The first thing Lin Dongyang did was check his friends list. After seeing that the ‘Chen Yang’ game ID was still lying on the list, Lin Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief. His depressed mood finally eased a bit.
In fact, he had noticed the changes in Qiao Yichen. From their initial tit-for-tat confrontation to their current peaceful mode of coexistence. He had originally attributed this increase in closeness to their growing friendship. But today, after hearing An Qi’s deliberate words, it was like a breeze had cleared away the fog that had obscured his eyes.
He wasn’t Qiao Yichen, who couldn’t even tell the difference between hate and flirting. He had accurately guessed the meaning of Wang Dan’s blush. Plus, An Qi had given such an obvious hint, how could he not realize? But before he thought that Qiao Yichen just regarded him as a friend and didn’t think about love and affection.
“Should I ask clearly?” He said to himself before taking another bite of cold rice. It would be embarrassing to ask whether it’s true or not. Confirming a friendship is fine, but confirming romantic feelings always feels a little worse. So, he finally shook his head and denied the idea for fear that he was wrong and would be ridiculed by Qiao Yichen for being narcissistic and delusional.
Not to mention, if Qiao Yichen changed back to how he was before, saying it would really be a loss. He still remembered how arrogant and domineering Qiao Yichen was when he asked him to pay back the money. If he really dares to chase me, I would have to get him to pay back double.
Unknowingly, Lin Dongyang’s thoughts began to run even wilder. He even began to fantasize about what would happen if Qiao Yichen really chased him, without the indifferent attitude of refusal that he showed when he learned that Austin was trying to get off with him.
He didn’t even notice it himself, but perhaps he was enjoying this.
Lin Dongyang saw that Qiao Yichen’s game account was still online, so he didn’t pretend to be a dead corpse. He took the initiative to send him a message: [Hey, are you there?]
[En, just about to log off] Qiao Yichen replied in almost a second.
[Before you go offline, I want to ask you a question. Which friend was An Qi talking about just now? Can you introduce me to him?] Lin Dongyang asked this on purpose. He kind of wanted to see how Qiao Yichen would respond, and he also wanted to verify if his thoughts were right.
[Cannot]
[Why? I’m quite interested] Lin Dongyang quickly typed out another line of words, afraid that if he was too slow, the other party would go offline.
[What are you interested in?]
Seeing Qiao Yichen starting to consider his words, Lin Dongyang rolled his eyes and thought of a bunch of difficult questions.
[Do you think two men would kiss? Would they do that? I’ve never been involved with that kind of thing before. I’m a little bit curious] Lin Dongyang could also only ask through the computer. Otherwise, he would never be able to say this kind of nonsense to the face-paralyzed Qiao Yichen.
Although in front of the computer, Qiao Yichen had a straight back and a calm expression, his heart was beating with turbulence. The person he liked asking him about this was equivalent to them teasing him and he would automatically imagine characters and scenes, fantasizing about things that are inappropriate for children.
He just liked him, and didn’t really think that much about it. It wasn’t that he was completely pure, it was just that he simply liked him from the beginning and he was just pure enough that he stayed true to his feelings, regardless of whether they were a man or a woman.
But these words from Lin Dongyang directly pulled him into the ditch of desire. Some intimate actions were inevitable to lovers. Holding hands and kissing were the most common.
Kissing? And also… making love.
Qiao Yichen was somewhat speechless, his fingers frozen on the keyboard for a long time, unable to type a single letter.
[What’s wrong?] Lin Dongyang asked very innocently, and only he himself knew how bad those words were.
[I don’t know] Qiao Yichen finally typed out such a sentence.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[Why don’t you give me his contact information and I will discuss it with him myself, and also get closer to him along the way] Using the mentality ‘if the enemy is weak then I am strong’, the more Qiao Yichen didn’t dare, the more Lin Dongyang wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. It was simply a new way of courting death.
Qiao Yichen: [Will you agree?]
Lin Dongyang: [That depends on how he chases]
Qiao Yichen: [How should he chase?]
[Like writing a love letter ah] Lin Dongyang sat in front of his computer and covered his mouth, almost laughing out loud. Teasing the other party made him feel good. He couldn’t help but imagine how clumsy Qiao Yichen would be when writing a love letter. He actually felt a little embarrassed for him.
[Just a love letter?]
[Of course it would take more than that, ah. Figure it out yourself.]

Because too many things had happened, it couldn’t be clearly explained in only a sentence or two. In order to avoid Qiao Yichen’s suspicion, he also deliberately turned the faucet on from time to time, pretending that he was using the toilet. The result was that Qiao Yichen completely ignored him, seriously staring at his computer, not knowing what he was studying.
In Monday’s class, Qiao Yichen spent the entire time distracted. From yesterday afternoon until noon today he kept sketching in his textbook from time to time. Everytime An Qi approached, Qiao Yichen was always able to cover it up defensively first. He was unwilling to show him, even in death.
An Qi couldn’t help but scold him in a low voice during class, “You’re showing signs of being in heat ah, sneaking away and hiding something that can’t be seen?”
Qiao Yichen’s hand smothered the textbook to death. An Qi pulled at a corner of the book, and Qiao Yichen fought back with strength, not afraid to tear the textbook, “You’re hiding it so well, it can’t be a written love letter, right?”
An Qi was an experienced person. What method hadn’t he used to chase Qiao Weiwei? Seeing Qiao Yichen drawing and writing, then covering it up, he could roughly guess what he was doing. If it was just his notes, Qiao Yichen wouldn’t cover it so tightly, and would just play with him a bit before leaving.
Qiao Yichen simply didn’t respond. His silence was his last line of defense. They secretly competed against each other, pulling the tables and chairs and forcing them to collide.
“Qiao Yichen, stand up and answer this question,” The male teacher who was teaching heard the movement and shot a fiery gaze over to their side, calling on the person doing the small action to get up and answer the question.
When An Qi heard Qiao Yichen being called on by the teacher, he instantly sat down obediently. His arms on the table and his eyes fixed on the blackboard, with the standard three-good student sitting posture.
Qiao Yichen stood up and saw the question written by the teacher on the blackboard. Without much thought, he answered it fluently. He would study the information in the textbook beforehand everytime, and would remember the key points after going over them several times.
The teacher nodded in satisfaction, “Sit down, you have been constantly absent-minded in class lately. You’re the class monitor, you are supposed to lead the way for others. If you’re not feeling well, you can ask for leave from me. This teacher will approve it.”
“Yes teacher,” Qiao Yichen replied as he sat down and turned to another page of the textbook. The note was tucked away in the textbook and hidden underneath.
Lin Dongyang had a PE class on Monday afternoon. He had been in the same class as Qiao Yichen before, but it was a good thing that it was just a temporary thing. There wasn’t much time left before class ended, so Lin Dongyang wiped the sweat off his forehead, twisted his sore waist, and then threw the basketball in his hand to his classmate, waving his hand and saying, “You guys play, I’m a little tired.”
The student who caught the ball said, “Why are you so weak lately? How long have you been playing and you’re tired already?”
Lin Dongyang: “I’m dying, I sprained my waist. Being able to play for this long is already not bad. It’s starting to hurt to even touch it,” He pulled his pant legs up to his knee joints to conveniently get rid of the sweat.
It didn’t take long for the bell to ring. Lin Dongyang threw his equipment to Fang Zheng and then left him and the other students to organize the rest. He was now standing aside and waiting to meet up with the other three.
The sports ground was near the south gate of the school. Li Wei suggested they go to the South Gate Changming Street for a meal, but then Fatty Han said, “I’m sweating all over from playing football. You have a crew cut so it doesn’t matter for you but my hair is stuck to my forehead. I want to go back and rest first.”
“Okay then, let’s just go back and rest for a while. What do you want to eat later?”
“I haven’t decided, let’s wait and see, we have time anyway,” The four joked and walked off in the direction of the dormitory buildings.
An Qi and Qiao Yichen also finished school in the afternoon. The school building area was much closer to the dormitory buildings than the sports ground. So, at this moment the two of them were already at the dormitories.
An Qi was very quiet along the way, but from time to time he would look down at his mobile phone to send a message. Qiao Yichen asked, “Who are you looking for behind my sister’s back?”
“Looking for your sister ah.” An Qi replied smoothly.
Qiao Yichen’s face darkened as he said in a deep voice, “You have one second to give another answer to that question.”
An Qi: “… I’m really looking for you sister.” Seeing that Qiao Yichen seemed to have misunderstood his earlier answer, he immediately showed his mobile phone to Qiao Yichen to prove that he really wasn’t looking for someone else behind Weiwei’s back.
But when Qiao Yichen saw his chat conversation, his face became terrifying as he questioned, “What did you say to Weiwei?!” He approached An Qi with oppression, and An Qi moved step by step to the side, replying vaguely, “I… aaaahhh, help!”
Before he could finish speaking, An Qi saw that Qiao Yichen’s claws were already stretching out towards him. Unexpectedly, he went for it without warning! An Qi ran straight towards the girl standing next to dormitory building No. 5.
The girl wore a high school uniform. The high school uniform was only made to fit the more common physique. It usually looked very loose on people, but on her body it looked as decent and casual as sportswear, it looked completely different.
“Weiwei, your brother is going to beat me!”
The girl in the high school uniform was none other than Qiao Weiwei. Her hair was in a ponytail and it looked completely different from her usual shoulder-length hair, it was less charming and more playful. Her small face, without makeup, was fresh.
She just crossed her arms and looked as if it was ‘none of her business’, ignoring An Qi’s pleas for help, “You must have done something to make him angry. You deserve the beating.”
As expected, An Qi showed an aggrieved look, “He knows I told you his little secret so he’s going to beat me up.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Weiwei immediately changed her attitude from earlier and opened her arms to protect An Qi as if he was a small chicken. She then said to Qiao Yichen who had stopped in front of her “This won’t do, ge, you can’t fight.”
An Qi hid behind Qiao Weiwei and arrogantly stuck his tongue out at Qiao Yichen. He knew Weiwei wouldn’t abandon their alliance.
Qiao Yichen: “Why are you here?”
Qiao Weiwei then lowered her arms and made a preemptive strike, “Ge, you’re hiding something from me.”
Qiao Yichen’s eyes dodged her a little and he tried to change the topic, “You’ll be taking the college entrance exam soon so you should just study hard and mind your own business.”
Qiao Weiwei disagreed, “How is this not my business?!”
An Qi followed suit, “Right!”
Qiao Weiwei stepped forward, pulled at Qiao Yichen’s clothes and said softly, “Ge, actually you don’t need to hide it from me. I won’t interfere with your relationship problems. I just want to tell you clearly that I support you and any choice you make, I will always be behind you. So, don’t hold everything by yourself, okay?”
Qiao Yichen gave Qiao Weiwei a deep look before slightly curving the corners of his mouth and reaching out to gently rub the top of Qiao Weiwei’s head. The movement showed intimacy.
His sister found out about his feelings and instead of rejection and disgust, she even made a point of visiting him and saying, ‘I support you’. Enough, those words were enough to give him the courage to continue.
Qiao Weiwei scoffed, “My hair is going to be all messed up.” She pulled off Qiao Yichen’s hand and held it, smiling very happily.
Qiao Yichen: “It’s going to get dark soon, let me take you back to your school.”
Qiao Weiwei: “Thanks, ge.”
Qiao Weiwei took the textbook from Qiao Yichen’s hand and tossed it to An Qi, commanding, “You go back, I’ll have my brother send me off.”
“I’m coming too!”
“I want to talk to my brother, why are you coming?” Qiao Weiwei silently winked at him and An Qi immediately understood, giving an ‘ok’ gesture as he said, “Alright then, be safe,” and then he ran back to their dorm.
Qiao Weiwei tugged on Qiao Yichen’s arm and walked with him in the direction of the parking garage. Without the particularly talkative An Qi, the two siblings could completely open their hearts to each other. Qiao Weiwei said with anticipation, “Ge, I think that senior of yours is very nice. If you two go out, then I’ll have two brothers who love me.”
“You’re thinking beautifully.”
“Of course I’m thinking beautifully. But, my brother still needs to put in more effort ah, hurry up and bring my er-ge home. You two have known each other for so long, have you really not done anything???” Qiao Weiwei asked with an innocent look on her face.
Qiao Yichen reached out and flicked the side of her head, admonishing, “You’re just coming of age, what unhealthy things are you thinking about. Is it something An Qi taught you? When I go back I’ll seal his mouth shut.”
“No, I’m an adult. Isn’t it normal for lovers to be intimate?”
Qiao Yichen’s face darkened. “Did An Qi make a move on you?”
Qiao Weiwei immediately fell silent, practically lowering her head to the ground. When Qiao Yichen saw her like this, it was like a good cabbage was being swallowed by a pig, and he wanted to kill the pig!
“We’ve just… kissed.”
“What else?!”
“Nothing. Aiya ge, I’m too shy.”
Qiao Yichen was relieved. Just now he had almost turned back to catch An Qi and beat him up. He saw Qiao Weiwei with her head down and said, “Your hair is messed up.”
Qiao Weiwei was still desperately lowering her head. Having just said something intimate and personal about herself and An Qi, she was a little too shy and didn’t dare to look up. She sounded muffled as she mumbled, “Wasn’t it you who rubbed it?”
Qiao Yichen smiled and helped her fix her messy hair.
Lin Dongyang was walking towards them and happened to see this scene. Qiao Yichen looked gentle and doting, patiently and carefully helping the girl beside him to fix her long hair. Oblivious to the fact that Lin Dongyang had just brushed past him.
He came face to face with him, but had turned his back. One on the left and one on the right, both remained silent.
Haizzz.. When.. Will.. They.. Be.. Together..?
NOOOOOOO IS IT A MISUNDERSTANDING?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I suppose that’s why they specified she looked different from her normal get-up so LD would mistake it for QY actually being straight
