Xu Xing had received the “Don’t move” instruction, but his body was a step ahead of his brain and reacted. He shot up like a clap of thunder, so that it seemed like both his heart and body were resisting.
“Sorry……”
Xu Xing turned to apologize with an embarrassed smile.
Lu Che’s handsome face instantly became covered in dark clouds, making Xu Xing feel an ominous pressure on his shoulders.
The moment Lu Che warned Xu Xing to “Don’t move”, the rings on the pillar in the water game underwent a great turbulence. They shook left and right, and rose up and sank down, like a person who was in danger but still could be saved. However, the opposing forces lifted the oxygen mask and cut off their breath.
Lu Che lost this timed trial. He stared blankly, taking two seconds to digest the fact. Then he immediately turned to Xu Xing with a cold face and furrowed brows, and hissed: “Fuck — you ah.”
Although Lu Che didn’t complete the second half of the sentence, anyone could guess what his unfinished words were: I told you not to (damned) move, can you not understand human speech?
“……”
Little Grass Lu wasn’t only as cold as he was in legends, but also was very hot-tempered.
It wasn’t the first time that Xu Xing had heard words like “fuck”, “fuck your mother”, and other heated profanities, but it was the first time that he could discern a real sense of crisis from such words.
At this time, a boy from the very last row snatched the water game from Lu Che’s hands and interrupted: “The Class Monitor is actually my helper, hahaha. Lu Che, you would have never guessed!”
Lu Che then turned his attention to the mischievously smiling Ke Di, forcefully grabbing the water ring-toss game and speaking: “Scram, go take down the time again.”
Lu Che lowered his head and focused on the ring-toss. First, he used the left button to push up the rainbow colored rings in the same direction and loop it around the right pillar, and then repeated his motions in the other direction. Soon, there were only a few rings left.
It was those few that most tested his patience and luck.
Ke Di was draped over the top of the desk and giggled at Xu Xing: “Che Gē is just paranoid.”
“……oh.”
Xu Xing’s mood was very complicated.
Ke Di added: “Class Monitor should go play, we’re competing to see who can loop the rings around the pillar in the least amount of time.”
Xu Xing declined: “No, it’s time for class.”
Xu Xing didn’t have the least bit of interest in this kind of children’s toy. He was worried about just having sat on Lu Che’s thighs and having fallen into Lu Che’s embrace from the top of the stairwell earlier that morning. In the end, was it an unexpected accident and coincidence, or was it caused by the red string?
Xu Xing’s chrysanthemum clenched and a shudder went down his back. The more he thought about it, the odder he thought it was. He could only pray that it was all just his imagination.

Before he turned to leave, Xu Xing quickly glanced at Lu Che’s bow. At first, he thought it was hilarious for a red bow to be tied to the school grass’s crotch, but now he couldn’t laugh at all.

Fu Dai, this loitering child, was completely unscrupulous when chasing Xiong Huan, the female top student. On the first day of school, he took a new science course, which was required for the 2018 GaoKao. He sat behind Xiong Huan and gently poked her slim and straight back with a pen, frustrating Xiong Huan into giving him a lecture.
Fu Dai completely embodied the phrase “Learning is like hunger, humility is like foolishness“.

The top student Xiong Huan still carried the persona of a cold, goddess, but couldn’t ward off the other students’ busybody gazes. She was originally determined to ignore Fu Dai, but couldn’t, since his reasons were too honest. She was worried about how to deal with this boy.
When she saw Xu Xing return, she said to Fu Dai: “I haven’t done this problem, you can ask the Class Monitor to take a look at it for you.”
Xiong Huan’s voice was crisp and cold, with some ethereal charm. However, her words’ meaning changed in Xu Xing’s ears.
Fu Dai met Xu Xing’s eyes. After maintaining his gaze for two seconds, Fu Dai hissed and tore off a page of scrap paper, balled it up, and handed it to Xu Xing. He smiled and sincerely said: “Class monitor, help me throw out the trash.”
“……”
Xu Xing was afraid of facing Xiong Huan’s probing gaze, and he immediately, subconsciously took the paper ball from Fu Dai’s hand and turned around to walk away.
His footsteps stopped, because he saw Lu Che sitting in Fu Dai’s seat, his two long legs stretched out across the aisle and taking up most of the space.
Xu Xing still had some lingering fear and hesitated for a moment. Then, he turned around again and, like a terrified little milk cat, pretended to calmly walk towards the podium. He made a show of flipping through the logbook beside the blackboard. Only then did he skitter towards the back of the classroom.
Xu Xing strenuously avoided Lu Che, who was sitting close to the classroom’s back door. However, he noticed that the trash bin that was originally placed by the back door had unexpectedly been dragged to the very back of their group of four by Ke Di — who was lying on his back in his deskmate Zou Mang’s embrace. Ke Di had a leg crossed over the other and cracking melon seeds as he listened to Zou Mang plan out his schedule:
“Starting from today, you’re going to memorize 30 English words everyday, understand?”
“Is three a day okay?”
“No.”
In Zou Mang’s arms, Ke Di lifted his head, and his large and round, bright and dark eyes were especially youthful. He cracked open a full melon seed kernel and fed it to Zou Mang, trying to bribe him: “If not — five a day?”
Zou Mang was stuffed with a single melon seed, and his sword-like eyebrows furrowed. He paused for a moment, then said: “Fifteen.”
Ke Di wanted to bargain again, but Zou Mang suddenly pinched his lips, directly forbidding him from speaking. He could only emit a hum of protest.
Xu Xing stopped two steps away; he couldn’t help but stare at Ke Di and Zou Mang.
Ke Di and Zou Mang were both especially good at sports and were equally matched. However, Ke Di was a typical example of a sports student who attached great importance to sports and neglected academics, while Zou Mang’s academic achievements ranked in the upper-middle part of the class rankings, even ranking in the top ten of the class.
Ke Di’s performance was a common occurrence, and Zou Mang’s top notch academic performance wasn’t uncommon either. What was odd was the way that the pair interacted……
It really was somewhat ‘gay’.
In a complicated mood, Xu Xing threw the paper ball into the trash bin beside Ke Di, shifting his eyes and was about to walk away when he caught a glimpse of Lu Che standing up out of the corner of his eye. What was more offensively conspicuous was the bow hanging from Lu Che’s crotch — which suddenly glowed red.
Xu Xing immediately startled, his thoughts far from reassuring!
His shoulders trembled, his neck shrank back, and his right foot stepped back.
He watched on, helplessly, as the red string connecting them like a spring stretched taut. Xu Xing’s eyes widened incredulously. The next moment, the red string was like it had been pulled away in the opposite direction, springing back into its original shape. A strong power forcibly pulled him into Lu Che’s arms, so that they collided.
Xu Xing’s face bumped against Lu Che’s sturdy shoulder, knocking against his teeth and making them ache. He groaned, choking out a frightened: “Ou…..ch……”
His voice fell and rose, from restraining to ascending.
His breath also mixed with the faint scent of Lu Che’s laundry detergent.
Damn, he could also be tossed around like this!!!
Xu Xing’s state of mind collapsed a little. He had clearly already assumed a defensive position, but still couldn’t withstand the red string acting like a demon.
Lu Che: “……”
Xu Xing calmed down, and when the frightened and scatter spirits returned to their original places, he strove to remain calm and evaded his gaze. Embarrassed, he sincerely apologized: “I’m sorry……”
With one hand, Lu Che steadied Xu Xing, who had ‘thrown himself’ into his arms, and a few faint words escaped his thin lips: “Things shouldn’t be attempted more than three times, Class Monitor.”
The day wasn’t even half over, but Xu Xing had already ‘thrown himself’ into his arms three times!!! Even Xu Xing felt that his triple ‘Combo’ seemed like a deliberate scheme!
Xu Xing quickly pulled away from him, endlessly embarrassed and bit the tip of his tongue, incessantly repeating the phrase: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry……”
Xu Xing heard Lu Che’s hiss. Fortunately, at this time, he heard Tang Mian, who was standing outside in the corridor, call his name. He immediately took the opportunity to run and fled quickly from this troublesome spot beside Lu Che. He was afraid that the garishly beautiful red string would continue its tyrannical abuse.
Tang Mian stood outside in the corridor, enjoying the cool air. The location of this class was especially good. Even though they risked entering an oven during the May and June of next year, at least both sides were spacious and empty now. It gave them an excellent view of the front courtyard.
At this time, the first and second year little fresh meats were all gathered on the benches under the trees, waiting for their physical education class. The senior third-year students stood tall and looked far, like they were VIP guests at a military parade, sweeping their gaze over the little fresh meats.
With lingering fear, Xu Xing doubtfully walked over to Tang Mian, who patted him on the shoulder and said with a laugh: “I can see that Fu Dai really wants to swap seats with you.”
Xu Xing refused without the slightest hesitation: “That won’t do!”
Tang Mian leaned against the protective railing and smiled: “Oh, I didn’t expect you to have such feelings for Cong Cong.”
The ‘Cong Cong’ Tang Mian spoke of was Wang Zicong.
When they were dividing classes during their first year, a group of strangers familiarized themselves with each other, so there would inevitably be mutual nicknames. They always felt that as long as they could shout out each other’s nicknames, it would seem that their relationship was special.
So, Wang Zicong, this little chubby boy had the first nickname of “Little Prince“, immediately followed by his “Cong” being skewed into “Wang Zicong having the body size of two people”. What’s more, there was an advanced version when he advanced to the second year of high school. It came from a certain student’s teasing — “Wang Zicong is chubby again this semester and turned into a Wang Zicong”.
This was the origin of “Cong Cong”.
Xu Xing didn’t deny Tang Mian’s words. In fact, the depth of his feelings for Wang Zicong were another matter. The reason his first reaction was to strongly resist because he didn’t want to share a desk with Lu Che.
Xu Xing faintly sighed, his eyes unfocused and absentmindedly wandering between his junior schoolmates below. Tang Mian bumped him with her elbow, drawing his attention and saying: “Look at Ke Di and Zou Mang’s actions, tsk tsk tsk. I must have missed the fact that they were gay.”
Ke Di was a thoughtless, experienced player who specialized in teasing Zou Mang, the little proper student with a good family background. What’s more, Ke Di had a girlfriend. The two were remarkably similar to a real version of a fickle, coquettish shou x an honest, pampering, loyal dog gong.
There were a good number of girls in the class who loved to eat up this type of sports student CP. Additionally, they exchanged and bookmarked lists of similar JJWXC novels in their private QQ Messenger group chat.
The group name was fickle, but very cultured. It used to be called “Agreeing to Enroll 2018”, “I’ll Be Waiting for You at the Finish Line”, “The Racetrack is Very Long, You’re Very Wonderful()”, “Love in Track and Field”, etc.
Tang Mian was the owner of the QQ Messenger group.
Xu Xing followed Tang Mian’s gaze. Ke Di was still lying in Zou Mang’s arms in a ‘gay’ position.
Before Xu Xing could see the yin-yuan strings, he also thought that the pair’s actions were too ambiguous, but now he could stand up for their innocence. He resolutely told Tang Mian: “They just have a good relationship. You think too much.”
They didn’t even have a red string on their bodies; they shouldn’t have met their soulmates yet.
Tang Mian cast a sidelong glance at Xu Xing and coolly retorted: “How do you know they aren’t? A straight guy’s insight and intuition is the most unreliable. Of course, you wouldn’t perceive gay guys’ love. Otherwise, you would also have been able to sense it between them. Then, you won’t be too far from being a gay guy.”
“……”
Xu Xing refuted: “What’s wrong with my perception?”
Tang Mian oh‘d and asked: “Then I’ll ask you, do you think that Lu Che is handsome?”
Xu Xing was annoyed over this person and said with a cold expression: “I don’t think so.”
Actually, Xu Xing’s words were a bit untrue. As long as a person wasn’t blind, they would be able to see that Lu Che was very good-looking. His features were sculpted, and the temperament of his countenance was of the highest quality. However, Xu Xing had been greatly harmed by the red string, so he casually took his anger out on Lu Che.
He wasn’t blind, but was reluctant to admit it.
Tang Mian immediately snorted: “That’s not true. I’ll tell you that all of us girls think that Lu Che is handsome, so maybe ‘gays’ would also think so.”
“……oh.”
Xu Xing was speechless.
So, it was the prerogative of girls and ‘gays’ to praise Lu Che as handsome. He didn’t have a position to refute it, nor did he have the privilege to be unhappy.
I had to give in my laptop for repair and they replaced the keyboard (among other things), so now typing feels weird….˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^
Thank you for the update ❤️
Can’t wait for the moment the red strings got recognised.
That’ll be interesting.
Hehehe…
Thank you!
Thanks for the chapter~ ( ^ ♡ ^ )/
Thank you for the chapter!!😍😍
Do people really have such a strange logic regarding what is ‘gay’ and what not? :’D If I go with that than I’m hardcore homosexual lololololol
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
I’m a little confused, didn’t Lu Che say he wanted the teacher to arrange XX as his girlfriend?? Was that supposedly a joke? I don’t understand why he would even joke that way.
nope, Xu Xing is the class monitor so the TEACHER called his name after proclaiming she would find Lu Che a girlfriend. But the reason the teacher called his name was to tell him to go get the books. It was supposed to be a bit of an inside joke i’d assume for the author and reader because Lu Che’s ‘girlfriend’ is gonna be Xu Xing.
Oh, ok! Thanks!
That little string is too mischiveous… Lu Chen is gonna think Xu Xing likes him.
Thanks for the chapter!
Im confused!!!
what are his feelings for Wang Zicong??!!
