Chapter 28: To entrust oneself

After school on Friday, they had already discussed beforehand whose house they would go to. Although it may have sounded strange to the others, as if they were doing something that couldn’t be mentioned, it was something that they had to do. How could Jiang Yang have the courage to go to the other persons place alone and pretend to be him? He wouldn’t even know which room is his and where everything is placed. Not knowing such things, he would definitely be exposed within minutes.

In the end they decided to go to Qin Xu’s place. Jiang Yang prepared an excuse in advance and asked Qin Xu to give his parents a call to explain that he would stay at his classmates place this weekend and would not go home.

Father Jiang and mother Jiang both trusted their son and very quickly agreed. They asked if they should speak to the other parents or bring a gift to show appreciation but with Jiang Yang’s urge Qin Xu said: “Mum don’t worry. I’m just going to Qin Xu’s place to play. If we’re too formal, it’ll only make them uncomfortable.”

Hearing Qin Xu’s name, father Jiang and mother Jiang thought it sounded familiar but momentarily couldn’t recall where. In fact, they had heard their daughter Jiang Yuan mention his name when she shared various gossip about her school over dinner. She casually mentioned that her brother is a famous character at school and, together with another male student, they are referred to as the school idols. Unfortunately, their relationship wasn’t too good.

To avoid Huang Shao gossiping about it after finding out them living together for the weekend, they even purposely swapped with the students on duty today and allowed Huang Shao, Xie Zhe and the others to head home first.

After a simple clean, they packed up and prepared to head home together.

Jiang Yang subconsciously grabbed his own bike, but Qin Xu threw him his keys while saying: “There are still classmates at school. You should use mine.”

Thinking that it was reasonable, Jiang Yang went over to the other bike. Qin Xu’s bike wasn’t hard to find. The most eye-catching one is naturally his; a red and gold bike with flame patterns on the side.

Jiang Yang stepped onto the pedal and accelerated for a moment while enjoying the breeze.  It is in a man’s nature to love cars. Unfortunately, they are still underaged and could not drive and could only ride bicycles. With a good and expensive bicycle like this, Jiang Yang felt the wind whistling past his ears and felt very exhilarated.

Qin Xu led the way and they entered the gates to a complex. Jiang Yang cleared his face from expressions and brought Qin Xu, the original resident, in as a visitor.

They locked up their bikes and walked in.

A notification sound rang from Qin Xu’s pocket and Qin Xu proceeded to pull his phone out. He glanced at the screen and, as if he had just recalled something, he looked back at Jiang Yang with bright eyes.

Suddenly, he had a bad premonition.

Jiang Yang leaned back, dodging his look of expectation and raised his alertness. It definitely wasn’t something good.

Sure enough, Qin Xu smiled and said: “Let’s have a quick discussion.”

Jiang Yang resolutely shook his head: “No.”

Qin Xu ignored this. He stepped up and looped his hand across his shoulder enthusiastically: “I haven’t finished. It’s actually very simple, a very small thing. Someone as domineering as you should be able to get through it in a blink of an eye.”

He stretched out two fingers and tried to convince him, “This is something I had made an appointment for since a while ago and it must be done tomorrow. It’s just getting a couple of piercings; very quick. I already have the earrings prepared.”

Jiang Yang heard this and immediately frowned. He mercilessly rejected him, “No. Impossible. Not negotiable.”

On his face was a disdainful expression. It was clear that he was wondering why a man would want to get something as sissy as earrings.

Qin Xu didn’t agree with this. There are plenty of men in the world who wear earrings like Beckham and McGrady. How are they sissy? With earrings, they became even more handsome and sexy!

He casually listed a long list of names and sounded very persuasive. Jiang Yang looked at the pictures and had to admit that it really did look manly and not girly. But….Jiang Yang continued to shake his head resolutely.

“Why?” Qin Xu as dissatisfied.
