So Pure, So Flirtatious

“Fight? He doesn’t dare. He is afraid that I would unexpectedly hit him with a brick, and then his face would completely be gone.” Yang Ming disdainfully grinned. “He wants to compete with me seriously, so I proposed to him a plan.”

“What plan? What does it have to do with me?” Lin Zhiyun asked curiously.

“The plan I gave him was that we will each find a partner, then both of us will let our partners shoot the apple that’s placed on our heads with a knife. Whoever shoots the most apples in the same timeframe wins.” Yang Ming said, “And I want you to be my partner.”

“I am holding an apple, and you are shooting me?” Lin Zhiyun asked after hearing Yang Ming’s words.

“I’m not shooting you; you will shoot me.” Yang Ming corrected her. But after that, Yang Ming felt that this was a bit ambiguous. Why does this shooting thing seem like we’re talking about other things?

Sure enough, Lin Zhiyun also heard some other indications, so her face was reddish. She was somewhat embarrassed. “Do you mean I am holding an apple?”

“No, I’m holding it. You shoot… Ugh , you throw a knife at me,” Yang Ming explained.

” Ah ?” Lin Zhiyun’s eyes widened after she listened to Yang Ming. She looked at Yang Ming with disbelief and somewhat did not believe her own ears, “How can this be? How do I know how to throw a knife? What would happen if you get stabbed?”

“It’ll be fine after you practice it. A beauty throwing the knife will only attract people.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Moreover, even if you don’t know how to throw one, wouldn’t I know how to dodge it? Let’s go home and practice a few times, and then we can perform. It’ll be no problem. I am optimistic about you.”

Listening to Yang Ming’s words, Lin Zhiyun was a little dumbfounded. How would I know how to throw knives? However, seeing that Yang Ming insisted on this, Lin Zhiyun didn’t say anything anymore. She believed in Yang Ming as always.

Lin Zhiyun knew that Yang Ming said this full of confidence, so even if Lin Zhiyun felt unreliable and somewhat shocked, she still chose to believe in Yang Ming.

From her initial independence, Lin Zhiyun had begun to rely on Yang Ming; it was a kind of absolute dependence and trust, so Lin Zhiyun said, “Alright, but I think that we should use other things to practice with instead of knives. Otherwise, how can I guarantee that I will not stab you?”

“It doesn’t matter. You can use whatever you want. It’s also fine to go back and substitute with other items.” Yang Ming nodded. He knew that Lin Zhiyun was still a little worried. After all, she was not confident about her aiming.

” En , okay…” Lin Zhiyun thought that this throwing knife performance was challenging, but since Yang Ming said so, then she followed accordingly. Anyway, she didn’t know what to perform, so it was better to listen to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming started the car and headed for the Huashang District, and Lin Zhiyun turned on the radio. It just so happened that it was broadcasting news about Shu Ya’s new song.

“Sister Shu Ya has released another new song.” Lin Zhiyun naturally knew about Su Ya’s matters from Chen Mengyan. Lin Zhiyun was also a little excited and happy to have a big celebrity as a sister.

However, in addition to excitement and happiness, Lin Zhiyun was a little disappointed. Every woman beside Yang Ming was outstanding; they did not just have a pretty face.

Together with Zhao Sisi, Chen Mengyan made the jewelry company prosperous. She also recently invested in a few stocks with Wang Mei which also earned a big profit. Although Zhou Jiajia did not have the talent for doing business, she had superiority and talent in the computer field; she was just a freshman student, but she participated in a research group where only graduate students and Ph.D. students could join in! This achievement could only make Lin Zhiyun secretly envious.

And nowadays, Su Ya had become a celebrity who was admired by tens of thousands of people, Asia’s Queen of Popularity. Lin Zhiyun felt that she had no advantages which made her feel a little disappointed. She thought that other than being pretty, she had no other strong points.

Although Chen Mengyan, Zhou Jiajia, and even Yang Ming, did not say anything, Lin Zhiyun was a little uncomfortable in her heart. She also wanted to become a valuable person; she did not want to become a pretty face that was placed in the family and admired by others. Lin Zhiyun wanted to help Yang Ming’s career. She had been working hard to learn the business, but because she was not very exposed to these kinds of things before university, and she was not very good at dealing with people, naturally, she didn’t learn as fast as Chen Mengyan.

Although Lin Zhiyun was not stupid, it could be said that she was almost as smart as Chen Mengyan. Both of them were admitted to Song Jiang Industry University with excellent results, but their family environments were completely different.

Chen Mengyan’s mother was the middle-ranking leader of a state-owned enterprise. Her father was a cadre of the police station. Since Chen Mengyan was young, she had witnessed and been exposed to people from the upper class. Especially when she was very young, she often went to her mother’s unit and stayed there for the day, so she was exposed to a lot of business matters.

Moreover, Chen Mengyan had been a class monitor and a member of the study committee since she was a child, so she had also developed a generous personality. Now, whether she was meeting customers or managing the company, she was an expert.

However, Lin Zhiyun was different. Her parents were workers, and she was also bent on learning, paying no attention to outside matters. Although her studies were good, she was not good at being in contact with people. Therefore, she was not only a little bit worse than Chen Mengyan. Although she had been hardworking in her studies, there was always Chen Mengyan as a role model. This made Lin Zhiyun feel that she was useless.

These were Lin Zhiyun’s thoughts. She never talked about it to others. Chen Mengyan didn’t know; Zhou Jiajia didn’t know, but Yang Ming knew some of it. However, when the company was on fire, Yang Ming had already explained it to her. However, it was not expected that Lin Zhiyun’s worries in her heart were so heavy.

” Oh ? She released another new song?” Yang Ming had just returned from Africa, and he had been busy with various matters for the past two days. Therefore, he didn’t have time to go online and check out the latest news about Shu Ya.

” En, en , I’m going to increase the volume.” Lin Zhiyun put aside the sadness in her heart, and her face returned to her usual smile. Those thoughts she had couldn’t be said to others; others also couldn’t help her. She could only work hard to catch up with Sister Mengyan to be a girl who could help Yang Ming so that she wasn’t that useless.

Lin Zhiyun turned up the volume in the car, and the elegant voice of the host came from the radio, “There’s a song written by Asia’s Queen of Popularity, the talented woman, Shu Ya, in the new album she has brought to us. It’s called “Finding Back Lost Love.” It is also a very melodious and a very good song. It has Shu Ya’s own unique campus-style of music. This song will most probably debut at the top of the mobile wireless music sales list…”

“It seems to be talking about you!” Lin Zhiyun looked at Yang Ming teasingly, pointing to the radio and grinning.

“How is it about me?” Yang Ming was stunned. It was no secret that Su Ya used their matters to write songs. At least, Chen Mengyan knew of a few of them, but Yang Ming still felt a little awkward when Lin Zhiyun said it out loud.

“Wouldn’t we know after we listened to it?” Lin Zhiyun smiled and said.

The Huashang District was very close. After they exited the school and took a turn, they arrived at their destination. Yang Ming parked the car at the door of their villa and listened to the radio with Lin Zhiyun. He planned to wait for the song to finish before he got off.

The voice was clear, but without the faint sorrow from before, it was full of joy with longing for the future. Shu Ya’s style had changed slightly, and her fans most likely heard it too. However, they would not know where Shu Ya’s change came from.

Previously, the songs written by Shu Ya herself had a slightly sorrowful atmosphere; it was likely that it had a direct relationship with her mood. Since Yang Ming met with her, Shu Ya’s temperament had changed. She became more energetic.

“It seems that Su Ya is very happy.” Lin Zhiyun also heard the difference.

“Yeah, it’s good as long as she is happy.” Yang Ming nodded. “When we go back in a while, you can help me download it to my mobile phone and set it as a ringtone.”

“Okay.” Lin Zhiyun also thought that the song was lovely, and she was ready to go back and download it. She naturally agreed to what Yang Ming proposed. Regarding Su Ya, Lin Zhiyun didn’t feel jealous, and she was not a person who was easily jealous herself.

After listening to the song, Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun got off the car and opened the door of the villa. Chen Mengyan was watching TV in the living room. When she saw them coming back, she asked, “Have you two eaten?”

“We ate before class. Why? You haven’t eaten yet?” Yang Ming called Chen Mengyan before eating, telling her not to wait for him.

“I ate a pack of instant noodles, but I’m somewhat hungry now.” Chen Mengyan got up from the sofa, stretched, and said, “I want to eat some fruit. Sister Lin, do you want to eat?”

“I’ll pass; I’ve just eaten.” Lin Zhiyun ate a lot of seafood, so she was a little embarrassed. Chen Mengyan only ate instant noodles, but she and Yang Ming went out to eat a great meal. “Or should I cook something for you?”

“There’s no need. I’m about to sleep; I’ll get fatter if I eat too much.” Chen Mengyan waved her hand. “Sister Lin, go eat some fruit with me. I want to cut a melon, but I can’t finish it.”

“Then, ask Yang Ming to eat. I really can’t eat anymore.” Lin Zhiyun was in a bit of a difficult situation. She was really full.

“Let’s go together then.” Yang Ming took off his coat, pushed Lin Zhiyun’s shoulder, and went with her to follow Chen Mengyan to the kitchen.

” Yi ? There’s an apple here? I was thinking about buying something tomorrow.” Lin Zhiyun only discovered that there was an apple in the kitchen.

” En , just now, Hou Zhenhan sent a bunch of fruits.” Chen Mengyan nodded and said. Hou Zhenhan would send some fresh vegetables and fruits every few days without Yang Ming’s instruction.

Yang Ming agreed very much to Hou Zhenhan’s way of doing things. He always thought of some details that Yang Ming didn’t notice.

“It turns out to be like this.” Lin Zhiyun and Hou Zhenhan had now become good friends from their initial hostile relationship. It was a bit funny just to think back about it.

Hou Zhenhan had no money, but he kidnapped Lin Zhiyun who was almost as poor as him. He couldn’t get anything out of it.

“Right, Sister Lin, do you want to eat apples? How many should I wash?” Chen Mengyan took a cantaloupe out, then she prepared to grab an apple.

“No, Yang Ming and I… want to practice knife-throwing.” Lin Zhiyun was somewhat embarrassed; she obviously remembered the previous knife-throwing…

“Practice knife-throwing? What do you mean?” Chen Mengyan looked at Lin Zhiyun inexplicably, and looked at Yang Ming again, then she asked curiously.

“Practice knife-throwing…” Yang Ming smiled bitterly for a bit. He told Cheng Mengyan about the art festival performance, then he told her about how Ren Jianren looked for him to perform together on the same stage.

“It turns out to be like this…” Chen Mengyan listened to Yang Ming’s explanation and realized why Lin Zhiyun was looking for apples. It turns out that they wanted to use it to practice knife-throwing.

“Yeah, I think it’s scary. I don’t know anything about knife-throwing. What if I hit Yang Ming?!” said Lin Zhiyun.

After listening to Lin Zhiyun, Chen Mengyan nodded and said with no worries, “Yes, Yang Ming. You have to be careful. Sister Lin’s worries are reasonable. When did she ever learn knife-throwing?”

“It’s fine. You will know after we perform it in a while.” Yang Ming smiled indifferently. “Or, let’s try now?”

“How should we try? You hold the apple?” Chen Mengyan was somewhat concerned. How could Chen Mengyan not know how Lin Zhiyun’s skills were? What would happen if she hit Yang Ming?

” En , I will hold the apple. What about this? If you are not at ease, let Zhiyun replace it with chopsticks. When she becomes skilled, we’ll change to a knife.” Yang Ming also noticed the concerns of Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun.

The most important thing was that Lin Zhiyun would definitely be timid if he let her immediately take the knife, and she would not dare to throw boldly. Nothing could be trained like that. It was better to use chopsticks instead; it was easier to change it to anything else after she became proficient.

“That’s fine.” Chen Mengyan nodded and went to get a few new chopsticks. She was also afraid that any accidents would happen. Although Yang Ming said there was no problem, Chen Mengyan couldn’t be careless.

Yang Ming handed the chopsticks to Lin Zhiyun, then he put an apple on his head. He backed up two meters and said, “Come on, Zhiyun. You can throw the chopsticks.”

Lin Zhiyun picked up a chopstick and placed it in her hand. She was nervous. Although it was just a chopstick, she was still fearful. She made motions a few times, but she had no courage to throw it.

“Mengyan, you give her an example.” Yang Ming pointed to a chopstick and said to Chen Mengyan.

“I…” Chen Mengyan also hesitated. She picked up a chopstick, but she was too afraid to throw it. “I…”

“Think about how Lan Ling and I became a couple behind your back, and then you’ll be angry.” Yang Ming noticed that Chen Mengyan hesitated, so he made a suggestion.

“Go die.” Chen Mengyan actually threw the chopstick. “How was I so petty?”

Chen Mengyan simply threw it, so naturally, there was no aim. Following the trajectory of the chopstick, the chopstick would hit Yang Ming’s chest! However, Yang Ming only slightly squatted down and bowed his head, and the chopstick exactly hit the apple on Yang Ming’s head.

” Sha !” Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming in amazement, and Lin Zhiyun was the same. “I can even hit it like this? Yang Ming, you are really amazing!”

“That’s why I said that it’s fine. Zhiyun, why don’t you try it?” Yang Ming said with a smile.

“Okay…” With the demonstration from Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun had the confidence to pick up the chopstick and throw it at Yang Ming. Although she wanted to aim at the apple on Yang Ming’s head, she had no professional training, so it veered slightly to the right. It seemed that it was going to miss, but Yang Ming moved to the right again, and the chopstick hit the apple.

“You have confidence this time, right?” Yang Ming picked up the chopsticks on the floor. His original intention was this. Although Lin Zhiyun didn’t know how to throw a knife, it didn’t matter as long as he was responsive! Instead of using Lin Zhiyun’s knife-throwing to aim at the apple on his head, he used the apple to meet the knife that Lin Zhiyun threw. “Why don’t we try throwing a knife?”

” Ah , change it now?” Lin Zhiyun thought that Yang Ming’s movements were amazing, but she was still a bit timid. “Why don’t we keep practicing with chopsticks?”

“Alright, then let’s practice with chopsticks again.” Yang Ming was not in a hurry. Anyway, there were still several days before the art festival. It didn’t matter if they practiced with chopsticks.

Chopsticks weren’t lethal, so Lin Zhiyun was not afraid of hurting Yang Ming. After throwing a few chopsticks, her timidity from before disappeared. Instead, she found it very interesting. Chen Mengyan was eating cantaloupe by the side. After eating for a while, she also joined Lin Zhiyun.

However, although the two people threw at the same time, Yang Ming was still able to cope well. Not one chopstick was missed. Yang Ming’s movements were also very big, but the apple on his head did not fall.

“I never expected that you are so formidable.” Chen Mengyan sighed. “If we don’t have jobs in the future, you can go to perform acrobatics.”

“Okay, then you two can cooperate with me. Beauties plus acrobatics, it will surely sell!” Yang Ming smiled and replied.

They threw chopsticks in joy for a while, but it didn’t take long for Chen Mengyan to start not throwing it properly, and she began to be naughty. Lin Zhiyun threw it upward while she threw it downward; Lin Zhiyun threw it to the left while she threw it to the right, forcing Yang Ming to make some extreme moves.

“Chen Mengyan, are you deliberately doing this?” Although Yang Ming was not tired, it was inevitable that he would be a little annoyed if this continued.

“No, aren’t we practicing knife-throwing? I am also helping Sister Lin to practice.” Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming innocently.

“Then, why are you throwing it in the opposite direction of Zhiyun?” Yang Ming was annoyed, but when he looked at Chen Mengyan’s watery eyes, he couldn’t become angry.

“I didn’t, right? I can’t guess Sister Lin’s thoughts. Maybe it’s a coincidence?” Chen Mengyan blinked and threw up her hand, indicating that she was being wronged.

“…” Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan’s look, and he was angry and amused. He could only say, “A coincidence, is it? But it’s okay for a coincidence to happen once or twice. I’ll see if there’s a coincidence later on.”

“Okay?” Chen Mengyan said as she threw a chopstick in the opposite direction of Lin Zhiyun’s.

Therefore, Yang Ming couldn’t bear it. He hugged Chen Mengyan and fought with her. Not long after, it involved Lin Zhiyun. The three people went to bed together while they were playing; they had forgotten to practice the skills of knife-throwing…
