SEBLS Chapter 6

I have a soft spot for you too~

When he returned home in the evening, Zhuang Wu followed Qin Qiyue as promised. As soon as the evening self-study class was over, he hurried to the other’s seat and waited for him, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

Qin Qiyue was very annoyed and didn’t bother to pay attention to him. He could follow him if he wanted.

In the alley, Zhuang Wu complained to Qin Qiyue, “Gege, our examination rooms are so far away. I have to walk a long way to see you. Next time, when I take more exams, I’ll try to be closer to your exam room.”

“Then don’t come. I don’t want you to come see me,” Qin Qiyue said casually.

Zhuang Wu’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond to this sentence. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, “I don’t.”1ZW is saying, I don’t want you to “don’t want me to come see you”.

“……”

If he just kept pestering Qin Qiyue aimlessly, he didn’t know when he would ever catch up with him. Qin Qiyue… was not that easy to catch, so he had to find a way.

“What kind of boys do you like?” Zhuang Wu asked.

Qin Qiyue glanced at him without any emotion. “I don’t like boys like you.”

Damn, Zhuang Wu really didn’t know how to talk to Qin Qiyue. In his previous life, when he was pestering Qin Qiyue on the crew, although Qin Qiyue didn’t like to pay attention to him, at least he wouldn’t be so aggressive.

Could it be that he was too proud and arrogant when he was young, and after entering the entertainment industry, his edges were gradually smoothed out for the sake of reputation? Zhuang Wu was unwilling to be outdone. He couldn’t always be left speechless by Qin Qiyue’s rhetoric.

“I see. You don’t like boys like me. You just like me very much.” Zhuang Wu’s tone seemed to be teasing him. “No matter how much other boys look like me, you’re not interested in them, right?”

Qin Qiyue subconsciously wanted to refute, “It’s you…”

“Were you trying to say, it’s you I have a soft spot for?” Before Qin Qiyue could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhuang Wu, “Okay, I’ll remember that. I have a soft spot for you too~”

 

“What’s wrong with you?” Qin Qiyue was about to be angered to death by Zhuang Wu.

“Is liking you a disease?” Zhuang Wu asked back, “’Cause as long as you’re here, I’ll be sick all the time.”

His face was shrouded in moonlight, and he was staring at the other party with a pair of smiling eyes which seemed to contain unfathomable emotions.

Qin Qiyue looked at him with a changed expression and dissatisfaction on his face. He was obviously angry, but his cheeks turned red at an inappropriate time. Perhaps Qin Qiyue felt his face getting hot and was suddenly afraid that Zhuang Wu would see it, so he turned his face away.

Fortunately, it was night time now so Zhuang Wu didn’t notice that his face was blushing. He only saw Qin Qiyue turning his face away unhappily. He assumed he had made Qin Qiyue angry again.

When they arrived at Qin Qiyue’s door, Zhuang Wu took the opportunity to speak in order to prevent Qin Qiyue from walking in and ignoring him, “Good night, Gege!”

He guessed right. Qin Qiyue really didn’t say anything and closed the door as soon as he entered.

Soon, the school ushered in the monthly exam period. After the review on the previous period, although he didn’t learn a lot, at least he mastered a lot of basics, so he shouldn’t get a particularly low ranking.

When going to the examination room, Zhuang Wu whispered in Qin Qiyue’s ear, “Come on, Gege.”

Qin Qiyue didn’t react much. Zhuang Wu had been hanging around him these past few days. In the beginning, Qin Qiyue always had to retort to him no matter what, but now he was too lazy to say anything sometimes, because he found that no matter what he said, Zhuang Wu would at most be sad for a while, and then he would immediately come to him again as if nothing had happened.

Although Zhuang Wu was a little sad when he didn’t get a response, he was not discouraged. He immediately suppressed his emotions and greeted the other person with a smile.

Zhuang Wu did quite well in the first test, Chinese.

But when he got the English test paper in the afternoon, Zhuang Wu instantly felt that all his efforts during this period had been in vain after glimpsing the questions. There were not many basic questions on the test paper!

When he thought about having to take three consecutive exams with these kinds of questions, he felt like breaking down. He really regretted not studying hard before. How long would it take for him to get closer to Qin Qiyue’s ranking…

In the end, Zhuang Wu had no choice but to finish the basic questions, and then stare at the remaining questions in a daze.

After the exam, Zhuang Wu returned to their classroom, unhappy. Originally, he thought that there was no need to rush and that he could improve his grades little by little until his ranking was close to Qin Qiyue’s. However, this exam made Zhuang Wu clearly realize how bad he was, causing him to almost lose confidence.

The examination room where Qin Qiyue was located was quite a distance away from their classroom, so he came back a little late. When Zhuang Wu saw him come back, he forced himself to cheer up and walked to Qin Qiyue’s seat. The person in front of Qin Qiyue had not come back yet, so Zhuang Wu sat down directly in that person’s seat.

“Gege, how did you do on the exam?” Zhuang Wu asked.

“Not very good,” Qin Qiyue replied.

“I did very badly on the test…” Zhuang Wu automatically ignored Qin Qiyue’s indifference and said to himself, “I want to be ranked closer to you, but it seems a little difficult now… But I will continue to work hard, Gege, just wait until my ranking is close to yours.”

Qin Qiyue was stunned for a moment, then sneered. “Keep dreaming.”

“….”

For the next two days of exams, Zhuang Wu did the same as on the first day. He did the questions he knew first, and there was no need to go back and do the questions he didn’t know because he simply gave up. It was useless to think about them until he had mastered them firmly.

Judging from the level of his current studies, classroom learning alone was definitely not enough, so after this exam, he should discuss with his mother Wen Jia about enrolling in a cram school.

Wen Jia has always hoped that his grades could improve, but she was unwilling to force Zhuang Wu to study. If he took the initiative to request to enroll in a cram school, it would probably be quite easy.

After all the exams were finished, it was Friday afternoon. Hu Jianlong emphasized safety to them and let them go.

Zhuang Wu originally wanted to leave with Qin Qiyue, but Qin Qiyue had probably been really impatient with his pestering, so as soon as Hu Jianlong dismissed the class, Qin Qiyue walked out of the classroom. Hu Jianlong was confused because he had never seen Qin Qiyue so anxious to finish class.

At this time, Zhuang Wu had not packed his things yet. Most of the students in the classroom were still standing while packing their things which covered Qin Qiyue tightly, so Zhuang Wu did not notice that Qin Qiyue had left.

After he was done packing up and went to Qin Qiyue’s seat, he found that his seat was empty.

Zhuang Wu didn’t know how far Qin Qiyue had gone but he wanted to see if he could catch up with him, so he hurried out of the classroom. However, there was no sign of Qin Qiyue in the corridor. It seemed that he would not be able to catch up.

It hasn’t been long since the class was dismissed, and normally he should still be walking in the corridor, but Qin Qiyue was not there. Zhuang Wu knew immediately that he didn’t want to be with him and walked fast on purpose.

Zhuang Wu pursed his lips and clenched his fists slightly.

Qin Qiyue, don’t think about avoiding me from now on. I will always find a way to make you be with me.

There was no evening self-study this Friday, so school ended early. Zhuang Wu knew that Qin Qiyue’s family was still awake, so he knocked on Qin Qiyue’s door when passing by his house.

Soon someone came to open the door. It was Qin Qiyue’s mother, Lin Mengyu. Seeing that the person outside the door was Zhuang Wu, a smile appeared on her face. “Xiao Zhuang, why did you come here? Are you here to look for Qiyue?”

He didn’t come here to find Qin Qiyue. What’s the point of looking for Qin Qiyue at this time?

But Zhuang Wu pretended to be very embarrassed. He nodded before immediately shaking his head. “Auntie… nevermind.”

Lin Mengyu noticed that something was wrong with Zhuang Wu and asked quickly, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“I’m afraid Qiyue-Gege will be angry if I say it.” Zhuang Wu looked worried. Lin Mengyu couldn’t tell at all that he was acting.

“No, I won’t let him blame you. Tell Auntie, what’s wrong?” Lin Mengyu asked.

Seeing that Lin Mengyu was willing to listen to him, Zhuang Wu blurted out everything he wanted to say, “I just want to get along well with Qiyue-Gege, but he always ignores me. Every time I talk to him, his tone is very aggressive, and sometimes he even pretends not to hear me and doesn’t reply.”

After a pause, Zhuang Wu continued, “Several times I went to ask him about some problems, but he refused to teach me and told me not to bother him. Auntie, did I do something wrong? Why does Qiyue-Gege hate me so much?”

After he finished speaking, Zhuang Wu brewed a few tears, which swirled wildly in his eyes without falling. He looked like he wanted to cry but didn’t dare to, feeling extremely aggrieved.

In Lin Mengyu’s eyes, Zhuang Wu has always been a good boy and would never do anything excessive to make Qin Qiyue to target him like this. Hence, when she heard Zhuang Wu say this, Lin Mengyu instantly understood what was going on. It must be that her son was too arrogant and refused to spend more time with Zhuang Wu, which hurt Zhuang Wu’s heart.

Qin Qiyue would have to be taught a lesson later.

“Don’t cry, Xiao Zhuang. This is indeed Qi Yue’s fault. Auntie won’t let you suffer in vain. I will definitely hold Qiyue accountable,” Lin Mengyu comforted him.

Zhuang Wu wiped his eyes and urged Lin Mengyu, “Auntie, don’t blame him… Maybe there’s something wrong with me that’s why Qiyue-Gege is like this, I…”

Lin Mengyu interrupted him, “You’re fine, it’s not your fault, don’t worry, I won’t let Qi Yue blame you.”

It was more or less time to end it, so Zhuang Wu decided to quit while he was ahead. “Okay… thank you, Auntie.”

Just like that, Zhuang Wu went home happily after filing a complaint. Meanwhile, Qin Qiyue was about to be nagged.

The door of the room opened. Qin Qiyue was doing his homework. When he saw Lin Mengyu coming in, he didn’t have time to say anything because Lin Mengyu spoke first and blocked his mouth.

“Why are you avoiding Xiao Zhuang? Why didn’t you teach him how to do his homework? Why didn’t you want to go home with him after school? Why did you speak to him in such an aggressive tone?” Lin Mengyu asked a series of questions as soon as she showed up.

“….”

“Are you one hundred thousand whys2Popular science book and there’s also a youtube channel based on the book, I think.?” Qin Qiyue couldn’t help but frown. “Mom, I don’t like him. Don’t worry about what happens between him and me.”

Lin Mengyu was shocked. “Qin Qiyue! You’re so harsh when you talk to your biological mother, I can’t even imagine how you treat Xiao Zhuang normally.”

“….”

Even though Lin Mengyu hadn’t told Qin Qiyue that Zhuang Wu had been to their house, he had already guessed that it was Zhuang Wu who had reported his case. He was speechless. Why was Zhuang Wu like a lingering spirit?

“You hurt Xiao Zhuang so much, no wonder he cried just now and asked me not to blame you.” Lin Mengyu was still lecturing.

Qin Qiyue’s expression finally changed. “He cried?”

“Yeah, it’s all your fault!” Lin Mengyu loudly accused him. “Qin Qiyue, from now on, you and Xiao Zhuang must go together every day.”
