(T/N: This chapter is going to be very funny kekeke, 
)
“Chu… Shuangshuang?” Qi Feng called out the girl standing next to Xu Junzhu in astonishment.
Compared with Xu Junzhu, who had her hair permed, colorful nails, and black silk in cold weather, Chu Shuangshuang’s dress looked much more casual and comfortable, with a sweater and jeans, and a short windbreaker.
However, when the latter saw Qi Feng, she was obviously a little surprised as if she hadn’t been told in advance that the person she wanted to meet was this guy.
Xu Junzhu stood on the side, a sly smile flashed across the corner of her lips.
Qi Feng suddenly nodded his head. The night before departure, he was lying in bed. He had a foreboding that Xu Junzhu’s character might not be so easy to pass, but at that time, he only thought that the noisier Xu Junzhu was, the more he could promote the relationship between him and Ling Ke. He was dazzled by this joy at that time, but did not expect that the other party would bring another person.
It was not that Chu Shuangshuang was here, so he and Ling Ke couldn’t act like a couple, but Chu Shuangshuang was a very smart girl with a very high double quotient.
In the first year of high school, Qi Feng and the other student representative who had been selected together as German-speaking students went to a high school in Singapore to exchange visits. The two had a lot of similarities and shared many topics. They established a deep friendship on the way.
However, after returning from Singapore, Qi Feng noticed that Chu Shuangshuang’s attitude towards him was a bit off the line.
As a heartthrob, Qi Feng didn’t know his charm, but he was still very principled in emotion, so he kept a little distance from the other party.
Chu Shuangshuang was also very keen. After receiving this signal, she returned to her original position calmly.
Because of this “smartness”, the other party was still one of Qi Feng’s few female friends.
It was only afterward that Qi Feng decided to take the college entrance examination and stayed closed for a year without much communication with the outside world. After graduating from high school, Chu Shuangshuang went to the United States again. Like all Qi Feng’s high school classmates, the relationship between the two became not far and close.
If only dealing with Xu Junzhu alone today, Qi Feng had no psychological burden. After all, he really wanted to use Ling Ke to get rid of Xu Junzhu’s thoughts about himself.
But if he were to act like a couple in front of Chu Shuangshuang, Qi Feng was a little bit sad, and also faintly worried about what the other party would see.
But this was not the most fundamental problem, because… Xu Junzhu and Chu Shuangshuang’s friendship was very average.
Although Chu Shuangshuang was in the same school as them in junior high school, at first, they were not in the same class. Later, in high school, the three of them entered the US class together. One year later, Xu Junzhu went to the UK and did not contact their high school classmates for two or three years.
Therefore, the scene of the two people appearing together made Qi Feng feel very inexplicable, but Qi Feng didn’t ask much about the friendship between the girls.
Qi Feng’s brain was spinning fast here, and Chu Shuangshuang had opened her arms and greeted him in an American style.
“Qi Feng, it’s been a long time since I saw you,” compared with Xu Junzhu, who was overjoyed, Chu Shuangshuang’s superficial skills were much better, and she had calmed down from the shock.
Qi Feng hugged her naturally and asked, “Did you come back from the United States for Christmas?”
“Well, I just came back a few days ago,” Chu Shuangshuang didn’t like to post her news on social networks as much as Xu Junzhu, so her whereabouts seemed a bit mysterious.
“She is my middle and high school classmate,” Qi Feng briefly explained to Ling Ke.

Chu Shuangshuang stretched out her hand towards Ling Ke and said politely, “What’s the name of this handsome guy?”
“Olcu Bf,” Olcu Bf gfqbgafv j cjwf jcv rtbbx tjcvr klat tfg, “tfiib.”

Ling Ke: “???”
Qi Feng: “…”
Xu Junzhu changed the subject uncomfortably, “Okay, well, let’s not stand outside, let’s go eat first!”
It was freezing cold, so the two girls chose a Hong Kong-style hot pot restaurant for hot pot.
Four people sat at a table by the window, the seat was a long leather seat, there was no gap between the two.
Since Qi Feng and Ling were lovers, they were naturally sitting on the same side.
After the dishes and drinks were served, Xu Junzhu coughed lightly and said, “Today, I will treat all of you, so don’t compete to grab the pill with me!”
Chu Shuangshuang smiled and asked, “So generous? What good thing has happened?”
Xu Junzhu sneered, “It’s not any good thing, I’m just here to apologize.”
Chu Shuangshuang wondered, “What for?”
Xu Junzhu glanced at Qi Feng and Ling Ke, and said frankly, “Sigh, because I passionate again…”
Qi Feng & Ling Ke & Chu Shuangshuang: “…”
Xu Junzhu: “On Christmas Eve, I went to F University to find Qi Feng and wanted to give him a surprise, but his boyfriend ran to show off his affection in front of me. I was so angry that I left on an impulse, and later posted that post in my newsfeed. I thought about it for the past two days, and I felt a little shameless, so I planned to ask them out for a meal.”
“It turned out to be like this,” Chu Shuangshuang nodded thoughtfully, and asked Xu Junzhu again, “then why didn’t you say tell me in advance when you called me out? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for me, an outsider, to blend in here?”
Xu Junzhu yelled at Chu Shuangshuang, “Aiya, if I come alone, how will I face them and apologize to them? I would’ve been like a lightbulb flying in between a couple of fireflies? Also, I have to watch a movie later, so with me alone as the lightbulb, it is embarrassing. But since you are here, everything is normal. You should accompany me. And for you, wouldn’t it be a good thing to eat for free and watch for free?”
Chu Shuangshuang smiled helplessly and did not comment.
Qi Feng laughed dryly after listening to them talking, and said to Xu Junzhu, “Hehe, it’s not that exaggerated, don’t take this little thing to heart.”
Xu Junzhu rolled her eyes at him, raised her glass, and said, “Who said I only care about you?” after that, she faced Ling Ke and smiled, “Ling Ke, come and have a cup.”
Ling Ke: “…”
Xu Junzhu took a sip of his drink and said to him, “Now, on Christmas Eve, I was wrong. I really didn’t know that Qi Feng was dating you. I haven’t seen him for many years. When I came back, I happened to ran into him singing and talking those heartwarming things on the stage, so my mood was ups and downs. However, I didn’t mean to be crooked…”
Ling Ke felt a little guilty when the other party said so.
He was also in the wrong. He shouldn’t go up to kiss Qi Feng indiscriminately like that…
“It’s okay, no need to apologize,” Ling Ke said lightly.
He was also faint, and he thought that Qi Feng wanted to confess to him, but when he saw that he and another girl were doing that, he couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Thinking about it now, Ling Ke still regretted a bit.
Xu Junzhu said again, “Actually, I have nothing to do with Qi Feng. I always like him unilaterally. Don’t worry about the ‘ex-girlfriend’ I said before. That’s when Qi Feng and I were young and ignorant. Yes, it’s no different from playing family. He didn’t even kiss me at the time,” Xu Junzhu gave Qi Feng an angry and funny look, and said, “if I would have known that you were gay a long time ago, I wouldn’t be so entangled too!”
Qi Feng: “…”
This could be regarded as verifying Qi Feng’s explanation at the time, and Ling Ke was inexplicably comfortable.
However, after he glanced at Qi Feng, he felt a little strange. Isn’t Xu Junzhu quite comfortable? Why did Qi Feng say that she still didn’t believe that they were dating?
Chu Shuangshuang heard Xu Junzhu’s call and wondered, “What song did Qi Feng sing? What did he say makes you want to be crooked?”
Xu Junzhu explained, “Qi Feng was participating in their F University Top Ten Singing Competition at the time. Do you know what he sang? Wang Xinling’s “Love You”! That was my favorite song when I was in elementary school. I also shared the tuning loop with Qi Feng and listened to it. I remember that Qi Feng learned it after listening to it. For a while, he sang it to me every day…”
Qi Feng & Ling Ke & Chu Shuangshuang: “…”
“I went to him that night, and he sang and danced on stage, and this is what he said after singing, ‘Although I can’t say I love you now, this song represents my mood’… Do you think I want to be crooked? “Xu Junzhu gave Qi Feng a bitter look.
Chu Shuangshuang was stunned, “Wait, did he say this on stage after singing?”
Xu Junzhu: “Yes.”
Qi Feng seemed to realize something and only felt a chill in his back.
—But it was too late, Chu Shuangshuang had already discovered the problem!
She frowned and pointed to Qi Feng and Ling Ke, “Aren’t they already dating? What does it mean to not say ‘love you’? Who did Qi Feng say to?”
Qi Feng & Ling Ke: “…”
Xu Junzhu also looked at them suspiciously, “That’s right…”
She carefully recalled the incident that night. After she finished listening to the song, she was immersed in a romantic plot like a novel. She was excited to find Qi Feng and asked him if those words on stage were to her, then Ling Ke appeared.
Ling Ke still had flowers in his hand at the time, and when they finished introducing each other, Ling Ke kissed Qi Feng in front of her.
That time was indeed very strange. Since you are in a relationship, why did you say “I don’t want to force him to respond to me on this occasion” before on stage?
“Those words, I said to Ling Ke,” Qi Feng stretched out his hand to hold Ling Ke’s palm with a smile on his face, looking particularly calm, but no one knew that Qi Feng was already nervous and sweating profusely!
“In fact, we just determined the relationship that night,” Qi Feng said again.
Ling Ke forcefully resisted the urge to pull his hand out and gave Qi Feng a complicated look.
This guy’s acting is really good…
But why not deal with Xie Qibao’s previous rhetoric? So there will be no loopholes?
“Hey, you aren’t lying to me, are you?” sure enough, Qi Feng’s explanation sounded a little reluctant to Xu Junzhu, who experienced the incident that night.
She was not stupid. Looking back, it was obvious that she saw Qi Feng first. Logically speaking, even after Qi Feng confessed on the stage, he still couldn’t confirm the relationship with Ling Ke immediately, and why would Ling Ke come up to kiss directly and show off affection at that time?
Xu Junzhu’s eyebrows were raised, but this time, she looked at Ling Ke, waiting for him to explain.
Ling Ke noticed that Qi Feng’s palm suddenly tightened, knowing that the other party was asking for help.
He turned his gaze slightly away, and pressed his fist slightly to his lips, his gaze flickered and said, “I, at that time…was a little jealous, sorry…”
Xu Junzhu asked Ling Ke again, “You mean you weren’t together before you saw me, but after you saw me, you got jealous and kissed Qi Feng, and then you are together directly?”
Ling Ke said with difficulty, “Yeah… yeah, more or less…”
Being forced to confess the true emotions that he didn’t want to express in his heart was definitely the most shameful moment in Ling Ke’s life.
He only hoped that Qi Feng also thought it was just that his acting skills were good…
However, after Qi Feng listened to his words, he went even further and stretched out his hand to embrace his shoulders and carried him into his arms. He looked like he wanted to be soothed, so Ling Ke did not know how to respond.
This was probably… also acting, right?
She regarded herself as the protagonist, but it was just an assist in other people’s love. She thought she had discovered a loophole, but the opposite people directly showed their divine light of love in front of her…
Xu Junzhu couldn’t accept this reality gap for a while, and depressingly put her chopsticks into her bowl, “Wu, why am I so miserable?!”
Chu Shuangshuang was also a little speechless, so she could only pat this lass on the shoulder to show comfort. By the way, she commented, “This is… a bit too much of a coincidence.”
【Little Show】
Xu Junzhu: “”Love You” is my favorite song when I was in elementary school, and Qi Feng sang it for me!”
Qi Feng: “…” Keke, listen to me, it’s not like this ah QAQ…
Ling Ke: “…” Hehe… you can go die.
Oh my- And here, everyone thought it’ll be his brother 😂
Ahahaha I kinda wish they drag this out a bit more…but i want to see them show their true feelings…QAQ what do I choose?
Thanks for the chapter~
Hahaha I don’t know why but am enjoying their misery 😄 😅 😆
Thanks for the chapter
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
Thank you for the chapter!
Ah this fake couple that wants to be a real couple but don’t know that that’s the way it is! 😂
Thanks for your hard work!
heh. even if they are a fake couple, Qi Feg is obviously not interested in you. I’d drop it in order to avoid embarrassment.
thanks for the chapter! <3
….slag? Thank you for the chapter!
so do i need to actually bite my left toe or…
Erhm…. It’s been almost a year or so since this was originally posted so it may be inappropriate to ask but….. I feel that, maybe… Was the translation quality always this… MTL-y? I dunno how to say it… It’s like there’s parts that seemed like a mash of words that doesn’t make sense or have no continuity at all? But I like the story so far, so it’s not like I’ll just drop this hehe
I actually felt the same, only stuck out to me in the last chapter or so
Right?! Thankfully, I’m already done reading and now I’m off to see Qi Yu’s love story lmao
great idea, I should do the same
no you’re so right. its really breaking my immersion i almost wish they didnt pick it up after the previous translator
There is an obvious dip in quality of the translation. Barely readable, I’d say. I have to reread many sentences several times and substitute a lot of words in my mind to make sense of it. Feels like reading and unedited and not proofread MTL.
