Chapter 123: Cant hug. (1/2)

This chapter is brought to you by an anon and Lulith!

You Liangxing was not one to renege after agreeing to a request, which meant that even if Kang Shengzhe were to throw a tantrum and roll about, it would be of no use; he steeled his face and disallowed any oil or salts from entering, and Kang Shengzhe could only stop after pestering him for a time because there were no forthcoming results.

Originally, You Liangxing thought he had lost interest and he was too lazy to kick up another row, but he did not expect that when he was heading out at eight o’ clock, this person would suddenly appear at his dorm to obstruct him. Not only was he righteous sounding in his words, he was even particularly immaculate and confident.

“If you’re going, I’m going too.” Kang Shengzhe said seriously, “You have to bring me.”

There would be ghosts if You Liangxing brought him.

Especially when he had dressed himself up so handsomely!

You Liangxing had chosen to attend the Double 11 evening party precisely because he did not want Kang Shengzhe attending; if Kang Shengzhe were to go, wouldn’t You Liangxing have joined the commotion for nothing?

But rejecting it was completely useless – Kang Shengzhe was akin to a sticky confectionery and he followed him from the dorm to the music building where the evening party was held, and he was impossible to shrug off.

“You-xuezhang!!”

As both parties were deadlocked, the female student who had previously invited You Liangxing ran over in high spirits, and seeing that Kang Shengzhe was present too, her eyes were so bright they were almost capable of emitting light. “Kang Shengzhe came too! Oh my god, this is great!! It’ll definitely be particularly lively later!”

You Liangxing had every intention to clarify that Kang Shengzhe was not here to attend the evening party but the female student was already leading them towards the backstage in an eager and exuberant manner. “After hearing that You-xuezhang would be attending, the people at the front have been packed to the brim, and we can only make do by entering through the back.”

Since the opportunity was lost, it was only logical for Kang Shengzhe to stay and the man was radiant with delight. Feeling increasingly annoyed by his attitude, You Liangxing could not resist glaring at him.

“The evening party has already started, but you guys can join when the second round of games start. When you hear the front announcing the event items and calling people up, both of you can go out together, hahaha I didn’t expect that Kang Shengzhe would want to attend too, give me a moment, I need to inform the emcee.”

Even though he was merely another guest in the game, his presence required a special notice, which evidently showed that it was not far-fetched to proclaim that Kang Shengzhe’s popularity had skyrocketed during You Liangxing’s absence in school.

When he thought about that, You Liangxing’s vexation stepped up a notch.

Although they were backstage, Kang Shengzhe could still perceive that situation below the stage by peeking around the raised curtains at an angle. His mouth was lined with a smile and his entire body exuded a certain sense of self-satisfaction.

Probably because the people under the stage had noticed the “peeking through the curtains” Kang Shengzhe, a cacophony of female voices shrieked out his name.

Kang Shengzhe held his hand in a hurry, face full of smiles.

You Liangxing said: “… What are you holding my hand for.”

Kang Shengzhe: “I saw Liao Su and Liang Chulin, they’re…” As he said that, he abruptly found that You Liangxing’s tone sounded strange. Turning his head back, he asked, “Liang Liang, what are you being angry for?”

After receiving his query, You Liangxing paused for two seconds before he said: “I’m not angry.”

“You are angry, look at the space between your eyebrows, its currently shorter by three millimetres,” said Kang Shengzhe.

Right before his eyes, that big and tall man leaned closer and You Liangxing hit him away like he would a fly. Before he had the time to say anything else, the emcee at the front shouted You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe’s name.

“Yi, so fast?”

It certainly was fast. The female student rushed over in a flurry, enthusiasm visible in her hand gestures and countenance as she urged them, “School senior, school senior! Time to go up on stage!”

You Liangxing nodded and pushed opened the door, traversing through the darkness to reach the stage.

From the back to front stage, the lights were incandescent. The moment You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe went up on stage in a few strides, the emcee revealed a grin right away and interacted with the people below the stage: “Do you recognise these two?”

The audience’s response was like a tide, “You-xuezhang!!! Ahhhhhhh You-xuezhang!!!”

“Kang Shengzhe!!”

Including them, there were two Year Two and Year Three school seniors on stage as well; the school union and school management association managed to invite four guests in total. Each and every one of them were in the ranking list for the top five most handsome men in school, but You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe’s popularity was significantly higher. When the shouts started, only You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe’s name could be distinguished in all the overlapping noises.

Despite their recent appearance, the yells for them resounded through the entire floor and the degree of heat was far higher than what the emceed imagined. This sort of atmosphere was extremely infectious and even the emcee was not spared from its influence as his words became bolder and more unrestrained.

“Singles’ Day’s Double 11, let me see how many people are still bachelor and bachelorettes! Aiyo, are those below the stage all single dogs, if you’re not, please raise your hands up high! Are there people raising theirs hands! En, thankfully there’s none! If there are, this emcee will personally go down and cross them out!”

A wave of laughter swept through the audience and the emcee turned his head back to point at the four individuals on stage, “Is this line-up strong enough, and are they handsome enough!”

The audience answered in the positive: “Handsome enough!!”

“Who’s the most handsome!!”

With regards to popularity, You Liangxing was the overwhelming number one, but in this sort of scene, everyone was more considerate and they shouted loudly, “Everyone is handsome!”

In the midst of the heaven shaking screams, a very recognisable voice from the stage yelled out, “You Liangxing is the most handsome!”

The emcee turned his head back. With a flustered face that could rival the girls below the stage, Kang Shengzhe was currently yelling: “You Liangxing— most handsome! You Liangxing— most handsome!”

All the gazes at the scene landed on Kang Shengzhe’s person but Kang Shengzhe did not have any desire to repent or mend his ways. Wielding his two-metre-tall height, he stood out like a fan who was bold and self-confident since he was assured that justice was on his side.

Immediately, a wave of hissing and jeering rose in the surroundings. The campus was still circulating the matter of Kang Shengzhe and You Liangxing’s special relationship and now that they saw it live, some people cheered while others applauded.

The opening deviated from normal behaviour, causing You Liangxing’s blue veins to jump in a lively manner. His temper surged, but when he turned around to see Kang Shengzhe’s smug attitude, his heart relaxed again, delight superseding his previous emotions for no apparent reason.
