I was going to say that no one would talk to me, but when I read it in the evening, I was surprised by the response. I was so moved that I immediately wrote a sequel… Sorry, it’s not erotica.
(i)
As a teenager who didn’t like to study, I failed in the JEE and only got into a super lousy school, so I made up my mind to study for another year. I paid a very expensive enrollment fee and tuition fee (a real pain in the ass), and so began my jihad.
I was assigned a seat at the very back by the door, and I thought to myself, “I’m so unlucky, I can’t work hard like this. I complained a few times and went home to tell my family that I was done.
On the first day, you have to arrive early, I was in a full day class. When I arrived at the cram school, there were no students there yet. When the classroom teacher saw me coming so early, she came over to me and talked to me: “Hi! Why are you here so early? How many classes are you in?”
“Um, I’m in the full day, third classroom.” I replied a little nervously.
She smiled and said, “As it happens, I’m the teaching assistant, or class advisor, in your room, but it’s just changing exam papers, no big deal.”
Later, I learned that her name was Yifang and she was two years older than me. This year, she was in her third year of high school and was going to take the Joint Entrance Examination, so she only came to work during the summer vacation, and after that, she would have to study hard and not work.
When I heard the bell, I started class. I was excited at first, but by the afternoon, I couldn’t stand it. It was only the first day, and already I wanted to skip class… I can’t change my nature…
I was about to sneak away when I saw the assistant teacher and I met eyes, as if I knew what I was going to do, I had to wait until the end of the class, to the first break in the afternoon, she came over to me: “Come on, for you to drink, class is not attentive Oh!” She was a bit angry.
“Thanks, I’m not much of a reader, it takes me a while to get used to it!” I kind of think she’s a bit of a dick.
“That doesn’t work like that!” She had the air of a teacher.
“Oh, well, so pretty don’t be so cha, also will not be able to get married oh!” I joke about her.
Soon, class started again, and after chatting with her, I was in much better spirits, and finished my afternoon class without any problems. When I walked out of the cram school, I ran into Yifang again, and she asked me to go to dinner. I was starving, so I went with her. I was so hungry that I went with her. It was really nice to have a sister with me, someone to take care of me. I didn’t realize that she had fallen in love with me at first sight, but I just thought she cared about me!
Two months later, in order to celebrate her departure, I found a few other students who were usually good friends and Yifang to go to sing with her. We drank a little bit, and we were all very happy that night. After we finished, I went for a walk with her in a nearby park. I think she was drunk, and she was staggering around.
“Yifang, are you alright, you won’t drink and still drink so much.” I was a little worried.
“Whatever, nerd, don’t you know I like you!” She replied drunkenly.
I thought she was joking and said, “I love you too, I love you to death!”
She froze, tears welling up in her eyes, and I panicked: “Y… Yvonne, I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing, don’t cry, okay?” I coaxed and apologized and said a few more words.
She suddenly turned her face towards me with her eyes half-closed and looked up at me… Seeing her in such a loving manner, no man would want to resist, so I couldn’t help but kiss her as well. But I’d never kissed before, so I felt nervous just pressing my lips against hers. She opened her eyes and her face looked even redder. I nervously grabbed her hand, and she obediently let me take it.
I don’t know how long…
“Yvonne, when did you… like me, I don’t even know…” I asked.
“Remember your first day of class?” She answered with her head down.
I thought for a moment, “I remember, it’s only been two months, I arrived early that day and saw you greet me, but I was so nervous then.”
“It’s when I saw how nervous you were that I thought it was adorable… I had only thought of you as a younger brother, but then I realized that…” she was silent again.
“In love with me…” I then answered myself.
“Mn…” her head lowered even more, and her face seemed to redden even more under the streetlight.
I cupped her face and gave her another deep kiss. The time was close to 12:00, really had to go back, her home is near the cram school, I rode the bike to send her home, and then go back myself. Because full of mind are just the picture, no idea of the road traffic conditions, in a big turn, suddenly appeared a big truck, I was alerted to when it was too late, watching it to the side of the flash, but still a little short of that, or was hit by the bullet to the mountain wall there, when I was hit by that time, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, it was seven days later.
“Look, patient 207 is awake, call the doctor.” A woman’s voice.
Another woman’s voice was heard: “Okay, I’ll go call Dr. Wang.”
“Brother! Brother~! Mom, brother’s awake!” Isn’t this… isn’t this Li-Fen (my sister)? I opened my eyes, but couldn’t do so properly because I wasn’t used to the light. All I could see was my mother crying with joy and hugging my sister. Shortly after, Dr. Wang came and told my mother that I was lucky, if I had missed by just a centimeter, I would have been a dead man or a dead woman.
I moved and my body ached.
“Don’t move, brother, your left hand and left foot are fractured, your head is also concussed, and you have more than 20 stitches, and you have more injuries on your body than you can count, you are so lucky!” Li-Fen analyzed to me, and asked me: “Brother, you are in a coma these days, there is a girl called Yi-Fang come to see you Oh, every time you cry a lot to go back, she is a girlfriend?”
Ah… Yvonne, I looked at my mother and saw that she didn’t say anything, just shook her head and sighed, and I said, “Mom, she’s… two years older than me, and we… we…”
“Stop, rest, Yifang told me, I do not oppose your relationship, but you are still young, do not mess around, understand?” Mom said, “We’re going to go back and cook something for you to eat, so take a rest first!”
“Brother, we’re going back oh, sister-in-law is very pretty!” Lifen said jokingly.
“Um, if you… feel… tired, take a break and come back, there are nurses… here, so don’t… worry.” Because of the pain in my body, I stammered a little.
As I watched them leave, I started to pass out again. Maybe only for a little while, I woke up to see Yifang in tears by my bedside, not noticing that I was awake.
“Any more crying and you’ll be an ugly little crow.” I laughed at her. She looks at me a little surprised, and I raise my right hand to wipe her tears, only to see more and more of them.
“Stop crying, I’m not awake, Yifang.” I said with red eyes.
“Stupid! Dumbass! Foolish fool! Stupid!” She seemed to turn into a baby-like teething, could only speak a few words, and kept repeating those words, her voice shaking more and more, and finally she couldn’t pronounce the words correctly, and lay on top of me, crying.
I let her cry… I don’t know how long… I let her cry and free my mind.
“Little… sister… if you… get down… again, my bones… head… will… fall apart.” I said with a smile on my face while enduring the pain.
She realized I was hurt and got up to see if I was okay: “How is it? Does it hurt? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I…” Her eyes met mine and she quieted down. It’s hard to imagine that at such a young age we could communicate with each other!
After that, she came to the hospital every time she got out of class to be with me, chatting with me, feeding me and helping me with my rehab, such a nice girl. Her family also came to see me and privately told me that it was okay to date, but only if it didn’t interfere with my studies. I promised my aunt and uncle because I believe Yifang’s grades have always been very good.
I also used to tell her to use her energy for our sake oh~!
On the day I left the hospital, which happened to be a Sunday, Yvonne came early in the morning to help me take care of everything, and my mother talked and laughed with her, while my sister called her “Sister-in-law” from time to time, which made her want to find a hole in the ground, and I laughed as if I hadn’t heard her. When we arrived at my house, it was almost noon, so we had lunch together… “Yes, mom’s cooking is still good, it smells like home!” I said happily.
“Brother, from now on, your sister-in-law will be the head of the family, and the family will…” Before Li-Fen could finish her sentence, Yi-Fang replied, “Of course I will be the head of the family!” It seemed that she was getting used to being addressed as her sister-in-law, so I smiled and continued to eat.
After dinner, Yifang and her mother were washing the dishes, Lifen slipped back to her room, and I was watching the news on TV, when the report said, “There was a gas explosion at No. xxx on xxx Lane, xxx South Road, and two people inside the house are in critical condition, and the police are investigating whether there are any other possible hidden crimes.” …
Huh? Isn’t that Yee Fong’s house? As I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of glass breaking behind me, and when I turned around, I saw that Yvonne was staring intently at the image on the TV, and when I was sure that it was her house, she couldn’t stand the excitement and fainted. I grabbed her to help her to the sofa seat, my mother also jumped over, after understanding the situation, such as Yifang mood stabilized, immediately set off to Yifang her home, and rushed to the hospital.
When I saw that my aunt and uncle were in the intensive care unit, Yifang was in tears, and I could only keep hugging her and patting her on the back, telling her not to be anxious and to have faith in her parents. When she finally felt better, she sat down to rest and waited while I stayed next to Yifang, holding her hand and giving her the only sense of security I could.
Both of Yvonne’s parents were out of danger, but they were still in the ICU, and my mother took care of everything. My only job was to take care of Yvonne, to keep her company, to entertain her… I hope you’ll support me in this endeavor.
