You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Old Cat, who was sitting on the other side of Lu Sicheng, heard some rustling noise and turned over to ask: What are you two doing?

Tong Yao stretched her head higher than the arm of Lu Sichengs chair, her face was blank from nervousness. Lu Sicheng remained at ease: Something dropped on the floor, shes looking-- --Have you found it?

Tong Yao: Ive found it.

As she spoke, she stood up and dashed back to the stairs. She sat down next to her best friend and before Jinyang could ask a question, Tong Yao started talking: I know what you are going to ask and I know I can keep silent after you ask and whatever I say will be used as evidence-- --Thats right, Xiao Cong is the kitten that jerk Xu Tailun and his fangirl had.

Xu Tailun got banned and doesnt feel like keeping the kitten. So our captain went over to the Qing Dynasty and asked for it. I dont know whether he paid for the kitten or not. It happened last night. Im the one who named it Xiao Cong, because its my kitten too. Then the problem is why one kitten has two owners and theres only one answer, my captain and I are having an indescribable relationship.

Jinyang: ?

Tong Yao: Thats all there is.

Jinyang: ? ? ? ? ? What the heck?

? ? ?

Tong Yao gritted her teeth: Thats all there is.

Jinyang: What? ? What the heck? You and who? ! Chess-- --

Tong Yao nervously covered Jinyangs mouth before she finished yelling-- --Jinyangs pupils enlarged then slightly shrunk. She turned to look at her uptight friend besides her. There was a light blush on Tong Yaos fair skin and Tong Yaos eyes were sparkling. Tong Yao lowered her voice and whispered into Jinyangs ear: Dont yell. No one knows about it!

...... Jinyang pushed the hand over her mouth down and took a deep breath. The first thing she said after she calmed herself: Youre really something, Mulan. You havent accomplished what you set out to do and damn, youve slept with our General Lu first.

..........................................Hush, hush, hush, not yet, not yet. I havent got the chance to sleep with him.

Huh, you even feel sorry about that? !

Hush! ! ! Tong Yao shrunk her neck and widened her eyes: Dont talk so loud!

Oh. Jinyang nodded: So when are you going to apply to Beijing and Qinghua Universities?[1]

Tong Yao: ......

Jinyang: Did you hear that? Thats the sound of you being slapped in the face.

Tong Yao reached over to pinch her, Jinyang backed away, giggling all the while. The two of them playfully huddled into a ball. Tong Yao released Jinyang after a while and looked around before whispering like she was a thief: Actually, I didnt mean for it to happen this way. I really didnt. But yesterday, somehow, this thing came up.

He even used the kitten to trick me and I agreed because I didnt hold my ground. Now its the trial period. Our captain said that the only way to examine the truth is through practice.

What truth?

That hes a good man, not like Jian Yang and them As Tong Yao was saying it, she realized that it didnt sound quite right. Her voice became quieter and she started to twist her fingers. After a short pause, she added: Something like that.

...........................Cant you two have a normal relationship like everyone else? Ok, you want to keep it a secret, but treating it like an experiment! Can you return it if youre dissatisfied?

Three months trial period and five years warranty.

...................Alright, alright, then make good use of your trial period. Jinyang emphasized the word use and grabbed her friend over giggling: My cabbage finally learned to slowly move herself under a pigs nose.

......

Good choice. At least hes the king of pigs. Jinyang sighed: Unlike me, I just randomly picked a little pig from the pig pen next door. Aside from eating, sleeping, and irritating me, he only knows how to roll in the mud.
