âYouâŚâ Su Tang thought for a while but didnât say anything in the end. The leaves on the trees beside them rustled in the wind and sunlight scattered across Su Tang, giving his white face a golden glow. It was beautiful, the kind of beauty that touched the soul.
Chi Shu Yan felt that his soul was being taken away and only a sluggish body was left behind. He subconsciously took out his phone, wanting to take a picture to remember this beauty.
When he heard a âka-chaâ sound, Su Tang finally reacted. His face was red to begin with, so he was embarrassed beyond words when he saw Chi Shu Yan taking a picture of him. In his heart though, he was actually a little happyâhe was just too shy to say it out loud, like he already knew he shouldnât have these feelings for Chi Shu Yan.
He also didnât know why, but he just felt that he should be angry. When he eventually responded, it instead turned into a âhumphâ sound. It wasnât threatening at all, rather like a kitten that was angryâone that was just weaned but still acted arrogantly.
Chi Shu Yanâs heart was a soft mess and his mind couldnât help replaying that scene. He couldnât stop even if he wanted to.
Moreover, he wasnât willing to stop. He immortalised the other partyâs adorable appearance in his mind so that he could recall it hundreds or tens of thousands of times since he liked it so much.
This was truly strange.
But what was the matter?
Chi Shu Yan thought of this and the corners of his lips hooked up. He took a few more pictures of Su Tang, who was shy to the point of bursting. Su Tang wanted to snatch his phone away but Chi Shu Yan was too tall and had lifted the phone to a height he couldnât reach. Su Tang jumped and jumped to reach it, except the other instead placed a hand on his head to gently rub his hair. This left them both startled.\n
The delicate touches, the delicate atmosphere, and the delicate mood. The two gazed at each other and there seemed to be a chemical reaction between them. It was crackling and burning, emitting a dazzling light. They couldnât take their eyes away.
Chi Shu Yan suddenly thought of many things. He licked his lips, wanting to talk to Su Tang.
âIâŚâ He opened his mouth and hadnât yet gotten to speak when he felt the surrounding silence turn a little weird. He looked up and saw the Representative of Year Threes aggressively running in their direction.
This Representative had a fierce, serious face and their character was strict and frightening. Furthermore, she loved to wear long skirts. She had a white complexion and red lips. During night self-studies, if one were to look at the glass windows and unfortunately make eye contact with her, they might scream out in fear and may even fall down from the stools.
If they were called out for a conversation with her, they would have to speak with that pale face under the dim hall lights.
The effect was so good that even horror movies couldnât compare.
When Chi Shu Yan first saw her face, he knew heâd messed up. He usually wasnât afraid of her like the other students were, but that was mainly because he didnât break any school rules. However, this time⌠it was difficult not to.
As this was a closed residential school, along with being one of the best in the city, it was also stricter than other schools. On weekdays, all electronics were banned, and even brick phones produced by Russia werenât allowed. If you were caught with one, it would be confiscated and the head teacher and your parents would be notified. In the past, students would carry their mobile phones with them but used them very carefully.
Chi Shu Yan, in a moment of carelessness, was caught using his phone by the Year Representative. His luck could be said to be very poor. The only good thing was that said Representative was short-sighted and wouldnât wear her glasses for the sake of aesthetics. Consequently, she couldnât even distinguish between menâs and womenâs faces when more than five meters away.
He was considered a good student, and he wasnât a stupid student either. Being caught for this kind of thing was equivalent to death. Only an idiot would honestly stand there and wait for the other party to speak. Chi Shu Yan grabbed Su Tangâs hand and led him to run in the other direction.
The Year Representative saw this and immediately shouted, âThe students with the phone, what class are you two from! Stand still!â
Su Tang was firmly pulled along by Chi Shu Yan and didnât have time to react to whatever had just happened. Heâd gotten a shock when he heard the shouting. He had only just transferred to this school and wasnât familiar with the teachersâ voices yet, but it seemed that the tone of this voice was one of reprimand.\nAs a result, he hurriedly grabbed Chi Shu Yanâs hand and, without daring to look back, ran with him in the other direction.
The school yard was big. Chi Shu Yan and Su Tang ran one lap and left the Year Representative far behind before taking a small path to get to the canteen to eat.
Su Tang was simply frightened to death by this. He struggled to catch his breath and his legs were still weak. Chi Shu Yan saw his appearance and quickly said a few words of apology. He wanted to support the other by the shoulder, but due to their height difference, he could only directly grab the otherâs waist. He found a place to sit down and went to buy food for them.
Su Tang had a guilty conscience and kept his head buried in his arms, not daring to look around. He was both afraid that the person would come to catch him and tired of running. He was out of breath and had a red face. At first glance, it was easy to see that heâd just finished running. If he were caught, it would be terrible.
So he just laid down on the table with his two eyes peeking out to look around. He assessed his surroundings, his thoughts running wild.
When Chi Shu Yan came back, he saw Su Tang behaving like a frightened bunny hiding during the day from predators. He was nervous, and it was unexpectedly adorable. If he were to suddenly walk over and frighten Su Tang, would he shrink into a dumpling out of fear?
Chi Shu Yan smiled yet ultimately didnât do anything of the sort. He was afraid that Su Tang would be terrified, and that would hurt his heart.
âYou waited a while.â Chi Shu Yan placed the dishes on the table. Only then did Su Tang get up. He looked around before heaving a sigh of relief.
âDonât be afraid. At this point, the Representative probably went back to sleep.â Chi Shu Yan explained.
âReally?â Su Tang widened his eyes, asking with semi-suspicion.
âReally.â Chi Shu Yan nodded his head and pointed at the dishes on the table. âCome, eat first, you must be tired.â
Su Tang reddened at Chi Shu Yanâs words. The way the two of them were hiding was like two poor people from the past hiding from devils. He was a pampered young master who grew up lavishlyâwhere would he have ever experienced these kinds of things? Running to the canteen had left him exhausted, unlike Chi Shu Yan, whose face wasnât even red. He was truly envious.
\nâOkay, Iâll find some.â Chi Shu Yan dug through his own bag and found a bottle of water that heâd bought in the afternoon but only drank a few sips from. Though he was hesitant to hand it to Su Tang, seeing the otherâs longing gaze, he twisted open the bottle cap and passed it over.
Su Tang gargled the water, trying his best to get rid of the taste of carrot in his mouth before finally placing the bottle on the table. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, âCarrots are too hard to eat.â
âWhat?â Chi Shu Yan almost thought that heâd heard wrong and only believed it after confirming it three times. Only then did he realise Su Tang had simply behaved like that due to his dislike for carrots. He didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âWhatâs up with that expression.â Su Tang felt a little dissatisfied.
âNo, no, no, I just thought that you were too cute.â Chi Shu Yan replied.
âNot eating carrots means cute?â Su Tang snorted, showing his disbelief.
âI just thought that you not liking carrots is especially cute.â Chi Shu Yan said.
âAh?â Su Tang didnât get it and shook his head, staring at the other.
âItâs nothing. Hurry, eat up.â Chi Shu Yan was shaken by his adorableness and felt the urge to lean over and pinch Su Tangâs face.
In the end, he looked down and moved his chopsticks, saying, âEat ba.â
Su Tang wasnât willing and put down his chopsticks, staring at the other, âNot yet. I wanna hear what you have to say first.â
âYou really want to hear?â Chi Shu Yan looked up. He picked up a piece of meat and had a thought, then passed the meat over to Su Tangâs mouth.
Su Tang naturally opened his mouth to eat the piece of meat. He chewed it twice before suddenly looking up, staring at Chi Shu Yan holding his chopsticks with a face that was red beyond belief.
