Yu Rui entered the Class 10 area and sat in the seat reserved for him by the Vice-Class President.
The Vice Class President turned around when he heard the clattering noise.
At this moment, the stage light was changing and the lights were falling on this side, so the Vice-Class President said: “Is Xie Li’s side… Class President, why are you so red?”
“… it’s hot.”
“Oh.” The Vice-Class President faintly sensed that something wasn’t quite right, but still nodded, “Is Xie Li’s side ready to continue?”
Yu Rui was silent for a few seconds and slightly gritted his teeth, “Yes.”
The Vice-Class President turned to him with a smile, “That’s good. I see that not only our class but also the students from the other classes and even the seniors are looking forward to his performance.”
As soon as the Vice Class President finished speaking, the MC on the stage began to announce, “Next, I would like to invite Xie Li from Class 10 to perform a song for us, ‘Lockup’.”
“!!”
A wave of applause quickly emerged from the audience.
In the dimness of the stage, a figure stepped out unhurriedly from behind the curtain.
…
Xie Li’s birthday was on October 10, a week after the School Festival.
The wave of ‘celebrity fever’ that Xie Li had created at school had subsided due to his excessively cold and lazy attitude, and things had gradually returned to their usual routine.
On Saturday morning, Yu Rui left home after breakfast and went to the cyber cafe where Xie Li worked part-time.
After hearing Yu Rui’s intention, the receptionist looked very surprised, “Is today Li-ge’s birthday?”
Yu Rui nodded, “He was the one who told me.”
“Li-ge is like that. He never says a word about his affairs, and doesn’t care about other people’s affairs at all.” Said the receptionist as she sorted through the receipts, “That’s why I was so surprised that Li-ge still had friends when you came last time.”
“Is he upstairs?”
“Well, I heard that Li-ge’s house is quite far from here, and he doesn’t usually go there, he sleeps in the living room on the second floor. There was no night shift for him yesterday, so he should be up quite early today. Wait a bit, he’ll be down in no time.”
Yu Rui listened to the receptionist talk for almost another quarter of an hour before finally seeing Xie Li, who was yawning his way down the stairs.
Xie Li walked down the stairs listlessly, he looked sleepy, and he was about to walk past the reception desk without even looking up.
“Li-ge, your friend is here to see you.” The receptionist greeted him.
“……”
Xie Li halted his steps and then looked up.
A few seconds after clearly seeing Yu Rui, Xie Li’s expression stopped being sleepy and lazy, and his dark eyes under his messy hair gradually revealed a pleased and excited mood.
“Class President?”
Yu Rui, “…”
Whenever he met this person’s smile or gloomy eyes, he always had the urge to leave. But thinking about today, Yu Rui took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse. He looked at Xie Li indifferently, “Happy birthday.”
Xie Li was slightly surprised, “Today is already October 10th?”
“Hmm.”
Xie Li took out his cell phone and looked at it.
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.
Yu Rui casually glanced at it and could only see that there seemed to be quite a few messages on it; it was expected to be well-wishing messages from Xie Li’s family and friends, but apparently, this person hadn’t taken out his cell phone at all to look at it even once after waking up until he spoke.

“So the Class President came so early to personally deliver the gift to my door?”
It was a plain sentence, but when it came out of Xie Li’s mouth, it made Yu Rui blush inexplicably.
Yu Rui unconsciously averted his gaze, “The gift is at my house. Today at noon… you can go eat at my place.”
Yu Rui paused and added, “I’ll cook.”
Xie Li smiled, “Such a nice treat for my birthday?”
“Hmm.” Yu Rui responded perfunctorily, turning away and walking out, “You can come with me if you have nothing to do.”
Xie Li stared at the extremely attractive teenager’s back for a few seconds before turning his head and meeting the curious gaze of the girl at the front desk.
“What are you looking at?” As soon as Yu Rui left, Xie Li’s smile faded with little enthusiasm.
The receptionist spoke cautiously, “Li-ge, this guy… he’s not your boyfriend, is he?”
“….” Xie Li narrowed his eyes.
The girl instantly felt ‘death’ approaching and quickly waved her hand, “I have no other intentions, just ask for curiosity, and I don’t discriminate at all, really!”
Xie Li was silent for a few seconds before snorting slightly and looking away, “Of course, I want to. But unfortunately, I haven’t reached him.”
“Oh…. there are people Li-ge can’t reach. This is very unscientific.”
Xie Li went to the sofa to get his jacket and asked nonchalantly, “How did you guess?”
The reception girl smiled, “Li-ge, you have to restrain yourself when you’re outside. Li-ge’s eyes look like they want to swallow little brother alive.”
“…”
Xie Li stretched, then lazily straightened up and walked out the door while saying, “You can’t hold back. Didn’t the elementary school teacher teach you that the eyes are the windows to the soul?”
The girl, “…..”
She froze for a few seconds and waited for the two to disappear out the door before coming to her senses and letting out a soft ‘hiss’.
“Tsk tsk. I can’t believe Li-ge would be so arrogant when chasing after someone.”
When Xie Li followed Yu Rui into the house, Yu Li rushed out of her room to say “Happy Birthday” to Xie Li.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have time to talk to Xie Li for a few more minutes as her brother took her back to her room to continue her homework.
As soon as the door to Yu Li’s room closed, Xie Li looked at Yu Rui, “Class President, where’s my present?”
“Are you in such a hurry?” Yu Rui looked at him expressionlessly.
Xie Li lowered his gaze and slowly said, “Of course, I’m in a hurry. In case the Class President wants to give himself away, I don’t want to wait for even a second, I just want to open it right away.”
“… Dream on.” Yu Rui gave him an unimpressed look and headed toward his bedroom.
Xie Li followed him with understanding.
Once inside the room, Yu Rui headed straight to the desk. Before taking the gift, he hesitantly stopped and looked at Xie Li again, “You were the one who said it couldn’t be bought.”
Xie Li stopped a meter behind him, half leaning against the wall and looking at him with a smile, “Indeed.”
Yu Rui withdrew his gaze, picked up a book from the table, and handed it to Xie Li.
Xie Li looked a little surprised, “I thought it would be a handmade greeting card or something.” He reached out to take it and asked as he flipped through the first page, “What is this?”
“… A booklet with words in it.” Yu Rui was silent for a few seconds and whispered, “Didn’t you take my physics homework when you first came? This is a notebook with handwritten words.”
Xie Li was taken aback in front of the open notebook. It took him a few seconds to regain his composure, turning page after page, slowly and carefully.
Only when he had almost finished flipping through the entire booklet did Xie Li look up with a puzzled expression, “How long have you been writing this?”
“Not long.” Deliberately, Yu Rui hid his eyes and said in an indifferent tone, “The last time you said that I took out a little time every day to write.”
“A little time?” Xie Li laughed hoarsely and suddenly straightened up, forcing Yu Rui, who had unconsciously stepped back, to lean on the desk.
Xie Li leaned over and asked, “How long is a little while? I don’t think you wrote in a hurry, Class President.”
Yu Rui furrowed his brow slightly and averted his gaze, “Roughly half an hour to an hour a day.”
Xie Li remained silent and suddenly, he laughed.
Yu Rui frowned and turned around, “What are you laughing at?”
Xie Li, “I’m laughing at how you’re acting like a fool.”
“?” Yu Rui was surprised at these words.
Xie Li laughed as he lowered his gaze: “Obviously, you said that even if you were tempted, you had enough self-control, yet you used your own time for a month to prepare something so troublesome….”
Yu Rui got angry, “If you don’t want it, give it back-”
“How could I not want it?” Xie Li cut off his voice and leaned down again, almost kissing the young man on the lips.
Yu Rui was forced to pull back, and his fair complexion began to spread a thin layer of pink from behind his ears. But he still kept his gaze tense and refused to budge, “Have you forgotten what you said before?”
“What did I say?” Xie Li lowered his eyes and looked at the young man’s slightly open and closed lips with a deep, dark gaze.
Yu Rui felt so annoyed and helpless by that gaze, he could only pull back as far as possible, his eyes couldn’t help but stray to the side, “You said yourself that you would never do anything without an answer from me.”
“…. did I say that?” Xie Li’s voice faded into a low chuckle, “Then I must have had a false confidence in my endurance, how could I have thought I could restrain myself when I have you doing something in front of me?”
“XIE LI!” Yu Rui gnashed his teeth in anger, “You have broken your word.”
“Ah,” Xie Li laughed merrily, “It’s because of what I said that you let your guard down with me. Class President, were you that easy to fool before?”
“…”
Yu Rui was so angry that his face reddened, and he turned his head to not speak anymore.
Xie Li looked at him, pausing for a while before slowly forcing himself to back away and sighed, “… hurry up and become an adult, Class President. I’m going crazy waiting.”
“!!” Yu Rui turned his head to stare at him, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, not sure whether he was annoyed or angry.
But Xie Li raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Yu Rui stiffened, “What are you doing?”
“You can’t do it, what else can I do?” Xie Li’s voice was hoarse, half-smiling, “For your safety, don’t look at me like that right now; in case I can’t restrain myself, it’s you who will suffer.”
Yu Rui was so angry that he wanted to kick him, “Xie Li, don’t overdo it.”
Xie Li snorted and laughed, “If you say one more word with that tone, I guess I won’t be able to resist pressing you against the wall and undressing you.”
Yu Rui bit his lower lip from how angry he was, forcing himself to hold back his words.
However, Xie Li’s eyes darkened a little more, “Don’t bite your lips.”
“…”
“That counts as seduction, Class President.”
“…”
Unable to take it anymore, Yu Rui lifted his leg and kicked Xie Li’s calf.
Not much muscle was there, so a kick was always painful, Xie Li didn’t dodge either. After enduring the pain, he laughed hoarsely.
“Well, it’s my fault. I feel like you seduce me even when you breathe.”
Xie Li slowly withdrew his hand, looking at the corners of the young man’s already reddened eyes, took a slow breath, and suppressed the desire in his chest that was about to burst free.
Xie Li turned around and walked out of the room.
“I’m borrowing the bathroom, Class President.”
“…”
When he reached the door of the room, Xie Li suddenly thought of something as he paused, and raised his hand to indicate the booklet in his hand.
“Do you know why I want your writing?”
“… no.” Yu Rui was forced out.
Xie Li smiled, “Because words are like people, Class President.”
Yu Rui looked at him blankly.
Xie Li, “Next time, write it on waterproof paper.”
Yu Rui, “?”
Xie Li kept smiling and looked at Yu Rui with narrowed eyes, “So, if I want to do something, I won’t mess it up.”
“?”
No one gave Yu Rui an answer.
Until the bathroom door slammed shut.
Standing in the same place, Yu Rui suddenly thought of something and suddenly his face turned red…..
“Xie Li, you’re a pervert!”
THE AUTHOR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY:
Xie Hentai: Of course 🙂
Tsk tsk tsk
PS: It’s impossible to drive, the current rules don’t allow it, and I wouldn’t dare to go somewhere else to hide when the article is linked to the pseudonym.
The most important thing is that you don’t look too much at the drifting car, I can’t make it happen 🙂
