Chapter 49: Who will you pick? (1/2)

Thank you Winxer for the Ko-Fi

After ascertaining the cause and effect, the first emotion that had struck You Liangxing first was none other than extreme offense. The umbrage he felt was different from the sort that he would typically experience whenever he was talking to Ah Sheng; it was genuine, in every sense of the word, annoyance.

As he recalled the time he had spent with Ah Sheng, the bitterness and disappointment he felt increased the longer he thought back about it. After that debacle, he had shut off his phone and took a cold shower before his brain gradually calmed down. Even though he had composed himself, the rage was not quelled; rather, he felt like he was smoking embers, and it had burned away any intention of sleep at that moment.

Half a month. It could not be considered as long, but it was not short either. To You Liangxing, Ah Sheng had imperceptibly occupied much of his thoughts in that span of time. He had even considered whether he should meet the other party or not… But now that he thought about it, he became even angrier.

Why was he being treated as a girl? He had always regarded Ah Sheng as a friend.

You Liangxing had laid down on his bed but sleep had eluded him. As he was tossing and turning, his mind could not shrug off the previous happenings. Ah Sheng was an anchor, and he was Liao Su’s favourite anchor KK, and the anchor he followed as well….

In the split-moment, something sparked in You Liangxing’s mind, startling him and giving him a pause.

Liao Su? Some time ago, he seemed to have asked Liao Su and Ah Sheng to game together. At that time, how did he introduce him to Ah Sheng?

Due to the stirrings of guilt he had felt back when, he remembered the proceedings clearly. He had told Ah Sheng that Liao Su was his dorm mate…

Dorm mate. Afterwards, Liao Su had casually shown off the prowess of his windpipe in the voice chat.

You Liangxing: ……

That meant that, as long as Ah Sheng was not too stupid, he already knew he was a man. Furthermore, when he examined the time they spent interacting with each other, You Liangxing never felt as though the other party had been treating him as a girl.

With the sudden epiphany, the resulting effect was as if the winds had parted the fog. Although You Liangxing was not conscious of it, his expression had cleared up by several degrees.

Therefore, he was the one who had jumped to conclusions, and he had misunderstood something.

As he thought about how he had cold shouldered Ah Sheng and left the game without even listening to his explanation now, You Liangxing felt an unspeakable embarrassment in retrospect.

He had intended to make some clarifications to Ah Sheng right away but because his mood had changed too much and too quickly, it caused You Liangxing to hesitate. And this hesitation was still You Liangxing’s pre-existing regret.

The beginnings of his regrets started at dawn where You Liangxing had yet to get a wink of sleep.

There was a knock on the door. “Cleaning services.”

The cleaning services seemed a little earlier this time around. While You Liangxing was having his doubts, the knocks at the door continued without stopping. You Liangxing said: “Wait a moment.”

He had just opened the door by half when a fair and clear hand reached in, holding a high heel in a tight grip. Without a word, it was thrown at You Liangxing’s leg, forcing him to back away. Then, his assailant had seized the opportunity and forced their way into the room.

Hands mimicking a gun, Bai Yao said seriously: “Don’t move, raise your hands! You have been arrested, you can choose to remain silent or speak, but remember that every sentence you say will be presented as evidence!”

You Liangxing: “……”

Bai Yao: “React a little.”

You Liangxing: “…..Tch.”

The memories came to an abrupt halt, and You Liangxing turned his head to the Bai Yao who had caught him in early in the morning. The white fairy maiden who had been slumbering was staring at him with big eyes. “What are you thinking about?”

You Liangxing said at length: “My phone.”

Bai Yao: “Not giving.”

After catching You Liangxing, Bai Yao had confiscated his phone to prevent him from running. You Liangxing sighed and turned his head back. While he did not insist on having his phone returned back to him, he seemed somewhat listless.

Although it was undeniable that he wanted to get his mobile phone back as soon as possible to contact Ah Sheng, it was also true that he was undecided on how he should reply and what kind of attitude he should have with regards to Ah Sheng.

Yao Miaomiao called out, “Sister Yaoyao?”

Bai Yao said, “En.” As she eyed at the time, she brushed away any flaw present in her appearance as well. A celebrity was supposed to look perfect at any given time, and even if they were in private settings, they had to beautiful to the extent where they could cause the world to explode.

“Okay, let’s go.”
