Chapter 126 - Extreme joy easily begets sorrow.
Just to be safe: there are mentions of NSFW.
Abruptly opening his eyes to a bright day, You Liangxing stared at the white ceiling, harbouring complaints that went along the lines of ‘who was he and where was he’. When he moved slightly, a sinking and heavy hand pressed down on his body and swiftly dragged him back into an embrace.
As You Liangxing stared at that smooth arm and felt the warm skin plastered tightly at his back, his awareness returned.
Sure enough, it was real, he and Kang Shengzhe… were really together now.
The person behind him emitted a soft groan and You Liangxing turned over. Half-lidded, Kang Shengzhe gazed back at him with eyes that were still fogged with sleep. Since this was the first time they were looking at each other after such circ.u.mstances, the atmosphere seemed quite different from before and You Liangxing found himself in an inexplicable predicament where he did not know what he should say.
Kang Shengzhe, however, did not give him the chance to be awkward. His brain had just awoken and he immediately shoved his huge head into the crook of You Liangxing’s neck and faked sobbed: “Someone is very tired.”
You Liangxing: “……”
You Liangxing did not say anything for a long time and Kang Shengzhe secretly raised his eyes to look at him again, “Liang Liang, shouldn’t you be reflecting on yourself for being too hard to get away from?”
You Liangxing: “……”
… He was hard to get away from?
Against such a degree of unblinking bulls.h.i.t, You Liangxing could not be bothered to dispute it. He looked at the time. It was already ten in the morning. He did not know if it was because he had exhausted a lot of energy after being tossed around until three or four o’ clock last night, but it surprised him that he had only woken up at this time.
“Do you have cla.s.ses?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Yes… No.”
You Liangxing: “Is that a yes or a no?”
Kang Shengzhe blinked his eyes: “I might have them, yes.”
No matter what condition the school was in right now, cla.s.ses still had to be attended. In the blanket, You Liangxing’s foot flew up and dug into Kang Shengzhe’s waist. Just as he was about exert force, Kang Shengzhe suddenly held onto his foot and tried to negotiate: “I won’t make it in time even if I go now. One moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; I trust that Liang Chulin will definitely understand me and sign in my stead~”
The sole of You Liangxing’s foot was very sensitive. Once Kang Shengzhe touched it, he could care less about the crooked reasons that Kang Shengzhe was fabricating and he only wanted to retract his foot back. However, Kang Shengzhe refused to let go and he even took it a step further by going forward to lean against him.
Thus, the initial odd positions they were in became bullying and ambiguous in an instant. You Liangxing’s neck shrank back, wanting to evade, but he could still feel Kang Shengzhe’s breath spraying on his face and a certain part of his fitting closely to him again, primed for action after having acc.u.mulated energy.
Kang Shengzhe’s soul luring eyes were half-lidded and he bit on his lips with an abundance of flirtatious feelings. He said: “Liang Liang, you were incredibly wonderful last night oh~”
You Liangxing: “……”
A fist shot out from You Liangxing and half of Kang Shengzhe’s reddish cheeks went back to normal.
Although his normal expression was restored, the arm that Kang Shengzhe was holding him with was not lifted. Without using his words, he had already provided sufficient evidence that he was honestly intending to do it again with his actions.
Even though the embarra.s.sment he felt exceeded the limits, that served to make You Liangxing’s spirit calm down instead. He said: “Forget it.”
Kang Shengzhe pouted, “You’re tired?”
You Liangxing sneered: “I’m afraid you’re tired.”
It was obviously a joke made to counter his words but Kang Shengzhe, this silly man, was completely incapable of grasping the important point. His brows knitted together and he immediately asked: “You’re not tired?”
You Liangxing answered honestly: “I’m alright.”
Kang Shengzhe was very shocked, “You don’t feel like you’ve been ran over by a car?”
You Liangxing: “……” How is that even possible.
Kang Shengzhe became inordinately agitated. “Then at the very least, do you ache all over?”
You Liangxing: “…Not really.”
Kang Shengzhe wore an expression that spoke of his disbelief and the hurts his statement had dealt to his self-esteem. “How could that be, I worked very hard!”
Originally, You Liangxing wanted to say ‘did you work that hard for the sole purpose of making me feel like I’ve been run over by a car’, but before he could get the words out, he saw Kang Shengzhe’s wronged and unhappy expression and he could only admit defeat in his heart.
“… Fine, do whatever you want.”
Kang Shengzhe still looked frustrated.
Truth to be told, it was not that You Liangxing did not feel anything. After comparing notes with a two-metre-tall man for a good while last night, how could he possibly be fine? It was just that the excellent physique he had been cultivating ever since he was young had given him a huge benefit, and even if you were tell him to get out of bed and beat Kang Shengzhe until he was one foot into death’s door, You Liangxing felt that he would not have a problem accomplishing it.
Rather than blaming him, You Liangxing felt that Kang Shengzhe had bigger problems on his end. “You should train your body more.”
Kang Shengzhe’s face scrunched into a grimace. “Train my body, are you expressing your dissatisfaction for the experience you had last night?”
You Liangxing: “… Speak properly.”
Speak properly? No problem. Kang Shengzhe was not an overbearing president to begin with; in fact, he was a crying and rather large man. Once his temper rose, it signified the beginning of a chewed-up face that was going to blot out his skies and earth.
“I refuse to train, if there’s no effect after doing it once, we’ll just do it again. The real KK never admits defeat.”
You Liangxing: “Kang Sheng…”
The last of his words were swallowed. At ten in the morning, You Liangxing was dragged into the muddled world he had experienced last night. It hadn’t been easy for the round to end when Kang Shengzhe asked him: “Liang Liang, have your legs gone soft?”
You Liangxing hesitated for a beat, “… It’s soft.”
Kang Shengzhe: “……”
“Liang Liang, you’ve probably never managed to deceive anyone ever since you were young,” Kang Shengzhe remarked.
You Liangxing: “……”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Ying ying ying, again!”
The time seemed to pa.s.s slowly and arduously. While they were fighting until their hearts were content, You Liangxing kept feeling that something was sounding outside the door. Words inters.p.a.ced, he called out to Kang Shengzhe: “Did you hear that?”
Kang Shengzhe was very focused as he replied: “Since when, this is your house.”
What he said made sense; how could there be movements in his own house. You Liangxing settled his heart and his person relaxed too. It was nearing the afternoon when Kang Shengzhe’s energy could be considered as exhausted. Lying on the bed, he cried piteously. “I’m hungry.”
You Liangxing was hungry too. Sighing helplessly, he could only grab the clothes on the bed and slide down, saying: “I’ll go make something.”
It was good that he would get food to eat, but seeing You Liangxing walking steadily like he was completely fine after so many rounds, to the extent where he could still go to the kitchen to labour away made Kang Shengzhe feel like his dignity had suffered a tremendous challenge. With sudden big strides, he threw himself off the bed as he said: “I’ll go too.”
Thus, the pair got stuck together at the doorway and their gaze met. Under such smooth and steady developments, they laughed.
Hooked onto each other, they walked around the bend when You Liangxing came to an abrupt halt. Kang Shengzhe came to a standstill and when his gaze looked over, he went stiff as well.
Quite a few empty alcohol bottles were scattered on the floor after being discarded in every direction. The aforementioned fruit beer was not high in alcohol content and they were originally placed in You Liangxing’s refrigerator. But right now, it had all been drunk by someone before they were tossed to the ground.
There was someone in the living room.
It was unknown when they had entered, but it was highly likely that they had yet to leave.
Kang Shengzhe’s brows scrunched in an instant and he used his upper arm to shield You Liangxing behind him. Meanwhile, it was uncertain as to what You Liangxing was thinking but his complexion was extremely ugly. He moved Kang Shengzhe’s hand away and took two quick steps forward with heavy feet.
Sure enough, someone was sitting on the sofa. Her figure was slender, tall and pert with a head of cascading hair and her lips were peach red. Although she was gorgeous in appearance, she had a dead atmosphere surrounding her and she was still holding onto a half-empty bottle of beer.
Immediately, Kang Shengzhe was taken aback by surprise. Because this individual was the beautiful lady he had seen hung up on countless walls, and it was someone he had played games before. Not only that, this lady was extremely famous.
— Bai Yao.
What was she doing here, this was You Liangxing’s house.
In that second, the atmosphere became exceedingly quiet. In what felt like a century, You Liangxing slowly opened his mouth to say: “You… when did you…”
Bai Yao stared at him, saying: “Are your legs soft?”
You Liangxing: “……”
Once he heard that sentence, he knew that he could not explain it even if he tried. He feared that the numerous rounds of tossing and turning he had shared with Kang Shengzhe had all been heard by Bai Yao without missing a single detail.
Even though he did not know if he should be grateful that Bai Yao did not go into the room to rip off their blankets on the spot, having his biological sister accidentally overhear the first time he rolled in the sheets with his boyfriend made You Liangxing feel embarra.s.sed.
In the midst of their simple conversation, Kang Shengzhe was still stupefied as he asked strangely, “How are you here?”
Bai Yao glared at him and the meaning held in those eyes were equally deep. Different from the powerless and dispirited face she showed just now, it brimmed with resentful and violent emotions that went along the lines of ‘you b.a.s.t.a.r.d you stupid a.s.shole you grandson thief etcetera etcetera etcetera’.
Bai Yao: “Do you think I want to!”
Bai Yao’s initial geographical location was not far from A University, but when she thought about how You Liangxing needed to rest after he had just returned to City A, she had decided to restrain herself. She did not expect that while she was putting in strenuous efforts to suppress her existing brother complex tendencies, she would suddenly see You Liangxing on the hot search when she was browsing Weibo.
Hot search! Weibo! You Liangxing!
It was early in the morning, which meant to say that it had started last night. One of the tags called #Second Handsome Man Carried and Ran with First Handsome Man# had rushed up to the hot search.
While the tag had started at the twentieth position when it first appeared, it rushed to the top five very quickly. Even Bai Yao’s movie Murderer could barely compete with the degree of heat the aforementioned tag attracted, and the reason for the heat was none other than the fact that the two men featured in the video that the netizens were pa.s.sing around was way too high.
Entering the tag, the video of one man suddenly going up the stage to give another man a flower before he had carried the person out during the Double 11 Evening Party had been shared several hundred million times. With the extraordinarily high face values that the two people boasted and the flower giving scene practically bursting with pink bubbles, it was difficult for the netizens to stop themselves from having a heated discussion that eventually broke through the skies.
【Oh my G.o.d AHHHHHHHHH!! A scene of confession between handsome men????】
【This face value is seriously way too high!】
【d.a.m.n it…. Someone else’s university!】
【Which school is this ah!! It’s too awesome, no?!! Why doesn’t my university have such handsome male students!!】
【QAQ! QAQ! I want to lick their faces and I want to rub my hands in excitement too. Indeed, good-looking men only fall in love with good-looking men!!】
【Holy!! Is that short-haired man for real?? He’s too f.u.c.king handsome!!】
Bai Yao initially treated it as an ordinary video to watch but she immediately became silly the moment she took a glance at it. How could that short-haired man not be handsome, because that person was none other than….
Her younger brother ah!!
You Liangxing!
There was an introduction done by the university student who had posted the video on Weibo.
【Which school this is from need not be said, that short-haired and shirt-clad man is a third year school senior from our school, and because he looks too handsome, he’s publicly known to be a legend in our entire school campus. The Double 11 Evening Party wanted him to attend as a guest and during the pairing segment, nearly thirty male and female students sent him flowers.】
【And then that long-haired beauty of a man came up – additionally, I should explain that the long-haired man is the second most handsome man in our school – and he was also attending as a guest. For the most part, there were rumours that he had a special relationship with our school senior but no one expected that he would actually go up on stage. The video shows what happened next, once he was done giving his flower, he directly carried the first person over his shoulder and ran!】
T/N: Uh, press F to pay respect to Bai Yao’s ears. The front part of the chapter about KK’s stamina was actually written to replace the NSFW scene, and I honestly loved the additional scene too
