Miao.

Han Miao didn’t say much. She had received a sexual education since she was young and naturally understood that sex was normal. Everyone had sexual urges, but what we needed to learn was to control them.

“Let’s go to the exam.” Han Miao finished her milk tea and brought Li Ao back to the examination hall.

…

After the final exam ended, Han Miao took her answer and compared it with Han Jun’s. Han Jun’s answer was almost the standard answer. With the two of them together, Han Miao knew her results.

“Not bad, you can pass all of them.” Han Miao didn’t have high expectations. She just needed to pass each subject. Han Jun didn’t have high expectations either. She just wanted to get full marks for each subject. But even a god couldn’t get full marks for all of them. That was a realm.

After the exam, Han Miao and her siblings were sent back to Imperial Dragon Mountain by Yan Qingxiu.

The winter vacation was on the 21st of December and there were still a few days before the Spring Festival. The siblings had not gone on a holiday since the summer vacation. Considering the cold winter, the three of them finally decided to go to Guilin in the south.

Han Jun informed Song Ci and Han Zhan of their decision. Han Zhan heard that they were going out to play and didn’t have any objections. Instead, Song Ci heard about this and said to them, “Ask Chu Yu if she wants to go with you guys. It’s more lively with more people.”

“Okay.”

Song Ci told him in the WeChat group.

Yan Jiang suddenly said: [Yan Chuyu’s results for his final exam are not ideal. He’s playing autistic at home. It’s good to go out and play.]

Han Wangwang appeared and asked: [How much did Chuyu score?]

Yan Jiang: [Chinese: 109, Mathematics: 114, English: 118, Physics: 96, Chemistry: 80, History and Politics: 98.] Yan Chuyu and the rest had a total score of 120 for the language department, while the political history exam was combined. History accounted for 40 points and politics 60 points.

His results were already very good.

Seeing this result, Han Wangwang sent several exclamation marks: [!!! Is this still not ideal?]

Song Fei: [He usually gets full marks.] With such a smart mother like Song Fei, Yan Chuyu’s results couldn’t be too bad.

Seeing what his parents were discussing in the group, Yan Chuyu suddenly said: [I fell out of love and didn’t do well. My results aren’t ideal so I closed myself in.]

The atmosphere in the group instantly turned awkward.

The person who made Yan Chuyu fall out of love was none other than Han Wangwang’s husband, Jiang Zhen. The person who had an affair with Yan Chuyu was none other than Han Wangwang’s daughter.

Han Wangwang was so embarrassed that she didn’t know how to comfort Yan Chuyu.

At this moment, Jiang Zhen, who had taken some time to play with his cell phone during the meeting, also appeared and sent a message: [Kid, is this all you have? If your results are bad, it’s no wonder you fell out of love? Such a irresponsible child is not allowed to play with my Sheng Sheng in the future. @ Yan Chuyu.]

]No one expected Jiang Zhen to personally fight with a child.

Yan Chuyu had the same fearless attitude as his father, Yan Jiang, when he was stirring up trouble in the entertainment circle back then. Seeing Jiang Zhen’s words, not only was Yan Chuyu not afraid, he even boldly replied: [Mr. Jiang, what should I do? Sheng Sheng likes boys like me who have weak mental fortitude.] Behind him was a big smiley face.

Yan Jiang worked at the police station and couldn’t discipline Yan Chuyu. If he were at home, he would definitely snatch Yan Chuyu’s cell phone away at the first moment and not allow him to spout nonsense.

Jiang Zhen was about to scold him when Yan Chuyu sent another message: [I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang. I’m young and ignorant. I said something wrong. Don’t be angry.]

Jiang Zhen was speechless.

Jiang Zhen gently exhaled a mouthful of smoke, before tapping on the keyboard and sending a message: [Master, I know you’re apologizing on behalf of Yan Chuyu that brat.]

Song Fei was speechless.

Yan Chuyu switched to his alternate account and said: [Mother! You hacked my account again!]

Song Fei decided to ignore this lousy child.

Song Ci: [Well, let’s stop this topic first. Chuyu, do you want to go to Guilin with your elder brother and sister?]

Yan Chuyu: [Yes!]

Han Wangwang added: [Little Aunt, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Qing also wants to go.]

Song Ci didn’t agree. Instead, she asked: [Wangwang, aren’t you worried about letting Sheng Sheng go out with Chu Yu?]

Before Han Wangwang could speak, Yan Chuyu jumped out and said to Song Ci, [Aunty, am I a demon? I will protect Sheng Sheng well.]

Jiang Zhen appeared again: [Hehe, you’re protecting her? I’m guarding against you.]

The group started quarreling again. After arguing for a while, Jiang Zhen finally agreed to let the children go out to play. Han Miao wanted to bring Li Ao along, so she sent a message to Li Ao asking if he wanted to come along.

Li Ao had been drawing at home everyday and was slightly tired of it. Thinking that he could travel to Guilin, draw nature, and accompany Han Miao, he didn’t hesitate to pack his luggage and decided to follow them to play.

At the end of the December, it was spring. Considering that the high-speed rail tickets and plane tickets were tight, Han Miao and the rest took Han Zhan’s private plane to Guilin.

Amongst this group of children, Li Ao was the oldest. Logically speaking, he should be the one leading the team, but he didn’t know how to speak. Naturally, he didn’t have the right to lead the team.

Han Miao was the second oldest, but she was an unreliable person. No one dared to let her lead the team at ease.

Almost without any hesitation, everyone raised their hands to recommend Han Jun to lead the team. Although Han Jun hated trouble, the people who came along were all her family and friends. She could only accept this mission.

“I can lead the team, but you must listen to my arrangements. If you don’t, get lost.” Han Jun was such a decisive person.

Everyone nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

After reaching Guilin City, the group of them went straight to the residence and planned to visit Guilin Mountain the next morning.

Han Jun stayed in a room alone. Jiang Zhen wanted to guard against Yan Chuyu, so he asked Han Miao to stay in the same room as their Jiang Sheng. Li Ao and Han Zheng stayed in the same room, while Yan Chuyu was arranged to stay in the same room as Jiang Qing.

Once they arrived at the room, Yan Chuyu closed the door and grabbed the collar of Jiang Qing’s sweater, pressing him against the wall.

Jiang Qing was only 10 years old and still a child. Being pressed against the wall by Yan Chuyu, he was terrified and blushed. The child shouted timidly, “…Little Uncle…”

Jiang Qing and his sister needed to call Han Miao and the rest Little Aunt and Han Zheng Little Uncle. Yan Chuyu was in the same generation as Han Miao and the rest. Their mother was Jiang Zhen’s master, so they naturally had to call Yan Chuyu Little Uncle.

Yan Chuyu patted Jiang Qing’s face gently and threatened him in a low voice. “Jiang Qing, you caused your brother to fall out of love! Have you thought of how to atone for your sins?”

Jiang Qing was about to cry from fright.

His eyes were filled with tears as he cried out loud. “Uncle! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have complained! Uncle, don’t hit me! I’m still a child!”

Before Yan Chuyu could do anything to Jiang Qing, Jiang Qing burst into tears, scaring Yan Chuyu silly.

They lived in a retro-style house and the soundproofing was not good. Everyone in the room next door heard Jiang Qing’s cry.

Jiang Sheng and Han Miao stayed in the same room. Hearing his brother’s cries, Jiang Sheng ran to the room next door.

Han Zheng and Li Ao looked at each other and also went to the room next door.

“Open the door!”

Han Miao knocked on the door outside and said to Yan Chuyu, “Yan Chuyu! You’re not allowed to bully Jiang Qing! He’s only 10 years old. Can you bear to do it!”

Yan Chuyu opened the door and said to the brothers and sisters standing outside, “I’m innocent. I haven’t done anything to him…” Before Yan Chuyu could finish speaking, Jiang Qing quickly squeezed out from beside Yan Chuyu.

Jiang Qing stood in front of Yan Chuyu with reddened eyes, feeling very aggrieved. “Sister, Uncle! Aunt, you have to save me! Just now, when I entered the house, Little Uncle pressed me against the wall and hit me. He blamed me for complaining and breaking up him and my sister…”

Yan Chuyu was speechless.

Yan Chuyu understood every word Jiang Qing said, but when put together, Yan Chuyu couldn’t understand. “Little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about!”

Jiang Qing shuddered again when he heard Yan Chuyu’s words.

Jiang Sheng saw her brother’s tears and thought of Yan Chuyu’s character that dared to stab the heavens. She instantly believed her brother’s words.

Jiang Sheng pulled her brother behind her and hid her. She raised her beautiful face and condemned Yan Chuyu with a disappointed expression. “Yan Chuyu, breaking up with you is my decision. Why are you bullying my brother!”

Jiang Qing stood behind Jiang Sheng and winked at Yan Chuyu, looking slightly smug.

Yan Chuyu saw Jiang Qing’s expression and was so angry that he wanted to spank him.

Yan Chuyu was so angry that she laughed. “Let’s not talk about whether I beat him up or not, but his complaint is true! Can’t I blame him?”

Jiang Sheng was Yan Chuyu’s first love. The two of them used to hold hands often and were very close. Yan Chuyu felt that the reason why he and Jiang Sheng broke up was all because of Jiang Qing’s complaint last time.

When Jiang Sheng was angry, she was like a kitten showing its might. She was fierce and adorable. She shouted, “I broke up with you not because my brother complained. I wanted to break up by myself!”

Yan Chuyu roared, “I don’t believe it!” It was the first time a 15-year-old youth fell in love. He loved a girl with all his heart. Although he was like a little wolf cub, he had always doted on Jiang Sheng.

He liked Jiang Sheng very much. Jiang Sheng was fair and tender. Her face would turn red whenever she was teased. When she was shy, her eyes would be filled with water. One look at her and he would give his life to her.

Jiang Sheng was about to cry. She said, “My parents didn’t force me. I wanted to break up with you myself. Really.”

“Why!” Yan Chuyu asked her, “Am I not good to you? I have 2,000 yuan a month and I spend 1,500 yuan to buy snacks for you! The remaining 500 yuan is enough for me to buy water myself! Jiang Sheng, where can you find a boy like me who treats you well!”

As Jiang Sheng cried, she said, “But you touched my body! I’ve read books. The books say that a boy who touches a girl is a pervert!”

Everyone was speechless.

Yan Chuyu blushed. “What?”

Jiang Sheng wiped his tears and said, “Don’t think I don’t know. That time when I was doing homework at your house, I fell asleep and you secretly touched me!”

Yan Chuyu was angry and anxious. His face was red. The people who did not know might have thought that he really touched Jiang Sheng.

Yan Chuyu instinctively defended herself. “Oh my god, I’m innocent! I have a heater at home. That day, you were dozing off at my house and wearing a sweater and down jacket. I saw that your forehead was sweating and was worried that you would catch a cold from sweating on your back, so I touched your back through the thermal underwear. I thought that if you sweated, I would put a sweat towel on you. Forget it!”

“I really don’t have any other intentions! We are still children, so why should I touch you! You have yet to develop, so what’s there to touch! Touching myself is better than touching you!”

Everyone was speechless again.

Jiang Sheng was enraged by that sentence “I’d rather touch myself than you”. She questioned Yan Chuyu in disbelief, “You despise me for not developing? You despise me for having small breasts?”

Yan Chuyu was speechless.

Han Jun couldn’t stand it anymore. She said, “Shut up, all of you! Han Zheng, you sleep with Chu Yu. Jiang Qing, you sleep with Neil. All of you go back to sleep. If anyone makes any more noise, scram back to Wangdong City immediately.”

With Boss’s words, everyone quietened down.

When Jiang Qing returned to his room to get his luggage, Yan Chuyu glared at him fiercely. “Jiang Qing, I’ll remember you.”

Jiang Qing didn’t dare to speak and ran off with his luggage.

–

At night, Han Jun brought everyone to a noodle shop to eat snail powder. Li Ao frowned when he smelled the stench and refused to look up into the shop.

Han Miao told him, “This is very delicious. Really, it just smells smelly.”

Li Ao was skeptical.

He walked hesitantly into the noodle shop and ordered a bowl of snail powder like Han Miao. Seeing that everyone was engrossed in eating the noodles and even looked intoxicated, Li Ao tried a bite.

Li Ao’s expression turned strange when the snail powder entered his mouth.

He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and ran outside the noodle shop to take a breather. Han Miao quickly finished her snail powder and walked out. She asked him, “Is it very bad?”

Li Ao nodded without hesitation.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to eat something else.” Han Miao brought Li Ao around the city area and ate something else before returning to the hotel.

The next day, the seven of them set off to Li River to take a bamboo raft to tour Guilin Mountain. Something happened again this time. Jiang Sheng actually fainted!

She sat on the bamboo raft and felt nauseous when she saw the swaying river.

Yan Chuyu was paying attention to her at all times. Seeing that she kept touching her stomach with her hand, he wanted to ask if she was feeling unwell. But at the thought of being treated like that by Jiang Sheng yesterday, Yan Chuyu couldn’t lose face.

Jiang Sheng endured for a while. In the end, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and vomited by the side of the bamboo raft. Seeing this, Yan Chuyu reached out to pat Jiang Sheng’s back immediately and asked worriedly, “Sheng Sheng, why did you vomit?”

Jiang Qing was terrified. He pointed at Yan Chuyu, blushed angrily, and scolded. “Yan Chuyu! You actually made my sister pregnant!”

Children are so naive. 

Jiang Sheng leaned back in her chair and said weakly, “I’m dizzy.”

Han Jun explained by the side, “Fainting water is a mental illness. When patients see water flowing and swaying, they will feel dizzy, unsteady, and nauseous. Typically, people who are dizzy from water will also get seasick.”

Yan Chuyu knew that Jiang Sheng was seasick, but she didn’t expect her to be seasick even when sitting on a bamboo raft. The staff in charge of the boat saw that Jiang Sheng had vomited and hurriedly handed her a trash bag.

Yan Chuyu took the trash bag and changed seats with Jiang Qing. He sat beside Jiang Sheng. Once Jiang Sheng was about to vomit, he handed the bag to her.

Han Miao, who was sitting behind, watched this scene silently. She actually felt slightly envious. She turned to ask Li Ao, “Neil, if I were seasick, would you take care of me like this?”

Li Ao wrote on his cell phone: [You don’t faint.]

Han Miao: [I faint.]

Li Ao: [Then we won’t take the boat for the rest of our lives.]

Han Miao was satisfied with his answer.

Han Jun sat at the back. She heard Han Miao’s question and felt that Han Miao was moaning for no reason. She said, “Pretentious!”

Hearing this, Han Miao turned around and glared at Han Jun. “You can’t eat grapes and say that they are sour. If you have the guts, call your Young Master Xu over too.”

Han Jun didn’t lower herself to Han Miao’s level.

Returning to the hotel, Han Jun received a video call from Xu Qian.

Xu Qian had just gotten off work and was cooking. He placed his cell phone in the dining room. Han Jun stared at Xu Qian’s figure as he cooked. Some scenes from today’s tour flashed across her mind. She suddenly said, “Brother, I miss you.”

Xu Qian was so scared by Han Jun calling him elder brother that she nearly cut off her fingers.

He put down the knife and sea pepper in his hand and turned to stare at Han Jun with a strange expression. “What did you call me just now?”

Han Jun said, “Xu Qian?”

“No.”

Han Jun called out expressionlessly, “Brother.”

Xu Qian washed her hands, strode to the dining room, sat on the dining chair, picked up her cell phone, and said to Han Jun, “Call me again.”

Han Jun didn’t know which sensitive point her ‘brother’ hit. Hearing this, she called out again, “Brother.”

Xu Qian became gentle. “Mmm, good girl.”

Han Jun picked up a passionfruit and ate it with a spoon. She frowned from the sourness.

Xu Qian saw it and told her, “I want to make tea for this.”

Han Jun said, “This is not the most sour thing. The real sour thing is my heart.”

Xu Qian’s heart was filled with question marks. “Why are you jealous?”

“Today, I’ve been stuffed with dog food by them and my stomach is very sour.” Han Jun threw the passionfruit into the dustbin and stared at Xu Qian’s handsome face. She said, “I want you to accompany me.”

The girl said the most seductive words in her calmest tone and most composed expression.

Xu Qian took a deep breath and said, “I’m rather busy before the new year. I’ll bring you back to Kunlun after the new year.”

Han Jun raised her brows. “Your house?”

“Mmm.”

Han Jun was somewhat surprised. She asked curiously, “What good things have you got that I haven’t seen before? I won’t go without them.”

Xu Qian thought about it seriously before saying, “Your in-laws are all good things. Are you going?”

Han Jun was so scared that she hung up the video call.

I am only 17 years old and I’m going to meet my in-laws with Xu Qian? 

Speaking of which, mother-in-laws usually liked girls who smiled sweetly at everyone. A child with my character was probably not likable.

Han Jun stood up and stood in front of the mirror. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled at the mirror. Her smile was still beautiful, but very stiff, like a woman forced to smile on her first day at the brothel.

Han Jun slapped herself and scolded. “Idiot!”
