“Wake up. School is over, Big Brother Yan.”
“…Big Brother Yan? I heard from Big Brother Yu that you agreed to play soccer together today.”
A beta student with an armband and a pair of black-framed glasses held a wet mop in one hand. He was the student on duty today, and he had average looks. He tapped the table next to the window in the last row.
It was the seat for poor students.
Sleeping on the table was an alpha student who did not wear his uniform.
Even though the beautiful back of his head was the only thing seen, based on the fact that he broke the rules and did not wear his uniform and how he stretched his long legs that were clad in black, holed jeans out from under his seat, he was wild and definitely not someone to be offended.
In other words, he was a delinquent.
Liu Yuan might be a beta, but he was good at his studies and was loyal. He was the answer to the homework in class, so Yan Qiu and his gang had a pretty good relationship with him.
When someone knocked on his table, Yan Qiu looked up with bleary eyes.
A faint red mark was left behind on his fair cheek because of his sleep, and his eyes were a little red. There was also a layer of moisture in his eyes.
“…Liu Yuan?”
The average-looking beta’s face was familiar yet alien. Yan Qiu narrowed his eyes and was stunned for quite some time before he said his name.
“…What’s wrong, Big Brother Yan?”
When he saw Yan Qiu acting abnormally and saying his name in shock, Liu Yuan acted tentatively as well.
Yan Qiu did not continue with the conversation. He just frowned and sized up the person in front of him.
What’s going on? Isn’t Liu Yuan his classmate from the past?
He was just a little too tired when he was taking care of the toddlers and went to sleep on the couch. Why did he dream of his student days and was laying on his table at the moment he opened his eyes.
Liu Yuan saw that he was stunned, and he tentatively lifted the mop and continued mopping the floor, leaving Yan Qiu alone to scratch his hair in confusion.
The classroom was empty, and there was no one else inside.
Yan Qiu looked outside the window and saw a blurry face reflected on the glass.
“…”
Yan Qiu was really familiar with that face. That was what he looked like in the past.
Yan Qiu’s frown immediately deepened. He wondered whether he was dreaming.
But when he pinched his arm with all his strength, he did not wake up from his dream.
That’s strange. I should be dreaming. Otherwise, it won’t make sense.
Yan Qiu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and he quickly took out his terminal to check the date.
It was more than three years ago.
He remembered that around that time more than three years ago, he was still courting Lin Wei.
Why did he return to the time when he was eighteen years old after just taking a nap?
The situation was too bizarre. From the moment Yan Qiu opened his eyes, he never once stopped frowning.
His immediate thought was to look for Ji Xinglan, but when he opened his contact list, Yan Qiu found out to his dejection that he had not added Ji Xinglan to his contact list yet.
‘What should I do? I wonder if Ji Xinglan has already contacted Lin Wei at this time. Should I go to Lin Wei and ask?’
Just when Yan Qiu was wondering whether he should just climb over the wall and look for Ji Xinglan in the military school next door, the back door of the classroom opened with a bang.
“Boss!” The door slammed against the wall, creating a loud bang, and Xie Yu charged in like he had the wind behind him.

“Who else?” Xie Yu stated loudly, “Those military school students, duh.”
“Which military school students?” Yan Qiu asked with a scowl.
“That Ji Xinglan. Don’t you remember? They stole the soccer team’s thunder!” Xie Yu became angry when he mentioned them. “Ah, it’s so frustrating. Last time, our cheerleaders betrayed us and refused to leave once they saw handsome guys. They actually cheered for our opponents too!”
“…” When he heard those words, Yan Qiu finally remembered that he and Ji Xinglan used to be on bad terms.
Meanwhile, Xie Yu did not know what he was thinking about. He continued running his mouth off. “Boss, don’t you hate them too! Let’s make up for our past humiliation and defeat them!”
……
Yan Qiu stared at a loss at the built upper bodies of the men in front of him in the alpha’s changing room. He looked away because it was impolite for him to stare.
He was already used to being an omega, and when he saw so many people changing, he felt a little shy.
“Boss, hurry up. There are only ten minutes left.”
Xie Yu had already worn his sneakers. When he saw that Yan Qiu was still in a daze, he urged him to hurry up.
With Yan Qiu urging him to hurry up, Yan Qiu turned his back to him and quickly changed into skintight pants before he wore the soccer team uniform.
When he walked out of the changing room, Xie Yu threw an arm over Yan Qiu’s shoulder and seemingly unintentionally teased him. “Boss, you’re acting strange today.”
“…There’s nothing strange about me.”
Yan Qiu stared at Xie Yu warily and forced himself to say this.
Xie Yu usually acted like a fool, but during crucial moments, he was very sharp. Had he managed to figure out something so soon?
Honestly, he was fine with telling Xie Yu about it, but Yan Qiu hesitated a little.
If he told Xie Yu that he transmigrated to the past from three years in the future, Xie Yu would most likely think that he fried his brain.
“That’s strange.” Xie Yu walked to the side of the soccer field with his arm on his shoulder. While they walked, he said, “You always frown when you hear Ji Xinglan’s name. But you sound quite happy today. What’s wrong? Do you like him a little now?”
“…” Yan Qiu had nothing to say about that. He looked up in resignation and suddenly saw a pair of profound eyes.
The young Ji Xinglan was standing at the side of the soccer field and had his hands placed nonchalantly on his hips. His pants hugged his long legs snugly, and he was staring at them.
He could not tell what he was thinking just by his gaze, but at the moment he saw him, Yan Qiu felt that his entire being was drawn into his gaze.
Yan Qiu instinctively threw off Xie Yu’s arm from his shoulder and was worried that Ji Xinglan would be jealous when he saw it.
…Even though the current Ji Xinglan might not be jealous.
However, now that he finally saw him, Yan Qiu naturally walked toward him.
But before he could get closer to him, he suddenly smelled something fragrant, and a girl with a short skirt blocked him.
“Yan Qiu.” The moment Lin Wei saw Yan Qiu, she ran excitedly over to him from the edge of the field.
But just when she wanted to hold his hand, Yan Qiu instinctively avoided her.
“…”
She did not know what Yan Qiu meant by this. Yan Qiu always flattered her in the past, but now, he avoided her when she wanted to hold his hand. Lin Wei looked a little awkward, and she raised her outreached hand to smooth out her hair. Then, she discreetly smoothed her expression.
Yan Qiu did not pay too much attention to her. His full focus was on Ji Xinglan. He was currently in a strange situation, and he did not know whether this was a dream or something else. Right now, the only person who could bring him a sense of safety was Ji Xinglan.
As long as he was around, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Yan Qiu looked past Lin Wei, and he saw Ji Xinglan through his peripheral vision. The guy was also staring at them.
Ji Xinglan did not have much expression on his face. He was so aloof and beautiful that he looked like a statue. He cast them a glance, and as if he sensed that Yan Qiu had noticed him, he quietly looked away.
His attitude caused Yan Qiu to frown.
This might be the worst situation.
He did not react when he saw him together with Lin Wei. The current Ji Xinglan might not know him yet.
……
It had been three years since Yan Qiu played soccer, and he was a little uneasy when he was dragged to the field spontaneously. But the reserve player was not here today, so Yan Qiu did not have a reason to reject going on the field.
After a brief warmup, he went on the field as well, but he could not help staring at Ji Xinglan.
The cheers beside his ears were a little noisy, but most of them were not aimed at them. The faltering cheers were mostly chanting Ji Xinglan’s name, and it caused Yan Qiu’s team to lose morale.
But this also stirred up the alpha’s competitive spirit. They must win today!
Yan Qiu had always been the striker, but it had been three years since he last played, so his skills were a little rusty.
Besides, his mind was on Ji Xinglan, and he could not focus. He was in a complete daze.
After the nth time Ji Xinglan snatched the ball away and he saw that they were going to lose, Yan Qiu grew exasperated, and he was suddenly tripped by something. He lost his balance and fell forward, and in a very embarrassing fashion, he knocked into Ji Xinglan.
Ji Xinglan did not manage to stand properly either. In an instant, both of them fell on the ground. Yan Qiu took Ji Xinglan down while sacrificing himself!
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
“…”
Even though he had a meat cushion under his body, Yan Qiu still saw stars. Blood rushed to his brain, and his vision darkened.
When he got through the shock and gritted his teeth to look up, he found that he was pinning Ji Xinglan.
Yan Qiu did not mind pinning him down for a little longer, but that was not suitable for the current situation, so in a flurry of motion, he tried to get up.
The fall was pretty bad. When Yan Qiu tried to get up, he bared his teeth and hissed. He failed to stand on his feet.
It hurts. I think I sprained my leg.
Meanwhile, two handsome guys were piled on top of each other on the field, and neither got up even after a long time passed. This gay scene immediately caused the audience by the field to scream like hyenas.
“AAAAAAHHHHH!”
Yan Qiu only knew that they had shipper fans. He did not think that they had so many shipper fans.
Ji Xinglan was fine, despite being pinned. He managed to get up before Yan Qiu.
Amid the deafening screeches and the chants for them to get married and kiss, Yan Qiu’s ears turned red. Ji Xinglan helped him up. He had his arm flung across Ji Xinglan’s shoulder as they moved to the side of the field so that his wound could be checked.
Fortunately, alphas did not blush easily. Aside from Ji Xinglan, no one else noticed that his ears had turned red.
“No fracture.” Ji Xinglan knelt in front of him and helped him check his leg.
Ji Xinglan rolled his pant leg up and held his foot.
Yan Qiu sensed Ji Xinglan’s hand touching his ankle gently. He also seemingly unintentionally squeezed his calf. A strange flush dyed his ears red.
Yan Qiu bowed his head and stared at Ji Xinglan. He did not do anything else and just focused on checking the injury on his ankle.
When he saw how serious Ji Xinglan was, Yan Qiu found it strange.
Why had he never noticed in the past that Ji Xinglan was so kind and could take care of someone so well?
When she noticed the small incident in the field, Lin Wei quickly crossed half of the field and ran over. She stood by Yan Qiu’s side and asked about his wellbeing. Her finely drawn eyebrows scrunched together as she stared at Yan Qiu’s ankle. Tears welled up in her eyes, almost spilling out.
“Does it hurt?” she asked with a quivering voice, as if her heart was aching badly for him.
In the past, a straight boy like Yan Qiu would definitely be touched by her pitiful act, but now, Yan Qiu nearly snickered.
‘Hahahahaha Lin Wei is so good at acting!’
Ji Xinglan was still squatting on the ground and listening to them. After he pulled Yan Qiu’s pant leg down, he stood up.
Yan Qiu observed him discreetly, but he still did not notice anything unusual on his face.
But at this moment, the young and vigorous Ji Xinglan was at the age where he was at his most brilliant. His facial features were young and beautiful, and his eyes were pure. Even if he was aloof, there was a hint of indifference and pride still tugged at Yan Qiu’s heartstrings.
He heard that boys at the age of eighteen were tougher than diamonds when they were erect. He wondered whether it was true.
In any case, he was dreaming. Why shouldn’t he enjoy it?
When he thought of that, Yan Qiu immediately became excited. The Ji Xinglan at this point in time could not hope to win against him, so he could only be toyed around in Yan Qiu’s hands.
Hence, Yan Qiu shamelessly started trying to pull Ji Xinglan into a trap. He tugged Ji Xinglan’s sleeve and gave him a harmless smile.
“Wait, Young Master Ji. Why don’t we add each other to our terminals?”
……
Just as he wanted, Yan Qiu successfully added Ji Xinglan to his contact list.
Then, Xie Yu pulled them apart, and he reluctantly had Xie Yu carry him back to the dorm.
Honestly, Yan Qiu wanted to follow Ji Xinglan back, but now was not the time.
Before they parted ways, Yan Qiu turned his head around to cast a glance at Ji Xinglan, and he noticed that he was still standing there. He even looked a little lonely.
……
Xie Yu helped Yan Qiu apply some medicine in the dorm. Then, he sat on the bed and peeled an apple while he grumbled, “Why do I feel like Ji Xinglan is weird?”
“Everyone is weird to you.” Yan Qiu shook his head and moved a chair to sit beside the window. When he saw that Ji Xinglan had already accepted his friend request, he felt giddy and sent a few messages to him.
[Yan Qiu: Good day, Young Master Ji.]
[Ji Xinglan: Hello.]
[Yan Qiu: You injured me today. Are you going to give me compensation?]
Yan Qiu was just thinking about teasing him, but Ji Xinglan said nothing else. Yan Qiu felt that he also sounded a little too flirtatious, and to avoid feeling awkward, he put his terminal by the side before he sank into deep thought.
The current Ji Xinglan did not know him yet. He wondered whether he should be happy or disappointed.
Based on what Ji Xinglan said, he had loved him for a long time.
Then, if Yan Qiu acted according to what had originally happened and kissed him after he got drunk, he could even naturally get together…
That was the eighteen-year-old Ji Xinglan, the person he had been longing for for a long time.
He got excited just by thinking about it.
The current Ji Xinglan had yet to grow into an experienced member of society. He was prideful, beautiful, and a little young as well as innocent. Yan Qiu might be able to top him as an alpha right now.
With that thought in mind, Yan Qiu felt ecstatic and started grinning at the window.
Under the window, the crowd returned to the school building or the dorms after dinner. Yan Qiu could sense a gaze on him. Then, a familiar figure moved swiftly in the crowd.
But when he wanted to look for the person, he could not find them.
‘Guess I was just imagining things.’ Yan Qiu thought.
The current Ji Xinglan shouldn’t have fallen in love with him yet, much less do something like peek at him outside the window.
The terminal on the table let out a beep. While Yan Qiu picked up a toothpick and inserted it into a slice of apple from Xie Yu’s plate, he picked up the terminal.
On the screen was Ji Xinglan’s reply. There were only two short and firm sentences.
[Sure.]
[Come find me in the alley behind Night Pub.]
Mogumoguchan: The next few chapters are going to be a What If situation.
lolimelon: why do i feel like JXL isn’t the one from the past and is actually like YQ?
I also think JXL is in the same state as YQ! Interesting. Thanks for the chapter.
I also think that JXL is from the future and trying hard to get YQ back… And I was wondering if it was a situation where YQ went back in time and want to make XJL fall in love with him and that’s why main plot was done XD
Thank You for the new chapter ( ꈍᴗꈍ)❤️
Thanks for the chapter
I like the way he’s thinking: if it’s a dream anyway, might as well go for it, and if it’s not, then he already knows they’re going to like each other. It would be funny to see Xie Yu’s reaction to finding out one of those military school young masters will be his boyfriend in a few years!
??!!!
Saw one story where the author ended the story as everything was just a dream of the MC. I panicked for a sec. 😂
Thank you for the chapter! ❤
Are you joking me right now??? I am panicking….
