Yue Xingwen noticed that Jiang Pingce seemed to be in a particularly good mood today?
This person usually did not smile, and his expression was always cold and serious, but since the badminton practice, his gaze had been very gentle, and there was a rare smile on his face.
Yue Xingwen liked Jiang Pingce’s smile very much, such Jiang Pingce was much more vivid and was a bit of ‘human’, while his usually tense face, really like a walking intelligent AI.
Yue Xingwen was thinking randomly in his mind, when Jiang Pingce’s deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears, “Xingwen, I have always felt that in many things, the two of us always have a same heart and tacit understanding, and we can always think of the same thing, right?”
Yue Xingwen came back to his senses and said with a smile, “En, I think so too.”
Jiang Pingce looked at him seriously, “So, there are some things you can understand without me saying them, right?”
Yue Xingwen thought about it and nodded, “Almost.”
Jiang Pingce looked at his clear and upright gaze, and there was a trace of helplessness in his heart.
It was actually much worse.
My feeling for you, it was not as a best friend, or a good brother, but a love that wanted to take you for myself, kissed you, embraced you, and grew old with you hand in hand, it was kind of a true love for the rest of my life.
A good brother and lover, there was an irreplaceable boundary between the two. But now, this boundary was gradually becoming blurred, and Xingwen might not realize it yet.
When exactly did he fall in love with Xingwen? Jiang Pingce was actually not very clear.
Perhaps it was after the first class of high school, when both of them sat at the same table for a while. Jiang Pingce was attentive and listened to every class carefully, but Yue Xingwen actually took advantage of the teacher, turned on the blackboard writing to eat food stealthily, and ran to the playground to play after class. He did not seem to love learning, but the result of the first monthly exam, their total score actually only had less than 5 points difference.
Xingwen was a typical gifted person, his memory was particularly strong, and he would remember the content that the teacher had spoken once very clearly. When memorizing the long ancient texts of the Chinese Language, while the other students couldn’t memorize them for several days, he could completely recite them after reading it twice…
From then on, Jiang Pingce had been impressed by this cheerful and smart boy beside him.
He couldn’t help but always care about the other party, envy the other party’s talent in memory, and his gaze couldn’t help but fall on him, and over time, his gaze always followed him.
Even after the class was divided, he had been paying attention to his news from the mouths of his classmates.
High school was the time period of teenage love, and later, Yue Xingwen even appeared in his dreams. Jiang Pingce suddenly realized that his emotions were gradually changing. He tried to control it, but the figure of Yue Xingwen was always dangling in his mind, and he couldn’t control it at all.
Jiang Pingce had always had the self-control that his parents were proud of since he was a child.
But only in this case, his self-control collapsed.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He didn’t know how many teenage youthful dreams uncontrollably reminded him of that person, and his body would shamefully react. Every time the school results were released, he went to see the report card for the first time, just to see Yue Xingwen’s name on the score list alongside himself.

However, at the last minute, he suddenly changed his mind.
His parents did not understand why he switched to Hua’an, and Jiang Pingce’s reason was, “I don’t want my life to be arranged by my parents, and the Mathematics Department of Hua’an University is also the top in the country. I want to go to the north for a change of environment.”
Only Jiang Pingce knew…
He suddenly revised his choice, just because Xingwen had applied to Hua’an.
At that time, Yue Xingwen was a champion in liberal arts. Both Kyoto University and Hua’an University handed him olive branches, but the Faculty of Humanities in Hua’an had a professor that Yue Xingwen liked very much, so after receiving the call, he agreed to the invitation of Hua’an University without hesitation.
He was straightforward and would not politely say ‘Let me think again’, but directly said, “I want to apply to the Chinese Department of Hua’an University, I like Professor XX very much.”
Jiang Pingce heard the news from the mouth of Yue Xingwen’s classmates, so he changed his mind at the last minute.
On the day of the freshman’s registration, Yue Xingwen was very surprised when he saw Jiang Pingce, and said ‘What a coincidence’.
In fact, it was not a coincidence.
Being schoolmates with you for three years was not enough, I wanted to continue to go to the same university as you and be able to continue to see you.
Yue Xingwen took the initiative to ask for his contact information, and Jiang Pingce pushed the boat along the water and became friends with him.
If it wasn’t because of love. With Jiang Pingce’s indifferent character, even after adding friends, it was impossible to take the initiative to ask Yue Xingwen to go to self-study, and even more impossible to give likes to Yue Xingwen’s every Moments.
He didn’t even look at the other people’s Moments at all.
Recalling the bits and pieces since they met, Jiang Pingce’s gaze became more gentle.
Xingwen was the love of his life, and the feelings he hid in his heart were as strong and mellow as wine that had been fermented for many years. From the dreams of ignorance when he was young, to think clearly about what he loved and wanted. He changed his mind to enroll in the same university as Yue Xingwen… Along the way, he hadn’t told anyone about it, but he had already decided where to go from here.
He identified Xingwen and would not let go in this life.
Yue Xingwen found that Jiang Pingce seemed to be caught in memories, and gradually noticed that something was wrong as he was watched by the gentle gaze of the other party. His cheeks were inexplicably hot, and his heartbeat began to accelerate strangely. He quickly looked away and wondered, “What’s wrong with you today, like you hit the jackpot?”
Jiang Pingce was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, “It’s nothing. I am just to be sure of one thing.”
Yue Xingwen’s head was full of question marks, “What is it?”
Jiang Pingce said lightly, “The next life plan.”
—— You are the most important part of my life plan.
Unsure, Yue Xingwen reached out and put the back of his hand to Jiang Pingce’s forehead to test his temperature and said to himself, “No fever ah? How do I think you are a little strange today?”
Jiang Pingce grabbed his hand gently and said, “Don’t think about it. It’s almost time, let’s go playing first.”
The boy’s fingers were clean and slender, and the moment they were held, Yue Xingwen’s heart jumped, and he immediately retracted his hand uncomfortably and put it in his pocket, pretending to smiled casually, “Okay, let’s go play.”
At 10 am, table tennis, badminton, tennis and beach volleyball officially began.
Each event had its own venue, just as everyone was usually required to enter the corresponding examination room during the exam. Contestants entered the different venues at the gymnasium entrance on the -6th floor, and would be shunted to different dungeons, unable to meet each other.
Liu Zhaoqing, Zhuo Feng, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce came to the badminton court together. Qin Lu and Qin Miao registered in double table tennis, and both of them went to the table tennis venue next door. Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo went to beach volleyball, and Xin Yan went to the singles tennis match. Other teammates who did not register for the event came to the badminton court to watch the game.
The single-player event started quickly.
Due to the registration of more than 4,000 badminton players, the preliminaries directly used the ‘elimination system’. All the contestants played one on one in pairs, the winner went to the next round, until the last 8 people remained, and then the group points round, each group selected the top two to enter the final. Finally, the champion, runner-up and third place would be determined.
The rules for the doubles event were the same as the singles, which was also the elimination system all the way to the quarterfinals and then the group stage.
Liu Zhaoqing’s strength in playing badminton was very strong, and he passed continuously through the fifth round. There were still more than 100 people left, and unluckily met Zhuo Feng in the group stage. Both of them glanced at each other helplessly at the field.
Zhuo Feng suggested, “I won’t use skills, should we fight normally?”
The skills of the Medicine Department were useless in this Sports Meeting, and Liu Zhaoqing had felt it was very hard to get to this point, relatively speaking, Zhuo Feng could force the opponent’s shuttlecock to land by gravity, and the possibility of winning the prize was higher. Since the two were divided into a group, one must be out in the elimination round, and Liu Zhaoqing felt that he was the best choice to be out.
Thinking of this, he simply said, “I’ll just admit defeat, you have more hope than me to go to the final.”
Zhuo FEng replied, “Not playing?”
Liu Zhaoqing said, “You can retain more physician strength, there’s not need to waste time with me.”
Zhuo Feng aldo nodded cheerfully and said, “Okay, when we have time to go back later, we will play privately.”
Liu Zhaoqing took the initiative to admit defeat and let Zhuo Feng retain his physical strength to deal with the later round. Zhuo Feng also lived up to expectations, relying on his excellent badminton strength and the blessing of the Gravity of the Physics Department, he had reached the quarterfinals.
Yue Xingwen looked at the list of the top four and leaned over to Jiang Pingce’s ear to analyze, “There are two Physics Department’s students, one Mathematics Department and one Sports College in the top four. The guy from Sports has a good relationship with someone who made it to the top eight, so maybe they also registered for the double.”
Jiang Pingce nodded, “En, from more than 4,000 contestants to the quarterfinals, each person has to play at least nine rounds. Their special abilities have a cooldown time, it’s impossible to use it all the time, so their own badminton strength can’t be too bad, the special powers are just the icing on the cake.”
Yue Xingwen said, “The other Departments were eliminated, proving that the best skills for a badminton event are gravity and coordinate system. And Sports College’s student doesn’t use his ability, and he’s very powerful to be able to reach the final with raw strength.”
They did not know what opponents they would encounter in the double competition, so they would watch the single-player competition carefully and gain experience in advance.
In the semi-finals, Zhuo Feng happened to be in a civil war with a contestant from the same Physics Department. In the end, Zhuo Feng defeated his opponent by his rich playing experience and accurate judgment of using the Gravity skill, and met Gao Yong, a Sports College’s student, in the finals. This Gao Yong was tall and strong, jumping up and smashing the shuttlecock with sufficient lethality. Looking at his playing experience, he looked specially trained. Even if Zhuo Feng used gravity on several key points, because the opponent’s playing style was too aggressive and fast, it was often too hard for Zhuo Feng to use his skill.
In the end, Zhuo Feng lost 0:2 and won the runner-up.
Yue Xingwen, as a spectator, could clearly see the style of play of that student from the Sports College. He said, “This person is very professional, he didn’t use any special abilities, and can force senior brother Zhuo Feng to this extent. If we meet him, we may not win.”
Jiang Pingce said, “Let’s improvise. He hits the shuttlecock too fast, I may be unable to write the formula in time.”
Yue Xingwen laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter, we don’t take part in the competition to win the award. We can accept both winning and losing. I dragged you to register in the badminton event just so I could play with you.”
He looked back at Jiang Pingce, and said seriously, “After I learnt badminton in my sophomore year, I always wanted to ask you, but you became particularly busy after the start of junior year, and I also have to write a thesis, so there’s no time. This time, just think of it as a fulfillment of my wish! After all, it was because of you that I went to learn badminton.”
It was because of you that I went to learn badminton… This sentence was really nice to hear.
The corners of Jiang Pingce’s lips lifted lightly as he extended his hand and said, “Good, regardless of the result, let’s enjoy this competition together.”
Yue Xingwen also held out his hand and shook him tightly, cheering each other on.
The result was not important.
The important thing was that he went to learn badminton because of Jiang Pingce, and now he could finally play with Pingce. In addition to studying together, they would have another common hobby, and they could play badminton together when they were free.
Yue Xingwen was a little happy but he didn’t know why.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Pingce was in a good mood today, and Yue Xingwen found himself in a particularly good mood under his influence.
Both of them joked and laughed all the way to the field side by side.
Teammates: “…”
Jiang Pingce had more smiles today than in the past week combined!
Ke Shaobin stroked the head of his Xiao Tu that was taking photos thoughtfully, and made a comment, “Both Xingwen and Pingce are in good mood today ah? I think that their opponents are going to be unlucky.”
