Mi Le looked at the row of red envelopes on WeChat. For some reason, he kept feeling a bit amused.
After his fingers hesitated over the screen for a long time, he saw another message pop up: You’ve accepted all of the red envelopes. Can you reply?
Mi Le: Okay.
Tong Yi: Can you give me one more word?
Mi Le: Sure.
Tong Yi: Look at how stingy you are.
Mi Le: [Slight smile]
Tong Yi: I have to go to training. Otherwise, my coach will pick me up and beat me.
Mi Le: Okay.
After putting down his phone, Mi Le rested for a while, then picked up his phone again to take a look. He repeatedly scrolled up and down the sparse chat records.
After reading for a while, he clicked on Tong Yi’s album again.
The latest post: None of you cause trouble for me! If you cause trouble, don’t include me! Serious warning! I’ll fly up and kick you!
He chuckled as he read. Even Tong Yi’s small feet kicking people had a natural comedic effect.
He was someone who looked particularly fierce, but once you became familiar with him, you would always be infected by his foolishness.
Soon, Mi Le began to worry. He realized that he had really been laughing and worrying because of Tong Yi recently.
This was really troublesome.
Forget it.
He wouldn’t care.
Either way, he wasn’t planning to keep enduring for much longer.
He wanted to resist.
If Tong Yi was still single after he succeeded, perhaps he could give it a try?

When Mi Le returned to the school, it was morning. He even attended a class, and then went to the drama club to watch rehearsals.
He sat in the audience, with a script on his lap. Several other drama club officers sat beside him, chatting about rehearsals.
At this moment, someone walked in and quickly walked towards them, coming over imposingly, as if to collect debt.
Mi Le turned around and saw that Tong Yi had actually come.
After Tong Yi arrived by their side, he saw several girls sitting in the front row looking back at him. He immediately said with displeasure: “Yes, I came again. I actually have the nerve to come over.”
The girls were a bit embarrassed by Tong Yi and simply didn’t speak.
Mi Le put down the script and beckoned to Tong Yi with his finger: “Come over.”
Tong Yi immediately followed Mi Le away obediently, as if listening to his master’s command. The two of them went to the audience seat upstairs.
This floor was a blind spot to those downstairs. Moreover, because the theater had not yet officially opened, only the two of them were here.
Because it had just been built, there were no surveillance cameras here.
Couples within the drama club often came here for dates.
“What do you want from me?” Mi Le asked Tong Yi, after sitting down.
“I asked Liu Xu to apologize and repay the two people from the sports department. I also had her record a video apologizing to you. I came over to show it to you.” Tong Yi sat next to Mi Le, took out his phone and found his chat with Liu Xu, and opened a video for Mi Le to watch.
When Mi Le watched the apology video, he carefully examined Liu Xu’s appearance and found that she was indeed seventy percent similar to Tong Yi, with the same charm in her eyes and facial contour.

“I promise that I won’t have any flirtatious relationships with other girls, okay?”
Mi Le couldn’t help but take a second glance at Tong Yi because of this answer. He asked strangely: “What kind of guarantee is this?”
“That’s true, it’s not rigorous enough. I promise I won’t flirt with any boys either, okay?”
Mi Le found this inexplicable: “What are you promising me this for? Does who you’re flirting with have anything to do with me?”
“So that you won’t be unhappy.”
“I…” Mi Le wanted to deny it, but later realized that he was indeed quite unhappy.
He thought for a while, but couldn’t come up with a reply.
Tong Yi put his phone into his pants pocket and also leaned his chin on one hand.
This made it seem like the two of them were leaning against each other.
“I’ve never coaxed anyone like this in my whole life. You’re really the first one,” Tong Yi sighed.
“Should this be my honor?”
“Yes, you should feel happy.”
Mi Le couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Tong Yi, then asked: “Do you have anything else to do?”
“I came all this way, but you’re just going to say a few words to me?”
“Or else what? What else do we have to talk about?”
“Let’s talk about life, the future, or the inner confusion of teenage boys.”
“Such as?” Mi Le asked sulkily.
“Ah… do you have any thoughts about dating someone?” Tong Yi asked very bluntly, without beating around the bush.
“Why are you asking this?”
“I’m just asking.”
“No.”
“Oh.” Tong Yi nodded.
Mi Le waited for a while, but Tong Yi didn’t say anything more. He couldn’t bear it anymore and cleared his throat, asking: “What about you?”
“If you won’t date, then I won’t date,” Tong Yi replied very naturally.
“What does it have to do with me whether you date someone or not?”
“It has a lot to do with you!”
Mi Le suddenly felt a tremble in his heart and felt a bit uneasy. For an instant, he became a bit reserved.
Was it a hint?
What did Tong Yi mean by this sentence?
Were straight men so unreliable when they spoke, that they dared to say anything?
Could Tong Yi also be interested in him? Otherwise, why would he coax him like this?
Impossible… Tong Yi was so straight. How could he have any thoughts about boys?
However, Tong Yi’s actions were also too obvious. It was difficult for Mi Le not to misunderstand.
Could Tong Yi be friendly towards everyone, and flirt with both men and women?
Damn it…
In a short moment, Mi Le’s mind was racing. He had already speculated on many possibilities.
But he negated them all one by one.
Mi Le asked again: “Then what if I dated?”
“Then I’ll probably date too.”
“Do you have to compete against me in everything?”
“It’s probably… a tacit understanding. If we’re single, we have to be single together. If we’re dating, we have to date together. We’re all good brothers, sharing joy and sorrows. Don’t let anyone fall behind in this matter.”
“Aren’t you good brothers with Li Xin? Why don’t you also date when he’s dating?” Mi Le had a lively mind. He immediately thought of Tong Yi’s true brother.
“How does his dating have anything to do with me?”
“Then why does mine have anything to do with you?”
“It’s related to you. Don’t you understand our relationship to the end?”
“Are you going to the end with a group of people or just me alone?”
“Just you.” Tong Yi kept staring at Mi Le, his gaze burning, causing Mi Le to feel anxious.
His heart was pounding wildly, and he was panicking all over. Was Tong Yi here to confess?
“It’s like you’re confessing. Are you teasing me?” Mi Le once again put forward his conjecture.
“I’m not confessing for now. Let’s talk about it later.” Tong Yi was not confident that his confession would succeed now. He would first suggest up to that point.
Yes!
That’s right!
I’m also interested in you!
Don’t feel bad. It’s not one-sided.
As long as you want to date, just give me a glance, and we can stop being single together.
Mi Le pursed his lips and sat in the chair, no longer daring to look at Tong Yi. He planned to wait until his heart rate calmed down before speaking.
Tong Yi was also not in a hurry. He just sat next to Mi Le, occasionally glancing at Mi Le. He felt pleased just being with Mi Le in reality.
They had clearly kissed so passionately in their dreams, but in reality, they were still in the stage of mutual guessing.
“You…” Mi Le spoke again.
“Hmm?” Tong Yi responded in a nasally tone.
“What stimulation did you receive?”
“I was stimulated by you.”
“Firstly, you and I are not brothers. Don’t get too close to me. Secondly, whether or not you are dating has nothing to do with me. When I date, I also won’t tell you before I start. Thirdly, I am very busy right now. If you don’t have any serious matters, let’s end this conversation now, okay?” Mi Le resumed his cold mode.
Tong Yi knew that this would happen in reality, so he nodded: “Okay, okay, okay…”
The two of them went downstairs one after the other. Tong Yi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mi Le: “Why don’t I treat you to dinner?”
“Huh? What do you think I can eat?” Mi Le asked him.
Standing in the stairwell like this, Mi Le needed to lower his head slightly to look at Tong Yi. This angle made Mi Le feel comfortable.
“How about I treat you to a movie?”
“I won’t do such a troublesome and time-consuming thing as driving fifty or sixty minutes into the city to watch a movie, then driving fifty or sixty minutes back.”
“Why are you so difficult to please?”
“Is this also my problem?”
Tong Yi scratched his nose in contemplation. He thought for a moment, then asked: “Shall we stroll on the fields at night?”
“The fields are large, so it’s convenient for us to fight?”
Tong Yi sighed. He lowered his head and saw the shoes on Mi Le’s feet, and his eyes immediately lit up: “Limited edition collaboration! I’ve tried to buy them for a long time, but haven’t bought them!”
“Oh… someone helped me bring them.”
“Can you still buy it?”
“Probably not.”
“Sell me your shoes.”
“What kind of joke is that?”
“Aren’t your feet one size larger than mine? I can wear it with an insole. I’ll pay three times the price, so can you sell it to me?” Tong Yi held up three fingers.
“Get lost!”
“Then why don’t you let me wear it and satisfy my craving?”
“No.”
But Tong Yi pestered him endlessly and lifted Mi Le up. He climbed up the stairs again, placed Mi Le on a chair, and then forcefully took off Mi Le’s shoes.
Mi Le was so angry that he kicked around a few times, but he couldn’t avoid him. Tong Yi snatched away one shoe, and he watched helplessly as Tong Yi put it on.
Tong Yi put on the shoes and frowned, “Why is it so much bigger?”
“Your feet have problems.”
“No, if it’s size 41, it wouldn’t be that much bigger if I wear it. Your shoes are at least size 43!”
In fact, last time, Mi Le had deliberately said a smaller size, because he didn’t want his feet to seem too big. He didn’t expect that it was still one size larger than Tong Yi’s.
Now, the truth was revealed. These shoes looked like mops when he put them on. When he walked, they slapped his heels with a clattering sound.
“Give me back my shoes.” Mi Le was already furious.
Tong Yi’s tongue was still sharp. As he returned the shoes, he muttered: “Why are your feet so big? Would it be unfair if I say that they were webs?”
“A chubby guy like you who weighs 200 pounds still has the nerve to talk about me?!” Mi Le immediately retorted.
“I’m not 200 pounds!”
“You’re more than 150, right?”
Tong Yi paused for a moment and immediately retorted: “I’m not fat. I just have muscles, and I’m tall.”
“You’re indeed over 150 pounds, aren’t you?”
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Tong Yi returned the shoes in a gloomy manner.
Mi Le was so angry that his stomach hurt. He put on his shoes and started fighting with Tong Yi.
Soon after, someone exclaimed: “The president is fighting with that person from the sports department upstairs!”
A bunch of people rushed over to help Mi Le, and Tong Yi was practically shoved out of the theater by everyone.
The girls who had been dissed at by Tong Yi before were extremely angry: “Don’t come back in the future. You always make the president angry!”
“So annoying. You came to trash this place, didn’t you?”
“Nuisance!”
Why did the confession scene suddenly evolved into a fighting scene with these two 😩
They really can’t go a day without fighting can they? The actual definition of a Tom and Jerry couple. 😂
I feel a little sad for Tong Tong. He has good intentions!
In my language there is an expression for what Mi Le is being: cu doce (sweet ass, it’s when someone stalls or doesn’t admit their feelings) is cooler in Portuguese 😂😂
Thanks for the chapter ❤️
Oh my goodness. I can hardly handle these two 😩
Loll what a half-confession 🤣 surprisingly smooth, at least for Tong Yi…
