Twisting your ankle in your sleep?
What a niche Chinese phrase!
Su Bai's brain stopped working for a moment.
Only after quite a while did he suddenly realize. "So, Shengsheng, you sleepwalk too..."
"I don't sleepwalk!" Chen Yusheng said, both amused and exasperated. "I was half-asleep, and my foot bumped against the dorm wall. Then this and that happened, and when I woke up, it felt sore..."
Honestly, even though Chen Yusheng had described it in great detail, it was still pretty abstract.
Still, it was enough for Su Bai to understand. After all, he and Shengsheng had always had an incredible natural rapport.
"I've had something similar happen too," Su Bai said. "When I was little, I watched Animal World and thought geckos were amazing. I imagined I was a gecko myself. It was summer and hot, so I'd press myself against the wall while sleeping because it was nice and cool... Then, because I kept lifting my legs and pushing myself up against the wall, my glutes hurt when I woke up."
"What the hell, your glutes..."
Chen Yusheng pictured the scene and covered her mouth as she laughed softly.
She was still quite ladylike when she laughed, with only small movements. Mainly because she usually had such an expressionless face that, even when she was happy, she would not laugh too dramatically.
But to the onlookers around them, it was already extremely dramatic.
When had they ever seen Top Student Chen smile... She only ever did around Su Bai.
What the surrounding students found even harder to accept was this.
Before class started, Chen Yusheng asked Su Bai to massage her foot.
She did not even take off her shoe. She simply rested her black-stockinged calf on Su Bai's thigh and had him knead around her ankle.
