A Girl's Little Thoughts

June 28th.

Today was the day to check the college entrance examination scores for the top fifty students in the province.

Shen Nian woke up early and helped his mom make breakfast.

Since they had already rested at home for a day, even though the scores were released today, Chen Minyue and Shen Shi didn't plan to take the day off. They just reminded Shen Nian to give them a call to share the good news once his score was out.

Regardless, reaching the top fifty in the province was a level that Chen Minyue and Shen Shi were already very satisfied with.

Shen Nian scrolled through the comments in his room, picking a few to reply to. Some people had doubts about certain parts of his study document, and he answered them one by one.

Everything was looking up.

However, he also received some bad news through the comments.

Some scummy scalper had taken his study document, disguised it as a paid study file, and listed it for resale on the Little Yellow Fish app. Although they were only charging a buck or two, he was really angry that someone had stolen what he was giving away for free and started charging for it.

Damn scalpers.

If someone in the comments hadn't posted a screenshot to warn him, he wouldn't have even known.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about those scalpers. He could only hurriedly take down the link to the study document, edit it again, and type his account ID [Invincible Master Shen] right at the very beginning, along with a small line of text:

'This document is shared for free. If you are charged for it, it proves you have been scammed. Follow [Invincible Master Shen] to get it for free.'

This was the only way. Reselling was actually the lesser evil; he was more worried about someone using his name to scam people.

"Shen Nian!"

Shen Nian paused, pulling his thoughts back. He ran to the balcony and peeked down. Xia Yanchun, sporting a cute single ponytail, was standing right downstairs.

Before Shen Nian could say a word, Xia Yanchun shouted, "Help me grab a package!"

"Can't you go yourself?"

"Oh, just go get it for me. I already sent you the tracking info."

"What else do you do all day besides bossing people around? I really want to punch you into the air."

"Hurry up and come down!!"

"..."

She was dead set on bossing him around.

Shen Nian felt depressed. He had always lived like this. It made him shake with anger. She was only born a month or so earlier than him, but she really treated herself like his older sister.

He wanted to give her a flying kick.

Still, Shen Nian went downstairs.

Xia Yanchun was still downstairs with her hands on her hips, looking incredibly smug. Every time she bossed Shen Nian around, it was her proudest moment.

"I feel like you're the type of person who gets bullied outside and then comes home to take it out on your family."

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with helping me get a package?"

"Alright, alright, I'll get it, okay?" Shen Nian sighed. Younger brothers were born to be ordered around by older sisters. It was true for blood sisters, and true for non-blood ones too. It was like a bloodline suppression.

But he couldn't be bossed around for nothing. Shen Nian glanced left and right. Uncle Xia and Auntie Wen weren't around, and there were hardly any pedestrians at this hour. He could do a little something bad.

Shen Nian quickly pecked Xia Yanchun on the cheek. Ignoring whatever expression she had, he happily ran off to get his scooter.

Xia Yanchun covered the spot Shen Nian had kissed and puffed out her cheeks, but she didn't scold him. She just watched him drive away.

She had her own little schemes. She secretly hoped that her family would walk in on Shen Nian kissing her. That way, her parents would come talk to her, and she could take the opportunity to confess that Shen Nian had asked her out.

If not, she would have to confess to her family herself.

For the past two days, she had been looking for a chance and mentally preparing herself, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

Even a young girl with no life or academic pressure had her own little worries.

The package station was very close; a round trip took about fifteen minutes.

Xia Yanchun's four packages were placed on the footboard, leaving Shen Nian with almost no room to put his feet.

He could tell they were clothes just by touching them.

If he kissed her cheek on the way there, he had to pinch her cheek on the way back. Shen Nian pinched Xia Yanchun's fair little face and gave it a good squeeze.

He just couldn't resist being a little rascal.

"That's enough." Xia Yanchun grumpily swatted his hand away and took her packages back inside.

Shen Nian followed her up to the third floor. "What did you buy? Swimsuits?"

"Yeah, mine, yours, Sister Shen Yue's, and Shi Yan's. They're all here."

"Why is there one for the little girl? You bought one for her too?"

"Yeah, it's the same style. We're the same size anyway, so I'll just give it to her when we all go together." Xia Yanchun muttered, "Why did you follow me? I need to try on the clothes."

"I promise I won't peek."

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Xia Yanchun curled her lips. She didn't believe him at all. She pushed him out to stop him from entering and shut him out of the room.

Shen Nian was so annoyed he went to use the bathroom in a huff.

Trying on clothes didn't take long. Xia Yanchun opened the door after changing into her swimsuit.

It was a pink swimsuit. The top was a combination of suspenders and a lace hem, while the bottom was a simple little skirt with fluffy lace. The two-piece design made it look like a slip dress when worn.

The length was only slightly shorter than Shen Nian's shorts, and it didn't look much different from the little skirts she usually wore when going to the mall.

Shen Nian stroked his chin. His auto-targeting system didn't know where to lock on for a moment, so it seemed he could only look at her fair arms.

Xia Yanchun twirled her hair. It was her first time wearing a swimsuit, and she didn't want to wear something too revealing like a bikini, so she chose this more conservative style.

Because of the materials used, it was a bit pricey, but the beauty was undeniable, and it held its own against other swimsuits when in the water.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Shen Nian always loved telling the honest truth.

Setting aside Xia Yanchun's face, the swimsuit itself was very pretty.

Xia Yanchun went to the mirror again, admiring herself from top to bottom, left and right. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. She even lifted the hem of her skirt in front of Shen Nian, revealing the safety shorts underneath.

Society was becoming more open, and fewer people were wearing swimsuits that looked like underwear. Xia Yanchun had searched for beach videos and saw that many girls went wearing little skirts, and the pictures they took made them look like fairies.

This outfit was her ultimate masterpiece, chosen with swimming, sunbathing, playing in the sand, and, most importantly, taking photos in mind. When the time came, she was going to take a ton of pictures, at least four or five hundred to be satisfied.

"This set is mine, right? I'm opening it."

"Mhm."

Shen Nian opened the package. Inside was a pair of loose blue shorts and a Hong Kong-style blue and white cardigan.

"Looks like a fisherman." Shen Nian pictured it in his head.

"That's what makes it look good. Try it on."

"Then you go out first."

"It's not like I haven't seen you before. Are you being shy?"

Xia Yanchun pouted. She wasn't going to leave. Taking a step back, this was her room anyway. If anyone should leave, it should be Shen Nian going out to change and coming back.

She sounded confident, but after saying that, Xia Yanchun still guiltily shifted her gaze.

"...You little rascal."

Shen Nian sweatdropped. How could someone have such double standards?

He turned his back to her and quickly changed into the shorts, threw on the cardigan, and looked in the mirror. The fisherman vibe he had imagined instantly vanished.

Now it was his turn to be vain.

Truth be told, Haji-Chun's fashion sense was actually pretty good.

"As expected of me, I look handsome in anything."

"It's clearly because I picked out good clothes."

"Haha, it's mainly because I'm just that handsome."

"You're just average, I guess." Xia Yanchun looked him up and down, suppressing the satisfaction in her heart. She clapped her little hands and huffed, "Alright, take them off. We'll throw them in the washing machine tonight. I'll head over to your place later to check our scores."

"Sure, but I'll be livestreaming, just so you know."

"Stream if you want, just be careful not to leak your personal information."

"Got it."

Shen Nian nodded, but instead of turning to leave, he squeezed closer to Xia Yanchun and wrapped his arms around her waist. Even through the silky fabric of her swimsuit, Shen Nian could feel the girl's delicate skin through his fingertips.

Xia Yanchun glared at him. "What are you doing? Getting perverted ideas again?"

"Watch how you speak to me, or I'll give you a twenty-four-hit Little Bee elbow combo to set you straight." Shen Nian cleared his throat. "What bad intentions could I possibly have? I just wanted to be a little affectionate before heading back."

"Mmm..."

Just as Xia Yanchun expected, Shen Nian leaned in and invaded her lips. Her thoughts instantly fell into disarray. She raised her hands, then lowered them, eventually letting them rest obediently against Shen Nian's chest.

After catching his breath, Shen Nian kissed her again. She could smell the faint, pleasant scent on him. Quietly closing her eyes, she leaned her weight forward against him.

"Phew... hehe." Shen Nian rested his forehead against Xia Yanchun's, playfully bumping his nose against hers in a goofy manner.

A proactive Chunbao was super cute.

"Keep laughing and I'll hit you," Xia Yanchun huffed angrily, actually giving Shen Nian a light punch.

"Hiss, didn't hurt."

"Hurry up and change your clothes so we can go back!"

"Alright, whatever Chunbao says."
