EmbersCh54 - “Blow On Me”

“What make-up lessons?” From beside, there suddenly came the voice of someone else.

The two people glanced over in sync. nlwMQy

They saw Jiang Jing walking closer, his whole face filled with laughter: “You want to give Xing Ye make up lessons?”

“En,” Sheng Renxing gave Xing Ye a look, Xing Ye’s face was completely devoid of any expression, not exposing what he was thinking at all. “You want to do it together?”

“No, no, no,” Jiang Jing looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter and failing, “Good luck to you guys, though!”

Sheng Renxing massaged his forehead, directly saying, “Thank you.” WOZJFP

But Jiang Jing didn’t have any intention to go in, instead sitting in the chair right in front of them, “don’t mind me, ah, I’m just here for some fresh air, it’s too smoky inside.”

Sheng Renxing shook his head, confused at why he would ask them not to mind.

“I just heard you guys talking about a birthday?” He looked towards Sheng Renxing, searching for gossip, “Is it your birthday soon?”

Sheng Renxing nodded.

0xm3Vg

“When is it?” He asked.

“December.” Sheng Renxing replied.

Jiang Jing nodded, suddenly remembering something: “Wait, isn’t it your eighteenth birthday?!”

Sheng Renxing was just about to refute his words, when he started counting off on his fingers: “Mine is in March, Xing-ge is June. Who knew, you’re actually the oldest.” oEenRI

Sheng Renxing was silent for a while, before ambiguously making an “en” sound.

“Then we’ll have to properly celebrate it, ah! Turning eighteen is special, after all.” Jiang Jing looked at the two of them, laughing very meaningfully.

Xing Ye was silent.

“… …?” Sheng Renxing was silent for a few seconds before he could react, but it was already too late. Jiang Jing had turned and walked straight into the private room: “What is he doing?” J7yVY4

Xing Ye shook his head several times: “Let’s go back.”

“No, I want to go to the washroom.”

“I’ll go with you?”

“No need.” NdZzTQ

The result ended up being Xing Ye waiting outside for Sheng Renxing for a long time, before getting worried and going in to check on him, finding Sheng Renxing standing in front of the mirror and staring blankly ahead. His long red hair was wet and sticking to his face, droplets of water dripping down from his chin and getting the front of his clothing wet.

Xing Ye stepped forward, ripping two pieces of tissue and handing them to him.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Sheng Renxing accepted the tissue, wiping his face: “I was a little light-headed. After splashing some cold water on my face, I feel much better.”

“Do you want to go back now?” Xing Ye asked. JbNM6j

Sheng Renxing molded the wet tissues into a ball and three it into the trash: “It’s ok, this happens whenever I drink a little, but if I want to get more drunk, this is nothing.”

“Then you’re very impressive.” Xing Ye praised him without even the slightest indication he meant it, “Do you need me to support you walking?”

Sheng Renxing glanced at him doubtfully: “I’m already done peeing, what are you looking to support?”

Xing Ye: “… …” Lu9s1P

Sheng Renxing slowly moved his hand towards his belt: “But if you want to see it, it’s not impossible…”

Xing Ye held down his hand, glanced at the person who was coming in, and hauled the little drunkard away.

“Sit down.” Xing Ye pressed him to the chair and saw him struggling to pull his hand out, glaring at him with a warning. Sheng Renxing stopped moving.

“Xing-ge, are you coming?”

They had already changed the game being played, starting a round of Truth or Dare.

Normally, Xing Ye didn’t play. K otxR

However, Sheng Renxing heard wrong and thought they had called his own name: “C’mon.”

“Oh, oh, Sheng-ge is playing, what about Xing-ge?” Huang Mao was also a little drunk, saying whatever was on his mind.

Xing Ye restrained Sheng Renxing, originally wanting to say that he would not come play, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind: “En.”

Huang Mao laughed: “It’s rare that you play, ah, not bad! This is enough to give us brothers face!” qmV5jz

Jiang Jing pulled down his body that was about to stand up: “Ok, shut up now.”

Huang Mao was surprised, turning his head to look at him: “You just touched my butt!”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Truth be told, Jiang Jing was also a little drunk and so his hands hadn’t been placed right. Just now, he had been aiming to pull Huang Mao down by his belt, but he had missed and touched his butt instead.

This kind of thing happened a lot among them, and he didn’t care, but then he thought of the interactions between Xing Ye and Sheng Renxing just now, and suddenly got goosebumps: “Who the fuck touched your butt?” 57x0nB

Seeing that Huang Mao was about to speak again, he pointed to his nose: “Shut up! If you talk again, I will unscrew your balls.”

Huang Mao didn’t do anything and yet his balls were inexplicably threatened, sitting down with an aggrieved air, shocked and speechless: “You also want to unscrew my balls?!” He said, ‘As soon as the exam results come out, I’ll be dead when I go back. You also want to steal my balls and sell them before I die? Are you still human, Jiang Jing!”

“How am I not human?” Jiang Jing had drank too much and his tongue felt too big in his mouth,

The people that were drunk made a fuss by themselves, the sober ones unsure of whether to try and persuade them or not, not to mention how to persuade them at all.

Sheng Renxing was actually happy to see it, his once-calm hands beginning to make trouble again. He leaned into Xing Ye’s ear and exhaled: “Mine are worth more than his, do you want to see it?” As he spoke, his hands began to twist, ready to move.

Xing Ye restrained him with all of his might, closing his eyes and suppressing his thoughts. He spoke to Lu Zhaohua, who was the only one beside him who was looking normal: “I’ll go back first.” The two next to him were about to fight and it looked like they weren’t going to be able to play the game of truth or dare. yFjiYd

Lu Zhaohua held the phone in one hand to record Huang Mao and the others. He wanted to take the opportunity to pull Huang Mao’s pants off, but when he saw Xing Ye greeting him, he smiled and replied: “Okay, how will you guys go back?”

He glanced at his watch: “There should be no taxis or buses at this time.”

“I’ll call my personal driver.” Sheng Renxing said. He had finished laughing and his expression now was the same as it always was. He spoke to Xing Ye: “Let go of my hand, I’ll call.”

Xing Ye ignored him and asked Lu Zhaohua: “Do you have a car?” SscXLE

“He’s quite quiet when he’s drunk?” Lu Zhaohua said as he looked at him: “I have a motorcycle, but you’ve been drinking a lot, right? Can you still ride it?”

From beside them, Dong Qiu said: “Is a bike ok?”

Sheng Renxing was picky: “What brand?”

“A BMW.” Dong Qiu answered fluidly. K7syBr

Once they reached the parking lot, Sheng Renxing eyed it before pausing at one side, not getting on.

“Be good and get on.” Xing Ye led him to the back seat.

“Your BMW is too small!” Sheng Renxing pouted slightly ever so slightly. The back seat of the bike was a bit short, and he had no place to put his legs: “I won’t fit.”

“Just bear it, we’ll be there soon.” Xing Ye lowered his voice until it was something gentle. He couldn’t resist reaching forward to rub Sheng Renxing’s hair. E7MbZQ

“Okay.” Sheng Renxing’s expression was very reluctant: “if you are the one ferrying me.” As he spoke, he turned his hand, using it to grab onto Xing Ye’s hand and not let go.

“If you don’t want me to ferry you, then forget it.” Xing Ye said deliberately, pulling his hand back.

“No.” Sheng Renxing only held on tighter: “’I want you to ferry me.”

Xing Ye’s expression only became more amused, continuing to tease him by not agreeing. hYwgmX

Seeing that the threat was useless, Sheng Renxing immediately frowned and said in a low voice: “You hurt me.”

Xing Ye looked over, and sure enough, he saw the red mark on his hand that had be left from squeezing too hard.

He hadn’t noticed at all.

Quietly he said: “I’m sorry.” ytfHLS

His attitude fueled Sheng Renxing’s haughtiness, and his voice immediately became louder: “If ‘I’m sorry’ worked, then why do we need the police?”

“… … ” Xing Ye turned around and sat on the seat, his voice was cold but gentle: “’Then what are you going to do?”

Sheng Renxing thought about it for a while, and just when Xing Ye felt that the alcohol he’d consumed was about to be blown away by the cold wind, he said: “Blow on me.”

Xing Ye was very cooperative. Without prompting, he leaned in close to his wrist, and blew: “Is it okay now, Sheng-ge?”

Sheng Renxing stared at him blankly for a while before he obediently let go of his hand. As Xing Ye turned to grab the bike, he said: “You are older than me.”

“Huh?” Xing Ye raised his eyebrows in confusion. EOYkC5

Sheng Renxing put his legs over both sides of the bicycle and stood up, leaning in to whisper in his ear: “I am in the same year as you, but I started school a year early.”

Xing Ye: “So you are 17 right now?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Sheng Renxing protested quietly: “18 years old according to the traditional Chinese way of counting!”

Xing Ye: “We don’t count using that method.”

Sheng Renxing only gazed at him with his mouth slightly open, unconsciously licking his lips, the water reflecting on his lips printing a round of circle moonlight.

Xing Ye looked at his lips, his mind thinking of thoughts he had no idea where he’d heard of, that people say those with thin lips are unfeeling and cold. 4ymqr1

His lips were also thin, and between the two of them, who knew who was colder.

Sheng Renxing wrinkled his eyebrows and squinted his eyes slightly. His arrogant appearance was the same as usual, as if he wasn’t drunk. He was clueless: “Then you are also 17.”

Xing Ye nodded: “Yes, we are the same age.”’

Sheng Renxing gave a contended cold laugh.. 9OQy52

Xing Ye: “?”

Seeing that he ignored him, Sheng Renxing raised his volume and laughed coldly again.

Xing Ye: “??” What was it now?

Sheng Renxing approached him and said: “I’m asking you a question!” He had gotten too close and the hot air he exhaled blew on Xing Ye’s ears, with a slightly drunk smell, as if he was going to be steamed. 0TNJEP

Xing Ye turned his head: “You… …”

“Did you the homework yesterday?”

Xing Ye: “???”

Xing Ye: “… …” He turned around expressionlessly, straddling the bicycle seat with his long legs. 34P0eZ

Sheng Renxing sat behind him the whole way back.

He gave up chatting with Sheng Renxing, but Sheng Renxing didn’t give up trying to talk to him.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Along the way, he chattered relentlessly, giving him math problems, his voice like a sledgehammer piercing Xing Ye’s ears. From time to time he even touched him: “Come on! What is the answer?”

Xing Ye couldn’t even hear the topic clearly. Good thing it was late and there was not a lot of people around to this drunken appearance. xkvli8

His jacket had been given to Sheng Renxing to wear so he wore a thin sweater, and finally , out of options, resignedly said: “C, choose C.”

“No!”

“Then, B.”

“Incorrect!” Sheng Renxing gave him another slap, hitting Xing Ye’s curved spine: “This is not a multiple-choice question! It’s a fill-in-the-blank! Take this a little more seriously, it’s the college entrance examination!” 497O0J

Xing Ye’s bicycle almost fell over. In his heart, he wanted the person he was ferrying to be someone else. He could throw the person behind him off right now and stand byt the side of the road, clearing his head and trying to get more sober.

“Why do you care so much about my grades?”

But Sheng Renxing acted as if he couldn’t hear, continuing to urge him.

He also didn’t know why he had to take the college entrance examination before he finished his second year of high school, but he cooperated: “Where is the blank?” HQ7Iog

“… …” This time, Sheng Renxing was stumped, and he, a little stupidly, looked around for while, trying to find it. Right, where was the blank? But looking up, there was only the starry sky, the blurred and irrelevant background around, and the thin shoulders of the person in front of him.

He was quiet for a long while, but just when Xing Ye thought he had settled down, he suddenly opened his mouth: “Your waist is so thin.”

Xing Ye: “?”

Then, he felt a cold air against his front abdomen from under the hem of his clothes, causing him to shiver from the chill. Nmxbsi

Sheng Renxing had stuffed his hand under Xing Ye’s clothes.

Xing Ye almost crashed the bike into a tree: “Sheng Renxing!”

Sheng Renxing hugged him, leaning against him and quietly murmuring: “I’m so cold, you’re so warm.”

“… …” mECst2

Xing Ye sighed to himself. He lowered his head, his forehead covering his eyebrows, and he said helplessly and coldly: “Tomorrow, you better remember what happened tonight.” They will settle it then.

“Remember what?”

Behind him, Sheng Renxing seemed sleepy. He drew with one hand on Xing Ye’s waist, writing his name, and writing Xing Ye’s name.

Xing Ye said coldly: “Remember that you sexually harassed me.” FvO3Zs

The road was long, and the moon seemed to follow them, and there wasn’t enough space between them for the streetlights to shine through.

Behind him, Sheng Renxing was pressing against him tightly, wrapped snugly in his clothes, and only after a long time did he hear his voice come quietly and softly: “Remember Xing Ye.”

Not too sure about this translation.

Translator's Note

So everyone is a year old at birth (to account for pregnancy) and everyone collectively gets one year older at the start of the new year, and not on the individual’s birthday. That would make Sheng Renxing 18 if he were 17 counting from birth. To5 C3
