He Yi didn’t know why he could speak these things in English. When he first went up, he was very nervous, afraid that he would embarrass himself in front of the teacher and classmates if he didn’t speak well. But when he tried to express his thoughts in English, the words naturally came out of his mind and formed phrases and sentences. He could pronounce them correctly as soon as he opened his mouth, as if it had triggered a conditioned reflex in his brain and body.
After the lecture, the teacher’s praise and the students’ applause made He Yi feel somewhat lost. In his few remaining vague memories of school and classrooms, the teacher had never praised him. Instead, the teacher often lost his temper with him, sometimes even hitting and scolding him. His classmates always avoided him and wouldn’t play with him, or several classmates would gather together to bully him.
He couldn’t understand why this was happening. He just felt very unhappy at school and gradually stopped wanting to go. He also became less and less fond of interacting with others. So when his mother first let him study at home, he was relieved.
“He Yi, you can go back to your seat now.” The English teacher gently reminded him when she saw the handsome and cute boy suddenly lost in thought.
He Yi snapped out of his daze, gave the teacher a silly grin, and returned to his seat in a daze. However, once the teacher officially began the lesson, his attention was focused on the class.
He was happy that he could understand what the teacher was saying, and he became more attentive in class.
He Yuan observed He Yi throughout the entire class, but even after watching for so long, she still couldn’t be sure whether He Yi was pretending to be stupid. Although this kid hadn’t forgotten what he had learned, the way he interacted with other classmates during breaks was still quite silly, and it didn’t seem like he was deliberately faking it.
After class, when He Yuan saw He Yi skipping and jumping out of the classroom with his schoolbag on his back, she quickly followed. Just as she was about to talk to He Yi, she suddenly saw the bodyguards waiting outside the classroom to pick up He Yi, so she had to stop in her tracks.
“Ah Hu, Ah Hu, I’ve finished my English class! The teacher just praised me!” He Yi bounced up to Ah Hu and proudly boasted.
Ah Hu had been waiting outside the classroom and had seen He Yi’s performance during class. He was quite surprised and reported the incident to Shang Jingwu.
Seeing He Yi’s eager expression, he took He Yi’s schoolbag and praised with a smile, “Little Yi is great!”
Before the start of the semester, Shang Jingwu reminded them not to call He Yi “Madam” at school, so as not to attract the attention of other students and disturb He Yi’s daily life. So A Hu called He Yi by his name directly.
He Yi got the praise he wanted, and smiled, revealing two little dimples. He pulled Ah Hu and ran towards the next classroom, excitedly shouting as he ran, “Math class! It’s math class soon! I love math class the most!”
Unlike English classes, which break up students from different majors and regroup them into classes, math classes are arranged according to major and class, so He Yi has to attend classes with the students in his class.
He didn’t participate in military training, and today was his first day of class, so he didn’t even recognize all his classmates. Seeing that the seats in front of him were empty, he just found a seat and sat down.
With only a few minutes left before class, many more students arrived. Once the back seats were almost full, the latecomers had no choice but to sit in the front.
Several girls sat down near He Yi. Seeing that he was good-looking, they couldn’t help but strike up a conversation with him, only to find out that they were in the same class.
“I’ve never seen you before. What’s your name?” the girls asked curiously.
He Yi opened his textbook, pointed to the name written on it, and stammered, “I… I didn’t have military training.”
Without familiar faces around, he was still a bit shy. He would get nervous when there were many people around, and he would blush unconsciously after being stared at by several girls for a while. He would also stammer when answering questions asked by others.
He originally thought that his classmates would dislike him because of this, but to his surprise, the girls praised him for being cute and even asked him for his contact information.
He Yi didn’t know the implied meaning of giving contact information to women, so he honestly gave them his phone number. Then another girl asked, “He Yi, do you have WeChat?”
“No,” He Yi said, shaking his head.
This phone number was just registered for him by Shang Jingwu a few days ago. He had temporarily stopped using his previous phone number and various social media apps, and he hadn’t had time to register a new WeChat account yet.
“Really not? If you don’t have WeChat, we’ll have to call you if we want to hang out with you,” another girl joked with a laugh.
They felt that this handsome young man seemed a bit naive, so they couldn’t resist teasing him.
Instead of feeling embarrassed, He Yi happily said, “Okay, okay, I’ll be waiting for you guys.”
Several girls laughed, finding He Yi even more adorable. They chatted with him non-stop, keeping He Yi busy until class started, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This math class was held together by several classes. The classroom was quite large. After the bell rang, Ah Hu saw that there were still empty seats inside, so he took the opportunity to come in.
Instead of sitting with He Yi, he found a relatively secluded spot, recorded a video of He Yi listening to the lecture on his phone, and sent it to Shang Jingwu.
Shang Jingwu only saw the message from Ah Hu after the meeting. He opened the video and saw He Yi sitting obediently and upright in the front row of the classroom, listening attentively to the lesson, and occasionally taking notes or doing calculations, as if he really understood it.
Furthermore, Ah Hu mentioned that He Yi could introduce himself in English, which made him feel that He Yi’s state was very strange. It seemed that he had simply forgotten his past life experiences, but still remembered what he had learned, and his personality had also changed drastically.
He informed the psychologist of his latest findings, and then left the company to go to He Yi’s school.
So as soon as get out of class ended, He Yi heard Ah Hu say, “Young Master is here to pick you up. He’s waiting at the school gate.”
He Yi immediately grabbed his schoolbag and tried to run out, but there were too many people after school, and he couldn’t even squeeze down the stairs. He could only stand there anxiously.
The girls who had asked for his contact information took the opportunity to come over and continue chatting with him. He Yi was in a hurry to see Shang Jingwu and couldn’t spare the time to deal with them. In addition, there were many people around and it was too noisy to hear what they were saying. So he didn’t say much throughout the conversation. However, the girls didn’t feel neglected and thought he was just spacing out again.
Seeing this, Ah Hu quietly squeezed through and separated He Yi from the others.
Being popular with classmates is a good thing, but if the young mistress accidentally attracts some unwanted attention, the young master will definitely make an example of him first.
With Ah Hui’s experience serving as a cautionary tale, Ah Hu had to be even more careful.
The girls noticed that Ah Hu didn’t look like a student and asked one after another, “He Yi, who is this?”
Before He Yi could speak, Ah Hu answered, “I am his cousin.”
“Hey cousin, are you free at noon? Want to go out for lunch together?” one of the girls asked familiarly.
“Sorry, we have something else to do,” Ah Hu said, declining.
The girl didn’t seem embarrassed at all and said with a smile, “Then let’s make another appointment sometime?”
Ah Hu couldn’t refuse any longer, so he vaguely agreed.
The group finally managed to squeeze downstairs. The space below was more open, and the crowd dispersed immediately. He Yi seized the opportunity and immediately sprinted towards the school gate, not even hearing the girls saying goodbye to him from behind.
After finding Shang Jingwu’s car near the school gate, he opened the back door with practiced ease, climbed in, and rushed into Shang Jingwu’s arms like a fledgling returning to its nest, saying, “Husband, husband, I missed you so much.”
There were too many strangers at school; he only felt safe when he was back with Shang Jingwu.
“I studied hard today, and my teacher even praised me,” He Yi said.
Shang Jingwu pinched his cheek. “You understand everything in class?”
He Yi nodded, “I understand! Math class is very interesting!”
A faint smile appeared on Shang Jingwu’s face. “Let’s go eat.”
He Yi usually forgets everything else when he hears about eating, but today he unusually pulled Shang Jingwu aside and asked, “Honey, I’ve behaved so well, aren’t you going to give me a reward?”
“What do you want?” Shang Jingwu asked, amused.
“I want a kiss from my husband! You haven’t kissed me today!” He Yi said coquettishly.
He’s been really into being intimate with Shang Jingwu lately because it always feels so good, but Shang Jingwu doesn’t really initiate it, so he has to make his own requests.
Upon hearing this, the driver in front wisely lowered the partition on the back seat.
Looking into He Yi’s bright eyes, Shang Jingwu chuckled and said, “Come here.”
He Yi obediently moved closer, staring longingly at Shang Jingwu, and even subconsciously swallowed.
Shang Jingwu reached out and pulled the back of He Yi’s head, kissing him until He Yi was breathless before letting go. Then he wiped the moisture from He Yi’s lips with his thumb and asked with a smile, “Is that enough?”
He Yi was panting heavily, his lips were red from being kissed, and his cheeks were flushed a beautiful pink.
The tingling sensation from his lips spread throughout his body during the kiss, a feeling that he found addictive. So, once he caught his breath, he couldn’t wait to say, “Not enough, not enough, I want more.”
Shang Jingwu did not continue, but instead distanced himself from He Yi, saying, “Let’s continue when we get home tonight, otherwise we won’t be able to have lunch.”
If this little guy keeps lighting the fire, he won’t want to eat food anymore.
“Can we play games tonight?” He Yi asked expectantly.
“It depends on your performance,” Shang Jingwu said in a slightly hoarse voice.
He Yi immediately promised, “I will be very good.”
After a morning of classes, He Yi’s stomach was growling with hunger. Seeing this, Shang Jingwu reached out and touched He Yi’s flat stomach. Then he instructed the driver to find a restaurant nearby and took out a bag of snacks to feed He Yi.
“Eat something to fill your stomach first.”
He Yi happily agreed, then impatiently tore open the package and wolfed it down, his cheeks puffed out as he mumbled, “Okay, okay, do you want, honey?”
Shang Jingwu laughed and said, “I’m not eating. You can eat slowly. No one will take it from you.”
