Chapter 18 - Date (2/2)

Qin Xu looked down at his wrist that had been grabbed onto. The action of his was clearly asking him to stay but the owner of the hand continued to act proud and didn’t speak.

Qin Xu quietly hooked up the corner of his lips before changing into a cold expression and looking up at him: “What are you doing? Do you realise that this can easily result in misunderstandings?”

Only then did Jiang Yang notice the strange gazes coming from the table next to theirs. He quickly retracted his hand and lifted his chin up proudly while insisting: “You haven’t even played a game. Isn’t it a waste going back already?”

Qin Xu wanted to a say that it obviously wasn’t a waste and ask him to beg him to play with him but, seeing the glimmering hint of expectation in Jiang Yang’s eyes, he quickly swallowed those words back down and said —– “That’s true.”

He then sat back down. Seeing Jiang Yang secretly releasing a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but laugh internally. If you wanted me to stay then just say it. No need to act so awkward. He was only joking around earlier and didn’t really plan on leaving.

Jiang Yang, on the other hand, obviously didn’t know what Qin Xu was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t be happy just because he was only joking about leaving and would instead be enraged. Yes, Jiang Yang had always been such a straightforward person. If he is angry he wouldn’t suppress it and would immediately vent it out.

They sat there facing each other while playing games, drinking coffee and eating for the entire afternoon quite harmoniously. To them, this is a very rare occasion. If their other classmates saw this, they jaw would definitely dislocate and fall to the ground.

On the way back, the two headed back in the same direction for part of the way. On such a hot day, neither of them wanted to deliberately take the longer route home just to avoid being together with the other person.

They walked like this, side by side, when suddenly Jiang Yang’s face changed. He quickly nudged Qin Xu with his elbow but he didn’t control his strength well. Qin Xu turned around and wanted to ask him what the hell he wanted when he heard Jiang Yang whisper secretively: “Nine o’clock direction.”

Using that phrase, and along with that action of his, Qin Xu couldn’t help but laugh. This was the classic act of guys trying to direct their friends’ attention to a nearby hottie. His first reaction was to laugh: “Jiang Yang, I didn’t expect you to be like this.”

Jiang Yang didn’t understand what he meant. Seeing that the idiot is not turning his head to look in the direction he mentioned earlier, he reached out and used his hand to twist his head over.

Only now, Qin Xu saw it and he swore internally.

Not far ahead of them, on the other side of the road, stood a tall and beautiful female figure who looked familiar. It was Wu Tong, but she wasn’t alone. Next to her stood a tall and tanned male with a buzzcut and muscular physique. As the man looked down at Wu Tong, his gaze was evidently filled with affection.

If it was just that then it wasn’t a big deal, but Wu Tong was also gazing back at him with a bright and loving smile.

From afar, they clearly looked like a pair of lovers who are deeply in love and well matched.

As two men who are both interested in Wu Tong, and also as love rivals, things instantly became very awkward. With a complicated mood, Qin Xu spoke up first while pretending to be calm, “Then, we should head home now.”

That one sentence quickly broke the strange silence.

Jiang Yang nodded reluctantly, and they parted at the intersection.

“My place is in this direction.”

“My place is in this direction.”

The two went in two different directions and after turning the corner, their figures soon disappeared.

Jiang Yang wanted to continue home, but he still couldn’t let things go. After hesitating for a while, he once again turned around and ran back. He wanted to make sure he didn’t see things wrongly earlier.

But unexpectedly, he came across someone hiding behind the pillars sneaking glances at the couple — It was Qin Xu who had proposed earlier that they headed home.

Jiang Yang: “……”
