Functioning on conditioned reflex, You Liangxing could not help but think: Does that mean I’m allowed to video call you when your hair is washed? After snapping back to his reverie, he stilled, and reflected on what he was thinking exactly. Even if he had washed his hair, they were not familiar to the point where they could video call.
You Liangxing typed in the dialog box: After hurrying out of your house, it’s normal that your hair isn’t washed.
After reading his response, it felt like something was amiss. If it was meant to comfort Ah Sheng, it made it sound like it was extremely regrettable to him that they did not manage to video call. He tried again: Remember to wash your hair next time.
He paused to contemplate the sentence again. It was even worse. He changed it again: I didn’t wash my hair either.
… Despite changing his sentence a few times, why did all of them sound particularly strange? You Liangxing thought it over from many different angles before he finally decided on a reply: — Oh.
It was not that he was a bore; not saying words with ill-meanings was a force of habit.
It just so happened that Kang Shengzhe had never fussed about You Liangxing’s lack of words, in fact, he was accustomed to it. Thus, he found his own opener: — It’s such a pity, I feel like I just missed on a hundred million.
You Liangxing did not know how much of it was true, but the strange thing was that even though he knew that it might have been said out of courtesy, his mood cleared up significantly from that casual sentence alone.
His train of thought made a turnaround, and You Liangxing remembered the reason why he had initiated a video call: — Where are you? Did you happen to fall asleep outside?
Ah Sheng’s reply was delayed by a few seconds: — Ah…. En… No ah. 〖Serious Face〗
His response was the exemplar of ‘trying to hide the matter only to make it more conspicuous’, and it gave rise to a feeling of helplessness within You Liangxing.
— Forget it, go home now.
[Ah Sheng]: — Okay.
[Ah Sheng]: — If I don’t go back now, the sleepiness will escape me. I need to hurry.

Kang Shengzhe, who had not eaten breakfast for a long time, revealed a smile as he was rushing back. As he was running, he replied: — mo mo da.

One punch was enough, just one punch.
If he was not even allowed to punch it once, his whole body would feel uncomfortable.
Once his morning run concluded, You Liangxing’s schedule was not occupied in the least, and he remained idle until noon. Concurrently, [Ah Sheng] had just made up for the sleep he had missed and he came knocking on his WeChat.
[Ah Sheng]: — So bored.
You Liangxing himself was outside. With nothing on his agenda, chatting with others was considered the most appropriate pastime to while his time away. You Liangxing replied: — En.
Whenever most people said ‘en’ or ‘oh’, it usually signified the end of a conversation but when it was used on Kang Shengzhe, that was not the case. He could feel that Liang Liang was not like the majority; he did not reply in such a manner because he was unwilling to acknowledge something, rather, when he replied in such a way, it showed that that he was seriously waiting for him to finish speaking. Essentially, Kang Shengzhe felt that You Liangxing was actually very patient.
… Although he might not seem that way on the surface.
[Ah Sheng]: — Aren’t you going out today?
You Liangxing: I haven’t decided on where to go.
Kang Shengzhe suddenly thought of something: — Liang Liang, have you seen the pandas in Beijing yet?
You Liangxing: — No.
Liang Chulin did not have the zoo in his schedule, nor had You Liangxing suggested going. Truth to be told, he only remembered that there were pandas in Beijing after Kang Shengzhe had mentioned it.
[Ah Sheng]: — I really want to see it, but the time I have when I’m going to Beijing is too tight.
You Liangxing went quiet and asked: — Do you want to see them?
[Ah Sheng]: — ….. En?
[Ah Sheng]: — En??? Do you mean, is that what my heart desires??
[Ah Sheng]: — Are you that cool??
He was full of excitement and his happiness seemed to overflow from the screen. When those emotions were transmitted over, You Liangxing could not be bothered to refute with a question that struck at the meaning of Kang Shengzhe’s words, going along the lines of ‘who know what your heart desires’. Instead, he replied in a lukewarm manner: — Shut up, I wanted to see it.
[Ah Sheng]: –〖Covering Heart〗
[Ah Sheng]: — I suddenly felt the aura of an overbearing president assault my senses. It’s starting to seem like you are trying to attack and seize me, Liang Liang.
You Liangxing: ……
From the moment they met up until now, [Ah Sheng] had never maintained a degree of politeness whenever he was talking to him and he had consistently treated him as a close friend. Having realised that, You Liangxing raised an eyebrow, and he was no longer treated him courteously either.
— Shut your mouth and behave yourself.
[Ah Sheng]: –〖Hehehehehe〗Okie.
Since You Liangxing said he would go, he slipped his room card into his pocket and went out of the door to find the subway. The journey there took around an hour and due to his peak attractiveness and his tall and long stature, he attracted the eyes of many onlookers. Typically, You Liangxing would never glance sideways, but today, he would occasionally lower his head to look at his phone.
On WeChat, [Ah Sheng] was following him in real time.
[Ah Sheng]: — Have you went out? Are you on the subway?
As the subway was travelling there, You Liangxing took a picture of the advertisement outside the window and sent it. Afterwards, [Ah Sheng] sighed: — I’m looking forward to it~
From the beginning, You Liangxing’s heart had always been as calm as still water and he had no feelings for the trip. However, he did not know why but, a small sense of expectation germinated within him as Ah Sheng said that. It was undeniable that he was on his lonesome but it felt as if he was travelling with Ah Sheng who he had never met.
You Liangxing replied: — En.
When he lifted his head again, there happened to be an old lady who was looking at him and smiling with crinkled eyes.
With a face full of amicability, the old lady asked: “Girlfriend?”
You Liangxing did not make a habit of talking, and against the old lady’s kind expression, he did not respond at that moment. But before he could nod or shake his head, the old lady seemed to have found her answer and she started laughing.
“I knew it from a glance; you kept looking at your phone while suppressing a smile.” Seeing You Liangxing’s expression stiffen, the old lady hazard a guess: “Long-distance relationship?”
Afraid that if the topic continued to extend itself and he had no choice but to speak in the end, Yu Liangxing paused, gritted his teeth and nodded his head.

Wow, ch. 42, and this is the closest to progress that we have had.
hahaha that’s savage, but don’t worry, things pick up soon after!
And to be very fair to the author, she did warn everyone that it was a slow burn, of maneuvering from online to friendship and then settling into a relationship in what feels logical to the pair (who are both people who like being sure about something before they take the leap).
😂😂😂
