Chapter 7 - What to Do, My Ex-Girlfriend Wants to Reconcile With Me (1/2)

“I didn’t think you’ll like Chen Xuan Xuan! Clearly, clearly I was the first…”

Wei Ru Song was enlightened.

“So you bullied Xiao Nian also because you thought we were dating?”

“Yeah!” Lin Kai Jie held tightly on to the rose in his hand, with a steady and passionate gaze. “That day behind the curtains you asked up why we thought you were deserving of Xiao Nian, I saw the despair in your eyes, as though Xiao Nian was the bright and shiny Prince Charming, while you were the inconspicuous Cinderella, so I’ll be your knight in shining armour, ok?”

“What, what nonsense are you saying, I’ve never said anything like being undeserving of Xiao Nian!”

Wei Ru Song wanted to grab the rose in Lin Kai Jie’s hand and brandish it harshly in front of his head, but just as he touched the rose stem he was stopped by Xiao Nian from behind. Xiao Nian’s arms were very long, with one move he embraced Wei Ru Song and prevented any motion.

“Senior is really very cute.”

The vibrations from Xiao Nian’s chest as he was speaking were like the reverberations of a cello in a concert hall, maybe because he was surrounded by a warmth not from his body, Wei Ru Song’s body heated up, motionlessly letting Xiao Nian continue hugging from the back, and because of the height difference, he could not see the expression on Xiao Nian’s face.

“Although Senior would sleep talk and scare people, sing loudly and awfully in the shower, make me the scapegoat when losing while playing video games, always stealing my drumstick when eating together…”

“You shut the hell up-“

Wei Ru Song angrily pushed Xiao Nian wanting to cover his mouth, but just as he turned he saw the gentle amusement that could drown a person in Xiao Nian’s eyes.

“But Senior is still very cute, and such a cute senior can only be seen by me.”

“…” Lin Kai Jie was pissed. “Xiao Nian, what do you mean by this?”

Suddenly Wei Ru Song was very afraid of hearing what Xiao Nian might say, it could be because his hopefulness had a little fearfulness threaded through it. This was a feeling that he had never experienced before, Wei Ru Song had never thought that he was actually such a coward. Wei Ru Song quickly replied, pushing the rose back to Lin Kai Jie.

” I hope you can apologise to Xuan Xuan, if you still like her, please treat her nicely. If you’re only using her to agitate me, then you should stop, I admit defeat. Whereas for the part that you said you liked me, thanks, but I don’t have any feelings for you.”

“What about Xiao Nian?”

“What does this have to do with Xiao Nian?” Wei Ru Song became very cautious when mentioning this name, afraid that people would notice something weird. “You keep using Xiao Nian to deflect, have you considered his feelings?”

Lin Kai Jie was silent, Wei Ru Song quickly tried to flee the scene.

“The next class is about to start, go quickly.”

“Are you planning on laughing at me?”

“No I’m not.” Wei Ru Song suspected Lin Kai Jie was not only a masochist but also paranoid. “I’m not gay, but I’m also not homophobic. It’s a very brave thing to be able to confess to the person you like, why would I want to laugh at you?” – You think I have nothing better to do?

Actually the most surprising thing about this situation for Wei Ru Song was Xiao Nian. Wei Ru Song was a little obtuse, but he was not a fool, he was also afraid that he was too presumptuous, and also he… Wei Ru Song had to admit that he did, did, just a little, only a little, maybe perhaps could might like Xiao Nian a little more than normal, he clearly was not gay, but contrary to what was expected, Xiao Nian who was of the same gender as him made him admittedly have a little feeling for him, exactly where did it go wrong…

Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian…

– Right! On the 108th replay of Xiao Nian’s confession-like speech Wei Ru Song recalled an important detail. When did I sleep talk? Why did Xiao Nian never mention this?

“You did,” Xiao Nian closed his book. “Do you want to see it?”

“You still took a video?!” Wei Ru Song squinted his eyes. “Are you thinking of using it to blackmail me?”

“No,” Xiao Nian was surprisingly honest. “It has a wonderful effect when viewing it in a bad mood.”

“Fuck you are you serious, quickly send it to me!”

Wei Ru Song received the video a few seconds later, he had to admire himself for being able to sleep so heavily, even with the flashlight on his face he still did not wake up.

The Wei Ru Song in the video sat upright on the bed, eyes tightly shut, and softly called out.

“Where is my darling concubine?

– Fuck I must have been possessed! This isn’t me! Wei Ru Song wanted to just fall off his bed and die, how come he did not remember having this sort of dream of being an emperor! Wei Ru Song then changed into the posture of a royal concubine, and even pulled down the shoulder strap of his singlet, and replied with a charming high pitched voice.

“Your majesty, I’m here.”
