Chapter 19: Mock art exam, explosive tips!

“Goodbye, woo woo woo woo~”

Zhou Ye waved goodbye to her best friend, covering her mouth and sobbing, tears streaming down her face.

Her introverted nature required outgoing friends. The cold, icy Zhou Ye was completely melted by the fiery passion of Xiao Tian, and in just four short months, they became the best of friends. This was an experience Zhou Ye had never had before.

It was understandable why she was crying so sadly.

Yu Wenliang teased her.

“Hey, you forgot your tissues, didn’t you? Your snot and tears are almost mixing together!”

“Get lost! Stop teasing me… woo woo woo…”

Zhou Ye tearfully punched Yu Wenliang.

Unexpectedly, he pulled out a large pack of tissues from behind him and, feigning disgust, threw them into her arms.

“Stay away from me, don’t wipe your tears and snot on me, it’s disgusting!”

“I’ll wipe it, I’ll wipe it!”

Zhou Ye pulled out several tissues, wiped away her tears, and pretended her hands were dirty, reaching out to grab at Yu Wenliang, trying to wipe the snot he supposedly found disgusting (but wasn't actually there) onto him. “Hehehe, scared now? Hehe…”

Yu Wenliang dodged and weaved.

Zhou Ye, who had been immersed in sadness, was amused and burst into laughter.

However, Yu Wenliang did not continue to evade her as she had expected.

When he saw Zhou Ye smile, Yu Wenliang took the opportunity to grab Zhou Ye’s small hand. It was cool and soft, like a piece of freshly cooled tofu, incredibly white, smooth, and tender. “You want to touch me? I’m a hard CC, can you react in time, you old hag?”

In the bustling train station.

Yu Wenliang, under the guise of playing a meme, naturally held Zhou Ye’s hand.

A shy Zhou Ye’s face turned red. She tried to shake her hand free from his grasp, but found she couldn't break away at all…

“I have snot on my hand! Aren’t you afraid of getting dirty?”

“No.”

Yu Wenliang held her hand even tighter. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Ye heard this, she shyly lowered her pretty face. Her small hand, which had been resisting fiercely, relaxed and even actively opened her palm, seeking Yu Wenliang’s large hand, intertwining with his fingers, locking them together…

Anyway, there were no acquaintances here.

Anyway, he was taking advantage of her.

It should be fine if I secretly hold his hand for a little while, right…

Zhou Ye, for once, took the initiative. Holding his hand, she looked up at Yu Wenliang:

“Thank you, Yu Wenliang. If it weren’t for you, I definitely wouldn’t have made it to graduation day.”

“Your hand is so soft, it’s just too cold. The experience is a bit lacking…”

“Hey! Yu Wenliang! Are you even listening to me?!”

Zhou Ye elbowed Yu Wenliang, feigning disgust and trying to break free.

Since you actively let me in, how can I let you run?

Yu Wenliang interlocked his fingers with hers, holding Zhou Ye’s left hand with his right, letting her two small hands cover each other. He tightly enveloped Zhou Ye’s hands with his large hand, rubbing her smooth, fair skin, pretending to be generating warmth through friction:

“I mean, I’m afraid your hands are cold, so I’m warming them for you.”

“Don’t…” At that moment, Zhou Ye’s shy face turned even redder, and she really wanted to escape.

“I will, I will!”

As Yu Wenliang was taking advantage of Zhou Ye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure reflected in her black pupils.

Their hands pulled away as if electrocuted…

Yu Wenliang stood at attention, hands glued to his sides, as if about to salute: “Sister Siqi!”

Zhou Ye’s face was as red as a ripe peach. She shyly avoided eye contact and timidly said, “Sister~”

“Hehehe~ I’m sorry~ Am I interrupting you two from dating?”

“Come home with me.”

“It’s cold outside. You can continue talking after you get home…”

Zhou Siqi, dressed in designer brands, drove to the train station entrance to pick up the young couple and take them to her house.

Yu Wenliang scurried after her, “Alright, Sister, no interruption, no interruption at all!”

Zhou Ye’s mouth slightly agape, her face flushed with embarrassment, chased after him, “Yu Wenliang, don’t talk nonsense!”

“Sister, don’t misunderstand, I’m focused on the Art Examination and becoming an excellent graduate.”

“I’m not dating him! Sister, listen to my explanation, Sister!”

······

Kyoto is an expensive city, and Zhou Siqi bought a small apartment of several dozen square meters in the Third Ring Road, paid in full.

It had two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one kitchen. With three people in the household, there were only two rooms: the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

Originally, Yu Wenliang felt awkward staying for free and planned to stay in a hotel outside.

However, Zhou Siqi said she would be traveling abroad for business during the New Year, and since there was a room at home, she absolutely wouldn't let him leave.

Thus, Zhou Ye moved into her sister’s room, the pink master bedroom.

Yu Wenliang stayed in the guest bedroom opposite, which, though not large, was neat and clean!

“Once Sister Siqi leaves.”

“For so many days over the New Year.”

“Won’t it just be Zhou Ye and me, a single man and a single woman, living together?!”

In the guest bedroom.

Yu Wenliang’s mind raced. Having spent so much time with Zhou Ye, it would be a lie to say he didn’t feel anything.

But a person shouldn’t, at least not when living under someone else’s roof, lust after the hostess’s younger sister.

That would be too outrageous!

Yu Wenliang had only read about something similar in a recently finished web novel, it was called… what was it, “Female Tenant” or something?

“After training for so long, it’s time to reward myself.”

“But, let’s check the results first.”

“I’ll enjoy myself later.”

Yu Wenliang sat on the bed and opened the simulator. The hardships and gains of the past four months were vivid in his mind.

Tsk…

Extracting information through simulation is a bit troublesome!

Since it concerns the Art Examination, such an important simulation, shouldn’t I use the information card rewarded by the system?

“Ding! Host has used the Simulation Information Extraction Card!”
