The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy-Chapter 1247 - 1247 Side Story 26: Ah Jin!

1247 Side Story 26: Ah Jin!

The sunlight fell on the corner of the table, reflecting a bright spot of light.

Shen Zhijin’s gaze was fixed on it. At that moment, he did not dare to turn his head to look at her.

He did not dare to answer her.

Gu Tingyin waited for a few seconds. However, seeing that he had no intention of answering, she was about to ask again when she suddenly noticed that the tip of his ears had become red.

!!

So… this was his answer.

She blinked and finally swallowed back the rest of her words. She stepped back a little and sat down obediently beside him.

The weather today was really good.

She thought.

The weather in late autumn was so hot.

A moment later, she moved her wrist slightly, wanting to fan herself.

However, at that moment, she suddenly realized that he was still holding her right wrist.

This slight movement finally woke him up and he immediately let go of her wrist.

However, the touch of softness on his fingertips remained and could not be wiped away.

Gu Tingyin did not look at him, but the corners of her lips curved up a little. Then, she took the book “Gravity of the Blackhole” that was in front of him.

Shen Zhijin was slightly stunned.

Gu Tingyin raised her chin to indicate the book bag.

“Didn’t you want to see that?”

After a while, Shen Zhijin finally took out a book and opened it.

Gu Tingyin’s eyes curved into crescents as she flipped open the title page to read as well.

…

Time passed by slowly. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Gu Tingyin sighed in her heart.

Indeed, no matter how much she liked him, she still could not understand Physics.

She could not help but turn her head to look at him quietly.

He had always been a serious and rigorous person, even when he was reading comics.

He sat with straight shoulders and a straight back, as if everything had been measured with a ruler without a single mistake.

He did not look as if he was reading a comic book, but more like he was reading some profound and incomprehensible literature.

It was such a lovely sight.

As this thought came to her mind, she could not bear to look away.

Of course, Shen Zhijin noticed her small movements.

Even though she had not made a sound, her eyes seemed to be burning hot, and he could not ignore it even if he wanted to.

Finally, he turned his head to look at her, and his eyes swept over the book in front of her.

“Don’t you want to read anymore?”

“I don’t understand it.”

She was being honest as she said this.

Shen Zhijin had explained a lot of the content to her many times, but she only ever seemed to understand part of it.

Previously, she would feel embarrassed about this, but after so many attempts, she had clearly realized that she did not have any talent in this area.

Even if she did not sleep for 24 hours, she still would not be able to catch up to him.

Moreover…

She looked at the comic book in his hand and smiled.

“I don’t look as good as you.”

She said with a smile.

Shen Zhijin stopped talking and lowered his head to read again.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

She realized that Shen Zhijin could not take her teasing. If she took it a little further, he would behave like this.

Step by step, he had made concessions and compromised.

The more times she did it, the more smug she became.

She leaned on the table and moved closer to him, her chin resting on the back of his hands.

“Shen Zhijin, is this book good?”

As soon as Shen Zhijin lowered his head, he could see the small head that occupied more than half of the table in front of him.

Her waist-length hair hung down and fell beside his hand.

They were clearly separated by a layer of clothing, but he could feel that the place he was being touched seemed to feel a little tingly.

He shifted his gaze and looked at the book again. He pursed his lips for a while before saying, “I don’t understand it.”

“Huh?”

...

Gu Tingyin turned around in surprise. Her little face was full of shock, as if she had just discovered a new continent.

“There’s actually something you don’t understand?”

As she turned around, she moved even closer.

As Shen Zhijin thought about this, he recalled what she had said earlier and nodded.

If he did not understand it, then he just did not understand. There was no shame in admitting it.

Even though he had been reading it very seriously, he still could not understand why she would smile so brightly every time she read these things.

For a while, Gu Tingyin stared at him in a daze. After a while, a smile gradually crept up the corners of her eyes.

“Shen Zhijin.”

She seemed to be very happy, and the corners of her lips curled up into a playful arc. She whispered, “It turns out that you can experience such a day too.”

Yes.

It turned out that such a day would come for him too.

...

His hidden thoughts were almost impossible to hide.

Gu Tingyin suddenly looked up and leaned over.

The sweet fragrance suddenly became stronger, disturbing his thoughts.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hand that he used to hold the book instantly tightened. His whole body tensed up as well.

It seemed as if there was an invisible force suppressing him. When she had approached him and broken the safe distance, he realized that he was in extreme danger, but he could not move or avoid it.

Or perhaps, he did not want to hide in the first place.

Gu Tingyin finally stopped an inch away from him. The tip of her nose twitched as she stared at the corner of his lips and mumbled, “Shen Zhijin, did you drink a peanut milkshake?”

The sweet smell was still there. It was very faint, but they were so close that she could vaguely smell it.

Shen Zhijin replied with a “hmm”.

She pouted a little.

She really liked that smell, but because she could not touch it, she could only smell it occasionally.

At the thought of this, she could not help but sniff and complain, “You did this on purpose!”

Shen Zhijin’s heart skipped a beat and he panicked for a moment.

However, the next moment, she retreated and muttered softly, “What’s so great about being able to drink peanut milkshakes anyway?”

She could just continue to smell it!

Shen Zhijin’s tense spirit finally relaxed.

After a moment, when the sweet smell gradually dissipated, he said, “Since you don’t want to read anymore, then…”

“Who said I’m not going to read?”

Gu Tingyin protected the book, as if she was afraid that he would snatch it away.

She had to read it even if she could not understand it!

Besides, what she was really reading was not the book.

She did not say this out loud, but her eyes already expressed this.

Shen Zhijin glanced at her but did not take her book away. He also lowered his head and continued to read the comic book.

So what if he did not understand?

She was here.

…

After that, they sat at the small round table and read books that neither person could understand.

Time seemed to pass very quickly, and the sun soon began to set.

Shen Zhijin stood up and moved to put the book “Gravity of the Blackhole” back in its place for her.

Gu Tingyin waited at her seat for a long time, but he did not return. In the end, she followed in the direction he had left in.

She walked past a row of bookshelves and saw him. She immediately called out, “Shen Zhijin? Shall we go?”

However, she took another two steps forward and saw that he was whispering something to a man who looked to be in his thirties. When they heard the sound, both of them looked over.

Only then did Gu Tingyin realize that she seemed to have disturbed them.

“I’m sorry, I…”

The man looked at her before turning to look at Shen Zhijin. He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“Ah Jin, so you’re here with a friend today?”

Gu Tingyin was stunned.

They looked like they were quite familiar with each other, didn’t they?

Shen Zhijin explained, “It was just a coincidence.”

A coincidence?

He did not come to this bookstore much.

The man smiled but he did not expose him.

“Alright, you guys go first. Don’t keep your friend waiting.”

Shen Zhijin paused for a moment, before finally saying, “Goodbye, Uncle Qi.”

…

The two of them left the bookstore together.

Gu Tingyin finally could not help but ask, “Ah Jin, who was that?”

Shen Zhijin suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Gu Tingyin blinked.

“You’re not… angry, are you?”

As Shen Zhijin looked at her, his eyes darkened.

She was keenly aware that the atmosphere did not seem right, and she puffed up her cheeks.

She was just joking…

If that person could call him that, why couldn’t she?

She thought about it for a moment, tilted her head slightly, and tried to negotiate with him in a soft voice.

“Then… why don’t you call me Yin Yin? Then we’ll be even!”

She had always been the best at acting shamelessly and coquettishly.

Seeing that he did not speak, she blinked again, her eyes bright.

“Hmm? Ah Jin?”
