In the end, no fight happened.
The next day, Sui HouYu felt sore all over and rested at home for the whole day on Sunday.
His manic disorder may not make him feel incredibly tired, but there was no way to ignore the body aches and pains!
When evening came, Sui HouYu wanted to look around and buy some means of transportation; otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go anywhere. Coach Wang drove them back after their training, but what about the next ones?
There were almost no taxis on the road here, and those that were there were deformed; the space was too small, making it uncomfortable for Sui HouYu to ride in.
There were also vans, but they worked like buses and brought people to the city and were not at all suitable as a mode of transportation for short distances.
After eating, he strolled around the neighborhood, planning to buy a motorcycle.
In the end, when he entered a store, he found that these motorcycles weren’t really that reliable, costing ¥6,000. Could such a motorcycle even be ridden? Sui HouYu did have one back home, but although he had not purchased the most expensive one at that time, the one he had bought cost ¥240,000.
He didn’t want to go home to get it and have his family find out, so he had to make do for now.
After thinking about it, he chose an electric bicycle that was the right size for him. He particularly liked it, as its appearance was quite handsome.
He wore a helmet and rode it back to the apartment. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw Hou Mo helping to move things downstairs, moving in the other direction little by little with a laundry bag in hand.
Hou Mo looked back at him and initiated a greeting, “Yo! Riding a little wasp back? How cute.”
“Cute? Don’t you think this bike is cool? ”
Hou Mo put down the bag and looked at the bike, hesitating, “Your bike… it’s for females, right?”
“It’s not!”
“Ay, you were scammed by the shop owner. Did they say the performance was better? Did you haggle the price?”
“Can the price still be negotiated?”
Hou Mo put down what he was holding and shouted behind him, “Auntie! I’ll help you move it later. My classmate has been tricked; I’ll need to settle the score.”
“Okay, you go!” This answer seemed to come from a thousand miles away. Sui HouYu couldn’t even see where the person was; he only heard the voice.
Hou Mo walked over and sat directly at the back of the bike. Settling his hands on Sui HouYu’s waist, he said, “Let’s go find them.”
“Don’t touch me; I’ll fall asleep easily.”
”Huh? Is that why you don’t want to be touched? You are not an insomniac; you just lack love.”
“It only happens with you!”
Hou Mo was surprised when he heard this. Remembering how Sui HouYu suddenly fell asleep before, he couldn’t help but mutter, “You should try experimenting with other people. Cast a wider net. Maybe it’s not just me.”
After he said that, he let go of Sui HouYu and leaned back, hands twisted uncomfortably at the back to hold onto the top-box, and said, “Alright, let’s go.”
Sui HouYu drove back to the dealership again.

After chatting with the boss for a long time, Hou Mo finally went back to Sui HouYu and asked, “Which bike was your second option?”
Sui HouYu pointed to one.
“Got it.” Hou Mo talked to the boss again.
In the end, Sui HouYu changed into a bike that was more suitable for men and even got it at a discount.
It was so affordable that Sui HouYu felt that this bike might not be reliable.
After they walked out of the shop, Sui HouYu asked Hou Mo, “Is this bike safe? It’s so cheap.”
“This is made in China. What you bought is not a brand, so there are no big advertisements. What you are paying is only for the materials and the production fee. It’ll be good to use for a few years without any problems, but if you want to pass it on to your children and grandchildren, it will take some effort.”
Sou HouYu stared at the vehicle for a while, hesitating before getting on, with Hou Mo following after.
The seating was on a negative slope, making Hou Mo slide down whenever he sat at the back.
Hou Mo was sitting so uncomfortably that he couldn’t help but complain. “It’s not that I want to get close to you; it’s just really slippery. No matter how tight I grip the sides with my thighs, it’s no use. My martially trained legs are no match against gravity. Newton honestly did not deceive us.”
“Why do you talk so much?”
“What can be done? You are not going to make me return on foot, are you?”
Sui HouYu gripped the handlebars and said, “I’ll give it a try first; it shouldn’t be that different.”
“Okay, I’m watching you.”
Sui HouYu continued to drive, yawning the whole time. As they approached the community where they lived, the bike steadily stopped. At least they got home without him falling asleep.
Hou Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Sui HouYu’s body leaning back and falling into his arms, the other already asleep.
It wasn’t a joke?!
Hou Mo supported Sui HouYu and balanced the bike by putting his feet on the ground. He looked down at the person sleeping in his arms. He was torn: should he let him sleep for a while or wake him up?
Fortunately, it was already evening, and the breeze that blew from time to time was cool, not as hot as it was during the day. Even if they were close together, they wouldn’t feel particularly hot.
He took out his phone from his pocket to look at the time and leaned back on the top-box, deciding to let Sui HouYu sleep for a while.
Sui HouYu was a well-behaved sleeper. He did not snore or move around.
Hou Mo looked down at his arms and noticed that Sui HouYu’s eyelashes were particularly long. From his perspective, they seemed to be like a canopy.
This kid looked like a doll; how come he had such a bad temper?
The two of them stayed like that for ten minutes until Mother Hou came down to throw garbage and happened to see them.
Mother Hou was surprised for a moment, then said, “When you’re done, come home early.”
“Oh, okay.” Hou Mo casually agreed.
Less than five minutes after Mother Hou left, another aunt came and paused when she saw Hou Mo. She then whispered, “Are you busy? Can you still help me with my laundry loads?”
“Yes! I’ll continue to help you move it later.”
“There’s no hurry; I’m just getting ready to pickle some vegetables. I’ll send some to you when it’s done.”
“Okay.”
Being surrounded by acquaintances was pretty awkward; every now and then someone passed by and looked at them twice.
Hou Mo even heard a neighbor comment, “That kid from the Hou family has really found a boyfriend.”
“Just moved in; they work pretty fast.”
Hou Mo became a bit uncomfortable and quickly pushed Sui HouYu into waking up.
After waking up, Sui HouYu sat on the bike in a daze. He looked at Hou Mo.
Hou Mo stepped off the bike and leaned against a nearby wall, not moving from his position for a long time. “Fuck… my legs are numb.”
Sui HouYu stared at Hou Mo for a long time and then blushed, “Thank… Thank you.”
Then he quickly locked the bike and sprinted up the stairs.
Hou Mo was particularly anxious when he saw Sui HouYu go up. He wanted to chase after him, but his legs were still numb. He could only complain to himself, “Can’t you stay and help me move some things?”
After Hou Mo’s legs got better, he didn’t forget to help Sui HouYu reposition the bike so that it didn’t take up space.
Then he went off alone to help move the laundry bags.
When he got back home, Mother Hou seemed to have been waiting for him. When she saw him, she said seriously, “Hou Mo, sit down.”
Hou Mo obediently sat on the dining table.
“Even if you like men, you should still act within proper bounds. Don’t go after normal people, and don’t bend other people.” Mother Hou told him very seriously.
Hou Mo felt wronged after hearing this. “Ma, I know. There’s no need to think about it. How dare I fancy someone like him?! With a temper like that, if I really fell in love, then wouldn’t I be beaten eight times a day?”
“Then what’s going on between you?”
“Who knows why he suddenly fell asleep?” Hou Mo poured himself a glass of water and took a sip before talking about Sui HouYu’s strange sleeping habits, and after hearing the story, Mother Hou found it magical.
“Can you even fall asleep sitting on the back of a bike?”
“Yeah.”
“Isn’t that a sickness?”
“Who knows? I’m off to study; it’s almost time for the monthly exam.”
“Go ahead.”

Sui HouYu hugged a pillow and sat on his bed all night, eyes wide awake.
He kept thinking about how he unexpectedly fell asleep in Hou Mo’s arms. When he remembered it, he felt like he was going to explode!
It was outrageous, wasn’t it?!
What would Hou Mo think of him?
Again and again, he had made it obvious that he did not like others getting close to him, but he took the initiative to fall asleep in someone’s arms?!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Kill all the eyewitnesses!
The next morning, Sui HouYu finished washing up early and, carrying his backpack, decided to ride his electric bike to school.
When he went downstairs, he unexpectedly met Hou Mo, who looked like he was trying to escape as he explained to an old man, “I really don’t know how to slaughter a chicken. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this, uncle!”
“You are a big boy; can’t you do this?”
“I really can’t do it!”
The uncle didn’t make things difficult for Hou Mo anymore and handed him a bag. “There are four tea eggs in it. Take it and eat.”
“Hey, thank you, uncle.” Hou Mo was really not polite.
When he looked back, he saw Sui HouYu standing at the community’s gate, and Hou Mo calmly walked over and said, “You know how to tie a tie, right? Help me; I don’t know how to do it.”
Although the students of Fenghua were also issued the western-style uniforms of Lantau, the sports students of Class 17 had never worn them. They were an exception who could wear black sportswear exclusively customized for them throughout the whole year.
However, today was different. It was a Monday, and Hou Mo had to wear this formal suit when going on stage to read the reflection.
The school uniform on Hou Mo’s body had obviously been ironed, and after putting it on, it gave him a different style.
Originally, he was supposed to be a teenager bursting with fervor—the standard rascal type.
After putting on the school uniform, he undid two buttons on the collar of his white shirt, showing his unrestrained attitude. The tie was only hung around his neck, not tied.
Sui HouYu stared at him for a while, then walked closer to help him with his tie.
Seeming to find the open buttons a bit of an eyesore, Sui HouYu buttoned up one and then began to adjust the tie.
Standing in front of Sui HouYu, Hou Mo lowered his head slightly to make it easier. Looking up, he could see Sui HouYu’s serious face without any flaws.
If the tips of his ears weren’t tinged with a bit of pink, he wouldn’t have noticed Sui HouYu’s embarrassment.
It was the first time he had seen him so close. When he observed in more detail, Hou Mo was unable to find any flaws in Sui HouYu’s eyebrows and eyes. They were all meticulously crafted.
After tying it, Sui HouYu looked up and said, “Done.”
In an instant, two pairs of eyes were gazing at each other. Sui HouYu was suddenly so stimulated by Hou Mo’s gaze that he couldn’t control his strength and managed to squeeze the tie so tight that Hou Mo gave out a low grunt, his hand reflexively raising to loosen it with his index finger.
“Not so tight; I have a big Adam’s apple.”
Hohoho. I can see the sparks between them. 😏
