Chapter 85: Two against two. (1/2)

Another new day began. The schedule was densely packed; while other new students were busy with the necessary formalities to enrol into the school, Kang Shengzhe was busy moving things into his house, from items that would remain in his apartment long term to the basic necessities which would be temporarily stored at You Liangxing’s dormitory.

Although the commute from the apartment to school was all right on normal days, it was still considered far and somewhat inconvenient during military training. However, considering the circumstance where Kang Shengzhe still needed to stream at night, it was not realistic for him to live in a collective dormitory. Thus, after a brief discussion, You Liangxing and Liao Su decided to lend one of the bed spaces in their dorm to Kang Shengzhe for the time being.

As a KK fan, Liao Su could not be happier about the fact that he could room together with his idol, and due to his overwhelming joy, he completely forgot about You Liangxing leaving early in spite of his position as the Student Union President.

It should come as no surprise then, that Liao Su took the initiative to offer to help him move before Kang Shengzhe even had the chance to open his mouth to ask. With three people moving the items instead of two, the speed that they progressed at increased significantly.

Everything went smoothly, save one inexplicable matter. Without any rhyme or reason, one of Kang Shengzhe’s eyes looked slightly green, and in order to cover it up, Kang Shengzhe even deliberately bought a box of concealers and sponges as they were passing by a cosmetic store and he carefully slipped them into his bag.

Liao Su felt that it was very strange: “God K, why do you need to buy an entire box of it?”

Kang Shengzhe replied mysteriously, “You don’t understand, there’s a lot of places where it can be used in the future.”

Liao Su was baffled. According to what he heard, Kang Shengzhe had accidentally ran himself into a wall, resulting in the discolouration to his eye. But now that he heard that ‘there were a lot of places where it can be used the future’ from God K, his senses immediately started tingling. “God K, is your eyesight that bad?”

Does he run himself into a wall every once in a while? Why didn’t he notice it during his regular live broadcasts?

Kang Shengzhe smiled, “It’s for personal pleasure.”

Liao Su: “…emmmm.” A great god was indeed a great god; even his personal pleasures were weird.

You Liangxing, who had been listening at the side lines quietly, did not make a sound. From time to time, however, he would laugh coldly at Kang Shengzhe’s words with an indifferent tonality, and it was so cold Liao Su started going numb at his back. On the inverse, Kang Shengzhe’s smile became more radiant with each instance that You Liangxing laughed coldly. With his attitude, he was like a martyr who did not fear life and death as he continued to talk and laugh merrily.

It was already evening when they returned back to school after they were done with moving and the two-day duration for the freshmen to report in was coming to an end. While Kang Shengzhe was rolling around on You Liangxing’s bed like his life depended on it, the whole school started distributing the military training uniforms to the entire freshmen cohort based on their various faculties.

Kang Shengzhe had returned to the school late, and most of the freshmen had already received their uniforms. Like a slug, he refused to leave the dorm and You Liangxing had to drag him off his bed by his legs.

With a groaning noise, Kang Shengzhe finally moved out of You Liangxing’s dorm, and Liao Su, who had played witness to Kang Shengzhe rolling around on You Liangxing’s bed, had a complicated expression on his face.

From the moment where Kang Shengzhe had pounced on You Liangxing’s bed with an enthusiastic countenance until the moment where Kang Shengzhe left, Liao Su had stood rooted to ground, watching. He stared at the bed that had been wrinkled from the excessive rolling and stuttered out, “Brother Liang, God K, is he…”

You Liangxing stiffened, saying, “What.”

Liao Su: “Towards you, is he…”

You Liangxing’s heart lurched and it immediately started beating faster. He did not know how much Liao Su had seen, but once he carefully thought about it, Kang Shengzhe hadn’t bothered to hide the feelings he had for him. And Liao Su was not blind either; it was not difficult for him to catch a hint of what was going on.

Had it been before last night, where You Liangxing was not certain of Kang Shengzhe’s feelings, he would not have been concerned about what others had to say. However, owing to the fact that everything had been laid out last night, You Liangxing was particularly sensitive to such details at the current moment.

Such disturbances were rare for You Liangxing, he said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Liao Su’s expression was solemn. Lowering his voice, he uttered, “Is he trying to provoke you? Look at him; he just deliberately rolled all the dust on his body onto your bed.”

You Liangxing: “……”

Liao Su’s visage was brimming with incredulity. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

You Liangxing decided to close his eyes.

As they were talking, Kang Shengzhe who had supposedly left suddenly peeked his head back into the door and shouted, “Hey, Liang Liang!”

You Liangxing stared at him and asked coldly: “What is it?”

Kang Shengzhe: “I forgot something.”

You Liangxing was at a loss. He was about to ask what he could possibly need to bring to collect his military training uniform when Kang Shengzhe suddenly grabbed his hand and interlocked their fingers together. Grinning, he murmured, “I found it.”

This was not the first time You Liangxing held hands with him, but it was definitely the first time they had done so while he was cognizant of it. His palms heated up but he did not shake him off. Afraid that the oblivious Liao Su would see it, You Liangxing glared at Kang Shengzhe and kicked him in the knee to force him out of the room while he followed him out of the door.

Liao Su wondered: “Brother Liang?”

You Liangxing glared but Kang Shengzhe did not have the slightest intention to let go. In fact, he even leaned closer and said: “Let’s go for a walk together, please? We’ll be very busy for the next few days because of the military training, and I won’t be able to see you.”

Kang Shengzhe’s breath was close to his ear and You Liangxing did not say a word. Meanwhile, Liao Su queried from inside the room: “Brother Liang?”

Frowning, You Liangxing stated coldly, “I’m going out for a while.” Instead of rejecting Kang Shengzhe, he said that for Liao Su to hear.

Liao Su said: “Ah? Why are you going out at this time? Aren’t we going to the cafeteria to eat dinner, Brother Liang, you…”

The rest of Liao Su’s words became incoherent as Kang Shengzhe had already pulled him out of the dormitory.

When they were outside, they could not hold hands and Kang Shengzhe did not bother to disguise the regret he felt, and his want to hold hands with him was written all over his face. You Liangxing glared at him in reply, and two big words were clearly expressed in his eyes: Get lost.
