I Have A Pair of Yin-Yuan EyesCh4 - Class Monitor, Do You Have an Explanation?

When Xu Xing awakened his extraordinary ability, he originally panicked and felt fearful. Fortunately, the red string was not too troublesome  and had no effect on his daily life. He could ignore the red string’s presence, but he hadn’t expected the red string to be concealing such danger.  V0ntfy

If he met Lu Che in the future, he would be forced to ‘throw himself’ into his arms. There was no way, no way. 

Xu Xing’s heart suffered, at his wit’s end. That night, as he lay tossing and turning, unable to sleep on his top bunk, the chatter coming from all directions in the dormitory made him even more restless.

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, telling himself that he would absolutely not go within two meters of Lu Che in the future. Even if he fell, he could only fall on the flat ground, throwing away the last shreds of his straight guy’s dignity. 

Early morning, the next day. 67StYh

Xu Xing walked towards the classroom while nibbling on a piece of French bread. Just as he left the dormitory, he ran into Xiao Shun in the corridor — the Xiao Shun who was in the same miserable ‘chrysanthemum swallowing red string’ situation he was in. 

Xu Xing swallowed the dry bread and quickly ran up. When he reached Xiao Shun, he called out in greeting: “Good morning~”

When Xiao Shun heard him, he turned in surprise and politely replied: “Good morning to you as well.”

Xiao Shun wasn’t tall; about 1.7 meters. When he spoke, he was accustomed to averting his gaze and avoiding others’ direct gazes. He wasn’t very familiar with Xiao Shun; the furthest their interactions had ever reached was nodding and greeting each other. They really couldn’t branch out to other common topics — Xu Xing would have never thought, their common topic would start with chastity and men.

Xiao Shun and Xu Xing walked towards the academic building in silence. 

Xu Xing was wallowing in misery, and Xiao Shun wasn’t good with words.

It was just around 6:30, and the dormitory’s corridors and passageways were almost silent. There were a few occasional conversations coming from inside the rooms. 

Xu Xing just realized that Xiao Shun was holding the key to the classroom in his hands and shouldered the heavy burden of opening the classroom in advance everyday. The reason why he had gotten up so early was to reduce the 50% chance he had of running into Lu Che in the dormitories to 0%.  FGsP7y

“That’s right, that……Class Monitor.” 

The silence was first broken by Xiao Shun. 

Xu Xing turned his head: “Ah?”

Xiao Shun said: “Have the public facilities in our classroom been repaired? It would be best to confirm the repairs for a few of the fans and projectors. The screws also need to be retightened……” 86uABS

“Oh,” Xu Xing felt Xiao Shun’s conversation starting skills were truly unique. He responded, “The school has a plan for it. During the few days we’re on vacation, there should be a maintenance worker coming to confirm.” After school started, he wouldn’t apply for repairs unless there was a malfunction.

Xiao Shun nodded: “Oh, so it’s like this.”

Xu Xing looked at him and wanted to say something, but hesitated. He coughed, then turned to look forward.

He really wanted to talk to Xiao Shun about the yin-yuan strings, but this topic was even more unusual than repairing a fan and it wasn’t easy to find an opening. He couldn’t directly ask the other: Have you regularly fallen into a male classmate’s embrace in the past two days? FzEYcg

He guessed he would be regarded as a mental case. 

Xu Xing could only drop the subject. 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It was Saturday; the whole school was empty and had fallen into silence. There wasn’t a bell for classes, and there wasn’t any broadcasted music after the second class. Even the cafeteria, where the snack counter was normally packed and took half a day to check-out, was very quiet. The loud proprietor was lecturing her own child, the unlucky seven-year-old who had started to make trouble right after vacation.

There was only a group of confused “third year” youths like Xu Xing left in school. Though, making up a missed class on Saturday was an additional task, it had always been this way. Fortunately, there were only two classes in the afternoon, so even if the students had been stripped off a day of their vacation, they were content and satisfied.  WqtwMB

Before class, Xu Xing stood in line beside the water dispenser to get water. There was another boy standing in front of him beside Fu Dai, who was holding a soft green thermos. Xu Xing thought it felt very familiar; after all, he had seen the thermos on the desk in front of him for an entire year. There were even times where it blocked his view of the teacher’s podium: the other boy held two water cups with the same pattern but different colors. Xu Xing saw that after the boy finished getting the water, he turned around to place the cups on the desks of the two girls in front of him, the three of them chatting and laughing. 

Xu Xing couldn’t help but take a peek. The boy and one of the girls were connected chest to chest by a red string, but the other girl’s red string was tied to the boy’s angle. 

He “tsk”d: How tragic. 

Xu Xing had originally thought of the red line wrapped around the ankle as “A is secretly in love with B, and A and B’s relationship had a chance of upgrading to a heart to heart connection at any time”. Now, he noticed that it wasn’t really the case. Xu Xing also connected it to the two bundles of red strings at Lu Che’s feet; he thought, this situation was also unspeakable.  B7TnXr

Xu Xing had just gotten his warm water and was returning to his seat when he suddenly saw Lu Che coming in his direction from the corridor. Xu Xing wordlessly turned around and immediately walked off in the opposite direction. 

Lu Che: “……”

Xu Xing was walking towards the back door with his school bag on his back when his mobile phone vibrated and rang out. With a lowered guard, he ducked his head down to fish for his phone. It was just at this time that he saw someone diving into his field of vision out of the corner of his eye and he couldn’t dodge. He thought  he was going to crash into the tall, dark figure, but who would have imagined that a sudden, overwhelming strength dragged Xu Xing back —

Before falling back, Xu Xing knew that it was all over — he was about to achieve a Combo x4. 

When his butt hit the ground, Xu Xing instantly blurted out apologies: “I’m sorry!”

His apologies were repeated over and over, all his words were 'sorry', 'I apologize', 'I'm sorry', 'sorry', 'sorry' . All the same phrases, no matter how sincere, it would become a cliche; it was enough for ears to ring.  6M2Rnv

But after Xu Xing finished reacting instantly and apologizing. He suddenly realized that the feeling under his butt wasn’t quite right: the rigid, ring shaped thing under his butt completely covered it. 

Xu Xing looked down and, with a despairing expression, saw what he was sitting on was a trash can.

“……”

Damn the trash can!  vEDJVy

He was endlessly embarrassed and put his hands and feet on the ground to get up, only to see a figure squat down beside him and saw a smile on the typically expressionless face. 

“Class Monitor, who are you apologizing to?”

“……”

Lu Che was in a half-squat and towering over Xu Xing, who had landed himself in an awkward position, meaning, he had no intentions to help him up. APbuWR

Lu Che’s words also unexpectedly made Xu Xing think that the tone seemed pleased: This was to see who would purposely bump into him or something; no one was bumped-into but he unexpectedly apologized first. 

Fortunately, it was only because there were few people in the classroom at this time that Xu Xing’s unfortunate appearance didn’t cause him to become a laughingstock. He got up, fuming with rage, and patted the dust off his butt. He ignored Lu Che, ignoring him and not arguing. 

Lu Che straightened up and causally pushed both hands into his pockets, mocking: “Luckily, I dodged quickly.” 

Xu Xing: “……”  Mtqo4E

With this phrase, Lu Che’s ridicule was also very clear. After all, he had bumped into him four times in two days. He had just embarrassingly fallen into a trash can and subconsciously incessantly apologized — no matter who looked at it, it seemed like a compensation scam he had planned for a long time. 

Xu Xing hatefully fumed with gritted teeth, but was left with only unspeakable bitter feelings. He couldn’t stand firm and say he wouldn’t fall into Lu Che’s arms again. On the contrary, he could definitely say that there would be another time. 

Xu Xing was ashamed into anger, and awkwardly reluctant to admit his wrongdoing. He hatefully spit out: “You’d better dodge quickly every time.” 

As soon as he said this, Xu Xing regretted it. 0dZ3iq

Damn, wasn’t this just inadvertently admitting that he was deliberately falling into his arms?! 

Although, his original intentions were to fall flat on his back on the ground rather than into Lu Che’s arms. 

Lu Che wasn’t angry, but laughed. He had probably never met such a shameless scammer. 

The laughter was tossed to the back of Xu Xing’s mind as he left in a hurry.  HL7wyp

.At home on Sunday, Xu Xing sighed heavily and paced back and forth. On seeing this, the Xu parents felt endlessly distressed yet especially happy. They felt that their carefree son, after rising to become a third year, finally knew what it meant to be nervous and anxious. 

Xu Mother purposefully gathered a pile of tutoring materials for Xu Xing, saying how Xu Xing’s sister had left those materials and her notes. Her eldest daughter’s university entrance exam books and the tutoring books she had used had soared in value and were not disposed off as scrap. 

Xu Mother placed the tutoring books on Xu Xing’s desk, and then turned around to make him a cup of tea. She whispered: “If you encounter any problems, just call your sister and ask her. She just finished the university entrance examinations, and she still knows a lot. She would know how to manage the pressure of being a third year.” 

Xu Xing: “……Alright.” ZCboUs

He was embarrassed to say the reason for his misery wasn’t because of a difficult problem in his textbook, and was also embarrassed to say he had flipped to a little secret in his sister’s tutoring book — where a whole page of cao-ni-ma had been copied over, with the last sentence being “Yi Ze ate X”. 

Xu Xing’s elder sister was a quiet, but excellent student. She was a good daughter in their parents’ eyes when nine out of ten of the third years were chasing after puppy love.

Xu Xing didn’t know who Yi Ze was. 

But now, he wanted to copy over a whole page of cao-ni-ma, so that he could make Lu Che go eat X too.  BT mto

The same evening. 

Xu Mother made a table full of rich dishes and called Xu Xing over for dinner.

Xu Father took his seat first, as Xu Mother was still busy in the kitchen. The yin-yuan string binding the husband and wife was very clear. 

Xu Xing listlessly stepped out of his bedroom, ignoring the red string’s existence, and walked over with his head bowed. As a result, he stumbled over the red string, unguarded, and nearly fell. aDjy1b

“Hey—”

Xu Father turned to see Xu Xing steadying himself against the chair, seemingly standing perfectly fine but half bent and his dangling arm formed into a fist. He asked: “What happened?”

“Nothing! I’m going to the bathroom.” 

Xu Xing extremely urgently left this sentence and immediately ran to the bathroom.  KI9Uab

His hand absolutely wasn’t curled into an empty fist, but was touching his parents’ red string in his hand.

Finally!

He could touch the red string again!

Xu Xing was afraid the lifespan of the red string would pass again in a few minutes. His first reaction was to rush to the bathroom, lock the door, and to turn around and look into the mirror. WgdoTr

The red string was as light as a feather and gracefully fell down behind him.

Xu Xing couldn’t touch the red string using other objects. He pinched the red string with his fingers, yet couldn’t free himself. Without any other options, he grabbed the red string and looped it tightly around his wrist twice. He grit his teeth and pulled outwards — 

Sssss……”

An unbearable pain instantly crippled his arm strength. mHA2fl

Xu Xing grimaced in pain; the pain had immediately shot towards his heart, as if he had eaten some wasabi. The pain was real and quick.

He didn’t care about shame anymore; he took off his pants and with a glance, saw that the red string was undamaged.

Xu Xing’s face scrunched up and he stared at the red string behind him in a complicated mood. 

What should he do? 4hwArd

He thought about how he had helplessly fallen into Lu Che’s arm these past two days and the phrase that Lu Che had mocked him with that afternoon: “Luckily, I dodged quickly”. It really was a terrible experience to be completely trapped by the “string”. 

After considering the matter over and over again, Xu Xing still wrapped the thin red string around his palm, clenched his teeth, and pulled at it again. This time, the amount of strength he used wasn’t as high as before, but the pain that stabbed into his heart made him choke. The acute pain lasted longer, and his forehead was clammy and dripping with sweat. His entire body contorted in pain, and stars burst into his vision. 

He looked back and saw that the red string’s and the palm’s love string’s lines were identical and overlapped together, emitting a faint red glow. 

He heard Xu Mother shouting outside: “Xu Xing, are you finished?” EfLq6I

He couldn’t muster up the spirit to respond. 

Xu Xing crouched on the ground, waiting it out for a little while, and could only endure the finger-gnawing pain with great difficulty. Then, he washed his face, wiped off his cold sweat, and went back to the table as if nothing had happened; he absently finished his meal. 

While he was being driven back to school by Xu Father, Xu Xing worried: His plan to pull out the red string clearly hadn’t worked, what could he do……

The rainbow of lights outside reflected chaotically on his face, illuminating and darkening it.  DqZCtJ

Xu Xing furrowed his brows. He had no clue. 

The school’s regulated evening self-study hours started exactly at seven o’clock.

When Xu Xing arrived in class, he was already a few minutes late. The teacher was standing at the classroom’s back door, holding the week’s attendance sheet. When he saw Xu Xing, he grabbed his ear: “Class Monitor, it looks good being late on the first day of self-study.”

Xu Xing wailed then smiled: “I needed to answer the call of nature; it will not happen again.”  QSmCRo

The teacher snorted, then touched his own chest and said: “There are important physics problems on the blackboard in the back. Finish a problem every day, please remember to take a look.” 

Xu Xing repeatedly answered “Yes” with a proper manner, and Teacher Xu sidestepped to let him in. 

Xu Xing entered the classroom. With a glance, he could see that aside from Ke Di’s and Zou Mang’s two empty seats by the windows in the corner and Fu Dai’s empty seat, the class was almost full.

The reason Fu Dai’s seat was empty was because the person had occupied Xu Xing’s seat. He was leaning over the table, fingers wrapped around a strand of beautiful hair from Xiong Huan’s ponytail. He was quiet, neither noisy nor causing a disturbance.  Hmza2T

Xu Xing: “……”

His line of sight shifted and turned to Lu Che, who was lying over the desk, sleeping — the red string was tied into a bow, and seemed like a seaweed floating in water, wavering in the air and flowing freely. 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xu Xing’s heart jolted, and he walked towards Fu Dai’s seat in front of the back blackboard and sat down beside Lu Che. 

He stealthily took out a sheet of looseleaf paper and a pen from his school bag to pretend, but was afraid that his movement would wake Lu Che up.  uC ZTD

The pen and paper were ready. As guilty as a thief, Xu Xing first looked around for movement around him —

The teacher had already returned to the podium from the black door, having moved a chair to the front to sit in front of the class.

There was a teacher present; the entire class was silent, some people were immersed in studying, and some people were playing mobile games.

No one would notice what was going on by his side.  isazJC

Xu Xing’s gaze was fixed on the bow that was fixed on Lu Che’s pants. The two strands of string coming from the middle of the bow seemed to be tempting him to pull them. 

In fact, Xu Xing was still a little hesitant. After all, the pain left behind by pulling the red string tonight was still vivid. He was afraid that the pain from pulling the bow tie would make Lu Che roar in pain. However, he still had a glimmer of hope: the bow was tied, so maybe it wouldn’t hurt to untie it?

With that glimmer of hope in mind, the right time, and the right location, Xu Xing forced down his urges. In the end, however, he moved. 

He used his own body, his school bag, and the desk in front and behind him to form a tight circle. Then, he nervously reached out and seized the red string in front of Lu Che’s body. ZuT 9E

As a result, in the second before Xu Xing’s fingers came close to it, the bow that was originally fluttering freely suddenly was like a leaky balloon and wilted to hand on the □□.

Xu Xing: “……”

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of pulling the rest string.

XU Xing didn’t dare to sigh. He used his thumb and his index finger to twirl the bow’s end while worrying that a careless action would alert Lu Che. Sk2X9U

The red string that was as thin as a rice flour noodle was light and smooth. Xu Xing had spent a lot of effort and finally, with the help of his flexible little thumb, skimmed across the fabric of the school uniform pants like a dragonfly, hooked onto an end of the bow, and steadily twisted it between his thumb and index finger. 

He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He pursed his lips and lightly pulled on it, trembling with fear. He was overjoyed to find that — one of the loops in the bow had been loosened quite a bit by his tug! 

How! Ever!

Xu Xing wasn’t even happy for three seconds before his right hand, which was trembling slightly and holding onto the red string, was suddenly firmly seized.  IqpTwE

Xu Xing stared blankly. Lu Che had already raised his head and easily grabbed his right hand.

Lu Che’s face was shrouded in a haze, and Xu Xing flushed in embarrassment.

With the wrist firmly grasped, the heat that was being transferred from his palm proclaimed that the summer temperatures hadn’t been dissipated by the few early breezes of autumn. 

The corners of Lu Che’s lips curled up, and opened his mouth with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: “Class Monitor, give me an explanation?”  s5z6Wm

“……”

Xu Xing’s mind was blank.

Suddenly ——

Under his gaze, the red string that had been halfway wound between his fingers completely disappeared. dGDNEd


More mishaps with Lu Che~ ⁽˙³˙⁾

Translator's Note

“对不起”、“抱歉了啊”、“不好意思”、“对唔住”、“Sorry” -> all technically different ways to say “I’m sorry”, but there are only so many ways to translate that in English

Translator's Note

Like purposefully setting up an “accident” where someone appears to be injured and demanding compensation

Translator's Note

草泥马 -> used to avoid censorship on the Internet

Translator's Note

啮指心痛 -> It’s based off a story, but basically a woman believed that the blood of the son and mother was linked, so she bit one of her fingers with her teeth to call over her son, who then felt a sudden burst of pain in his heart.
