Chapter 26: Story 231-238
Translator: Sissy That Walk
[231]

Straight Guy heard that Coquettish Guy was uncomfortable, so he decided to drop by and see him.

Owing to his special status, Domineering Guy seldom went to Coquettish Guy’s on purpose if there wasn’t something significant, for him going in and out of Coquettish Guy’s would be noticed.

Straight Guy stopped by and found Little Chen lying on his bed with a blushing face caused by his fever. “Little Chen, what’s up? Why do you look so sick?”

Shaking his head as a reply, Coquettish Guy replied, “Nothing to worry about. I’m just catching a cold.”

Straight Guy held his hand. “Does Boss know you’re ill so badly? He only knows you’re uncomfortable and he would have definitely rushed here if he knew you’re so sick.”

Coquettish Guy’s face slightly changed. “No, no, you can’t tell him. I’ll be fine before getting back school.”

Straight Guy thought that this might be the love between Boss and Little Chen which he really envied.

“Little Chen,” asked Straight Guy with an objective. “Have you ever thought about getting married with Boss?”

Hearing this, Coquettish Guy was so shocked that he pulled his wounds. Hissing with pain, “Little Zhou, can I be honest with you?”

“Huh?”

“Actually…I’ve been thinking that he and I are bad for each other.”

Little Straight Guy freaked out.

[232]

Straight Guy had something on his mind, and Glass-guy considered it very terrible.

Glass-guy asked Domineering Guy with some devious questions several times, but he also acted cluelessly. “You mean Little Zhou? I don’t think he’s been acting weirdly.”

Glass-guy only thought that Coquettish Guy was unwilling to tell him and slightly sighed with emotion. He said with a rarely-seen worried face, “Zhou Ming, I admit that I was not as good to him as he to me…I need some time to figure it out. I know you and Ji Chen are rather protective of him. Although I can’t promise how deeply I’m in love with him, I’m quite sure that I won’t hurt him. So…”

Domineering Guy felt a little surprised after understanding Glass-guy’s meaning. Although he didn’t know an awful lot about Glass-guy, he knew that it was easy to make friends with Glass-guy, but it was quite hard to make Glass-guy a confidant. That was the reason why he was skeptical of the relationship between Glass-guy and Straight Guy. Now that Glass-guy was so honest with him, he felt somewhat astounded.

“I haven’t told Little Zhou anything,” replied Domineering Guy. “He’s happy when he’s with you. Naive as he is, he isn’t stupid. If you lied to him from start, he wouldn’t fall for you.”

Glass-guy said after thinking for a while, “You’re right. He’s pure but not stupid.” He continued with a somewhat bitter smile, “He’s been preoccupied these days, and now I feel scared suddenly.”

Chapter 8

[233]

Glass-guy deemed that something bad had happened and no way could he stand by and let Straight Guy think alone. Otherwise, things might go by beyond his control.

“Yangyang, I’ll pick you up. Would you like to come here and I’ll cook for you.”

Glass-guy held his cellphone and waited for Straight Guy’s reply after he sent the message. Getting no reply for a long while, he hurriedly called Straight Guy. Then, he heard gasps from Straight Guy, which made him astound for a while.

“Alas? Upperclassman? Hu, hu, I’m running,” said Straight Guy while gasping. “My mom said I’ve gained weight at home and asked me to exercise on the stadium. Hu, Hu…”

Glass-guy said in a softened voice, “You’re running laps on the track field? Can I pick you up?”

It seemed that Straight Guy continued running, for his heavy gasps still went on. Before he could reply, Glass-guy said, “I miss you very much, Yangyang. I really want to meet you.”

Straight Guy stopped running and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “I’m so smelly with my whole body full of sweat. Can I go back for a shower and then meet you?”

Glass-guy said, “No, I love you in every way. I’ll be there in two minutes.”

Straight Guy put his cellphone away, feeling sweet and sour inside. His relationship with the upperclassman was rather stable. If only Boss and Little Chen were like them, alas…

[234]

Glass-guy felt reassuring upon seeing Straight Guy really running and waited for him by the running track with water and towel in his hands. At the sight of upperclassman, Straight Guy quickly finished stretching and stopped running.

Glass-guy accompanied him to walk for relaxing on the running track. Straight Guy took a mouthful of water and then asked, “Upperclassman, why, do you think, one of two people who have had a stable relationship wants to suddenly break up?”

The heart of Glass-guy quivered with panic. “Break up? Yangyang, did you hear or see something strange?”

Straight Guy said, “I can’t think it through, and I feel a little sad.”

Glass-guy dragged Little Straight Guy into his car in spite of them being outside. “You can ask me anything that you don’t understand but just don’t dwell on it by yourself.”

Straight Guy said, “Anything? Then I’ll speak it out…but this must be kept just between us, will you?”

Glass-guy thought Straight Guy might find something out and nodded with his heart aching.

Straight Guy asked, “Why did Little Chen say he is unsuitable for Boss?”

Glass-guy: “…? ? ? ?”

[235]

Glass-guy, who used to have more ideas, found this matter complicated upon hearing what straight Guy said.

“Zhou Ming still doesn’t know of this matter, does he?” asked he.

Straight Guy nodded. “Hence, we can’t tell Boss, either.”

Glass-guy said after pondering over this for a while, “Perhaps, it has something to do with his family background. It’s hard to say about Ji’s family background, too. In my opinion, Ji’s father didn’t interfere in this matter probably because of Zhou Ming’s father. However, rumor has it, Zhou’s father will be transferred to another place. I’m afraid Ji’s father might have said something to Ji… ”

Little Straight Guy suddenly felt frightened. “Well, this, this, this…What should we do?”

Glass-guy said with eyebrows furrowed, “If it’s indeed related to their families, it will be hard to solve.”

Straight Guy felt very sorry for his brothers. Glass-guy came to stroke his back and comforted him. “Don’t be over-worried. They’ll definitely work this out, because they cherish this hard-won relationship the most.”

Straight Guy thought his upperclassman got a point, he hugged Glass-guy’s neck on his own initiative, and sniffed. “Although I haven’t taken a shower, I want to hug you.”

Glass-guy laughed. “I’m ok with that.”

[236]

In the view of Straight Guy, if things went by as the upperclassman had analyzed, the relationship between Boss and Little Chen would probably go down. He really felt sorry for them, so he was low-spirited.

Glass-guy brought him back to take a shower. In order to cheer him up a little bit, Glass-guy said that they would play a game together.

Straight Guy finished the shower, saw Glass-guy sit on the ground with a handle shank in his hand, and walked toward him. “Upperclassman… Ah!”

Straight Guy originally thought that he would hit the ground hard, but he ended up falling into the arms of the upperclassman. As he was about to relax with relief and thought that the upperclassman was so domineering and romantic, he only heard Glass-guy say painfully and reservedly, “Yangyang, please stand up first. You are sitting on my…”

Straight Guy: (?Д?)ノ

[237]

Straight Guy became more likely to be taken advantage when he was depressed. He was concerned about the painful family dramas of his two best friends, but it was improper for him to have an in-depth conversation with any of them involved in, which rather depressed him inside.

Luckily, he had the upperclassman by his side who analyzed the whole thing for him regardless of the pain.

After Straight Guy watched the highs and lows of Boss and Little Chen as an onlooker, he felt that the smooth development between him and the upperclassman turned more precious, and he was happy about this. He had originally thought of avoiding his feelings. Had he not been stimulated by the upperclassman to tell the truth, they would have not been together.

Thus, Straight Guy felt that he should be more initiative. The upperclassman accepted him who had experience in love before, so he ought to warm the upperclassman’s heart by pouring out more enthusiasms to the upperclassman.

Glass-guy was still talking to him but paused a while upon seeing that he was distracted. As a result, Glass-guy was suddenly kissed by him. “How about I calling my mom and saying that I’ll stay here tonight?”

[238]

Having heard that he would spend tonight here, Glass-guy quietly went to the restroom. He checked on his “handle shank”, it turned out that all kinds of functions were good. Glass-guy washed and wiped his hands, put on his glasses, and his mood turned good inexplicably.

Glass-guy found that the ups and downs of his life came so fast these days. Even if their relationship became more stable, he couldn’t slack off. They were in a critical moment. When Straight Guy didn’t pay attention, he kicked the previously prepared “item” under the bed for fear of the little shy Straight Guy might find out. If Straight Guy saw it, he would doubt that Glass-guy had long had this evil thought.

The funny thing was, Straight Guy asked first, “Upperclassman, have you prepared, um, a slippery thing that can be squeezed inside?”

Glass-guy felt the blood almost coming out of his nose, but he held it back and shook his head expressionlessly.

Straight Guy said again in a rather disappointing voice, “Alas? You didn’t get it prepared…So, I guess tonight isn’t the night.”

Glass-guy’s heart quivered, and he thought that he still had a lot to learn about Straight Guy.
