Chapter 113 - Embarrassment By The Tranquil Ocean  

"Heh! Lu Rongrong was so full of herself just then, thinking to snitch on us to the teacher... Hmph, serves her right this time! That’s reaping what you sow!"

Chen Xinyi chuckled delightfully and gave Yun Jian a thumbs up. "Jian Jian is the best!"

Yun Jian smiled at her with crescent eyes.

Looking at the bubbly girl, she thought of Lu Feiyan who was still in Xinjiang Town. The latter was the first truthful friend of hers since her rebirth.

She wondered how Lu Feiyan was doing in Xinjiang Town and if she was coping well. There were also the members of the basketball team.

She would meet them again in one year’s time.

...

A week passed by in a flash. Yun Jian now slept in classes. Though due to her terrific results, the teachers turned a blind eye.

During the first few days of her rebirth, she would still pay attention to her lessons. However, asking her to face workbooks and questions that she already knew by heart with great ardor, she could no longer concentrate in class.

When school dismissed on Friday, Zhang Shaofeng reminded Yun Jian, "Master, I’ll see you at the bottom of Longtou Mountain tomorrow night! Remember, it’s six in the evening. Don’t be late!"

The underground fight was to start at six in the evening, tomorrow.

Yun Jian nodded as she slung her backpack over a shoulder and left the school.

She was not going home. Instead, she was going to the outskirts of Longmen City.

The evening sky was beautiful. The pink clouds that hung in the sky stained and shadowed the land with pink sunset hues, as if putting a veil on earth like a shy young lady who covered her face.

Longmen City was a coastal city and its city center was the nearest to the coastline.

Walking past rows of bustling shops, Yun Jian came to the tranquil seaside.

There was no sandy beach but the waves crashing the shore gave her a sense of peace that came from the bottom of her heart.

Yun Jian sat down by the waterside and looked up into the dusk, deep in her thoughts.

Her current life was wonderful. It was carefree. She did not have to worry about being assassinated all the time, nor facing the oppression of death. She did not know how long she could spend her days in peace like this either.

She knew that tomorrow would be another battle. The underground ring match would be her new starting point taking her back into her old circle of life.

With the comfortable warmth of the sunset glow, Yun Jian sat on the spot and stretched, wearing a faint smile.

Suddenly, a fair, flawless, big hand landed on Yun Jian’s wrist.

She was stunned. Someone had managed to approach her without her noticing!

Giving a sideways glance, she saw Si Yi’s sharp features on his impeccable face.

"Why are you here?" Yun Jian wanted to pull her wrist out from Si Yi’s warm palm but she was not as strong as he was.

"Guess." Si Yi’s baritone voice spilled from his thin lips. He got closer to Yun Jian, his exquisite face sticking closer to hers. So close that his puffs of air were nearly exhaled against her face.

Si Yi’s large hand was still gripping Yun Jian’s smaller one.

The girl shrunk, having never been so intimate with a man, and leaned back to pull her hand harder out of his steel grip.

In spite of it, Si Yi’s large hand remained latched on her wrist. It put a frown on Yun Jian.

"Let go of me first." Yun Jian wrenched his hand with her other hand.

"No." Si Yi’s grip tightened.

Yun Jian’s dainty wrist was smooth and supple, almost like a newborn baby’s skin.

Yun Jian pressed her lips together while her hand struck Si Yi’s head with a chop as an attempt to have him release her wrist. Unexpectedly, Si Yi tilted his head to avoid her attack while keeping his grip.

Simultaneously, Yun Jian extended her leg to kick Si Yi’s.

It came as a surprise to her when Si Yi did not let go of her hand and had, instead, pulled her into his embrace before both of them rolled by the shore.

When they rolled to a stop, one of Si Yi’s hands was still clasped around Yun Jian’s wrist while another was placed on Yun Jian’s c.h.e.s.t as he was defending against her attack. It was right on her b.r.e.a.s.ts – her b.r.e.a.s.ts!

One of them was coincidentally on top of another in a suggestive position. This was something none of them had expected.

Yun Jian’s face flushed instantly in embarrassment.
