《How Could I Lose to Him》


 CH 1

    What Sui Houyu did not expect was that he would be standing outside, waiting for someone.


    Of course, he was so bored he could also watch a farce.


    That would be quite interesting.


    In mid-August, summer vacation was about to pass. The weather was utterly desolate.


    When he woke up in the morning, there was a drizzle, and it was raining at that time.


    The water on the ground has disappeared.


    On the dry ground, it is hard to find a trace of wetness even in the shadows. Everything exposed to the sun seems to be steaming, and even the air smells of melting asphalt.


    The cicadas are hoarsely screaming as if this was a way to signal to the world that they have not been cooked yet, and their will was still strong.


    Leaning on the railing, Houyu could feel the warmth of the railing through his clothes.


    He looked down at the drink in his hand and held it with one hand. He hooked the tab with his fingers. He took a sip, looking at the buildings near him disinterestedly.


    If he didn¡¯t navigate it based on the map, he probably wouldn¡¯t even know that there was such a place in this city.


    To get to this place called Xiangjiaxiang, he actually needed to take the expressway to Linshi, get off the expressway, and drive for another half an hour.


    It is basically a lane between the two cities.


    Such a location can be regarded as one of the six districts of the city as if it is an isolated area, an independent place in the corner of the city. He looked around, there were no particularly tall buildings here; most buildings here are no more than six or seven stories tall, the vehicles for the disabled are on the road. The restaurants seem to belong to small stores, and most of them say [Home cooking].


    The tourism industry is being developed in this neighborhood recently. The environment is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and life can be considered comfortable and relaxed.


    Overall it¡¯s not bad, but one cannot be too sure about the night.


    He talked to the owner of the hotel on the phone, and the owner said he was playing mahjong. After that, he will come to pick him up and asked him to wait for a while. This was the standard slow-paced life in small towns.


    After hanging up the phone, he saw the notification of someone @-ing him on the top of the phone screen. He clicked into the class group chat. He saw that all the students in the class were swearing as if they were having a debate.


    He scrolled up the chat log and saw that someone had reposted a screenshot of the chat, saying that the school group chat of Fenghua Private High School was openly dissing Houyu.


    He clicked on the screenshot, it was nothing more than spreading that he was disgusted by cats and dogs and how he looked ugly and low quality.


    Afterward, they trumpeted1 how handsome their school bullies are and how good exercise is2. Like the pride of heaven, the school bullies have also become ¡°male gods.¡± There are also girls who are worried and fear that Hou Yu will be troubled by their school tyrants when school starts.


    [1] Trumpeting basically means to loudly boast about stuff


    [2] I think it''s kinda talking about how Hou Yu is thin (?), and that''s why physical education/exercise is important


    He turned it off after a quick glance.


    Sui Houyu¡¯s high school suddenly merged with another high school to improve itself, and the students from the two schools will go to school together after the beginning of the term.


    Both sides are discussing, and there are even people who have mixed into the other school group chat as spies.


    It can be seen that they are really free this summer vacation.


    Houyu started typing in the group to answer: [In a sense, it can be said that their evaluation of me can be considered objective.]


    Ran Shu: [The face is disgusting? I¡¯m afraid that they don¡¯t know what a country¡¯s glory is3.]


    [3] The sentence in the raws didn''t make much sense in English so I changed it to the closest possible equivalent I could think of


    Former Squad Leader: [Warning for usage of dangerous adjectives.]


    Ran Shu: [I¡¯m going now¡­ I don¡¯t want to kneel, I just feel my knees are going soft.]


    After, Houyu chuckled ignorantly as he put the phone back in his pocket.


    While he continued to wait, he happened to see two people making a scene.


    There was a girl not far from Sui Houyu, who just came from the convenience store.


    The girl is tall, had her hair in a ponytail, and was wearing a simple T-shirt and denim shorts. The skin tone is wheatish and looks very beautiful.


    First, a gangster came to flirt with the girl.


    He said: "Meimei?, add a WeChat account to talk to me."


    The girl answered seriously: "Go away."


    [4] Means ''little sister'' literally, also used as a polite way of addressing a younger girl even without blood relation


    Then, the gangster started to behave harshly with the girl, reaching out and pulling her arm, as if to take her away.


    As soon as the two showed signs of quarreling, a boy hero rushed to save the world, shouting loudly: "Remove your hand!"


    As those two were fighting, they were stunned to hear Houyu laugh.


    The gangster gave Sui Houyu an angry look, seeming to warn him not to be nosy.


    Following his cooperation, Houyu dragged his suitcase to the side and completely ignored them, making room for them so as to not be affected and allowed them to continue.


    Because of the sound of luggage being dragged, the girl looked up at Houyu.


    Just a glance and the girl¡¯s eyes were not willing to move away from Sui Houyu.


    Sui Houyu can be called a pretty boy, simply as if he came out of a drawing. Mainly a shoujo? comic, because he looked like the male lead in those genres.


    [5] Shoujo is a genre of comics and shows that is generally directed towards females (mainly contains romance and fantasy)


    His eyebrows are beautiful, and even a little too exquisite. At 183 centimeters in height, he has a beauty that will bewitch? the country and its people. His hair is jet-black with natural curls, and his heavy and thick hair makes his face smaller.


    [6] It was originally written ''harm'' but in this context, ''bewitch'' makes more sense


    A pair of thick eyebrows, eyes reflecting water, the thick eyelashes that echo the volume of his hair. The bridge of the nose is tall but not too excessive, the tip of the nose is small and the lips are small and pink, and there is also a playful smile on the corners of his mouth.


    The girl looked in the direction of Sui Houyu for a long time.


    The person who came to save the girl and the gangster fought for a long time.


    The girl only saw Houyu and didn¡¯t want to see the two gangsters.


    Although the scene is entertaining, there is no audience.


    When the rescuer came to talk to the girl, the girl looked back at him.


    "Are you okay?" The rescuer asked questions while standing in front of the girl.


    This girl has seen Sui Houyu first and then this one. There is somewhat a gap between them.


    This little brother can be regarded as skeletal thin and looks different from ordinary people. What should one say about his facial features?


    Forcibly using idioms, it can only be described as "very different from the norm."


    His eyes are a bit different in size, and the eyelids are still single, but the larger eye has a double. The distance between the eyes is somewhat wide, the nose is good, and the mouth is normal, but they don¡¯t look good when combined.


    These five senses really insist on their own opinions, and no one accepts others.


    The girl replied casually: "I¡¯m okay."


    The rescuer continued to follow up: "I¡¯m afraid that the gangster will harass you again, where are you going, shall I see you off?"


    The girl was obviously unwilling. After thinking about it, she shook her head and refused and walked towards Sui Hou Yu: "Brother, can you send me home? I was just harassed and I am a little scared."


    What was this transfer of one person to another?


    This is called moving naturally and receiving beautifully.


    Following Houyu squeezed the drink can that had just been emptied, threw it into the trash can accurately, and replied casually: "Hey, who is your brother?"


    He doesn¡¯t like the name elder brother very much. He always found things like that strange.


    "Sorry, are you a younger brother?¡± The girl would still be wrong. Following his ignorance, Houyu took some chewing gum from his pocket, tossed out two pieces, and stuffed them into his mouth.


    The girl¡¯s gaze focused on his side profile, she subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to ask, "Are you waiting for someone?"


    Looking at Houyu¡¯s side profile, he has a beautiful curve of the bridge of his nose and jawline. When he lowers his head, his fluffy hair hangs down, resting on his forehead, curling just right.


    This kind of stunning beauty is not common in real life. After all, science and technology have not yet released the ability to add beauty filters inside human eyes?.


    [7] This means the filter inside human eyes that makes everyone look beautiful


    After Houyu responded vaguely and found out that the homeowner of the hotel in WeChat had sent real-time location sharing. After opening it, he could see that the host was walking towards him. He stood up, and the girl realized that there was a cat lying in the bag behind him.


    It looked cute.


    The girl actually followed him and asked: "This cat is beautiful, what is it called?"


    "Da-ge?." Houyu replied softly.


    [8] Da-ge means ''big brother'' but da-ge sounds better to me (as a name, so it''s left as it is)


    The girl didn¡¯t recover, and asked: "Huh?"


    "Meow brother."


    The girl was instantly amused: "This name is interesting. In line with its temperament."


    The boy who wanted to save the girl by being the hero saw that after he had worked hard, the girl ran away with someone else. He was speechless for a while and watched the two leave with such a dull face.


    After the two people walked far, the gangster came out and said unhappy, "Is this making people scared?"


    "Tsk, really bad luck, now girls like that kind of girlish boys? Look at that guy who is long¡­" The boy choked for a while and finally compromised. "He¡¯s really pretty. However, I am not bad either."


    The rogue brother didn¡¯t want to answer this question. Even if he was his friend, he couldn¡¯t admit the lie without his conscience.


    Then the gangster sighed: "I acted and instead got beaten by you several times."


    The two boys were still unconvinced, and squatted side by side on the pavement with a look of bad luck.


    The host who came to pick up Houyu was a bit lame.


    As Houyu noticed this, he took the initiative to drag the suitcase towards him and walked over.


    The homeowner looked to be in his thirties, with a fat body and eyes facing the girl who left. He asked, "Will you wait for her?"


    "I do not know her."


    "Not a girlfriend?"


    "No."


    The host helped Houyu carry the suitcase and was rejected by Houyu.


    The host smiled and said: "I¡¯ll still be here when you rent a hotel and get a girlfriend. How about just friendship, if it turns out not to be love?"


    "I want to live alone."


    "How come you came to live here?"


    "I¡¯m a minor and left home to live here."


    The homeowner nodded in understanding: "We are generally alone here, but it is easy to live here, but if you have come here to rent a house, what about the family members."


    Sui Houyu followed the owner into the building of the community, carried his suitcase up the stairs, and replied, "I didn¡¯t tell the two families."


    "Two families?"


    "Well, divorced and married someone else, isn¡¯t it just two families?" Houyu didn¡¯t fully clarify that he moved out and has started to live here. The two families haven¡¯t found out and thought he was living in each other¡¯s house.


    Since then, the landlord has not asked about this matter again, but only explained some things that need to be paid attention to when living here, as well as the location of nearby shops, and finally said: "Cleaning aunt comes around ten o¡¯clock every day. If you don¡¯t want to be disturbed, set the code lock to do not disturb. Just click the one inside the door, and the cleaning aunt will not come in."


    Houyu sat in the living room, listening to the homeowner¡¯s eldest brother whistle from near to far, and he quietly took out his mobile phone to buy earplugs.


    Even with the door closed, the whistles in the hallway can be heard so clearly. This soundproofing is really unflattering.


    His sleep quality is extremely poor, which is especially hypocritical.


    After Houyu finished packing his luggage and looked around the apartment, it was already evening before he knew it. He decided to go downstairs.


    By the way, the dinner was settled. He didn¡¯t walk far, but he saw the rescuer and the gangster.


    The little brothers leaned back and walked together.


    With Houyu¡¯s laugh today, it was all on these two people. After seeing them, he burst out laughing. The two men apparently saw him too, and they could now be regarded as enemies.


    They were extraordinarily jealous. Especially after Sui Houyu laughed quite mockingly, which stimulated their sensitive nerves and caused the two people to walk directly towards Sui Houyu.


    When the two people walked towards Sui Houyu, their aura was shocking, and their bodies swayed with their arms. They staggered to Sui Houyu¡¯s side, reaching out to put their hands on Sui Houyu¡¯s shoulders, but they were gently avoided by Sui Houyu.


    The little brother rescuer raised his chin to the side of the alley, and said in a weird manner: "Brother, let¡¯s walk around the alley?"


    This seems to be a code word, the implication is to ask him to have a showdown to regain his face.


    Sui Houyu also felt that there was nothing to do, so he agreed.


    The three of them walked towards the alley.


    Before entering the alley, the two boys planned to teach Houyu how to be a true man. Within five minutes, the howling like that of ghosts and wolves came from the alley. They were very miserable and more emotional than the prisoners who were forced to confess in the TV series.


    This street also has a unique style. Even when they shouted like this, and no one else came to intervene. What could they do? The pace of the people passing by did not speed up.


    Not long after, a boy finally came in. His pace was very slow. When he came in, he seemed to be still tilting his head to see who was fighting with whom.


    The two little brothers saw the boy, as if they had seen a savior, and shouted excitedly: "Da-shixiong?!"


    [9] Da-shixiong also means the same as da-ge but the meanings are kinda different. Shixiong kinda means something like a senior, like the word ''sunbae'' in Korean


    "Yeah." The boy called big brother lazily replied. After entering, he propped his arm and sat on an oil drum, and asked, "What¡¯s the matter?"


    When Houyu looked carefully, he noticed that there is a wooden board on the oil drum for people to sit on. Obviously, these people often come here.


    When Houyu saw that another person came, he stopped his hand very cooperatively. Even though there was another person on the opposite side now, and he was not afraid. Instead, he leaned to the side and waited for them to chat.


    When he was bored, he took out the gum from his pocket, shook out two pieces, and stuffed them into his mouth.


    When the big brother listened to his two brothers, he glanced at Sui Houyu, and quickly withdrew his gaze again.


    After listening to the causes and consequences, the elder brother said in a deep voice: "So if you did not provoke him, you would not have been beaten. You two deserve it, brother, please continue."


    After the big brother finished speaking, he made a gesture of "please, please."


    It really didn¡¯t matter.


    As Houyu raised his eyebrows when he saw this, he was very surprised by this attitude. This one really sat on the oil drum so calmly and started watching the show.


    Houyu looked at the two gray-headed boys, raising their fists, ready to start beating people again.


    The big brother sat close, you can see that Sui Hou Yu is a practice target to him.


    With Houyu¡¯s skill and focus on actual combat instead of the fancy legs for show, the two friends were no match for sports students, and it was normal for them to be beaten.


    His friends are like two sandbags, the kind that can stubbornly return but can¡¯t hit people back.


    There were grievances between the actions, humbleness when being beaten, and sternness when wailing, which caused the big brother to sigh: "Oh, tch tch."


    Hearing this sound, Sui Houyu suddenly stopped, seeming to be suspicious that this man had tricks up his sleeve.


    He turned his head, the senior brother was also startled, looking at him in wonder. He asked, "Why, does the opponent suddenly feel dissatisfied?" He took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and continued asking, "Why don¡¯t we take a picture?"


    Sui Houyu felt that this guy was 80% a freak. But he didn¡¯t intend to go too deep into it.


    "Oh, it¡¯s okay." After Houyu said that, the fight continued.


    The gangster called out: "Gege! Gege1?!"


    [10] Literally means ''older brother'' and again, doesn''t have to be blood-related to address people this way politely


    The big brother¡¯s friend was beaten for a while, and then he started calling him again. He refused very decisively: "Won¡¯t help."


    "It¡¯s not¡­. Gege, please fight!"


    "Oh, yes." He finally moved.


    His frame was very good, so well that Houyu stopped by himself. The two beaten up looked at him, and then looked at Houyu, and they hid behind the big brother quickly. These two have no dignity.


    The author has something to say:


    The gong, nicknamed Gege, because he doesn¡¯t like people calling him Brother Hou:


    Suffering from insomnia but don¡¯t feel sleepy. It¡¯s just that he feels bad when he doesn¡¯t sleep.


    Already being anxious.


    This is the sand sculpture youth of a group of naive ghosts with different personalities. Perhaps there are personality defects, growth, healing, and passion.


    Sui Houyu: It¡¯s too literary for me.


    Hou Mo: This is an inspirational story about picking up the racket and loving you, and putting down the racket, and pressing on you.


    Sui Houyu: You should carefully consider the words.


    Hou Mo: I can¡¯t hug you with that racket. Putting down the racket won¡¯t kill you.


    ¨C


    Whenever you click on this book, it is a kind of grace to meet you. I am lucky to meet you, I hope I can bring you happiness.


    If it brings you unhappiness, I¡¯m really helpless, that was not my intention.


    Thank you, thank you.

 CH 2

    The atmosphere was both embarrassing and tense. The big brother could only help in easing the atmosphere: "Why don''t you... shake hands and make peace?"


    The younger brother moved his arm away from Houyu and replied coldly: "I don''t want to shake hands with him."


    "Then let my two brothers apologize to you."


    "No need to apologize." Sui Houyu finally raised his head to look at the big brother, then smiled slyly. "I''m just bored and found them to relieve my boredom."


    The smile was just right, and the big brother raised his eyebrows at him.


    After Houyu finished speaking, he passed by them as he walked out of the alley.


    The night had already fallen; Houyu walked out from the dark alley to the brightly lit road. His body was surrounded by the shop''s billboard lights, and the light and shadow on his body were very eye-catching. His fluffy hair, slender figure, and two long legs were particularly astonishing. This figure was amazing enough.


    Thinking about that face again, it won¡¯t look hideous when hitting people, but unexpectedly... beautiful.


    The big brother watched Hou Yu leave, and when he disappeared in the alley, he looked back to his friend: "Can we stop picking up girls with this awkward method?"


    The little brother who would ''save'' people was not convinced, and rubbed the painful injuries on his body and said: "We are all brothers here, and there are no girls. Isn''t it boring?"


    After listening to this, the big brother twitched his lips and laughed: "What''s wrong with lots of brothers? It''s really not that self-sufficient. The content of future dates is to go with a partner to cut the skin1, and then go to tie the string together2 . How is that romantic and special?"


    [1] I wasn''t sure what it exactly meant but it apparently means circumcision


    [2] Tying the string together here means marriage/engagement, like the red string of fate thing


    The little brother rolled his eyes after hearing this: "What happens after cutting the skin? I''m getting goosebumps, why can''t I take it back?"


    Big Brother pursed his mouth and didn''t answer. He suddenly felt that the topic was very weird and disgusting.


    Looking at the two friends again, they seemed to be beaten up very badly, but it wasn''t too serious. It was obvious that when Houyu started fighting, he had a sense of control and didn''t hit too hard. They were simple skin injuries, and there was nothing alarming.


    Big Brother took them out of the alley and asked casually: "Have you eaten yet?"


    "Nope."


    The three of them went to a nearby store together, and the lady boss greeted them warmly: "Oh, Hou Mo! You''re here?"


    After speaking, she looked at the two behind him and continued: "Xiao3 Deng and Xiao Shen are here, too. Isn''t it summer right now? This is the third time??"


    [3] Xiao (С) means little and is often used as a term of endearment and/or used with familiar people


    [4] I think she''s talking about the fights they''ve had so far this season, not too sure about this one


    The three people responded casually. They then saw that the waitress was handing out the menu to someone and that someone was actually Houyu.


    Sui Houyu also looked up at them, and then continued to look down at the menu.


    The world is really narrow when it comes to Yuanjia?.


    [5] Yuanjia means a fated fore and is often used in dramas and soap operas when talking about your soulmate


    Houyu looked through the menu and ordered a few more dishes.


    The lady boss wrote down and asked: "How many people are going to eat here?"


    "Myself."


    "One person can''t eat so much. Our family has plenty of food, and three dishes should be enough."


    "It''s okay, just get them." After Houyu was done, he returned the menu to the owner and then leaned back on the chair to play with his phone.


    Houyu clicked on the WeChat menu and saw that Ran Shu had sent him a voice message. When he clicked on it, he heard a squeaky? voice: "You, you, you really want to move out? Do I need to make arrangements for you? Come on! Really, I can''t give you a house right now!"


    [6] I''m not sure if it means squeaky here, I might be wrong


    Ran Shu was a stutterer. Or at least the most annoying kind of stutter.


    If someone is stuttered in the second half, you can guess what he meant by listening to the first part, and there is no need for him to continue talking. Stuttering in the first paragraph really tests people''s patience. You have to listen to the long prelude every time.


    Houyu: "Can you send me a text next time?"


    Ran Shu quickly replied: "You, you, do you fucking dislike me? Typing and typing are hard?."


    [7] The original text said typing twice


    "I have trouble listening to you."


    Houyu suddenly received a 57-second long voice message. Seeing the long time frame, he didn''t want to listen to it anymore, so he put the phone directly on the table.


    Don''t look at Hou Mo and his friends right now. Even though they came later, their food came up first, mainly because their dishes were simple.


    The owner is an aunt in her fifties. She has a loud voice and enthusiasm. She brought it up and introduced: "I just went to the backyard to pick the vegetables. I have not sprinkled any chemicals. There should be no problem. You can''t keep eating like this. Thin and long body... why don''t you eat more?"


    What they call their third-best dish was noodles in clear soup, steamed buns, and eggs. There is nothing else.


    The three of them were eating pitifully. At the same time, they saw Houyu''s table kept serving food not far away. He ordered six dishes and three bowls of rice just for himself; he then started eating.


    The lady boss was quite busy, but she stopped after a while and stood aside, seeing Houyu eat with interest.


    This scene seemed to be like watching an eating broadcast. A person who looks so skinny without a trace of fat can eat so much. No one knows how he does it.


    Hou Mo looked at the clear soup and water in front of him, and then at the big fish and meat on the side of Sui Houyu, and suddenly felt a little bit sorrowful.


    But this feeling soon disappeared. Mainly because Sui Hou Yu was eating so happily, Hou Mo also felt that he had gotten a kind of spiritual satisfaction, as if he was also full.


    This is probably the fun of watching eating broadcasts?


    Deng Yiheng, that is, the little brother who saved the girl, couldn''t help muttering: "This kid is too capable of pretending. Can he really eat so much?"


    Shen Junjing, the rogue brother, replied in a low voice: "This is not something to pretend. If I don''t fast, I can eat more than him."


    After Hou Yu left, the lady boss also walked over to Hou Mo and sighed: "This little girl is pretty and tall, but she''s just too much of a foodie."


    All three of them looked at the lady boss with complicated eyes.


    Finally, Hou Mo reminded her: "Auntie, that''s a boy."


    The lady boss was startled, and then asked in amazement: "Do men grow up so handsome nowadays? They are now getting more handsome than you."


    Hou Mo did not approve of this sentence, and replied: "Did I bring you just six dishes? Don''t you think my face is better than a normal handsome male?"


    The lady boss laughed heartily: "Yes, our Hou Mo is the most handsome."


    Hou Mo dared to say that. On the one hand, it was because he was stinky and shameless, and on the other, it was because he did look good. Hou Mo didn''t have the same skin tone as other children since he was a child.


    Here, warm and white skin was common. Hou Mo''s skin was a rare cold light white, one degree whiter than ordinary people with fair skin. It seems that he was born with a little melanin, and his hair, eyebrows, and irises are not black, but linen-brown. He had fluffy short flax hair with light-colored eyes, like a cat. When looking at people, his eyes were light and fluttering, as if he doesn''t care about anything.


    He is always smiling, but there is no smile in his eyes. This is probably due to his naturally smiling eyes.


    In addition, he has a sharp-cut face, a high nose bridge, and deep eyes. His face is full of three-dimensionality. He is often asked if he is a minority or mixed race. In fact, he really doesn''t have the slightest pedigree in this area. The three generations of his grandparents are all Northeast people.


    Hou Mo and the other two walked out of the restaurant and sat at the table near the restaurant, watching the night sky.


    The cool breeze at night brings a scent of nature?. Living in this paradise-like place was just a little more comfortable at this time.


    [8] I''m not sure what''s the correct word but it refers to the kind of scent you''d smell in forests or areas with lots of trees


    At this moment, Hou Mo received a video call from the coach, breaking the silence.


    He took a deep breath and connected the call. He heard the coach yell: "I can see how much you are relaxing! Run at night if you don''t want to run during the day! Even during summer vacation, training can''t be left off!"


    Hou Mo has a good attitude. He is more clever than the "OK" gesture toward the camera: "Alright."


    "Don''t think of running round and round to fool me. I want to see your different steps change, and run separately. After I get home, I will use the APP and the video will be clear for me to see!"


    Hou Mo cleared his throat and replied with a smile: "Okay."


    He hung up the video call, and the three people wailed at the same time. The physical education students who took online classes were definitely the most embarrassing existence.


    Hou Mo and others walked to the stadium.


    This is the biggest sports venue in their neighborhood. The middle field was originally a football field, but it was occupied by square dance teams all year-round.


    Although the running track around is a little mottled due to improper care, it is also a good running venue.


    When the three of them were warming up, they saw a familiar figure Ò» Houyu had just run past them.


    The three people looked at each other.


    Deng Yiheng couldn¡¯t help asking, "What¡¯s the matter with this stuff? Didn¡¯t he run away right after eating? Aren¡¯t you afraid of a sagging stomach? This is the standard way after eating too much, right??"


    [9] It basically means that after eating too much, it is the most normal thing to do afterward


    Shen Junjing shook his head and muttered: "I guess it took him 20 minutes to get here. If he is not familiar with the nearby roads, it will take forty minutes to get to here. I guess he has just arrived."


    Deng Yiheng nodded: "Yes, he came with his suitcase today. I guess he just arrived here."


    Shen Junjing: "He is also an athlete?"


    Deng Yiheng remembered how this kid was when he was beating people, and agreed to this speculation: "Maybe he was practicing Sanda1?. I really can see it. He''s so skinny so he was able to fight."


    [10] Sanda, also called sanshou, is a Chinese kickboxing sport


    After Hou Mo finished warming up, he ran towards the track and followed Sui Houyu. The distance between the two wasn''t too close. Hou Mo didn''t surpass him, and no one stopped. They continued for ten laps together.


    When Houyu returned to the guesthouse, he felt bored and uncomfortable. After playing the game for a while, he got bored. He got up and cleaned up the room.


    In fact, this type of homestay is expensive, but it has other benefits. Things such as toiletries, toilet paper, etc., are provided by the homeowner. As Houyu had lived with his family for a long time, the homeowner simply sent him a new set.


    Utilities and electricity bills are also borne by the homeowner. There is also a cleaning staff coming every day, so he doesn''t really need to clean up.


    However, he just can¡¯t stay idle.


    After he finished packing, Hou Yu pinched his waist and looked at the room, as if there was nothing else to do. He sat down on the sofa, forcibly suppressing his irritability by eating two pieces of gum. He put his hands on his legs, opening and clenching them restlessly.


    In the end, he still couldn''t hold back. He walked out the door, and started running up and down the stairs.


    This unfamiliar environment made him feel uneasy.


    Anxiety can aggravate anxiety even more.


    He wanted to vent, but he couldn''t think of a good way to do so for a while.


    The soundproofing here is average, and his running back and forth like this still alarmed the neighbors.


    One of the apartments opened the door. The person looked out from the crack in the door and happened to directly face Sui Houyu who was going upstairs.


    It was actually Hou Mo.


    Hou Mo was also startled when he saw Sui Houyu, then he laughed and asked, "What are you doing?"


    "My treadmill will arrive tomorrow." After Houyu said this, he continued running.


    Hou Mo leaned out while holding the doorknob, only to catch a glimpse of the AJ sneakers11 already upstairs in the stairwell, so he returned to the door and explained to his mother: "Someone is running."


    [11] I assume it''s a brand of sneakers


    Hou Mo''s mother remained gently smiling, saying: "Well, I see. I''m going to rest. You should also go to bed earlier."


    Hou Mo helped his mother back to the room before returning to his own room.


    He turned on the computer and looked at the computer screen, hesitating for a while before typing a few words in the search box: ADHD.


    He has watched Sui Houyu fight and watched him eat, and found that even when Sui Houyu endured it very well, there were always some anxious little movements. Hou Mo couldn''t help but feel a little curious.


    After comparing for a while, Hou Mo felt that Sui Houyu might not have ADHD.


    Then, he saw other keywords in the related entry: mania.


    He clicked and looked at it, and then looked at the introduction on Baidu Encyclopedia: Feeling proud about himself, such as feeling that the mind is particularly flexible, or the body is particularly healthy, or particularly energetic; sleepless, and not tired; increased activity, or extreme excitement; recklessness and reckless behavior, or adventurous; obvious hypersexuality.


    Hou Mo looked at the page, touched his chin subconsciously, and couldn''t help but sigh: "Good physical strength, strong desire... this is a perfect match."


    The author has something to say:


    The last part is copied from Baidu Baike12, and Baidu Baike''s style is also reflected in the paragraph.


    [The age setting in this book is to be able to fall in love.]


    [There are indeed Chinese who are born with light-colored hair and light-colored pupils. There are examples in reality, but the ratio is very low, and there is no shortage of nutrition. Don''t worry. (The latter is a copy) Chinese people occasionally have red hair, but they are not necessarily "hybrid," because Chinese people have had red hair since ancient times. Liu Tang13, the "red-haired ghost" in "Water Margin," got this nickname because of his red hair.]


    [12] Baidu Baike is a kind of dictionary, kind of like a Thesaurus


    [13] Liu Tang is a fictional character from "Water Margin," one of the four classical novels in ancient Chinese literature

 CH 3

    Because the two schools merged and moved campuses, the school started a few days earlier.


    At this time, the students did not realize the conspiracy1.


    [1] Can also mean "issue"


    After the two schools merged, the students will have to be gathered together.


    High school students have a separate campus and are arranged to live in the original campus of Qingyu High School. Year One and Year Two school students are placed on the campus of Fenghua High School.


    The school name was also changed to Fengyu High School.


    Hou Yu dragged his suitcase to the Fenghua campus, and stood at the school gate as looked at the teaching building. Looking back to the endless cornfield positioned diagonally from in front of him, his expression gradually collapsed.


    The slender leaves of the green-blue corn bushes rustled in the breeze, looking comfortable under the sun.


    This kind of vibrant green matched Houyu''s face.


    The school was very close to Xingjia Alley, which is why Houyu chose to live there. He never imagined that the location of the school would be more remote than that of Xingjia Alley.


    Xingjia Alley is surrounded by mountains and rivers, while Fenghua High School campus is surrounded by loess slopes.


    He was also afraid that the reason they made a high school occupy such a huge area was because of this biased place. It was said that one could easily get lost inside the school campus. Some buildings that were finished constructing were left empty because no one knew what to do with them.


    OK.


    Get lost in school.


    Get lost after leaving school.


    Houyu could only follow the flow of people and comfort himself that he can return to the original campus next year.


    Today was Oritentation2 Day. The students weren''t wearing their school uniforms. If they were unfamiliar with their schoolmates, they won''t be able to tell who is who, or whether they were old alumni.


    [2] It can also mean Homecoming Day but ''orientation'' makes more sense


    Houyu wore noise-canceling headphones, a twilight red buckled on top of his head. It made his fluffy hair a bit settled. It was just that the tips of his hair that were not pressed down by the headphones stubbornly curved and swayed back and forth in the wind. Even the wind can''t smooth down the parts of his hair that stayed arched.


    The students surrounding and following Houyu all looked at him intently, aware that this young man was particularly dazzling in the crowd. It''s a pity that the young man was cold, his gaze sharp and pointed.


    Houyu walked into the crowd. From time to time, someone who recognized him would greet him: "Yu-ge."


    Another person said, "Yu-ge, Ran Shu is at the entrance of that arched building."


    Houyu responded casually before walking towards the building. As he approached, he saw that there was a group of people gathered, all of whom he knew well.


    When teenagers arrive in an unfamiliar environment, they all want to show off their aura and don''t want to be compared with people from another school. This group of boys gathered together, in different shapes and sizes, trying to display the folds of their clothes arrogantly.


    Zhonger3 and idiotic? .


    [3] It means the usual behavior of a teenager when going through puberty


    [4] The word here literally translates to ''sand sculpture'' but it is commonly used as a slang to describe a stupidly funny or foolish person or way of acting


    Houyu wanted to laugh.


    Ran Shu was different from the others.


    He squatted on the table, his head lowered. He glanced sideways at Sui Houyu, stood up abruptly and cursed: "Fuck, fuck, fuck, they will be re-tested and divided into classes according to their grades."


    Ran Shu, the best friend who has a close relationship with Houyu, is a fuerdai? whose daily hobby is to show off his wealth.


    [5] Rich second generation or a person who was born rich and has a lot of money to use


    He has no other advantages besides being rich, so he can only use this to prove himself and get the approval of others. Learning is his short board?. So short that it can just be ignored.


    [6] Meaning his weakness


    Houyu chewed gum and said nonchalantly: "Maybe I''m afraid of being grouped together with them."


    The two schools had merged and the students were all of young age. It was easy for them to become divided into two camps and start disliking each other. The school''s approach was to spread them apart. There is no such thing as a definite boundary. They have to become friends with students from the other school so they can''t make too much trouble.


    Ran Shu asked with a bitter face, "Then, what should I do?"


    Ran Shu and Sui Houyu''s academic performance were two extremes.


    Sui Houyu can easily rank first in the school, and Ran Shu can easily be the last place in the school. It is already a miracle that the two of them became friends.


    Houyu looked over at Ran Shu and said with a smile: "Don''t worry, ordinary people can''t kill you. They can''t get rid of you even if they wanted to."


    Ran Shu had no choice but to accompany Houyu to the dormitory. When he went there, he still mumbled: "Don''t look at them. The classes are scattered but the dormitory is not scattered. The fifth and sixth floors belong to our school. There are also some on the lower floors. The first floor is close to the garbage station. What a fucking dog."


    Ran Shu and Sui Houyu''s bedroom was on the sixth floor.


    For Sui Houyu, this floor was okay. But for the "Jiao Didi?" elder, this floor was really disgusting and it is easy to grind his little jiojio?.


    [7] Didi means ''little brother''


    [8] Jiao means foot and is pronounced as ''jio'' in some dialects, and here it means ''to have cold feet''


    Sui Houyu didn''t care either way. He chatted with Ran Shu on one topic and then another while moving around the dormitory and bedroom to clean up.


    Ran Shu mentioned something about renting a house with Houyu: "I, my family has a lot of houses and I don''t have to look for one when I go out to live."


    "My mother can easily find out that I am away from home. I can go to your mother and ask her to let you live somewhere else if I can help it."


    "It''s also..." Ran Shu sat grinning on one side, "You only pass by the broken and broken? house on weekends, it doesn''t matter. But the air conditioner in this broken dormitory doesn''t make the room cool for a long period of time."


    [9] This is because of Ran Shu''s stuttering


    The task of returning students today was to move into the dormitory and clean up.


    Both of them didn''t go to the assembly and no one came to call them.


    In the evening, the students who had been cleaning up came back one after another. They knocked on the door when passing by Sui Houyu''s bedroom, opened the door and said, "Yu-ge, Shu, the exam will start at 7:00 tomorrow morning. You two are in the no. 11 exam room. Take a look at the tallest building, in Building 2."


    One who is not familiar with this place can only describe which building it is.


    Ran Shu nodded and waved his hand: "Thanks, thanks."


    Houyu only with a nasal "um."


    According to the number of people in this level, there are thirty-two classes divided into two parts.


    Classes 1 to 9 are liberal arts, and classes 10 to 17 are sciences; there are also 15 international classes, which are signature classes of their two private high schools. The first class of the liberal arts class has the best academic performance, the second class is poor, and so on. The same goes for science classes.


    The exam was over in one day, and only the main subjects were taken. The school¡¯s grading rate is fast. It was rumored that the teachers worked overtime until the early hours of the morning. The next day, classes were already separated.


    Ran Shu already knew which class he would be in, so he didn''t join the crowd as they looked at the big list. He went to Class 17 early and occupied his favorite position in the classroom.


    The window side of the classroom, the corner of the last row.


    Bask in the sun if you want, and sleep if you want to sleep. It is a treasure trove of feng shui1? for the scumbag.


    [10] Feng shui is a practice in ancient China where they determine places with good energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. For example, a place with good feng shui can bring good luck


    Ran Shu sat on his seat, swaying the chair, when he saw a group of people walk in mightily. In this group of people, they were tall and smiling. Despite being in the seventeenth class, they were still in a good mood. Indeed, they were all quite talented.


    Their group also walked to the last row and sat in the four seats connected together in the middle. One of the good-looking boys sat near the aisle, quite close to Ran Shu''s position.


    Ran Shu glanced sideways at the boy and curled his lips.


    He looks good. His smile is a little greasy11. He was afraid that this kid will splash his oily ideas.


    [11] Can mean disgusting, trashy and/ or repulsive


    The next group of people who came in was familiar with these boys, and they started greeting them as soon as they came in. They were so noisy that Ran Shu rolled his eyes in annoyance.


    Someone said: "Class 17 will not be occupied by our sports specialties?"


    Fenghua High School used to have a sports specialty class and an art specialty class. These two classes had a lot of scumbags, and there was a group of them in the seventeenth class.


    While Ran Shu was swaying his chair, swaying, he saw Sui Houyu walking in with his bag on his back. He immediately turned silly as he watched Sui Hoyu walking towards him stupidly. He asked: "You, are you looking for me?"


    Houyu walked to his row and dropped his schoolbag on the desk in front of Ran Shu and said, "Is it possible to leave you alone?"


    "It''s really you? The class won''t be changed in third year!" Ran Shu didn''t stammer in anxiousness.


    Ran Shu''s stuttering is formed afterward, and he doesn''t stutter when he is in a hurry or when singing.


    According to Ran Shu, his stuttering was developed because he was frightened of his harsh father. Maybe, one day, his injured little mind will be healed and he would be fine.


    "Where is it different? Your father will always be your father." Sui Houyu didn''t care. As he sat down, he glanced sideways and looked at the person next to him.


    The "gege who didn''t stand up" that he encountered a few days ago was actually from this high school. He was still sitting not far away, just an aisle away from his position. He was holding his chin and watching them with interest, not shying away from Huoyu''s straight gaze.


    Ran Shu was very excited.


    He knew what Houyu has accomplished. He was so touched that he jumped up and hugged Houyu without letting go: "You, you are my dad12! My dad!"


    [12] Dad/grandfather is used when you think of someone as more superior than you


    "Go away."


    "Okay." Ran Shu let go of him of particularly quick.


    Once Ran Shu let go of Sui Houyu, he helped him move his chair back. He looked up and saw his acquaintance again.


    Su Anyi walked in.


    Another one who fell to Class 17 for him is still an angel.


    Ran Shu had tears in his eyes as he shouted: "Mom!"


    Sui Houyu patted him on the head and he realized that he had called out the wrong name. He immediately changed his words: "Jie13."


    [13] Jie here means older sister, but it''s not necessarily always used for blood-related older women


    Su Anyi didn''t answer. She directly sat in front of Sui Houyu.


    Ran Shu thought for a while, picked up his bag, and decided to stop sitting at the same table as Houyu. Instead, he sat beside Su Anyi.


    He knows what''s wrong with Houyu, so let Houyu be beautiful alone.


    Hou Mo saw Su Anyi walking past him and instantly thought of the next scene.


    He turned his head and saw that his friends'' eyes were all looking straight at her.


    This is a common problem in the sports specialty class Ò» there aren''t many girls in the class, very rare. There are more men than girls.


    He helplessly covered his face, fearing that his friends would do something embarrassing. Fortunately, they just started to act handsome and didn''t do anything excessive.


    Other students came in one after another. Hou Mo was bored so he spun the tennis ball on the table. He heard his friends say hello to those who had just entered, and when he looked up, he saw that Sang Xian had come in.


    Hou Mo stared at Sang Xian, his teeth starting to hurt in an instant.


    This product is really lingering1?.


    [14] It means that Sang Xian is wherever Hou Mo is, following him around and hard to get rid of


    Hou Mo asked Sang Xian, upset: "What''s your situation?"


    Sang Xian replied lazily: "Oh, I just think you are here."


    Hou Mo immediately cursed: "Fuck."


    When the classroom was almost full, the headteacher finally walked in.


    Seeing the class teacher, the boys in the last row suddenly wailed: "No!"


    "Gege, why are you so annoying?"


    "Gege, we want a female headteacher."


    He was called the group''s headteacher. He looked like he was in his early thirties, with half-length hair and a sloppy stubble on his chin.


    He looked up lazily at them and answered without care: "When would I want to see you?"


    He sorted out the student information sheet in the class and then pointed his hand, saying, "Start from here and introduce yourself."


    He didn''t even want to say one more word.


    The first person who started to introduce themselves was in the column with Houyu. One by one, the students introduced themselves when it was their turn.


    After Su Anyi stood up, she just said nonchalantly: "My name is Su Anyi," and sat down.


    Teacher Gege raised his eyes and glanced at her. He asked, "Nothing?"


    Ran Shu answered first: "Old Teacher, she doesn''t like talking."


    "Then you can continue."


    Ran Shu immediately stood up and introduced himself: "My name is Ran Shu. I used to be from Qingyu. I also went to Qingyu in junior and junior1? high school. I like to dance Ò» street dancing, and to sing..."


    [15] This is him stuttering again


    Houyu lifted his head and watched Ran Shu introduce himself. Then he looked around with a frown, seeing the mocking expressions as expected.


    He came here because of Ran Shu.


    Ran Shu is a very temperamental person, and there was a lack of students. He was obviously stuttering, but he has to make trouble with everything.


    Ran Shu didn''t plan to correct this problem and he lived quite comfortably.


    But there were always people around him who would mock him. Just because Ran Shu stutters, they laugh at him, making Sui Houyu very angry.


    Sui Houyu had a lot of double standards, and these standards were open and frank.


    He can bully1? Ran Shu, he can laugh at Ran Shu, but others can''t.


    [16] As in with friends, like teasing and just for fun


    He came to the seventeenth class deliberately, because he was afraid that Ran Shu would be bullied. He could only feel relieved if he was there to protect him.


    After Houyu looked around, he saw Hou Mo and his friend, who was separated from him by an aisle, looking at each other. They were laughing together. Hou Mo seemed to notice Sui Houyu''s gaze on him, so he returned his gaze.


    He gave him a quick glance. Houyu felt his eyes were very disgusting.


    Hou Mo was surprised. He and his friends were whispering but they were still heard?


    His friends said before that the homophony of Qingyu High School is like passion.


    Just now, Ran Shu introduced himself and mentioned Qingyu. It was a bit like love. Several boys looked at each other and smiled with meaning.


    Before Hou Mo''s smile disappeared, he was glared at by Houyu. He immediately retracted his smile.


    Houyu got up after Ran Shu finished introducing himself.


    Some girls in the class had already noticed him, and they were shy and dared not to look at him too much.


    When he introduced himself, the girls finally dared to look at him calmly. Deep inside, they were all secretly excited.


    Sui Houyu mumbled: "My name is Sui Houyu and I have a bad temper. Don''t mess with me, I''m sick1?."


    [17] Sick in like a personality way, not physically ill


    He sat down again after introducing himself.


    Hou Mo looked at Sui Houyu and couldn''t help raising his eyebrows.


    When Hou Mo introduced himself, he stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Hou1? Mo. I have a very good temper. You can provoke me. I am not sick."


    [17] Just know that Hou Mo and Houyu have the same ''hou''


    This sentence caused Ran Shu to look back at Hou Mo and scolded: "Fuck..."


    Why is this person so petty on purpose?


    Sui Houyu looked at Hou Mo pointedly.


    Hou Mo remained smiling, looking welcoming.


    At this time, the teacher looked at Hou Mo and said, "You two have not yet dealt with each other? I heard that you two got together in school with a stick. Why? A fight?"


    This teacher was also an individual talent, and he asked in an indifferent tone.


    Hou Mo still smiled: "How can I? I will definitely get along well with my new classmates, right?"


    Hou Mo reached out a hand to Houyu after he finished speaking.


    Houyu also extended a hand, but instead of shaking Hou Mo''s hand, he only patted it away: "I can''t. Get out."


    The author has something to say:


    Hou Mo: Successfully attracted the attention of my wife.


    Sui Houyu: Why is this person so annoying?

 CH 4

    Edited by Vai


    After Hou Mo was cursed at, a friend of his immediately became furious, ¡°Well, aren¡¯t you shameless?¡±


    There were many sports students in the class, which made them confident in numbers and were ready for a fight anytime.


    Ran Shu wasn¡¯t the one to back down and replied angrily, ¡°What-what do you mean?¡±


    Similarly arrogant, Ran Shu was not afraid of such things.


    The class adviser knocked on the table. He looked like he was no stranger to such happenings and spoke in a surprisingly calm tone, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m dead?¡±


    This group of sports students was obviously afraid of their adviser and sat down obediently again.


    After all, this was their former adviser.


    Ran Shu sneered and secretly gave the middle finger to the person who spoke up earlier while mouthing off provocations.


    Although Yu-ge was no match against a hundred opponents, if it was only against ten people then he had no problem. Are you afraid of farting?


    Sui HouYu was already used to Ran Shu acting like this and didn¡¯t try to stop him.


    In the eyes of others, Sui HouYu looked timid compared to Ran Shu.


    A few of the sports students sitting in front of them turned back to look at Sui HouYu and someone muttered, ¡°Is he that Sui HouYu? Wasn¡¯t it said that he was ugly? Why does he look¡­ like a little milk bean?¡±


    Another sports student followed, ¡°Well, I own a face that can anger anyone.¡±


    Hou Mo kept on smiling. He sat back down and cried, ¡°Laoshi, I¡¯ve been good but this classmate really has a bad temper. I¡¯m hurt, ying ying.¡±


    The teacher, who was as straight as iron and steel, couldn¡¯t stand the cries and berated coldly, ¡°Stop acting weird.¡±


    Hou Mo sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t stir up trouble.¡±


    It can be regarded as giving face to the teacher.


    It would seem like Sui HouYu wasn¡¯t that extraordinary.


    The teacher was also familiar with Hou Mo and commented, ¡°You would still be regarded as a sports student even if you go to Class 10. There was no need to come to Class 17.¡±


    In other terms, Hou Mo was a study god.


    Class 10 was the science faculty¡¯s star section.


    Hou Mo lowered his voice, tone feeble and weak that it grated on his ears. ¡°There was no other meaning. Even if I do well on this exam, I still won¡¯t get a scholarship. Better not waste any ink.¡±


    Hou Mo¡¯s friends couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. ¡°Da Shixiong, you have really entered into a new realm.¡±


    Hou Mo grinned and made no further comment.


    The self-introduction continued but got stuck again when it reached a person.


    The person sitting next to Sang Xian said, ¡°Laoshi, Sang Xian is asleep.¡±


    The teacher was too lazy to wake him and replied, ¡°Continue on.¡±

    It was Li-laoshi, a beautiful woman of the Onee-san type. She used to be Sui HouYu¡¯s adviser back at Lantau high.


    One of the directors pushed his glasses, looked at Sui HouYu, and decided, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you ask to cut his hair shorter?¡±


    Li-laoshi sighed, ¡°It would be better to not. He had cut his hair short before. It looked really ugly; like earthworms were crawling on top of his head.¡±


    Sui HouYu coughed in shock after hearing this description and suddenly felt unwell.


    Ran Shu collapsed after hearing this, ¡°Ling-jie! Could you not describe it?¡±


    After seeing Ran Shu, Li-laoshi told Ou Yang Ge-laoshi, ¡°You should separate Ran Shu from the others, he tends to harm a lot of people.¡±


    Ran Shu protested loudly. When Li-laoshi turned her attention towards him, he immediately raised his arms above his head and made a heart shape.


    Hou Mo heard his good friend mutter, ¡°His hair is just amazingly curly. At first, I thought it was carefully styled, as the curls and the bangs seemed to be perfectly placed.¡±


    ¡±Hair wax, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡±Looking at that fluffy hair, it seemed like it was just naturally curly, and no wax was used.¡±


    ¡±I¡¯ll say¡­ Good-looking people would always be good-looking no matter what.¡±


    Hou Mo was glad to hear that.


    Ou Yang Ge watched Li-laoshi leave before opening his notebook in preparation to talk about further announcements related to the school merger. Halfway through, Li-laoshi returned, though this time she brought the headmaster and once again informed that Sui HouYu¡¯s hair was naturally curled.


    Sui HouYu looked numb as he felt like a monkey being visited at a zoo.


    As she spoke all that, a student from Class 10 suddenly came and approached Li-laoshi, ¡°Laoshi! Your microphone is turned on and connected to our classroom¡¯s stereo. We heard everything you said.¡±


    ¡±Oh, oh, oh, I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Li-laoshi hurriedly turned off her microphone and closed the door.


    Ou Yang Ge sighed and looked back at his notebook to know where he last left off. At the same time, he casually informed, ¡°The little yellow hair at the back of the classroom is naturally yellow.¡±


    Hou Mo stressed, ¡°Laoshi, my hair color is flaxen.¡±


    ¡±Is there a difference?¡±


    Hou Mo¡¯s friend said, ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass Ge-ge. As someone who doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend, how can he distinguish hair colors when he can¡¯t even tell lipstick shades apart?¡±


    Ou Yang Ge ¡°tsk¡±-ed before moving his attention towards Sui HouYu. ¡°Sui HouYu, right?¡±


    In front of him was Sui HouYu¡¯s file, which he read quickly.


    After finding out that Sui HouYu would be a student in his class, Li-laoshi specifically sought out Ou Yang Ge. He listened in a muddle, as she explained Sui HouYu¡¯s specialties. He was really forced to listen to a special lesson for ten minutes.


    Sui HouYu replied with an ¡°Um¡±.


    Ou Yang Ge told him, ¡°You should be the class monitor.¡±


    ¡±I refuse.¡± Sui Hou Yu replied without thinking.


    He was completely unwilling and hated troubles the most. He has never once been a class monitor since childhood.


    ¡±You don¡¯t have to do anything, just keep a watch. If you sleep in class, then the whole class can sleep with you; but if you don¡¯t sleep, then no one else is allowed.¡±


    Having said that, he then pointed at Ran Shu. ¡°Ran Shu, right?¡±


    Ran Shu quickly agreed, ¡°Yes,¡±


    Ou Yang Ge continued, ¡°As the vice monitor, help Sui HouYu scold anyone who refuses to obey.¡±


    Ran Shu was stunned, then he nodded very happily.


    The class adviser was a little crazy.


    Sui HouYu had a disorder and was energetic. He sleeps for no more than five hours and has never slept during the day.


    In addition, to let Ran Shu scold people, he really was someone who was capable of scolding anyone to death.


    Ou Yang Ge wasn¡¯t finished, ¡°Hou Mo, you are the study committee member.¡±


    Hou Mo refused to accept it, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be ridiculous?¡±


    Ou Yang Ge replied, ¡°You are responsible for collecting the sports students¡¯ homework. If anyone fails to pass one, I¡¯ll settle it with you.¡±


    The sports students collectively wailed. They gradually felt that there was something fishy in regards to Ou Yang Ge¡¯s arrangements, but had no idea what it was exactly. They all looked at Sui HouYu and Ran Shu for the answer.


    After Ou Yang Ge finished his arrangements, he ordered, ¡°Later, the class monitor should collect the student¡¯s class form. Record their clothes size, and in the last column, write the last school they attended.¡±


    After the merger, the school would change the school uniform again.


    Those from Lantau would be given Fenghua¡¯s PE and school uniform, while students from Fenghua would be given Lantau¡¯s.


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t want to work, but Ran Shu had already left to take the form. He was very willing to be a class officer.


    Sui HouYu simply handed the work over to Ran Shu.


    He had to have a word with the class adviser and find a chance to quit from being the class monitor.


    At this moment, loud wailing could be heard from the classroom next door, with some of the students even going as far as shouting.


    Ou Yang Ge listened and then said, ¡°It seems like they were already informed.¡±


    Ran Shu became curious and asked, ¡°Know what-what?¡±


    Ou Yang Ge thought for a while before warning them, ¡°Don¡¯t cause a scene.¡±


    Hou Mo looked at Ou Yang Ge at that moment and figured out what he meant. Although a little puzzled, he still slightly coughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t cause any trouble.¡±


    This sentence was said to the sports students he was familiar with. It could be regarded as effectively silencing them.


    The atmosphere in the class became tense.


    ¡±The school has decided that you would spend five days of military training together with the first years.¡± Ou Yang Ge finally said.


    Even if they were prepared, they still couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°What the hell?!¡±


    ¡±We already finished the military training back when we were first years, and now we will train again in our second year?¡±


    After finally managing to calm the students with difficulty, Ou Yang Ge continued, ¡°Within these five days of military training, you can take the opportunity to get familiar with your new classmates and cultivate team spirit. Compared to the half-month of training back when you were first years, this time would be different as the people who would train with you won¡¯t be the same.¡±


    Ran Shu was so anxious he spoke quickly, ¡°Laoshi, it doesn¡¯t matter whether I take the training with them or with others, I don¡¯t wish to cultivate anything. This military training is unreasonable!¡±


    Hou Mo was on the same page with him and added, ¡°It¡¯s a waste of time to do these unnecessary things.¡±


    Ou Yang Ge ignored their protests and directly told Sui HouYu: ¡°Sui HouYu, record their clothes¡¯ sizes and the school would collectively distribute half sleeved camouflage shirts.¡±


    Sui HouYu reached out and took the form, ripped it into pieces and threw it in the air. The fragments fluttered and fell, the pleasant sight in contrast with the tense atmosphere.


    The sports students who hadn¡¯t crossed paths with Sui HouYu actually began to whistle.


    Ou Yang Ge stared at the students and suddenly smiled.


    When he smiled, all the sports students quietened.


    Ou Yang Ge suddenly said, ¡°I forgot to introduce myself. I am a PE teacher who is also in charge of the school¡¯s specialty faculty. The main training program is Sanda. I¡¯ll see you at the Sanda Hall if you have any comments.¡±


    A sports student whispered to Sui HouYu, ¡°Brother, all the PE teachers in our school participated in competitions and won the prizes. They¡¯re really not just scaring you.¡±


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t respond.


    Hou Mo suddenly opened his mouth and told Sui HouYu. ¡°Ge-ge is still the head of the Moral Education Department of our school. He likes to sit in the classroom¡¯s last row when he has no classes. He is likely to be your deskmate in the future.¡±


    Ran Shu, who thought he had occupied the Feng Shui¡¯s treasure land, was suddenly surprised and widened his eyes at Hou Mo.


    Even Sui HouYu was shocked for a moment and looked at Hou Mo in surprise.


    Looking at Ou Yang Ge again, they didn¡¯t seem to be joking.


    The teacher also seems to be very difficult to deal with.


    The teacher raised his hand and handed out a form again. Ran Shu looked back at Sui HouYu before still getting up to fetch the form and returned with a sigh. It was considered a compromise.


    The author has something to say:


    There are 88 random red envelopes in this chapter.


    *


    When I was in my third year of Junior high school, the school implemented a new military training. It was said to cultivate the spirit of hardship and lasted for ten days.


    Now that I think about it, I can¡¯t help but reminisce.


    Nell¡¯s Corner:


    Please excuse the comments I¡¯ve made if they aren¡¯t up to your liking. I originally planned on removing them but Vai suggested I keep them because they were funny. I hope someone else gets entertained by them too!


    On that note, please be aware that those comments were made under work induced stress so if anyone finds them rude, please excuse me hahaha! (Though it is true I don¡¯t like SHY for now, but I am aware that he will get better as the story progresses so that judgement is still up in the clouds hahhah.)

    Edited by Vai


    Despite the complaints, the issue about the second years doing the military training again was finalized.


    Fenghua campus was large, so the military training could be done at the school grounds.


    Before the training began, Hou Mo and the other tennis team members approached their coach.


    ¡±I¡¯ve known about this for a while now. For these five days when you need to attend the military training, I will arrange for some time in the evenings for the practice matches, as our training should never be missed.¡±


    The players dejectedly agreed.


    They had actually planned on asking the coach to have them instead train for tennis rather than participate in the military training, as it would be too hot doing the latter.


    At least, they liked playing tennis. Military training, on the other hand, they couldn¡¯t care less.


    Finally, Hou Mo and Sang Xian were left behind.


    The coach looked at them somewhat helpless, voice regretful as he asked, ¡°Won¡¯t the two of you really play doubles?¡±


    Hou Mo and Sang Xian didn¡¯t even spare the other a glance as they nodded.


    They participated in doubles twice. Although their opponents were obviously not as good as them, they still lost during those two matches, and it was due to Hou Mo and Sang Xian having a hard time cooperating.


    Both of them were highly skilled players. Unfortunately, their playing styles were just too different and none was willing to back down; resulting in both of them having no harmony.


    They were the only partners who clashed and almost got into fights with each other.


    If they paired with other people, their partners got overshadowed to the point of being traumatized, but if their partners moved on and found new partners, they would perform pretty well.


    Hou Mo sighed, ¡°My teammate is not good.¡±


    Coach Wang became so angry that his beard almost blew away; eyes narrowed, ¡°And you are the only one who is good?¡±


    ¡±They can¡¯t cooperate with me. I¡¯m guilty.¡±


    Coach Wang felt a little regretful. After thinking about it, he said, ¡°With the merger, I¡¯ll observe the students from Lantau and see if anyone can play doubles with you.¡±


    Hou Mo looked like he was angry enough to commit murder, ¡°I think it would be hard finding someone worthy of me. Besides, there are no sports students from Lantau.¡±


    ¡±Get lost! Get lost right now.¡±


    Hou Mo gestured ¡°Ok¡± and left.


    Sang Xian yawned and followed him.


    When they arrived back at the classroom building, Hou Mo paused in the hallway and told Sang Xian, ¡°You go back first, I need to call my mother.¡±


    Sang Xian didn¡¯t reply and only nodded, directly walking back to the classroom.


    After the call was connected, his mother¡¯s gentle voice could be heard from the other line, ¡°Momo, is class over?¡±


    ¡±Well, honestly the school has yet to officially start. Starting from tomorrow, the school has arranged for us to do the military training for five days together with the first years.¡±


    ¡±Oh, do you need to pay for it?¡±


    ¡±It¡¯s fine, I have won enough money from the school competitions. You don¡¯t need to worry about it. I just wanted to inform you that I won¡¯t be able to return for the weekend due to the training. How are you doing recently?¡±


    ¡±My health is fine, you don¡¯t need to worry.¡±

    If the residents weren¡¯t too disorganized, she generally didn¡¯t have a hard time cleaning up, although occasionally there would be a few bastards who would leave the rooms incredibly messy. During those times, mother Huo would stay until the night, just cleaning.


    ¡±I¡¯m not tired. One of the rooms has been leased long-term. The resident comes back only during the weekends, otherwise the room is empty. Also, he asked me to take care of his cat. I only need to feed it once every day and he gives me 300 yuan for five days. It¡¯s not that bad.¡±


    ¡±That¡¯s too much. The rent there is already three times more expensive than the ordinary rental house, and it¡¯s a long-term rental?¡±


    ¡±Well, what do we know?¡±


    ¡±Don¡¯t let yourself get too tired. I¡¯ll help you clean over the weekend.¡±


    ¡±Okay,¡±


    After ending the call, Hou Mo sat on a windowsill and stayed there for a while.


    Sunlight filtered through the window and shined on Hou Mo, making the crown of his flaxen hair look a few shades lighter, and the tips shine a bright gold. When he lifted his gaze, his long lashes looked like a halo of light.


    After a long time, he exhaled and then walked back to class.


    When he was near, he heard his friends swearing in the corridor. When he approached them, he saw that they had been locked out of the room and were cursing the ones inside.


    The door of the classroom had a glass window.  Hou Mo looked through it and saw Ran Shu provoking them, making the sports students jump in anger.


    Hou Mo walked over and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The crowd stopped talking.


    Hou Mo looked at Sang Xian. He was sitting on a windowsill in the corridor. He shrugged; things were already like this when he returned.


    Hou Mo turned the doorknob and said, ¡°Open the door.¡±


    When Ran Shu saw Hou Mo, he dragged Sui HouYu in the front.


    Sui HouYu stood at the door and told him, ¡°Press the F key to open the door.¡±


    Hou Mo turned towards his friends again and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    This was all caused by Deng YiHeng¡¯s flirting.


    He liked Su AnYi, who was close to Sui HouYu, and wanted her WeChat but Su AnYi had been ignoring people.


    Today, when Su AnYi returned from the toilet, Deng YiHeng suddenly blocked her and refused to let her in the classroom, saying that until she gave her WeChat, she wouldn¡¯t be able to enter.


    When Sui HouYu saw this, he directly kicked Deng YiHeng away.


    Most of the sports students were brainless. Seeing that Deng YiHeng had been kicked, they quickly came together and fight Sui HouYu.


    Who knew that after Sui HouYu dragged Su AnYi inside the classroom, he would close the door; ultimately locking out the group of sports students.


    After listening to this, Hou Mo pointed at Deng YiHeng and helplessly asked, ¡°Deng YiHeng, how many times have you already provoked him because of a girl?¡±


    Deng YiHeng was also wronged, ¡°I¡¯m already seventeen, if I don¡¯t fall in love now, then it would be too late for me.¡±


    The other people who weren¡¯t aware of the truth asked, ¡°He already has a similar past record?¡±


    Afraid of such a dark past being dragged into the light, Deng YiHeng quickly shook his head at Hou Mo, who stayed silent.


    Hou Mo adjusted his expression before turning to Sui HouYu and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ll apologize on behalf of my friend. Can you let us in?¡±


    Sui HuoYu shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Hou Mo looked at Sui HouYu¡¯s face, which was so beautiful it could bring disaster to a country and its people. Hou Mo felt the anger brewing in his heart instantly disappear.


    ¡±Xiao Yuyu, my friend was wrong. Come here and apologize.¡± Hou Mo said, pulling Deng YiHeng by the neck and asking him to apologize.


    At being called Xiao Yuyu, Sui HouYu was so angry he almost rushed out to beat him.


    Deng YiHeng listened to Hou Mo and soon apologized.


    Sui HouYu turned towards Su Anyi. She didn¡¯t say anything and only went back to her seat, which showed she didn¡¯t care.


    So Sui HouYu opened the door.


    After the door opened, Hou Mo entered and as he passed by Sui HouYu, he whispered, ¡°I thought you would pick a fight.¡±


    ¡±I merely let him have a taste of his own medicine.¡±


    ¡°Hmm¡­ How upstanding of you!¡±


    ¡±Naturally.¡±


    Hou Mo walked towards his seat. When he sat down, he noticed a green light flashing from his mobile phone. He had received a WeChat message.


    Uncle Sang: Little Monkey, I heard you would be doing the military training again? Do you also have new school uniforms? Godfather will give you 50,000 yuan, take it and you are not allowed to return it.


    Hou Mo stared at his mobile phone before looking at Sang Xian, who seemed like nothing had happened.


    He shouldn¡¯t have told Sang Xian he was going to call his mother¡­¡­


    If others bought BaiSuiShan water bottles, he could only buy the cheapest mineral water. In order to buy KangSuiShan noodles, uncle Sang would give him money.


    He wanted to go swimming but he didn¡¯t have a swimming suit so uncle Sang gave him money. In short, as long as there was any reason, uncle Sang would give him money.


    Give money, give money, it¡¯s like he would smack him to death with that money!


    AbundantWealth : No need, I have prize money from the competitions.


    Uncle Sang: Your prize money isn¡¯t enough to buy even a pair of shoes.


    AbundantWealth: The team has sponsorship, same with my clothes and shoes.


    Uncle Sang: Just take it!


    AbundantWealth: It¡¯s really not needed.


    After the last message was sent, a red icon popped out on the screen, indicating that he had been deleted by the other party as a friend.


    Hou Mo handed it to the guy, he really did everything just so that he would accept the money.


    However, uncle Sang had transferred the money using a card so Hou Mo could just return it anytime he wanted. Being deleted as a friend wouldn¡¯t affect it at all. So he decided not to mind it any longer and sent a message on uncle Sang¡¯s phone number: Okay, I¡¯ll keep it for a rainy day.


    A moment later, uncle Sang added him as a friend on WeChat again and replied: Isn¡¯t that right?


    AbundantWealth:

    Morning of the first day of the school was spent in the introductions and distribution of the books and uniforms.


    In the afternoon, they had  to clean up. The school was big, so they wouldn¡¯t be able to finish it in a day. They would be dismissed after that, and military training would begin tomorrow.


    When the lunch break came, Sui HouYu and the others didn¡¯t go to the school cafeteria. Instead, Ran Shu took out his phone and contemplated which restaurant had delicious takeout. ¡°Just-just trying to order a meal from here is like gambling.¡±


    After speaking, he turned to look at the group of sports students next to him, hesitating to ask anything.


    Sui HouYu knew what Ran Shu meant, but he had a very bad impression of the sports students so he said, ¡°Do it your way.¡±


    ¡±Okay.¡±


    The sports students¡¯ meals were specially prepared and would be sent directly to their classroom. Each person would receive a lunch box.


    They could safely eat steak at school. After all, the meat had been strictly examined.


    When it was time to eat, several sports students from other classes would gather in Class 17, making the classroom noisy.


    After a while, someone came to deliver the food and students from other classes helped to get the boxes.


    Ran Shu¡¯s way was that if you weren¡¯t sure about which restaurant to order from, it would be better to order from all of them. If you think one is delicious, then you can order from there again.


    In this way, at least you won¡¯t be hungry or endure eating bad food.


    People are foolish and often capricious.


    The sports students nearby saw a magnificent sight of a table filled with takeaways and looked at it with wide eyes.


    ¡±Local tyrant¡­¡±


    ¡±Could they finish all that?¡±


    Deng YiHeng, who knew how much Sui HouYu ate and had witnessed his ¡°Mukbang¡± before, replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Everyone looked at Deng YiHeng at the same time, surprised how he knew this.


    Deng YiHeng glanced at their takeout again and suddenly thought to say something, ¡°That¡­¡±


    Hou Mo also took a look and immediately said, ¡°Shut up.¡±


    Deng YiHeng immediately shut up and obediently resumed eating.


    After eating, as Sui HouYu was sorting out the boxes, Hou Mo had returned from disposing of the garbage and stood beside him, saying casually, ¡°Recyclable garbage should be thrown in the bins on the first floor. Can you sort them out?¡±


    Sui HouYu glanced at Hou Mo and responded coldly, ¡°Oh.¡±


    Hou Mo suddenly smiled craftily and seemed like a ruffian at that moment. ¡°Actually, getting takeouts like this is a good way to know the restaurants but¡­ you also wouldn¡¯t know which place would give you diarrhea. There are many small shops nearby, so it¡¯s best to be careful.¡±


    Sui HouYu paused.


    Sui HouYu had noticed when Hou Mo stopped Deng YiHeng from saying something. At that time he was puzzled, but now he understood that Hou Mo waited until they finished eating to tell them about the garbage.


    He stared at Hou Mo and gradually his expression became ugly.


    Sui HouYu wouldn¡¯t have gotten angry if Hou Mo stayed silent. After all, he had no obligation to inform them.


    However, it was annoying how he deliberately came to gloat.


    Ran Shu directly cursed, ¡°Why-why are you such a dog?¡±


    Hou Mo believed he was innocent, ¡°Why am I a dog? You didn¡¯t ask.¡±


    Sui HouYu walked out with a garbage bag in hand and deliberately bumped into Hou Mo. Hou Mo didn¡¯t care, merely rubbed his shoulders and reminded, ¡°The infirmary is in building 6. Remember, they are only open until five.¡±


    Sui HouYu stared at Hou Mo for the last time before he left the classroom.


    After leaving, Sui HouYu vaguely heard a burst of laughter coming from the group of sports students.

 CH 6

    Edited by Vai


    Ran Shu was in a bad mood as they were taking out the trash. ¡°That dog-dog-dog is probably just making fun of us?¡±


    When Sui HouYu recalled the scene just now, his expression turned for the worst. He whispered, ¡°It¡¯s probably true, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t be so smug.¡±


    ¡±Then what should we do? Prepare medicine in advance?¡± Ran Shu¡¯s face scrunched up, almost like a grandpa squinting at a mobile phone on the subway.


    Both boys didn¡¯t know what to do. They constantly had a feeling that the sports students might ambush them at the infirmary and tell them it was all a joke. If they went, they would be ridiculed.


    After they stood there for a moment, Sui HouYu received a WeChat message from Su AnYi.


    Su Ayi: I bought some medicine.


    Su AnYi¡¯s name has a homonym. People who were on good terms with her called her Aunt Su.


    Among the people who got along well with Sui HouYu was Su AnYi- a girl who was spoiled by them. She won¡¯t be allowed to do something like throwing garbage.


    Just now, Su AnYi heard their conversation and took the initiative to buy medicine.


    Then, Su AnYi sent a picture.


    Su Ayi: I took a look into the list of restaurants blacklisted by the school doctor. Every time a student had a problem, they would take a note of where they ate and put it on the blacklist. We ordered from one of them. The list will be in the school¡¯s handbook but the school year has just started, the handbook is still being printed and so is yet to be distributed .


    Su AnYi seldom talked to others but wouldn¡¯t hold back around familiar people.


    Sui HouYu handed his phone to Ran Shu, who immediately started cursing after reading the message.


    After the two returned to the classroom, Ou Yang Ge asked Sui HouYu to make arrangements for that afternoon¡¯s cleaning.


    After hearing the teacher, Deng YiHeng, who sat next to Hou Mo, immediately whispered, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±


    Hou Mo rubbed his face and pretended to be calm, ¡°What goes around comes around. I just didn¡¯t expect it to be this fast.¡±


    During the students¡¯ cleaning time, Ou Yang Ge sat down and wrote something.


    He obviously had a posture that said: I¡¯m in charge; don¡¯t even think about making trouble.


    The sports students were sent by Ran Shu to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. Among them, Hou Mo¡¯s assigned area was the equipment warehouse, and he was cursing a lot.


    Hou Mo wore a cap and took a broom to sweep the dust at high places. Unexpectedly, a dead mouse was swept by him. The carcass fell mere centimeters away from him. He clearly heard a ¡°squeak¡± when ¡õ¡õ collided with the ground.


    How did it get there?


    Hou Mo was so frightened that he cried out in surprise, continuously spewing out curses while jumping around like a monkey.


    He ran to hide. Taking a peek from his hiding place, he gritted his teeth in disgust and stomped his feet as if he would shake his goosebumps off. His angry appearance looked extremely interesting.


    Suddenly he heard a light laugh. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Sui HouYu at the door looking at him.


    Hou Mo pointed to the dead mouse and said, ¡°Monitor, I can¡¯t do this job.¡±


    ¡±Oh¡­ So you don¡¯t want to take part in the cleaning?¡±


    ¡±I can do anything else, but this thing¡­. No, I don¡¯t even want to stay in this place.¡±


    Sending him to clean the warehouse on his own was clearly to make trouble.

    ¡±I¡¯m not that desperate.¡± Hou Mo could only walk out of the equipment room and stand in the corridor. After a while, someone came to greet him.


    Hou Mo asked this person to help him remove the dead mouse.


    The person also began to help Hou Mo clean the warehouse.


    Friendship is good.


    Seeing Hou Mo being frightened by the dead mouse calmed Sui HouYu. He no longer cared about the other and walked back to the classroom.


    That night, Sui HouYu and Ran Shu got diarrhea. Su AnYi only felt some discomfort in her stomach. After all, she had eaten less so felt better after taking the medicine.


    Sui HouYu¡¯s condition was more serious because he had eaten a lot.


    *


    During the military training the next day, Sui HouYu¡¯s stomach still wasn¡¯t feeling well and he was uncomfortable.


    But he believed he could hold on for a while.


    Their first task was to fold the quilt, which was relatively easy.


    Ran Shu was definitely in a tragic situation. He was delicate. His quilt had been changed- it was now soft and fluffy and couldn¡¯t be folded at all. He pressed down on the quilt with his own body in anger, but to no avail.


    Later, with the help of Sui HouYu, they placed a book inside the quilt cover to straighten it up a bit.


    The second task was to line up.


    Class 17 had many tall PE students. Sang Xian was 190 cm tall and Hou Mo was 188 cm tall.


    So, Sui HouYu¡¯s height of 183 cm placed him in the third row, while Ran Shu being 178 cm tall was in the middle of the platoon.


    As soon as they were all lined up, Hou Mo suddenly shouted, ¡°Report.¡±


    The instructor stood in front of Hou Mo and said, ¡°Speak.¡±


    ¡±I¡¯m an albino and must not be under the sun.¡±


    The instructor walked closer and observed Hou Mo. He was really white, to the point that it didn¡¯t seem to be a bluff. The instructor took his arm, rolled up his sleeve, and stared at the skin. It was almost seven or eight shades different from the instructor¡¯s arm.


    The instructor looked at Hou Mo¡¯s hair and asked, ¡°Is your hair color natural?¡±


    ¡±Yes, due to my albinism.¡±


    ¡±I¡¯ll check with your adviser, don¡¯t you lie to me!¡±


    ¡±I didn¡¯t lie.¡± Hou Mo replied without changing his expression.


    The instructor believed it and asked Hou Mo to leave before he reorganized the platoon .


    Many sports students watched Hou Mo walk away, their teeth itching with hate.


    What fart albinism! He was just simply pure white!


    The instructor had no time to look for Ou Yang Ge in the morning. Ou Yang Ge was the director of the moral education department and so was busy. Hou Mo would avoid military training at least for the rest of the morning.


    Military training would only be for five days. It was already good enough to avoid one morning.


    Sui HouYu endured for two hours, afterward he couldn¡¯t hold on anymore and reported to the instructor.


    When the instructor came over, he saw that Sui HouYu¡¯s lips had turned pale, he didn¡¯t ask any more questions and asked Sui HouYu to go to the bathroom immediately.


    Normally people can¡¯t handle diarrhea during military training but Sui HouYu had strong willpower and managed to hold on.


    He came out of the bathroom and washed his hands. As he shook the water droplets off his hands, he looked up and saw Hou Mo sitting on a chair in the rest area not too far away; long legs resting on the armrest.


    He was tall and had long legs, taking up space when he sat on a chair.


    Hou Mo was holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand. The water was frozen so he was knocking it onto the armrest of another chair to break the ice so that it would melt faster.


    Noticing that someone was near, Hou Mo looked up at Sui HouYu- smiling, ¡°Did you escape too?¡±


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t reply.


    Hou Mo continued, ¡°Remember to turn off your cell phone. As long as Ge-ge can¡¯t find you, he won¡¯t bother.¡±


    Sui HouYu nodded, then took out his phone from his pocket and held it up. He recorded a short video of Hou Mo and sent it to Ou Yang Ge, typing: The person who pretended to be ill to escape military training is on the first floor of the complex building.


    As the class monitor, he had reluctantly added Ou Yang Ge as a friend, which came in handy this time. Catching undisciplined students was also one of the monitor¡¯s tasks.


    After sending the news, he turned around and walked back towards the military training.


    Hou Mo slowly realized that something was wrong and began to think about where he could escape. Maybe to one of those empty buildings? There seemed to be no monitor there.


    Within half an hour after Sui HouYu had left, Hou Mo was carried back by Ou Yang Ge and was ordered to run ten laps on the playground alone.


    In fact, running ten laps was nothing to the sports students. They ran every day.


    However, it was 11 am when he was dragged back ¨C when the sun was at its hottest. Many platoons hid in the corridor, where connecting ceilings blocked the sun.


    Sui HouYu was in the last column of the platoon. When he turned around and stood in a military posture, it was just in time to see Hou Mo running.


    During his first lap, Hou Mo couldn¡¯t tell who was who. After all, everyone was in uniform.


    It was only on his third lap, when he passed by their platoon, that he raised a middle finger. It was obviously directed towards Sui HouYu.


    Sui HouYu was next to Deng YiHeng, who had a good relationship with Hou Mo. When he saw this, he laughed hard making fart-like noises ¡°pu pu pu¡± and was obviously gloating.


    In the afternoon, Hou Mo came back to attend military training and became the focus of their instructor.


    If others ran one lap, Hou Mo had to run two laps.


    While they were resting, Deng YiHeng sat beside Hou Mo. He saw that Su AnYi had sprayed some sunscreen on Sui HouYu and Ran Shu, and turned into a huge lemon.


    Deng YiHeng sighed deeply, ¡°They have someone who sprays sunscreen.¡±


    Hou Mo lazily replied, ¡°You don¡¯t need to; you have a good foundation.¡±


    ¡±How is my foundation good?¡±


    ¡±There¡¯s nothing more that can be tanned.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    After a while, Deng YiHeng sighed again, ¡°As long as they have sister Su by their side, we will lose completely.¡±


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t understand: ¡°In your heart, are girls so important?¡±


    ¡±Da Shixiong, we are different from you. We like beautiful girls, but we don''t have them around us! They have!¡±


    Hou Mo was sweating; sat in a place practicing ¡°keep it calm and you won¡¯t feel heat¡± while ignoring Deng YiHeng.


    After a while, Deng YiHeng¡¯s body shook in anger: ¡°Da Shixiong! Look, there are beautiful girls looking for Sui HouYu again! Why is he so good with girls? Do girls like boys who are more beautiful than them?¡±


    Hou Mo lazily opened his eyes and took a look, only to see a discordant scene.


    The girl who came over seemed to be concerned about Sui HouYu¡¯s condition, looking gentle and careful.


    Not to mention, the girl was really beautiful and gentle like water, not at all the cold type like  Su AnYi.


    Sui HouYu ignored ¡°Xiao DaiYu¡± and looked away.


    Xiao DaiYu handed Sui HouYu a bottle of water, which was obviously newly bought. The bottle was still covered in mist, and droplets of water dripped down. The water seemed to be half-frozen, which was the state that people undergoing military training preferred.


    In the end, Sui HouYu refused to acknowledge her.


    Ran Shu couldn¡¯t seem to bear it, and reached out for the bottle and placed it on the table next to Sui HouYu.


    But Sui HouYu violently swatted the bottle away, making it fall to the ground and crack open. ¡°Gudong gudong¡± could be heard as the water spilled into the dry ground and spread into the crack of the stone bricks as if ¡°bearing one¡¯s fangs and open one¡¯s claws.¡±


    Xiao DaiYu was obviously startled and looked lost for a while. She looked at Sui HouYu again before quickly running away.


    Deng YiHeng became really angry when he saw this scene. ¡°How can you treat a beautiful girl like this?! Do you know how many people wish for such treatment but can¡¯t have it? At this time, it¡¯s hard to line up to buy water, not to mention iced water! Slag man! Brother is going to teach him how to be a man today.¡±


    Then he began to roll his arms and sleeves.


    ¡±You are not his match.¡± Hou Mo casually said after drinking a mouthful of water.


    Deng YiHeng instantly became honest.


    ¡±Besides, he seems to be someone who doesn¡¯t go too far. Has he targeted you during this time?¡± Hou Mo asked again.


    Deng YiHeng shook his head.


    ¡±So don¡¯t go making any rash judgments. Maybe something happened between them, and Sui HouYu couldn¡¯t forgive that little DaiYu?¡±


    ¡±Xiao DaiYu?¡±


    ¡±Er¡­ That charming Didi.¡±


    At that moment, Sui HouYu picked up the water bottle and threw it in the trash can.


    After that, he didn¡¯t move for a while and seemed to be in a trance.

    In the evening, the tennis coach came looking for his team members.


    This time, the military instructor didn¡¯t want to let anyone go. Ou Yang Ge had to meddle.


    He had been scarred by Hou Mo.


    After learning about what Hou Mo had done, Coach Wang also gave him a scolding.


    Members of the tennis team formed a line and as they were waiting, they saw a group of girls approaching. There were about seven or eight of them.


    After the group of girls lined beside them, they waved to Ran Shu and said, ¡°Ran Shu, Ran Shu! Come here.¡±


    Seeing this scene, Deng YiHeng became unbalanced again and muttered, ¡°Stuttering can also be popular?¡±


    Hou Mo glanced at him and replied coldly, ¡°You can¡¯t even see what people look like.¡±


    Ran Shu was very handsome and had a distinguished figure.


    He had the standard small face with big facial features- big eyes, nose, mouth and protruding ears, but his face was small.


    The combination gave the effect of a filter turned on during a live broadcast, and he looked like that. The small face and the sharp chin would make his mouth look bigger, especially when he smiled.


    Ran Shu¡¯s appearance was like that of the legendary big mouthed internet celebrities. People often disliked his character when they first met him. But after spending some time, they would start liking him.


    There was no need to worry whether Ran Shu was scheming something because he always showed everything.


    Ran Shu went to the girls and asked impatiently, ¡°Why did you call me?¡±


    He didn¡¯t stutter when he spoke short sentences.


    Sui HouYu was also dragged by Ran Shu who stood beside him, but he looked at everyone coldly. The girls were already familiar with it and didn¡¯t care.


    A girl sneakily dragged Ran Shu closer, hid herself behind him, and secretly pointed out, ¡°What¡¯s the name of that boy from your class?¡±


    The girl made sure to move secretly, but Ran Shu sharply turned his head and looked straight at Hou Mo.


    Sui HouYu also looked at Hou Mo.


    The girls panicked for a moment. This was definitely a pig teammate move.


    ¡°Hou ¡°Mo¡±. I don¡¯t know which ¡°Mo¡± specifically, but this is what it sounds like.¡± Ran Shu replied with a huge grin.


    After that reply, he was unhappy. That little white face was really good, military training had just started but a girl had already inquired about him.


    He really wanted to tell the girl about how much of a dog Hou Mo was, but he didn¡¯t know how to say it.


    It seems¡­ not too much.


    The girl asked again, ¡°Do you have his WeChat ID?¡±


    Ran Shu shook his head, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡±What about the class group chat?¡±


    Ran Shu was surprised and asked, ¡°You-you-you have one? It would already be good if none in our class would fight, but to make a group chat?¡±


    ¡°The monitor made it!¡±


    Ran Shu pointed at Sui HouYu, ¡°The monitor is here.¡±


    The girls looked at Sui HouYu at the same time and sighed when they received a cold glance, ¡°We understand that your class won¡¯t be in harmony this semester.¡±


    Ejc Vte ¡°tftf¡±-fv jcv jugffv ab la.

    Vel LbeTe rtbbx tlr tfjv; tf vlvc¡¯a fnfc xcbk atf ues¡¯r cjwf.


    The girl whispered, ¡°He is also very handsome and domineering.¡±


    Ran Shu grinned, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that his face, age and attitude seems like a tyrant.¡±


    The girl asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t Mr. Ba¡¯s face handsome?¡±


    Ran Shu shook his head, ¡°He looks like he¡¯s in his twenties.¡±


    After the girls left, Coach Wang approached Sui HouYu, ¡°Are you from Lantau high? Did you have a tennis team there? Are there any students who are good at tennis?¡±


    Ran Shu was Sui HouYu¡¯s little secretary. Before Sui HouYu could reply, he said, ¡°We-we don¡¯t have one, we just play the usual games like basketball and volleyball during gym class. But he plays well.¡±


    Saying that, he pointed towards Sui HouYu.


    Coach Wang looked at Sui HouYu. His height was actually passable.


    The ideal height for a tennis player would be around 185cm to 190cm, which was usual for  the Grand Slam Winners.


    If you looked at Sui HouYu¡¯s height, it was enough, although he was too thin. He looked weak but he could be trained.


    Coach Wang was a little disappointed having heard this. He planned to ask the PE teacher from Lantau in the next two days.


    At this moment, Ran Shu asked, ¡°Will you be exempted from military training if you play tennis?¡±


    Coach Wang replied, ¡°Well, I will take them away for training.¡±


    Ran Shu hurriedly pushed Sui HouYu and said, ¡°He can and could even beat all your members.¡±


    Coach Wang was happy to hear this. Ou Yang Ge arrived just in time to help Coach Wang take Sui HouYu with him.


    When they left, Deng YiHeng frequently looked back and muttered in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Hou Mo knew what Coach Wang had planned and replied, ¡°Coach Wang wants to recruit people from Lantau.¡±


    ¡±Are we really that short of people? There are a lot of candidates!¡±


    ¡±No, it¡¯s about my and Sang Xian¡¯s partners.¡±


    ¡±You haven¡¯t given up playing doubles?¡±


    After arriving at the tennis court, Sui HouYu was asked to warm up together with the sport students, and he followed behind them.


    Sui HouYu became confused. Why was he here?


    After warming up, Coach Wang handed him a racket and said, ¡°Try playing a game.¡±


    Deng YiHeng was the first to raise his hand to volunteer, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±


    Deng YiHeng always suffered losses at the hands of Sui HouYu,  and always wished to get back at him.


    Deng YiHeng has practiced tennis for many years. How could he be defeated? When he found an opportunity, Deng YiHeng immediately took it.


    After the two went to the court, Deng YiHeng let Sui HouYu serve, which made him seem magnanimous.


    It was known that benefits were for the player who served first. After all, the rhythm of the ball and the game would be defined by that.


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t try to be humble either. He tested the weight of his racket, then turned his body to the side. His posture seemed to be that of a professional.


    Hou Mo sat in the lounge with his legs stretched out, looking at the court lazily.


    His friends around him were betting on how many points Deng YiHeng would win by.


    Hou Mo wanted to laugh. If Sui HouYu really had manic disorder, then even if he was  thin, his physical strength should not be the same as ordinary people ¨C actually it might even be very very excellent.


    Sui HouYu served cleanly, sending the ball straight towards Deng YiHeng. His service was one of the good playstyles.


    Deng YiHeng was an experienced player, he quickly responded. After receiving the ball, Deng YiHeng¡¯s heart suddenly trembled.


    This kind of service he had only experienced from Hou Mo and Sang Xian, and the speed was amazing.


    Strength.


    Speed.


    Combination of the two.


    The record for the fastest tennis serve was 253 kilometers per hour.


    Relatively speaking, in a men¡¯s tennis game, if a player¡¯s serve speed can reach 200 kilometers per hour or more, it was already considered good.


    Sui HouYu¡¯s serve speed was probably around 170 kilometers per hour ¨C just a random serve by an unprofessional player.


    After their match started, the number of hits were quite a lot. Deng YiHeng seemed to be on par with Sui HouYu, but in fact he was losing ground.


    Sui HouYu¡¯s return hits were quite high, and he was accurate and fast.


    His racket followed his thoughts precisely.


    His body had an eerie agility and looked very light.


    Yes, lithe and graceful.


    Maybe it was because he was very thin. His body had no sense of weight and was flexible, he could easily follow the ball¡¯s fast trajectory.


    As if¡­ he was dancing?


    It was a strange scene .


    The evening wind ruffled Sui HouYu¡¯s curly hair ¨C layer after layer, but couldn¡¯t quite mess it up entirely.


    His hair danced with his movements- the shocking volume really made the movements look dynamic. No one knew why he had so much hair.


    His body was so thin and slender that his clothes were getting blown away by the wind with  each movement.


    Hou Mo was looking at Sui HouYu when the hem of his camouflage short sleeved top rode up. Those perfect abdominal muscles and slender waist didn¡¯t really make sense.


    Just like Nezha in ¡°One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes¡±, only he didn¡¯t look as muscular. He was thin yet had muscle, not to mention paired with that face that could overthrow cities and countries.


    Some members of the team gradually began to whisper: ¡°It¡¯s amazing.¡±


    Hou Mo agreed with them, ¡°The way he changes his moves is excellent; Deng YiHeng is getting tricked.¡±


    Coach Wang was happy. He didn¡¯t expect to find good tennis players in Lantau high school.


    The way Sui HouYu returned the last ball was a bit tricky, and it flew beautifully to the sidelines.


    Deng YiHeng watched the ball flash in front of him in amazement. He wasn¡¯t able to return it back in time and lost against Sui HouYu.


    When the game ended, Sui HouYu walked in place to calm himself. He was not feeling tired at all.


    He walked towards Coach Wang and asked, ¡°Is there anyone else that can play?¡±


    When Deng YiHeng came over, he happened to hear this. He held onto one of the team members and cried ¡°ao wu¡±, wailing without tears.


    He could not bear the injustice.


    Deng YiHeng wasn¡¯t good as a solo player. He was better in doubles.


    Their doubles team was their team¡¯s weakness and a pain in Coach Wang¡¯s heart. Deng YiHeng and Shen JunJing''s team was their most powerful.


    At this moment, Hou Mo stood up and said, ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll take a photo.¡±


    After Hou Mo said that, Deng YiHeng stopped crying. When he turned around, there were no tears. He looked at Hou Mo and said, ¡°Da Shixiong, I knew you were the best.¡±


    Everyone thought that as long as Hou Mo fought, there was no competition at all.


    Even Coach Wang said, ¡°Hou Mo, this classmate had just finished a match.¡±


    Hou Mo replied in a low voice, ¡°Hm, I know.¡±


    Sui HouYu looked at them when he heard the coach¡¯s tone. He became unhappy. He frowned slightly and said under his breath, ¡°Don¡¯t go easy on me.¡±


    Then he walked back to the court and waited.


    Hou Mo still had that lazy look, bored expression, as if he couldn¡¯t raise his spirits for anything.


    After he took his racket, he did a few simple stretches before following to the court. He also  let Sui HouYu serve first.


    Hou Mo started playing tennis because he had the proper physical condition for it and was good at strategizing.


    There was a huge space to simulate in his head, one that could immediately calculate the ball¡¯s trajectory the moment it was stroked. It was based on those calculations that he planned  his moves.


    His calculations were only for a split second, and then he would get into action.


    His playing style could be summed up as: Deception.


    For example, after a few returns, Hou Mo¡¯s body moved, but suddenly he struck the ball without much strength.


    Sui HouYu was surprised for a moment, he hurried to the net to catch the ball but it had already fallen to the ground.


    Hou Mo has long been used to this kind of play, but he was shocked for a moment when he saw the opposite side.


    Sui HouYu ran too fast and couldn¡¯t stabilize his body in time, as a result his feet slipped into a split ¨C the kind that was absolutely straight.


    Sui HouYu quickly stood up and patted the dust off his pants. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with him.


    Hou Mo hesitatingly asked, ¡°Splitting like that, would the eggs remain unharmed?¡±


    Sui HouYu turned back and stared at him instantly.

 CH 8

    Edited by Vai


    After Huo Mo asked the question, everyone who had been watching the game laughed out loud.


    Sang Xian was someone who always looked like he couldn¡¯t wake up, but unexpectedly stood up in laughter after hearing that.


    Sui HouYu looked at all the people laughing in annoyance. If they didn¡¯t stop anytime soon, he would start a fight.


    Coach Wang immediately scolded, ¡°Hou Mo, stop talking nonsense and focus on the game.¡±


    Hou Mo returned to his position.


    The match between Sui HouYu and Deng YiHeng could be considered as a normal game.


    When it came to Sui HouYu¡¯s and Hou Mo¡¯s, the genre seemed to have changed, it was as if they were flirting. Hou Mo was teasing the opponent as a way of competition.


    Hou Mo usually didn¡¯t play like this during official matches, but today he seemed to be deliberately teasing the other.


    Sure enough, the more Sui HouYu slapped, the smellier he became. He felt ashamed after being teased.


    Hou Mo¡¯s ability to control the ball was very good. After a few back and forth, the speed and trajectory of the ball were under Hou Mo¡¯s control. It was useless even if Sui HouYu did the serve.


    Playing against Hou Mo gave one an unusual feeling, and made people uncomfortable.


    For example, Hou Mo¡¯s counterattack this time was to get the ball up, slow down its speed, and then hit back.


    During their match, Sui HouYu sensed his loss. The other person didn¡¯t seem to think of him as competition, otherwise how could he be relaxed enough to tease?


    After all, Hou Mo had been trained for tennis professionally and had participated in small and big competitions. He had a lot of practical experience. His opponents had been more professional than Sui HouYu, so the other was no match for him.


    Sui HouYu played well, but he hadn¡¯t gone under any training. He merely learned it during gym class and played to just pass time.


    Among amateur players, Sui HouYu¡¯s skills can definitely be regarded as very good.


    But against professional players, he was not even close.


    Hou Mo had good reflexes, and he calculated fast. A 3D image of the whole place had formed in his head, and he could use it to his advantage.


    He could see through Sui HouYu¡¯s every move, and not one of his predictions was wrong.


    He made a topspin lob then a backspin; Sui HouYu wasn¡¯t able to catch it and the game ended.


    Hou Mo won.


    The other players started cheering, but they did not get carried away. Obviously, they knew Hou Mo would win.


    They felt that Hou Mo had taken the other down a notch and were relieved.


    Sui HouYu was not convinced, and holding onto his rocket approached the leaving Hou Mo. ¡°One more time.¡±


    Hou Mo looked at him, then with his chin raised slightly, smiled and said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    His tone was flippant, even a little coquettish, but that expression did not make his smile look greasy, instead he looked very handsome.


    The two men started another match.


    Coach Wang did not allow the others to watch. He arranged some training for them while he continued to watch Sui HouYu play.


    As he had observed during the two games, he noticed some of Sui HouYu¡¯s problems, and suddenly advised, ¡°Give up the curve ball temporarily, your friction is not right, and playing like that isn¡¯t good for you.¡±


    Sui HouYu knew that Coach Wang was instructing him, so he listened.


    As long as he can win.


    Curved ball was Sui HouYu¡¯s weakness, he liked to play in that style but couldn¡¯t control the ball comfortably.


    This kind of playstyle wasn¡¯t good for him, so better abandon it and shift to another.


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t mind Coach Wang guiding Sui HouYu in the middle of their match, he could still strike the ball opposite to Sui HouYu¡¯s prediction.


    If it was an ordinary person, there was no other way to turn the situation around.


    However, Sui HouYu¡¯s flexibility and adaptability was at an unbelievable level. He turned around quickly and blocked the ball with his racket before going back to position.


    Hou Mo¡¯s unperturbed expression cracked, and he looked surprised for a moment.


    Sui HouYu just followed his intuition. He was wild, making people confused, but he could sense where the ball was. Even if his prediction was wrong, he could block it.


    What the hell did this kid do? Why is his body so flexible?


    Even if he was taken by surprise, Sui HouYu still lost against Hou Mo.


    He lost again.


    Sui HouYu felt wronged and asked angrily again, ¡°Another one!¡±


    His tone was really fierce.


    Really stubborn. It was obvious he wouldn¡¯t admit defeat.


    Hou Mo was also excited, and complied for a third match.


    Tennis requires a lot of physical effort. During a match of 3 sets, one needs to win two sets and in a match of 5 sets, one needs to win three sets to win the game. Thus the game consumes a lot of energy and sometimes it turns into a battle of attrition.


    Therefore, tennis players have strict physical requirements. Hou Mo and Sang Xian have the best physical condition out of everyone in their team.


    An amateur player like Sui HouYu, although thin, was still doing his best after previous  matches, as if he never got tired.


    Coach Wang looked at Sui HouYu and was so excited that he had only one thought in his heart: this player must win.

    ¡±Off duty?¡±


    ¡±Yes, time is up.¡± After Hou Mo finished speaking, he ignored Sui HouYu and walked directly to the lounge to get his things.


    Deng YiHeng had been secretly watching their match. When he saw Hou Mo win the matches, he felt like his face had been restored. He approached Sui HouYu and explained, ¡°For Hou Mo, playing tennis is like doing an errand.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Sui HouYu asked Deng YiHeng, looking gloomy while still holding his racket.


    ¡°Our school¡¯s sports students are exempted from tuition fees, otherwise Da Shixiong would not join. In addition, our school¡¯s tennis team is strong ¨C we have brand sponsorship that provides us with free clothing and shoes. He only went to participate in competitions so he could get a bonus. In the past, the national team took an interest in him, but he rejected it. That¡¯s just how he is. He wouldn¡¯t even make any effort to do well on the exam because there was nothing to gain, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be in Class 17.


    Sui HouYu stopped arguing. He put down the racket and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Coach Wang. ¡°What¡¯s your name? Do you want to join the tennis team?¡±


    Sui HouYu was not interested and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡±


    ¡±Don¡¯t you want to try to surpass him?¡± Coach Wang said, pointing to Hou Mo who had just walked out from the lounge.


    Sui HouYu looked at Hou Mo.


    Hou Mo was wiping his sweat with a towel, and didn¡¯t panic over the attention. He walked  over to them and said, ¡°He still doesn¡¯t have the fire. It¡¯ll be hard to defeat me.¡±


    Sui HouYu watched Hou Mo walk past him, lips pursed tightly.


    Coach Wang watched Hou Mo leave, then turned back to Sui HouYu, smiling, ¡°How is it? Want to practice?¡±


    Deng YiHeng glanced at him, then complained to Sang Xian, ¡°Coach Wang is only kind and benevolent when digging pits for white rabbits.¡±


    Sang Xian picked up his bag and replied, ¡°He is intelligent, so Coach Wang won¡¯t give up so easily.¡±


    Sui HouYu seemed a little shaken and said, ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡±


    Coach Wang smiled more kindly: ¡°Okay, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Sui HouYu.¡±


    When Ran Shu came over, Sui HouYu was already walking angrily.


    Ran Shu frequently looked behind while following Sui HouYu to his dorm room. He didn¡¯t dare to ask anything.


    In his dorm room, the atmosphere around Sui HouYu was very low.


    The roommate also realized this and didn¡¯t dare to breathe after entering the room.


    Ran Shu didn¡¯t ask anything, instead he took a woven bag of an unknown person and spread it on the ground.


    He took the quilt out and sprinkled some water on it, patted the edges and corners and then folded it.


    This way, tomorrow morning he would put the quilt in the cabinet without much difficulty.


    Sui HouYu was still thinking about the tennis match. He had lost three games in a row, which made him very disappointed.


    He had previously represented institutions in dance competitions and had won professional contests. Tennis was indeed not his main practice, yet losing made him very upset.


    Just when he was anxious, he heard the sound of ¡°Pa Pa Pa¡±, so he turned and saw Ran Shu patting the quilt like he was building a wall, and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°This may be the loudest Pa Pa sound in your life.¡±


    Ran Shu squatted beside the quilt and thought for a while, then complained, ¡°Why-why-why would you say that?¡±


    Sui HouYu finally laughed.


    He would be like this in front of Ran Shu.


    Only a few people were close friends with Sui HouYu. In their dorm room, everyone except Ran Shu were normal friends.


    They weren¡¯t close, but if Sui HouYu needed help, they would be there.


    They were willing to listen to Sui HouYu, but the relationship¡­ still wouldn¡¯t be considered as close.


    Honestly, Ran Shu and Sui HouYu have been together since their childhood so they were closer than normal.


    Ran Shu knew Sui HouYu had another childhood friend, and he was more attached to that person, but Ran Shu had never met them.


    However, Ran Shu had heard that that child was a foreigner. Now that one of them has returned to China, they have lost contact due to the distance.


    Now, Ran Shu was the only one in Sui HouYu¡¯s life.


    *


    The fourth day of the military training wasn¡¯t as strict as before. In the evening, students began to sing together, and Second year¡¯s class 17 became everyone¡¯s target.


    For one, it was because Hou Mo was a popular sports student, and because Ran Shu was also popular.


    In addition the class was full of good looking students, and just in a few days they had become famous throughout the school .


    Sometimes when they would walk past a class, and if that class happened to be resting, they would hear whispers, ¡°Class 17! It¡¯s class 17!¡±


    ¡±Hou Mo¡¯s class?¡±


    ¡±That¡¯s Sui HouYu, right?¡±


    ¡±Ran Shu¡¯s face is so small.¡±


    ¡°Sang Xian is still the same.¡±


    The instructors of class 17 had always been impressive, and the songs they taught to students were very bold ¨C like ¡°The Sword Match¡±, which had been sung by class 17 with such power.


    The students who heard this song for the past two days were now sick of it.


    Today there were six classes sitting together, while the other classes were sitting not too far, watching and booing.


    The other classes seemed to be united and began to call a person¡¯s name: ¡°Go Ran Shu! Go Ran Shu!¡±


    There were also words like: ¡°How bashful, like a young woman.¡±


    Ran Shu leaned towards Sui HouYu and complained, ¡°Just-just these words, I¡¯ve already heard it back in junior high school, really unoriginal.¡±


    Then he stood up and walked towards the center. He had never suffered from stage fright.


    Someone brought speakers, but the sound quality wasn¡¯t good especially when the volume was turned to the maximum, it sounded like someone dying.


    But in the current situation, this kind of speaker was already good enough .


    Ran Shu walked over and said, ¡°Play-play something man-manly.¡±


    Ran Shu had been learning dancing since he was young, and once participated in a youth dance competition. He came third in the competition, proving his skills.


    He could dance to any music that he is familiar with. After all one can free style on any music, except for those music with a specific choreography. When you watch a lot of choreographies, you can easily learn new moves.


    Ran Shu let them choose, and he would just dance to the tune.


    After dancing for years, he could more or less do an impromptu.


    The DJ gestured ¡°OK¡± then played a song from a girl group.


    Ran Shu was fuming with anger. He turned around and walked towards class 17.


    The crowd thought that Ran Shu was going back, so they all coaxed him, but after a while they saw him pull Sui HouYu to join him.


    Sui HouYu was unwilling when he was being dragged; he sat back down. But in the end Ran Shu won by dragging Sui HouYu by his waist.


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t like being touched by others, even by Ran Shu. He pushed Ran Shu away and followed him to the center of the stage to save him from further embarrassment.


    If Sui Hou Yu was serious, Ran Shu would not be an opponent at all.


    However, the way they got along was by Ran Shu making trouble and Sui HouYu laughing at his antics. Sui HouYu was already used to Ran Shu acting like this.


    In the end the two of them stood in the center, attracting a group of girls to scream.


    Those who were familiar with Sui HouYu knew his attitude, and didn¡¯t dare force him. But Ran Shu had dragged him, so of course they were excited, and the screams became quite a sensation.


    The interim DJ was good at grasping opportunities, so when the two stood up, the music began to play again.


    When the music started, Ran Shu started jumping to the beats. He was thin but he had strength, form and a good sense of balance; his movements were well coordinated.


    Sui HouYu was still somewhat embarrassed, but after a while, he too started dancing.


    As soon as he moved, the girls started screaming in excitement again.


    Girls nowadays admire beyond gender. They like good-looking boys and girls.


    They particularly like Sui HouYu¡¯s androgynous looks.


    They danced to a girl group¡¯s song. The dance contained twisting the hips into different ways and angles, so it was inevitable that there would be some feminine moves.


    However, boys who knew how to dance could turn something sexy into something casual, while at the same time make the change look natural instead of out of place.


    While the two of them were dancing, a group of girls from another class suddenly went towards class 17 and approached Hou Mo, ¡°Hou Mo!¡±


    Hou Mo looked back and saw they were the girls who chatted with Ran Shu and Sui HouYu before, but he didn¡¯t know them.


    He asked them, ¡°What?¡±


    ¡±Can you tell me your WeChat ID? My friend wants it, beauty.¡±


    Hou Mo calmly looked at the group of girls and smiled, asking, ¡°Do you like boys like me?¡±


    ¡±Yes!¡±


    ¡±Coincidentally, I also like boys like me.¡±


    ¡±No need to give it to us! This line is so vulgar.¡±


    Hou Mo smiled and chatted with those girls, asking them, ¡°You know Sui HouYu very well?¡±


    A girl nodded, ¡°I used to be in the same class as him.¡±


    ¡°What exactly did Sui HouYu study that he can do pretty much anything?¡±


    He can fight, play tennis, and now dance hip-hop.


    The girl squatted down next to Hou Mo, arms hugging her knees, and introduced Sui HouYu, ¡°Yu-ge is an incredibly magical person. We don¡¯t know what exactly he could do, but it seems that he can do anything.¡±


    ¡°Natural gift?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± The girl sighed. ¡°Yu-ge has been a VIP customer of some training institute since he was a child. How important he was is uncertain but he gets picked up by the teachers at the institute when school ends.¡±


    Hou Mo ¡°Oh¡±-ed and thought, did he learn all that from the institute?


    The girl continued, ¡°Since he was intelligent, he spent weekends, evenings after school, winter and summer vacations at the institute where he learned everything they had to offer. Special arrangements of one-on-one classes in the evenings were made by the teachers for him, and they usually lasted until 1 am.¡±


    ¡±What¡¯s the reason why the classes end so late?¡±


    ¡°Yu-ge¡¯s condition is special. He couldn¡¯t sleep and would cause trouble when he was idle, so they let him attend all these classes so he didn¡¯t have any free time.¡±


    Hou Mo was convinced Sui HouYu had a manic disorder.


    The symptoms were basically the same.


    But Hou Mo became a little puzzled and asked, ¡°No, where were his parents?¡±


    ¡°His condition was caused by his parents. Shortly after he was born, his parents divorced. He has never been coaxed to sleep and only after exhausting himself from crying would he be able to. When he grew up, he turned abnormal and was even more despised by his parents. Now, both of them are married to different people and care for him even less, merely giving him money and throwing him to the institution to live or die on his own.¡±


    Hou Mo went silent after hearing that. A moment later, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, ¡°You know a lot.¡±


    ¡°Handsome people have always been popular. If people know something, it¡¯s inevitable for them to group together and gossip. Besides, Ran Shu and Sui HouYu have been close since they were young, and Ran Shu mentioned that they studied hip-hop together.¡±


    ¡±Oh¡­¡±


    After the girl finished talking, she suddenly got angry, ¡°I¡¯ve already said so much, and you still won¡¯t give me your WeChat ID?¡±


    Hou Mo asked her in a whisper, ¡°Do you want Sang Xian¡¯s?¡±


    The girl got excited, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Hou Mo unceremoniously sent Sang Xian¡¯s WeChat ID to the girl, and other girls around him also got excited.


    After all the girls left, Hou Mo turned to Deng YiHeng and asked, ¡°You usually talk about girls and yet when they approach, you become silent.¡±


    Deng YiHeng looked at the figures of the girls who left and sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, I get nervous when I see too many girls.¡±


    ¡±Really promising.¡±


    At this moment, the open space in the center suddenly became more lively, because students from other classes came to dance. They were from FengHua, and Hou Mo knew those boys.


    It would seem that they did not like the boys from Lantau high getting the spotlight so they came to steal the show.


    Deng YiHeng stared at the situation for a while before commenting, ¡°Although I want to cover up for them, I have to admit that our class¡¯ two leaders are good at dancing, and seem to be professionals. Those three boys just roll around the ground and rely on somersaults.¡±


    Hou Mo smiled in reply, ¡°That can also be considered as a bog move in hip-hop.¡±


    ¡°I have a hunch that they will be slapped in the face. I have fought against that boy several times. He usually behaves properly in public, but is secretly a petty person.¡± Deng YiHeng suddenly became someone who knew Sui HouYu the best.


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t reply and continued to watch the show with interest.


    At this moment, Sui HouYu asked the DJ to play an ancient song instead of an intense one.


    Then he walked to the center and waited for the beat to start before dancing. The soothing movements did not look as handsome as hip-hop, but they were merry and lively.


    This kind of dance unexpectedly looked carefree.


    Chinese dance.


    Without being drilled by the basics since childhood, it would be difficult to dance this style.


    Following the music, Sui HouYu lifted one of his legs, causing a burst of exclamations.


    His legs were like a pendulum. After gently swinging into a circle, they lightly fell before raising up and then falling down again. There was strength in each movement, and Sui HouYu perfectly controlled it.


    Lightly, like a flying butterfly.


    This ability to control and coordinate the body was amazing.


    No wonder Sui HouYu¡¯s body was so flexible and light. Turns out, he had practiced dancing.


    After that, Sui HouYu copied what the boys had done earlier and made a hand spin, but his version was slower. His body looked boneless and soft, and he turned with ease.


    In fact, if your body was flexible and you relied on inertia, you can do a hand spin easily. Enough practice was all it took.


    But the way Sui HouYu did it was with skill.


    If you still challenge Sui HouYu at this moment, you would only break your thighs trying to follow him. In the next moment, Sui HouYu changed his style and copied the moves of the Feng Hua boys and his moves looked better than theirs, like a professional choreographer.


    Sui HouYu only needed to see their moves once and could easily copy it. He even performed better than them.


    Don¡¯t try to force him, or you won¡¯t be able to get off the stage easily.


    Ran Shu was happy after seeing this, and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s so embarrassing!¡±


    The boys went down in disgrace.


    Ran Shu and Sui HouYu went down together, laughing and stammering along the way.


    The author has something to say:


    I¡¯ve worked hard to watch and study the game. But occasionally there may be gaps in professional knowledge.

    After their five-day military training ended, classes began for the second years while the first years still had ten more days left of their military training.


    Second year class 17 seemed to have their own routine. For them it was to sleep, play, and play more and their books seemed to be still brand new.


    The biggest conflict nowadays was the dormitory arrangement.


    The students of Lantau high gradually realized that they were given rooms on the worst dormitory floors. After inquiring about it, they found out that after the students of Fenghua High had learned about the merger, they had moved into the dormitories the same day the third years had moved out.


    Or in other words, the students themselves had taken the initiative to occupy the good floors.


    Merging two schools was like having two children, everything has to be fair to both.


    During the military training, the Lantau high students had to climb to the fifth or sixth floor to rest. They gradually couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and complained to their teachers.


    However, the teachers always said they would look into the matter but nothing had happened.


    After the Fanghua students found out about it, they became naughty and mischievous. They took the initiative to provoke by saying that they were wasting their efforts. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with running up a few more floors? Just think of it as exercise. We also sacrificed ourselves and gave you the opportunity to exercise.¡±


    The students of Lantau high became upset and wanted to do something.


    On Thursday, the items ordered by the boys of Lantau high arrived.


    After the doors to their dormitory were closed, they carried the boxes to their rooms to unpack. Ran Shu picked up a black water gun from the box and handed it to Sui HouYu, ¡°This-this is handsome.¡±


    Sui HouYu took it and felt the weight in his hands. It was quite heavy, and would undoubtedly become heavier once filled with water.


    While he was looking at his water gun, he noticed something on Ran Shu¡¯s back. There was a rabbit shaped container which had a white body and a small pink skirt. The container had a tube coming out of it which got connected to a gun.


    So can you handle this?


    Sui HouYu told Ran Shu, ¡°It¡¯s quite girlish¡­¡±


    Ran Shu was still studying how to fasten the water tank, and replied casually, ¡°It will-will only be used once.¡±


    Sui HouYu wore a cap, a mask, and night vision goggles. Just in case, he also changed into a hoodie sweater and pulled the hoodie up and tied the string at the base of the neck to be fully covered.


    Sui HouYu really had no choice but to take the job.


    Sui HouYu told the boys, ¡°Only target the people, not their valuables and bed, or else they wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep.¡±


    Ran Shu did not agree, ¡°No-no-no, why would you let them sleep? Couldn¡¯t they still sleep soundly on the floor? Don¡¯t you think what they did was immoral?¡±


    Sui HouYu replied, ¡°This time would merely be a warning. If we don¡¯t achieve our goal, then we will take drastic measures.¡±


    Ran Shu asked again, ¡°Then-then what if a fight broke out?¡±


    Sui HouYu¡¯s voice was calm as he replied, ¡°As much as possible don¡¯t let yourself get carried away by their provocations, or else we¡¯ll suffer losses.¡±


    After making plans, they went for the action. The first group went to the third floor.


    Most of the students there were still awake. Some were playing games in their rooms, some were chatting in the corridor, while others were washing up.


    About 50 people from Lantau high school began to attack when they reached their destination. They were organized and disciplined. They attacked everyone they saw.


    Then they kicked open the bedroom doors, sprayed water on the faces of the people inside before running away.


    Gradually, curses could be heard from the third floor.


    Someone who had a lot of courage rushed directly into the corridor, but saw that there were more than 30 people loitering around. In the space of a moment, sprayed all of them and quickly ran back amidst all the litany of curses he received.


    Sui HouYu kicked open the door to Hou Mo¡¯s room. Hou Mo had just finished washing his sports wear and was about to hang it on the balcony. Hou Mo was in the middle of lowering his sleeves after he had taken his clothes from the basin and had shaken them.


    Sui HouYu held a water gun and looked at Hou Mo. He hesitated for a moment before spraying water on the other¡¯s body.


    Hou Mo was so surprised by the attack that he subconsciously threw his laundry on the bed and walked towards Sui HouYu.


    Hou Mo chased after him. While running he too stepped in a puddle, which made his shoes let out squeaks every time it hit the floor.


    He finally managed to grab a corner of Sui HouYu¡¯s clothes and pulled the other towards him. When Sui HouYu crashed into his body, Hou Mo trapped him by wrapping his arms around the other¡¯s waist and rubbed his wet body to Sui HuoYu¡¯s. ¡°You guys really did some damage. How is the water, is it cold?¡±


    The moment Sui HouYu was caught,  his body stiffened. He looked at the strong arms holding his body. He couldn¡¯t help feeling disgusted and began to struggle violently.


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t let him go at all. Instead, he held him harder.


    In their struggle, Sui HouYu squatted down and Huo Mo held him from back. Huo Mo changed his grip and got Sui HouYu¡¯s calves making him a ball in his arms.


    It was possible because Sui HouYui was thin and soft. If it had been another person, then they wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it.


    After being restrained in this posture, it was difficult for Sui HouYu to wriggle out.


    It was an unfortunate situation where the thief was captured before the king!


    While Sui HouYu was under Hou Mo¡¯s control, the students from Lantau high stopped running and looked back at the stairway where Sui HouYu was.


    FengHua¡¯s students had also gathered there. Deng YiHeng and Sang Xian stood beside Hou Mo as if they were ready for a fight.


    Hou Mo tried to assert dominance over Sui HouYu and asked, ¡°What have they done?¡±


    Hou Mo looked at Sui HouYu, who was still under his hold. The hoodie had fallen off, and only the cap, the mask, and the night vision goggles remained on his head.


    However, he could see from what was illuminated by the light from the corridor that Sui HouYu¡¯s neck and ears were red. At that moment, the other was still struggling hard, so he didn¡¯t dare let go.


    Deng YiHeng stood beside him and said, ¡°He really doesn¡¯t seem to want to get close to others, especially turtle Mo.¡±


    Sang Xian lazily took out his phone from his pocket to look up something.


    Hou Mo looked at Sang Xian and asked, ¡°Are you still in the mood to play on your phone?¡±


    Sang Xian replied, ¡°No, I¡¯m just noting your death anniversary.¡±


    Deng YiHeng was also inspired. He took out his phone, looked at it and said, ¡°Da Shixiong, as long as you hold on for another hour and a half, you can live for another day.¡±


    Sui HouYu became stimulated by these people¡¯s words and began to struggle violently again.


    Hou Mo was about to lose control and cocked his chin towards Deng YiHeng. Deng YiHeng immediately understood, so he pushed the crowd and made a path for them to go to their rooms.


    Hou Mo took a look, then let go of Sui HouYu and ran towards his dorm room, like a wild dog off the reins.


    After entering, he locked the door and didn¡¯t open it for anyone. Sang Xian was locked out of the room.


    Sui HouYu just stared at the path he had taken, teeth itching in anger. Finally, he picked up his water gun from the ground and told the Lantau students, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Ran Shu followed Sui HouYu upstairs.


    After he left, Hou Mo opened the door for Sang Xian and made sure that Sui HouYu couldn¡¯t get in. Several FengHua students came inside too.


    Hou Mo¡¯s cowardice disappeared in an instant, and he asked his roommates with his head held high,  ¡°Why should I run?! Ah? Am I afraid that he will do something? They came first to look for trouble!¡±

    Since Sui HouYu had become the class monitor, he almost never fulfilled any of his responsibilities. This almost made the students from class 17 forget that there were even officers in their class.


    They didn¡¯t know what happened that day, but Sui HouYu suddenly started acting like a proper class monitor.


    The most hateful thing was that even though he targeted Hou Mo alone, still other people got implicated.


    After taking his seat, Sui HouYu took out the homework from his bag and placed it on the table. He turned to Hou Mo sitting across from him and asked, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the study committee collect homework?¡±


    Hou Mo hadn¡¯t done his own homework. The question embarrassed him, and he cleared his throat to hide it and said, ¡°Everyone, remember to hand in your homework to me after this morning¡¯s self study.¡±


    After Hou Mo said that, the students in the entire classroom collapsed, ¡°Oh my God, what¡¯s the homework?!¡±


    ¡±What?! Homework?¡±


    The classroom fell into chaos. Deng YiHeng returned to his seat with a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth. After digging inside his school bag for a long time, he stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to buy a notebook.¡±


    He took a few steps, then turned around and asked Hou Mo, ¡°Da Shixiong, how many subjects do we have?¡±


    As soon as Deng YiHeng asked this, a group of people requested Deng YiHeng to buy for them as well, but Deng YiHeng simply ignored them, ¡°I¡¯ll just buy a bunch and come back.¡±


    After that, he left.


    Huo Mo sat in his seat properly and did his homework diligently. He had a bun in his mouth when he turned toward Sui HouYu.


    He simply observed all of Sui HouYu.


    Sui HouYu was in his chair and seemed to be appreciating his homework. His head rested on a hand propped on the table, pushing his cheeks up and making him look incredibly cute.


    This guy was really¡­ always making things difficult for him.


    Is it the thief who catches the king first?


    The hell-like morning reading began. Many people were absent-mindlessly reading aloud, but their voices were weak and even a little slow. If one didn¡¯t listen carefully, one would think the whole class was chanting instead of reading.


    Everyone was struggling to do their homework and were really working hard.


    When everyone finally finished their homework, it was handed to Hou Mo. Hou Mo took the pile to the faculty room. Because there was no class representative in the beginning of the school year, he could only ask for the sports students¡¯ help. [idk who the he is talked about here]


    After Hou Mo returned to the classroom, he yawned and lay on the table to sleep.


    When Hou Mo plastered himself on the table, Sui HouYu noticed it.


    Sui HouYu waited for Hou Mo to gradually fall  asleep, before taking out a small water gun from his bag and spraying it on his face.


    Hou Mo felt something cold hit his cheeks and wiped it with his hands. It felt like someone spit on his face.


    He groggily sat up straight.


    Then he turned and looked at Sui HouYu, who mouthed at him, ¡°Don¡¯t sleep.¡±


    Hou Mo stared at Sui HouYu for a long time, before looking at the other sleeping students in the class. Then he heaved a long sigh, rubbed his face with his hands, and continued to study seriously.


    A wise man knows when to retreat.


    It was said that the first to flirt was cheap.


    Obviously it had been Sui HouYu and the others who made trouble first, and he merely had captured him.


    It couldn¡¯t even be called a defeat, more like a temporary constraint. How could there be any justification for Sui HouYu to retaliate against him? How could Sui HouYu constantly brood about it?


    This man was unreasonable and unethical.

    The regulations of their school were indeed a little off.


    Ran Shu said he needed to visit Sui HouYu¡¯s house to take a look. Sui HouYu knew this young master would immediately find faults as soon as he entered the door, hence he impatiently refused.


    When he walked out of the school with a bag on his back, he saw a bunch of cars near the school gates. There was no taxi, and none of his family came to pick him up.


    Deng YiHeng suddenly looked out from a van and shouted at Sui HouYu, ¡°Monitor, carpool?¡±


    Deng YiHeng still remembered that Sui HouYu lived very close to them, and greeted him warmly.


    When Sui HouYu looked over, he saw Hou Mo was also sitting in the van, a bottle of mineral water in hand. When he took a drink, his Adam¡¯s apple moved up and down sexually.


    Sui HouYu walked closer and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t I get a taxi here?¡±


    ¡±Not likely! You wouldn¡¯t be able to get a car from the Didi app, because all their registered ones are right here. Come on, we are familiar with the driver. It will cost only 8 yuan for him to send us home, while others will ask for 10 yuan ¨C  not to mention the black cars cost 15 yuan.¡°


    Sui HouYu thought about it and got into the car. He didn¡¯t know what Deng YiHeng was thinking, but he made space for Sui HouYu and moved to the back.


    Sui HouYu turned around and saw there was no more space in there, he could only sit beside Hou Mo.


    Hou Mo ignored him and sat on his seat with his bag in his lap.


    After a while, Sui HouYu understood why Deng YiHeng was so eager to invite him. It was because the driver would not leave until all seats were occupied.


    It seemed like someone noticed that both Sui HouYu and Hou Mo were in the car; a moment later, three little girls entered. Two of them crowded next to Sui HouYu while the third sat in the front seat.


    Sui HouYu was a little surprised. Wasn¡¯t this overloaded?


    He was uncomfortable, though he could see that Deng YiHeng had it worse than him ¨C if Deng YiHeng knew that girls would ride with them, he wouldn¡¯t have changed seats with Sui HouYu.


    Once the van started, after a while the driver turned towards an underdeveloped road. The van was ¡°flying up¡± and ¡°falling down¡± all the way.


    Sui HouYu turned around looking for a seat belt, but couldn¡¯t find any. Not only that, but the seats were shaking along to the rhythm.


    Hou Mo noticed his movements and told Sui HouYu, ¡°There¡¯s no seat belt. If you are having troubles, you can hold onto me.¡±


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t touch him, and instead raised a hand to the roof the whole time.


    The girl sitting next to Sui HouYu always leaned on him, and it seemed to be deliberate. Hou Mo noticed it from his side.


    The van jolted particularly hard this time, when they drove through a particularly deep pothole on the road. Sui HouYu had nothing to hold, so he fell on Huo Mo, who caught him with one hand.


    Then, Hou Mo stretched out his hand from behind Sui HouYu. It seemed like he was supporting the girl next to him but actually he pushed her away. He smiled and asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    The girl who was pushed away got confused at first, but replied embarrassingly, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    By then Sui HouYu had regained his balance. He looked around and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get down.¡± He hadn¡¯t noticed this at first, and had thought it was only because it was crowded inside the van.


    The problem with Sui HouYu was that he generally didn¡¯t take notice of the opposite sex. If there were girls around him, he would simply ignore them. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t notice.


    After he got out of the van, other people also left.


    One by one they all walked away until only Sui HouYu and Hou Mo were left.


    Hou Mo walked behind Sui HouYu and raised an eyebrow when he noticed the other seemed to be walking with the wind.


    His gaze was fixed on Sui HouYu¡¯s hair. They were curled in an interesting way ¨C tilted towards the tip of his ears, showing his white skin.


    It was not until Sui HouYu turned at a corner that Hou Mo chased after him. He stretched out his hand to pull the other back and said, ¡°Wrong way, it¡¯s this building.¡±


    Saying that, he pointed.


    After Sui HouYu took a look, he reached out and swatted Hou Mo¡¯s hand, ¡°Oh, thanks.¡±


    Hou Mo shook his hand and complained, ¡°You really don¡¯t have any faith.¡±


    Then he turned and walked towards the other side.


    Sui Hou Yu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Isn¡¯t that over there?¡±


    ¡±I¡¯ll go grocery shopping.¡±


    *


    At 10:30 on Saturday morning, the doorbell rang at Sui HouYu¡¯s house.


    Sui HouYu knew the cleaning service had arrived. He ignored it and continued to read inside his bedroom.


    All the cleaners had the password to each apartment. After waiting for a while, the cleaner opened the door and came in with a bamboo basket in hand, which was filled with sheets, towels and other items.


    When he came in, he put on his shoe cover and spoke to the room. ¡°Hello! The towels have been changed for you. The new ones have just been washed and sterilized at high temperatures, so you can use them with confidence.¡±


    Hou Mo took the towel replacements and went inside the bathroom to change the toiletries. He threw out all the used ones and changed it with the ones he brought.


    Then he went to the sink to check if he needed to refill the hand soap or not.


    It was known that this resident didn¡¯t stay often and it was obvious from the overall usage.


    The bathroom would have been used only a few times, so the toilet paper didn¡¯t need to be replaced. He could only help clean the bathroom floor.


    In the middle of his cleaning, he saw a pair of slippers approaching him ¨C stopping at the door as the owner seemed to be looking at him.


    He raised his head to explain, ¡°I¡¯ll clean up this weekend¡­¡±


    The pair of slippers belonged to Sui HouYu.


    Sui HouYu was chewing bubble gum; he blew a bubble and popped it.


    He looked domineering, and seemed like he thought Huo Mo¡¯s presence here was very interesting; his eyes had lit up with mischief.


    Hou Mo hesitated for a moment, then continued to clean up, and explained to Sui HouYu, ¡°My mother is not in good health, I help with her work on weekends.¡±


    In fact, there were many apartments in this building that the owners put up for rent due to the developing tourism in the area.


    The main reason was that many of the residents here were relocated. There were a lot of apartments and they got rented out when empty. Later, they heard that with some decoration, it could pass as a B&B, and the income was thrice that of a regular room, so a lot of people began doing that.


    However, those B&B¡¯s would all be cleaned by the apartment¡¯s owner ¨C like the three rooms Mother Huo cleaned. Mother Huo was hired because the land owner was too lazy and only liked to play mahjong all day.


    In fact, Hou Mo already had a feeling when he saw Sui HouYu in this building.


    He didn¡¯t expect such a coincidence.


    ¡±Oh¨C¡± Sui HouYu replied in an elongated tone.


    Hou Mo put aside his embarrassment and chatted with Sui HouYu, ¡°Would you be staying here for a long time?¡±


    ¡±Well, it¡¯s been booked for half a year.¡±


    ¡±So, is there any problem in the bathroom?¡±


    ¡±The shower doesn¡¯t work well.¡±


    ¡±Okay, let me have a look.¡± Hou Mo rolled up his sleeves to check .


    The shower head was one piece that couldn¡¯t be removed.


    Hou Mo opened it and took a look. Then with the help of a toothpick, he dug through each little hole, then turned on the shower after he was done.


    Hou Mo took ten minutes to clean the shower, and Sui HouYu stood by watching him patiently the entire time ¨C though he did step out for a moment to throw away his gum.


    After Hou Mo tidyed up, he turned on the shower and asked Sui HouYu, ¡°Is this all right?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Sui HouYu nodded, then pointed on the ground and said, ¡°Clean that rust too, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and it¡¯s making me uncomfortable.¡±


    Hou Mo silently observed the rust. It was on a floor drain that remained under water round the year and was rusty as it was not cleaned regularly.


    After looking at it, he squatted down and tried to clean it up.


    This time he understood that Sui HouYu was deliberately making things difficult for him.


    After that, Hou Mo was almost finished. While changing and tidying up the towels and sheets, Sui HouYu came and said, ¡°The top of the curtain rod is rusted, go and scrape it.¡±


    Hou Mo hesitated for a moment, threw the last pillowcase into the bamboo basket, turned around and said to Sui HouYu, ¡°Sui HouYu, don¡¯t go too far!¡±


    ¡±Now what did I do?¡±


    Hou Mo stared at Sui HouYu and muttered under his breath, ¡°You obviously provoked me first. You hit me with a water gun, so of course I¡¯ll chase you. I didn¡¯t underestimate you, so why are you so sensitive? People say I¡¯m gay, because I often tell girls I like boys just to reject them, so they won¡¯t be too uncomfortable. I¡¯m straight; don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be interested in you because you look like a girl.¡±


    Sui HouYu¡¯s expression got distorted and uglier.


    He really didn¡¯t know that other people thought Hou Mo was gay. Hou Mo revealed that on his own.


    Sui Hou Yu didn¡¯t like being told that he looked like a girl.


    Hou Mo continued, ¡°I just don¡¯t want to cause trouble, don¡¯t think I¡¯ll get accustomed to you.¡±


    Sui HouYu raised his chin and said, ¡°Am I accustomed to you?¡±


    Hou Mo pulled off the rubber gloves from his hand and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you provoking me so that you can fight me? And the reason you haven¡¯t given up yet is because you haven¡¯t achieved your goal? Okay, if I don¡¯t fight you, you would really think I am afraid of you! ¡±


    Yes, without a fight, Sui HouYu¡¯s heart wouldn¡¯t be able to get over this.


    He has to find a reason. Who knows for how long Hou Mo can tolerate.


    Nell¡¯s Corner:


    I¡¯m aware that there might be some of you who don¡¯t like reading my comments, and I admit some of them were personal, but after much deliberation I decided that I would still continue to put them up because honestly I enjoy doing so ¨C Although this time I¡¯ll lessen the amount and refrain from making any personal comments.


    I¡¯d like to apologize to those who would be affected by this but at the end of the day, I am translating this story as a sort of escapism from real life. And I would honestly like for it to remain that way. Anyways, it would be easy to discern my comments from the translation notes because my comments are only under single inconsequential words, while translation notes usually are under sentences and phrases and if they aren¡¯t, they are under Chinese words. Translation notes would also have an asterisk* moving forward to make it easier to identify if you should open a pop-up note or not.


    I have deleted some of the uncomfortable comments I¡¯ve made and rest assured none like that would surface again. I hope you don¡¯t stop reading this story on account of my comments.


    For those of you who don¡¯t care or actually enjoy them, thanks so much for the support and please look forward as we are slowly inching closer towards the summary plot (The pure sleeping together part. And then some.)

 CH 11

    Edited by Vai


    Unlike Deng YiHeng and the others, Hou Mo obviously was trained like a soldier.


    Sui HouYu had been training since he was a child. He had learned Sanda, Taekwondo, and Boxing, and he had sparred with his coaches. In addition to having a good physique, he had obviously never lost a fight.


    However, Hou Mo he met today was obviously not to be underestimated.


    The two of them exchanged a few blows, with Sui HouYu always being somehow caught by Hou Mo. While struggling, he noticed that Hou Mo was still able to take off his shoe cover with his other hand.


    Sui HouYu became anxious at that moment, and raised his foot to attack Hou Mo.


    Hou Mo stretched out his hand to block Sui HouYu¡¯s kick, and felt his palm tremble. The power of that kick was really strong, and Hou Mo struggled to parry.


    Hou Mo had seen Sui HouYu and Deng YiHeng fight once, and at that time Sui HouYu hardly moved his feet, he had just used his fists.


    At this moment, it was clear that Deng YiHeng and the others were only slightly injured last time due to Sui HouY holding himself back.


    This time, Sui HouYu didn¡¯t hold back, and Hou Mo had a bit of difficulty coping with it.


    Sui HouYu kicked him once again, and this time his pelvis was hit. Hou Mo¡¯s body trembled in pain and he couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°Fuck, do your feet have fucking steel nails?¡±


    This kick was so fucking ruthless, it hurted enough for Hou Mo¡¯s three souls to dissipate.


    Hou Mo seized the opportunity and caught Sui HouYu¡¯s ankle. Sui HouYu could only use his one foot on the ground to pull out of Huo Mo¡¯s grip but before he could, Huo Mo pounced on him, throwing him on his back to the ground and punching him in the face.


    Even though the punch came fast, Sui HouYu still noticed that Hou Mo had changed its direction. It was originally intended for his face, but at the last minute, he punched his chest.


    Hou Mo was indeed Hou Mo; only he could say such words in the middle of a fight, ¡°I really don¡¯t want to hit your face.¡±


    Sui HouYu groaned when he heard the provocation, and was so angry that he wanted to break free from Hou Mo. But ultimately, using only one hand, Hou Mo pinned both of his hands on top of his head, while the other hand flicked his head, ¡°Call me father and I¡¯ll spare you.¡±


    ¡°Your uncle!¡±


    Sui HouYu wriggled around and used his legs to try and push Huo Mo off his chest.


    Hou Mo thought that Sui HouYu was like a snake; he could bend his body and was slippery.


    He noticed a moment later that there seemed to be something wrong with their posture. Wasn¡¯t it wrong to split someone¡¯s legs open?


    Hou Mo let go again.


    Sui HouYu stood up and raised his fist ready to land another hit when Hou Mo asked him, ¡°Could you stop fighting?¡±


    Sui HouYu was so angry that his brain hurt; he had never seen anyone fight by flirting. He didn¡¯t agree with Huo Mo and continued throwing punches while Hou Mo dodged each one.


    After playing around for a while, Sui HouYu had to admit that Huo Mo was skillful. He was always caught and subdued by him, making him wonder, just what did he practice!


    Every few punches, Hou Mo could find an opportunity to grab Sui HouYu¡¯s hand.

    Hou Mo clasped Sui HouYu¡¯s hand. Seeing that he was still struggling, Hou Mo took him to the bedroom and pressed him on the bed, asking, ¡°Can we chat rationally, friendly and harmoniously?¡±


    ¡°Rb!¡± Vel LbeTe kjr rb jcugs atja tf kjr jybea ab fzqibvf!


    ¡°Tbe rff, joafg kf xffq olutalcu jcv olutalcu, kf klii aegc la lcab oglfcvrtlq. Jjc kf rtjxf tjcvr jcv wjxf qfjmf?¡±


    ¡°Scram!¡±


    Sui HouYu had never experienced such a way of making peace. Hou Mo was about to handcuff Sui HouYu.


    When Hou Mo heard it, he could only pat the other on the side of his head for being so arrogant. ¡°Why are you so difficult to get along with?¡±


    After that, he hesitated and added, ¡°Your hair is so thick. Does it have a absorbing shock-effect when you get hit?¡±


    Sui HouYu was so angry that he wanted to bite. He tried to break free by pulling Hou Mo¡¯s clothes until it exposed his shoulder. Fortunately, he fell on the bed, otherwise Hou Mo would suffer much.


    Sui HouYu rushed again, caught Hou Mo and started beating him up.


    Hou Mo had also gone anxious. He no longer cared about things and fought back when he found an opportunity.


    Whether the two of them fought too hard, or the quality of the bed was not very good, the bed suddenly collapsed.


    The bed frame broke in the middle, and the two got stuck in the crack simultaneously.


    At the moment when the bed collapsed, Hou Mo subconsciously pulled Sui HouYu into his arms to protect him. When he came back to his senses, he saw Sui HouYu staring at him.


    Hou Mo couldn¡¯t help but ¡°tsk¡± in complaint, ¡°You really don¡¯t know how lucky you are.¡±


    Sui HouYu reached out and pushed him away, ¡°Go away!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big crack. Where can I go? Wait, I¡¯ll adjust my position to climb out.¡±


    The bed board was broken in the middle, the two people were stuck in the V-shaped gap. The quilt and pillows on the bed were still sliding down, which hindered them a lot.


    Hou Mo adjusted his posture to climb out, but he was afraid of squishing Sui HouYu, so it took him a long time.


    After feeling Sui HouYu¡¯s impatience, Hou Mo could only crawl towards the edge, but his movements were still very slow.


    Sui HouYu urged, ¡°I said, can you hurry up?¡±


    Hou Mo also became upset and replied, ¡°You think I am willing to stay here? It¡¯s hard to move around and you are stuck in the middle. How could I hurry up? Do you think I am willing to do this? You¡¯re all bones and also panicking.¡±


    After Hou Mo crawled for a while, he looked up and suddenly saw a black cat, green eyes staring at him fiercely and let out a ¡°Miao¡±.


    Da Ge was woken up from his sleep. When he came to check the situation, it seemed that Hou Mo was bullying his poop picker. He readied his claws to swat Hou Mo.


    Hou Mo was so startled by this elder brother that he stumbled back. ¡°Fuck! Fuck, what the hell is this?!¡±


    Sui Hou Yu looked up and replied, ¡°Cat!¡±


    ¡°Why is it so dark?¡±


    ¡°Black cat!¡±


    Hou Mo was really scared of Da Ge. He kept stumbling back as Da Ge kept jumping and waving his claws at him.


    Hou Mo, who was quite majestic before, now became a coward. He was covering his head with his arms to block the incoming attacks.


    After a while, he peeked from between the gaps to see that Da Ge was still on to him, so he could only wiggle around and hug Sui HouYu¡¯s waist, not letting go. ¡°It¡¯s scaring me, you deal with it. Why does it keep attacking me?¡±


    ¡°He thought you were bullying me.¡± Sui HouYu watched Hou Mo squirm and felt helpless. He stretched his arms out and caught his Da Ge.


    Two people and one cat calmed down, Hou Mo was holding Sui HouYu, and Sui HouYu was holding the cat.


    Sui HouYu¡¯s voice was extremely cold, ¡°Get off me.¡±


    Hou Mo immediately let go, but Sui HouYu was still squeezed with him.


    Hou Mo climbed out after him and squatted to the side aggrievedly. He took a peek at Da Ge before closing his eyes in despair and ignoring it.


    Sui HouYu got confused and asked, ¡°I can understand why you are afraid of mice, but why are you afraid of cats?¡±


    ¡°Its fur is so dark, and its eyes are green. Aren¡¯t they generally amber?¡±


    Sui HouYu shrugged and replied, ¡°I like the color green, so I especially like him. I don¡¯t like the color amber very much, or any color similar to your eyes and hair. I hate it the most.¡±


    ¡°Hey, why are you personally attacking me?¡±


    ¡°How can it be considered as a personal attack? It¡¯s just a preference. I don¡¯t have any clothes of that color.¡±


    Hou Mo waited for a while before getting up and checked the place that was attacked by the cat. There was no scratch on it.


    He turned around and looked at the bed, feeling helpless. ¡°I¡¯ll find a way to give you a bed.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll buy a new one.¡±


    Hou Mo looked at him and said, ¡°The new ones are all full of formaldehyde. Would your body absorb the formaldehyde? I¡¯ll look for a way and bring it to you this afternoon.¡±


    When Hou Mo went out of the room, he felt bursts of pain in his body. When he looked back, he saw that Sui HouYu was also secretly rubbing his chest.


    Both of them were in the same situation.


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t leave right away, but went to the living room and sat down to catch his breath.


    Then he called Sang Xian and asked, ¡°Do you have an extra bed at home? A double bed that hasn¡¯t been used much would be ideal. If you have one please give it to me.¡±


    Hou Mo seldom asked Sang Xian anything. The only time he did was when he had no choice.


    Sang Xian¡¯s answer was very relaxed, ¡°Yes, our house has a guest room that has never been used. I will send you that bed.¡±


    ¡°Okay, send it today.¡±


    Sang Xian asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen to your bed?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. I got into a fight with Sui HouYu and the bed collapsed.¡±


    Sang Xian smiled and asked, ¡°So you like that type?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve said it many times, I¡¯m straight.¡±


    ¡°Oh, all right, I¡¯ll ask the housekeeper to call a car to deliver it now.¡±


    ¡°By the way, if you have an extra bed frame, send it too. Though please make sure it won¡¯t be easily destroyed.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Never mind, hurry up.¡±


    Sui HouYu¡¯s bed was filled with delicate quilts. It was quite soft to sleep in, but if you laid on it for a long time, your back would hurt. Simply fooling people.


    After hanging up, Hou Mo browsed his phone for a while before telling Sui HouYu something, ¡°Hey, just a piece of advice.¡±


    Sui HouYu asked angrily, ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Try not to go out at night. A lot of couples will be roaming.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with there being a lot of couples?¡±


    ¡°What if they get disappointed in their partners after seeing you? ¡°


    Sui HouYu looked at Hou Mo, his expression indifferent yet puzzled. He didn¡¯t smile at all.


    Hou Mo looked back at his mobile phone and sighed. Then he showed his phone to Sui HouYu, ¡°Look, it¡¯s a joke from the internet. They said that coaxing good-looking people is the most effective way. ¡±


    Sui HouYu glanced at the screen and saw: how to make good-looking people happy.


    When he saw the sentence, Sui HouYu couldn¡¯t hold back his smile.


    Hou Mo just stared at Sui HouYu, and his gaze didn¡¯t seem to be innocent.


    Clear.


    It was like a random gust of wind in the wasteland. The wind was not strong, just light and fluttering, but it was enough to sweep the heavens and the earth.


    The author has something to say:


    Leave 88 red envelopes at random.


    By the way: Sui HouYu¡¯s black cat is named Da Ge (big brother), which was mentioned in Chapter 1.


    [Note: The joke of coaxing brother Yu is an inside joke, which is also reflected in the text, and I have said it again. ¡¿

    TL Note: Again, pop-up notes that have an * in them are translation notes, otherwise they are just my usual comments.


    Sang Xian came to deliver the bed, by himself, in a car, without bringing anyone else.


    Back at his house, there would be people who could help carry, but he came alone. It was up to the three of them to carry the bed and mattress themselves.


    Deng YiHeng was called to help, and along the way was told how the bed broke.


    While they were moving, Deng YiHeng secretly asked Hou Mo. He was whispering, but the movements of his lips were exaggerated. He wanted Hou Mo to read his lips. ¡°Da Shixiong, did you beat him?¡±


    Hou Mo replied indifferently, ¡°We have different techniques.¡±


    ¡°Did you beat him?¡± Deng YiHeng was obsessed with knowing the outcome.


    ¡°It was a tie.¡±


    In terms of strength, Hou Mo was no match for Sui HouYu, but the other was always under his control, so it was a tie.


    Deng YiHeng gave Hou Mo a thumbs up and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯m relieved.¡±


    Hou Mo smiled but didn¡¯t say that he had to coax Sui HouYu after the fight.


    Four boys and a driver struggled to take the bed upstairs. The bed frame was flashy and looked out of place in the apartment. It was like a cat¡¯s bowl placed into a rat¡¯s den.


    Sui HouYu had some knowledge of furniture. Just by looking at the bed frame, he knew its price would be around five digits.


    He thought about it and told Sang Xian, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer the money to you.¡±


    Sang Xian shook his head and refused, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    Hou Mo also said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to give him anything.¡±


    Afterwards, Hou Mo and Sang Xian went downstairs to get the mattress while Sui HouYu and Deng YiHeng stayed in the apartment to rest.


    Deng YiHeng took out a plastic package from his bag and put it on the table. He told Sui HouYu, ¡°Da Shixiong asked me to buy it for you.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Our locality¡¯s most famous dish ¨C Mixed QQ Chicken. We used to eat it before we became sports students. It¡¯s the most delicious dish in the world, but now we can¡¯t eat it.¡±


    Sui HouYu opened the plastic bag. There was a transparent plastic lunch box with the chicken dish clearly seen.


    While he was looking, Deng YiHeng moved closer to Sui HouYu and told him, ¡°You should cherish this. Our Da Shixiong is usually very stingy, and has never once offered to pay out of his own pocket. The only time he paid was when he was dating a girl, and took her out for a meal, that was already a huge thing.¡±


    Sui HouYu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°How bad are his family circumstances really?¡±


    Deng YiHeng sighed and nodded, ¡°It¡¯s only him and his mother. Auntie isn¡¯t in good health. In order to pay for her medications, they had to sell their house, and borrow money. However, they couldn¡¯t be really considered as poor. It¡¯s just that in case her mother¡¯s sickness relapses, to avoid further embarrassment of having to look for money, Da Shixiong has to strictly save money and even be stingy with himself.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡± Sui HouYu broke apart the chopsticks, and as he opened the lunch box he asked, ¡°Then why is he going to a private school?¡±


    Private high schools are expensive.


    When Sui HouYu had visited the Lantau school canteen, he saw the prices were similar to that at the airport. A bottle of water cost twice as compared to outside.


    Gfcu TlLfcu rcjqqfv tlr olcufgr cfjg Vel LbeTe¡¯r fjgr, yea tf lucbgfv tlw.


    Deng YiHeng was in a good mood, so he didn¡¯t care. He continued, ¡°You didn¡¯t know this, right? Da Shixiong made money through the school. Last year he made more than 200,000 yuan from competitions, scholarships, and commercials!¡±


    After Sui HouYu tasted a piece of chicken, he found out that it was indeed delicious. He looked at Deng YiHeng, waiting for the other to continue.

    Sui HouYu swallowed and asked, ¡°Is he good at academics?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Da Shixiong is very good at studying, and is FengHua¡¯s top scorer in our batch. However, as a fellow school bully, you don¡¯t have to feel inferior. School bullies with high IQs like Da Shixiong are indeed rare. As for you, you could just rely on your face and won¡¯t need to work hard towards a bright future.¡±


    Sui HouYu didn¡¯t know what to say. Should he say that he deliberately underperformed this time?


    Instead he said,. ¡°It¡¯s really delicious.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, you have to wait in line for half a day.¡±


    At this moment, Hou Mo and Sang Xian arrived carrying the mattress from downstairs.


    Upon seeing Hou Mo, Sui HouYu picked up his phone and said, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer you money for the food.¡±


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t want it and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you get what that is for? It¡¯s my bribe to you, not to tell my mother what happened. She has a bad heart.¡±


    ¡°Okay, but how would you explain what happened?¡±


    Hou Mo made a shameless suggestion, ¡°Just say you and your girlfriend did it.¡±


    Sui HouYu immediately retorted, ¡°Nonsense! Where is my girlfriend?¡±


    Hou Mo paid no heed. In fact, he had planned to leave after helping with the move, but now he stopped at the door and asked, ¡°What about the one who approached you during the military training, an ex-girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to talk about it.¡± Saying that, he turned back to his food and didn¡¯t elaborate any further.


    Deng YiHeng suddenly felt mollified, and slapped his thigh. ¡°Look, what¡¯s the use of being good looking? There are four boys inside this room, and yet none of them are in a relationship. My heart suddenly feels happy.¡±


    Hou Mo was delighted when he heard it, ¡°I am not worried. Sang-laoyezi* here should be the one who is worried. After all, he is long past the age for puppy love.¡±


    Sang Xian glanced at Hou Mo.


    Deng YiHeng noticed that Sui HouYu had no idea, so he leaned over and explained, ¡°Sang Xian is the eldest in our class. He should have been in his third year but he had to repeat a year. By the way, Da Shixiong is the youngest in our class. If he had been born a day later, then he would have been a first year instead. Fortunately he was not, otherwise wouldn¡¯t Sang Xian be repeating years for twice in a row?¡±


    Even with the explanation, Sui HouYu did not understand.


    Had Sang Xian held back for Hou Mo?


    Finally, after Deng YiHeng said all he wanted to say, Huo Mo dragged him away and the three of them left together.


    After he finished the food, Sui HouYu did not want to further think about their relationship.


    *


    At about 10:30 the next morning, Hou Mo again went to Sui HouYu¡¯s.


    Hou Mo went inside and helped Sui HouYu to clean as if nothing had happened. As he was cleaning, he saw Da Ge staring at him quite intensely. After calming himself, he asked, ¡°What is the cat¡¯s name?¡±


    Sui HouYu was in the living room lazing around, reading a book. He replied, ¡°Da Ge.¡±


    Hou Mo continued to clean, ¡°The cat¡¯s name is quite appropriate*.¡±


    ¡°Ran Shu named him.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­¡± Hou Mo looked at Da Ge and greeted him. ¡°Hello, Da ge. No offense meant, I am just here to clean.¡±


    Da Ge was perched on the cabinet, eyes following Hou Mo at all times, and gaze sharp. It was obvious he had a very bad impression of Hou Mo.


    Da Ge¡¯s impression of him was that of a detestable lackey who bullied his poop picker. Seeing as Sui HouYu had helped him shovel his discharges, Da Ge decided to lend a hand and watch for Hou Mo. ()


    While cleaning, Hou Mo kept glancing at Da Ge¡¯s green eyes; thinking about the green-haired Zoro.


    He saw its flaxen hair and pupils in the mirror nearby, and suddenly felt that this particular color was not pleasing to the eyes.


    Before leaving, Hou Mo asked Sui HouYu, ¡°Can I scrape the curtain rod for you?¡±


    Sui HouYu turned a page from the book he was reading, ¡°I don¡¯t have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I don¡¯t usually go there to read.¡±


    In other words, he was deliberately looking for trouble yesterday, what can you do?


    Hou Mo tidied up the things in his bamboo basket and went out. After he closed the door, he heard Sui HouYu clearing his throat, which was unusual.


    The sound proofing in this place was not good. When Hou Mo arrived at his apartment¡¯s door, he could vaguely hear Sui HouYu humming, and then singing something operatic.


    He stood there for a while and carefully listened, before opening the door to go inside.


    After entering, he didn¡¯t immediately clean the things he brought, but instead went to his room and turned on the computer. He planned on researching the song Sui HouYu sang.


    He wasn¡¯t able to clearly hear the whole thing, only some vague words, but when he typed those on the search box it yielded results that made his eyes wide.


    Hua Dan*?


    Sui Hou Yu just now was Su Luanxian in ¡°Xie Yaohuan*¡°, and this character was a Hua Dan.


    When he thought more about it, Sui HouYu¡¯s voice didn¡¯t sound like a man¡¯s voice¡­


    Hou Mo researched more about how Hua Dan looked, his mind immediately conjuring images of how Sui HouYu would look dressed as such.


    After having thought about it for a while, he rubbed his face.


    It must be said that Sui HouYu looked appropriate as Hua Dan, although Hou Mo didn¡¯t know much about Peking Opera. Would it still be fine for Sui HouYu to act as Hua Dan with his height?


    At this moment, Mother Hou returned and saw the cleaning tools left in the living room. She didn¡¯t call Hou Mo but instead cleaned it up herself.


    Hou Mo came out of his room when he heard the front door close, and helped his mother.


    Mother Hou looked at Hou Mo, thought about it for a moment, and asked, ¡°Did Sang Xian come over yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Ah.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask him to stay for dinner?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not hungry.¡±


    ¡°Why is he always not hungry?¡±


    Hou Mo could only laugh, ¡°Who knows! What a coincidence.¡±


    After hesitating for a while, Mother Hou asked, ¡°Did you¡­ fight again?¡±


    Hou Mo¡¯s movements paused. Although Sui HouYu didn¡¯t hit his face, there were other places that still hurt. Hou Mo couldn¡¯t sleep last night, so he had gotten up and had secretly applied ointment on them.


    Unexpectedly, Mother Hou found out.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t that I called Sang Xian for help¡­ I fought with a boy on my own. The boy was being rebellious and looked for trouble. If no one had stopped him, he would have continued. But it didn¡¯t escalate to a huge fight, at most it was just a scuffle.¡±


    Mother Huo looked at Huo Mo and stopped talking. Hou Mo didn¡¯t want to say anything more and just comforted his mother, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±


    Mother Huo stayed silent.


    *


    Early Monday morning, Deng YiHeng brought the news, ¡°Ge-ge was asking about what happened at the dorm last time.¡±


    Huo Mo didn¡¯t even move in his seat, continued with his homework, and mumbled, ¡°It was just self defense. Why are you afraid?¡±


    ¡°I was listening to them. The female teacher quarreled with Ge-ge.¡±


    Hou Mo looked up, hesitated for a while before asking, ¡°Sui HouYu¡¯s past adviser?¡±


    Deng YiHeng nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    This caught Sui HouYu¡¯s attention, who turned towards them and asked, ¡°Then what?¡±


    ¡°Ge-ge obviously wouldn¡¯t fight with that teacher. Both sides had to call the Director to step in. I¡¯m afraid we would need to change dormitories.¡±


    As soon as Deng YiHeng said that, someone entered the classroom and called Sui HouYu.


    Sui HouYu had expected this to happen. Obviously, he was supposed to be just a participant, but in the end he became the leader. When the teachers found out, he would be the first person to be called.


    He took a deep breath, got up and went to the office.


    As soon as he walked in, the Director yelled, ¡°Sui HouYu, it¡¯s you again.¡±


    The director was from Lantau high and was quite familiar with Sui HouYu. After all, he had often asked Sui HouYu to write a reflection letter.


    Li-laoshi commented unhappily, ¡°Dad! Don¡¯t always target him just because he has a lot of hair, okay? Your baldness is your own.problem¡±


    Ge-ge, who had been arguing until now, couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Nell¡¯s Corner:


    Sorry for the delay! I got sick and the doctor advised me to rest so I wasn¡¯t able to work on anything the whole time. So unless my body gives up on me again, there should be no other reason for future delays lmao.

 CH 13

    After Sui HouYu entered the office, he just stood to the side, and did not join in. He just listened to those people argue.


    He was a little confused; did these people call him over just to listen to them squabble?


    Guess they just lacked an audience.


    Ou Yang Ge¡¯s argument was: ¡°I don¡¯t agree with your decision. Wouldn¡¯t it be in line with their wishes if we agree to change their dormitories just because they were raising hell? Then in the future they would just constantly make trouble until we follow what they want. If this gets out, what would the school look like?¡±


    Li-laoshi waved her hand in denial but did not give in. ¡°Things escalated to this because they had told the school beforehand and were ignored. It¡¯s not like they made trouble for no reason; the school dormitory assignments indeed were unfair. This oppressive government drives the people to revolt.*¡±


    Director Li was so angry that he rubbed his chest, and then rebutted Li-laoshi, ¡°Your attitude of protecting the calves is not suitable to being a class adviser.¡±


    Li-laoshi was ten thousand times disappointed, ¡°This is not protecting the calf but being reasonable! What era are we now? We should respect the students¡¯ ideas.¡±


    Ou Yang Ge took out a stack of files from the side, ¡°We were already sorting out the rooms in preparation for a re-arrangement, but what happened now is they all got into trouble.¡±


    It seemed like in Li-laoshi¡¯s mind, whoever had the loudest voice made more sense so she yelled: ¡°Then make arrangements for them! And tell them you are sorting it out! They didn¡¯t know anything so they took matters into their own hands. If they had been told, do you think they would¡¯ve made trouble? This is due to your inefficiency so why are you blaming the students?¡±


    She spoke with such passion that her jade earrings trembled.


    Ou Yang Ge choked on such a response, and looked at Director Li, ¡°Director, can you calm her down?¡±


    Director Li then yelled at Teacher Li, ¡°Can¡¯t you articulate better?!¡±


    Ou Yang Ge was stunned again. These two people are indeed father and daughter, and are quite similar.


    Li-laoshi continued to be stubborn, then went over to ask Sui HouYu, ¡°Were you the one who led your classmates?¡±


    Sui HouYu lowered his eyelids and replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t take the lead, but I participated.¡±


    ¡°Who was there?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Sui HouYu went silent.


    Chrysanthemum Garden.


    Ou Yang Ge observed for a while before going out and called a student, ¡°Go to Class 17, and get Hou Mo over. He is the one with the yellow hair.¡±


    The student nodded and ran away.


    After a moment Hou Mo arrived with a wad of homework in hand and said listlessly, ¡°Ge-ge, I¡¯m collecting homework. Can¡¯t you call me another time?¡±


    Ou Yang Ge stared at the stack of homework books he brought, which could only be counted in one hand, before glaring at Hou Mo, and waved for him to enter.


    As Hou Mo went in, Ou Yang Ge pointed at Sui HouYu and said, ¡°You stand beside him.¡±


    Hou Mo walked over with a smile, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sui HouYu then asked, ¡°Why, going to choose who is the most handsome?¡±


    Really shameless.


    Li-laoshi was seriously listening, but after hearing Hou Mo¡¯s description, an image instantly came to her mind, and she couldn¡¯t help but let out a ¡°Pu¡± in laughter. Director Li had to kick her before she was able to fix her expression and turn serious again. vrsaue


    Ou Yang Ge glanced at Li-laoshi, then with a stern face asked Hou Mo again, ¡°You really had nothing to do with it?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I am innocent, would you still punish me?¡± Hou Mo replied with a straight face.


    Ou Yang Ge snorted coldly, ¡°I heard that you were the one who took the lead, and occupied the dormitory rooms.¡±


    Hou Mo shook his head like a rattle, ¡°No, no, no, it wasn¡¯t me. I just followed everyone else.¡±


    ¡°Why did I hear that when they saw you making a move, they also moved, and tried to be on the same floor as you?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Hou Mo sighed.


    Indeed, it was not Hou Mo who took the lead, but one of the sport students. Hou Mo did not participate at first.


    But other sports students also moved, and it was not appropriate for him to stay alone, so he moved with them. After he moved, the whole school moved with him.


    Ou Yang Ge took a few steps, and stood in front of the two boys.


    Ou Yang Ge was 177cm tall, shorter than the two boys, but he had great presence. After all, he was also a champion.


    He stared at the two students. He kept his silence but his gaze was steady. The subtle atmosphere made Hou Mo and Sui HouYu silent at the same time.


    After a moment Ou Yang Ge said, ¡°Neither of you took the lead but only participated. Yet, you are the only ones called here. Do you know why that is?¡±


    Sui HouYu continued to be indifferent, only Hou Mo glanced at Ou Yang Ge.


    Ou Yang Ge began, ¡°You are aware how influential you are. A lot of the students look up to you, and you know it. Since you have such a presence you must weigh your own words and deeds. When you do good they would also do good; if you do something bad then they would also copy it. I was a student once so I know about these things.¡±


    ¡°Who hasn¡¯t been a school bully.¡± ¡ª¡ª Ou Yang Ge


    ¡°Not like I haven¡¯t been a big brother for many years.¡± ¡ª¡ª Ou Yang Ge


    ¡°In this regard, you are all brothers.¡± ¡ª¡ªOu Yang Ge


    Sui HouYu & Hou Mo: ¡°¡­¡±


    Ou Yang Ge continued, ¡°I know you don¡¯t want to drop any names, but in this case the school needs to take action. Maybe you might think I¡¯m unreasonable, but I will hold you two accountable. After all, if neither of you got involved, then you wouldn¡¯t be able to gather as many participants as you had. You two are their backbone.¡±


    As a result, Hou Mo suddenly seemed like he had been given life, and became energetic, ¡°No, Ge-ge, you did not ask. I am willing to tell you all of their names so that we can all be punished, and not just me alone!¡±


    Ou Yang Ge paused¡­ Now the school bully¡¯s style of painting has changed? 2hAga


    Sui HouYu had been indifferent at first but was surprised by Hou Mo¡¯s move. His eyes went wide with shock; looking at Hou Mo incredulously.


    Hou Mo stared back at Sui HouYu, smiling, ¡°What, you didn¡¯t tell them? Such commendable friendship! Then you from Lantau must be ¡®One Piece¡¯, while us from Feng Hua are ¡®Gintama¡¯.¡±


    Sui HouYu couldn¡¯t help sighing, ¡°How amazing!¡±


    Hou Mo laughed heartily, and asked Ou Yang Ge for a piece of paper, ¡°Ge-ge, give me a piece of paper, and I¡¯ll write down names of these people. You should punish them thoroughly for their crimes, don¡¯t be lenient. I¡¯m such a good person, no need to thank me.¡±


    Ou Yang Ge really gave Hou Mo a piece of paper. Hou Mo went to a desk, and wrote a small report conscientiously.


    Sui HouYu looked at him, and couldn¡¯t help rolling his eyes. What a man; what a dog!


    Li-laoshi observed for a while, before approaching Ou Yang Ge and asked, ¡°How are you going to deal with this matter?¡±


    Li-laoshi was very adamant about changing dormitories.


    Ou Yang Ge sighed, ¡°Change. I won¡¯t go to the next two self-study classes today, instead I will leave school early, and reshuffle the rooms. I will make a new list, and send it to all the students once I¡¯m done.¡±


    Then he sat at his desk, and turned on the computer to sort out the forms. 0b8yiA


    Li-laoshi was finally satisfied and asked again, ¡°What about Sui HouYu?¡±


    ¡°He will stay on the sixth floor, write a reflection letter, and read it aloud in front of the whole school on Monday.¡±


    He won¡¯t receive any demerits, and would only need to write a reflection letter. After thinking about it Li-laoshi did not argue any longer, and left the office for her class. 6wRJL1


    After Hou Mo finished writing he stood beside Ou Yang Ge, and watched him sort out the forms. The forms were printed out one after another. Hou Mo picked it up and took a look then asked in confusion, ¡°Ge-ge, the dormitory building 11 is not yet ready for use, right?¡±


    ¡°Part of it is under renovation. ¡±


    ¡°Part of?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it was already partially furnished but after it was found that there would not be a lot of students staying, they stopped renovations. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fully equipped.¡±


    Hou Mo really had no one to talk to so he approached Sui HouYu, and showed him the list Ou Yang Ge had made.


    When Ou Yang Ge mentioned the sixth floor, they thought it would be of their building .


    Unexpectedly, they are getting moved to the sixth floor of some other building ¨C building 11.


    At that time, only buildings 1-10 were being used.


    Building 11 remained vacant, and the gate had been sealed due to the lack of usage.


    Hou Mo and his friends had once secretly trespassed on building 11, just to hang out for a short while. The floors didn¡¯t even have tiles then; just cement all around.


    ¡°We are in the same dorm room. Is this punishment?¡± Hou Mo stared at the list and asked.


    Sui HouYu looked over the list, and found that Ran Shu was also in the same room as them.


    The room was equipped with six beds ¨C four upper bunks, two lower bunks, and two desks.


    The list was as follows:


    Sui HouYu, Ran Shu, Hou Mo, Sang Xian, Deng YiHeng, Shen JunJing.


    Ou Yang Ge knew them very well, and was aware of who had a good relationship with whom.


    Sui HouYu also looked puzzled. He turned to Hou Mo and asked, ¡°Is it really that bad there?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡± Hou Mo pondered and replied, ¡°Our room will be the only one used in that entire building.¡±


    Sui HouYu: ¡°¡­¡±


    Ou Yang Ge suddenly interjected, ¡°No, this building would be used soon. The teachers and staff will live with you.¡±


    Hou Mo and Sui HouYu understood this time. They were about to live in the same building as the teachers. 4KzuB9


    This treatment was second to none, giving them the most unique care.


    From time to time, Sui HouYu¡¯s desk mate was Ou Yang Ge. <Now, all their neighbors will be teachers. Absolutely amazing!


    Just couldn¡¯t bring himself to laugh. aFdfzl


    Hou Mo asked again, ¡°Will we be the only students in the building?¡±


    Ou Yang Ge took another blank piece of paper, ¡°Continue writing your small report, and I will find some more people to accompany you.¡±


    Hou Mo nodded and turned around to comfort Sui HouYu, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will do my best to make our floor full.¡± NXAoBs


    Then he continued to write.


    Sui HouYu stood behind Hou Mo, and peered down on his list. He noticed Hou Mo had also written the names of two green onions of the school.


    This person truly had a good memory. How he could hold such grudges!


    Sui HouYu¡¯s feelings at that moment ¨C  at ease yet disdainful.

 CH 14

    Edited by Vai


    In the afternoon, Sui HouYu moved to his new dorm.


    He brought his luggage to the gates of building 11, and saw a group of sports students fighting, and Hou Mo being carried out of the dormitory building by a group of people.


    Hou Mo was also terrified, and kept on saying, ¡°Wrong! Wrong!¡±


    Looking at their actions, Ran Shu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is this some kind of sacred ceremony?¡± (probably an initiation rite bb)


    Sui HouYu replied lazily, ¡°Maybe they want to use a dog to call upon rain*.¡±


    The two watched for a while, then went upstairs with their luggage.


    This dormitory building was also unique. The hall on the first floor, the stairs, and the 5th and the 6th floors had been renovated.


    The rooms on 1st to 4th floors were not finished yet, but it only needed one last step: installing the floor tiles.


    However, it really made a world of difference whether there were floor tiles or not, at least the floor tiles looked cleaner.


    Sui HouYu brought his luggage to his assigned dorm room, and saw the floor was full of bags. It seemed like the sports students just haphazardly threw them here as they carried Hou Mo to worship the heaven.


    Ran Shu pushed the luggage away, walked to the bed and said, ¡°We¡¯ll each have the lower bunk?¡±


    There are only two lower bunks in total. If they both took it, that group of sports students would start a fight when they returned.


    Sui HouYu thought for a while and decided, ¡°We would each take one from up and down.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Sui HouYu chose the lower bunk, while Ran Shu settled in its upper bunk.


    When he was almost done tidying up, Ran Shu squatted by the wall near the socket to test the electrical appliances, and then exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Yu-ge, there is no power. I plugged the iron; it didn¡¯t turn on.¡±


    Sui HouYu tried it then smiled. ¡°This is not bad.¡±


    It was a blessing in disguise.


    When the group of sports students came back, they saw Sui HouYu and Ran Shu squatting around a boiling pot.


    The aroma of what they were cooking was so strong it could be smelled from a mile away, which attracted everyone, and made them swallow their saliva.


    Hou Mo approached Sang Xian to discuss who would get the remaining lower bunk. After all, the two of them were the tallest in the room, and the small space at the top would be an inconvenience. As they were talking, they couldn¡¯t help but glance at Sui HouYu and Ran Shu.


    Deng YiHeng ran towards them and whispered, ¡°They are making dark cuisine.¡±


    Hou Mo asked, ¡°What can we do?¡±


    ¡°Look, how red the turkey noodles wrapped in the handmade pancakes are! My god, how spicy is this?¡±


    The four sports students in the dormitory stopped making their beds, and watched the two people making ¡°dark cuisine¡± together.


    Ran Shu took a bite and said, ¡°Well, this time it was just right.¡±


    Sui HouYu while making pancakes instructed, ¡°Wrap some and send it to Su Anyi later.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Hou Mo couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Aren¡¯t they living a good life?¡±


    Deng YiHeng sighed, ¡°Who would even bring a to school?pot ¡±


    Shen JunJing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.


    Sang Xian returned to the topic, ¡°I want the lower bunk.¡±

    Hou Mo made his bed and said, ¡°Shi Xiongdi*, let¡¯s all go to hell together.¡±


    ¡°Beautiful!¡± Deng YiHeng sighed as he ran to the corridor crying, ¡°Ah, ah, ah, I will never talk to Da Shixiong again! I have to read a reflection letter on Monday!¡±

    ¡°No, you are determined to be single until graduation.¡±


    Sui HouYu stood in the corridor with his wrap while he watched the people buzzing around. Most of them were strangers to him.


    Swimming in a pool full of sports students!


    However, Sui HouYu remained calm and continued to leisurely eat his wrap while watching all of them buzz around like busy bees.


    After a while, Deng YiHeng approached him and asked, ¡°Is it delicious?¡±


    ¡°Delicious, want one?¡± Sui HouYu replied.


    ¡°No, they are instant noodles, right? Sports students can¡¯t eat them.¡± Deng YiHeng was still staring at the wrap when he answered.


    Sui HouYu took another bite and asked, ¡°Why can¡¯t you eat it?¡±


    ¡°It affects our muscles. We can¡¯t drink carbonated drinks or eat fried food. When the season comes our diet becomes more strict, and we can¡¯t eat food from outside.¡±


    After thinking for a while, Sui HouYu asked, ¡°Does the school only have a tennis team?¡±


    ¡°No, we also have a track and field team and other competitive sports. However, our school is one of the rare ones that can compete with sports schools. If you study abroad tennis is more recognized so the school focuses on that.¡±


    ¡°How long have you been practicing tennis?¡±


    ¡°I started in primary school, while Da Shixiong started in junior high school.¡±


    ¡°Started in junior high?¡± It wasn¡¯t long enough, and this made Sui HouYu even more disgruntled.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    At this time Ran Shu came out of their room and asked Sui HouYu, ¡°Why are you inquiring about the tennis team? Do you really want to join?¡±


    Sui HouYu immediately shook his head and denied, ¡°I¡¯m just asking.¡±


    Deng YiHeng stopped talking and went to another room to chat.


    Holding a bag in his hand, Ran Shu told Sui HouYu, ¡°I¡¯ll go deliver food to Anyi.¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    When Ran Shu was some distance away, Sui HouYu ran to him shouting, ¡°Bring two bottles of water when you return.¡±


    ¡°Roger.¡±


    As Sui HouYu walked back to their room with the wrap in hand, he heard the conversation between Sang Xian and Hou Mo.


    Sang Xian: ¡°Actually, there was no need to bring so many people to live in this building.¡±


    Hou Mo: ¡°If only a few people will be punished, it would become a big problem. But if there were a lot, the school won¡¯t make such a big deal out of it. Instead, it would be turned into a cautionary tale.¡±


    Sang Xian: ¡°You did this to ensure that the people who were leading the charge on our side were saved, but in the end, it was people from Fenghua who got punished, while the people from Lantau were fine.¡±


    Hou Mo smiled: ¡°It¡¯s frustrating.¡±


    This was normal for them sport students, and they had long gotten used to it.


    In the end, no one cared about it and everyone would still treat each other the same ¨C laughing, talking, and fighting out loud.


    Sui HouYu stood at the door for a while debating whether to go in or not. Finally, he turned around and went downstairs, sat down on the stairs and continued to eat his wrap.


    The others won¡¯t be able to smell anything from here¡­ right?


    He didn¡¯t know that those sports student¡¯s weren¡¯t allowed to eat it.


    In the future, if they wanted to cook, they would go to a vacant room on the fourth floor.


    *


    Sui HouYu was particularly concerned about the sleeping environment.


    He always had insomnia, his disorder making it hard for him to fall asleep.


    When he was young he thought it didn¡¯t matter but as he got older he discovered that he was not able to sleep like a normal person, and it made his mood irritable and uncontrollable.


    Anxiety, restlessness, and heart palpitations at night were obviously different from that during the day.


    This had made him realize that he actually needed to sleep, but he just couldn¡¯t.


    In the current room, one of his roommates was a snorer, and not even ear plugs could block the sound, making Sui HouYu grumpy.


    After tossing and turning for more than two hours, he took out his phone and saw that it was already two o¡¯clock in the night. He sighed and sat up.


    He walked to the desk; to his bag, and found some pastries in it. He walked out of the room, after looking left and right, squatted by the door to eat.


    Eating sweets could calm and soothe him.


    After eating a few, he still wasn¡¯t sleepy.


    The last hospital he visited prescribed him sleeping pills ¨C melatonin, and he took them for a while. But they became useless soon, so he stopped taking them.


    Now, he often thought about increasing the dosage.


    While he was contemplating it, someone opened the bedroom door and walked out. The person turned around and saw him at the door.


    Sui HouYu faced the person and saw Hou Mo spinning and jumping in one go. He almost wanted to applaud.


    Hou Mo clutched his chest in fear and looked at Sui HouYu.


    With a cake in his mouth and a couple more in hand, Sui HouYu stared dumbfounded at Hou Mo.


    The two people stared at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.


    Hou Mo looked at Sui HouYu¡¯s bulged face, like a chipmunk, and couldn¡¯t bear it, ¡°You can swallow it first.¡±


    Sui HouYu obediently did as told, then wiped his mouth and explained, ¡°I couldn¡¯t sleep.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I know you don¡¯t like to sleep.¡±


    ¡°And I know you are a coward.¡±


    Hou Mo didn¡¯t bother rebutting, heart still beating loudly. He could only place a hand on his chest and lean on the wall, slowly crouching down next to Sui HouYu and muttering, ¡°My heart has never beaten this fast in my life, and it wasn¡¯t due to falling in love at first sight but was scared by you.¡±


    Sui HouYu took the last few bites, ¡°You snore too loud.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s Deng YiHeng. I have roomed with him too long to care. I¡¯m such a deep sleeper that even the dormitory wake-up call won¡¯t rouse me.¡±


    ¡°Then you are amazing.¡±


    Hou Mo regained his senses and walked to the toilet staggeringly.


    Sui HouYu rolled his eyes, then got up and followed Hou Mo.


    Hou Mo planned on going to the toilet, so he didn¡¯t care. In the end, they both stood together but Sui HouYu did not take off his pants, merely looked down at him.


    Hou Mo: ¡°¡­¡±


    After Sui HouYu saw it clearly, he muttered, ¡°So your hair down here is also the same color.¡±


    Hou Mo almost couldn¡¯t pee.


    After watching, Sui HouYu walked out leisurely.


    Hou Mo quickly washed his hands and came out, catching up with Sui HouYu and pulling his arm to stop him from leaving, ¡°Wait, let me see yours if you dare!¡±


    ¡°Fuck off, it¡¯s all rolled up!¡± Sui HouYu struggled hard.


    ¡°You are usually sane. I really didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person!¡±


    ¡°Curiosity is common to all.¡±


    They both went back to their room, and Sui HouYu laid back on his bed to try to sleep.


    Hou Mo climbed to his bed and took a look at his phone. He went back down and sat beside Sui HouYu, whispering, ¡°I need to send a message so I¡¯ll sit here for a while. You go to sleep first.¡±


    This building hasn¡¯t been used before, so there were only desks but no chairs. The school said they would have that arranged, but they didn¡¯t know exactly when.


    This meant that during school days, if they wanted to sit down, they could only do so on the bottom bunks.


    Sui HouYu doesn¡¯t really like that. He especially didn¡¯t like it when other people sat on his bed.


    But thinking of what Hou Mo had said before, he reluctantly agreed.


    Mother Hou took on several jobs at different companies as an accountant. She had taught Hou Mo her work, and would sometimes ask for help from him to look at statements and stuff.


    Hou Mo had slept early so he hadn¡¯t seen his mother¡¯s message. Now that he did, he planned on working on it so that she won¡¯t need to do it by herself tomorrow.


    At first, he noticed that Sui HouYu was quite far away from him.


    Sui HouYu was thin and only occupied a small space, so there was still a huge space available on the bed. But gradually he began to lean on to Hou Mo, and eventually fell asleep completely snuggling the other.


    Looking at Sui HouYu all curled up and sleeping soundly, how could he not fall asleep too?
