Ch 23

Lou Cheng took a look at Ding Xuerun’s expression and noticed that he was relaxed and focused. It appeared that he was the only one who felt strange? He felt strange, but he didn’t want to take his hand. He felt electricity from the hand, and there was a tinge of shyness in his heart. Why did he think of Xiao Ding this way?

Ding Xuerun let him go as soon as the teacher entered the classroom. Lou Cheng rubbed his hands while feeling a bit lost. He lowered his head and smelled them, then frowned and asked, “Why does it smell different from the smell on your hands?”

“Yours seems to smell better.” He said firmly.

Ding Xuerun lowered his voice as he read the text: “That’s because you have sweat on your hands.”

Lou Cheng choked and seemed to realize why he felt so slippery and greasy. It turned out to be sweat!

It is customary for students to send apples to one another on Christmas Eve.

It’s on the weekend, so there’s no class, but there is an evening self-study session.

Ding Xuerun came early in the afternoon and already saw a lot of delicately packaged apples on Lou Cheng’s table. Beautiful box, tied with a bow with ribbons.

After a while, a girl from another class sneaked in and asked: “Classmate, is this Lou Cheng’s seat? Can you give this to him for me?”

Ding Xuerun lifted his eyes and saw that it was an apple again with a small confession card.

“Just put it on his desk.”

Lou Cheng’s desk and drawers were already stuffed, and the girls hadn’t even let go of his chair.

Ding Xuerun didn’t exaggerate as much as he did. He also received a few apples. They were given by the girls in the class. They looked like those sold in the stationery shop outside. The boxes were not as exquisite as those on the Lou Cheng table and their purpose was also different. Zhao Mansha who sat in front of him said, “You’ve given me a lot of pens. It’s a matter of reciprocity – it’s better to send apples today.”

He took a picture of the grand occasion on Lou Cheng’s desk. It took Lou Cheng a long time to reply, but he couldn’t get to the point: “Xiao Ding, you want to go out at night? There’s a Christmas Eve event in sailing square. I’ll pick you up.”

Ding Xuerun said no.

“You have to do your homework, don’t you? Then I’ll bring you to the New Year’s Eve during the New Year’s holiday.”

When Lou Cheng arrived at class the next day, he happened to see two girls who were seeking advice from Ding Xuerun. Ding Xuerun was very kind to them. When he spoke on the subject, his voice was gentle, and the two girls were serious as well, occasionally asking, “Is that m in the midpoint of Bc? Or…”

Lou Cheng couldn’t understand what they were saying. He sat down and greeted Ding Xuerun with a good morning. He wasn’t sure if he was being too serious, so he didn’t get a response. Lou Cheng was upset, but he didn’t disturb him talking to others.

After a while, he finished speaking, and the two girls suddenly realized: “It turned out to be like this. I didn’t understand what Teacher Huang said for a long time. Classmate Ding is so good at it. I can do it as soon as you talk about it.”

Lou Cheng turned his head and sneered. This rainbow farts, how can it be so powerful, it’s not because Xiao Ding is a good person and good-looking, or his temper is good.

Ding Xuerun was originally good-looking, but he could not be described as the type who attracted girls because he was too thin and not strong enough. Furthermore, when he first arrived at the school, he had a wound on his face and was reticent, which made people uncomfortable, so he didn’t make any friends.

But now things are different. As soon as the aura of God-learning is enveloped, even ordinary people have shining points, not to mention that Ding Xuerun is so white, and his voice is gentle and patient. Naturally, someone asks him questions from time to time.

Lou Cheng was quite calm at first because he is used to this kind of thing now.

However, he was not at all calm when he saw Ding Xuerun take two packaged apples from the drawer and hand them to them.

Lou Cheng looked at the same two girls again, but his heart was telling him something was wrong. Is there any advantage besides studying well? Ding Xuerun was very coquettish, sending them both at the same time and in front of two people.

Taking advantage of Ding Xuerun’s time to hand in his homework, he peeked at his drawer, and when he saw two apples left, he was relieved——this should be for him, right?

He was always there, so he waited the entire morning! He witnessed Ding Xuerun giving the two apples to the female classmates in the class once more.

F*ck! This is too playful! ! How could he flirt like this with girls in the same class? ? ? Indecent! ! !

Lou Cheng couldn’t control his rage as he gnawed loudly on an apple given to him by someone he didn’t know.

Lou Cheng followed Ding Xuerun back to the dormitory at noon in retaliation. When he noticed that there were still a few apples on the table, and he calmed down a bit: “There are two not good-looking girls in the class. Ding Xuerun picked up the ugly ones. Two of them are slightly better-looking, and there are three here. At least one is his own, right?”

He doesn’t know why he’s obsessed with such a little thing.

Unable to hold back, Lou Cheng pretended to ask: “Aren’t you forget something?”

“What?” Ding Xuerun was about to take a nap, and he was changing clothes.

Lou Cheng didn’t look at it, nor did he look at it. He glanced at the dazzling whiteness of his back: “Don’t  you remember anything?”

“Remember what?”

Lou Cheng was completely speechless, suffocating in his heart. He said hoarsely: “It’s nothing.”

He didn’t change the sheets and covers, so he doesn’t want to sleep. He kept playing with his mobile phone at noon. For some reason, he secretly hid Ding Xuerun’s glasses next to his pillow. 

The alarm woke Ding Xuerun up at 1:30 p.m. He couldn’t find his glasses when he got up. He got out of bed and looked around for a while, but couldn’t find it: “Where did it go?”

He always keeps things neat and tidy, never misplaces or loses anything.

“Lou Cheng, did you see my glasses?” He was still in a hurry to get to the classroom by two o’clock, so he changed his clothes quickly, looking for glasses as he did so.

Lou Cheng said: “You didn’t find it?”

“No, did you see it?”

“Then come here.” Lou Cheng sat on the chair with his feet on the table.

Ding Xuerun reacted at once: “Do you have it?”

“On me,” Lou Cheng opened his arms and raised his eyebrows, “Come and find it.”

Ding Xuerun’s clothes were half changed and his coat was not worn, he sighed and walked over: “Why are you hiding my glasses? It’s fun?”

Lou Cheng looked up at him. Ding Xuerun’s appearance is very beautiful without glasses, because his eyes were very beautiful, big and black and crystal clear, like two pills of black mercury.

Lou Cheng felt aggrieved in his heart: “Xiao Ding…you haven’t come to my house in a long time to make me breakfast, and the ingredients in the fridge at home have gone bad.”

“Recently, I was extremely preoccupied with the competition.” He approached Lou Cheng and extended his hand, “Give me the glasses.”

“No,” Lou Cheng shook his head, looking like a rascal, “If you want glasses, you can get them on your own. It’s on me anyway.”

Ding Xuerun’s nearsightedness is only 200 meters. In fact, he can see clearly. He feels there should be nothing on Lou Cheng, but he still bent down to find it.

Started from his pocket.

Lou Cheng suddenly touched by his waist, “Ai yo,” he said: “It’s itchy.”

Ding Xuerun touched his trouser pocket silently with a straight face. Lou Cheng’s two long legs that stretched out on the table became stiff. He felt miserable for a while, and his throat became dry: “Don’t… touch it.”

Ding Xuerun was unmoved: “It’s not on you, where is it?”

Lou Cheng hummed: “It’s on me. If you don’t believe me, search again.”

Ding Xuerun initially thought he was childish, as naive as a primary school student, and deliberately hid things, but there was always a limit, knowing when enough was enough. He hadn’t expected Lou Cheng to be so naive.

“Forget it,” Ding Xuerun glanced at the time, “It’s already 1:50, I’m going to the classroom, you’d better bring it to me later.” It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t wear his glasses for a while, but he’s in the last row and can’t see the blackboard.

He stared at Ding Xuerun putting his clothes on and when he was about to leave, he didn’t take the apple on the table, indicating that it wasn’t for him. Lou Cheng was sulking, and as he walked past him, he purposefully extended his hand and tugged.

Lou Cheng yanked him onto himself, his long arms trapped him, and refused to let him go: “Don’t you forget something?” His voice fell in Ding Xuerun’s ears, and he took a warm breath, ” Did you fall in love with any girl in our class?”

“What are you talking about?” Ding Xuerun’s head was pressed by him in his arms, Lou Cheng hugged him without hesitation and said bitterly: “You still pretend not to understand, I saw you giving them apples in the morning, scumbag! Don’t you know that they are good friends? You are not afraid of overturning!”

“It was a gift in return.”

Lou Cheng froze suddenly: “…” 

“They gave it to me yesterday but I didn’t prepare anything. I bought it at the fruit shop this morning.” Ding Xuerun explained.

Lou Cheng couldn’t believe it: “All of them likes you?”

“…You think too much, they are all classmates.” He lay on Lou Chen and was out of breath.

“I am a classmate too and your deskmate, why don’t you buy it for me?”

“An apple, as for?” Ding Xuerun could almost hear Lou Cheng’s heartbeat. By this time, he was no longer in a hurry. He propped himself up on his shoulder and said, “You want to eat?  I’ll go to the fruit store and buy it for you.”

He placed his hands on Lou Cheng’s shoulders, bowed slightly, and stared at him with clear eyes.

Lou Cheng had no thoughts at first, and when he looked him in the eyes, he panicked. Ding Xuerun was too close, and his eyes were so beautiful and so focused, it seemed…as if he was about to kiss him.

Ding Xuerun applied lip balm before nap. He hated the feeling of being parched in the winter. Many girls didn’t pay attention to the details, but he was very attentive. His lips were very ruddy and not dry at all.

Lou Cheng stared in a daze, feeling that Xiao Ding’s lips looked very soft.

The door to the dormitory was suddenly knocked just as Lou Cheng was getting close to Xiao Ding.

As if he knew who it was, Ding Xuerun straightened up and patted Lou Cheng’s head twice, “I can’t be late. Please remember to bring my glasses with you.”

Lou Cheng blankly said “um,” and when Ding Xuerun opened the door, he saw who was standing outside, and his rage welled up.

It turned out to be that b*tch Chen Zhibang! ! !

He actually came to ask Ding Xuerun to go to the classroom with him! Shameless!

Chen Zhibang’s expression changed slightly when he saw him.

Lou Cheng quickly got up and hurriedly cleaned up, when he wants to chase them, both of them were already far away.

He had long legs and ran faster. When he entered the classroom, he didn’t see Ding Xuerun and Chen Zhibang; he had no idea where they were going.

When the class bell rang, Ding Xuerun and Chen Zhibang rushed into the classroom.

Ding Xuerun was still panting when he sat down. Before taking out the book, Lou Cheng grabbed his arm and asked, “Why do you go with that stupid Chen Zhibang? Did you know that stupidity is also contagious?”

“I usually do. When I went to the classroom alone, he came to call me, and we just go together.” Ding Xuerun said, suddenly stuffed something in Lou Cheng’s hands.

Lou Cheng looked down and saw that it was a red apple, a red apple that was as red as Ding Xuerun’s face at the moment.

“The packaged ones from the fruit shop are all sold out, so I’ll pick you a good-looking one.” Ding Xuerun explained.

Lou Cheng’s heart warmed, and he didn’t feel so angry. He put Ding Xuerun glasses on his desk and said, “Why did Chen Zhibang follow you? What did he say to you?”

Ding Xuerun put on his glasses, took out his textbook, and turned to the lesson, and without raising his head said: “He told us not to be together.”

“!” Lou Cheng almost slapped the table, so he picked up an eraser and smashed it over.

He is a great pitcher, and Chen Zhibang cried out in pain, touching the back of his head and looking back.

Ding Xuerun glanced at him: “Why are you hitting others?”

“He is nosy.” Lou Cheng was a little confused, blushing like the color of the apple, it turned out…that’s how other people viewed his pure friendship with Xiao Ding.

The author has something to say: 

Lou Cheng: Who, who promised to be with you, shameless…
