Chapter 82: This apartment building is mine. (1/2)

You Liangxing did not know what was pumping in that brain of his or perhaps it might have been the work of gods and demons, because he actually allowed Kang Shengzhe to pull him away. By the time he reacted, first by squeezing out a silent, black question mark, he was already a distance away from A University, walking side by side with Kang Shengzhe on a road strewn with maple leaves.

… Why did he actually follow him out?

The members of the student union were still in the dormitory building.

The idea of turning around, however, went up in smokes and disappeared the moment he was met with Kang Shengzhe’s curved brows and eyes. You Liangxing told himself that he should not repeat such an action in the future and texted Liao Su to inform him before he continued to walk down the small road he had traversed countless of times in the past two years with Kang Shengzhe.

The scenery still remained the same. He did not know why but, with the change of his companion, the experience felt rather different.

Inexplicably, You Liangxing felt a tad sensitive, and as he gazed at his surroundings, they seemed to bring a meaning that was not present in the past.

Kang Shengzhe was in a good mood. As they walked past the football field, he laughed lightly, saying, “When I was younger, I liked coming to A University to play. My mom was a student who graduated from A University and our house was nearby. Whenever we had nothing to do, she would bring me here for a stroll, but that football field wasn’t a grass lawn back when I was a kid. Instead, it was just a pure dirt ground, and I used to play wrestle a lot around there.”

They had known each other for quite some time but they hadn’t seen each other for a while. Thus, even-tempered and good-humoured conversations like these, where they had a start and finish, was rare for them. You Liangxing said, “Play wrestle, I thought you…”

Kang Shengzhe: “What did you think?”

You Liangxing thought about it. “I thought you were the type who would stand by the side and watch others wrestle, and you wouldn’t even move an inch.”

Chuckling, Kang Shengzhe said, “Liang Liang truly knows me well. I usually waited for the other kids to finish fighting before I went to roll around in the dirt to cooperate with their performance. Afterwards, I would cry while I was all muddy and ask for a medical leave so that I could laze at home and not go to school.”

You Liangxing was surprised: “Did you manage to ask for a leave?”

Kang Shengzhe had a face of pride: “I didn’t manage to get a leave.”

You Liangxing: “……”

Kang Shengzhe’s expression became stronger, “However, you must be willing to try in life.”

You Liangxing sighed with emotion, “Luckily, you managed to enter A University.”

Not only did Kang Shengzhe manage to enroll into A university, he was even the top Liberal Arts Scholar in City A. Looking at his results, no one would have suspected that he had slept in during his college entrance examinations and he had an unchanging lazy personality from young up until now.

Kang Shengzhe smiled. “In life, there are two types of things: things that don’t necessarily have to be done, and things that absolutely need to be done. Therefore, I just have to do the things that need to be done well, and slack off on the rest, how great is that?”

“Other than the things that need to be done, you’d do nothing else?”

Kang Shengzhe: “That’s right.”

“Then why did you pull me out to slack off together?”

Kang Shengzhe blinked and corrected him: “It’s not called pulling you out to slack off together, it’s called taking a stroll together with you. In my opinion, taking a stroll with you is something I have to do.”

Those words seem to hold a profound meaning behind them, and You Liangxing could not help but lift his head to look at Kang Shengzhe. Mid-air, his gaze clashed with Kang Shengzhe’s smiling eyes, and very quickly, as if he had been scalded, You Liangxing swiftly looked away.

Kang Shengzhe did not pursue it and changed the topic instead. “Liang Liang, listen to this.”

You Liangxing said: “Listen to?”

“The wind,” said Kang Shengzhe.

Along the road of A University’s campus, there were students passing by from time to time. The basketball court in the distance was quite noisy and the air was a little hot and humid. In this sort of environment, he wanted him to listen to the wind?

He felt strange, but once he saw Kang Shengzhe’s serious expression, You Liangxing chose not to question him. Carefully, he tried to feel around before he replied, “I can’t hear it.”

Kang Shengzhe said: “Close your eyes.”

You Liangxing closed his eyes as instructed and his eyes went dark. The sounds around him started to amplify, but suddenly, You Liangxing felt that there was something strange by his ear. An exhale. Someone blew a breath into his ears.

You Liangxing: “……”

He opened his eyes and almost uttered a curse. After enduring and enduring, he spat out, “Are you sick?”

Innocently, Kang Shengzhe said, “Liang Liang~ A handsome man shouldn’t be so unsentimental.”

You Liangxing could not see any sentiment in it at all, but looking at Kang Shengzhe who was teasing him and taking advantage of him made him sneer. Then, he delivered a fierce punch towards Kang Shengzhe’s stomach, which made the taller man turn obedient for a minute.

After the minute was up, he recovered his grinning expression. “Worth it, worth it~”

You Liangxing: “……”

You Liangxing felt the onset of an irritation-induced headache. Unfortunately, a punch could not silence the poisonous animal that was Kang Shengzhe, and even eye rolling would achieve no effect. Noticing that they were about to walk around A University’s campus once, and it was about to be eight in the evening, You Liangxing opened his mouth to say: “We should be going back soon.” After confirming the time, he added, “You’re not broadcasting today?”

Kang Shengzhe said, “Don’t have a choice, I had to take a leave.”

It was no wonder considering how busy the start of university could get and taking a leave was unavoidable. Suddenly, You Liangxing remembered what the freshman in 507 had said, of how Kang Shengzhe had yet to clean up. If he did not go back now, he did know what time he would have to stay up until tonight.

Kang Shengzhe said: “I don’t need to clean it up, I’m not staying in school.”

The fact that You Liangxing understood his circumstances made it easier for Kang Shengzhe to explain. “It’s inconvenient for me to stay in school when I have to broadcast every day, which is why I need to find a house outside. I was delayed for a while today because of my accommodations, but I’ll be moving out in a few days.”
