A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 553 A Suffocating Opponent, Forging the Strongest Heart
After using up all the coins at the baseball experience center, everyone was drenched in sweat.
At the same time, their bodies were completely released.
"That was really fun, let's come again next time."
Holding her other arm's elbow, Zhou Fu stretched her body and said with a smile.
"So stress-relieving, feels even better than smashing things." He Sijiao also said.
"Too bad it was a screen and not glass." Chen Yuan.
Zhou Yu: "You've watched too much Doraemon."
"Okay, now that we're done playing, let's all go home."
After Zhou Fu suggested it, everyone said goodbye at the intersection and then went home.
Because it wasn't too late, Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu took the subway.
But before arriving at their station, Xia Xinyu proactively suggested, "How about we walk for a bit?"
"Aren't you tired?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I'm okay." Xia Xinyu said with a smile, "I actually feel like my body is completely warmed up, all hot."
"Alright, then I'll take a stroll."
And so, Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan got off the subway one stop early.
Because they didn't have any homework after the exam, neither of them brought their schoolbags.
The two of them strolled along the riverbank, enjoying the cool breeze.
"How did the exam go this time?" Chen Yuan asked proactively.
"Feels alright, but..." Xia Xinyu paused halfway, then changed her words with a smile, "Never mind, there's still half a year left."
"Can you reach 670?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Very difficult... I should be a little short." Xia Xinyu said.
"But you've already improved so much, at least 20 points in half a year." Chen Yuan praised.
"Every time I feel complacent about my little progress, I wonder why you can be so exaggerated." Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan, full of confusion.
"Hmm... I don't know either."
"Forget it, don't think about useless things, do your best and accept fate."
Xia Xinyu wasn't as anxious as before, after all, she knew that anxiety was meaningless.
"Indeed." Chen Yuan nodded, then said, "I miss Yu Zi a little..."
"Let's bring it back after graduation, I miss it a little too, it's like our baby, so cute, sigh..." Speaking of this, the tender-hearted Xia Xinyu was filled with longing.
"Hiss, it feels a little cold..."
Accompanied by a gust of river wind, Xia Xinyu shrank her neck and shivered.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan untied the blue scarf that Xinyu had knitted for him from his neck.
Then, he wrapped it directly around both of their necks...
In the slightly chilly night, the two of them walked once again on the road they used to stroll, under the streetlights, their shadows stretched longer and longer...
………
"Then you go take a shower first, you're faster." After returning home, Xia Xinyu said to Chen Yuan.
"Then I'll go get my clothes..."
"You go shower first, I'll bring them to you later." Xia Xinyu said as she went to Chen Yuan's room to find him a change of clothes.
"Thanks."
And so, Chen Yuan went to the bathroom.
He turned on the shower, letting it release hot water first.
After the temperature was hot enough to touch, he took off his clothes, put them in the hamper, and began a fully immersive shower, turning on his Karaoke mode.
"The only thing I know is that things that come together eventually break apart, I've never seen Fenjiu in a box..."
At this moment, Chen Yuan felt that the only one who could match him was Sun Nan in his prime.
As for the others, they still needed to practice.
After a while, Xia Xinyu opened the door, brought in Chen Yuan's change of clothes, put them in a bag, and before leaving, she playfully slapped Chen Yuan on the back, then walked away giggling...
"You little Xinyu, you're quite uninhibited." Chen Yuan jokingly complained, then continued showering.
After a while, he finished washing up.
So, he went out to dry his hair.
At this time, the person inside had changed to Xinyu, who began showering.
Hmph, it's my turn.
Chen Yuan also opened the door, with the same smile on his face as she had just had.
"..." Xia Xinyu covered her front with the showerhead, and seeing Chen Yuan, she knew she couldn't escape, so she prepared to endure it, "Okay, hurry up, I'll catch a cold..."
Before Xia Xinyu could finish speaking, she didn't hear a crisp slap.
Mua.
"Checkmate."
After finishing, Chen Yuan left handsomely.
As for Xia Xinyu, her face was flushed and she was stunned in place, still shocked by what had just happened.
"Why... did you kiss me like that..."
………
After drying his hair, Chen Yuan lay on the bed and started playing on his phone.
He really was feeling the pressure.
Although he had improved, he was still several points behind Shi Yi.
Between 4 and 5 points.
And Bai Mingze, last time his score was only one point behind Shi Yi.
Both were super-fast learners, but Bai Mingze had reached the top before him.
But this was also expected, after all, he and Shi Yi had always been players of the same level.
The two of them had also won gold awards in the mathematics competition.
It was just that he was encountering some bottlenecks.
Where was it...
His Chinese language ability really had some room for improvement.
But he realized that he couldn't surpass Lao Ting.
At most, he could infinitely chase after that exaggerated woman.
And the result of infinitely chasing after her was that he would at most be two or three points stronger than Shi Yi.
So...
If I want to beat Shi Yi and Bai Mingze, can I only defeat them head-on?
Comprehensive science and mathematics.
A man's competition.
Now, there really was no way to escape it.
If they had already fought to this point, and he was still thinking of finding a way to cheat, that would really be cowardly behavior, all he could do was—face the group fight head-on!
Alright, I'll charge one more time!
Chen Yuan encouraged himself in his heart.
At this time, Xia Xinyu also opened the door, wearing pajamas and sweatpants.
So Chen Yuan lifted the corner of the quilt and patted the pillow next to him. Then Xia Xinyu quickly climbed over, burrowed into the quilt, and lay in Chen Yuan's arms.
With such a lovely wife, life is without regrets!
"Yuan." Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan and asked with some concern, "When you were playing baseball today, your hits were really heavy, you're actually under a lot of pressure, right?"
"What about you?" Chen Yuan asked back.
"I'm actually alright, because I don't have opponents like Shi Yi and Bai Mingze spurring me on..." Xia Xinyu said.
"It's pressure, but also motivation."
"But pressure..." Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan, and said with a slightly flushed face, "Too much isn't good, oh."
"...Mm."
Chen Yuan's cheeks also flushed slightly.
Then, he lifted the quilt...
At this moment, Chen Yuan was speechless.
He could only say in his heart, thank you, Xinyu.
"Yuan."
And Xia Xinyu, with a red face, looked at him, bit her lip lightly, and asked in a small voice, "Don't you... like my feet?"
