Chapter 27

Proofreader: Akimi

It was clear that Shi Bufan was trying to hint at and Zhen Yuanbai finally realized what the latter was planning. He said with a straight face, “I’m not going to live in your house.”

Shi Bufan hooked his arm around Zhen Yuanbai’s shoulders and said in regret, “Why not? I have a big house and my bed is also big enough for us. There are also quite a few chefs in the house, so you can eat dishes from different countries if you like. We’re just going Saturday afternoon and coming back Sunday night. If you’re afraid, I’ll have my parents tell your parents about it, ok?”

Zhen Yuanbai said sternly, “I’m not a greedy person.”

With his soft and adorable voice, it was hard to take Zhen Yuanbai seriously. Shi Bufan moved closer and Zhen Yuanbai immediately ducked him, saying, “We’re in school right now. I’m going to get angry.”

“Angry...Well, show me how angry you can get.” Shi Bufan hugged him and said in his ears in a longing tone, “What should I do? I want to hand in my homework. Hand in a lot of homework and make you gasp for air...”

Zhen Yuanbai suddenly pushed Shi Bufan away. The autumn wind blew against his scarlet face and he thought: Why is Annoying Shi that irritating?

When the afternoon arrived, Zhen Yuanbai walked out of the school with Shi Bufan and Zhen Yuanbai had a habit of buying milk tea. He even bought one for Zhen Youxiu. While walking, Zhen Yuanbai suddenly saw a person from afar behind the car looking towards them. He subconsciously looked over to see a plain and simple woman who seemed to be glancing at Shi Bufan.

When the woman met Shi Bufan’s gaze, she seemed to be surprised and quickly moved back.

Zhen Yuanbai thought that the woman was familiar, but couldn’t remember who she was for the time being. He took a sip of the matcha milk tea and slurped a lot of brown sugar tapiocas right then. It was sweet and soft, making him feel deeply satisfied.

Shi Bufan grabbed a lemon black tea and decided to stay as far as he could from the strong scent of milk. While lazily standing there, he said to Zhen Yuanbai, “No wonder I always smell the scent of milk on you. Do you drink milk tea often?”

“Not very often.” Once Zhen Yuanbai said this, he thought it wasn’t too proper, so he added, “I only drank it twice a week, in the past.”

Zhen Yuanbai’s parents didn’t allow them to drink certain beverages, but he and Zhen Youxiu liked it. Therefore, the parents made a rule that they could only drink twice a week. But ever since he dated Shi Bufan, it was a frequent thing for Zhen Yuanbai to drink five times a week.

Zhen Yuanbai subconsciously touched his face and believed that he shouldn’t allow himself or Zhen Youxiu to keep drinking the milk tea anymore.

From afar, Zhen Youxiu made his way over on his bicycle, stopping in front of the two. Lately, Shi Bufan had been handing Zhen Yuanbai over to Zhen Youxiu personally and they were all used to this. Zhen Yuanbai walked over and sat behind Zhen Youxiu while Shi Bufan delivered the milk tea over, saying, “Here. A combination of all the milk teas.”

Zhen Youxiu didn’t act modestly either, grabbing it and placing it in the basket in front of the bike. Without even greeting shi Bufan, he directly pedaled off, making Zhen Yuanbai hurry to wave goodbye at Shi Bufan. The latter watched as they left his vision and then his smile faded.

Zhen Youxiu, this condescending stupid boy. He bought so much milk tea for him, but he didn’t even call him Brother Shi.

His Congming was at least better.

When the bike entered the building, Zhen Youxiu fixed his messy hair and scrunched his brows, saying, “You have been getting closer and closer to Shi Bufan lately.”

“How can you tell that we’re getting closer and closer?”

“Look at your bright smile whenever he’s around.” Zhen Youxiu stared at the elevator button and said, “Has he been stuck to you like glue recently?”

Zhen Yuanbai’s heart thumped and scolded, “Don’t say random things.”

“How do you know this?”

“I’m not a nerd and my world doesn’t revolve around studying either.” Zhen Youxiu pushed the bicycle while Zhen Yuanbai glared.

Zhen Youxiu, this boy, knows everything.

They opened the door to their house and Zhen Youxiu immediately threw his backpack down, taking out his milk tea and returning to his room, sitting down in front of his video game setup. Zhen Yuanbai followed to the door and said, “You’re taking your high school entrance exam next year, so mother and father said you can’t play games anymore.”

“Do you know why you’re stupid?”

Zhen Yuanbai was confused.

“You’re always studying and you need to take some time off.”

Zhen Yuanbai felt a ball of anger in his chest and said, “You’re the stupid one!”

“Since you know I’m stupid, why do you bother to fight with me? This makes you more stupid.”

Zhen Yuanbai froze for 2 seconds before closing the door behind him and then he walked back to his room. But, he returned back and said, “Remember to wash your head! You haven’t washed it in 3 days already! Filthy!”

Zhen Youxiu clutched the video game controller and turned around to look at the door, saying, “I know.”

Zhen Yuanbai angrily returned to his room.

Did Zhen Youxiu eat something he shouldn’t have? He dared to say that to his brother. That’s crossing the line.

Zhen Youxiu grabbed his headphones, wearing it and staring at the screen for a while before he suddenly thought of something. Then, he rolled over to grab his iPad, logging into QQ.

Zhen Yuanbai was unhappy and rolled in bed to vent his anger. He felt that he hadn’t performed to the best of his ability when he was quarreling with Zhen Youxiu. If he was given another chance, he’d make sure Zhen Youxiu concedes.

This stupid child.

He knitted his eyebrows and his heart was burning when his phone suddenly dinged. Zhen Yuanbai received a message and he thought it was Shi Bufan, but it was actually Zhen Youxiu.

Zhen Youxiu: The monthly exam grades came down today and I got bumped down 2 ranks.

Zhen Yuanbai immediately sat up and his anger vanished right away.

He knew it. Zhen Youxiu would never speak to him like that. It turns out that he was in a bad mood.

Zhen Yuanbai: Do you want me to look over your exam?

Youxiu: Once I’m done with this round.

Zhen Yuanbai immediately got ready while Zhen Youxiu threw his iPad to the side, focusing on finishing the round of the game. It didn’t even feel like he cared about his grades dropping.

Zhen Yuanbai didn’t know that Zhen Youxiu had made himself seem tragic in order to prevent Zhen Yuanbai from getting angry at him. Zhen Yuanbai grabbed the notes he had from middle school. He wrote a lot of notes every semester and each book was like a treasure.

He carried his notes to Zhen Youxiu’s room without complaint while the latter took out his exam, sitting down and acting well-behaved. He supported his chin with his hands, listening to Zhen Yuanbai explain the questions. As he explained, Zhen Youxiu suddenly said, “Brother.”

“What?”

“Is there anyone pursuing you in school?”

Zhen Yuanbai was shocked. “Why, why are you asking this?”

“There should be right. Song Mo said...”

“You should call him brother.”

Zhen Youxiu accepted the suggestion and continued, “Brother Song Mo said that someone had written you a love letter in the past, but was caught by the principal. Then he made a strict order through the loudspeakers, preventing everyone from getting too close to you, right?”

This had happened in Zhen Yuanbai’s sophomore year. Back then, he had good grades and was also handsome, his smile like an angel. Therefore, there were certain high school students who were attracted to him, sending him many love letters. Zhen Yuanbai didn’t know what to do, so he collected all of them. After all, it contained people’s thoughts and he felt like he shouldn’t throw it out.

One day, Shi Bufan suddenly begged to be part of the elite class and before that, Zhen Yuanbai didn’t really have much interaction with Shi Bufan. In the beginning, he was scared and disliked Shi Bufan entering Class 1 because the first thing he did when he entered was to force him to hand over all the love letters. Then, Shi Bufan pulled him to the principal, giving the love letters in.

Zhen Yuanbai felt extremely ashamed, but Shi Bufan even kept his head up and chest high, saying, “I believe that the school is a place for students to learn and not to date. Students should place their focus on studying. Regarding Zhen Yuanbai privately accepting the love letters, I am asking the principal to express his attitude about this. Otherwise, everyone will learn Zhen Yuanbai’s ways and the Discipline Department will have to run around all day trying to catch couples.”

The innocent Zhen Yuanbai teared up in the principal’s office. He was embarrassed and afraid. The principal was forced by Shi Bufan and ended up sternly reprimanding Zhen Yuanbai. Shi Bufan said with a cold face, “I think that you should tell the whole school since you have the intention of helping Zhen Yuanbai become the top scorer of the college entrance examination. If someone decides to influence Zhen Yuanbai and cause Shengyi High School to lose the opportunity to show off, I will make sure they pay for it.”

Therefore, the principal angrily grabbed a microphone and announced this with a darkened face, “From now on, whoever dares to be in a romantic relationship or dare to date Zhen Yuanbai, you guys will be immediately expelled!”

Shi Bufan curled his lips up and glared at Zhen Yuanbai. The latter didn’t even know how he offended Shi Bufan, but he kept his head down and tears fell down his face. He clutched his hands, not knowing what to do.

After Shi Bufan left the principal’s office, the principal stood up and walked over, comforting, “That kid has been used to getting his way, but this is also a good thing. From now on, you just need to focus on your studies. Don’t worry. I’m not reprimanding you or anything. I know it’s not your fault.”

“The...”

“I’ll put it in the paper shredder and I won’t look at the letters.” The principal was kind and understanding.

Zhen Yuanbai left the office after thanking him. Meanwhile, Shi Bufan was leaning against the wall with his head down, a leg against the wall. Once he saw Zhen Yuanbai coming up, he looked up. He had thin eyelids and narrow eyes. When he looked at people from the side, it made Zhen Yuanbai feel as if he was the target of a poisonous snake. He didn’t dare to take a step forward which made Shi Bufan laugh suddenly. “Are you unhappy that I got in the way of your possible dating candidates?”

Zhen Yuanbai remained silent while Shi Bufan shoved his hands in his pocket, standing straight. He took out an Alpers candy and sucked it, curling his lips. “So, not only are you a ‘true fool,’ but you’re also a coward.”

He walked towards Zhen Yuanbai and the latter became rigid, staring at Shi Bufan’s muscular arms. He subconsciously took a few steps as Shi Bufan stopped in front of him, tilting his head. “Do you want to hit me, hm?”

Zhen Yuanbai lowered his head and hid his hands, indicating that he didn’t want to hit him. Yet, Shi Bufan didn’t become happy. Instead, he snorted and glared at Zhen Yuanbai furiously before getting on his skateboard and sliding down the stairs.

Zhen Yuanbai sighed heavily in relief and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

Up until Shi Bufan lost his memory, Zhen Yuanbai still didn’t know how he had offended him.

He originally forgot about this but after the reminder, he realized that it wasn’t that easy to forget this. He looked at Zhen Youxiu and said, “That did happen. What’s the matter?”

“I feel like your principal is right.” Zhen Youxiu supported his chin and said, “You’re so stupid, so you’re better off not dating.”

Zhen Yuanbai had been called stupid twice in a day and this made him puff up his cheeks like a dolphin. He suddenly stood up and smacked Zhen Youxiu’s head, saying in disgust, “Your hair is so oily. Disgusting.”

He walked out, leaving Zhen Youxiu there. Then, Zhen Yuanbai used soap to wash his hands.

Zhen Yuanbai didn’t even explain the questions to Zhen Youxiu anymore, walking back to his room and throwing himself on the bed, rolling in happiness. Zhen Youxiu must be angry. Stupid boy.

He rolled over and then suddenly thought of Shi Bufan.

Ever since Shi Bufan lost his memory, his attitude got better and this made Zhen Yuanbai almost forget about how bad Shi Bufan was before.

Zhen Yuanbai suddenly grabbed his phone and opened his WeChat to see Annoying Shi’s name. His mind flashed to the memory of the other party glaring at him fiercely. Then, Zhen Yuanbai pursed his lips and deleted Annoying Shi from his friends.

After he finished deleting it, it made Zhen Yuanbai delighted and feel as if he was over the moon, chuckling.

When Shi Bufan strolled around in the neighborhood in the evening, he encountered a stray cat that was meowing. He touched the cat and suddenly thought of Zhen Yuanbai. Therefore, he took out his phone and snapped a picture of the cat, sending it to Zhen Yuanbai. “There’s a...”

Before he could finish, he saw a red exclamation mark and the message below.

“Engrossed learner” has activated friend verification. You’re not his/her friend yet, so please request a friend verification. Once they accept it, you can chat with them.

Shi Bufan was confused.

A question mark appeared in his mind.

T/N:

OOF, what do you guys think about SBF’s reaction to the love letters? And how do you think SBF would react to being deleted from ZYB’s friend list? Uh oh for ZYB...
