Xing Ye: “…”
He pointed his finger at Sheng Renxing and said, “Who’s going to be responsible for this if you don’t finish copying it all later?”
Sheng Renxing took a sip of milk, licked a milk stain on the corner of his mouth, and gave him a thumbs-up, saying, “Believe in yourself!”
Xing Ye: “…”
He glanced coldly at Sheng Renxing and took the assignment.
Sheng Renxing smiled as he watched him write and kindly reminded, “You don’t need to write the characters so neatly. Write a bit more casually like me, or the teacher will know.”
Xing Ye glanced and said, “I can’t even figure out what you’re writing.”
Sheng Renxing: “That’s the point!”
Sheng Renxing: “Hey, don’t just copy everything. It’s obvious you haven’t copied many assignments before.”
Xing Ye hesitated for a moment and changed the upcoming “c” to an “a.”
Sheng Renxing: “Don’t copy this question, there are too many words and there’s no time for it.”
Xing Ye turned the page without saying a word.
Sheng Renxing: “Hey.”
Xing Ye: “Shut up.”
Sheng Renxing couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you so harsh!”
Xing Ye, cold and unfeeling: “Say one more word, and I’ll drag you outside and beat you.”
Xing Ye gently held his hand down on the table and whispered, “Stop it.”
“Whose assignment is this, anyway?” Helplessly laughed.
“Mine!” Sheng Renxing grinned and tried to pull his hand away.
He tried to pull, but it didn’t move.
Xing Ye kept one hand on him and the other quickly wrote his English assignment.
Thirteenth Middle School’s top student, Xing Ye, was writing English at a breakneck speed, and no one would believe it!
Sheng Renxing laughed to himself.
Xing Ye looked very focused, much like he did last night when getting a tattoo.
You couldn’t tell at all that his other hand was using force to tightly hold his own hand.
Sheng Renxing watched his profile, his features were sharp, and his side profile was quite handsome, with a crisp jawline that connected seamlessly to his neck under the shadow, and the small mole on his neck was clearly visible.
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 hadn’t even realized it himself until he was suddenly awakened by voices in the classroom, realizing that he didn’t know how long he had been staring at Xing Ye.

Sheng Renxing licked his lips, and with his other hand, he picked up the milk bottle, took the last sip, and whispered to him, “Xing Ye,”
Seeing him looking over, “Do you want some milk?”
Xing Ye glanced at his milk bottle, and Sheng Renxing shook it, indicating it was empty.
He tilted his head, “Go buy some.”
“What about your assignment?” Xing Ye asked.
“Leave it,” Sheng Renxing said without even looking at it.
He pulled Xing Ye away without a word.
Like someone’s rushing to drink water after being thirsty for two days.
By the time Xing Ye had walked halfway, he already knew what Sheng Renxing was up to and followed him in silence and mutual understanding.
They walked in a secluded area, and there were hardly any people on the road.
When they reached a corner behind the building, Sheng Renxing reached out to pull Xing Ye over – but suddenly paused,
The guys from the basketball team who they had played with before, including a few other guys, were there smoking.
“…”
“…”
The guys from the basketball team looked at Sheng Renxing, then at Xing Ye behind him. For a moment, no one said anything.
The guy from the basketball team looked at them approaching aggressively, his puzzled expression lasting only a couple of seconds. Then he immediately smirked provocatively, “What’s the matter, you guys?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Sheng Renxing clicked his tongue disdainfully, pulled Xing Ye by the arm, and turned to leave.
The guy from the basketball team: “…”
They were too damn arrogant! Can this be tolerated?
After a brief glance in Xing Ye’s direction before he left, he laughed coldly again and sat down firmly, lifting his butt that he had started to raise.
Next time! They’ll definitely show them what they’re made of.
Sheng Renxing walked a while with an unhappy expression, and as they were about to reach the convenience store, Xing Ye suddenly hooked his neck and turned him to the side.
This side had a very narrow path, and after passing through it, it was quite secluded, with no security cameras.
They emerged from it.
And they saw the guys with dyed hair puffing away.
—So, this is where all the smokers come.
“…” Sheng Renxing frowned and was about to walk away.
However, the guys with Huang mao had already noticed them.
“Huh?” someone called. “What a coincidence?”
Dong Qiu smiled with a cigarette in his mouth, lifted his hand, and tossed the cigarette over.
Xing Ye caught it, then tossed it back, indicating that he didn’t want to smoke.
“Not smoking?” Dong Qiu asked.
Seeing that they seemed ready to strike up a conversation, Sheng Renxing, with a stern face, interrupted and said, “Why are you guys here?”
The group was taken aback.
“What else?” the guy with dyed hair raised the cigarette in his hand. “To smoke.”
Jiang Jing smiled and added, “What else would we be doing here?”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over them with a hint of suspicion.
Sheng Renxing wasn’t in the mood to chat with them now, so he pulled Xing Ye and turned to leave.
Jiang Jing stopped him. “Hey,” he said, “Happy birthday.”
Sheng Renxing paused in his steps. “Thank you.”
The guys with Huang mao also caught on.
A chorus of “Happy birthday.”
After saying that, they quickly reminded, “Don’t forget, birthday boy, that you’re treating us to dinner at the rooftop restaurant tonight.”
Sheng Renxing replied, “You guys are quite bold, aren’t you?”
Huang mao and the others chuckled, “We’re all brothers here, why hide from each other?”
Jiang Jing gestured with his hand, “It’s a tradition. When Xing Ye had his birthday this year, we might even had a steak feast.”
He said it with pride.
Xing Ye remained silent.
Sheng Renxing said, “See you tonight.”
Saying that, he tried to pull Xing Ye away again.
Huang mao asked, “After eating, are you going to karaoke or the bar?”
Dong Qiu said, “No karaoke, your last song almost sent me packing. I vote for the bar!”
Huang mao added, “What’s your opinion on Xu Song? I’m going to the bar too.”
Sheng Renxing was once again halted in his tracks, frowning, and waiting for their discussion to finish. Three votes for the bar, one vote for karaoke.
He turned to Xing Ye and asked, “What about you?”
Xing Ye replied, “Karaoke.”
Sheng Renxing decisively said, “Then it’s karaoke.”
The guy with dyed hair wailed, “No, it’s a tie! Let’s vote again!”
Sheng Renxing impatiently said, “Fine, it’s the bar, but you’re paying.”
Huang mao said, “Karaoke, I feel like listening to Xu Song.”
After all the discussion, neither of them lit a cigarette.
Only when it was over did Xing Ye, with Sheng Renxing, continue on their way.
From eager to weakening, Sheng Renxing’s earlier impulse had already worn off. Walking down this small path behind Xing Ye, he consoled himself, thinking, “Oh well, there will be plenty of opportunities after school!”
Halfway down the path, Xing Ye suddenly stopped and turned to face him.
“What-” Sheng Renxing bumped into him unexpectedly, took a step back, and began to ask. But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
Xing Ye held his arm to stop him from stepping back and pinched his cheek with one hand, leaning in to give him a kiss.
“!” Sheng Renxing stared in astonishment.
The path was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time. With Xing Ye blocking his view, Sheng Renxing couldn’t see if anyone had walked by ahead, but the laughter of the guys with Huang mao around the corner was clearly audible behind him.
As long as they looked down the street from the intersection, both of them would be fully exposed.
“There’s someone!” Sheng Renxing whispered.
Xing Ye responded with a quiet “Hmm” without changing his expression. “I’m watching.”
Then he leaned in again.
You could forget about seeing anything!
Sheng Renxing wanted to argue, but the words were trapped in his mouth, and he swallowed down the taste of milk, which wasn’t just in his mind.
Thank youu for the chapter 💖💖
Honestly I can’t thank you enough for translating this, thank you, thank you thank you!
Ty for translating! However, I do suggest getting a proofreader bc I noticed some parts weren’t quite right/some sections from the raws were left out.
