Chapter 29 - What to Do, There’s A Third Party Involved With My Roommate and Me (2/2)
“I don’t believe that you won’t be like this if something happens to Xiao Nian,” Huang Fan always like to provide stupid ideas, but they sometimes came in handy. “Back to topic, I feel that, you should talk to Xiao Nian, and ask him not to be so close to that guy.”
“Actually the problem doesn’t lie with Xiao Nian,” In Wei Ru Song’s heart, his beauty filter on Xiao Nian was at a full 100%, even Xiao Nian’s farts would smell good to him. “Shen Wan Qing is the one sticking to him.”
“He has feelings for Xiao Nian?”
“I’m 99% sure.”
“Fuck, this makes me want to have feelings for Xiao Nian too.”
Xu Yang Sheng drooled, his backside was then kicked by Huang Fan, he immediately howled in pain.
”Why don’t you invite that Shen Wan Qing to talk, we’ll support you.” Huang Fan’s grandiose way of thinking was like a gangster. “I’ll find a few people to come, if he doesn’t listen we’ll beat him up.”
“Don’t, don’t, you’re making it seem like we’re like elementary students scheduling a fight, what’s more it’s a gang fight…” Wei Ru Song had skills, he could beat up ten Shen Wan Qings by himself, no need for backups, “I’ll talk to him myself.”
“That’s fine too, look for us if you need anything, we’ll always be your eternal support.”
“You’re my good brothers, no need to say anymore, let me tell you a secret,” Wei Ru Song solemnly patted Huang Fan’s and Xu Yang Sheng’s shoulders, crooking his finger mysteriously at the both of them, Huang Fan and Xu Yang Sheng hurriedly tilted their ears over, “Watsons’ having a 20% sale tomorrow, you guys can stock up on condoms.”
When Wei Ru Song thought about it again, if this was to be discussed in front of everyone it would become a joke, making him seem like the evil second female lead found in idol dramas, interrogating the innocent Shen Wan Qing:
“Do you have any wishful thinking for Xiao Nian? Just say it, how much money do you want then you’ll leave Xiao Nian alone!”
No, back to topic, Wei Ru Song did not want Xiao Nian to think that he was immature, after all Xiao Nian had never expressed any annoyance towards Shen Wan Qing, like this there was no way he could make a fuss about it.
There was no choice, Wei Ru Song could only secretly search Baidu on his phone: “How to confront a third party?” The results displayed a bunch of contact information for emotional counselling as well as ridiculous methods to attack the third party: firmly standby your position as the first wife, control your emotions, stop having catfights with the third party and accusing your husband, expand your social network so to restore your charm…
Fine, but to be truthful, Xiao Nian and him were only lovers, not husband and wife, if he really fell in love with someone else, then Wei Ru Song would– would not be able to do anything too.
Even the emotionally-retarded Xiao Nian could see that Wei Ru Song was unhappy, especially when the school break would arrive next week, he also was no longer as intimate with Wei Ru Song as before, with Wei Ru Song’s stubborn character he would never admit it, he would rather Xiao Nian to realise it himself and look for him instead.
Finally one night as they were revising, Xiao Nian shoved a cigarette box into his pocket, and called out to Wei Ru Song.
“Senior, go up and have a smoke with me.”
“I’ll go too I’ll go too.”
Shen Wan Qing with a twist of his butt wanted to tag along, Wei Ru Song looked at him being so enthusiastic, he was despondent, he stood up only to sit down again.
“You smoke?”
“If you teach me I’ll know how to do it!”
“Don’t be stupid,” Wei Ru Song did not see Shen Wan Qing’s face fall. “Senior, let’s go.”
Xiao Nian and Wei Ru Song went to the rooftop together, the summer breeze was refreshing, tousling Xiao Nian’s hair, presently a perfectly youthful side profile, Wei Ru Song as though seeing the light for the first time, quietly studied Xiao Nian, the world looked so much brighter now.
“Cigarette.” Wei Ru Song held his hand out to Xiao Nian.
“Not giving it to you,” Xiao Nian did not take out the box, “Smoking is bad for your health.”
“Then why did you ask me up here?”
“For a date,” Xiao Nian replied calmly. “We haven’t been alone in awhile already.”
“You also realised,” Wei Ru Song said sourly, his own words making him feel the sourness in his teeth, making him feel like he was a jealous woman. “No, I mean–“
Xiao Nian at this moment was astute, he stared at Wei Ru Song’s exasperated face for awhile, and could not help but laugh.
“Got jealous?”
“I–” No! That was false, so what if he was a guy, he was human too, guys can also get jealous! Wei Ru Song refused to comply. “That’s right! I’m jealous! Even if you say I’m small-minded I’ll still say it, it’s suffocating me to death!”
“Suffocating to death–“
Wei Ru Song clasped Xiao Nian’s neck, looking up and kissing him, like the kissing scene from <Waterloo Bridge>, kissing Xiao Nian to the point where he could not speak.
“Senior, actually I’ve never told you about something,” After their mouths separated, the flames of desire burning in their eyes, “Shen Wan Qing is my cousin.”
