Chapter 54: I Want to Eat You Alive
Translator: Editor:
Yang Ming, what are you thinking about? You opened your mouth like a crocodile! Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming who put his chin on the desk. It looked a bit funny.
Salivating? Did I?Yang Ming looked up. He was experimenting with his special ability during class so his brain had overheated. He was planning to rest between classes but then a beautiful lady looked at him so how could he not be bothered by it? Yang Ming laughed and said, Yes, I wanted to eat you alive!
Chinese is really broad and profound. Sometimes in a sentence, even one word could have different meanings. It is only in Chinese that you can find such a freaking difficultchallenge.
Yang Mingscurrent sentence, I wanted to eat you alive had these different meanings:
Im hungry, I want to swallow you into my stomach. This was the original meaning. This situation usually happened between two different level animals. For example, a tiger spoke to a goat,I want to eat you alive.
Even though Im hungry, I hate you. I wanted to eat you to relieve my hatred! This wasanextended meaning. This situation usually happened between two enemies. For example, two people were fighting and one said,I cant wait to eat you alive!
I want to f*** you. This was the modern meaning and a popular meaning too. This was the most frequently used. This situation usually happened with couples who are engaged in foreplay with each other. The guy saw the girls horny look so then he would want to f*** her. However, its difficult to say out loud so the guy says, I want to eat you. Or the girl who was really in love and wanted to give everything to him. However, shes embarrassed to say it out loud, so she could only say, You can eat me!
The third situation was the most common whether it be on the internet or in reality. It was used widely. For example, in B citys hotel, Zhao Yanying was in love with Liu Lei, so she said to him, You can eat me now! [1]
In the current situation, when Yang Ming said, I wanted to eat you alive, how could Chen Mengyan not be dirty minded? Their relationship was originally ambiguous, so it was easy to think this way.
Therefore, Chen Mengyan blushed and said, What are you thinking?
What did I think? Yang Ming was puzzled by Chen Mengyans twisted face.What did I think? Is it that you can look into my mind now? Is it possible that the world was crazy? Are people with special abilities everywhere?
Heh! A filthy mouth cannot utter any decent language. You always try to take advantage of me! Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. It seemed like she wasnt happy about his action.
Yang Ming was shocked and shook his head. He only realized now,My sentence was ambiguous! But I swear, I didnt have a filthy thought at that moment. I just spoke it naturally!There was no way Yang Ming could explain so he could only laugh to cover it up.
Luckily, Chen Mengyan didnt want to argue with Yang Ming on such a topic. She knew if she kept going, then she would be following Yang Mings lead.
I have looked at you test paper. Not bad, Yang Ming. Did you do it on your own? Chen Mengyan put the gradedtest paper on the desk.
You dont trust me? Yang Ming was unhappy about the question.
No, I didnt mean that! Chen Mengyan suddenly realized her sentence hurt his pride, so she explained promptly.
Hehe, just now I didnt mean it too. Yang Ming was referring to the I wanted to eat you alive incident.
Ah? Chen Mengyan didnt understand.
Its ok. How was it? Were my efforts effective? Yang Ming didnt want to continue on such a topic either.
En, not bad, Yang Ming. You really surprised me that you can remember so much in such a short time! Chen Mengyan admired him. If it was me, it would be impossible for me to pick it up because its been too long ago!
Hehe, dont you know who I am? Yang Ming left out one sentence and that was:I have specs but you dont!
Enough already. Dont be too arrogant. Why didnt you finish these word problems? Chen Mengyan pointed at the complex questions at the end of the paper.
I dont know how to do them. Yang Ming told the truth. I can memorize the basic concepts but it doesnt work for complex questions. There were many conditions in a word problem, so its not easy to apply a formula to it!
Chen Mengyan alsoagreed withYang Ming. Solving comprehensive questions required many experiences and mastery in comprehension. As for Yang Mings speed, he was really goodsincehe could learn so much in such a short time!
Let me explain to you the problem-solving ideas of these questions and theimportant detailsto earn points! When you are taking an exam, you can write something even if you dont know how to solve it. This word problem has partial credit. For example, this question about electric fields, if you listed out the basic formula I=Q/t, then you will get two points! Chen Mengyan talked as she wrote on the paper. Furthermore, a comprehensive question usually consists of a few smaller questions. For example, the question was asking how much electricity it is, then you can change the formula from I=Q/t to Q=It. If you substitute the number, you can easily get the answer. The question is fifteen points in total; you can get five points for the first part!
Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan patiently teaching him and he was really touched!Such a kind-hearted girl! If she could be my girlfriend, that would be the blessings accumulated from my past life!
Exams were like a battlefieldin this decade. Who would sacrifice their own time to do reviews for others? In addition, they were teaching fromtheirown experiences. If the otherslearned all this, they would become new rivals. There werent many people who were willing to do such a stupid thing.
At the same time, Yang Ming was sweating. These comprehensive questions he really thought that he couldnt figure them out, so he never looked at them. But he never knew the answer was so simple.
Although Yang Ming still didnt understand some questions, he listened carefully. He didnt want to waste Chen Mengyans hard work. It didnt matter if Chen Mengyan was feeling good about him or not because Yang Ming was satisfied with what he currently had.
However, there must be someone who wanted to destroy such a harmonious moment.
