Locked chapter so no title orz
Ning Er no longer wants the lottery tickets. Avoiding Jiang Chen and Liu Xiaomeng’s locations, he left the arcade.
Shao Bohan caught up with him and said, “Did I guess right?”
Ning Er’s ears turned red, pretending not to have heard anything.
Shao Bohan continued speaking, but Ning Er ignored him. Helplessly, Shao Bohan laughed and said, “You look really good in those clothes today. You should wear them more often.”
Ning Er hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, “A coat that doesn’t even cover my butt… I don’t want to wear it.”
At first, Shao Bohan didn’t understand clearly, but once he did, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Ning Er blushed in embarrassment.
However, Shao Bohan found Ning Er’s small ears incredibly adorable.
After teasing Ning Er for a while, Shao Bohan stopped. He realized that when they were kids, it was fun to bully Ning Er, and seeing Ning Er in an awkward state made him happy. Now that they were grown up, he understood the concept of taking things step by step and no longer used childish methods to get Ning Er’s attention.
Ning Er was easily shy and quite timid. Although it was fun to tease and pinch him, if it was done too much, it could really make him explode.
After returning home, Ning Er received a WeChat message from Liu Xiaomeng. He simply replied, assuring her that he was in good health and she didn’t need to worry.
But shortly after, Jiang Chen also messaged him, excitedly saying, “I’ve already made plans with Xiaomeng to go to Jay Chou’s concert next month! Ahhh, Ning Er, thank you so much, bro! We’re good buddies for life! Even if we’re in different classes after sophomore year, you in the advanced class and me in the regular class, we’re still good brothers! Come hang out with me when you have time!”
Ning Er had initially made plans with Liu Xiaomeng for Jiang Chen’s sake, so he was naturally very happy that things were going well.
“Well, you should maintain a good relationship with Liu Xiaomeng. I’m not really close with her, so I can’t help you much more,” Ning Er replied.
The next afternoon, Ning Er was doing homework at home when his mom knocked on the door and entered, saying, “Xiao Er, Xiaohan is here to do summer homework with you.”
Ning Er’s body trembled, and he turned his head to look. Sure enough, Shao Bohan was wearing a white shirt, looking like a well-behaved and studious student. He held a few sets of papers and smiled at Ning Er’s mom, saying, “Auntie, no need to be so polite. I find it a bit boring to do homework alone, so I thought of doing it with Ning Er. If there are any difficult problems, we can help each other out.”
Ning Er’s mom praised, “I heard that Xiaohan got first place in the Yanzhong exam this time. That’s really amazing. Ning Er, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can trouble Xiaohan to teach you. Learn from him, Ning Er.”
Shao Bohan smiled faintly, “It’s nothing, Auntie.”
Ning Er felt wronged and frustrated, “!”
Shao Bohan wasn’t here to do homework together at all, he was simply here to copy Ning Er’s homework!
Shao Bohan brought several sets of English and math papers. As soon as Ning Er’s mom left, he decisively sat opposite Ning Er, spreading out the papers and looking up, saying, “Xiao Er, let me copy your homework.”
Ning Er was furious, “No, I won’t lend it to you!”
Shao Bohan raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t we agree that if I won in the final exams, you would promise me something? To let me copy your homework, right?”

“You definitely saw it.”
Shao Bohan replied, “Nonsense, I didn’t see the exhibition at all.”
Ning Er was confused.
Shao Bohan analyzed it logically, “Think about it. We just entered the exhibition hall and stayed for only ten minutes before leaving. How could I see anything? I didn’t see a thing. Oh, and I wasted over 500 yuan on the ticket. Xieo Er, you said you would accompany me to see the exhibition, but we didn’t see anything, so I have to settle for copying your homework.”
Ning Er, on the verge of tears, said, “…”
Ning Er has always been soft and has a good temper. He doesn’t know how to get angry. Shao Bohan is quite familiar with him, and when he sees Ning Er pursing his lips, he knows that Ning Er feels wronged but won’t speak up.
Although pitiful little Ning Er is adorable, it’s still heartbreaking to see him upset.
Shao Bohan self-reflected for a second, but in order to be able to come and see Ning Er every day throughout the summer vacation, he continued, “How about this? I did see the exhibition for ten minutes, so let’s consider that condition half fulfilled. Xieo Er, I’ll copy your English homework, but I won’t copy the math. Do you want to copy my math homework? I’m fast at doing math.”
Ning Er replied, “…”
He wouldn’t copy the homework!
Shao Bohan really has thick skin and is shameless to the core. In the end, Ning Er reluctantly took out his English papers for Shao Bohan to copy.
Ning Er never copied homework. There was one time in junior high when he stayed behind in the classroom to work on a blackboard report, and a few students stayed a bit later. He couldn’t resist the temptation and copied a classmate’s math homework for the first time. Little did he expect that on that day, that his mom would come to his school to find him when she realized it was getting late. She walked in through the back door of the classroom and happened to catch him in the act of copying homework.
In front of their classmates, Ning Er’s mom didn’t say anything, but she scolded him severely when they got home.
Since then, Ning Er never copied homework again, but he was often asked by Jiang Chen and others to lend them his homework.
In order to forget the despicable liar sitting in front of him, Ning Er lowered his head and focused on his math homework. At first, he was lost in his thoughts, but later on, he wholeheartedly solved the problems, completely forgetting Shao Bohan’s presence.
Little did he know that Shao Bohan quickly copied the English homework and discreetly raised his gaze, looking at Ning Er’s face.
Soft strands of hair fell down as he lowered his head, covering his forehead. From Shao Bohan’s angle, he could see Ning Er’s long eyelashes, fluttering like small fans, gently fanning his heart as well.
Shao Bohan’s gaze moved further down, to his plump lips, to his slender neck, and then to the alluring collar… neckline…
Shao Bohan: “…”
Why did Xioaner wear such a high-necked outfit today!
It’s summer, it’s summer vacation! Why would Ning Er wear such a high-necked clothes that doesn’t evoke any thoughts or show even a hint of fair skin? There’s no chance to even think about eating his tofu!!!
Shao Bohan racked his brain and tried various positions, looking at Ning Er’s neckline from different angles. And then…
Shao Bohan: “…”
It’s impossible to see anything good from there!
For several consecutive days, Ning Er wore high-necked pajamas. Finally, one day, Shao Bohan couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Er, how about we turn off the air conditioning?”
Ning Er looked up at him in surprise, “Aren’t you hot?”
Shao Bohan countered, “Aren’t you hot?”
“Huh?”
“You’re wearing such… thick pajamas in the middle of summer. Aren’t you hot?”
Ning Er had no idea about his perverted thoughts. He patiently explained, “I’m afraid of both cold and heat. If I don’t turn on the air conditioning, I’ll feel hot, but if I do, I’ll feel a bit cold. So, I usually wear more clothes in the air-conditioned room.”
Shao Bohan felt helpless, “…”
In fact, Ning Er finished his summer homework in just over a week. Later on, he started working on his extracurricular materials.
While Ning Er was doing his work, Shao Bohan was actually bored, but whenever he had time, he would come to find Ning Er. Sometimes he would take Ning Er out to play, and other times they would be in Ning Er’s room, one doing exercises and the other playing on the phone.
As they were approaching their second year of high school, Ning Er’s mother paid more attention to his grades. Whenever others asked Ning Er to go out, she would inquire a little, but when Shao Bohan asked Ning Er, she didn’t ask anything. She thought, “Xiao Han has such good grades, they must be going to the park or watching a movie at most. What else could they be doing?”
And so, Shao Bohan would take Ning Er to play games and go to internet cafes every day.
On the last three days of summer vacation, Ning Er finished another set of practice papers and played a game of three matches on his phone. From across the table came Shao Bohan’s casual voice, “Xiao Er, did you choose humanities or science?”
Ning Er’s heart tightened. After a whole summer had passed, he had wanted to ask Shao Bohan what he had chosen several times, but he couldn’t bring himself to ask even once.
Yanzhong No.1 Middle School has thirteen classes. Class 1 and Class 2 are focused on history, politics, and humanities. Class 3 and Class 4 are focused on physics and biology, while the remaining nine classes are focused on physics and chemistry. Classes 12 and 13 are the advanced classes. In the final exam of his first year of high school, Ning Er ranked fourth in the grade. With his previous good grades, if he chose physics and chemistry, he would most likely be placed in the advanced class.
He would find out the exact class assignment tomorrow when he went for registration. He should be in the advanced class.
But what about Shao Bohan?
If Shao Bohan chose humanities or physics and biology… then they wouldn’t be in the same class.
No, even if Shao Bohan chose physics and chemistry, they might still not be in the same class. There were two advanced classes.
After contemplating for a while, Ning Er cautiously looked up and said to Shao Bohan, “I chose physics and chemistry.” He carefully observed Shao Bohan’s expression, hoping to glean something from his reaction.
Shao Bohan’s slightly furrowed brow instantly relaxed, and he almost couldn’t help but show his joy. He deliberately remained calm and said, “Oh, you chose physics and chemistry too? Looks like there’s a chance we’ll be in the same class.”
Ning Er breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re definitely in the advanced class. Although you just transferred here, you ranked first in the first exam, so you should be selected.”
Shao Bohan picked up one of Ning Er’s pens and started twirling it to shift his attention. “Then you must be in the advanced class too, in the same class as me.”
Ning Er replied, “Who said I’m definitely in the same class as you? There are two advanced classes, so we might not be in the same class.”
“Maybe we’ll be in the same class.”
“I don’t want to be in the same class as you.”
Shao Bohan was taken aback. “Why?”
Ning Er spoke with conviction, his clear face filled with righteousness. “If we’re in the same class, you definitely won’t study well and will copy my homework every day!”
Shao Bohan was almost driven to laughter by his adorable appearance. His pen slipped from his fingers, falling down. Shao Bohan bent over to pick it up, and as he leaned down under the table, he happened to glance up and suddenly his eyes widened, staring fixedly under the table… at Ning Er’s straight little legs.
Ning Er was wearing a white cotton T-shirt with a high neckline, thick and long mid-length sleeves and a pair of black shorts on the lower half. When he stood up, the shorts reached just below his knees, but when he sat down, the shorts were pulled up just above his knees, revealing his straight little legs.
Shao Bohan’s gaze lingered on those beautiful little legs, and then involuntarily, his eyes drifted towards the gap in the shorts.
Why did it feel like… faintly… he could see something else…
Shao Bohan held the pen, swallowed nervously, and quietly moved closer to Ning Er’s position.
It seemed like he could really see a little bit inside…
Could he see more if he got closer…
Could he see it more clearly…
“You haven’t picked up your pen yet?” Ning Er bent down, assessing the situation.
Bang!
Shao Bohan was startled and accidentally bumped his head on the desk.
