Chapter 35: Dumbfounded

As the atmosphere continued to remain stagnant around them, someone’s phone started ringing and a low, sexy foreign mans’ voice sang out.

Wu Tong calmly pulled out his phone and, after checking the caller ID, his eyebrows smoothened out. Clearly, his mood had improved significantly. He spoke on the phone in a gentle and patient tone, completely different from the tone he used earlier to threaten Jiang Yang and Qin Xu.

It was only a short conversation, but the onlookers could clearly sense how special the person on the other end must be for Wu Tong. A hint of a smile was evident in his eyes and it was as if there were pink heart bubbles floating around him as he spoke on the phone. It was clearly a scene of someone who is deeply in love.

Oh, it’s so cheesy.

The three people including Xu Jun looked on with disgust. At the same time they could help but feel a little jealous.

When the other person hung up, Qin Xu asked, “Is it He Shuo?”

Wu Tong’s expression immediately sank, and he asked coldly, “How did you know?”

At this moment, Xu Jun was also surprised. He had known Wu Tong since junior high school and had always been annoyed that this brother of his loved to cross-dress and had been doing his best to try and correct his habit almost every day. He had only recently found out that he liked a junior brother called He Shuo so how did these two, who only knew him in high school and are not even in the same class, know?

Qin Xu could tell that Wu Tong’s expression wasn’t too good and knew that he didn’t want others to know about their relationship. He quickly threw the blame onto someone else, “There was a time when Huang Shao saw you and He Shuo getting along well so we assumed that that was the case.

Actually, he and Jiang Yang had accidently seen them together and even followed after them for a while. He Shuo was that tall and strong looking man that was with Wu Tong that other day. After asking around, he found out that he was in the sports strand and is in his first year of high school.

The innocent Huang Shao ended up getting the blame and Jiang Yang once again witnessed how shameless Qin Xu can get. He looked at him with a conflicted expression while Qin Xu looked back at him and indicated with his eyes to cooperate with his lie.

Jiang Yang maintained a straight face and kept quiet. He decided that he would join in with this shameless scheme and didn’t feel bad for it either. In fact, he and Huang Shao have often pushed the blame onto each other and they had long become accustomed to it.

In the end, Wu Tong believed in their lies and patted their shoulders before leaving: “Remember what I said. Don’t say a word to the others. I’ll have to trouble you guys, thanks.”

Despite saying this very politely, the two couldn’t help but feel threatened. The long, meaningful stare at the end made the hairs on their back stand.

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu looked at each other and suddenly felt anxious. However, there wasn’t anything that they could do, so they could only let it go.

After splitting up, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu continued heading to their original destination but this time with a hint of embarrassment. After all, their three views were just shattered, and they still needed some time to recover and slowly reassemble the broken pieces. To put it simply, they just needed some time to reassure themselves that it was no big deal and very normal. Wu Tong is still Wu Tong. Isn’t it just an extra body part and a goddess turning into a fellow brother?

That’s right, it’s nothing much.

Like this, they rearranged their three views and their expressions gradually restored back to their usual calmness. But very quickly, perhaps because they had just witnessed something like that, they had become more sensitive to these things.

As they crossed the road, there was a young couple walking ahead of them. They looked like students and they were holding hands very intimately. The girl is delicate and cute while the boy has a handsome short cut and is dressed in a hip-hop style. Just based on their appearance they looked well-matched…. Until, they heard the “boy” speak.

That soft and sweet sound, a girl?!

They were so shocked that they couldn’t help but stare. Before their hearts could recover from this shock, their hearts were once again delivered a strong blow.

Not long later, they saw another person leaning against the railing on the side of the road holding an ice cream.

Chestnut coloured short hair with curls at the end, a pale and delicate side profile, a long pink oversized t-shirt that made the body look even more petite and a pair of shorts underneath revealing a pair of slim and pale legs.

No matter how you look at it, it should be a lovely and cute little sister right?

But as they got closer and looked more carefully; your mum that’s actually a boy!

What is wrong with this world!

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu’s maintained a calm and stiff expression while they continued yelling out inside. It was as if there was a squealing groundhog inside them.

After being stimulated again and again, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu had unknowingly returned back to their original bodies. They had lunch at a restaurant downstairs and then headed back home side by side.

Qin Xu suddenly reached out to Jiang Yang and made a gesture to attack Jiang Yang’s chest. He placed it on top and for some reason he even groped it a few times. Jiang Yang who reacted a second later instantly responded with his fist.
