CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 401 AH, I’M BLINDED!

In consideration of the crowded train, both teachers, despite having countless questions they wanted to ask Zhen Yu, chose to endure for the time being. The onlooking passengers also returned to their seats, and although from time to time they would still whisper and point at Zhen Yu, the four of them had no intention of making a fuss.

Mr. Fang went back to his original seat, while Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue sat side by side across from the two teachers. No one intended to take the seat just vacated by that man—everyone was inwardly repulsed!

In Zhen Yu’s view, this incident could be considered over.

Just as she was about to find something cheerful to talk about with Han Mingyue, the passenger sitting by the window on the inside next to Mr. Fang suddenly spoke up, "Young lady, where exactly did you hide your knife? I was sitting right here and saw clearly that you were holding it. How did it suddenly disappear?!"

Hearing this, the faces of both teachers darkened at once! Zhen Yu glanced coldly at this man who had remained an onlooker throughout and was about to deflect with the word "magic" when Han Mingyue suddenly interjected in a cold voice, "If you don’t want to end up like the one who left, I’d advise you to shut up right now!"

In a flash, the train compartment was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Both teachers looked at Han Mingyue in surprise; evidently, neither had expected that this gentle, polite boy who blushed when he smiled would say something like this.

The male passenger’s face turned ugly upon hearing this, but he really didn’t ask any further.

Clearly, he recalled the pervert’s misery and embarrassment! Perhaps he even remembered a certain unpleasant odor...

——

Zhen Yu looked at Han Mingyue, and he returned her gaze with determination. Thus, Zhen Yu immediately smiled and said, "I’m a bit sleepy."

"Then lean on me and take a nap!" Han Mingyue instantly responded.

"Okay." After agreeing, Zhen Yu wrapped her arm around Han Mingyue’s without a care and closed her eyes, gently leaning on his shoulder.

Mr. Fang and Teacher Zhang exchanged wordless glances, the same thought in both their minds!

"Ah, I’m blinded!"

Han Mingyue hadn’t expected Zhen Yu to be so bold, to make such an intimate gesture in front of both teachers.

He bashfully raised his other hand to cover his eyes and brows, feigning several times to rub his forehead as if to distract himself. However, the eyes hiding beneath his palm were still fixed on the girl snuggling against him.

Zhen Yu had used "sleepiness" as an excuse, but to her surprise, she actually fell asleep shortly after closing her eyes.

With the gentle swaying of the train, once Zhen Yu fell asleep, her little head began to slip into Han Mingyue’s embrace...

Han Mingyue’s left arm was encircled in her hug, leaving only his right hand free! So he awkwardly tilted his head to support her head and used his right hand to hold her shoulder, then clenched his left fist and lifted it a bit, barely stopping her body from sliding. His entire posture was as awkward as if he was playing a violin, extremely difficult to maintain. However, the result was significant, as Zhen Yu, supported by these three points, slept very soundly.

Mr. Fang, the literarily inclined middle-aged man, and Teacher Zhang, bursting with girlish sentiment, were indeed a perfect combination. Both nodded approvingly in unison yet neither offered to help.

Maintaining such a posture would quickly become tiring. To distract himself, Han Mingyue turned his gaze outside the train window. The endless fields sped past his view, exuding the vitality of a land filled with the vigor of spring, just like his mood at that moment. For a while, Han Mingyue was utterly captivated.

——

The raindrops began falling unnoticed at some point, and by the time Han Mingyue realized it, they had already joined into lines and soon became a sheet, escalating into a downpour.

As the scenery outside the window was no longer in view, Zhen Yu was disturbed by the sound of the rain and woke up.

It was tranquilly quiet inside the carriage, with many passengers having laid down to sleep.

She asked without even opening her eyes, "Is it raining?"

"Yeah, it’s raining. Are you cold?"

Han Mingyue’s voice was close at earshot, causing Zhen Yu to suddenly open her eyes, then immediately sit up straight. "Ah, um, I fell asleep..."

The girl who was just ’fearless’ suddenly became overly cautious, and her whole demeanor seemed particularly constrained.

Han Mingyue lowered his gaze, and a faint arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

Then he let his arms hang and gently turned his neck once more, asking again, "...Are you cold? I’ll find a jacket for you!"

"Ah? Oh, alright!"

Han Mingyue stood up, intending to reach for the backpack on the luggage rack, but as soon as he lifted his arm, he hissed in pain and his arms stiffened mid-air.

Seeing this, Zhen Yu immediately stood up and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing!" Han Mingyue quickly responded and, despite the soreness, took Zhen Yu’s backpack down from the luggage rack.

Just as he placed the backpack on the seat, Teacher Zhang’s voice rang out.

"What do you mean nothing! You’ve been supporting her while Zhen Yu was sleeping, now your arms must be terribly sore!? Quickly move them around!"

"Mhm." Han Mingyue replied embarrassingly and obediently began to stretch his arms.

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and quickly pulled out a jacket from the backpack to put it on. Then, she pushed the backpack further inside, moving it right next to the window.

"Come here! Let me give you a massage!"

Han Mingyue froze for a moment, his arms becoming stiff in the air once again.

This idiot! Zhen Yuxin was secretly annoyed, yet she only repeated herself, "Come here!"

"Oh!" Han Mingyue, noticing the change in Zhen Yu’s tone, obediently stepped forward and sat down properly with both hands lightly resting on his thighs.

Zhen Yu: "..."

I’m totally defeated by him! He can be so infuriating! How am I supposed to massage his shoulders with him sitting like that?!

Han Mingyue was sitting back against the chair while Zhen Yu hesitated for a moment before deciding to stand beside him and grabbed one of his arms!

The faint scent filled his nose, and Han Mingyue’s heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat! His eyes involuntarily started to drift towards Zhen Yu, but then he promptly restrained himself and looked down at the ground.

Because he was sitting and Zhen Yu was standing, this angle...

For Mr. Fang and Teacher Zhang, this whole trip had been a feast of dog food!

Despite clearly knowing that the relationship between these two students couldn’t be considered ’normal,’ they couldn’t find any valid reason to give ’advisory instruction’! Or maybe, deep down, they didn’t want to ruin the innocent fun of these young lovers.

Perhaps, this was the ’special grace’ only students with good grades could enjoy.

"Xiao Yu! No need to massage anymore!" Just as Zhen Yu leaned in to help massage Han Mingyue’s shoulders, he suddenly shifted sideways and stopped her.

"Done?"

"Done!" Han Mingyue only glanced at Zhen Yu before shifting his gaze away.

Zhen Yu’s eyes were too clear, by contrast, he felt...
