Chapter 94 - Are you going to look?
This chapter is brought to you by Alice’s Ko-Fis! Thank you~
Despite being tall in height and having a long body, the content that Kang Shengzhe shared in his WeChat moments was extremely simplified and reduced. In the new photo, it only had a few words accompanying it: War Trophy.
The caption was baffling; and it was even more bizarre when the photograph was carefully scrutinised. After examining it for a long time, Liang Chulin vaguely identified it as a tooth, a human tooth.
Then, Liang Chulin froze and immediately thought: What the h.e.l.l is with this big head? Frowning, he pondered about it a little longer but he was still unable to decipher the meaning. If his tooth was his war trophy, did he get into a fight?
That better not be the case.
Liang Chulin’s heart lurched. Although he did not have a deep friendship with Kang Shengzhe, he would never truly wish for him to encounter such troubles. Additionally, school had just started; it would not be good if he already stirred up some trouble. Concerned, Liang Chulin went knocking on Kang Shengzhe’s WeChat after he took a screenshot of his WeChat moments and hurriedly asked: — What’s going on?
Considering how Kang Shengzhe just sent the photograph, it was evident that he was still awake. In a second, he replied: — ?
The fact that he could send him a question mark at this kind of timing made Liang Chulin roll his eyes subconsciously: — Tooth! Did you get into a fight with someone?
Kang Shengzhe: — I didn’t get into a fight.
Liang Chulin went blank: — If you didn’t get into a fight, where did the tooth come from?
Kang Shengzhe: — It’s mine, what else?
Liang Chulin: “……” ??? It’s your— your tooth?
You mean to say that you lost your tooth for nothing in your twenties!?
Liang Chulin: — What the h.e.l.l is going on? How did you manage to lose your tooth without getting into a fight? Did you get into a car accident or something?
Kang Shengzhe: — ……
Kang Shengzhe: — I didn’t, go to sleep.
In all seriousness, Liang Chulin shouted at him to stay, because the worry he felt was not falsified at all.
— Wait a minute! Make it clear first!
Probably too lazy to say more, Kang Shengzhe quickly replied: — I merely suffered a beating.
… Being ‘merely beaten’ could make him show off his fallen tooth in his WeChat Moments, pleased as punch?? What kind of magical operation was this??
Good-naturedly, Kang Shengzhe tacked on another simple explanation: — Liang Liang punched me, it’s my blood money.
Liang Chulin: “……”
You might have said blood money, but I don’t understand it at all!
After all was said and done, Kang Shengzhe retreated from the chat in a free and easy manner, leaving Liang Chulin with a head of cloudy water and a belly full of questions, questions which no one would give him the answers to.
What was this and what did it have to do with that? Brother Liang Liang had always treated people with magnanimity; what had Kang Shengzhe done to incite Brother Liang Liang into punching out his tooth? Did he become a despot and try to forcibly…
No no no! Kang Shengzhe should not be such a despicable and shameless person… Liang Chulin, you must believe in human nature!
The more Liang Chulin thought about it, the more afraid he became. As his thoughts constantly refreshed itself, his WeChat suddenly rang with a notification from Kang Shengzhe.
Kang Shengzhe typed: — Oh right, I forgot to tell you something.
Liang Chulin’s heart warmed, subconsciously thinking that Kang Shengzhe was kind enough to answer his doubts, so as to prevent him from going a night without sleep due to his messy thoughts. However, a second later, Kang Shengzhe leisurely said: — I took a leave from military training due to my toothache. If there are matters related to cla.s.s, do them in my stead. Remember to do them properly, considering how I am more outstanding than you.
Liang Chulin: “……”
Big brother, can you please go and die?
Deep into the night, Liang Chulin exploded in anger and he could not fall asleep. He tossed and turned out of frustration, only to sit up from his bed a while later. Thoughts surging with fury, he opened up a doc.u.ment.
As a member of the Liberal Arts College, what should he do when he was angry? Naturally, he should take up the pen and write an article! And scold him to death!
Liang Chulin dwelled on his thoughts deeply. He was extremely worried for You Liangxing in his heart. Thus, he swiftly typed out two lines to use as an alternative topic, fingers brushing across the keyboard like it was flying.
【An insignificant scoundrel was impudent enough to vainly pine after my idol.】
【Dig up this tall dog’s remains for being errant against my campus’ male G.o.d.】
After he typed that, he was not satisfied but the central theme could be considered as determined. Initially, Liang Chulin wanted to point out Kang Shengzhe’s heinous behaviour by the paragraph, but as he continued writing, he lost control of himself, and he even set up the design of his characters soon after.
Kang Shengzhe: stupid, tall and with bad intentions, and he only knows how to bully people every day. He is a 2.05-metre-tall man and relying on his flower-like features and a moon-like visage, he is trying to take advantage of Brother Liang Liang.
Liang Chulin retained him some face by giving his character the code name of Spiritless. On the other hand, Brother Liang Liang had too many good points, and after contemplating for a long time, Liang Chulin decided to name him as Stately.
Thus, the two characters Spiritless and Stately were born. Liang Chulin’s mind was akin to a spring gushing forth; with an even mix of fabrication and realistic writing, he recorded down Kang Shengzhe’s stinky and shameless acts against Brother Liang Liang. His first stroke devolved into an entire night of writing; the article that was originally intended for scolding Kang Shengzhe took on the appearance of a piece and a novel.
After he was done writing, he scanned through his work for errors. Then, Liang Chulin decided to post the article anonymously on a well-known novel forum.
At the last moment before he sent it out, Liang Chulin took a deep breath. And as if he had been possessed, he rejected the t.i.tles he had previously thought of and clinched it as: 【I will guard the chast.i.ty of my idol, if he manages to capture my idol successfully, this young master will broadcast himself eating s.h.i.t!】
Pressing on the send b.u.t.ton forcefully, Liang Chulin felt a wave of glee. Noticing that it was quickly approaching dawn, he put down his phone and went to sleep, feeling particularly appeased.
However, what Liang Chulin did not expect was that the article he had written in a fit of dissatisfaction would unexpectedly become his first step to becoming one of the great literary G.o.ds because of his quaint and attractive character designs…
For an obedient and cute straight boy, his good fortune was frankly, toying with him.

Due to the fact that he could skip military training, Kang Shengzhe’s life was practically blissful. After taking the opportunity to enter You Liangxing’s house, he dragged his feet when it came to leaving; when he opened his mouth, he could eat the porridge that You Liangxing cooked; when his mouth was closed, he could sleep on You Liangxing’s big bed, and when he opened his eyes, he could see You Liangxing’s face. It was so blissful to the point where he was laughing loudly in his dreams and making a Midea sigh of pleasure.
He slept soundly for the entire night. Although You Liangxing refused to face him for some reason in the first half of the night, he had unconsciously turned around after he fell sleep later on.
Kang Shengzhe stared at him for a long time, feeling that it was worth it to get his tooth punched out. If he knew that there would be such a shortcut, he would have knocked it out himself.
The light from the early morning sun scattered all around, lighting up his surroundings with a glow. A new day had arrived, and the house could not be more normal than it usually was. But to a person that was as lazy as Kang Shengzhe, these sort of days were part and parcel of the best and most perfect life that he dreamed of and sought for; of finding himself in a place where there was only happiness and comfort.
Yesterday’s fleeting and tactile impression was still deeply imprinted in Kang Shengzhe’s mind. As long as he wanted to see it, he could loop back to it any time.
Liang Liang’s lips, Liang Liang’s kiss…
Kang Shengzhe blinked, immersed in the endless aftertaste. To borrow a phrase from the internet, he felt like he had already spent an entire lifetime with the other party even though they had only shared one kiss.
He tentatively pinched You Liangxing’s palm, but the man showed no reaction. Kang Shengzhe’s thoughts oscillated back and forth. He wanted to kiss those lips; press closer and occupy the air he breathed like a glutton and he could feel the unbearable itch in his heart. However, he did not dare to do so.
… While Kang “fallen tooth” Shengzhe did not feel distressed, having to fill in his tooth was too troublesome!
He could look but he could not eat and he had no choice but to give up on his ideas. Kang Shengzhe felt upset and his body started to roll around unconsciously. Mid-movement, he abruptly felt that something was wrong and he lowered his head to look, and he could not help but pout.
Why was it so annoying to be a man?
Kang Shengzhe’s morning reaction came in a timely and punctual manner and he could not ignore it. He was about to get off the bed to go to the bathroom to resolve the problem before Liang Liang saw it when a question suddenly appeared in his head.
Before this, he had shared the same bed with You Liangxing a few times. During those instances, how had he avoided it?
Thoughts deepening, Kang Shengzhe found himself at a loss for words. Now that he thought back about it carefully, You Liangxing’s biological clock was outrageously precise, and he would always be the first to rise, and unfortunately, he must have encountered it a few times early on.
It did not make sense to hide it at all.
Furthermore, it might be more interesting to have a head-on confrontation. As he imagined the expression that You Liangxing would have when he accidentally saw him before he would silently look away gave him an inexplicable and heavy thrill which made his ♂ vigorous.
But then again, Liang Liang was also a man, it was very likely that he would…
Kang Shengzhe stilled as an important question came to mind. You Liangxing looked like a serious person who was pure of heart and with little desires, which made Kang Shengzhe awfully doubtful that such a person could have a morning reaction.
His gaze shifted to the key part of You Liangxing that could not be seen because he was lying on his side. Swallowing his saliva, Kang Shengzhe hesitated thrice before he walked on his tiptoes and pulled off the quilt, his pair of large hands extending towards You Liangxing’s thighs.
* * *
You Liangxing found this scene rather familiar; however, unlike the last time where he was muddled with sleep, he was only pretending to be asleep this time around.
He had actually woken up a long time ago; with his biological clock waking him up, how could he stay asleep? However, just as he woke up, Kang Shengzhe just had to wake up too, and the scare he received caused him to shut his eyes again out of conditioned reflex.
The kiss he initiated last night was still lingering in his head and You Liangxing did not know what kind of expression he should face Kang Shengzhe with. In his moment of hesitation, the quilt on his body was pulled away, and You Liangxing felt Kang Shengzhe grabbing his thighs before he…
Pulled them apart.
You Liangxing: “……” !!!
In an instant, You Liangxing closed his legs together fiercely before he sat up, no longer pretending to be asleep. With one hand covering his important part, he yelled out unwittingly: “Kang Shengzhe!!”
Kang Shengzhe’s actions were quite uncouth but he was extremely candid in facial expression. You Liangxing was shocked: “What are you doing!”
Much of the tone was questioning and Kang Shengzhe was not scared in the least. He took out his phone and typed: — Liang Liang, don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to…
“What did you want to do?”
Kang Shengzhe said: — I just wanted to see your pp.
You Liangxing: “……”
You Liangxing swore to the skies that he had never met a person who could declare such brazen words while remaining immensely proud. While he was angered to a standstill, Kang Shengzhe still had the cheek to keep blinking at him.
— Just one glance, I definitely won’t tell anyone.
While he was talking, You Liangxing brandished his fist but rather than retreating, Kang Shengzhe stepped forward, presenting the side where he had previously lost a tooth. He typed: — Come, hit here.
You Liangxing froze for two full seconds before his long leg kicked Kang Shengzhe off the bed.
Thus, Kang Shengzhe staggered away from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Meanwhile, the loud noises coming from the kitchen declared that the all-rounded handsome man was in a foul mood as he prepared breakfast. Kang Shengzhe listened to the sounds for more than ten minutes with interest before he knocked on the door of the bathroom.
No matter how annoyed You Liangxing, he would always come whenever he was called.
Sure enough, the sound of footsteps grew closer, and not long after, You Liangxing’s cold voice travelled in from outside the door. “What’s wrong?”
His tone did not sound good, but a fair amount of frustrations had long seeped away. Separated by a door, Kang Shengzhe spoke: “Oh, I forgot to bring my clothes.”
You Liangxing sneered: “Farce.”
Kang Shengzhe had been looking for a reason to call You Liangxing over from the start. He looked over his shoulder and noticed the neat clothes that were placed on the rack. Despite being exposed right then and there, Kang Shengzhe did not blush at all; instead, he picked up the clothes and opened a slit in the door before he tossed it out. Then, he typed something on his phone before he handed it over:
— Now there’s none.
Irritated, You Liangxing’s brows twitched. He turned around, wanting to leave, but Kang Shengzhe hurriedly shouted: “Ah! Don’t do that! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong.”
He was angry, yes, but You Liangxing could not allow Kang Shengzhe to speak too much because it would affect the injury. Helplessly, he could only turn back to see Kang Shengzhe amicably holding up his phone again.
— Help me send the clothes in.
You Liangxing stared at the clothes that Kang Shengzhe had thrown out with his own hands. Hands, which by the by, had the adequate reach to pick up the same clothes. “Take it by yourself.”
Kang Shengzhe: — I can’t reach it.
You Liangxing: “Do you think I’m blind?”
Kang Shengzhe blinked at him before he disappeared from behind the door. Subsequently, a splashing noise of something impacting the water came from the bathtub.
He was actually insane.
You Liangxing supported his forehead before he picked up the clothes and entered the bathroom. Kang Sheng was sitting solemnly in the bathtub which had foam obscuring the water surface, thus revealing only the upper half of his body and his firm muscles. Compared to the last time where he had seen it, the lines looked more well-defined.
You Liangxing could not help losing himself for only a moment. The tempering of his heart, however, immediately found its use as he quickly responded. “I’ll put your clothes here. If you mess around again, I will let you die, do you understand?”
Kang Shengzhe held up his phone: — Don’t be so fierce, I’m scared.
If you were afraid, there would have been no need for me to come in. You Liangxing glared at him before he turned around to leave. However, as he had antic.i.p.ated, his wrist was caught by Kang Shengzhe.
Knowing that he could not escape from this, You Liangxing sneered, “What the h.e.l.l are trying to do?”
Kang Shengzhe no longer beat around the bush: — Coaxing you.
“Is this how you intend to coax me?”
Kang Shengzhe: — Of course not.
As he gave You Liangxing a glance, Kang Shengzhe’s visage suddenly had a tinge of coyness. He lowered his head and took a long time to type before he allowed You Liangxing to see the contents.
— Aren’t you angry about the fact that I saw your pp just now? To give you compensation, I’m going to show you mine.
You Liangxing: “……”
The impact of his words were too great. At that moment, You Liangxing could not parcel out what it entailed. Noticing that Kang Shengzhe was mustering his courage to stand up from the bathtub, he hurriedly pressed Kang Shengzhe back down, fl.u.s.tered.
“Kang Shengzhe!”
Kang Shengzhe’s expression was sincere: — Don’t you want to see it?
You Liangxing was both irked and anxious, “Bulls.h.i.t!”
Kang Shengzhe was full of disbelief: — No, you obviously want to see it.
You Liangxing: “I don’t want to see it!”
Kang Shengzhe pursed his lips upon seeing You Liangxing’s resolute determination. Very quickly, he changed his tone of speaking into that of one who guides patiently and systematically.
— Liang Liang, aren’t you curious?
You Liangxing frowned, “Curious about what?”
Kang Shengzhe: — I’m more than two metres tall. Aren’t you curious how big I am, considering my height?
You Liangxing hated the fact that he could not go deaf at will. “I’m not curious, let go!”
Kang Shengzhe shook his head in an odd manner: — Liang Liang, your words don’t match your heart.
How was his mouth and heart mismatched? You Liangxing swore if he stayed for a moment longer, he was afraid he was going to throttle Kang Shengzhe to death!
Violently, You Liangxing tried to wrench his wrist out of Kang Shengzhe’s grip, but he never expected that this stupid tall man would exert so much strength. As You Liangxing moved back in an attempt to pull them apart, Kang Shengzhe decided that he might as well get out of the bathtub too.
It was obvious from the start that You Liangxing had no intention to look, but he did not know what happened in that moment. Perhaps due to the workings of ghosts and G.o.ds, his gaze shifted and it actually glanced at the key part of Kang Shengzhe.
