Trip Never Forget

Episode3

Tamsui, the weather is as cold as yesterday, perhaps even colder, but compared to yesterday, I don't feel cold at all now. A sunny girl I met out of nowhere is chatting with me like an old friend along the way, and the biting cold wind seems to retreat on its own. However, some might say that I'm a lecherous pervert, full of evil thoughts, which speeds up my blood circulation, so I don't feel cold.

But who cares? All I know is that many people along the way cast envious glances at us as we laughed and chatted, especially some male compatriots. With her looks, she attracted many dagger-like stares aimed at me. Maybe it's because I'm too ugly and short, making it hard to match her sunny and radiant appearance, which is why I was subjected to such disdainful looks.

But honestly, being subjected to such disdain felt great! An ugly guy, destined to be a standard engineer, who neither knows how to have fun nor how to woo girls, having a happy chat with a pretty babe like this is as rare as an old cat sniffing salted fish: impossible!

Some might say that there are pretty girls in blind dates too! I don't deny it, but the pretty ones usually have issues! Either they have quirks, family problems, or are heavily in debt, or they come from a family of gangsters. Anyway, you will never meet a girl like Yang Ying through blind dates, I can almost guarantee that.

The seminar was as boring and lengthy as usual, even the session I was supposed to present in wasn't much better. But today was a bit different because there was someone I knew in the audience.

When we arrived, Yang Ying quickly found her senior, but she didn't introduce me to her senior. Maybe she didn't even mention me or last night's incident to her senior. That must be it. If it were me, I probably wouldn't mention that I went into the wrong room, got into the wrong bed, and was seen naked!

Thinking about her naked body, my little brother down there protested, having missed the chance to perform last night. But now I was in trouble. With thick winter clothes, it wasn't obvious how angry he was, but the discomfort was something only I knew.

Historical records show that high-pressure governance usually doesn't end well. Proper guidance, like Yu the Great controlling the floods, is the best strategy. I had to quickly find a restroom to adjust my posture and avoid direct pressure. Don't get the wrong idea! Although I often do that thing, I'm not the type to do it anywhere and leave traces everywhere.

From a distance, her senior had a tall and slim figure, and the most noticeable feature was her long hair reaching her waist, black and shiny, perfect for a commercial. When we entered the small seminar room, I saw up close that she was indeed quite beautiful, not inferior to Yang Ying. They were the only two girls in the venue, and both were stunning beauties, attracting many secret glances from almost everyone.

But I was probably the luckiest among them because they both sat next to me. The unique fragrance of girls occasionally teased my sense of smell, and I had seen one of them naked and had skin contact. And she—Yang Ying—was sitting right next to me, occasionally giving me apologetic glances for not acknowledging me.

But this back-and-forth made my little brother restless again. Statistics say that men think about s*x every three to five minutes on average. I don't know if that's true, but I really hoped it was wrong because going on stage with a tent in my pants would be very embarrassing.

Her senior went on stage before me, reporting something I didn't know. I was just anxious for my little brother to calm down because I was next! But with the source of stimulation sitting right next to me, occasionally giving me a little tease, how could I calm down?

Soon, her senior finished her report, and it was my turn. I had to go on stage with a slightly bent posture, trying not to be too obvious.

Normally, starting the report seriously would make my little brother calm down quickly, but damn it, her senior was wearing a V-neck sweater in this cold weather, with a silk scarf around her neck. When I looked down from the stage, I could see her cleavage. Oh my god! I almost forgot what I was supposed to report.

For the first time, I felt how uncomfortable it was when half of my blood was concentrated in the wrong place. I never thought such a pleasant thing could become so awkward and uncomfortable!

I hurriedly finished my report, bent over, and quickly went back to my seat. Those who didn't know might think I was being humble or guilty! Only heaven knew how embarrassed I was.

After that, I had no interest in listening to others. My face was probably red down to my neck.

The annoying thing was that Yang Ying kept picking up a pen, twirling it, and winking at me, occasionally glancing at my lower body. Damn it! Did she notice? This woman has no shame.

In the afternoon, to avoid embarrassment and not be teased by Yang Ying, and because the seminar was really boring, I left for Tamsui Old Street after having the free lunch and reluctantly listening to one more session.

Tamsui Old Street didn't look very old to me, just a few older buildings. The old people there seemed much older than the buildings. The cold weather meant there weren't many tourists. The old street was filled with vendors selling fish crisps, iron eggs, fish balls, and sour plum soup, with no creativity at all.

Feeling bored, someone suddenly patted my back.

"Hey!"

"Hmm?" I turned around and saw Yang Ying.

"It's you," I said.

"Hey~ you sound disappointed to see me," Yang Ying said.

Heaven knows, I was actually a bit guilty, especially after making a fool of myself twice in one day.

"No, no, I'm not disappointed," I quickly said. "I was just surprised to see a fairy calling me. I thought I was in heaven for a moment."

"Hehe... you're such a smooth talker. How could I be a fairy?" she said, then paused and added, "Wait, that's not right. Are you cursing me to die?!"

"I... heaven and earth can attest, I wouldn't dare!" Such thoughts can only be thought, not spoken. If caught, I would never admit it, even if beaten to death.

In my first calculus class in college, the professor said that if you ever cheat outside, and your wife or girlfriend asks, you must never admit it. Never believe in leniency for confession or honesty without guilt. Even if caught in bed, with your little brother inside another woman, you must say, "I don't know anything. My mind is blank. I must have been drugged or possessed by a s*x demon." Never admit it!

I never had the chance to use this advice, but I always remembered it and applied it well. In today's situation, I definitely couldn't admit it.

"What wouldn't you dare?" Her mischievous smile made me anticipate what she would say next.

"You couldn't even behave while presenting your paper. What wouldn't you dare?" she said triumphantly.

Oh my god! She has no shame. When a girl teases you without shame, how can you fight back? Sigh...

"You..." I was speechless.

"Hehe, you're such a pervert. You must have been peeking at my senior, right?"

"I..."

"Don't deny it. I know I guessed right," she said even more triumphantly.

"Sigh..." I sighed deeply.

"Why are you sighing?" she asked curiously.

"Sigh..." I sighed again but didn't answer her.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you sighing?" She seemed unsure how to deal with me.

'Hehe, you're falling for it. This ultimate move will get you hooked!' I thought to myself.

I don't remember who said it, but women are curious creatures. The more mysterious you are, the more they pay attention. Sure enough.

"I... I..." I couldn't think of what to say, but my expression was rich, showing frustration, sadness, and a bit of helplessness, with some resentful glances at her.

"You, what's wrong?" She was indeed very nervous. Hehe, she still has a kind heart.

"I... to be honest..." I held back my laughter. "I... really... am..."

"Am what?" She focused even more.

"Am... just kidding!" I said loudly.

"Wow, haha!" I almost burst my belly laughing.

"You... you're so bad!" She chased after me, hitting me. I deliberately slowed down, letting her hit me a few times. Otherwise, I couldn't handle the situation.

"Wow! It hurts! Oh! You're so ruthless!" "Wow! Help!" "Murder!"

I pretended to cry in pain, and it worked. She stopped hitting me after a few hits. To enhance the effect, I deliberately rubbed my back and shoulders, acting like my bones were about to fall apart.

"Are you... really in pain?" she asked with some guilt.

"Yes." I made a full expression. If I were acting, I would probably win an Oscar.

"Sorry, I was too rough," she said, looking genuinely apologetic.

"It's... it's okay."

"Really okay?" she asked again.

"Yes... oh... ouch, it hurts!"

"Hmph, this is your lesson for deceiving an innocent girl. See if you dare to trick me again." She suddenly pinched my arm hard.

"Oh, you're so ruthless!" I said helplessly. My lie was exposed, and there was no point in arguing.

"Hmph, if I weren't ruthless, you wouldn't remember." She was very proud.

"Tsk, tsk, it hurts." I rubbed my arm. "How did you know I was lying?"

"Hehe, I have sharp eyes. I saw your ears twitching, and your eyes looked strange. I knew you were lying."

"Ah! How did you know my ears twitch when I lie?" I asked. "Very few people know that."

"Hehe, I met someone like you before. Every time he lied, his ears twitched. When I saw your ears twitch, I thought about it and knew you were lying."

"Ah? I'm so wronged, dying without knowing why." It wasn't my bad acting but the influence of a fellow sufferer. What bad luck.

Laughing and chatting, we reached the MRT station. There was an outdoor café below the station, with a strong coffee aroma. I was about to invite her for a cup when she spoke first.

"Hey, do you drink coffee? Join me for a cup," Yang Ying said.

"Sure, I was just thinking of having something hot."

"Let's sit outside."

"Okay!"

I'm not familiar with coffee, so I randomly ordered a cappuccino. She seemed very knowledgeable about coffee and ordered a cup with a name I could never remember.

"Wow, so romantic~" she said.

"Yes, freezing romance," I said.

"You're such a wimp. If you're afraid of the cold, just say so. We can sit inside. You're ruining the mood," she pouted.

I looked at her, with the Tamsui sunset behind her. Although the weather was bad, it was still very atmospheric. A beautiful woman pouting, I was momentarily stunned.

"Hey, hey~" she interrupted my thoughts. "Wipe your drool. The coffee is about to overflow."

"Oh," like a child who did something wrong, I quickly lowered my head, not daring to look at her.

"Hey, what were you thinking just now?" She was a little devil, not letting me off.

"I was thinking..." My mind raced.

"Thinking what?" she pressed. "That I'm too beautiful?"
