Ch28 - Sounding Ou (1/2)
This was the first time for Yu Hao to encounter someone who ordered this many dishes, so he quickly said, “Don’t order so much, it’ll be a waste.”

“We can finish it.” Zhou Sheng said, “Do you have some sort of misunderstanding about how much I can eat?”
Everyone laughed again. Yu Hao said, “Okay then, if we can’t finish the food we can pack it away and bring it back. It’ll be enough to eat for several days.”
“We can’t bring any back, if my Mum knows that we came here, she’ll turn into a madwoman.” Zhou Sheng said to the foreman, “Bring two strips of Agarwood over.”

The foreman brought over two strips of cigarettes that Yu Hao had never seen before, then Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, “Put them all in your bag, my Mum won’t rummage through yours. When we get back to college, we can give them to the others.”
The dishes they ordered filled their huge table. Zhou Sheng poured a cup of tea for Yu Hao and asked, “What did you want to talk to me about?”
All the waiters sensibly stepped out, so only Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao remained in the palatial room. The impact of this scene was truly too strong, so Yu Hao was trapped in a daze for awhile. However, when Zhou Sheng was the one putting on such a show of extravagance, it was nothing like going to Chen Yekai’s house, since no sense of inferiority emerged in Yu Hao’s heart.
Perhaps it was because of this guy’s sloppy appearance as he sat in front of him. It stood in stark contrast to this opulent scene, and the difference was so striking that it seemed a bit absurd, as if the drawing style of this scene had changed within an instant.
A few days ago, he was still living in a down-to-earth documentary about an impoverished student that was playing on CCTV-8, but within the blink of an eye, he suddenly transmigrated into an idol drama where the characters were indulging in a life of luxury.
“Nothing much.” Yu Hao said in the end.
Zhou Sheng lowered his voice and said, “I’ll tell you a secret, Yu Hao.”

Yu Hao, “……”
Yu Hao didn’t know what to expect so he leaned in closer apprehensively. Yet Zhou Sheng said mysteriously, “Actually, everything here today is totally fake! I was deceiving you!”
“My Dad isn’t the boss of Yun Lai Chun! I paid over 20,000 yuan today to get everyone here to act this all out with me! When we return, you’ll need to pay my credit card bills! Let’s both go wash the dishes ba!”
Yu Hao immediately spat out a mouthful of soup. Zhou Sheng burst into laughter and motioned for him to continue eating and indicated that he wouldn’t tease him anymore. Halfway through their meal, someone knocked on the door and came in. Zhou Sheng impatiently chased that person away — the one who had come in was a man who looked to be about thirty years old. After he retreated to the door, he said respectfully towards them, “Director Zhou is out of town today.”

“I especially chose this time to come because he’s away.” Zhou Sheng said, “Is it strange?” Then he said to Yu Hao, “My Dad’s chauffeur.”
“Director Zhou said,” That man continued, “If you need to use the car later, please let me know. He asked me to accompany both of you to the department store and buy something good for the New Year.”
Zhou Sheng said, “We won’t go, I have legs. Close the door, it’s so damn noisy outside.”

The chauffeur closed the door with very precise and clean movements, Yu Hao said, “Don’t be like that. You’re so polite to the staff here, so why are you so aggressive towards your father’s chauffeur?”
“He often uses his position to bully the staff.” Zhou Sheng snorted disdainfully, “Disgust’s mother would cry as she says, ‘so damn disgusting’.”
Yu Hao could only say, “I take my words back.”
Zhou Sheng said with concern, “Eat a little more, I won’t be cooking after tomorrow. I’ll let you have a taste of my Mum’s universally appalling Motherwort bitter gourd stew with fish soup.”
When Zhou Sheng saw the expression on Yu Hao’s face, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t sit up straight anymore. Yu Hao said, “You must be doing this out of revenge!”
“What am I taking revenge for?” Zhou Sheng tried to hold his laughter back and asked seriously.
“For abducting you home!” Yu Hao felt like after Zhou Sheng came back, he began to let go of himself more and seemed a little different from how he was at school, though he couldn’t explain how he was different.

“Just eat ba.” Zhou Sheng said, “Do you want the Hermes scarf that Kaikai wears? Get that chauffeur outside to buy 10 of those for you.”
“No need.” Yu Hao said expressionlessly.
“Do your friends know that you’re……you’re……”

“The young master of Yun Lai Chun?” Zhou Sheng continued his sentence for him.
Zhou Sheng was riding his bike while Yu Hao sat on the front bumper. After their dinner, they wanted to slowly ride back home to digest their meal. Yu Hao had stuffed himself so much that he almost vomited.
“Un.”

“In high school, some knew, and some didn’t.” Zhou Sheng answered, “In college, no one knows.”

“There’s no ‘why’.” Zhou Sheng said, “Laozi wanted to.”
“Why do you take care of me so much?” Yu Hao suddenly asked again.
Zhou Sheng, “Yo, you’re stirring things up again. Could you not be so corny?”
Zhou Sheng stopped. He supported his bicycle with one foot as he said, “Yu Hao, why have you been so strange lately? What the hell do you want to say? Don’t tell me you’re really going to confess to Laozi ba? I’m not gay, I like girls!”
Yu Hao’s heart jolted. He hurriedly clarified, “No! Let’s go ba.”

Zhou Sheng sized Yu Hao up with a doubtful look and said, “Oh right. Yu Hao, are you gay?”
Yu Hao could only say, “How could I be?! I like girls too!”
Zhou Sheng studied Yu Hao and asked suspiciously, “Really?”
Yu Hao’s thoughts were immediately reduced to a chaotic mess. Countless thoughts surfaced in his mind: Zhou Sheng was a straight guy through and through, but on the train, he had a vague feeling that he had begun liking him a little. No matter if……he was the “General” in his dream.

When Yu Hao was cornered like this, he instantly panicked, as if all his plans had fallen apart without warning.
Yu Hao hastily asked, “Have you ever been liked by a guy?”
“Never!” Zhou Sheng said angrily.

“It’s not like I said you liked guys.” Yu Hao didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, “Being pursued by a guy isn’t something you can decide.”
Zhou Sheng said seriously, “Never.”
“Let’s go, let’s go.” Yu Hao urged.
“It’s a red light!” Zhou Sheng said, “Where are you looking at?”
Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng suddenly began laughing again. Yu Hao laughed so hard he leaned over the handlebars. Zhou Sheng had one foot on the pedal while his other foot was planted on the ground, and after they laughed for awhile, he suddenly raised his hand to rub Yu Hao’s head.
Yu Hao understood. Zhou Sheng might just treat him as a younger brother that he needed to take care of — such protective tendencies were a man’s natural instinct.
“I have a girl I like.” Yu Hao suddenly said.

“Oh.” Zhou Sheng looked at the cars on both sides of the road a bit absent-mindedly, “And?”
Yu Hao said, “I don’t have the guts to confess; I’m really too poor.”
Yu Hao thought Zhou Sheng would sigh ruefully or something, yet he suddenly uttered an earth-shattering shout, “Good job!”

Yu Hao, “……”
Zhou Sheng said, “Swear to be a single dog for life! It’s great to have such freedom, right? Why stifle ourselves for no reason?”
Yu Hao really didn’t know how to evaluate Zhou Sheng’s life creed at this moment, so he could only say, “You’re right.”

It would be New Year’s Eve tomorrow. When Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao returned home in the evening, they saw Mama Zhou and another guy sitting on the sofa. Zhou Sheng didn’t even spare them a single glance before he went to take a bath. Mama Zhou went to cut some fruit for Yu Hao and quickly tried to act the genial host to him, “Come come come, Yu Hao, sit here.”
When Zhou Sheng came out after he took his bath, he saw his mother pulling Yu Hao’s hand as she said,
“……that old white-eyed wolf wanted to get the small white-eyed wolf to learn medicine at that time……”
Yu Hao tossed Zhou Sheng a gaze that said ‘save me’.
Mama Zhou, “Aiyo, hasn’t he heard of that saying? Persuade someone to learn medicine and you’ll get struck by lightning, persuade someone to learn magic and you’ll get chopped up by ten thousand knives……”
Zhou Sheng shouted angrily, “Get in the room!”
