Shao Bohan’s face was filled with a wicked smile as he leaned in closer. He cunningly curved his mouth, appearing nonchalant, and repeated, “So Xiao Er wants to sit together with me, huh…”
Ning Er’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
Indeed, he secretly wanted to sit together with Shao Bohan, but just a little bit, just a tiny bit. This person seemed like someone who didn’t take studying seriously, and if they sat together, he would probably copy his homework every day and even bully him.
Just like now, he was bullying him again.
Ning Er said, “I don’t want to sit with you. If I sit with you, you’ll definitely copy my homework.”
Shao Bohan replied meaningfully, “Oh, is that so? How about we make a bet? Before I leave today, I’ll make a prediction, and if we do end up sitting together, Xiaor, you’ll have to copy my homework every day.”
Having suffered enough from Shao Bohan’s antics, Ning Er didn’t fall for it this time. “I won’t bet.”
Shao Bohan seemed to have a purpose and persisted, “Afraid to bet with me?”
Ning Er didn’t fall for the provocation. “No bet.”
Shao Bohan upped the stakes. “If you win, I’ll agree to one condition of yours.”
Ning Er hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
Shao Bohan smiled and said, “Two conditions.”
Ning Er said, “You…”
Shao Bohan calmly extended three fingers and gently shook them. “Three conditions.”
Unable to resist the temptation, Ning Er finally gave in. “Let’s bet!”
Children always like to play childish games. Ning Er met Shao Bohan at the age of four, and they grew up together. When they were nine years old, Shao Bohan left Yan Cheng, and they lost contact.
During the five years they spent together, Ning Er and Shao Bohan made many bets. Most of the time, they bet on who would get better exam results or on trivial things like the color of their homeroom teacher’s clothes, whether the math teacher with a receding hairline would comb his miserable bangs to cover his bald spot.
Ning Er lost countless times, losing nine out of ten bets, and he could count the number of times he won on his fingers.
But this time, if Shao Bohan won, Ning Er would have to copy Shao Bohan’s homework, and in return, he would receive three conditions from Shao Bohan.
It was an unequal bet.
Three conditions.
Ning Er couldn’t help but be tempted.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Er asked, “Shao Bohan, aren’t you afraid of losing?”
Shao Bohan looked up at him and smirked, “Are you ready to copy my homework every day?”
Ning Er replied, “…”
You better lose miserably!!!
The bell rang, and the homeroom teacher entered the classroom.
Ning Er felt nervous, sitting up straight. He looked at the homeroom teacher’s face attentively, but suddenly felt an itch on his leg. He lowered his head to take a look.
Shao Bohan’s hand inexplicably rested on Ning Er’s leg, separated by their pants. His palm touched and his fingers curled, lightly poking Ning Er.
The warmth from his warm palm transmitted a tingling sensation to Ning Er, and the intermittent tapping of his fingers made Ning Er shiver. He quickly pulled Shao Bohan’s hand away, his ears already turning red.
“What are you doing?!” Ning Er asked urgently, lowering his voice.
There was a barely noticeable blush on Shao Bohan’s face as he leaned on the desk, turning his face towards Ning Er’s side. Shamelessly, he said, “Are you feeling nervous?”
Ning Er didn’t let him divert the topic, “What… What were you doing… touching me?”
Shao Bohan also felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing those words, but he had thick skin. He continued with a straight face, “I was trying to help you relax.”
“Huh?”
Shao Bohan insisted, “You see, did you forget about the bet we made about the seating arrangement? Aren’t you feeling less nervous now?”
Ning Er couldn’t refute at all.
He wasn’t nervous now, but he was so embarrassed that he could hardly lift his head!
Ever since Shao Bohan saw those beautiful legs during summer vacation, he had been planning when he could touch them. Today, when he saw Ning Er sitting up straight in nervousness, he felt like the opportunity had come, so he mustered up the courage to make a direct move and take advantage.
Although he only touched once before being pushed away.
However… the more he touched, the hotter his heart became, and the more he wanted to get more.
Shao Bohan took a sip of cold cola, suppressing the rising evil fire within him.
Both of them were lost in their own thoughts, and the homeroom teacher called roll once and then spoke, “Let’s arrange the seating before the class meeting. Everyone, go outside and line up according to height, I will assign the seats one by one.”
Ning Er was still thinking about what had just happened, while Shao Bohan was contemplating when he could find another opportunity to touch again.
Neither of them heard the teacher’s words.
A classmate beside Ning Er nudged his arm, “Ning Er, we’re going out to arrange the seating.”
Ning Er snapped out of his thoughts, “Seating arrangement?”
The classmate nodded, “Yeah, the teacher wants us to line up according to height. He’s going to assign our seats.”
In Ning Er’s mind, he was still thinking about the hand that Shao Bohan had placed on his leg. Upon hearing the classmate’s words, he was initially confused and didn’t react immediately. Five seconds later, he slowly widened his eyes, quickly turned his head, and looked at Shao Bohan with excitement, “You lost! I won!”
Shao Bohan looked bewildered, “…?”
This time, Shao Bohan really lost.
Standing in the third-to-last position in the line, Shao Bohan’s face turned pale with anger, too furious to say anything.
With Shao Bohan’s height of 185 cm and Ning Er’s 177 cm height, there was absolutely no way they could sit together, absolutely impossible.
Shao Bohan felt annoyed and frustrated as he watched Ning Er being assigned to the second-to-last row. When it was his turn, he straightforwardly asked the teacher, “Teacher, weren’t we supposed to be seated based on our grades? Class 12 next door is seated according to their grades.”
His voice was not low, and Ning Er in the classroom also heard it, turning to look at him in surprise.
The homeroom teacher frowned, seeing that he was the top student in the grade, and responded with a slightly better temper, “Class 12 is Class 12, what does it have to do with our Class 13? Shao Bohan, you’ll sit in the window seat.”
Shao Bohan was too angry to say anything.
As soon as the class meeting ended, Shao Bohan approached Ning Er.
Ning Er rarely had the upper hand like this, but he learned from Shao Bohan’s expression earlier and had a bright smile on his fair face. “Shao Bohan, are you ready to agree to my three conditions?”
Shao Bohan, who came to seek comfort from Ning Er, was so angry that he almost hiccupped.
How could this matter be settled so easily?
On the first day of school, Shao Bohan went to the homeroom teacher’s office and got straight to the point, “Teacher, I have nearsightedness and can’t see clearly. I want to sit in the front.”
The homeroom teacher stared at Shao Bohan’s face without glasses for a long time, with an expression of “Are you kidding me?”
Shao Bohan said, “I’m wearing contact lenses.”
High school students these days rarely wore contact lenses, and the homeroom teacher was a bit skeptical. However, contact lenses were not colored lenses, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to tell. Relying on years of teaching experience, the homeroom teacher made a judgment, “Shao Bohan, who do you want to sit with? Let me tell you, you are a student now, and your top priority is studying. Even if you have good grades, you can’t start dating. It’s impossible for boys and girls to sit together in our class. Now go back to class.”
Shao Bohan stood his ground and said confidently, “I don’t want to sit with a girl.”
The homeroom teacher, seeing his determined expression, knew that he definitely wanted to sit with a girl, but ignored him, saying, “Alright, it’s time for class. You can go back now.”
On the first day of school, Shao Bohan sat with a gloomy face at the back of Class 13. His desk mate was a tall student even taller than him.
Ning Er was actually not short. The overall height of Class 13 was a bit low, with boys averaging around 170 cm. So Ning Er also sat in the second-to-last row. But…
Shao Bohan lifted his head to take a look.
He sat at the far left of the last row, while Ning Er sat at the far right of the second-to-last row.
This was like a freaking great divide, damn it!
On the way home in the evening, Ning Er was in a good mood, but Shao Bohan felt wronged.
Ning Er also wanted to sit with Shao Bohan, but he didn’t have any dirty thoughts. Being in the same class with Shao Bohan was good enough, even if they weren’t that close. He was happy about the three conditions and needed to think about what he wanted Shao Bohan to do.
He turned his head and saw Shao Bohan remaining silent, which made him feel a bit soft-hearted.
Ning Er asked, “Shao Bohan, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight?”
Yesterday evening, Shao Bohan’s grandmother had come to Ning Er’s house and said that she would be going back to her hometown today, unable to take care of Shao Bohan. She hoped that Shao Bohan could have dinner at Ning Er’s house.
Shao Bohan’s voice sounded muffled, “Hmm.” After a moment, he asked, “Do you want to sit with me?”
Ning Er was taken aback by the question and didn’t expect Shao Bohan to ask that. “Why are you asking this?” he replied. With the seating arrangements already settled, what was the point of bringing up such a question?
For Ning Er, the advanced class was a very unfamiliar place. Most of the students in this class had been classmates for a year. Even if he didn’t have a crush on Shao Bohan, it would be nice to sit with him.
But now things were already decided, weren’t they?
Shao Bohan looked at Ning Er intently. “Just tell me, do you want to?”
Ning Er hesitated for a moment and spoke his true feelings, “I do…”
“Good.”
The next day, during morning self-study, the homeroom teacher walked up to Ning Er’s desk and tapped it lightly. “Ning Er, switch seats with Wang Ping. I heard that you already know Shao Bohan. He’s a transfer student and isn’t familiar with Yanzhong. Help him out, will you?”
Just a quick question, is the ML’s name Shao Baihan or Shao Bohan? It keeps interchanging so idk which one is his real name
(⊙ _ ⊙ )
Thank you for that! IT’s Shao Bohan. I’ve changed it now (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
