Give Me Another Smile

gorgeous neon spectacle at night.

Suddenly recalling something, Tang Yu's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes became misted.

While Tang Yu was lost in her thoughts, a hand appeared in her blurred vision to close the open window and draw the curtains, causing the room to grow dark.

The bespectacled girl looked up from her books in confusion.
Then, she fumbled around for the light switch by the door and turned it on, causing a pale light to suddenly fill the room.

Yin Zhao-an beamed an apologetic smile at the bespectacled girl and explained, “It was a little chilly, so I closed the windows.
Sorry for the interruption.”

“It's fine, it's fine.” The bespectacled girl could clearly sense the strange atmosphere surrounding Tang Yu and Yin Zhao-an, so she curiously asked, “Do you two know each other?”

Yin Zhao-an did not say anything.
However, to avoid making the already awkward situation even more awkward, Tang Yu silently nodded in response to the bespectacled girl.
Fortunately, the bespectacled girl was someone who could read the room, so she did not try to pry any further.
Otherwise, Tang Yu had no idea how she should explain her relationship with Yin Zhao-an to the girl.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, this awkward atmosphere didn't look like something that would appear among close friends!

Meanwhile, after a moment of hesitation, Yin Zhao-an gently rubbed Tang Yu's head.
Then, she leaned into Tang Yu's right ear and whispered, “You'll give me your cold if you catch one now.”

The ears were a sensitive place for most people, and Tang Yu was no exception.
Yin Zhao-an's hot breath hitting Tang Yu's ear instantly caused a blush to spread across her face and ears.
Goosebumps also rose all over her body as she subconsciously shuddered.

Yin Zhao-an caught all of Tang Yu's responses with her eyes.
However, not only did she not back away, she even took things a step further, placing her hands on Tang Yu's waist and giving them a gentle squeeze.
Then, she nonchalantly returned to the bed, took out a mock exam paper, and started revising the questions.

Tang Yu's mind went into shock.
It wasn't until a whole minute had passed did she react to what had just happened to her. Did I just…get taken advantage of?!

“Tang-Tang, come here for a sec.”

The corners of Tang Yu's eyes twitched. Do you think I'll come just because you told me to?

However, seemingly having anticipated Tang Yu's indifference, Yin Zhao-an swept back her ear-length hair and began making her way over to Tang Yu.

“I-I'll go to you…” Tang Yu hurriedly extended her hands to stop a certain someone's menacing footsteps.
Then, she moved to the edge of the twin bed and sat down, leaving nearly half a meter between her and Yin Zhao-an.

Yin Zhao-an faintly smiled when she saw this, but she didn't force Tang Yu to do anything more.
Then, she silently handed the mock paper she held to Tang Yu.

Mock papers?

Tang Yu was stunned when she looked at the mock paper she had just received.
Every question on the papers had handwritten notes under them, the notes including a thorough explanation of how to solve them.
Some questions had explanations so long that sticky notes were used for additional space.

“These questions might come up, so it's best if you take a look at them,” Yin Zhao-an said when she saw Tang Yu looking stunned.

“…Okay.” Tang Yu did as told.

In reality, Tang Yu disliked mathematics.
However, the mock paper she had just received was the most detailed and well-thought-out she had ever seen, so she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

While Tang Yu was falling into fascination, she failed to realize that a certain someone had secretly climbed onto the bed and was secretly closing in on her from behind.
