<Opening the old and dusty file>
X year, 29 January
Weather: Hazy
Today that guy mentioned he wanted to find a book to read to cultivate his temperament and mind, so he spent the entire day flipping and tossing books around on his book shelf. Alas, he still didn’t manage to find the book he wanted to read, instead, he accidentally dug out an old file from back when I was in high school.
“Why are you still keeping this old piece of thing? Don’t tell me it contains evidence of your puppy love?” He teased, purposely showing off that he was opening the file.
As someone who’s been single since he was in his mother’s womb, I obviously had nothing to be scared of.
I’ve seen this kind of file everywhere in high school, it was simply used to collate practice papers and exam papers. A while ago, I had already gathered and thrown away a large pile of useless files like these, perhaps this file managed to escape from my eyes.
“Just open it if you want to, it’s not like I’m scared.” I laughed, “prepare to admire how amazing of a scholar I was back then ba!”
I’m really not trying to boast here, back then when I was schooling, my grades were always at the top of the percentile and I used to come first in place almost every time. I was completely different from this guy who’s constantly the last in the cohort.
“Do you think I don’t dare to open it?” He wiggled his eyebrows, opened the ‘seal’ of the file, and tossed everything inside onto the floor.
There were really a lot of things inside, but most of them were just exam papers. That guy casually picked up a piece of paper, I don’t know what he saw, but he suddenly broke into loud laughter. I thought it was some of my black history that he saw, so I hurried to snatch that paper from his hands, but he quickly shoved it under his ass and sat on it.
“What on earth did you see?” I asked. He said he didn’t see anything.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Lies! He obviously saw something! If not, why would he laugh like that?

“I saw your youthful time.” He said seriously, “I saw how you have grown into such a fine gentleman of indomitable spirit, this big brother is very pleased.”

Even if I really wanted to hide something, it wouldn’t be in that file? That would be too easy for people to find ba! But… looking at his expression, I was really starting to suspect if I had put anything weird inside that file in the past. Did I put someone’s love letter inside?

“Are you angry?” he asked.
“No.”
What a joke! Why would I be angry over such a small thing?
“You’re really angry.” He said insistently, “You’ve always been like that since young, always claiming you’re not angry when you actually are.”
I wanted to tell him “I’m really not angry”, but thinking about what he just said, I swallowed my words.
“I’m angry.” I said.
That guy smiled the moment he heard me.
“You see, you admitted to being angry yourself, yet you still wanted to lie that you weren’t.”
I gave him a side glance and didn’t speak. I’ve finally realised, when one is shameless, no one can be his opponent. No matter what I said, that guy would always win.
“You see it for yourself ba, it’s really nothing.” He said while shoving me that piece of paper that he was so unwilling to give up a while ago.
→_→ If he did this earlier, such an unpleasant conversation wouldn’t have to happen. I opened that exam paper, my results were quite good, I didn’t make any dumb mistakes. Okay ba, I really didn’t understand what that guy was laughing about, don’t tell me he just wanted to tease me?
He laughed again, and told me to flip the paper over.
I flipped it.
On the back of the paper, there was a Hatsune Miku drawn in pencil. My face instantly flushed red, I hurriedly flipped over the paper.
Speaking of my high school time when I was still an otaku, unhealthily obsessing over the Japanese anime culture, I would always draw random things on the back of the papers I had no more use of, and most of them were of Hatsune Miku.
At that time, my biggest dream was to have a house of my own, and renovate it to make it a heaven for otakus. Now that I have achieved the former, as for the latter… just talking about it makes me feel like crying QAQ. Even though I managed to move into my own house, I still didn’t dare to renovate it into the way I dreamed of.
At this moment, my assistant sent me tomorrow’s schedule.
Hai… Repeatedly working day by day like this, who knows when I can get rid of this damned boring routine…
That sand sculpture saw that I became quiet and softly heaved a sigh. He stood up and moved to tidy up the papers he scattered on the floor.
“Just leave it there ba, tomorrow when the cleaning auntie comes, I will just ask her to throw them away.” I yawned while saying.
“Tidy it up a bit ba, what if you found something worth keeping?” He said while glancing at the paper on my lap with a hint of a smile.
I knew what he was thinking, and awkwardly cleared my throat, “It’s nothing but some doodles from when I was young, not much to keep.”
He remained silent and threw me a ‘I completely understand’ look. I rolled my eyes at him and turned to look at the wall he previously graffitied on. Anyway the wall has been dirtied, even if we painted it white again, it probably wouldn’t look the same as before. Why not dedicate this wall to showcase my personal otaku collection…
The more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. Anyway this wall wasn’t dirtied by me, I am just trying to make it look nicer again. I could always use this excuse, even when my parents visit.
I shared my idea to that rascal Wu Yunfei, but he simply ignored me and just stared at a piece of drawing, spacing out. I inched closer to check it out, it turned out to be a sketch of someone I drew during art class in my second year of high school.
“You like this drawing?” I asked.
He replied with an ‘En’, and only a moment later, he asked teasingly if I secretly liked him.
I was a bit confused.
He held up the drawing next to his face, and I suddenly realised the person in that drawing really looked like him.
“You’ve already secretly drawn me, yet you’re still denying that you like me?” He asked with a big smile.
That guy was really overthinking. At that time, I simply wanted to draw something decent that looked like a person to hand in the assignment, I really wasn’t thinking of drawing him!
I remembered it very clearly, at the start I planned on drawing a girl, but then again I was scared that others would nosily ask who the girl in the drawing was, so I changed my mind and drew a boy instead. That piece of drawing still had parts where the changes were obvious.
Upon hearing this, the sand sculpture became even happier.
He told me that I had memorised what he looked like in my heart, that’s why I unintentionally drew him without thinking. He even said that my subconscious wouldn’t lie, and my dream lover looks exactly like him.
Okay ba, if he likes that logic, I’m not going to bother refuting it. ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ I’m too lazy to argue with that sand sculpture again.
