Strawberry Kiss Mark (草莓印)🍓 by Bu Zhi Shi Ke Cai (不知是颗菜) ~Chapter 33

Lu Xing Yan doesn’t believe it. When he is back home, he is doing another ‘dream’.

In his dream the female lead is Chen Xing Ruo, roughly the plot is just like the last time, it’s just there’re other additional features.

For example, he is holding her slender waist and forces her to call her “Ge Ge”. He is asking her who is more handsome he or He Si Yue. Then he blackmails her to say it. If she doesn’t give him answer, he will not continue it.

But it’s just a dream. Chen Xing Ruo is so obedient in his dream. She sobs and calls him “Ge Ge” and says that he is so handsome.

When he is awake, Lu Xing Yan sits up and leans onn the bed. He opens his eyes and looks at the ceiling. He stays there for around five to six minutes.

——- He feels that his body is emptied out.

He is unfamiliar at first, but well accustomed soon enough. This time Lu Xing Yan isn’t too shocked. He accepts the truth.

When he regains himself, he gets off the bed and then he skillfully hides the bedsheet. Then changes it. He then takes a shower and gets downstair.

Chen Xing Ruo seems to wake up earlier today. It seems that she went to the department store with Pei Yue. This time they are talking at the living room and he notices several shopping bags on the sofa.

Lu Xing Yan asks them: “You guys went to the department store in the morning? Don’t they open around 10 a.m?”

His voice sounds hoarse.

Pei Yue turns her head and examines him. She thinks how could she give birth to this incompetent and ignorant son. She points at the clock. She says disappointedly: “Look at the time now.”

Lu Xing Yan’s phone has no battery. He just leaves his phone on the bedroom.

He walks into the living room and looks at the clock. He just realizes that now it’s 02:00 p.m.

His hair is so messy, he is wearing a black cotton shirt. He sits down on the sofa and can smell the clear grass scent.

Chen Xing Ruo looks at him.

Lu Xing Yan meets her gaze for around two seconds and says: “What did you guys buy?”

“It’s almost summer, so I bought three dresses, one necklace, Ruo Ruo bought two dresses and a pair of shoes. Then I also bought a pajama for your Papa….”

Lu Xing Yan looks like he is listening, while his mind is wandering around.

Pei Yue pauses and picks a plastic bag. “At first I didn’t want to buy things for you but Ruo Ruo reminded me. This for you, your shoes!”

Lu Xing Yan glances at Chen Xing Ruo and takes the plastic bag.

He takes it and notices that it’s a a classic tennis shoes. He used to chat with Li Cheng Fan about it.

He smiles and says. “Okay, I’ll wear it when I’m free.”

“It’s better for you to not wear it then. I spent my money on you but you act like a master that you don’t want to wear it.”

Pei Yue is furious, she wants to snatch the shoes.

But Lu Xing Yan is fast, he takes it. “Okay, okay okay, I’ll wear it when it’s school time. I just said it casually. Ma, how could you be so close minded…..”

Pei Yue: “I’m not making a big fuss over minor issue. Just look at your behaviour!”

Chen Xing Ruo is speechless looking at both this mother and son. She silently goes to the fridge and takes milk.

In the evening, Liu Shu sends both of them back to the school.

Lu Xing Yan is leaning on the seat.

He looks at Chen Xing Ruo and nods: “You picked this shoes for me?”

Lu Xing Yan says nothing.

Lu Xing Yan: “Ay, did you listen to my conversation with Li Cheng Fan?”

Chen Xing Ruo: “…..”

Looking at how Chen Xing Ruo is silent, Lu Xing Yan just thinks that she is agreeing to him silently.

He smiles yet he covers his lips. He looks at the window, and says thank you to her.

Chen Xing Ruo be silent for a while and then takes out a thing. She says: “Pei Yi bought me a shoes. The time we were settling the bill, the sales assistant said that if we bought two pair of shoes, we can get a canvas bag. I think the canvas bag is very beautiful so I asked whether Pei Yi wanted to buy one for you.”

“Anyway this style was recommended by the sales assistant. This one is the best selling one.”

Chen Xing Ruo then shows him the canvas bag. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

Lu Xing Yan: “……”

He doesn’t respond, but Chen Xing Ruo doesn’t mind it.

She takes out her earphone from the canvas bag and wera it. Then she opens up her tablet and reads a book.

The time Lu Xing Yan is startled, Chen Xing Ruo suddenly adds: “But I indeed listened to your conversation with Li Cheng Fan, you guys said that this pair of shoes is great.”

“……..”

She did it in purpose.

Lu Xing Yan turns his head and looks at Chen Xing Ruo, she is smiling. He doesn’t know whether it’s his illusion or not. Anyway without being aware, he also smiles.

The car passes the bumpy road because of the construction of the train.

Both of them get off on the corner of Shu Xiang road, then goes on their own ways.

Chen Xing Ruo goes to the bookstore to buy magazine.

Lu Xing Yan goes back directly to the dorm, he places his things and then wears his new shoes and walks around the dorm.

His friends realize his new shoes and compliment it to be very cool and stylish.

Lu Xing Yan smiles and then says casually that he will treat them a meal.

When they are back from a meal, Lu Xing Yan opens the door and sees that Bian He is helping Zhao Lang Ming to make his bed.

Zhao Lang Ming is chattering; “From three of us, you are most outwardly cold. Look at this color, it’s too girly.”

Lu Xing Yan is standing there and suddenly remembers something. His smile turns stiff.

Sh*t! ….. His bedsheet.

That time when he just woke up, he planned to wash the bedsheet when his Ma and Auntie Zhou are taking their nap.

But he was waking up too late, and he also got a new shoes. He just forgot about the bedsheet.

He directly calls Pei Yue.

Pei Yue is so peculiar. She says that how could he have initiative to call.

Lu Xing Yan doesn’t mind her, he is taking an indirect approach in making inquiries. But Pei Yue doesn’t say anything about the bedsheet.

After the call, Lu Xing Yan is still worried. He prays that Zhou Yi is not cleaning it up for him.

Actually when he was talking with Chen Xing Ruo on the car, Zhou Yi (Auntie Zhou) had found that bamboo basket.

Last time Zhou Yi found it so strange, that time she was preparing the food, Lu Xin Yan let go of his “young master” status and changes the bedsheet. She told about it to Zhou Yi.

That time they were thinking about it, but as Lu Xing Yan hates romantic drama and never talks about love and romance. They thought it’s impossible.

But now since there’s evidence, Zhou Yi hurriedly takes the evidence and finds Pei Yue.

Both of them look at the evidence for a while.

Zhou Yi coughs. “Actually in his age, this is normal. But i feel having him and that Chen girl be in a floor, it’s inappropriate ah? They are young….”

“What are you thinking about?” Pei Yue doesn’t really think too much about it. “They both just stay around two days for a week. Moreover, look at both of them, they don’t think good about each other. I think they don’t even talk at school.”

Then Pei Yue also speaks frankly with assurance: “XIng Ruo ah, she is too great. I know my son to well, he is like his father. Will he let a woman be better than him? Impossible! He is male chauvinism! In the future, he will find someone cute and obedient to be his girlfriend.”

“Moreover, for Lu Xing Yan, except his handsome face, oh, and money, what else he has? Does Chen family lack of money? It’s not I belittle my son, but how can Xing Ruo like him? If I really can find a daughter in-law like him, it means I have a good life last lifetime.”

Zhou Yi: “…..”

Pei Yue peels her orange and says: “But we need to be careful. This time there will be parents-teacher meeting again. I’ll go to school and take a look. I’ll try to probe whether he is close with female student. That Lu Xing Yan is a shameful man. If he dates early, he might make a female student be pregnant.”

Inside her heart, Zhou Yi thinks that Lu Xing Yan is not that bad.

But looking at how Pei Yue is pouring her heart, she doesn’t know what should she say. She just sighs and takes the basket of the bedsheet.

On the bright Monday morning.

Maybe because it’ll be summer soon, the sun is shinning so brightly and hotly. From the dorm to the school building is not even ten-minutes walk, but a lot of people are taking off their coat.

As for Lu Xing Yan and friends, they just change directly to their summer uniform. They don’t even button up their top two buttons. They are showing their collar bones.

Lu Xing Yan goes to the class. He throws his bag to hsi table and takes a bottle of milk from Chen Xing Ruo. He pokes the straw and asks her: “Why are you looking at me? You never see a handsome boy like me?”

“……”

“Your collar is inside.”

Lu Xing Yan looks at it and tidies up his collars: “It’s done?”

“Turn around.”

Chen Xing Ruo puts down her book and helps him.

The morning ceremony today is cancelled so they are in their class to have self-study.

Lu Xing Yan looks around and notices there’s no relaxing atmosphere. Everyone looks so nervous and tense. There’s no liveliness.

Then he just remembers that today the mid-semester examination’s result will be out.

He remembers another thing and asks Chen Xing Ruo: “Oh right, last Friday’s incident, have you told Wang You Fu?”

“I have told him about it. He might call you over to retell it. I just told him that you passed by and threatened them. They were so scared and ran away. I didn’t tell him that you kicked and asked them to kneel. I didn’t even tell him that you pulled Yang Fen’s collar to force her to apologize. You don’t need to add more gimmicks.”

“…….”

Lu Xing Yan sneers.

Just as expected after a while, Wang You Fu comes over to call Lu Xing Yan to his office.

Lu Xing Yan doesn’t add any more gimmicks, he just adds more ‘oil’ and ‘vinegar’ to make Chen Xing Ruo be so miserable. He tells that she was so scared that she trembled and her eyes were full of tears. Then he appeared and scared those scoundrel.

Wang You Fu listened to it but he doesn’t know why, he feels something is not right.

But that Yang Fang is also not a good student.

Because of Lu Xing Yan, Yang Fang is so scared that she doesn’t tell her family about it. She has a fever and today she doesn’t come to school.

Wang You Fu finds the homeroom teacher of 11.2 and tells him about what happened.

Ceng Gui Yu hears about it and his eyes turn dark.

The incident of throwing the bottle during the school’s anniversary is not done yet, now there’s another incident and the doer is from their class.

Ceng Gui Yu doesn’t believe it so she just calls the parents of Yang Fang.

Yang Fang seems to be beside her mother. The time she listens to it, she suddenly cries and confesses.

“I’m wrong, Mama, … I’m wrong. I didn’t do it in purpose… wooo. Wooo…. I was just too angry….”

Yang Fan is shocked, yet her mind is clear. She knows that she shouldn’t say something more. She just says again and again: “I heard……Before the school’s anniversary I heard that my program was snatched by Chen Xing Ruo… Wo Wo Wo….I joined the selection right. I played violin but at last there’s no my…. At first, at first Chen Xing Ruo was playing piano but she changed to play violin. I was kicked out … Wo… wo….”

Wang You Fu thinks too much about it and asks: “So the incident of throwing the bottle for Chen Xing Ruo is related to you?”

Yang Fan thinks it will be her ned. After a while, she cries loudly.

Indeed she was the one that asked Yu Zhi Ming to make Chen Xing Ruo looks bad.

Hearing this Ceng Gui Yu wants to faint on the spot.

When it’s the end of the second period, everyone seems to know what has happened.

But there’re a lot of additional gimmicks.

“Did you guys hear that last Friday Yang Fen from the 11.2 stopped Cheng Xing Ruo from Grade 11.1. Then Lu Xing Yan saw it.”

“I heard about it, that time Chen Xing Ruo was so shocked. Lu Xing Yan even held her to the infirmary. He carried her the way groom carries his bride!”

“How could I not know about it? I just heard that person wanted to hit Chen Xing Ruo then Lu Xing Yan blocked it.”

“No, he held her…. But Chen Xing Ruo usually looks like a goddess, how could she be so surprised?”

“It’s normal, when you was stopped like that, you should be very afraid that you want to pee on your pants? But maybe she pretended. If you didn’t act, how could a ‘hero’ help you?”

“Ay, do you think Chen Xing Ruo likes Lu Xing Yan. Today I passed Grade 11.1 class. I saw how Chen Xing Ruo helped to tidy up Lu Xing Yan’s crooked tie. They looked so intimate.”

“Also…..”

………

The rumor becomes gossip.

The time Chen Xing Ruo hears about it, the version has changed and added——

“Xing Ruo, do you like Lu Xing Yan?” Ruan Wen asks cautiously and adds: “There are lots of people said that when last Friday Lu Xing Yan helped you, you confessed that you like her. There are people said that today you helped Lu Xing Yan with his tie.

……?

Chen Xing Ruo lifts up her head and looks at Ruan Wen.

She just realizes that indeed today everyone looks at her with strange gaze.

Lu Xing Yan also hears about this matter, he didn’t expect the version has changed so much. But somehow he feels happy to hear it.

When it’s afternoon, he sits down and strokes Chen Xing Ruo’s hair. He mocks her: “Ay, what happened? Everyone says that you like me, you even confessed to me and I refused you. Do you like me?”

Chen Xing Ruo moves his hand away and says coldly: “Sleep quickly. Everything can happen when you are smiling.”

Lu Xing Yan chokes, he sees how she acts like she doesn’t want to do anything him. He sneers and says: “Indeed everything can happen in the dream.”
