“Is it really reasonable to use the face of your sworn enemy as your phone’s wallpaper?”

day four | taking a picture together and using each other’s photo as the phone’s wallpaper

   ❖   

Wang Guangning had always found it difficult to understand the matter of couple’s using each other’s picture as their phone’s wallpaper.

In the past two decades of his life, there have been many girls who had tried to set the wallpaper of his mobile phone with a picture of themselves.

However, they were all refused by him — his background belonged to SpongeBob SquarePants!

Of course, the reason why he didn’t use other pictures as his wallpaper — was simply because he felt other people looked too ugly!

But since Zhang Lingyi’s picture would be the one used for his wallpaper this time, Wang Guangning considered Zhang Lingyi’s enigmatic features and thought that his face suited their objective. Although, he couldn’t help but feel Zhang Lingyi’s face was slightly dull and infuriating.

Wang Guangning and Zhang Lingyi both classes the entire day. Luckily, taking pictures wouldn’t take much time and the two met on the lower level of the experimental laboratory buildings.

“Come, let xiao gong give you a handsome picture unequalled in style.” Zhang Lingyi grabbed Wang Guangning’s phone, eager for action as he slid past the lock. Shockingly, the wallpaper was a yellow and violent SpongeBob SquarePants.

“……” Zhang Lingyi’s eyes revealed a little contempt, “Shou shou, I’ve discovered that your heart is actually quite childish.”

“You’re childish!” Wang Guangning found other people making fun of the fact that he liked SpongeBob SquarePants most annoying, so he took Zhang Lingyi’s phone and said, “Then let me see what your wallpaper is?”

He was so narcissistic, it was eighty percent likely that his phone wallpaper was his own picture.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyi’s wallpaper was a photo of a girl with a sweet appearance.

The girl’s eyes were very big, and it could be seen that they were tilted up and her lashes were very dark. Her smile was very pleasant and carried a touch of bashfulness, and she seemed quite familiar.\n“Ah, I thought you only liked Yu Haining, turns out there’s a reserve ~”, Wang Guangning’s tone was slightly sour and he felt depressed staring at the girl’s picture, “Since you already like other girls, why did you have to deliberately try to grab Yu Haining from me!”

“Hey, Zihui secretly replaced my wallpaper again!” Zhang Lingyi felt that Wang Guangning’s tone was wrong so he looked up, only to see a familiar little beauty in his own phone. He tried to explain hastily, “Oh, Zihui was playing with my phone is class just then, so she certainly changed it.”

“Luo Zihui?” It was only then that Wang Guangning remembered that the girl in the photo was a well-known fresh and pure beauty from the Human Resources Department. They were a neglected branch at F University, so students were basically allocated there with a secondary ambition. Beautiful women were also in complete shortage, and a fresh and pure girl like Luo Zihui who had exquisite taste was rare. It could practically be said that she was the light of the people in the Human Resources Department, and her fame was not small in the school of management either.

However, Wang Guangning had always been proud and arrogant and wasn’t concerned with beautiful women so he didn’t recognise her at first.

“Do you have a good relationship with Luo Zihui? She can even causally change your phone’s wallpaper.” Wang Guangning asked inadvertently.

“Hmm ~ It’s not that ~”, Zhang Lingyi said smugly, “My relationship with beautiful women is always very good, but Zihui is different. She is my classmate, so I come into contact and communicate with her more. Therefore, my relationship with her is also better than others.”

“Hey, ah shou, are you jealous?” Zhang Lingyi’s eyes were suddenly bright as he stared at Wang Guangning. Then he boldly grasped his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, these thirty days I will be with you alone. Beautiful women in my eyes are only clouds!”

Wang Guangning’s shoulder became stiff and his face was black, “Stop bothering me, quickly take a picture and go back to class.” Finishing speaking, he opened the camera on Zhang Lingyi’s phone and shot several handsome and cool photos using a good angle then set it as the background.

“Why did you take such serious photos?” Zhang Lingyi looked at Wang Guangning’s photo, “We’re still young, why are you acting so mature. Look at mine!” As he spoke, he faced the camera of Wang Guangning’s phone and showed a ‘V’ gesture. His face also exposed a wide smile and his white teeth were particularly splendid.

After setting up the wallpaper and enjoying its effect, Zhang Lingyi was satisfied and handed it back to Wang Guangning. Then he asked, “Shou shou, remember to let those little girls who have crushes on you to glance at your phone for a bit so they can envy and hate it.”

Wang Guangning rolled his eyes and said, “Then you also remember to show Luo Zihui your wallpaper.” Thinking for a while, he then took Zhang Lingyi phone, “Set a password first, otherwise people can just casually change your background.”

“Tsk.” Zhang Lingyi touched his chin and said, “Wang Guangning, if I wasn’t involved in this, I would certainly think that you are jealous.”

Wang Guangning pretended he didn’t hear anything and handed back the phone, “Hey, the password is my birthday, 1127.”

“No!” Zhang Linyi’s heart became unbalanced, “Then set your phone’s password as my birthday.” After having spoken, he reached out to steal Wang Guangning’s phone.

“Hmph, I don’t want to.” Wang Guangning protected his cell phone, “Using your birthday as my password will be poisoned¹.”

<b>[1]</b> By poison, he means the phone being hacked or anything to a similar degree.

“Fuck. My phone hasn’t exploded yet, so how your phone have any problems. Quickly give it to me.” Zhang Lingyi hooked Wang Guangning who had been about to run away around the throat, “I don’t even know how many girls in the campus use my birthday as their password. Yours would even be personally set by me, don’t you know much of an honour that is?”

After some intense struggle, Wang Guangning eventually let Zhang Lingyi set his cell phone password.

Seeing that it about time for class, the two people ‘reluctantly’ separated.

❖

Zhang Lingyi returned to class just as the bell rang. The person sitting behind him patted his back and when he turned backwards, his right cheek was caught on his shoulder. A finger which had been looking for the right opportunity then poked him.

“Ah, Zihui, you’re so boring.” Zhang Lingyi frowned. Luo Zihui always liked to play these sort of plots from youth fiction novels. For example, standing on his left side but deliberately reaching behind him to pat his shoulder, then laughing when he turned his head only to discover no one there. Another instance, she would hide a coin in her hand and let him guess whether it was in her left or right fist. If he guessed right, she would take him to eat ice-cream. If he guessed wrong, then he would take her out to eat.

Although Zhang Lingyi didn’t have any dating experience, he did have experience of being sought after by others. The motive behind Luo Zihui’s actions, he wasn’t completely ignorant.

Zhang Lingyi had always been an elegant gentleman. Towards a girl’s expression of goodwill, he would deal with grace if it wasn’t too exaggerated.

Also, Luo Zihui was a girl who was very hard to refuse, not to mention she had a lovely appearance. Her bearing and sense of propriety revealed a degree of comfortable intimacy.

Therefore, in F University, Luo Zihui was the girl he had the best relationship with. He would even sometimes take the initiative to give a response.

Before meeting Yu Haining, he had thought that allowing everything between Luo Zihui and himself to proceed naturally and smoothly was a good thing.

However, today, he believed that as a well-qualified xiao gong, he should maintain some distance with the Luo beauty. Therefore, his hand which would usually reach out and poke Luo Zihui’s dimple stooped halfway then returned. He ruthlessly turned his head back, preparing to concentrate on the lecture.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyi did not joke with her like usual, Luo Zihui’s heart felt strange and worried. Patting his shoulder, she said, “Lingyi, give me your phone for me to play a bit.”

He had just been waiting for her to say something!

Laughing cheaply in his heart, Zhang Lingyi handed the phone to her, pretending to be the same as in the past.

Taking it, Luo Zihui was about to open the phone when she realised that Zhang Lingyi who never had a password had finally set one.

“Oh, how come there’s a password?” Luo Zihui’s heart felt slightly upset but her face remained the same as she laughed freely, “Is there a secret hidden in the phone?”

In F University, she was the one woman who was considered as having the best relationship with Zhang Lingyi. Only she could always play with Zhang Lingyi’s phone and feel free to change his wallpaper, even though it was always changed back by him afterwards. Even of a while ago, Zhang Lingyi suddenly decided to chase Yu Haining, she believed that as long as she patiently waited, then she would be able to wait for him.

“Oh, I just set it up. Otherwise, someone would be unhappy.” Zhang Lingyi seemed to be possessed by the Emperor and he calmly took the phone back, “I’ll open it for you.”

“Ha ha, since you always give it to me to play, just say the password to me directly,” Luo Zihui said casually. Sharing a password was very intimate, Luo Zihui asking this was, in fact, exploring Zhang Linyi’s attitude.

But Zhang Lingyi pretended not to hear and typed in the password then handed it to her, “Hey, don’t play until there’s no battery left.”

Luo Zihui knew Zhang Lingyi was deliberately dodging, but she didn’t pester him. Taking the phone, she suddenly realised that the wallpaper had changed a person.

Zhang Lingyi’s wallpaper for his phone had always been his own photos. Each time after this class, it would be replaced by Luo Zihui’s picture. Although Zhang Lingyi had scolded her several times, he hadn’t shown any serious dissatisfaction so she had always thought her photo was a default in disguise.

She originally thought Zhang Lingyi had just changed it back to his own picture, she didn’t think it would be another familiar face.

What kind of situation was this?

The calm beauty Luo Zihui’s heart felt messy. How come only a class later, Zhang Lingyi’s background had become a picture of his rival Wang Guangning?

Unable to decipher its meaning, she weakly asked Zhang Lingyi, “Linyi…your phone…has it been poisoned?”

“Those two classmates, please listen carefully during class. Don’t think that just because it’s a handsome guy and beautiful girl that the teacher won’t name you ~” The teacher interrupted Zhang Lingyi and Luo Zihui’s conversation, and the topic ended, unable to be continued.

❖

For Wang Guangning, he didn’t have class that period, so he had no chance to show off to any classmates. Casually buying some bread and milk, he grabbed a book and headed to the library. He was prepared to study for the final exam sprint until the evening arrived.

In the afternoon, Wang Guangning who had read books until his head became dizzy received a message from Zhang Lingyi.

<b>Shou shou, let’s eat dinner together?</b>

Towards Zhang Lingyi’s way of addressing him, Wang Guangning could already face calmly. However, towards this type of abrupt happenings, he was still unable to adapt.

Three years of suffering and competing fiercely against each other could not be resolved by just three days of their pretending to be gay alliance.

Therefore, Wang Guangning directly ignored him.

He had just finished his shower and was about sleep that night when he received a call from Zhang Lingyi.

“Shou shou, why didn’t you reply to my text?” Zhang Lingyi complained.

“I didn’t see.” Wang Guangning lied with his eyes open.

“Did you know I didn’t eat until now?” Zhang Lingyi said while giving a burp.

“…” Wang Guangning was speechless, he was hungry to the point of burping? “Directly say what you want to say.”

“Oh, I have a discount for a movie tomorrow. Do you have anything special you want to see at 3 o’clock in the afternoon at the North Hong Kong cinema? I can go and buy the tickets in advance and get us a good seat.” Zhang Linyi’s voice filled with excitement came through the phone, abusing Wang Guangning’s mental state.

“Anything is fine. Two grown men watching a movie, what is there to choose.”

“How can we just do that, shou shou? We are pretending to be gay, we’re dating alright? Couples watching movies must be given particular attention.” Zhang Lingyi was in contempt.

Wang Guangning rolled his eyes, “Since you’re so experience, it’s your choice to decide. I want to sleep.” Having finished talking, he mercilessly hung up the phone call.
