Chapter 23 – Different wavelengths (Translated by Xing and edited by Souhi)

Li Yubing only scrutinized Tang Xue’s expression and did not press her for a reply . He recapped the soy milk bottle and casually mentioned, “I haven’t settled the score with you for the socks . ”

“What socks, I don’t know what you’re talking about . ”

Li Yubing raised the hand holding the bottle and extended the bottle to prop up Tang Xue’s chin . He lightly raised it and forced her to lift her face . Li Yubing said, “Who are you pretending for . ”

This gesture made Tang Xue inexplicably felt like she had been mocked . She irately slapped away the bottle and furiously glared at him . “You lunatic, don’t think that I don’t dare to beat you up!”

Her eyes were rounded from glaring and her dark pupils were bright . With her hackles raised, she seemed like some small cat or rabbit that had been provoked . Her expression was tense, as if she was about to face a huge enemy . Her teenage face was softly curved and her wheat coloured skin was tinted an orange red by the glow of the setting sun . At first glance, she gave off the impression that she was more bashful than angry .

“You broke your promise . ” Li Yubing mildly said .

Tang Xue’s neck stiffened . She thuggishly said, “So what?”

“I’m going to punish you,” Saying this, Li Yubing did not wait for her response before raising his hand and pinching her face .

Tang Xue: “……”

Warm and lightly calloused fingers pressed against her skin . The sensation was not painful but it made her felt humiliated .

After Li Yubing let go, Tang Xue rubbed her face . Feeling a little speechless, she looked at him . “Li Yubing, are you a pervert?”

He ignored her and turned to leave, one hand on the bag strap hanging over his shoulder and the other mindlessly tossing the soy milk bottle that was still in his hand .  This is translation is meant to be published only on teafragrance[dot]wordpress[dot]com .

Tang Xue caught up with him on her skates and kept pace with him . In a cautionary tone, she said, “Li Yubing, I’m warning you . You can’t fall in love with me . We’re not suitable for each other . The two of us are on completely different wavelengths . ”

Li Yubing burst into laughter . He gave her a sideways glance, his eyes full of disdain . “I beg you, please go back and take a good look at yourself in the mirror . Don’t worry, even if every other woman in the world has died, I still won’t choose you . ”

Tang Xue crossed her arms . “Ohhhhh right . You can still have s.e.x with men . ”

Li Yubing: = =

Tang Xue held her chin and shook her head . “I’m different from you . If all the men in the world has died and you’re the only one left, I’ll……”

Li Yubing raised a brow . “You’ll what?”

Tang Xue gave a brilliant smile . “I’ll lock you up and give you a good tras.h.i.+ng . ”

Li Yubing rolled his eyes . “Lunatic . ”

Li Yubing rolled his eyes . “Lunatic . ”

“And then……” She suddenly snickered sinisterly, her smug laughter full of evil intent and a hint of lewdness .

Li Yubing’s brows ticked . He thought, could it be that this rascal planned to get it on with him after tras.h.i.+ng him? That pervert!

Tang Xue: “Then, I’ll let you watch that kind of films . ”

Li Yubing: Heh, there’s even foreplay .

Tang Xue: “And then, I’ll let someone collect all your ‘children’ and store them in the hospital . In the future, whenever someone wants a baby, they can go to the hospital for artificial insemination . ”

Li Yubing: “……”

What a refres.h.i.+ngly “unique” train of thought .

Tang Xue looked at Li Yubing with disappointment . “See, while you were thinking of having s.e.x with men, I came up with a solution for the great concern of how to continue the human race . You can see for yourself . I’m on a completely different level from you . ”

Li Yubing replied testily, “Who’s thinking of having s.e.x with men……”

Tang Xue continued the scenario in the head till the point where Li Yubing died from excessive e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n . Pleased with this outcome, she whistled and skated off .  This translation is a labour of love that should not be found/reposted outside of teafragrance[dot]wordpress[dot]com .

Looking at her back view, Li Yubing thought, this rascal certainly did not skate over from this direction…… At this thought, he turned his head and looked towards the sports field .

Over there, the forgotten Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan were still carrying Tang Xue’s stuff . At this moment, they were awkwardly looking at him .

Li Yubing touched his nose and looked at the sky . He pretended to turn nonchalantly and escaped the scene .

……

That night, the battle on the sport field spread like wildfire on WeChat . As a result of this incident, Tang Xue gained a little fame . There was even someone who added her on WeChat and confessed . The next day, when she was having lunch in the canteen, a female senior recognized her and treated her to a chicken drumstick .

As she munched on the drumstick, Tang Xue was extremely pleased with herself . She asked Li Yubing, “Li Yubing, you’re also considered someone famous in school . Have anyone bought you a drumstick before?”

Li Yubing could not be bothered to respond . He was a little lifeless today because he had a terrible dream last night .

Liao Zhenyu paused eating and lifted his head . He told Tang Xue, “Boss, the club president is hosting a dinner at the Sky Yard tomorrow night . Are you coming?”

Tang Xue was puzzled . “Your club dinner? Why would I be there?”

“It’s not a club dinner . The club president wants to treat all those who helped to resolve this crisis to a meal . ”

“Oh, I see . What time is it at?”

“It’s not a club dinner . The club president wants to treat all those who helped to resolve this crisis to a meal . ”

“Oh, I see . What time is it at?”

“6 pm . Oh, right . ” At this, a mysterious smile appeared on Liao Zhenyu’s face . He lowered his voice and said, “Boss, the cutie that you’ve set your sights on will be there as well . ”

Tang Xue stared blankly . “What cutie?”

“That dude whom you tried to pick up with soy milk when we were having supper together previously . Have you forgotten? He’s from the figure skating team and was also there yesterday . You didn’t see him?”

Tang Xue did not reply his question and only asked, “What was he doing there yesterday?”

“Well, the club president originally planned to ask the figure skating team for help and so invited him over . He’s called Yu Yan and it’s said that he’s an extremely gifted youth . He’s only 17 this year . Boss, you’re going to be a cradle robber . ”

Tang Xue used her chopsticks to rap Liao Zhenyu’s head . “What nonsense . Eat your lunch . ”

Liao Zhenyu proceeded to take two bites before once again lifting his head and asked, “Eh, Boss, so are you going or not?”

“Going . Why not . ”

Hearing this, Li Yubing who was silently eating at the side lightly snorted . “Humph . ”
