EmbersCh52 - “Open Your Mouth”

Sorry for the late upload – this isn’t my translation, it is Ro’s, so I was waiting to see whether she would post it or not but it seems she has officially gone off the radar.


“……” GdTRjA

Around the dinner table, it was silent with tacit understanding for a while, but after three seconds, a thundering of laughter broke out.

Sitting beside Huang Mao, Dong Qui kept clapping his hands repeatedly, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “I’ve really gained some fucking knowledge!”

“Shut the fuck up!” Huang Mao sat stupefied for a while, then ferociously started gulping down beer, mourning the loss of his mathematics dream.

The next day was also full of exams and they didn’t meet for very long before Sheng Renxing went home to study. 0QhDR5

The others, in a rare move, also didn’t go to an internet cafe.

It wasn’t until Friday when all of the exams were over that an invisible ban seemed to be lifted on all of them and they went to a ktv to drink and drink.

Sheng Renxing really couldn’t stand it, huddling on the sofa while listening to their wolf howls and demonic screeching singing “Heartless you”.

Xing Ye had gone outside to go take a call. Lu Zhaohua, who was sitting beside him, noticed that Sheng Renxing was holding his cup so tightly in his hand and was afraid that he was about to lose control and dump the cup over the head of the singer, so Lu Zhaohua quickly raised his own cup and gave him a toast.

Sheng Renxing went through the motions of toasting with him, before asking: “Is there anybody else?”

There were only six of them, but they had booked the biggest room.

“There are still a few others,” it was too noisy, so Lu Zhaohua leaned closer in, “all from Thirteenth High School.”

Sheng Renxing nodded: “Why don’t you go up and sing?” Bsdlty

Lu Zhaohua shook his head, pointing at Huang Mao and the others, who were passionately singing in front of the screens: “They won’t let me, they think I’m too off-key and will influence their singing.”

“?” Sheng Renxing just looked at him.

Lu Zhaohua stared back at him, face full of innocence.

A graceful sound emerged from the singing, “For only a momentary atmosphere, get a belly full of anger.”

“Yeah.”

If David Tao were to hear this, he would fall silent. If Chen Xiaochun were to hear this, he’d start crying.

Sheng Renxing closed his eyes and went silent for quite a while: “I’m going outside to use the washroom.” kypVdh

After he said this, he left without even looking back.

Opening the door, he just happened to bump into Xing Ye who was coming in.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It was like looking right at himself…

Xing Ye said: “From the fifth class.” mrEAjT

Sheng Renxing nodded at them.

Xing Ye: “You guys go inside first, if there is something you want to order, just directly order it.”

Among them, Cun Ban laughed: “Ok, thank you Xing-ge, oh!”

Xing Ye shook his head slightly, but he didn’t go in with them, instead closing the door and turning to Sheng Renxing. QyvYaS

The two of them walked towards the washroom. After a few steps, they could hear the sound of Cun Ban and the others greeting Jiang Jing and the group already inside: “Ay, Wan-ge, you way you guys sing, it just gets more and more energetic, ah!”

Sheng Rexing arrived at the washroom, washed his hands, casually chatting with Xing Ye: “You are buying the meal today?”

“En.” From beside him, Xing Ye turned on the tap.

Sheng Renxing asked: “Why are people from other classes here?” dKFBXZ

“They were in the group when we made planes, so they were just invited along.” XIng Ye finished washing his hands, lifting his head to look at him through the mirror, “Don’t like it when there is a lot of people?”

Sheng Renxing leaned on sink, shaking his head. “Just looking at them , you can tell they plan on drinking all night, did you bring enough money?”

“No,” Xing Ye turned off the tap, flicking his hands at the sink, “But if I sell you, then I’ll have enough.”

“?” Sheng Renxing snorted out a laugh, “As long as you could bear to leave me, then sure.” s4O0Gz

He used his finger to gesture at Xing Ye’s raised write bone: “There, you missed some bubbles.”

Xing Ye glanced down and turned on the tap to re-wash his hands.

Sheng Renxing had also gotten some onto his finger just now, and reached out his hand to freeload off of his sink.

After a while: “You don’t have anything you want to ask?” FjPNfz

Sheng Renxing spoke casually.

For example, how did your exams go and such.

Before the exams, the two of them had made a bet when they were bored, betting on whether Sheng Renxing could make it to number one in the school on the exams.

If he made it, Xing Ye had promised him one thing. x0bwGj

Xing Ye nodded: “Did you eat any candy?”

Sheng Renxing was surprised, not thinking he would ask this question: “Oh, the mint that was on the table, didn’t you see it?”

Xing Ye thought about it carefully: “Wasn’t paying attention.”

As he spoke, he turned the tap off: “Let’s go back.” qepZh4

But, when they got back, they discovered there was no more mint candy.

The plate that held the mint candy was completely empty now.

Although there was no more candy, the number of people had increased by a lot.

It wasn’t the group that had passed them by earlier. More had come, both boys and girls, either sitting on the couch or standing beside the microphones. dpgCnu

As soon as they saw them, their eyes lit up and they immediately came to enthusiastically greet Xing Ye.

“Xing-ge!”

“Xing-ge, where did you go?”

“Xing-ge, sing a song, ah!” n8 C0V

So many greetings, it was even noisier than a visit from the head of state.

Some people immediately gave up a seat in politeness to Xing Ye: “Sit, Xing-ge. Do you want to drink beer?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xing Ye shook his head, walking to a one-seater sofa where someone was already sitting. The person on the sofa saw him coming and gave up his seat immediately.

Xing Ye nodded slightly at him and let Sheng Renxing sit down: “What do you want to drink?” wNxWQ6

Sheng Renxing followed behind him with his hands in his pockets, sitting down very prim and proper, glancing at the table: “Coke.”

The man next to him who had offered his seat didn’t get far before hearing what he said, and he naturally persuaded: “Drink what coke, only women and and children drink coke, drink beer!”

Everybody that was here all knew each other, they were all people who “knew how to have a good time”, and nobody was shy to speak up. This person spoke very familiarly and turned his head to Xing Ye to say: “Xing-ge, do you also want wine? I’ll get it for you!”

Xing Ye stretched out his hand and blocked him: “No need.” Then he turned around to go grab a can of Coke and a can of beer. NfVLh7

He already gave off a cool air just by standing there, not to mention when he spoke this kind of sentence.

 

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet. The man froze in place, scratching his head in embarrassment, and a friend next to him tried to give him a way out: “Idiot, who told you to meddle? Come and help me, why can’t I find that song?”

He put down his hands: “You’re the idiot!” but he still ran over. iCA4bE

Sheng Renxing watched coldly, took the Coke handed over by Xing Ye, pulling open the tab of the can with a ‘peng’ sound.

Xing Ye half turned and sat on the armrest of the sofa next to him, watching a few people in the middle howling to a song that he had never heard before.

Sheng Renxing deliberately asked: “You don’t drink Coke?”

“What?” It was so noisy here that Xing Ye couldn’t hear clearly. w7aNAC

When Sheng Renxing was about to ask again, someone called him over there again: “Xing-ge! Come sing!”

From all the way across the room, Huang Mao was yelling. Half of the people in the room glanced at them.

He started trying to persuade.

“Sing a song, Xing-ge?” BE1SmK

“That’s right, Xing-ge, I haven’t heard you sing before, sing one now?”

“Xing Ye!”

Everyone was drinking. They usually didn’t dare to talk to Xing Ye, but, in this atmosphere, they all started to try and coax him. Others saw him sitting on the armrest of the sofa and asked him to sit there. 0aLQIV

It could be seen that Xing Ye was very popular among these people.

Xing Ye: “No, you guys sing.”  He was half-leaning on the back of the sofa, one leg sluggishly stepped on the ground, looking long and straight. The lights in the ktv were adjusted like a disco, and he shook his head slightly, no one daring to continue to persuade him.

Everyone began to coax others, and their little corner became quiet.

Xing Ye bent down, put one hand on the back of the sofa, and asked Sheng Renxing: “What did you just say?” rCvGJK

Sheng Renxing glanced at him, but didn’t speak, raising his hand to touch the leg resting next to him.

He wrote and drew on his thigh.

“I said.”

Xing Ye wrinkled his eyebrows, his leg muscles tightening, and with Sheng Renxing’s strokes, the last question mark pattern emerged. The person who had been lowering his head and drawing looked up at himself, and opened his mouth with the corners of his eyes bent, revealing the tip of his bright red tongue and the mint candy that had not been eaten on the tip of his tongue. xddngv

“Do you still want candy?”

It’s a lyric from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlLM6W7iRUI&ab_channel=JordanChanVEVO. IbzpRo

Essentially the words for “atmosphere” and “anger” sound really, really similar.
