When Xiao Cheng sent Nian Nian back home, he saw a familiar figure from afar in the garden.
He narrowed his eyes, carefully identifying the person, and it was indeed ‘Luo Jingshu’.
“What are you looking at, Brother Cheng?” Luo Jingshu asked, following Xiao Cheng’s gaze, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then he calmly blocked Xiao Cheng’s line of sight.
Xiao Cheng returned to his senses, “Is that Luo Jingshu?”
It had been a while since he last saw the protagonist shou, and Xiao Cheng had almost forgotten about the plot. But seeing the protagonist shou again, he remembered the existence of the scumbag gong.
Tomorrow, he still had to have dinner with the scumbag gong.
Xiao Cheng’s mood was a bit complicated, and he gazed at Nian Nian’s exceptionally handsome face, feeling worried again.
“Do you know… how Luo Jingshu has been lately?”
The person in front of him curved his lips, his face leaning in closer, completely blocking his view of ‘Luo Jingshu’. “Brother Cheng, I’m not very concerned about Luo Jingshu’s situation, I don’t know much about it.”
Xiao Cheng wasn’t asking about that, he just wanted to know if Jiang Ying was bothering Luo Jingshu, and if he would take a liking to Nian Nian.
After all, based on Xiao Cheng’s own aesthetic, he would definitely choose Nian Nian between ‘Luo Jingshu’ and Nian Nian.
“Are you concerned about him, Brother Cheng?”
Hearing Nian Nian’s tone, which seemed a bit unhappy, Xiao Cheng quickly smiled and said, “I don’t even know him, why would I be concerned?”
“I’m only concerned about you.”
His eyes sparkled with a smile, and his voice was low and gentle, like coaxing a child.
Luo Jingshu’s heart moved slightly, and he suddenly wrapped his arm around Xiao Cheng’s waist, his chin resting on Xiao Cheng’s shoulder, his lips lightly brushing against Xiao Cheng’s ear.
“Brother Cheng is really good to me.”
Xiao Cheng’s ears felt like they were on fire, and they quickly turned bright red. He placed his hand on Nian Nian’s back, gently patting it, “Because Nian Nian is worth it.”
Luo Jingshu curved his eyes, hoping that Xiao Cheng would still say that after knowing the truth.
He stuck out his tongue, licking Xiao Cheng’s earlobe, and then quickly withdrew, lightly laughing.
Xiao Cheng’s body stiffened, and he wasn’t a match for Luo Jingshu’s boldness.
“Nian Nian…”
Xiao Cheng’s voice was hoarse, and his eyes had an unconscious flush, his hand on Nian Nian’s back tightened slightly.
Luo Jingshu flirted with him, and then quickly retreated, creating distance between them. “Brother Cheng, you should head back.”
Xiao Cheng tightly gazed at his face, and when his eyes met Nian Nian’s smile, he suddenly sighed in relief.
“Are you on break this weekend?”
Nian Nian was a high school student who only had two days off a month. Calculating the time, it should be this weekend.
“Yeah.” Luo Jingshu smiled, “Do you have something, Brother Cheng?”
“Want to go pick some fruit with me?”
A few days ago, Xiao Yu had called him, asking him to take some time to accompany his mother to relax. Xiao Cheng thought, why not bring Nian Nian along?
Luo Jingshu’s face was full of smiles, “Just the two of us?”
Xiao Cheng: “No, my parents and my sister will be there too.”
Luo Jingshu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his smile faded a bit, looking embarrassed.
“Brother Cheng, I don’t know your parents. Would it be awkward if I went with you?”
Xiao Cheng wanted to bring Nian Nian to relax, and he was also afraid that it would be unnatural to interact with his parents. Hearing Luo Jingshu’s concerns, he followed along, saying:
“If you feel uncomfortable, we can take a different route.”
They could meet up at the fruit garden.
Luo Jingshu was worried that someone would recognize him, exposing his identity prematurely and ruining the game.
“I’ll listen to Brother Cheng.”
Xiao Cheng sighed in relief, “I’ll come pick you up then.”
After agreeing on a time, Xiao Cheng felt a bit excited. Although his parents would be there, this was his first date with Nian Nian, and it was important.
Until he returned to his dorm, Xiao Cheng’s face still had an uncontrollable smile. When he opened the door, he found the atmosphere in the dorm a bit strange.
Jiang Zihe made eyes at him, Fang Hui, who usually greeted him first, was silent, and Du Yunshen didn’t even look at him.
Xiao Cheng didn’t mind, he just felt that there was something strange between Fang Hui and Du Yunshen.
Fang Hui seemed to be avoiding eye contact with Du Yunshen, and Du Yunshen, who usually loved to study, wasn’t reading, his gaze fixed tightly on Fang Hui.
It was like they were a couple.
Xiao Cheng looked at himself, feeling a bit slow, but he was surprisingly perceptive when it came to other people’s relationships. His gaze moved back and forth between Fang Hui and Du Yunshen, and he had a rough idea.
Fang Hui felt uncomfortable under his gaze, “Brother Cheng, where did you go?”
“I went to find Nian Nian.”
Xiao Cheng’s feet still hurt, and standing for a long time was uncomfortable. He relaxed his body, lying down on the chair, his fingers interlaced, quietly gazing at the two people in front of him.
Fang Hui became even more uneasy, “What are you looking at me for?”
“Where did you go last night?”
Xiao Cheng cleared his throat, remembering that Fang Hui had scolded him for being a scumbag last night. This matter needed to be clarified.
“I just went for a walk.”
Xiao Cheng’s eyes sparkled with a smile, examining Fang Hui’s expression, “You must have misunderstood what happened last night.”
“I was talking about a friend of mine, it has nothing to do with me.”
Fang Hui said, “Ah, I know, I was just joking.”
Xiao Cheng stared at him for too long, and his face turned red.
Xiao Cheng hadn’t had a chance to respond when Du Yunshen moved his gaze away from Fang Hui, turning to look at Xiao Cheng. His eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes filled with a bit of hostility.
Was he that jealous?
Xiao Cheng swore, he just wanted to clarify things with Fang Hui, after all, no man liked being misunderstood as a scumbag when he hadn’t done anything.
Du Yunshen and Fang Hui definitely had something going on.
Xiao Cheng withdrew his gaze, catching a glimpse of Du Yunshen giving Fang Hui another strange look.
The smell of love was sour.
Xiao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and Nian Nian’s image appeared in his mind.
He also wanted to date Nian Nian.
The atmosphere between Fang Hui and Du Yunshen remained off until the next day, when they went to eat.
Jiang Zihe originally wanted to sit with Fang Hui, but Xiao Cheng pulled him back, grabbing the back of his collar.
“We can’t fit, let’s just take another car.”
Jiang Zihe exclaimed, “But I can sit in the back, and Xiao Cheng can sit in the front, can’t we?”
Where was there not enough space?
Xiao Cheng didn’t explain and closed the car door.
After the car drove away, Jiang Zihe asked, puzzled, “Why did you make them go together?”
Xiao Cheng looked at him with a “what’s wrong with you” expression, and couldn’t help but sigh. Poor that sophomore senior, how could he like Jiang Zihe, a straight man?
“Why did you want to sit with them?”
Jiang Zihe straightened his back, with a righteous expression, “They were fighting, and I was afraid the atmosphere would be too awkward. I had to liven it up for them!”
Xiao Cheng patted Jiang Zihe’s shoulder, “You don’t understand.”
Jiang Zihe: ???
How could he not understand?!
Xiao Cheng didn’t explain, and just smiled, “You’ll know later.”
After Fang Hui and Du Yunshen got together, Jiang Zihe finally understood.
Jiang Zihe’s face was full of discontent, “You only said half of what you meant, and now you can’t find an object to talk to…”
Xiao Cheng slapped his back hard as soon as he finished speaking, almost making him fall forward.
“What are you…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Zihe saw Xiao Cheng’s serious expression, saying, “Children’s words are innocent, children’s words are innocent.”
???
Oh, he forgot, Xiao Cheng was still chasing after the beautiful girl from the art academy.
It was his fault for saying the wrong thing:）
“The car is here.”
Jiang Zihe coughed, deciding to forget about what just happened, “Let’s hurry up and go.”
Xiao Cheng only remembered to ask him after getting into the car, “Why did your brother want to invite us to dinner?”
“Just because he wanted to.”
Jiang Zihe actually didn’t understand what his brother was thinking, and thought Xiao Cheng was worried that Jiang Ying would have opinions about him, so he comforted him:
“Don’t worry, my brother isn’t that petty.”
Xiao Cheng said nothing, and Jiang Zihe almost forgot that he had called Jiang Ying “Uncle Jiang” before.
No way, he didn’t really care about people who weren’t important to him.
“I’m not worried.”
Xiao Cheng leaned back in his seat, lazily closing his eyes, resting them.
Jiang Zihe smiled, “My brother actually quite admires you.”
“He even asked me about you that day at Luo’s house.”
Xiao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.
