SB- chapter 21

Because Wang Yibo’s words were too shocking to Xiao Zhan’s ears, he didn’t even have time to stop Wang Yibo from kissing his face.

What was Wang Yibo saying?

I liked him? I took the opportunity while Wang Yibo lost his memory to get closer to him? When did this happen?

Xiao Zhan subconsciously shook his head and said, “No, no. I didn’t…”

Wang Yibo continued to smile as if he had seen through everything. “If you don’t like me, why were you the first one to visit me?”

Because I…am scared of you dying…

Xiao Zhan was confused and puzzled, feeling numbness in his fingers and held a dumbfounded expression.

Wang Yibo continued to ask in a gentle tone, “If you don’t like me, why did you pretend to be my good friend, but ended up hinting at our relationship?”

No, I’ve never hinted him once before.

“You think that you’ve hidden yourself, but you left too many clues. You said you want to be my good friend, but you said we ‘confirmed our relationship’ and that no one else knows about this. You said that I kept you as a secret from everyone else…From the start, you’ve been lying to me.”

Wang Yibo smiled a pampering smile and said, “Later on, I noticed that whenever I tried to get closer to you, you would avoid me. What you say and what you do is completely different. Although you want to get closer to me, you reject me also, well…You’ve been in a dilemma and I’ve been thinking about it. What is my Huihui thinking about?”

Xiao Zhan held in his breath.

“After a while, I finally figured it out…You want to be with me, but you’re also that I might beat you up once I recovered my memory and realized that you were lying to get closer to me, right?”

“…” Xiao Zhan couldn’t say anything.

The conclusion sounded about right, but what exactly went wrong with the process? Why did Wang Yibo think he was scared that he found out he liked him?

He swallowed his saliva and took his time to mumble, “No, no…”

Wang Yibo squinted his eyes and said, “You’re saying that it’s all just one-sided love?”

Xiao Zhan wanted to nod his head, but his head seemed to be rigid. He looked at Wang Yibo terrifyingly while the latter rubbed Xiao Zhan’s delicate and soft face.

“I’ve already said all of this. Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”

If Xiao Zhan was brave enough, he would’ve mocked and laughed at Wang Yibo, telling him that he was just lying to him about being good friends, since he couldn’t come up with any other explanations.

After that, the other lies were built upon the original lie and he was forced to keep up the act.

You did think too much into my words. Not only don’t I like you, but I was the one who had hit your head!

But he wasn’t brave enough.

Wang Yibo had already noticed his swindle and even gave all the unreasonable parts to the story an explanation. Now, Xiao Zhan had two options.

The first one was to say the truth and try his best to not make it sound like he was mocking him. But, speech was a type of art…It depended on the contents of Xiao Zhan’s words.

As long as he was able to explain himself, no matter how tactful he tried to be, Wang Yibo would definitely smash his head in.

Don’t mention how Wang Yibo was injured because of him, but telling Wang Yibo that he was just thinking too much into this, would make him infuriated.

Second, he’d just follow along Wang Yibo for now and delay the beating he would receive.

He’d pretend Wang Yibo was correct and Xiao Zhan could act as if he really did like Wang Yibo.

Then, before the college entrance exam, he could find a reason to break up and steadily find and go to a college. The two would separate and do whatever they want.

That way, as long as Wang Yibo didn’t recover his memory, he would never know about this.

But there was a flaw right now. Wang Yibo had lost his memory, so everything was based upon his guess. Even more, he might make this conclusion due to his first impression.

Therefore, once Wang Yibo recovered his memory, he would know that not only wasn’t Xiao Zhan wasn’t his good friend, he had even dated someone who didn’t feel the same for him.

When that day comes, Xiao Zhan might not just have his head smashed in.

Wang Yibo breathed on Xiao Zhan’s face and this made the latter feel goosebumps appearing on his body.

He subconsciously trembled and listened to Wang Yibo say, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Am I wrong?”

“…Yes.” Xiao Zhan looked up and his eyes glanced around like a little animal, saying softly, “You, you are right.”

Wang Yibo laughed delightfully and he held Xiao Zhan in his arms.

He could feel Wang Yibo’s chest vibrating, listening to Wang Yibo say in a pleasant tone, “Now that we’ve explained everything, what do you want to say to me?”

“…” Besides wanting to cry, Xiao Zhan was speechless.

He felt as if he was in a dead-end, the type where he narrowly escaped death. The doctor said that Wang Yibo had lost his memory due to external injuries. He is very young, so the cells could regenerate rapidly.

Xiao Zhan could only pray that Wang Yibo would not remember anything before they had gone to college.

After all, with Wang Yibo’s current grades, he would definitely not be able to get into the same college as him.

Even if Wang Yibo had high grades, wouldn’t there be numerous prestigious universities for him to choose from?

If Wang Yibo chose TA University, he would choose PG University. If Wang Yibo chose FN University, he would choose JG University….

Plus, Wang Yibo’s family was wealthy and he might end up going to university abroad! That’d be even better!

Though Xiao Zhan’s dream was beautiful, when he thought about being forced to fake date Wang Yibo, he felt incredibly upset.

Wang Yibo hadn’t heard Xiao Zhan’s answer for a while and pushed him away from his arms to see Xiao Zhan pursing his lips and about to cry.

Wang Yibo paused and knitted his eyebrows, asking, “Why are you crying?”

“Happy, happy to the point I want to cry, ok?” Xiao Zhan said this and held in the urge to choke with sobs.

Heaven’s watching them. Why’d he have to do this?… Xiao Zhan had endured the countless times Wang Yibo had bullied him. So, why couldn’t he control himself from saving him? Wang Yibo had lost his face. Normally, he was able to skate normally as if he was on level ground, so why did he act below average that day? That shouldn’t be!!

Wang Yibo reached over and cupped Xiao Zhan’s face, feeling a tingle when he saw Xiao Zhan’s teary and glistening eyes.

He reached over and kissed Xiao Zhan’s tears, saying, “Ok, don’t cry. This boyfriend will give you a kiss.”

Xiao Zhan immediately felt goosebumps rising on his body again. He pushed Wang Yibo and said, “Stop talking.”

Wang Yibo chuckled lowly and said, “Why don’t you shut my mouth then?”

It was clear what Wang Yibo meant by that.

Xiao Zhan looked at Wang Yibo’s beautiful pair of lips and pursed his lips in dislike. He walked around him and out, saying, “I’m not going to talk to you.”

He’d already said this, so why was he still so shy?

Wang Yibo shoved his hands in his pockets and easily caught up to him, placing his arm around Xiao Zhan’s waist.

He said, “What do you want to eat tonight? After dinner, I’ll take you home.”

“I don’t want to eat anything.” Xiao Zhan pushed Wang Yibo’s arm off his waist and said in a muffled voice, “Stop touching my waist.”

Wang Yibo withdrew his hand and said, “What do you want to do then?”

“Go home and do my homework.”

Wang Yibo invited him, saying, “How about you do your homework in my house?”

“No.”

Wang Yibo’s heart itched and softly said, “Why are you acting cute again?”

“Who, who’s acting cute?” Xiao Zhan glared and his voice has always been soft. When he finished crying, his voice became softer and it was extremely pleasant and cute to hear.

Wang Yibo felt as if Xiao Zhan was a candy personally customized for him and he couldn’t help but lick him.

But they weren’t out of the school door yet, so Wang Yibo had to control himself.

He said, “How about we do homework in the library then?”

“Noisy.”

“Then, we can find a high-quality restaurant and do our homework while eating?”

“I wouldn’t be able to stay awake after I’m done eating.”

Wang Yibo raised his brows. Why’d Xiao Zhan give him an attitude already when they just started dating?

He placed an arm on Xiao Zhan’s waist and pulled him over, saying, “Let’s go watch a movie tonight, otherwise, I’ll kiss you right now.”

Xiao Zhan became quiet for a moment before saying, “But I’m not done with my homework yet.”

“Why do you always have so much homework?”

“You think it’s that easy to get first place?” Xiao Zhan said unhappily, “Besides the teachers, I even gave myself some homework to do.”

“Fine.” Wang Yibo didn’t want his treasure to neglect his duties like him either, saying, “Then, I’ll give you some homework too.”

Xiao Zhan’s beautiful eyes sparkled and he pursed his lips; he revealed a rare faint mocking smile, saying, “What homework are you giving me?”

“Kiss me.”

“…” Xiao Zhan’s mocking smile faded and he said, “Students should act like students. I need to do my homework first.”

“Couples should act like couples too. Why don’t you understand the basics?”

“What basics?” Xiao Zhan refused to listen to his nonsense, saying, “Stop blurting nonsense.”

“Your boyfriend is pampering you, so why don’t you consider pampering your boyfriend?”

Xiao Zhan mumbled.

While speaking, the two had arrived at the bus platform. It seemed like Wang Yibo was going to escort him home again.

When they were originally good friends, Xiao Zhan was already afraid of being noticed by his parents. With this extra layer of relationship, he was even more afraid.

He tugged Wang Yibo and said, “You don’t need to bring me home.”

“At least one of us needs to do the homework. Since you don’t want to, I’ll have to do it.”

Xiao Zhan’s face flushed and said, “But didn’t you…do that already?”

“I don’t understand. What do you mean?”

Xiao Zhan looked left and right. It was rush hour right now and students wearing school uniforms were all around, chatting noisily.

He didn’t dare to talk in a loud voice, so he tugged on Wang Yibo’s clothes. The latter didn’t cooperate with him and stood up straight.

Xiao Zhan had no choice but to come closer and whisper in his ears, “Before, at the stairs, didn’t you…me?”

After he finished, he looked left and right guilty, scared that someone had heard him.

Wang Yibo held in the urge and softly said in Xiao Zhan’s ears, “You also know I had…you. I’ve turned in my homework, so where’s yours?”

Xiao Zhan knitted his eyebrows while Wang Yibo stood tall.

Xiao Zhan had no choice but to get close again and his soft breath sprinkled on Wang Yibo’s ears. “Then after turning in my homework, can you not bring me back home?”

From other people’s perspectives, it looked like two people talking secretly to one another.

Wang Yibo’s lips almost touched Xiao Zhan’s ears and he said, “I can consider it.”

Xiao Zhan fiddled with his fingers in a dilemma and finally reached over to tug on Wang Yibo’s sleeves; the latter raised his brows and purposefully said, “Where are you going?”

“Go…” Xiao Zhan said while observing, “…to a place no one is at.”

At this time, Wang Yibo’s heart tingled, watching Xiao Zhan looked around sneakily. He held in his urge to laugh and allowed Xiao Zhan to tug him over, moving away from the crowd.

They returned to the slope again and during this time, people would occasionally pass by it, but there were rarely any people.

Then, they turned a corner of the slope. Even if someone had walked by, it was really difficult for people to find them.

While Xiao Zhan remained guilty, Wang Yibo leaned against the wall calmly and said, “You want to turn in your homework here?”

Xiao Zhan nodded, treating this seriously.

Wang Yibo looked around. By the other side of the slope was a forest and there were weeds and bushes here. It seemed like a good spot to “turn in his homework.”

He bent over and said, “Can we start now?”

Xiao Zhan took a step back.

Although Wang Yibo was very handsome, he was still a man. When Xiao Zhan thought about kissing him, he had to get himself in that mindset.

Wang Yibo moved back and said, “Fine, we can do it slowly.”

He didn’t mind giving his boyfriend a bit of time to act shy.

Xiao Zhan finally prepared himself and he looked over, slowly moving over.

Wang Yibo cooperated and slightly bent down, seeing Xiao Zhan’s eyelashes flickering. One could tell that he was considerably anxious.

Although Wang Yibo found this funny, he was also a bit nervous.

When their lips were about to touch, they heard a voice from above the slope, making Xiao Zhan take a step back.

Wang Yibo was speechless.

His heart tightened and then relaxed, as Wang Yibo licked his lips.

The person above the slope was on an electric bicycle and they quickly came down. The students talked while slipping off quickly.

The two on the bottom of the slope met each other’s eyes and their faces flushed.

Xiao Zhan prepared himself again and rapidly kissed him, saying, “Ok, let’s go back.”

Xiao Zhan turned around and ran off, making Wang Yibo unhappy. “I’ve turned in so much homework and you’re only planning on doing a little bit?”

“You said to just kiss you once. You didn’t say how I should kiss you.” Xiao Zhan had already run up and he turned around, saying, “Don’t you dare escort me. I’m going home now.”

Xiao Zhan ran to the bus platform and coincidentally, a bus came over. He didn’t wait for Wang Yibo to come over when he eagerly squeezed inside.

The bus was packed with people and Xiao Zhan was stuck in between.

He recalled how Wang Yibo had blocked him from other people every time they were together on the bus and Xiao Zhan pursed his lips at the thought.

His heart pounded quickly when he recalled kissing Wang Yibo’s lips.

Because of this layer of relationship, Xiao Zhan was nervous whenever he heard Wang Yibo’s name.

On the dining table, as usual, his dad asked, “Did Wang Yibo get into a fight today? What did you do with him? Did you guys violate school rules?”

As usual, Xiao Zhan casually answered and silently shook his head. He shoved food in his mouth while his mom placed food in his bowl.

Xiao Cheng had suddenly looked over.

***

The next morning, when Xiao Zhan had finished packing his things and prepared to leave, Xiao Cheng suddenly called him. “Brother, wait for me.”

He quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, pushing the electric bicycle out.

He said to Xiao Zhan, “I’m going to take you to school.”

Xiao Cheng had to pass Xiao Zhan’s school to get to his school. He wasn’t afraid of people damaging his bicycle, so he never squeezed on the bus with Xiao Zhan.

Every day, he would dawdle in bed for a while before rushing to school, making it on the dot.

Xiao Zhan had to ride on Xiao Cheng’s bicycle.

After Xiao Cheng brought Xiao Zhan to school, he turned around to ask, “Do you have an evening study session tonight?”

“I’m not sure, why?”

“Whether you’re going to attend it or not, send me a message. I’m leaving now.”

Xiao Zhan thought that was random, but stayed until Xiao Cheng left. He took out his phone to check the time out of habit when he suddenly noticed two WeChat messages Annoying Wang left him.

Annoying Wang: How come you aren’t here yet?

Annoying Wang: ?

Maybe Wang Yibo was impatient with waiting for Xiao Zhan’s response before the latter could click on reply, Wang Yibo called. “You woke up late today?”

“No.” Xiao Zhan then realized something and said, “You went to my house to pick me up again?”

“What’d you think?” Wang Yibo carried the breakfast and stood in front of the platform, in a bad mood from the cold breeze. “Where are you?”

“My brother woke up early today, so he brought me over. Didn’t I say for you to not pick me up?” He said the last part extremely softly.

Originally, he needed to walk in the opposite direction coming out of the house in order to take the bus. But today, he ended up coming to school on a bicycle, so they didn’t need to go by the bus station.

They left Wang Yibo waiting there and this made Xiao Zhan feel guilty.

When he heard no voice on the other side, he knew that Wang Yibo was angry.

“Come over. I’ll buy you breakfast.”

“Come and pick me up.”

“…” Xiao Zhan glanced at the time on his phone and was shocked by his tantrum. “If I go over there now, I’ll definitely be late.”

“I don’t care.” Wang Yibo said. “Come and pick me up, otherwise, I’ll make sure to ‘hand in my homework’ when we’re in class.”

“…” Xiao Zhan felt his head exploding. He definitely won’t make it back on time if he took the bus right now.

He looked around to see Peng Chuyue holding his breakfast and coming over.

Xiao Zhan rushed over and said, “Let me borrow your bicycle.”

Peng Chuyue was carsick, so he usually rode his bicycle to school.

Xiao Zhan grabbed the key from Peng Chuyue’s hands and the latter brought him to his bicycle, saying, “Where are you rushing off to?”

“I forgot something.”

“Is it very important?”

Xiao Zhan welcomed the wind as he placed the helmet on him, pulling on the two straps by the side. He had teary eyes and said, “It’s very important.”

Peng Chuyue hurriedly replied, “Then be careful on the way. Do you need me to buy you breakfast?”

“Not right now.” Xiao Zhan pedaled and hastily dashed back.

Wang Yibo kicked the pull-top can by his feet and had a gloomy expression.

He would wake up early every day so that he could pick up his friend, but ended up missing him today.

No matter who it happened to, they would be unhappy, especially after the two of them confirmed their relationship.

Today, Xiao Zhan dared to stand him up; he has quite the courage.

He waited for about ten minutes or so before Xiao Zhan appeared in front of him. The helmet covered his ears and a bit of his black hair.

Wang Yibo could only see some curly hair in front of his forehead and this made Xiao Zhan look bald since he had lost his hair behind the helmet.

For some people, it made them look very ugly. However, it was different for Xiao Zhan, except for his pale lips from the cool breeze in the morning.

The moment he stopped the bicycle, he immediately hollered, “Quickly, quickly get on. We’re going to be late.”

When Wang Yibo saw him his anger vanished. He followed Xiao Zhan’s orders and got on.

As they arrived at school, the remote-controlled door was slowly closing. Xiao Zhan puffed his cheeks and increased his speed, rushing in just as the bell rang.

Xiao Zhan hadn’t stepped into a class on the dot that many times in his life and ran in.

The teacher wasn’t here yet and Peng Chuyue sighed, saying, “Did you get your thing…”

Before he finished, he saw Wang Yibo behind Xiao Zhan. After realizing the “thing” Xiao Zhan went to pick up, Peng Chuyue immediately swallowed his words and looked at Xiao Zhan in pity.

Xiao Zhan returned the key and laid on his desk, sighing as if he had nothing to live for.

It was tiring to fake date someone. So imagine if he was actually dating someone?

He rested for a bit while Wang Yibo touched the breakfast that had already lost its warmth. He had Li Wenhan toss it into the garbage can for him.

The school provided breakfast from 5:30 to 8:30am. Because there were some juniors who pull all-nighters for studying, the school provided midnight snacks as well.

But there were specific times; after all, the people in the cafeteria needed to rest too.

Wang Yibo suddenly asked Xiao Zhan, “Did you eat breakfast?”

“When would I have the time to eat?” Xiao Zhan complained. He spent the rest of the time picking Wang Yibo up.

Wang Yibo walked out of the classroom before the morning study session was over.

While the class was on break, he carried a bowl of warm and delicious dumplings into the classroom, giving it to Xiao Zhan. “Here, your reward.”

Xiao Zhan immediately sat up straight and he followed Wang Yibo’s gaze, asking, “You climbed over the wall again?”

“What are you scared of? It’s not like you came along with me.” Wang Yibo raised his chin and said, “Eat quickly. We’re about to start class.”

The people surrounding them had heard this clearly and they all started to gossip with the person next to them.

The news had spread and within two minutes, everyone’s gazes were on Xiao Zhan.

They knew that Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo had a nice relationship, but how good was their relationship?

Wang Yibo even climbed over the wall to buy food for Xiao Zhan.

They recalled how the two had to stand out of class because Wang Yibo had climbed over the wall as well.

Someone started to gossip, “He went to buy food for Xiao Zhan last time too?”

“Wang Yibo is good at repaying favors…”

“How come I didn’t get a chance to call the ambulance for Wang Yibo? Look at how good Xiao Zhan is treated!”

There was not a single person in the room who wasn’t jealous. After all, who didn’t like eating “junk food” outside of school?

But they weren’t as brave and daring as Wang Yibo. They were scared of violating the school rules and if someone would do that for them, they would’ve been extremely delightful!

But Xiao Zhan didn’t dare to eat. He said softly, “We’re not allowed to eat in the classroom.”

“What are you scared of?” Wang Yibo took out something from the bag carrying the dumplings and shook it.

He sprayed it between the isles of the desks and came back after spraying the entire room in it.

The room was filled with a strong sense of perfume and someone was able to differentiate the brand of the perfume and they cursed. “Wang Yibo is rich!”

Xiao Zhan stared at this in confusion as Wang Yibo said, “Unless someone tattletales, the teacher won’t find out.”

Everyone finally understood that Wang Yibo was covering the scent of the dumplings with perfume.

Wang Yibo glanced at everyone in the class and everyone all looked away when they heard Wang Yibo say, “If someone dares to tattletale, I’ll beat them up. If I can’t find the culprit, I’ll beat everyone up.”

Everyone was speechless.

Why are you so bold?

Seungyoun and Zhou Yixuan laid on their desks, silently closing their eyes.

Li Wenhan looked up and then back down, trying not to laugh.

Xiao Zhan was still hesitating when he heard him threaten, “If you don’t eat, I’ll even beat you.”

When Wang Yibo said this, someone immediately noticed that Wang Yibo was placing the blame on himself. Even if someone tattletales, the teacher would know that he had forced Xiao Zhan to eat.

Yet, Xiao Zhan didn’t notice. Whenever he heard that Wang Yibo was going to beat someone up, he genuinely started to tremble in fear.

Xiao Zhan opened the lid of the bowl and hot air assaulted his face.

He hesitated for a few minutes, leaving him not that much time to eat. Xiao Zhan scooped a dumpling up and blew at it, eating the first one under everyone’s watchful gazes.

Then, he eagerly went to scoop the second one. He needed to finish before the teacher entered the class.

Seeing this, Wang Yibo knitted his eyebrows.

He suddenly kicked the tables of the two lazy pigs and Seungyoun immediately sat up, asking, “What’s the matter?”

“You guys go keep squat near the stairs and stop Teacher Nei from coming here.” After that, he said to Xiao Zhan, “Eat slowly. Don’t burn yourself.”

Xiao Zhan suddenly coughed and his snow-white face gradually turned red.

Seungyoun and Zhou Yixuan both stood up and when they walked to the stairs, Nei Mingjue arrived.

The two students suddenly smiled widely, revealing their white teeth. “Teacher Nei is here for class?”

Nei Mingjue stopped walking in alarm and the bell rang at this time. He paused and was alert. “What do you guys want?”

“No, we don’t want to do anything.” Seungyoun rummaged through his pocket and found half a box of cigarettes, immediately shoving it back in his pockets.

Zhou Yixuan followed suit and took a few steps downstairs, saying genuinely, “We suddenly remembered that we haven’t given you a gift for teacher’s day yet. So, we wanted to talk about our feelings for you.”

Zhou Yixuan rummaged for a while and finally found an Alps candy, saying, “Here. For you.”

Nei Mingyue reached over and took it, wanting to walk around them when Seungyoun suddenly walked up too.

“Um, it’s nice weather today. Teacher Nei is also very handsome.”

Nei Mingyue was speechless.

He was indeed a handsome teacher in a school and he subconsciously lifted his glasses, saying, “Ok guys. Stop flattering me. We should go to class.”

“I heard that you don’t have a girlfriend yet, right?” Zhou Yixuan added and walked over, smiling. “Teacher, I have a cousin who is around your age and also has a Ph.D. How about you guys meet up one day?”

“…” What do you guys want to do?

Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Xiao Zhan finally finished the dumplings. It was approaching winter, but sweat appeared on Xiao Zhan’s forehead.

Wang Yibo put the takeout box away and tossed it into the garbage can behind them, spraying the perfume again.

He peeked out and called for Seungyoun. “What are you guys doing?”

Seungyoun and Zhou Yixuan got the message, hurriedly moving to the side and gesturing for the teacher to walk. “Teacher, quickly go to class. We will escort you there.”

“…” Nei Mingjue was speechless and was invited into the classroom full of perfume scent by two very scary and bad students.

To speak the truth, no matter how expensive the perfume was, it didn’t smell good if it was sprayed often.

The teacher sneezed and knitted his brows, glancing around the class in confusion. “Who sprayed it? Why are you making the room that sweet-smelling?”

The students all looked down.

With “Unoffendable” in the class, who dared to say that Xiao Zhan was eating in class?

Wang Yibo replied, “I sprayed it.”

Nei Mingjue felt a headache rising from his words, and after smelling the perfume, the headache became worse. “What are you doing?”

“CLK launched this new Cherry Rain set of perfumes which cost 680 for 10 millimeters of it. I want to let everyone know that our class is wealthy, willful, and can all afford this.”

Everyone started laughing. Nei Mingjue and the students all bathed in this perfume and the teacher’s lips twitched. “Well, aren’t I lucky?”

Wang Yibo said, “You should feel so.”

Xiao Zhan quietly looked down and couldn’t help but laugh.

Everyone bathed in this smell and happily paid attention in class. In just an afternoon, everyone had this special scent on them.

In this place where people could only get in through their abilities or spending money, everyone found out that Class 1 was full of wealthy and willful people who liked to flaunt their wealth.

The School Magazine Department came to interview them and someone told them what Wang Yibo had said. That night, the department had set the draft.

The next day, there were other classes that mimicked Class 1, buying an even more expensive perfume.

When Xiao Zhan and the others were sitting together in the cafeteria, Seungyoun was laughing.

“Look what happened now. Class 10 is LO’s Forest Light while Class 3 is FLAO’s Babila. In the future, would we be able to differentiate who is from which class-based on scent?”

Zhou Yixuan immediately said in a singsong tone, “I am from Class 1  — Cherry Rain’s perfume scent!”

Peng Chuyue laughed out loud.

This competition didn’t last for long. Friday morning, everyone was to gather in the sports field.

The old principal held a loudspeaker and criticized this competing atmosphere the students started in school.

He said firmly, “Within three days, all the classes need to hand a self-criticism letter to me! Think about why you guys are coming to school! Next Monday, send a representative to read the letter out loud!”

The loudspeaker made his voice louder and it rang across the sports field.

On the neat and straight line of classes, the classes who hadn’t participated in this competition clutched their stomachs and laughed out loud.

Those that did all looked miserable as they gathered together to write the letters.

Regarding Class 1’s self-criticism letter, Xiao Zhan placed the blame on himself.

On his way back home, he trudged his steps as if he was defeated, keeping his head down. Wang Yibo was in high-spirit as usual.

“Just write the letter as if it was homework. Talk about our class’s faults in the beginning then the plans for the class later on.”

“Easy for you to say.” Xiao Zhan glared at him and said, “Next Monday, I’m most likely the representative to read for the class. I’m going to lose face.”

“Why would you lose face? Who says you’re the one reading it?”

“But our class knows that it started because of me eating the bowl of dumplings!”

Wang Yibo held in the urge to laugh and the more Xiao Zhan thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.

He felt extremely ashamed and hit Wang Yibo, saying, “You’re still laughing! You only know to cause me trouble! Last time, I had to stand outside of class because of what you said. This time, it was because of what you said that I had to write a self-criticism letter too! I’m losing so much face.”

Wang Yibo grabbed his hands and pulled Xiao Zhan in his arms, curling his lips. “You’re not crying this time?”

Xiao Zhan’s eyes flickered.

Last time, he sobbed loudly when he had to stand outside of class. He wanted to crawl into a hole due to shame.

But this time, he dragged the entire class down with him and he didn’t even cry.

He moved out of Wang Yibo’s arms and turned around, walking ahead and murmuring, “I’ve become more and more shameless because of you.”

As he said this, the tip of his ears slightly turned red.

Wang Yibo was really trouble.

Xiao Zhan didn’t go straight to the bus station and Wang Yibo was a bit disappointed.

He knitted his eyebrows and said, “Your brother’s picking you again?”

“Mhm.” Xiao Zhan looked to the side and he sighed in relief when Xiao Cheng came to pick him up.

At least, Wang Yibo didn’t need to bring him to school and back home every day now. His parents wouldn’t be able to find out that he was close to Wang Yibo as well.

He stared for a while and then started to push Wang Yibo. “My brother’s here. Go quickly.”

Wang Yibo allowed him to push himself and smiled. “You always make it seem like we are having a secret affair. Even if nothing is going on between us, you’re making it seem like something is.”

Xiao Cheng was almost here and Xiao Zhan hurriedly looked over.
