The fiercest and sweetest

Chapter 19: Amber Walnut Kernels

It was a sunny day. White clouds floated around the sun, and the warm rays of light shone on the plants still covered in morning dew. A new day was slowly beginning.

Jiang Yao was once again woken up by the school's wake-up bell. He took a deep breath to calm his irritable mood, and with sleepy eyes, he reached for the bathroom to start brushing his teeth and washing his face.

The cold water splashed on his face finally brought a brief moment of clarity. The sun had broken through the white clouds and was spreading its glorious history across the earth. The golden sun looked particularly like a fallen god after being deified in Jiang Yao's eyes.

He didn't know why he had so many whimsical thoughts early in the morning.

With breakfast delivered by Xie Chen in his mouth, Jiang Yao walked to the classroom door with shortness of breath. The obedient children inside had already started taking out their textbooks and preparing for morning reading.

Jiang Yao lowered his head and examined his rakish appearance, nodded, and there was no problem. He could go right in.

As soon as Jiang Yao opened the door, he was the center of attention. Their eyes scanned Jiang Yao's body like searchlights, making Jiang Yao feel uncomfortable and his expression turn cold.

Yan Heng had been in a state as if he had died since returning last night. At the moment, he saw Jiang Yao come over and just weakly flashed a smile as a greeting.

Jiang Yao unconsciously frowned. He put the milk aside, his head tilted and his eyes clear. When he noticed that Yan Heng ignored him, even if he was puzzled, he no longer wondered what was going on. His gaze returned to the milk carton, his teeth lightly biting the slender straw. One hand rested on his head, and his emerald green eyes rarely wore a clear look.

Xu Qin in the front row turned her head. She smiled at Jiang Yao, and that smile carried an indescribable wretchedness, which made Jiang Yao's body start to break out in goosebumps.

“What's wrong?” This was the first time that Jiang Yao had paid attention to a classmate other than Yan Heng. Xu Qin's eyes were full of happiness. When she was happy, her rose-scented pheromones would uncontrollably come out, so strong that they almost turned the classroom into a garden.

Yan Heng frowned, and her large hand, as if by magic, embraced Jiang Yao next to her. Her head rested on his shoulder, and her face with its bushy eyebrows and big eyes looked quite fierce: ”Take back your pheromones.” What if his little friend gets a fever?

Xu Qin, who realized that she had gotten too excited, quickly gathered her pheromones. She smiled apologetically at Jiang Yao, “So...” Just as she opened her mouth, she realized that she didn't know how to address Jiang Yao. After a few minutes, she scratched her head and continued, “I'm sorry, I got too excited just now. Jiang Yao, you still haven't handed in your homework.”

“...Huh?” Jiang Yao opened his mouth wide, looking at Xu Qin with a distorted expression.

Yan Heng was puzzled for a moment, and then sent the person back. He let go of Jiang Yao's hand and his eyes shone like stars in the sky: “Kid...how about I tutor you in the future? Didn't your second brother say that if you failed the test again, he would cut off your allowance?”

“He wouldn't dare.” At most, he would threaten, but if he really dared to cut it off, Jiang Yao would definitely complain to his parents and get them to back him up.

After all, he was the little angel who did whatever he wanted and the little treasure of the family.

“But we can't be that overbearing, can we, baby?” Yan Heng decided that no matter what, by hook or by crook, he would at least manage to insert himself into the child's life.

His brother said, the child's second brother said, the child has someone she likes. So what, that person she likes is not here anyway, and there's another word in the world called ‘love affair’, isn't there?

As long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely be able to make the child like such an outstanding him!

Yan Heng secretly cheered herself on, sweeping away the look of impending doom she had just had, and her overflowing energy left Jiang Yao completely at a loss.

Jiang Yao was not the only one feeling confused. Xu Qin didn't know when she had quietly turned her head again. Her slightly round eyes blinked curiously, and she quickly wrote a sentence with her fingers pinching her pen.

The small note came from the front, and Jiang Yao pursed her lips as her slender, knuckled fingers nervously grasped the small note. His expression was a little complicated. Very few people would pass notes to him.

After all, his reputation preceded him. It was considered very brave for others not to take the long way around when they saw him.

Unfolding the paper, the scribbled words inside gave Jiang Yao a headache. He pursed his lips and looked coldly at the series of words, which seemed to be forming a picture. Finally, he recognized them, and he couldn't help but laugh inside.

How could he know why Yanheng looked different all the time? He was not a worm in Yanheng's stomach.

With the idea that this would happen once in a century, Jiang Yao took the initiative to poke Yanheng's arm and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Yanheng was so excited by this gaze that his heart almost stopped beating. He immediately flashed a smile that he thought was the best, and his voice was so soft that he sounded pregnant: “Baby, what's wrong?”

“Someone wants to know why you were about to die just a few minutes ago.” Jiang Yao's mouth has been personally verified by many people to be ruthless. Even if you say it nicely, it always sounds like you deserve a beating when he translates it.

Yan Heng had originally wanted to give a good answer to Jiang Yao, but this was a bit too much of a beating. The narrow eyes stared at the dark eyes, which directly crashed into Jiang Yao's green eyes. The calm surface was rippled, and unknowingly, it was stained with a little black.

“Little friend, it's not good to speak too rudely,” Yan Heng's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his fingers forcefully grabbed the fingers that Jiang Yao had just poked him with. His cheeks couldn't help but rub against the back of Jiang Yao's neck.

He suddenly felt an urge to mark the boy directly, so that when the time came, even if the boy didn't like it, he would have to accept himself.

Jiang Yao knew nothing of Yan Heng's inner thoughts. He smiled brightly, and the sun's rays spread out from his eyes, like the shimmering surface of water rippling in the spring breeze.

“But they can't hit me.”

Even if they could, they couldn't beat him.

Speaking of the word “fight”, Yan Heng suddenly remembered something, and his hand changed from a grab to a grip: “Did you go to the square that day just to fight?” At the time, he and Xie Chen were separated by the crowd.

“...Didn't fight. Xie Chen didn't dare let me do it.”

Jiang Yao said it very calmly, as if fighting someone was commonplace to him. Yan Heng couldn't help but feel distressed for his young friend. He was obviously such a soft person, but he was forced to fight. How outrageous were those people?

His head rubbed against Jiang Yao's side face, and his thin lips placed a light kiss on it: “From now on, we won't fight anymore, okay?” His little friend shouldn't be dragged down and assimilated by such a dirty world.

“Stop for a second, who and you are we?” Jiang Yao raised an eyebrow, not buying what Yan Heng said. Nonsense, what does it matter to Yan Heng whether he fights or not?

The atmosphere was quite nice. The morning reading was suddenly interrupted when the door was kicked open by someone, revealing an extremely arrogant face.

“Which one of you is Yan Heng? Get out here! How dare you steal my omega, you don't want to live, do you?”
