Chapter 59 - Clinging to You (2/2)

Jiang Yang couldn’t help but mull over it. The look of repentance on his face was clearly seen by Qin Xu who was secretly watching him.

“Let me stay for one night okay?” Qin Xu’s tone was softer and slightly hoarse. It made it difficult for people to refuse.

Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Just tonight.”

However, Jiang Yang had actually forgotten something important. With the door now opened, how could this person who likes to take more than he is allowed to just settle with this? He naturally would seize the opportunity to grab firmly onto the doorframe and forcefully push the door open.

Humans, they’re naturally greedy animals.

Qin Xu was now satisfied. He smiled until his eye squinted and curved and he happily played games while sitting shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Yang. What was going on in his mind however was; ‘Another step forward. Next time, he should continue to move forward a few steps.’

Of course, if there is one, there is two. Next time, his request will also be even more outrageous.

The next day, Qin Xu was looking at his phone with pure concentration in the classroom. Xie Zhe curiously moved over and asked: “Xu brother. What are you looking at?”

Qin Xu didn’t even look up, “Studying.”

Xie Zhe leaned down and glanced at the screen briefly. After seeing the contents, all he wanted to say was, what the hell?

This was because what Qin Xu was looking at was a website about parenting. It discussed things such as what parents should do if their child is unwilling to share their toys, what to do if the child refuses to sleep unless they watch cartoon beforehand and the likes.

Xie Zhe was speechless: “Xu brother. Why are you look at that? Are you going to be a father?”

This was obviously impossible.

Qin Xu was also too lazy to explain. He only threw out a sentence, “I think it’s very useful.”

Xie Zhe was even more confused. Useful? How is it useful? Who is it useful for?

During language class, the teacher eloquently analysed and explained the theories behind classical Chinese texts. Jiang Yang however could hear strange noises coming from next to him. It sounded like someone was desperately trying to conceal it, but small noises leaked out every now and then.

Jiang Yang followed the noise and saw that it came from Qin Xu. He had his whole body sprawled over the table while he used his hand to cover his mouth and his eyes were looking at a book that was standing up in front of him. Of course, it was not a textbook. Instead, it was the comic book that he had borrowed. Every now and then he would start laughing like some lunatic and his body trembled uncontrollably.

That idiotic appearance of his actually made Jiang Yang miss the Qin Xu from the past. The one who liked to act cold and expressionless and would always have an icy look that would make people too afraid to approach him.

Jiang Yang used his pen to poke him and said, “Let me read next.”

Qin Xu looked over at him and nodded. He even wanted to share with Jiang Yang the hilarious plot that he had just read but he could only give up first as he didn’t want to be caught by the teacher.

But sometimes, people easily jinx themselves.

The teacher standing at the podium, with a stern expression and godly eyes that were on par with x-rays, scanned across the room before stopping in their direction: “Qin Xu. Answer the next question.”

The smile on Qin Xu’s face gradually disappeared……..

With the smile on his face gone, he transitioned from extreme happiness to depressing sorrow in less than two seconds.

Qin Xu with his sullen face stood up slowly. He was completely confused and had no idea which question the teacher was referring to.

Qin Xu was very sad, but this made Jiang Yang who sat next to him almost lose his breath from laughing too hard. If not for the teacher being present, Jiang Yang would’ve laughed out loud while hitting the table as he watched his desk partner’s misfortunes.

Qin Xu pouted and sneakily glanced over to Jiang Yang, “Which question?”

Jiang Yang did his best not to laugh and leaned over the table with his hand next to his mouth, “Seventh, seventh question…..”

Qin Xu was standing so there was some distance between them and he couldn’t hear him clearly. He also didn’t know how to read lips, so he could only anxiously bend down and whisper again: “Which question?”

When Jiang Yang was getting ready to repeat his answer, the teacher interrupted him. He deliberately covered his mouth and coughed a few times while saying stoically: “Jiang Yang if you try to help him out I’ll make both of you to copy the text out ten times.

Jiang Yang could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands as silent demonstration of —– Can’t help you now.

Qin Xu looked up to the sky and sighed. He could only say honestly: “I don’t know.”

The teacher smiled: “Then why aren’t you paying attention to class? Are you still going to laugh? Are you still going to play around?”

Qin Xu could only silently exclaim, teacher everything you say is right. Everything is as you have said.

After this, the teacher nodded his head reluctantly and allowed him to sit back down. Of course, he still gave Qin Xu the punishment of copying the text five times to strengthen his memory and practice his handwriting.

After sitting back down, Qin Xu’s eyes had become sorrowful and sad. He even took the opportunity when Jiang Yang was not paying attention to firmly grasp onto his hand.

Jiang Yang struggled for a while but to no avail. The moment he saw Qin Xu’s face, he couldn’t help but remember the earlier incident and snorted. He couldn’t supress his laughter and could only look down with his mouth covered as his shoulders shuddered uncontrollably.

Qin Xu glared at him resentfully.

Jiang Yang: “………Pfft.”

It could be said that he didn’t give Qin Xu any face.
