Chapter 101: Learned It, Wife.

Bai Youwei pulled her hand free, trotted to Jiang Yubing’s side, and asked, “Bingbing, how is it?”

“Hurry, let me see.”

She looked at her frantic best friend.

Jiang Yubing pressed the playback button, handed the phone to Bai Youwei, and teased, “You two really looked like a married couple!”

“Damn Bingbing, what are you talking about?”

Bai Youwei snatched the phone and glared at her viciously.

Bai Youwei pouted as she looked at Zhao Ran in the photo.

He actually looked rather decent and even quite handsome.

She wished their genders were the same.

In that case, she figured their relationship would not be as bad as it was now.

However, she still wanted to tease him a bit.

She could mess with him a little.

The elementary school little brother served as a pretty good example.

While Bai Youwei foolishly smiled, Zhao Ran walked toward her.

He felt quite curious as well.

He wondered how he looked wearing women’s clothes for the first time.

As soon as he stood beside Bai Youwei, Zhao Ran heard her whisper, “He behaved pretty well today, so I won’t call him damn Zhao Ran.”

Bai Youwei’s mutter delighted him.

He never expected this little troublemaker to reform one day.

He felt that heaven finally showed mercy.

Yet before he could enjoy the moment, Bai Youwei’s next words shocked him to the core.

“Hmm… if it really works out…”

“Then according to the birthdate on the marriage certificate, I will call you little wife from now on!”

Zhao Ran’s face visibly darkened.

Little wife, my foot.

Did she even hear what she was saying?

Zhao Ran shouted viciously, “Bai Youwei…”

“What are you doing, acting crazy in broad daylight!”

Bai Youwei jumped in fright.

She patted her chest, then turned to look at Zhao Ran.

Seeing Zhao Ran’s darkened face, Bai Youwei looked slightly startled and said, “Whoa… why is your face so dark!”

“Are you planning to become an actor!”

“But you?”

Looking at Bai Youwei’s disdainful face, Zhao Ran sank into memories.

When they first entered college, they just met each other.

They did not bicker every time they met like they did now.

Bai Youwei’s change seemed to start when their two broken families merged.

…

They stood in the courtyard.

The music started.

The group began to practice the dance.

Bai Youwei turned on tiptoe, and the skirt hem brushed across Zhao Ran’s knees.

He jerked back half a step as if scalded and accidentally stepped on her foot.

“Zhao Ran!”

The sharp pain from her foot made Bai Youwei scream, “You did that on purpose!”

“Who told you to speed up all of a sudden!”

Zhao Ran felt a little guilty and retorted, “Moves that twist like this are not ergonomic at all.”

“Ergonomics?”

Bai Youwei let out a cold snort, picked up the phone, and pulled up the instructional videos.

On the screen, the dancers spun smoothly, and she said, “See? You need to step back with your right foot first…”

“Stop!”

Zhao Ran hurriedly cut her off.

“You go left and I go right; this move can’t sync at all!”

“That’s because you are stupid and always half a beat slow!”

Bai Youwei pursed her lips, pointed at Zhao Ran’s hips, and said, “You need to engage this part to drive the rotation, not swing stiffly with your waist!”

Zhao Ran’s ears reddened instantly.

As his gaze darted away, he caught a glimpse of the pair diagonally opposite them.

At that moment, Jiang Yubing held Shen Qingxuan’s wrist, adjusting his posture.

“Husband, your fingertips should…”

Jiang Yubing demonstrated once and then looked at the idiot husband expectantly.

“Like this?”

Shen Qingxuan tilted his head and traced a circle in Jiang Yubing’s palm with his fingertip.

“Husband, you are amazing.”

Jiang Yubing offered generous praise.

Shen Qingxuan laughed and poked Jiang Yubing’s waist with a finger.

“Wife, your waist is softer than I imagined.”

“Of course, haven’t you figured that out these past few nights?”

Jiang Yubing wore a proud expression.

She then wrapped an arm around Shen Qingxuan’s waist and spun in place.

“What are you spacing out for!”

Bai Youwei’s sudden shout snapped Zhao Ran back.

“Look at them!”

She pointed toward Jiang Yubing and the others and said, “See how steady the little brother is when he lifts!”

Zhao Ran, unconvinced, retorted, “That’s because she is half a head taller than you!”

She heard Zhao Ran say she was short.

Bai Youwei immediately became unhappy.

She akimboed her hands and said in an unquestionable tone, “I don’t care!”

“Come here!”

Zhao Ran walked toward her unwillingly.

The two started practicing again.

When Bai Youwei stood on tiptoe, the tip of her nose accidentally brushed Zhao Ran’s chin.

She felt a sudden pain, and her eyes brimmed with tears.

“Weiwei, are you alright?”

Zhao Ran hurriedly crouched to check.

Bai Youwei said nothing; she waited for the pain to fade, rubbed her eyes, and finally stood up.

“If we mess up again this time, I will post your cross-dressing photos on the school forum!”

Zhao Ran’s pupils shrank sharply.

It was clearly her own mistake.

Yet she still blamed him.

Indeed, a woman’s heart was the most ruthless.

Zhao Ran took a deep breath and slowly placed his palm on Bai Youwei’s lower back.

“Three, two, one.”

The music started again.

Zhao Ran’s foot once again landed squarely on Bai Youwei’s toes.

She screamed and lunged into his arms, and the jasmine scent of her hair rushed into Zhao Ran’s nose.

The sudden accident caught Zhao Ran off guard.

His hands froze in midair; for a moment he did not know what to do.

“You did that on purpose!”

Bai Youwei quickly broke free from his arms.

“You are!”

Zhao Ran refused to back down and stared at Bai Youwei’s slender waist.

“Your waist is harder than a steel plate!”

“Ah, ah, ah…”

“Zhao Ran, today it’s you or me; I’m fighting you!”

While chaos unfolded on this side, the other side remained peaceful and warm.

Jiang Yubing squatted on the ground, teaching Shen Qingxuan hand waves by holding his hands.

Her fingertips lightly glided over Shen Qingxuan’s hand.

“Imagine yourself stroking water, flow like a stream…”

After finishing the explanation, Jiang Yubing looked at Shen Qingxuan with gentle eyes and asked, “Husband, did you learn it?”

“Sort of!”

Shen Qingxuan nodded.

He then placed his hand on Jiang Yubing’s thigh, smiled at her, and said, “Learned it, wife.”

Touching here or there was all the same to him.

That felt perfectly reasonable, right?

“Behave, someone is watching.”

Jiang Yubing laughed and slapped his hand away.

“Alright, now it’s my turn.”

When Jiang Yubing turned, her long hair brushed the tip of Shen Qingxuan’s nose, and he immediately sneezed.

During the break, they rested.

Jiang Yubing leaned on Shen Qingxuan’s shoulder for a nap, and the bored Shen Qingxuan glanced at the other pair.

At that moment, Zhao Ran rubbed his ankle.

Bai Youwei squatted beside him, applying a medicated patch and poking his calf with her finger.

Thinking of the nickname Bai Youwei gave Zhao Ran earlier, Shen Qingxuan deliberately raised his voice and teased, “Little wife’s legs are really slim.”

Zhao Ran’s face turned red the moment he heard that.

Bai Youwei burst out laughing.

“Little brother is right,” she patted Zhao Ran’s knee and said, “Do you want to try a puffy skirt tomorrow?”

“Bai Youwei!”

Zhao Ran shot to his feet and grabbed Bai Youwei’s wrist.

“Since you teach so well, I will demonstrate how to lift right now!”

Before she could react, Zhao Ran wrapped his arm around her waist and picked her up.

Bai Youwei let out a cry and hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck.

“See?” Zhao Ran said through clenched teeth, “This is what you call a lift!”

“Your arms are shaking!”

Even so, Bai Youwei still refused to admit defeat.

“Put me down!”

“No!”

“Unless you take back the nickname little wife.”
