After a while, Xing Ye returned.
“What happened?” Sheng Renxing looked at his face.
Xing Ye watched him for a moment before shaking his head, pointing to the breakfast on the table: “You going to eat? It’s getting cold.”
Sheng Renxing frowned, giving Xing Ye a deep look: “What’s wrong? Tell me.”
Xing Ye pursed his lips: “Soon.” Then he walked to the dining table.
On Monday, it was Teacher Lu for first period. She walked into the classroom with her seven-centimetre high heels, and threw a stack of papers on her desk with a slap.
The classroom was silent – everyone was tacitly waiting for her to explode.
Old Lu loved having face, but this year’s top student wasn’t in her class. Everytime she received the grades after the monthly exams, she would sneer at them, hating iron for not becoming steel.
However, only those who were paying attention would be scolded with red faces – others wouldn’t even hear it. For example, Chen Ying would be listening while secretly eating.
Fatty even took the opportunity to start a live broadcast – the title was “Letting you listen to how high school teachers scold people, come in and get scolded!” Live streaming had only become popular in the last few years, and he was probably the only one broadcasting something like this – he didn’t expect it, but dozens of idle people were joining, all excited to hear it.
But this time was different. She looked around, breaking out into a smile: “So, everyone knows that the results of this monthly test have come out.”
As she spoke, Fatty whispered to his mobile phone below: “It’s over, our Old Lu is so angry that she’s lost her mind.”
“…This time, our class average score surpassed the next class by two points!” Lao Lu couldn’t hold back her joy, especially when faced with the teacher next door after the results came out. Whenever she thought about it, she felt that she had now found a source of happiness for this month. “There’s more good news.”
“This time, the number one in the grade is in our class!”
Old Lu squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Ying: “It’s Sheng Renxing!”
“Everyone! Applause!”
After she started to applaud, she saw the empty seat being covered by Fatty’s body, and Chen Ying’s surprised and embarrassed expression, mixed with a “We’re finished” face.
Old Lu’s clapping stopped abruptly.
The students in the class, shocked by “the first in the grade”, also looked over in amazement, applauding the empty seat.

Some people were just shocked: “You look good, you have money, you can play piano, and your grades are awesome! Where the hell did this kind of shit come out of?!”
“I know,” someone faintly replied, “It came out of the romance I read yesterday! Maybe, to save me!” She looked around at the other boys in the class.
“??”
By the end, everyone was tacitly thinking of the same question.
“Where is he?” Old Lu looked at Chen Ying with a cold face.
Chen Ying shook, tried his best to cover his phone behind his pencil case and blurted out: “I don’t know, ask Brother Xing! Brother Xing definitely knows.”
Lao Lu: “…”
Fatty, who turned his head suddenly: “…”
Chen Ying: “…” Okay, isn’t it just jumping off the building, don’t urge me, I’ll go right away!
So, Sheng Renxing, who skipped first period, was caught by the teacher on the spot.
And he knew the reason. Why? Because Xing Ye had received a call from Jiang Jing, saying that Sheng Renxing’s teacher asked him to ask Xing Ye where Sheng Renxing was.
Xing Ye: “?”
Sheng Renxing: “?”
Jiang Jing said in the next second: “Hahahahahha, I’m joking.”
Sheng Renxing could hear very clearly from beside Xing Ye, and spoke: “I think the weather is very bad today. It’s very suitable for beating people up.”
“Don’t, hahahaha, I’m not actually lying to you.” Then he told them what had happened in class, saying that after being silent for a while, Lao Lu asked Chen Ying: “Who is Brother Xing?”
Xing Ye: “…”
Jiang Jing went on to say that this incident was somehow now a hot post – its popularity was on par with the post discussing how Sheng Renxing was top of the grade. After gloating about his misfortune, he finally added a sentence asking them to bring breakfast before Xing Ye hung up the phone.
Xing Ye was silent for a while. Sheng Renxing blinked.
After a while, Sheng Renxing laughed and “tsk”-ed, pretending to be angry, “Why did you disclose your relationship with me without my consent!”
Xing Ye: “…” Without a word, he lowered his head and continued eating his wontons.
In the next moment, Chen Ying’s text message begging for mercy arrived – it was a huge block of text containing all of his unintentional mistakes, how he couldn’t regret it enough, and how he couldn’t wait to apologise to death. Then, he asked euphemistically whether Xing Ye knew about it yet… And what his attitude was.
His words were very sincere and emotional – Sheng Renxing was moved. He was very loyal in helping him by finding the address of the nearest coffin shop, asking him to buy it now so as not to leave his corpse somewhere in the wilderness.
Chen Ying immediately responded with stickers full of crying and kowtows, begging him to save his life.
He didn’t have the time to reply – Xing Ye knocked on the table, waited for him to look over, and then pointed at the wontons he had only eaten a few mouthfuls of, saying with an indifferent expression: “Stop playing, eat quickly.”
“Oh,” Sheng Renxing put down his phone, but couldn’t help laughing: “Chen Ying asked me to intercede for him – he’s saying that his life is still useful, and you can keep him for another 60 years.” He poked the wontons with his chopsticks, his smile a contrast from his usual morning sleepiness.
Xing Ye listened to his laugh, and responded with an “mn”. Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone buzzed again.
Sheng Renxing took a look, laughed, put his chopsticks aside, and continued to reply to the message.
Xing Ye frowned slightly.
For the next few minutes, Sheng Renxing kept replying to his messages, laughing from time to time, and didn’t eat a single bite of the wontons in front of him.
Xing Ye put down his chopsticks and said: “Let’s go.”
“Ah?” Sheng Renxing raised his head and looked down at his bowl: “But I haven’t finished eating yet.”
Before he even finished speaking, Xing Ye had stood up and left.
“?” Sheng Renxing saw that Xing Ye didn’t seem to be in a good mood, so he picked up his mobile phone and chased after him.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Xing Ye took him to class on the bicycle – Sheng Renxing was starting to feel the convenience of these vehicles in all aspects. He wanted to buy a station and put it in Qinyuan Community.
On the way, Sheng Renxing kept on asking Xing Ye, but he didn’t reply, as if he couldn’t hear.
When they entered the school’s parking shed, Sheng Renxing got out of the backseat and blocked Xing Ye, frowning and suppressing his temper: “Don’t ignore me, what’s the matter?” He felt that he was being very gentle, but his impatience and being ignored the whole time still came out in his tone.
Xing Ye gave him a cold look, attempting to walk around him.
Sheng Renxing stopped him again.
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t leave. We’ll just stay here.” Sheng Renxing crossed his arms. There was a latecomer also parking his bike next to them – he suddenly saw these two famous people standing there as if they were in the midst of an argument. He stayed still, slowly locking the car, wanting to hear the gossip.
Xing Ye still didn’t reply, and Sheng Renxing didn’t want to lose his temper at him, so he scolded the person next to them instead: “What are you looking at, get out!”
The latecomer’s heart was on fire, but, looking at how strong the other two looked and thinking about how the last time he fought anyone was in junior high school, he could only take a breath and turn around, admitting defeat.
Fortunately, no one else was here, so no one would see him ashamed.
After losing his temper on him, Sheng Renxing’s anger towards Xing Ye naturally disappeared. After thinking about it, he remembered what Qiu Datou had said before to coax his girlfriend: “Don’t ignore me when I don’t even know what I did wrong.”
No matter what, you always had to admit being in the wrong first.
Though Xing Ye was neither a woman nor his girlfriend, it seemed as though it really worked on him – his expression changed, and the coldness in his eyes dispersed a lot. After a while he pursed his lips and finally spoke: “You said yourself that you wanted to eat wontons, but when we actually got them you didn’t even eat them, you were playing on your phone.”
“Ah?” Sheng Renxing was stunned, and blurted out: “Just because of that?” He wanted to protest that he did take a few bites, but when Xing Ye’s face became cold again after hearing what he just said, Sheng Renxing hurriedly swallowed that sentence.
“Okay, I won’t play on my phone when I eat in the future.” Sheng Renxing agreed with an inexplicable mood.
Xing Ye’s face didn’t look much better – he just said “mn”, and when he saw that he was no longer being blocked, made his way to the classroom.
On the way, Sheng Renxing still felt like something wasn’t right. He thought to himself – though inexperienced, he had seen a lot of pigs running. Thinking about it more, he then stopped abruptly as if he just became enlightened. His tone was hesitant: “You… Are you… jealous?”
Xing Ye in front of him ignored him.
Sheng Renxing suddenly realised the truth, took a few steps to catch up with him, and continued to speak, surprised: “You were really jealous just now?” He couldn’t help but carry on: “Chen Ying, you know him, why are you jealous of him, what’s so good about him?”
This realisation had a big impact on him, and he couldn’t help talking with some excitement: “It’s just that he said something wrong in the morning and asked me to ask you for mercy. We just talked about that and nothing else. Besides, how could I have a crush on him? And all we did was just chat a bit in the morning.” Do you want to see that too?
At the bottom of the stairs, Xing Ye suddenly stopped and looked at him: “That’s how you chase people?”
Seeing Xing Ye’s serious expression, Sheng Renxing was stunned. He stopped talking, thoughtless words forming in his mouth: You’re thinking about this? Why? How does one chase after oneself?
The two stayed standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking at each other without speaking.
After a long time, Sheng Renxing took out his phone from his pocket, opened his chat log with Chen Ying, and put it into Xing Ye’s hand: “You look at it.” When he thought back to what Qiu Datou did when his girlfriend was jealous, he found that he couldn’t remember a time like that at all. So he was silent, and said according to his own way of coaxing someone:
“I’ll go to our class, take Chen Ying outside, and beat him up.”
Chen Ying: Does our friendship mean so little to you?
