PEAK_BODY_START
It was time for P.E. class again. This time the training was jump rope. Just like before, except this time, Lika took the initiative to approach Suchen, wanting to be his partner.
Lika asked a little shyly, "Um... Suchen, would you be willing to team up with this young lady for this rope-skipping training?"
Suchen replied, "Sure, I was planning to ask you anyway."
Suchen held the jump rope and stood face-to-face with Lika. Lika's cheeks were slightly flushed as she lowered her head to look at Suchen's chest, her little hands crossed tightly in front of her.
Because they were standing so close, the warm breath from Suchen gently brushed against Lika's hair, sending a strange sensation all through Lika's body.
Lika looked up, her cheeks rosy, her lips slightly parted. "Th... this young lady is a little nervous... You'd better hold the rope properly... This is a partner exercise after all..."
Suchen said, "Don't worry, absolutely no problem."
Lika held the jump rope with both hands and took a slight step back to increase the distance between them. "Are you ready? We're starting now!" She raised one foot and gently stepped on the rope.
Suchen said, "I'm ready."
Lika swung the rope hard with both hands, making it spin rapidly, then hopped up lightly and cleared the rope smoothly. "Hurry up and jump, idiot!"
Suchen jumped up quickly and cleared the rope smoothly.
Lika put her hands on her hips and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad! As expected of someone chosen by this young lady! Haha, I didn't expect you to coordinate with me so well. Although I was a little nervous at first, it's still a lot of fun jumping rope with you."
Suchen said, "As expected of Lady Lika."
Lika raised her head and gave a light snort. "Hmph... Of course! Look who this young lady is!"
Suchen couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he held it in and said, "Let's continue training."
Lika resumed swinging the jump rope, jumping rhythmically one beat at a time. Suddenly, the rope went crooked and whipped against Suchen's arm.
Suchen hissed, "Ow, that hurts!"
Lika stopped jumping, walked over to Suchen, looked at him with concern, and reached out with her fair little hand to gently rub the spot where he had been struck. "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
Lika lowered her hand, turned around, and muttered softly, "It hurt that much and yet he said he was fine, what a complete idiot!"
Suchen asked, "What did you say?"
Lika turned back around and said, "This young lady didn't say anything, you heard wrong!" She turned back and started swinging the rope again, jumping rhythmically one jump at a time.
The two continued their training. After jumping for a while, Lika suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Suchen. "Let's take a break! This young lady is tired!"
Suchen said, "Alright. Do you need me to help wipe your sweat?"
Lika was taken aback for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face. Lowering her head, she gently twirled a stray lock of hair behind her ear and said, "N... no need! I can do it myself!"
Suchen handed over a bottle of water. Lika took the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. "Thanks!" With a sweet smile on her face, she watched Suchen drink.
Lika handed the water back to Suchen. "Here, you have some too!" With a faint blush on her face and expectation in her eyes, he took the water and drank a sip.
Lika asked, "Well? Is it good?"
Suchen said, "It's good. Mineral water is normally tasteless, but I didn't expect it to taste so good after you drank from it."
Lika was stunned once more. "I... is that so... I didn't think there was any difference..."Suchen: "Maybe it's because you have a sweet mouth."
Lika: "A sweet mouth? Are you saying this young lady's mouth is sweet?"
Suchen: "Yes."
Pouting, Lika said, "You... you guy, how can you be so blunt!"
Suchen: "Can I have a taste?"
Lika: "A... a taste of what?" Her eyes darted away, not daring to look him in the eye.
Suchen: "A taste of your mouth." He reached out to touch Lika's lips, and Lika, blushing, took a step back. "What... what are you doing!" She tightly covered her mouth with both hands.
Suchen: "Hey, don't be like that. At the cafe, we kissed, and later we held each other and slept together too. Isn't this normal?"
Lika's blush deepened even more, and her voice stammered, "You... you... stop talking nonsense!" Her eyes flicked away, unable to meet his gaze.
Suchen seemed to feel he had gone too far, so he said, "Alright, alright, calm down, we have training in a moment."
Lika calmed herself down and raised her head. "Fine, I forgive you." A haughty smile appeared on her face.
Suchen: "Mhm, thank you for your magnanimity."
The two continued their training. After resting for a bit to recover her stamina, Lika resumed training, jumping rhythmically one by one. But just then, two uninvited guests arrived: Elena and Fanlin. Last time they came one by one, but this time they came together.
Lika stopped jumping rope, turned around, and a look of disgust appeared on her face. "Why is it you two again?! And this time you're coming together, huh?!"
Elena, holding a camera, said, "We're here to take a few pictures."
Lika glared at Elena. "Why on earth should this young lady cooperate with your photos?!"
Elena smiled maliciously. "We're planning to post this photo on the school forum, with the title: 'Miss Lika and Her Little Lackey'."
A flush of angry red appeared on Lika's face. Clenching her fists, she said through gritted teeth, "Don't you dare!"
Fanlin chimed in, "Oh my, who could this be? Isn't this the school heartthrob Suchen? Why are you together with Miss Lika?"
Hearing this, Lika became even angrier. She rushed right over and snatched the camera out of Elena's hand. "Delete the photos!"
Suchen: "You guys came here looking for trouble on purpose, didn't you?"
Lika glared fiercely at Elena and Fanlin. "This young lady warns you, if you dare to post the photos online, this young lady will definitely not let you off!"
Suchen: "Here, give me the camera."
Lika handed the camera to Suchen. "Here! Let's see how you handle this, young lady style—I mean, I want to see how you deal with it!" *(Self-correction: Lika just says)* "Take it! Let's see how you handle it!"
Suchen directly smashed the camera to the ground. Lika was momentarily stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face. "You... you actually smashed it?!"
Suchen stepped on it with his foot, took out the memory card, and put it in his pocket. Watching Suchen's actions in some surprise, Lika walked up to him and gently patted his shoulder. "Well done!"
Fanlin was almost fuming with rage. Lika looked on triumphantly. "How's that? Scared now, aren't you?"
Elena stammered, "Us... using violence is wrong. We'll use our actual strength." With her hands on her hips, she looked at Elena with a look of disdain— *(Wait, Lika looks at Elena)*: Lika put her hands on her hips, looking at them with utter disdain, "Just based on you two? This young lady isn't scared at all!"
Fanlin recovered and challenged, "Do you dare have a jump rope competition with us?"
Lika glared at Fanlin. "A competition it is! Who's afraid of whom!"
Suchen: "Come on, Lika, let's defeat these two together."
Lika and Suchen showed seamless teamwork, jumping continuously several times in a row. In the end, Fanlin and Elena lost, their faces full of unconvinced resentment as they slunk away in defeat.
