Wen Ai ran all the way back to the hotel. He went into the bedroom and plunged his head into the bed. After covering his head with the blanket, he felt calmer.

His mind was now messy. It was full of the scenes from when he was with Xu Changzhou and his mind kept repeating the song from just then. It was obviously the first time he heard it, but he remembered it so clearly that it’s making him crazy.

Wen Ai got up and washed his face in the bathroom with cold water and looked at himself in the mirror. He wondered why Xu Changzhou liked him? How much did Xu Changzhou like him? He didn’t seem to have done anything special for Xu Changzhou, though?

Wen Ai sighed: “System, let’s talk.” VZ8RIH

System’s tone was solemn: “You talk.”

Wen Ai: “I remember asking about the relationship line between the male lead and female lead, and you said that everything is okay?”

System: “I remember you asked me this question two years ago?”

Wen Ai: “Will you not monitor it if I don’t ask you? Is your RAM capacity only used for playing Snakes?”

U9vo1C

The system was silent.

Wen Ai was horrified: “I’m right? Your RAM capacity is so small?”

The system exploded: “So what if my RAM capacity is small? Does it use your energy to power it?!”

Wen Ai: “…No, no. Let’s get down to business.” lUn XY

System: “Hmph, what else can you say. You only have one way now, which is to try your best to break off the affection line.”

Wen Ai sighed again. Feelings are not as easy as twisting pens. Saying to break it off, so just break it off? What if you accidentally broke it?

When Xu Changzhou came back, Wen Ai was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa. After he heard the door opening, he immediately jumped up like a rabbit, took off his clothes, and lay on the bed to pretend to sleep.

Xu Changzhou’s footsteps approached him, and finally stopped in front of the bed. With the tone not different from usual: “It’s almost time for dinner. Get up to get dressed and go out.” hx CBp

Xu Changzhou looked directly into his eyes and said lightly: “I didn’t want to do anything. If what happened this morning makes you feel unhappy, I’m sorry, but I will not stop.”

I’m afraid you will be like this!

Like a deflated ball, Wen Ai got out of bed and walked into the bathroom: “You send the restaurant address to my phone. I will look for you after I finish the shower.” C6WGQN

He took a step back, so Xu Changzhou also took a step back: “Okay.”

After he finished showering, there was no one in the room. Wen Ai clicked on WeChat and forwarded the address sent by Xu Changzhou to Sun Mengzhen, and asked her to eat together.

At noon, Wen Ai and Sun Mengzhen appeared together at the seafood restaurant. Wen Ai let Sun Mengzhen sit next to Xu Changzhou, while he sat opposite Sun Mengzhen. He felt so guilty that he did not dare to look at Xu Changzhou’s face the whole time.

At first, Sun Mengzhen thought that Wen Ai only invited her alone. Who knew there was another person. But they were all classmates, so it was not a problem. But after sitting down, she found that Xu Changzhou’s air pressure was extremely low today, and she felt like a dark cloud was pressing down on her, so she wisely chose to shut up. Nn7Irv

For a while, the table was silent.

Fortunately, the waiter quickly came up to break the silence. Xu Changzhou ordered a bunch of Wen Ai’s favorite dishes, and also added a mango mousse.

If it’s in the past, Wen Ai would not have felt that something was wrong. But now, he would always feel that everything was a bit too ambiguous.

Wen Ai took a sip of water from the cup to hide his unnatural behavior. y5Gp84

Xu Changzhou suddenly said, “That is my cup.”

Wen Ai was taken aback. His eyes swept around the table and found that he had indeed taken it wrong. He put the cup back in embarrassment, and then called the waiter again immediately, asking the waiter to bring a new cup for Xu Changzhou.

Before long, Xu Changzhou wanted to drink water. His hand went around the new cup in front of him, and he just took the cup used by Wen Ai, which was far away, and drank all the water in it in one breath.

Wen Ai: “…” lNojH7

Sun Mengzhen: “…”

After the meal, Sun Meng made a really insightful suggestion that she wanted to stroll around, so she won’t be going back to the hotel with them.

Wen Ai was about to say that all of them should go strolling together, but Xu Changzhou beat him to it: “Goodbye.”

Sun Meng really ran away on her own. She could only eat the dog food till here. If she kept eating the dog food, she would get fat. 6ckHqL

Wen Ai glared at Xu Changzhou: “Why did you rob my line?”

Xu Changzhou’s voice was a bit cold: “You let me go first today to invite her?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wen Ai looked away with a guilty conscience: “No, ah. I met her on the road.”

Xu Changzhou looked at him for a long time, clenching and loosening his fist at his side, and finally said, “Just go back to the hotel.” jNzOXY

After a short winter vacation after the school trip, when Wen Ai returned to the class, he was already a graduating student who was about to take the college entrance examination.

On the first day of school, he ran to the last row to negotiate with Sun Mengzhen, hoping to change seats with her. Jiang Cheng was Sun Mengzhen’s deskmate. When he heard that Wen Ai want to change seats, he vehemently agree with the decision.

Sun Meng was really troubled. She didn’t want to sit next to Xu Changzhou to “enjoy” the cold pressure: “You should ask someone else. I don’t really want to change seats.”

No, it must be you. You are the FL and he is the ML. You two have to sit together. lt4zXe

There was a trace of begging in Wen Ai’s eyes: “I want to sit with my cousin. Xu Changzhou is definitely not willing to move seats, so only you and I can change seats.”

Although Sun Mengzhen knew that Wen Ai was not telling the truth, she was still mesmerized by his cuteness. When she finally reacted, Wen Ai had already happily returned to his previous table to move the seats.

Sun Mengzhen held her forehead. This is troublesome.

After Xu Changzhou came back from the toilet, he found that the person next to him was not Wen Ai. A thread in his mind broke. s325iX

Xu Changzhou looked for Wen Ai in the last row, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him out of the classroom. Jiang Cheng slapped the table and stood up. He then stopped Xu Changzhou: “Snatching someone in front of me, do you wanna be beaten? Let him go!”

Xu Changzhou’s face was grave and stern. His voice was cold: “Get out of the way.”

Jiang Cheng rolled up his sleeve and punched out his fist. Xu Changzhou moved his head to the side and pulled Wen Ai behind him. Then he returned Jiang Cheng’s punch.

The two people fight from inside the classroom to the outside of the classroom, from the corridor to the top of the stairs. They attacked hard as if they were venting some emotions. At first, some people went up to break up the fight, but the result was when they walked over, they immediately flew out. One, two, three, and gradually no one dared to come forward and persuade them. 5lrh3F

Wen Ai was completely flabbergasted at the side. The two of them hadn’t talked much before. Where did this big feud come from?!

Wen Ai didn’t dare to be idle, so when he saw the opportunity, he went up and hugged Xu Changzhou’s waist and dragged him back: “Are you crazy?!”

Seeing Wen Ai come, Jiang Cheng stopped his hands for the fear of hurting him.

Xu Changzhou also relaxed his body, letting Wen Ai drag him to the corner of the stairs. nSEkQV

Wen Ai looked at Xu Changzhou’s face. The corner of his mouth was split, and his right cheekbone was also purple. He was in a difficult position: “Is it interesting to make yourself look like this?!”

Xu Changzhou lowered his head to look at him: “Why do you want to change seats?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wen Ai pursed his lips: “I sat next to you to influence my learning.”

Xu Changzhou hooked up his lips, but there was no warmth in his eyes: “Do you think you can avoid me by changing seats?” t1JgdI

Wen Ai’s scalp numb: “What do you mean by hiding? You’re saying things too seriously.”

Xu Changzhou took a step closer to Wen Ai: “Why can’t you accept me?”

Wen Ai held back for a long time and finally pushed him hard. He said in disgust: “Are you worthy?!”

After that day, Xu Changzhou never came to look for Wen Ai again. When they unavoidably met, he just nodded and passed by. 4dPh3z

 

T/N: Btw, thank you all for the comments in the previous chapter~~~:blobkissblush:

Translator's Note

Wen Ai wanted to ask them to stroll together but XCZ got the first word in and “rob” Wen Ai’s speaking turn. I dunno the better English phrasing. Please enlighten me.

Translator's Note

They were hit by JC and XCZ till they flew like in anime.

  4. Omo that escalation tho…

    I think instead of “rob my line” maybe “steal my line” would work better in this case?

    Thank you for the chapter!

    • Yeah. I was contemplating using steal instead of rob but the Chinese raw used 抢 which is usually translated as rob so I just went ahead with rob lol. Thank you tho. I will use “steal” instead when a similar sentence is used hehehe😁

  5. I love WA but I hope he has to grovel a bit to get back into XC’s heart. Ha, this is so annoying, his words were so harsh. JC, you freak you can’t fall in love with your cousin. It’s too much please fall in love with someone else and take your bro-con somewhere else!
