I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 005

“Lin Xian, can you please speak properly!”

Don’t I have face?

She put aside her (jīn chí – reservedness) to discuss such a topic, and this scoundrel was still bullying her.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoman’s cheeks were puffed up, looking exceptionally cute.

Although Lin Xian couldn’t see her expression, from her tone, he felt that Yan Xiaoman’s expression at this moment must be very interesting.

So he continued to laugh, “I’m discussing Xiong Da and Xiong Er with you, what are you thinking about? School beauty Yan, you’ve been a class monitor for three years, your ideological awareness needs to be improved!”

“Lin Xian!”

Yan Xiaoman was so angry that her teeth itched. In her annoyance, she actually leaned forward and bit Lin Xian on the shoulder.

The sudden pain in his shoulder made the electric scooter somewhat uncontrollable. Lin Xian exclaimed, “Holy crap, are you a dog? Let go quickly!”

Feeling the electric scooter shaking, Yan Xiaoman also realized how dangerous it was and quickly let go.

Only then did she realize how bold her actions were, exactly like a bickering couple.

Normally, she always kept her distance from boys, not even touching their hands, but just now she actually bit Lin Xian.

This made Yan Xiaoman’s pretty face flush.

While feeling shy, a sense of retaliatory pleasure also arose in her heart.

Thinking about how Lin Xian had been bullying her ever since the bus stop, Yan Xiaoman couldn’t help but hum proudly, “That’s for bullying me!”

And seriously, Yan Xiaoman’s two small canine teeth bit quite painfully.

Lin Xian hissed, speechless, “Why did you bite so hard? Aren’t you afraid of causing a car accident?”

“Who told you not to speak properly and keep bullying me!” Yan Xiaoman retorted unhappily, then thought of something and continued, “Lin Xian, I noticed that you used to be very quiet in school. Why did you change so much after the college entrance exam?”

Lin Xian continued to tease, “Look at what you’re saying. In school, school beauty Yan was high above, surrounded by a group of admirers protecting her. How could I have had a chance to talk to you normally?”

Although the two were in the same class, they really didn’t have much interaction normally.

Lin Xian’s grades were only average, and coupled with his quiet personality, he wasn’t very noticeable in class. Yan Xiaoman’s grades were among the best in the entire grade, and she formed a small circle with a few girls, basically not interacting much with boys.

“Just keep mocking me!”

Yan Xiaoman narrowed her eyes and ground her small canine teeth. If it weren’t for safety concerns, she would have bitten this scoundrel to death.

It was strange to say, although Lin Xian kept teasing her, Yan Xiaoman didn’t reject it. On the contrary, she quite liked this way of talking.

Unlike other boys, who were always awkward when talking to her.

…

Amidst their laughter, the electric scooter had already entered the driving school.

Since they were not in the same training class, after parking the electric scooter, Lin Xian held his umbrella and waved, “School beauty Yan, see you later!”

And then he just left…

Left…

With such scorching sun, even if he didn’t give her the umbrella, he should at least escort her to the training area, right?

“This scoundrel! A total straight man!”

Watching his retreating back, Yan Xiaoman stomped her foot in annoyance.

“Xiaoman!”

A clear voice sounded from behind.

Yan Xiaoman turned her head and saw that it was her best friend, Li Weiwei.

Li Weiwei had a mischievous smile on her face, as if she had discovered some secret, and her eyes kept scanning her up and down.

“Weiwei, what’s wrong?” Yan Xiaoman felt a little unnerved by her gaze.

Li Weiwei laughed teasingly, “Hehe! Xiaoman, are you and Lin Xian… hmm, you know!”

“No such thing!” Yan Xiaoman denied.

“I knew you’d argue, but I saw it all. You holding the umbrella, him riding the bike, being all lovey-dovey the whole way.” Li Weiwei said with a knowing wink and a smile.

“It’s really not, I just missed the bus, so I asked him to give me a ride to the driving school.”

After listening to Yan Xiaoman’s explanation, Li Weiwei, the gossip monger, was a little disappointed.

Oh, the gossip she had within reach was gone…

Watching Lin Xian’s retreating direction, Li Weiwei said meaningfully, “Actually, I find Lin Xian quite handsome. His skin is super good, and he smiles very warmly.”

Handsome and good skin, Yan Xiaoman admitted.

But, warm?

She secretly pouted, thinking to herself that she wished she could bite this scoundrel to death.

…

“Old Lin, over here.”

As soon as he arrived at the training area, Lin Xian saw Wang Zixuan standing under the sunshade, waving at him.

Wang Zixuan was Lin Xian’s deskmate and a close friend he had grown up with.

The sunshade was completely ineffective. This guy was almost sun-dried into a salted fish, and sweat kept dripping down his cheeks. Seeing Lin Xian holding an umbrella, Wang Zixuan immediately ducked under it, wiped his sweat, and gasped, “Holy crap, it’s too damn hot today. I’ve been standing here for ten minutes and feel like I’m getting heatstroke.”

“Who told you not to bring an umbrella!” Lin Xian laughed.

“My mom told me to, but I thought it was too girly for a big man to carry an umbrella.” Wang Zixuan handed him a bottle of iced coke and asked, “Why are you so late today? The coach has been here for a while.”

Lin Xian casually explained, “I ran into Yan Xiaoman on the way, and she asked me to take her to the driving school, so I was delayed for a bit.”

“Not bad, Old Lin, school beauty Yan actually asked you to take her. Does she have a thing for you?”

The soul of gossip exists in both men and women. At this moment, a blazing fire of gossip burned in Wang Zixuan’s eyes.

Lin Xian smiled without answering, and instead asked, “How are things going with Zhang Maoyao?”

“It’s going okay!”

Wang Zixuan scratched his head, then changed the subject, saying with a bit of a headache, “It’s just that I feel my luck is too bad.”

“How so?” Lin Xian asked curiously.

“Every time I try to chat with Zhang Maoyao, the timing is wrong. It always happens to be when she’s about to sleep or take a shower. Don’t you think that’s unlucky?”

Looking at Wang Zixuan’s serious expression, Lin Xian couldn’t help but fall into deep thought…

Who gave this guy the courage to say “it’s going okay”?

After a long silence, Lin Xian patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “Xiao Wang, I think Zhang Maoyao might not be suitable for you.”

As a close friend, he felt it was necessary to advise Wang Zixuan, so that this guy wouldn’t go further down the path of being a simp.

“It’s alright, I think it’s quite suitable.” Wang Zixuan showed a happy smile.

Lin Xian regretted it a little. He shouldn’t have agreed to Wang Zixuan’s request to help him get Zhang Maoyao’s QQ number in the first place.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a simp…

“Alright then, good luck!”

Seeing that he was enjoying himself, Lin Xian said nothing more.

Men, after all, have to experience some setbacks before they slowly grow.
