Chapter 208: Uncle Black Bear
"Just now…it didn't hurt. It was just a little numb."
After a long silence, the red flush having faded from her face, Little Xiang Ning raised her head and looked at Xu Tingsheng, saying so softly and hesitantly. Actually, she still didn't understand the situation. This was just an instinctual shyness that stemmed from nature.
In the end, Xu Tingsheng asked, "Just a little numb? Nothing else?"
Little Xiang Ning shook her head, "Nothing."
Xu Tingsheng rolled his eyes, "Then, how did you bee all…drunk-like?"
Little Xiang Ning couldn't understand this as she softly rebutted, "What? There wasn't anything."
This little wifey look, even visually appearing like a weak, pitiful little daughter-in-law candidate who was being reared from young, left Xu Tingsheng not knowing whether he should laugh or cry as he could only force a smile, "Just now, you almost made me think that…"
"Think that what?"
"Was it really just a little numb? Nothing else? Like…Might you be feeling like you need to change your clothes….like, your pants or whatnot?"
Xu Tingsheng having suddenly said so, Little Xiang Ning felt even more unprehending as she opened her eyes wide, asking in puzzlement, "There really wasn't anything! Why would I have to change my clothes or my pants?"
Dirty and impure thoughts might still be fine usually, but they would be exposed so glaringly as soon as they met with purity and goodness.
"Nah, it's nothing," Uncle said bitterly.
"But it was really strange. Also, it felt very fortable. How about…I tell you about it?" At first, it was like this. My heart tensed a little. But it didn't hurt! Then, it began to go all itchy, and itchy…"
There were clearly just the two of them in the vast classroom. Yet, Xiang Ning spoke secretively as she leaned over, whispering into Xu Tingsheng's ear.
But there was no one who would speak of such affairs in such a pure manner. The impure Uncle was unable to continue listening any longer. He scooted back, saying, "Don't! I'm not listening."
"What's up with you?"
Her excitement still yet to fade, Little Xiang Ning leaned forward a little more. In the end, she leaned too far forward…
"Woah!"
She toppled right off the tall stool.
Xu Tingsheng hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.
With this, he grabbed onto the wide collar of her taekwondo uniform. This wasn't actually anything much. More crucially was that he accidentally caught the collar of the shirt that she was wearing as well.
Xu Tingsheng grabbed onto two layers of collars, while Little Xiang Ning half-dangled there as she was caught.
"What…is this? Just a piece of cloth? But it's very clear. The development is just like this; there's no improvement at all. It looks like there's nothing more I should be expecting for this in this life."
Little Xiang Ning was rendered dazed for a while.
"Hey, you're still looking? Dirty ruffian!" She reactively rebuked.
"It's not like there's anything to be seen," Xu Tingsheng smiled relaxedly as he replied.
Just two years later, one would easily see women wearing clothes that revealed as much as that out on the streets. It really wasn't serious at all. Moreover, there indeed wasn't much to be seen.
Little Xiang Ning forcefully wrenched off Uncle's 'demonic claw', pulling her clothes back into proper position as she hugged her chest protectively.
"But you still looked…so Uncle was actually this type of person."
Due to Xu Tingsheng's relaxed attitude, for an incident that should have actually been extremely major, Little Xiang Ning didn't see the problem as being too serious as she just felt like she had suffered a loss…whilst also feeling a little unresigned.
"I was just reminiscing," Xu Tingsheng murmured softly before saying, "Actually, there's really nothing much at all to be seen there.
"Really? Why?" Little Xiang Ning felt rather despondent.
She was still asking why? Uncle wondered about how he could explain it to Little Xiang Ning in a more tactful manner.
He pondered for a while before asking, "Have you studied ? 'The sound of one sigh after another, as Mulan weaves at the doorway'…"
"Yep," Little Xiang Ning nodded.
"Have you ever wondered about this before then? Why was it that although Mulan was a girl and pretended to be a man in the army for so long, no one ever discovered that she was really female?"
Little Xiang Ning shook her head.
"The answer is actually in the verses."
"In the verses? The teacher never taught us about that before."
"The teacher was keeping the good things to himself! Being truly petent yet unwilling to teach everyone-how is he as good as me? Let's have it this way. You recite all of
