Chapter 234: Let Me Tell You Quietly ③
After the bonfire died down, some classmates started tidying up the things placed outside their tents. Fearing that sparks from the fire might cause an accident, some classmates fetched water from the river and extinguished the embers before returning to their respective tents.
After Nie Qiu settled into her sleeping bag, Huang Yan, holding her sleeping bag, unzipped Nie Qiu’s tent and asked, “Nie Qiu, I’m a bit cold. Can I sleep with you?”
Although the tent was called a single-person tent, it could accommodate two people. However, sleeping together would make it difficult to turn over. Most classmates had tents like this. Since Nie Qiu saw many boys sleeping in tents with other boys and girls sleeping in tents with other girls, she didn’t raise any objections. After all, sleeping in a sleeping bag made it somewhat difficult to turn over.
Huang Yan took off her shoes outside, scraped off the mud, and placed them in a corner inside the tent. After zipping up the tent, she lay down in her sleeping bag and zipped it up. The sleeping bags were enclosed. Huang Yan felt she was a bit too far from Nie Qiu, so she wriggled a few times like a worm until she was closer to Nie Qiu. Then, she smiled and whispered, “Nie Qiu…” Before, she used to read novels rented from the library during class and even after class. She had one or two friends she could talk to, but she had never messed around with so many classmates like this. She never imagined she could get along so well with her classmates. She asked Zhang Haiyang to take pictures of everything she felt was worth remembering. She always wondered if, years later, when she looked back at these photos, she would still miss this time, miss all of this, so happy and carefree.
“What is it?” Nie Qiu also turned to look at Huang Yan.
Huang Yan shook her head and said with some emotion, “I never thought I could get along so well with so many classmates. I also never thought… I would be dating in junior high school, and also be able to get into the top three in the class…”
Nie Qiu smiled, “Me too…” It was the same for her. She hadn’t expected to get along so well with her classmates, hadn’t expected to receive rewards from her mom and uncle, and hadn’t expected to be dating in junior high school…
As the two of them talked, people sleeping in other tents were also talking. The entire camp was buzzing with chatter.
Li Kai and Zhang Haiyang quietly crawled out of their tents. Their tents faced each other. They saw each other, exchanged a glance, and each headed towards their girlfriend’s tent.
Zhang Haiyang went to Huang Yan’s tent and unzipped it, but found it empty. He frowned and looked at Li Kai, who was hesitating outside Nie Qiu’s tent. He walked over, tugged Li Kai, and whispered, “I wonder if Huang Yan went to the toilet somewhere? She’s not in her tent.”
Li Kai also lowered his head and whispered, “I heard it. Huang Yan is sleeping with Nie Qiu! They’re talking.”
Zhang Haiyang’s eyes lit up. He leaned his whole body against the tent zipper’s fabric and even pulled Li Kai. Li Kai’s face turned a little red, and he struggled a bit, but he didn’t hesitate for long. Soon, he heard laughter from inside, which made him feel restless. He no longer hesitated and, like Zhang Haiyang, leaned against the tent to eavesdrop.
Perhaps because it was a bit cold, many classmates had packed up their tents and were sleeping with people they were close to. Also, because it was a bit cold, no one noticed two boys squatting by the girls’ tents to eavesdrop.
After Huang Yan and Nie Qiu finished laughing and playing, they lay down, panting, and asked Nie Qiu with a blush, “Nie Qiu, you and Li Kai… how far have you developed? First base? Second base, or third base?”
“What do you mean, first base, second base, third base?” Nie Qiu asked, confused, and looked at Huang Yan, also panting.
“I mean, your development!” Huang Yan smiled and said, “I’ve read many novels. First base is hugging, second base is holding hands, third base is kissing, and a home run is…” As she spoke, Huang Yan’s face turned red.
For some reason, Nie Qiu’s face also turned red. “It’s… it’s kissing! That… third base?”
“Mm, me too…” Huang Yan covered her mouth and smiled. “Nie Qiu, what do you think… what do you think of Li Kai’s kissing?”
“You little rascal! Go to sleep,” Nie Qiu glared at Huang Yan playfully and closed her eyes.
Huang Yan wriggled a few times and snuggled up to Nie Qiu. She whispered something in Nie Qiu’s ear, and Nie Qiu immediately burst out laughing. “You’re just being silly. If Zhang Haiyang heard you say that, see if he’ll still want you!”
Zhang Haiyang, eavesdropping outside the tent, became anxious. He naturally hadn’t heard what Huang Yan said to Nie Qiu, but the previous topic was too suggestive. Could it be… could it be that Huang Yan told Nie Qiu he couldn’t kiss? Or… that his kissing was bad? Thinking this, Zhang Haiyang scratched his head in frustration.
Li Kai glanced at Zhang Haiyang and continued listening. However, Nie Qiu and Huang Yan suddenly lowered their voices, but they could still vaguely hear their own names and Zhang Haiyang’s. He frowned and leaned closer, still not hearing anything. He leaned even closer, and Zhang Haiyang and Li Kai’s movements were synchronized.
Nie Qiu and Huang Yan exchanged a look. Huang Yan quietly got up and unzipped the tent.
With a “bang!”, Zhang Haiyang and Li Kai fell in squarely, landing on the tent floor.
Nie Qiu was asleep, so Li Kai’s face landed directly on Nie Qiu’s lower body. Huang Yan was sitting, and Zhang Haiyang directly pushed her down.
Actually, those melodramatic scenes often seen on television aren’t just made up to grab viewers’ attention. For example, when the male and female leads fall to the ground together, they accidentally kiss. This scene has been scorned countless times by those present, who thought it was too coincidental to fall onto someone’s lips, and that it was all just a trick by directors to make money.
The result? This melodramatic scene, which they didn’t believe in, appeared before them. When Zhang Haiyang fell in, he landed on Huang Yan, his hands pressing directly on Huang Yan’s chest, and their mouths met.
Nie Qiu was relatively fine because she was lying straight. When Li Kai fell in, his head only reached Nie Qiu’s thighs. However, Huang Yan, who was sitting, was pounced on by Zhang Haiyang, and it was… so dramatic.
All four of them were stunned by the scene for several seconds. Nie Qiu was the first to recover, followed by Li Kai. Zhang Haiyang and Huang Yan were so shocked they were a bit dazed, their mouths touching, their eyes wide open, staring at each other. One second, two seconds…
Huang Yan came to her senses, sat up abruptly, pushed Zhang Haiyang away, and opened her mouth to scream.
Nie Qiu and Zhang Haiyang simultaneously reached out to Huang Yan. Naturally, Zhang Haiyang, who was closer to Huang Yan, was faster and covered her mouth.
Nie Qiu whispered to Huang Yan, “Huang Yan, don’t scream. There are other classmates here!” If they attracted others, people who didn’t know would think the four of them were doing something bad inside!
Huang Yan looked at Nie Qiu and nodded, then glared at Zhang Haiyang. Just as Zhang Haiyang was about to let go, Huang Yan opened her mouth and bit Zhang Haiyang’s hand.
“Aah…” Zhang Haiyang suppressed the urge to shout and let out a few soft “aahs.”
