Noon is the time that Jiang Xuan and Lin Zimao had agreed to have a meal together.
Lin Zimao, under the guise of ‘pursuing’ him, openly brought lunch to school, which had almost become a habit.
Ji Chen couldn’t help praising Lin Zimao for his ability to court someone, this husband of his was really capable, and it made Jiang Xuan want to hold onto him tighter, mainly because Lin Zimao was too adorable.
Lin Zimao has been extremely popular recently, and people are staring at him wherever he goes, whether it’s on the school forum or social media platforms, many people are confessing their feelings to Lin Zimao, it’s impossible for Jiang Xuan not to be nervous about it.
Moreover, at the beginning, Lin Zimao told him that what he liked was his face, what if his face was no longer useful?
There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, if one day Lin Zimao takes a fancy to the other person’s face, and lost interest in him, what is he going to do?
Jiang Xuan began to worry about gains and losses.
He’s been in a bad mood all morning.
The usually extremely calm him leaves as soon as class is over, the first to walk out of the classroom.
The whole class thought his behavior was abnormal.
Is School Grass Jiang not in good condition today?
Where is he going in such a hurry?
Some students said that people have three urgent needs1人有三急 (rén yǒu sān jí): (jocularly) to need to answer the call of nature; to need to use the toilet., maybe going to the toilet.
Other students also said it make sense, it make sense.
Mainly because they had never seen Jiang Xuan do anything outside the bounds of reason and calmness, so they couldn’t help but think a little more about it.
However, there are also students who are naturally more sensitive to gossip.
“Wasn’t Jiang Xuan being pursued by Junior Lin Zimao recently?”
“Is he a little tired of being pursued, wants to avoid Lin Zimao’s junior sooner?”
“If Junior Lin declares that he wants to pursue me, I can personally pack and deliver myself to his doorstep that same evening, Jiang Xuan is really lucky, I just saw Junior Lin Zimao standing up for Jiang Xuan on the forum.”
“Who makes someone look good and have a good family background, he’s also a genius in mecha design.”
“So envious.”
“So jealous.”
This morning Jiang Xuan prepared lunch for the two of them, and the lunch boxes were all in Lin Zimao’s bag.
Lin Zimao has been very high-profile in ‘pursuing’ Jiang Xuan, the whole class knows that he now brings his own food, and works very hard to pursue School Grass Jiang, many people felt sorry for him, it is said that the food cooked by Lin Zimao is very delicious, when will they have the opportunity to try it?
Today, the one who rushed out of the classroom first in the mecha maintenance class is also him.
Some students said: “If someone as awesome as Lin Zimao pursues me, I can give him my whole heart.”
“Then don’t even think about it, unless you have the beauty of School Grass Jiang, it will be impossible in this life.”
“How did Lin Zimao take a fancy to him?”
“If you were famous, would you choose little flower or little grass? Of course, want to challenge the highly difficult one!”
“It seems to make sense, just now he even took action because someone insulted Jiang Xuan.”
“Awesome, so dedicated.”
“However, if Lin Zimao chases Jiang Xuan for a long time but fails to catch him, do you think he will give up?”
“It sounds exciting if he fail to catch him, if even those with Lin Zimao’s condition can’t catch up with the school grass, we will have no regrets in life.”
“Hahahahaha…”
Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan knew nothing about the people who discussed the development of their relationship behind their backs.
Jiang Xuan didn’t invite Lin Zimao to the cafeteria today, and went to the Sky Bridge instead.
Many students like to sit at the dining table on this covered bridge and enjoy the scenery while eating, but most of them are lovers.
Generally, people who don’t want to be abused dogs2虐狗 (nüè gǒu): (literally) to torture a dog; (neologism, slang, humorous) to torture the “single dog” (單身狗), i.e. to “torture” an unpartnered person by publicly displaying one’s affection in a couple. don’t want to come here.
Lin Zimao looked at the place chosen by Jiang Xuan, he’s in a good mood, but does this mean that they have to show everyone the fact that they are together, although it is a little fast, it doesn’t matter.
Lin Zimao followed the route map and found the Sky Bridge.
Jiang Xuan arrived before him.
As soon as he appeared, all the lovers stopped feeding each other, no longer whispering sweet nothings3卿卿我我 (qīng qīng wǒ wǒ): to bill and coo (idiom); to whisper sweet nothings to one another; whispers of love; lovers’ talk; to bill and coo; to be very much in love; intimate relations; Describes that couples or men and women who are in love are very intimate; The chengyu, or at least the reduplication of 卿, appears to be influenced by a story in the A New Account of the Tales of the World. Wang Rong, one of the Seven Sages (竹林七賢), felt discomfited by his wife calling him 卿, a second-person term of endearment then typically used by the man to refer to the woman (i.e. men’s speech). The wife, in retort, famously said: 親卿愛卿,是以卿卿;我不卿卿,誰當卿卿?, I endear my dear and love my dear, and that’s why I call my dear “my dear”. If I were not to call my dear “my dear”, who else is supposed to call my dear “my dear”?; Here in the construct 卿卿, the first 卿 is used by conversion (or anthimeria) as a verb that means “to call someone by 卿”, which was idiomatic due to the high degree of elasticity of the Chinese language. with each other in a high profile manner, they were extremely curious about what Jiang Xuan was doing here.
This is one of the top ten dating destinations in planet Feige, he couldn’t have asked someone to have a meal here, right!
Wow, the school grass is also off the list?
Everyone is paying attention to Jiang Xuan from the corner of their eyes, he chose a place where two swans were displayed to show love.
Even the location chosen is so eye-catching!
It seems that School Grass Jiang really has someone he likes.
Who in the world could make School Grass Jiang so enamored?
The surrounding couples stopped dating and just stared at Jiang Xuan, for fear of missing some gossip.
Looking right, looking left, finally, the person Jiang Xuan was waiting for has arrived!
Huh?
Isn’t this Lin Zimao who declares that he wants to pursue Jiang Xuan?
It is said that he is very domineering when pursuing people, forcing School Grass Jiang to eat his love lunch, and even warning people to go to hell if they don’t eat it, how could you force the school grass!
Presumably, it was Lin Zimao’s instruction to choose this place today, don’t know what reason he used to coerce Jiang Xuan today.
Now that Lin Zimao is so popular, is he using this to threaten the other party, if he doesn’t accept his pursuit, Jiang Xuan’s daily life will be exposed online?
The young lovers’ imaginations are extremely rich, in short, they believe that Jiang Xuan must have been coerced into going on a date, and it was not voluntary.
But how could Jiang Xuan know that his cooperation with Lin Zimao in playing ‘pursuit’, would cause other people to misunderstood?
If he had known that it’d be like this, he shouldn’t have agreed in the first place, it’s all because he is too soft-hearted, as long as Lin Zimao asks, he can’t refuse, next time, he must stick to his original intention!
Lin Zimao came with their lunch boxes on his back, he didn’t mind carrying them back and forth every day.
Looking at the couples all around him, Lin Zimao asked Jiang Xuan in a low voice: “Why choose here?”
Jiang Xuan glanced at him lightly: “If I don’t choose this place, are you going to choose this place with someone else? Junior Lin Zimao is truly a hundred flowers blooming4百花齊放 (bǎi huā qí fàng): a hundred flowers bloom (idiom); many different sorts of flowers bloom simultaneously; (figuratively) a variety of different artistic styles flourish at the same time; all flowers are in bloom/blossom—free development of all forms and styles of art; flourishing art and literature; Describe the flowers in full bloom and colorful; A metaphor for the free development of various forms and styles of art, it also describes the prosperity of the art world., enjoying the happy fate of the man from Qi5齊人之福 (Qí rén zhī fú): lit. the happy fate of the man from Qi (who had a wife and a concubine) (idiom); fig. (ironically) the joy of having several partners; the life of a pasha..”
Lin Zimao, for the second time, heard Jiang Xuan say he was a hundred flowers blooming, it’s unknown where he was poked again today.
He leaned forward: “Senior Jiang, what are you jealous of? What did I do?”
Jiang Xuan asked him back: “What didn’t you do?”
Lin Zimao felt that he was innocent and shook his head: “I didn’t do anything, I go home at the same time every day, just take classes at school, I asked you out for a meal at noon, you see, my time is all yours, what can I do?”
Jiang Xuan placed his hands on the two white swan statues: “Why did you accept someone else’s roses if you didn’t do anything, even said you wanted to go home with him?”
In the eyes of the lovers, is Jiang Xuan so angry that he is ready to hit Lin Zimao with a statue?
Are they having a fight?
Could it be that School Grass Jiang finally couldn’t stand Lin Zimao, make it clear to him here today, finally eaten a big melon?
Even someone as awesome as Lin Zimao can’t pursue Jiang Xuan!
What kind of person does Jiang Xuan like?
However, it’s better if there’s no accident, School Grass Jiang shouldn’t be a violent person.
But the surrounding people who eat melons are still worried, Lin Zimao is such a good fighter, can Jiang Xuan beat him?
Everyone is here watching, Lin Zimao shouldn’t fight with Jiang Xuan, right?
The parties involved, Lin Zimao and Jiang Xuan will certainly not fight.
Lin Zimao asked Jiang Xuan: “Where did you know that I accepted someone else’s roses?”
Jiang Xuan completely ignored everyone’s gaze, leaned forward, grabbed Lin Zimao’s sleeves, and smelled his cuffs.
“It still smells of roses.”
Lin Zimao said: “Why do you still relying on rumors6靠聞 (kào wén): 靠 means to lean against or on; to depend on; to trust. 聞 means (literary) to hear; to listen; to smell; to detect; to get a sniff at; knowledge; expertise; news; message, so this sentence can also be translated as ‘Why are you still relying on smells’., it’s really not, whoever is spreading rumors, I will confront them, or have you been reading the nonsense posts on the forum again?”
Why is the person he likes really like to eat vinegar7吃醋 (chī cù): lit. eat vinegar; to feel jealous?
Jealous Jiang Xuan is super cute, and it also shows how much he cares about himself.
Often at this time, Lin Zimao couldn’t imagine the days when he would leave him in the future, when he feels sad, will he feel sad too?
Jiang Xuan said: “Didn’t see.” Lin Zimao shines brightly every day, and is getting more attention every day, he just worries too much about gains and losses.
Lin Zimao blinked: “Then you can ask me.”
Jiang Xuan lowered his head and went to the forum to search instead, according to Lin Zimao’s current behavior, probably it’s his own misunderstanding.
The reason why he didn’t dare to look just now was because he suddenly lost his confidence.
Lin Zimao found a more pertinent post and showed it to Jiang Xuan: “This one is the truth.”
【Lin Zimao smashes roses for Jiang Xuan!】
This original poster’s writing style is very good, describes everything in detail from beginning to end.
They are sitting on a bench, and Lin Zimao leaned right up to him: “Why don’t you ask me?”
Jiang Xuan is a little embarrassed now after knowing that he had misunderstood, was he angry with Lin Zimao just now?
Jiang Xuan took the initiative to apologize: “I’m sorry, I should have trusted you.”
Lin Zimao said with a bit of a joke: “Seniors should have confidence in your own face.”
The last thing Jiang Xuan wants to mention now is his own face, the smile that had just begun to spread across his face faded again.
He had a dangerous look in his eye: “Lin Zimao, you only like my face, not me, right?”
Lin Zimao has been enjoying himself quite a bit lately, Jiang Xuan has been following his every move, but don’t know why he suddenly became angry with himself.
In a moment of urgency, Lin Zimao didn’t know how to answer: “No, I like you, your face is also part of your whole being.”
Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart: “You hesitated, the first thing you liked was my face, right?”
What Lin Zimao hesitates about is the future, he likes Jiang Xuan very much, but he is also afraid that he likes him too much and cannot leave: “Why are you talking about this all of a sudden, how about we eat first?”
Jiang Xuan felt that he didn’t seem to care about his feelings: “If I become ugly, if I don’t have this face, if someone better-looking comes along, will you no longer be interested in me, will you stop liking me?”
Lin Zimao shook his head: “It won’t be like that, Jiang Xuan, what’s wrong with you today? I’ve already beaten the guy who insulted you, I won’t like others either.”
Jiang Xuan felt a little angry: “Because their faces are not as good-looking as mine, what if someone more beautiful appears in the future? Will you change?”
Lin Zimao didn’t know what had happened to the usually rational and calm Jiang Xuan.
He stretched out his hand to touch his forehead: “Are you sick?” It’s all starting to sound like nonsense.
Jiang Xuan removed his hand: “I’m not sick.”
Lin Zimao is usually quite good at coaxing Jiang Xuan, he always make him feel comfortable at home, but today he doesn’t know how to coax him.
It is undeniable that there is such a thing as looking at faces, but he didn’t just do it for Jiang Xuan’s face.
If, he told Jiang Xuan it was because his face, separated before their relationship deepened, wouldn’t it be easier in the future?
Lin Zimao also regretted expressing his feelings to Jiang Xuan, it would’ve been better if he had hidden it.
Lin Zimao suddenly moved backward and said: “Yes, I admit, I just like your face.”
Jiang Xuan looked at him coldly, his eyes were filled with hurt: “Lin Zimao, you…”
Lin Zimao shrugged: “This is the truth.”
Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and stood up, stared at Lin Zimao, then turned around and left, his hand also accidentally knocked down Lin Zimao’s half-opened lunch, only a clanging sound was heard, he closed his eyes and didn’t look back!
Lin Zimao really just took a fancy to his face, he actually admitted it!
Jiang Xuan felt like his heart was aching now, he didn’t even have the courage to look back at Lin Zimao, he had never felt so sad and also very angry before.
He didn’t know whether he was angry with himself or Lin Zimao, maybe he wants more, he also wants Lin Zimao to give him the same kind of like, not simply liking his appearance, he wants to go further with Lin Zimao.
But knowing the truth directly from the other party’s mouth, it’s more painful than hurting him, he can’t stay there any longer.
Lin Zimao looked at his leaving figure, his heart was throbbing, the pain was unbearable.
After watching Jiang Xuan disappear from his sight, he squatted down and slowly put the chicken wings that had fallen on the ground back into the lunch box, his eyes were so sour, he lowered his head, and a hot tear dripping on the back of his hand, he rubbed his eyes hard, feeling a little confused for a moment.
No matter how fragrant the chicken wings are, they can’t attract him, because he has made the person who cook them walk away in anger.
Oh, no LZM… Poor JX…
Don’t worry, their quarrel won’t drag on for too long. Today is the new year eve, I wish everyone a great day and even better tomorrow!! Thank you to everyone who buy me coffee, and everyone who always leave comment, it made my day reading it ^^
