This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 232 Give Me Some Air, Sister Wanyin
Push the bicycle out of the school gate.

Chen Shi'an first straddled the bicycle, then took off the backpack behind him and hung it upside down in front of him.

The cat that had been perched on his shoulder got lazy and jumped onto his lap. It pawed at the backpack zipper to open it, then slithered inside, only its head peeking out from the zipper gap.

"Is Wanyin's bag convenient to carry? If not, I can carry it with you."

"It's okay~"

"I'll give it to you."

Seeing Chen Shi'an say this, Li Wanyin took off the small bag she was carrying on her shoulder and handed it to him.

While others carry backpacks on one shoulder, Chen Shi'an slung one across his chest, carrying two bags and a cat on his body – truly a typical laborer.

Li Wanyin found it amusing: "Will it be very heavy? Won't it affect your cycling?"

"It's alright, Sister Wanyin, please get in the car."

"it is good……"

Li Wanyin is wearing a skirt today.

Wearing a skirt makes it less convenient to sit upright on a bicycle like before.

Even though she was wearing leggings, it was... really unattractive!
With no other option, the older sister had to sit sideways on the back of the bicycle.

She gathered the hem of her skirt with her fingertips and pressed it down, her white low-cut leather shoes resting lightly on a footstool.

The moment the skirt was pulled up, a small section of her smooth, white calves was revealed, almost glowing in the early winter sunlight.

My heart started racing for no reason.

She carefully raised her arms and gently wrapped them around Chen Shi'an's waist.

A faint blush rose to her pretty face as she discreetly observed Chen Shi'an's reaction to such intimate actions.

Seeing that he did not stop her at all, she seemed unable to resist some kind of attraction, and her arms gradually tightened, pressing the fabric of his school uniform tightly against his waistline.

The touch perfectly matched all her fantasies about a boy's waist.

Li Wanyin's fair little hand gently grasped his school uniform, and her body involuntarily pressed against his back, her fresh and clean scent lingering around her nose.

Feeling his unique scent, she couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks flushing even more, completely unaware that her arms were tightening around him...

"Sister Wanyin."

"……What's the matter?"

"Give me some air, Sister Wanyin, I'm about to choke you so much I can't breathe."

"...!!"

As soon as Chen Shi'an finished speaking, his sister's face turned even redder.

Fortunately, Chen Shi'an couldn't see it, so Li Wanyin quickly relaxed the strength in her arm.

"Is this okay?"

"Hmm, Sister Wanyin, are you seated securely?"

"Sit tight."

"Okay, let's go."

As the bicycle started moving, a breeze blew in front of her face, just enough to cool her cheeks.

Her soft hair fluttered in the breeze along her profile, and she used one hand to tuck the strands behind her ear.

"Shi'an, what do you want to eat for lunch? Anything is fine; you did so well on the test, so I'm giving you a reward~"

"Thank you, Sister Wanyin. Let me think about it."

Chen Shi'an started to think; it was lunchtime.

He couldn't say exactly what he wanted to eat, so he followed the faint aroma of food in the air, then caught a whiff of noodles, and rode in that direction until he arrived at a small noodle shop with an ordinary-looking storefront.

"Sister Wanyin, how about we have noodles here for lunch? This place seems pretty good."

"Okay, Shi'an, have you eaten here before?"

"Nope."

"And how do you know it tastes good?"

"If you can tell by smell, as long as it doesn't smell off like durian or stinky tofu, it's definitely true."

Li Wanyin laughed as she listened: "Then I'll trust you this once and we'll try it together to see if it's good."

Two months ago, Chen Shi'an couldn't ride a bicycle, but now he's a skilled cyclist who's completely at ease with his bike.

He skillfully rode his bicycle with Li Wanyin on the back, steadily riding up the curb and stopping in front of the shop.

The older sister, still lingering on the boy's waist, reluctantly let go and got off the back seat of his car.

The two walked into the small noodle shop together. The decor was unassuming, with long wooden chairs, old wooden tables, and yellowed white walls, but there were quite a few customers inside.

It looks like a small family-run shop.

The husband was kneading and making noodles, the wife was cooking noodle soup, the grandmother was helping with packaging, the grandfather was helping with serving noodles, and there was also a little girl who looked like a junior high school student, who was busy serving customers and helping to record orders.

Li Wanyin likes to eat in restaurants like this; she always feels a strong sense of community.

As the siblings walked in, the little sister came to greet them.

"Sister, are you two eating noodles?"

"Hmm, are there any seats left?"

"Yes, is it alright to sit outside?"

“Sure,” Chen Shi’an replied.

"Grandpa! Set up a table outside—"

The little girl called out to the inside, and then the old man brought out a classic yellow folding table, placed it in the shade at the shop entrance, and unfolded it.

The little girl also helped by bringing out two red plastic chairs and handing over the menu.

"What would you like to eat, older brothers and sisters?"

The shop mainly serves Shanxi-style knife-cut noodles. Li Wanyin and Chen Shi'an looked around and ordered two different flavors: the classic tomato and egg and the fried sauce noodles.

"Little sister, what grade are you in? That's amazing!" Li Wanyin said with a smile.

"In seventh grade, I was earning pocket money."

"Really!"

As they were talking, the little girl had already quickly written down the order on the order form, then turned around and ran into the steamy back room to place the order.

Chen Shi'an and Li Wanyin sat in front of the shop. The cat in the backpack popped out, jumped to the ground, and stretched. The warm afternoon sun of early winter shone in the shade. Li Wanyin straightened her skirt and sat upright, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Chen Shi'an again.

This brat can't even sit still while eating. He's run back into the shop now, talking to the owner and trying to learn how to make noodles.

Soon, the noodles for the two were ready.

Chen Shi'an didn't bother the shopkeeper to bring him the noodles; he carried out two steaming bowls of noodles himself.

"Here you go, Sister Wanyin, with your tomato and egg sauce."

The two steaming bowls of knife-cut noodles were generously portioned. One bowl was topped with a bright red and fragrant tomato and egg sauce, with a rich broth. The other bowl had a savory fried sauce, with a thick layer of glistening minced meat, garnished with bright green scallions and cucumber shreds. Both bowls of noodles smelled delicious.

"Wow, it smells so good! It looks so appetizing! Shi'an, your nose is so sensitive, you could really smell the aroma from that far away?"

Li Wanyin's eyes lit up. She picked up the chopsticks on the table, broke them apart, and handed a pair to Chen Shi'an.

"Hehe, I'll give it a try. The boss's skills seem pretty good, and he looks like he's from western Shanxi, but I don't know if he's authentic."

"Shi'an, have you ever eaten authentic knife-cut noodles?"

"No ah."

"Then how do you know if it's authentic or not?"

"If it tastes good, it's authentic."

Haha, that's true~

The siblings were hungry, so they didn't stand on ceremony and started eating as soon as they picked up their chopsticks.

Li Wanyin picked up the noodles from her bowl, blew on them, tossed her hair with one hand, and put the noodles from her chopsticks into her mouth with the other.

The sweet and sour tomato sauce coated the chewy noodles and melted in her mouth; she squinted her eyes contentedly.
"Mmm! It really tastes good! Shi'an, you really found something good. It's not far from our house, so we can come over and eat there next time we have time."

"It's really not bad."

Chen Shi'an was also eating his own bowl of noodles. The aroma of soy sauce, meat, and noodles blended together, making it savory and delicious. A bowl of noodles like this was truly comforting when you were hungry.

"When I have time next time, I'll make one for Sister Wanyin to try too."

"Huh? You've already stolen the master's skills so quickly?"

"I learned about 50% when I was watching, and then I guessed about 50% when I was eating, so that's pretty much it."

"I think it would taste even better if you made it!"

"You flatter me, Sister Wanyin."

Chen Shi'an smiled at her, "Wanyin, would you mind if I tried your tomato and egg sauce?"

"I've already eaten... How about I order you another one?"

Hearing Chen Shi'an's intimate words, Li Wanyin was both surprised and delighted, but in the end she couldn't bear to let him eat what she had eaten.

"What's the big deal? Shall I take it?"

"Mmm, Shi'an, you can sit here. I haven't touched this side yet..."

He insisted on trying it, and what could his sister do but push her own bowl over?

Chen Shi'an picked up a piece with his chopsticks and tasted it without hesitation, nodding in satisfaction as well.

"Okay, now I can make the tomato and egg sauce flavor too."

"Hahaha……"

"Wanyin, would you like to try my noodles with fried sauce?"

"it is good!"

Just as Li Wanyin was about to speak, Chen Shi'an's question was exactly what she wanted to hear. She also reached out her chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of noodles from Chen Shi'an's bowl.

"Mmm! Your braised sauce tastes even better!"

"If Sister Wanyin likes it, then eat more."

"That's enough, that's enough, you won't have enough to eat later..."

"Meow?"

The black cat, which was sitting on the ground, stared at the two of them. Only now did Fei Mo finally let out a meow.

It also said it wanted to see how long it would take those two to notice the hungry kitten, but when it kept quiet, they completely ignored it! That's outrageous!

"Ah! Shimo, you want to eat too..."

"It's so quiet today, I thought you were trying to lose weight, Fatty."

Shi Mo: "..."

Eat your fill and then start losing weight!
……

Midday sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the two people and the cat sitting at the small table.

After finishing two generous bowls of noodles, a warm feeling slowly spread through my body.

Li Wanyin got up to pay the bill, and on her way out, she also stopped by the convenience store next door to buy two bottles of mineral water so she could drink them on the way.

Chen Shi'an then opened the map navigation and searched for the route to the ancient town in the north of the city by bicycle.

The ride time is estimated to be over two hours...

Of course, it won't take him that long.

On the contrary, Li Wanyin was a little scared. Even if she didn't have to ride the bike, just sitting on the back seat for so long would probably make her butt numb by the time she got there.
"Don't worry, Wanyin, I ride a bike very steadily. I guarantee you'll be comfortable sitting in the back."

"If you get tired of riding, I'll give you a ride."

"Okay, Sister Wanyin, please get in the car."

Chen Shi'an hung the two backpacks back on in front of him and took out his phone to fix it to the front bracket of the car.

Li Wanyin sat back in the back seat of his car, wrapping her arms around his waist as before.

Sunlight shone on her profile as she gently rested her head against Chen Shi'an's back.

"Set off--"

As Chen Shi'an's voice fell, Li Wanyin could clearly feel the slight vibration in his chest and back.

The two were so close.

Realizing this fact, Li Wanyin couldn't help but close her eyes, feeling an indescribable sweetness and happiness in her heart.

She suddenly thought, "If only the ride could go on for a longer time..."
