The Best Of You (English Ver.) - Chapter 28

When Shen Nianshen suddenly kissed her, Sun Tiantian widened her eyes and there was a ‘boom’ sounded in her brain and something exploded in her heart.

Her head instantly felt empty and she froze on the spot without moving.

When she finally back to her senses, Shen Nianshen had let it go.

Sun Tiantian blinked and looked at Shen Nianshen.

The dim street light on the roadside cast a golden halo above Shen Nianshen’s head.

Shen Nianshen still maintained his hunched posture while clutching Sun Tiantian’s face, staring at her deeply.

Time seemed to stop, the two of them looked at each other silently and no one spoke.

Not knowing how long the time had passed, Sun Tiantian couldn’t hold back her laugh anymore. She embraced Shen Nianshen’s waist and leaned against his chest. She looked up and stared at him with her arched eyes.

She felt as if a jar of sugar had spilled on her heart. She stared at him for a long time and did not know what to say. So, she just exclaimed with joy, “Ah Nian.”

Her voice was sweet and soft, reaching deeply into Shen Nianshen’s heart.

He raised the corners of his lips and gently draped Sun Tiantian’s slightly messy hair behind her ear.

When Sun Tiantian saw Shen Nianshen’s smile, she felt her heart melting. Sun Tiantian’s heart was pounding. She raised her hand to remove the mask, her eyes sparkled and said seriously, “Ah Nian, do you want to kiss me again?”

Shen Nianshen froze slightly on the spot, his gaze deepening as he stared at Sun Tiantian.

Sun Tiantian looked at him expectantly, subconsciously biting her lower lip.

Shen Nianshen’s gaze slowly moved down and landed on Sun Tiantian’s lips. Without the mask on her face, those soft lips were very seductive.

After a long wait, Sun Tiantian only saw Shen Nianshen looking at her without speaking. Seemed that Shen Nianshen had no intention of kissing her again. Thinking that Shen Nianshen doesn’t want to kiss her again, Sun Tiantian was a little displeased. She let go of Shen Nianshen, turned her head to the other way and snorted softly.

She looked away from Shen Nianshen, her lips pursed in displeasure.

Shen Nianshen, who had been staring at her deeply for some time, finally called out to her, “Sun Tiantian.”

“What?” Sun Tiantian heard Shen Nianshen called her and turned her head back shortly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, and had not had time to see Shen Nianshen clearly yet, Shen Nianshen was already holding her face, looked down and kissed her straightaway.

Those warm lips were kissed without prior warning, Sun Tiantian’s heart almost fell off.

At this age, this was the first time she had been so close to a man.

When Shen Nianshen’s lips pressed against hers, her mind was completely blank. All of her senses were concentrated on the sensation of the kiss, it was soft, hot and slightly itchy.

The two lips lightly stuck together for some time, Shen Nianshen slowly moved his lips away while staring at Sun Tiantian deeply. Sun Tiantian looked back at Shen Nianshen and slowly, the corners of her lips were drawn even wider.

Sun Tiantian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she hugged Shen Nianshen and buried her head in the young man’s embrace.

She could still feel the warm and soft feeling on her lips. Shen Nianshen stroked the back of her head and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

Sun Tiantian’s face stuck to Shen Nianshen’s chest, although she felt embarrassed her heart was full of sweetness.

She just understood the feeling to be kissed by a man, as if her whole heart was going to melt.

When Sun Tiantian returned to the dormitory, it was almost 11 o’clock. Her roommates had finished cleaning and were getting ready to sleep on their bed.

Cheng Duo opened her blanket when she saw Sun Tiantian came in, and said with a smile, “Hey, our beautiful little girl has come back. Are you happy today?”

Because of the kiss earlier, Sun Tiantian was in a very good mood, she was so happy that she felt like dancing. She said with a wide smile on her face, “Unbelievably happy.”

The corners of her mouth were pulled up, her lips couldn’t stop smiling.

Her mood was so good it couldn’t be described, her head was full of pink bubbles. So happy that she unconsciously rolled the hem of her clothes.

Her roommates had never seen Sun Tiantian so happy, one by one they sat on their bed as if seeing an amazing phenomenon.

Xie Yan poked her head out of the mosquito net and widened her eyes in surprise, “Tiantian, you and Shen Nianshen, haven’t you two… done that, right?”

Sun Tiantian looked up, “Doing that what?”

Xie Yan, “That one …” As she spoke, she saw Sun Tiantian’s gaze was an amorous look, “You must know it.”

Sun Tiantian froze for a few seconds, then immediately understood and felt embarrassed, “What were you thinking about!”

Cheng Duo also smiled and said, “Look, you are exceptionally happy like this. I also think that you did something with Shen Nianshen tonight.”

Sun Tiantian’s face flushed with embarrassment, “You are a wild woman, a bunch of wild girls.”

Cheng Duo laughed, “A bunch of wild girls? That’s normal.”

Xie Yan asked curiously, “Then what are you happy about? Twirling around like that, you make me laugh.” As she spoke, she laughed again.

Sun Tiantian was very happy, and she wanted to share her joy with her roommates, so she said a little shyly, “I kissed Shen Nianshen.”

“Wow! Finally, a kiss!”

Before, her roommates had asked whether Sun Tiantian and Shen Nianshen had kissed or not, but Sun Tiantian just shook her head shyly.

Therefore, hearing the hot gossip in the middle of the night, everyone was even more excited than Sun Tiantian herself. Cheng Duo poked her head out of the mosquito net and asked excitedly, “How? How was it? Wasn’t it feel good?”

Sun Tiantian sat on a chair at her table and turned the chair around with a smile before answering, “It was really good.”

Xie Yan was more direct and asked, “Did your tongue tangled?”

Sun Tiantian chuckled, “Xie Yan, can’t you control yourself a little?” With a flushed face, she said, “No, just pressed there for a moment.”

“Ah? Shen Nianshen is so innocent?” Xie Yan looked surprised.

A look of regret emerged from Cheng Duo who was expecting a big gossip, “What you guys did was not even kissing. I thought it was a kind of French Kiss.”

Even though it wasn’t a French Kiss, Sun Tiantian still felt very happy. This was Shen Nianshen’s first time for taking the initiative to kiss her.

Colleges usually have a winter break in mid-January, and before the holidays there was the most important thing in the entire semester: final exams.

Sun Tiantian doesn’t have many ambitions, she only hopes to get a score of 60 and pass the exam.

But Shen Nianshen was different, he wants to get a scholarship.

Having a boyfriend who was so talented, Sun Tiantian as a girlfriend should not hinder her boyfriend’s progress. She got up early every day and went to the library with Shen Nianshen.

Shen Nianshen studied seriously, and Sun Tiantian didn’t want to bother him. She sat quietly in front of him, studying the material for her final semester exam.

Sun Tiantian was not very good at studying, and it turned out that the lecturers were getting more inhuman. They didn’t even provide the exam content outline!

A very thick book and she didn’t know which part will come out in the test. After she memorized the front part, she forgot the back part. And when she memorized the back part, she forgot the front part. It was really put her in despair.

Sun Tiantian couldn’t take it anymore, she felt angry and resentful. She couldn’t help banging her head on the table.

Shen Nianshen who was reading a book looked across and found his girlfriend was banging her head against the table. He immediately held his hand out to hold her forehead and said softly, “Doesn’t it hurt?”

Just then Sun Tiantian raised her head and looked at Shen Nianshen with a pitiful face.

Shen Nianshen lowered his voice and asked again, “What’s the matter?”

Sun Tiantian pursed her lips, then took out a pen and wrote on a paper, “There is too much to memorize, I can’t do this.”

Then she pushed the paper towards Shen Nianshen.

Towards the end of the semester, many students were studying in the library. She worried she would disturb the others if she spoke.

Shen Nianshen lowered his head and frowned. When he raised his head, he realized that Sun Tiantian was reading a thick textbook on her desk.

It was just because of a trivial matter like this … For a moment he did not know whether to laugh or cry and wrote back on the paper, “I will help you later. The exam’s material is not much, at the most, you will only need to memorize two or three pages.”

He pushed the paper towards Sun Tiantian. When Sun Tiantian read it, her mood became extremely happy and wrote, “Aaaaa, how come my boyfriend is so great! Muaaaaachhhhh ^ _ ^”

Having finished the writing, Sun Tiantian pushed the paper back to Shen Nianshen. Shen Nianshen gave a quick glance and couldn’t help but smile, then raised his hand to rub his temples.

Shen Nianshen spent half an hour making the exam outline for Sun Tiantian. Wrote down the important points in the book that needed to be read. Shen Nianshen wrote it down on the white paper. After Shen Nianshen summarized the book, all she had to memorize was only two pages.

Sun Tiantian’s classmates knew that the girl’s nerdy husband had made an outline for the exam, thus, one by one they came to borrow her notes.

Sun Tiantian was very generous and lent them the notes casually. But for fear of her friends would spoil the notes Shen Nianshen personally wrote for her, she took it to the photocopier outside to make a copy and gave it to her friends.

Thanks to Sun Tiantian, almost all the first-year students had Shen Nianshen’s handwritten notes.

This incident spread and heard by Master Si Xiu of the Moral Education Department. When he met Shen Nianshen on the way, he teased him, “Do you specifically want to destabilize my territory? I didn’t provide an exam outline, but all the first-year students had your notes.”

Shen Nianshen also laughed, his tone softened, “There is no other choice, my girlfriend is not very good at studies. If I don’t help her, she will definitely cry half to death.”

Before the final exams, there were three days of New Year’s holidays. Sun Tiantian’s mother called her the night before the holiday and asked her to come home.

Sun Tiantian knew that in the new year holidays Shen Nianshen would definitely study seriously, she didn’t want to bother him. Apart from that, she had not returned home for a long time. So, she packed up and headed home for the holidays the following afternoon.

Sun Tiantian has not returned home since Chinese National Day. Therefore, when she got home, her mother was extraordinarily happy to see her, “Ah, my dear. You seem to be doing very well lately.” As she said, she pinched her daughter’s cheek, “Look at this little face.”

Sun Tiantian thought to herself, ever since she dating Shen Nianshen, she has been watched every day to eat. How could she not be plumper.

Sun Tiantian stood at the door changing her shoes and glancing into the living room, “Where’s Father and Brother?”

Mrs. Sun happily took her daughter into the house and said, “Your father went fishing for you very early in the morning when he found out that you were coming home. Your brother is still working late at the office.”

Mrs. Sun said again, “Go upstairs first, take a shower and rest, then we’ll have a New Year’s dinner together.”

“Okay, Mom.”

As soon as Sun Tiantian reached her bedroom, her cell phone rang. She glanced at the cell phone and answered it immediately.

“Have you arrived home?” Shen Nianshen’s low voice came from the other side.

“En, just arrived. I just want to call you.” Sun Tiantian opened the cupboard, take out her pajamas and asked, “How about you? Have you eaten?”

Shen Nianshen, “Not yet, I’m on my way home.”

“So you’re going home too?”

“En, today is New Year Eve. I’m going home to accompany grandma.”

Sun Tiantian felt a little regret, “I want to spend New Year Eve with you too.”

Shen Nianshen smiled, “Spending New Year Eve with your parent is something you should be doing, and for us …” After a brief pause, he said again, “There will still be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Sun Tiantian heard his sentence and smiled happily, “That’s right, we still have a lifetime.”

On the other end of the phone, Shen Nianshen had just entered the alley to his house. Upon hearing Sun Tiantian’s words, he froze for a few seconds, before finally agreeing.

The two of them chatted for a while. Sun Tiantian had to go take a shower and said, “Shen Nianshen, I’ll hang up the phone first. I’ll call you again later tonight.”

“Okay.”

When Sun Tiantian finished taking shower, her father had come home.

“Dad, when are you coming back?” Sun Tiantian ran happily and took her father’s hand.

Mr. Sun laughed and said, “I’ve just arrived. I caught a big fish for you. Your Mother will cook the fish for you to eat.”

“Thank you, Daddy.” Sun Tiantian led her father to sit on the sofa.

The father and daughter have not seen each other for a long time, they were sitting on the sofa chatting happily.

Mrs. Sun came out of the kitchen to get some things. When she saw the father and daughter chatting, she said happily, “When your brother comes home later, our family will be complete. It hasn’t been excited like this for a long time in this house.”

Mr. Sun nodded in agreement, “Yes, it is. Ever since Tiantian entered the college, this house has been very quiet. But now she’s finally home.”

Sun Tiantian couldn’t help laughing, “Look what you guys are saying. I’m just going to study, it’s not like I will not come back home.”

Mrs. Sun laughed, “You guys just talk first, I’ll go cooking. When Ah Jing comes home, we can have our dinner.”

When Lin Jing came home, it was already eight in the evening.

Sun Tiantian saw her brother came in, she quickly ran towards the door eagerly. With both hands holding the skirt, one leg pulled back and slightly bent the knee. She gave a European tribute to Lin Jing, “Welcome back home, Brother.”

Lin Jing gave her a quick glance and smiled, “Which drama are you showing now?”

Sun Tiantian laughed, “It’s just because I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Lin Jing changed his shoes and stroked his little sister’s head as he walked past Sun Tiantian.

Sun Tiantian and her brother, have a different family name, but they were born from the same parents. Her brother’s name followed their mother’s family name and Sun Tiantian followed their father’s.

Sun Tiantian hasn’t been home for several months. During the family dinner in the evening, Sun Tiantian drank two glasses of red wine.

After finishing dinner, the family sat on the sofa to watch the New Year Eve program.

However, Sun Tiantian had no interest in watching the program. All night long she just sat on the sofa and chatted with Shen Nianshen through WeChat.

Throughout the night, her cell phone did not once leave her hand, and her lips also kept raising up. She kept smiling from time to time.

Mr. and Mrs. Sun saw their daughter’s behavior along the night, eventually, they both looked at each other with understanding and nodded. Their eyes both said: Something happened to this girl.
