Chapter 34 (2/2)

Jiang Yang watched him look unhappy and felt refreshed inside.

They continued playing for a while and soon it was time for them to go to sleep.

Jiang Yang pulled out a bamboo mat from inside the closet, laid it out onto the floor and planned to let Qin Xu sleep there.

But when he was only halfway through laying it out, mother Jiang walked in and saw 'Qin Xu' bending down making his bed on the floor. Without a second thought, she immediately smacked her son on the head and scolded: ”How can you let your friend sleep on the floor and even let him make the bed himself? What have I been teaching you?!”

Qin Xu raised his head innocently and sent a glare in Jiang Yang's direction.

Mother Jiang decisively said: ”You two boys can just squeeze and sleep together on the bed. Don't make things so troublesome.”

Qin Xu heard this and quickly said: ”That's right. Qin Xu you should just sleep with me.”

Jiang Yang supported himself with his knees and stood up. He revealed a smile to mother Jiang and turned his head back to an angle where mother Jiang cannot see his face and glared at Qin Xu — Sleep your big uncle!

Mother Jiang had the greatest authority, so they could only helplessly accept her final decision. She returned the bamboo mat back into the closet and even nagged at the boys to stop playing games and to go to bed.

Jiang Yang shrugged his shoulders and gave Qin Xu a look. What else can we do? Let's finish off one more round and then go to sleep.

They laid in bed and turned off the lights. In the darkness, only the faint moonlight fell through the curtains and partially illuminated the room. If you opened your eyes, you could only see the faint outlines of objects in the room.

The bed wasn't big so with two men sleeping it is very cramped. The distance between the two were less than an arms length. In the quiet darkness you could clearly hear the other persons breathing and if you turn your head slightly, you could see their faint outline. Their profile, illuminated by the faint glow of the moonlight, appeared gentle and soft, completely different to their temperament during the day. You couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Qin Xu rested his hand on the blankets and suddenly spoke up: ”I can't sleep on an unfamiliar bed. I haven't sleep here before, what should I do if I can't sleep?”

Hearing him suddenly speak up, Jiang Yang was surprised. He then sneered: ”Can't sleep on an unfamiliar bed? You? Didn't you sleep pretty well on the first night of school? Slept like a dead pig.”

”How do you know? Are you watching me sleeping at night?” From Qin Xu's voice there was a hint of laughter. It was clear that he was asking for a beating.

”Have you forgotten about the systems task?” Jiang Yang said.

”…..Oh right.” Qin Xu's voice became dull.

As if he was suddenly dissatisfied he grumbled, ”Not talking anymore. Let's sleep.”

Jiang Yang: ”……….???” Who was the one who started talking first?

That someone who had said earlier that they couldn't sleep on an unfamiliar bed fell as sleep in less than ten minutes. As for Jiang Yang, because he is not accustomed with sharing a bed with someone, he suddenly found himself unable to fall asleep.

He stared at the ceiling in frustration. After staring at it for a while, he wanted to turn over but, taking into consideration the fact that he shouldn't wake the other person up, he lightened his movements. He turned over and just happened to come face to face with Qin Xu. He slept deeply with his head on the side and pressed into the pillow.

Jiang Yang saw this and felt annoyed inside. He couldn't sleep yet this guy over here is sleeping so comfortably. For a moment he remembered back to when he was tasked with covering Qin Xu with a blanket. It was the same at that time too. He was being tortured sleeplessly by the system, yet that b.a.s.t.a.r.d remained sleeping peacefully.

Thinking this, Jiang Yang pouted and bad intentions bubbled up inside him. He reached out and pinched his face. He saw that the other party didn't have any reaction and continued to pinch his nose. Holding it for a while, Qin Xu who could no longer breathe comfortable started to frown and grumble. It was as if he was about to wake up.

Jiang Yang quickly released his hold and closed his eyes. Pretending to sleep, he acted as if he didn't do anything.

Qin Xu woke up muddleheaded and only opened his eyes for about two seconds. Seeing that there was nothing amiss, he smacked his lips and continued to sleep.

Jiang Yang, after hearing that there were no more movements from his end, snickered quietly. He felt his mood improve and after turning back over he started feeling sleepy.

Just as his consciousness started to fade, he vaguely felt a hand reach over to his waist and hold onto him like a pillow. Jiang Yang subconsciously threw the arm off and continued to sleep but not a second later the arm returned. This time Jiang Yang had completely fallen asleep, so he didn't react.

The next day they were to wake up and wash up.

After all, it was someone else's place, so Qin Xu didn't dare to act too rude. He rolled around a few times and got up around nine o'clock. During that period, he even acted spoiled while holding onto Jiang Yang and was almost beaten up by him.

Leaving the bathroom, he became more spirited and made Jiang Yang sit down and let him apply the medications onto his ear.

Jiang Yang watched him take care of his ear seriously and carefully, and suddenly recalled the pain that he went through yesterday. In fact, it actually wasn't too bad. If was just that his body was suddenly stimulated for an instant and his brain instinctively reacted.

He thought this and asked: ”Qin Xu, are you actually afraid of pain?”

Qin Xu was stunned for a moment and he didn't control the strength of his fingers well. Jiang Yang trembled in pain and quickly held onto his ear.

”……It's okay.” Qin Xu said.

Jiang Yang glared at him and felt the pain on his ear. What kind of fool would believe that?!

Qin Xu felt a little helpless: ”Come here. I'm almost done.”

Jiang Yang stared at him and eventually shuffled over unwillingly.

”And you still get tattooed?”

”Can't help it. For the sake of being cool I can endure the pain.”

Jiang Yang scoffed. He didn't believe those words of his. If his eyes would tear up from an ear piercing then he would've cried out when he got the tattoo.

Qin Xu finished up and then turned around to clean things up. He then said: ”If I say that I am afraid of pain, would you comfort me?”

Jiang Yang rolled his eyes: ”You wish.”

Qin Xu sighed, ”I see, so it's useless even if I'm in pain.”

He didn't try to act pitiful and only said those words in an unconcerned manner. This only made it seem as if he was only trying to act tough on the outside. This made Jiang Yang remember that his parents were often not home so even if he wanted to talk to them about something, he didn't have the chance to. Being in a cold and empty house the whole day, it really is a little……..

Jiang Yang stalled for a moment and fell silent. He's not good at comforting people but he understood that although children would be comforted if they cry, a man would care about too much their reputation and would hide their emotions instead. This was what Qin Xu is doing now and he didn't know what to do.

For a moment, it was quiet.

Jiang Yang suddenly stood up and moved in front of him. He grabbed Qin Xu's shoulder and patted him on his back, ”Have some confidence in yourself. This is nothing.”

He then naturally released his hold and walked to the door, ”Let's go have breakfast.”

Qin Xu was momentarily stunned. Watching his leaving back, he couldn't help but smile. The corners of his lips curved up and a warm smile appeared on his face.

After eating breakfast, the two notified mother Jiang and went out. They intended to go to Qin Xu's place to pick up some things and then heading directly to school from there.

Because their bicycles were parked in Qin Xu's place's parking lot, the two walked for a bit and decided to take the bus.

They walked down a small road in the residential area while continuously bickering back and forth.

Qin Xu stepped back and avoided Jiang Yang's fist and noticed something from the corner of his eyes. He quickly grabbed Jiang Yang's wrist and pulled him over while pointing enthusiastically: ”Look, there a husky.”

To be more precise, they could only see the husky's head that poked out through a small hole in the wall. It hung its tongue out and looked out to the world outside. That silly look made onlookers couldn't help but want to bring it out to the outside world and play.

Jiang Yang saw this and his lips curved upwards. He pointed at the couplet stuck onto the wall above the husky and joked: ”Doesn't it look like the scene where monkey brother is sealed under Wuzhi mountain? If you remove it, it would jump out and join you in your journey to collect Buddhist sutras.”

Couplets were usually stuck the two sides of the door to repel evil spirits and attract good luck but there was actually one stuck onto the plain cement wall with nothing but a hole that allowed the husky to stick its' head out of.

Jiang Yang had only said this casually as a joke, but Qin Xu thought that it was a good proposition and was eager to try it out. He walked over and really had the intention to tear off the couplet.

Jiang Yang was shocked. He really didn't expect this guy to actually do something so ridiculous. He quickly held him back, but that person was too excited and very quickly escaped from his grip. Jiang Yang didn't want his own body to do something so stupid, so he quickly ran up and held him in an embrace to stop him from advancing any further.

Qin Xu tried to push away the arm that was wrapped around his waist while Jiang Yang held onto him tightly unwilling to let go. This scene looked like something that came straight out of a dog-blood romance drama.

Let me go! I am no longer the same person as that time! I don't love you anymore!

No! I won't accept this! I don't believe it! You're lying to me!

An aunty who was on her way back from grocery shopping saw this and a light flashed through her eyes. She smiled a little but didn't say anything. Her expression however was filled with meaning —– Young people these days.

The aunty gave them a deep look before turning around and moving on with her day.

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu looked at each other silently before quietly retracting their hands and then moved on as if nothing had happened.

They soon reached the main road.

After walking for a while and they about 200m from the bus stop, they unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

Not far diagonally ahead of them a man was grabbing onto the hands of a tall girl in a black dress, intending to drag her away.

Qin Xu furrowed his brows, ”Is that Wu Tong?”

Ever since they saw Wu Tong with her suspected boyfriend, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu had gradually increased the distance between them and they returned to the relations.h.i.+p of ordinary cla.s.smates.

Jiang Yang also looked over and his expression wasn't very good, ”That guy isn't the same guy from last time. He obviously doesn't look like anyone good.”

Indeed, the man looked a little fierce and bad-natured. His eyebrows were fierce and he gripped onto Wu Tong's hand in a rough manner that was certainly not an appropriate treatment for girls.

The boys saw the man drag Wu Tong into a small alleyway and immediately followed behind them

As soon as they walked over, they saw the man pressing Wu Tong against the wall. One of his hands was even pressed against her chest. The two boys almost exploded in anger. What is this?! He actually dared to do something like this to a girl!

The two could no longer sit still and angrily rushed forward wanting to kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d but the words they heard in the next second made them doubt everything that they knew.

The man said: ”Why are you wearing a skirt again? Don't you find it very strange? You're obviously a man!”

Jiang Yang & Qin Xu: ”………???”

Man? What is he talking about? Is there a problem with my hearing?

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu froze and looked at each other in surprise. For a moment they felt as if their three views were broken.

Their mind went blank for two seconds before Qin Xu finally recovered his senses. He couldn't help but interrupt: ”Sorry to interrupt but what do you mean by Wu Tong being a guy? Is this what I think it means?”

The man's expression darkened as he looked back to see which b.a.s.t.a.r.d dared to interrupt. He responded impatiently, ”Who are you guys?”

When he saw their faces properly, the man instantly understood. Turns out they're cla.s.smates from the same school, those infamous school idols. He sneered as he released his hold of Wu Tong: ”Just right, your admirers are here.”

He looked towards Qin Xu and nodded, ”That's right. It is just what you think it means. He is well and truly a man.”

Wu Tong straightened up and calmly patted away the dust. There were no signs of panic despite the secret being exposed. Only the usual quiet and calm demeanour had changed into one that was very cold. There was an inexplicable dark tone concealed within the words that was spoken next.

She, no, to be more accurate, he, looked at the two people standing in front of him indifferently and said with a low and magnetic voice, ”Do you have anything to say?”

To be honest, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu were both shocked to the point that they were at loss for words. Suddenly finding out that the G.o.ddess that they had be pursuing for so long was actually a man, what else can they say? They were already scared out of their wits okay?

”If you're not saying anything then I'll treat it as you not having any questions.” Wu Tong looked at the two coldly. There was a hint of threat in his gaze, ”Don't you dare tell the others about what you've overhead today.”

He didn't say explicitly what would happen if they did, but it was clear just through his gaze that they would be dead meat. The two couldn't help but curse inside: f.u.c.k! Where did my gentle G.o.ddess go? Even if I have given up on her, you can't just suddenly tell me that he's actually a man! What if I didn't know about this earlier and ended up continuing pursing after a man. How shameful is that!

The two youngsters who loved to play games naturally knew what a renyao is but they had never come across the term 'crossdressing master'. Now that they had finally encountered someone like this, their weak three views were in danger of being broken.

(KK notes: 人妖 = male playing as female character)

The three people stood there in a deadlock as the chief culprit responsible for exposing the secret stood to one side acting as an outsider eagerly watching the events unfold. He felt that it was very interesting watching their three views get shattered.

He looked at Jiang Yang and Qin Xu and they similarly looked back at him. After looking at him several more times, they recognised the man as Xu Jun from cla.s.s 13. With a hedgehog like spiky hair, knife like eyebrows and dark eyes, it looked as if he walked around with a villain BGM playing constantly. You couldn't help but think that he is dangerous and would retreat to avoid provoking him. However, their a.s.sumptions were only half correct. For someone like Xu Jun, if you don't provoke him, he would just ignore you but if he is irritated he would explode like a live bomb to the point that he doesn't even care about his own wellbeing.

Compared to real life, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu came into contact with him more through the game. Xu Jun loved to farm in the game and enjoyed playing a character called Arthur. He would relentlessly rush forward to the front of the team and never played with the thought of retreating. He would rush up and attack without hesitation and, if his teammates were being overwhelmed, he would use his own flesh and blood to protect them. To summarise, although this person is someone who is very short tempered, he is someone who is very straightforward and pa.s.sionate to the point that you couldn't help but find him a little cute.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Yang & Qin Xu: Shocked! The girl that they had pursued for so long turned out to be a comrade who also has a rod! Three views shattered and no longer able to be pieced together!
