No wonder Shi Bufan thought he had gotten a huge advantage when he first kissed Zhen Yuanbai. No wonder Shi Bufan felt like a little bird was singing within his hearts whenever he was with Zhen Yuanbai. No wonder when he said to confirm their relationship, he thought about dating Zhen Yuanbai...
As it turned out, he had been thinking about these things countless times in his subconscious mind.
Zhen Yuanbai had been faintly sighing, his heart beating quickly. Someone would occasionally pass by the stairs and they were hiding underneath the stairs. Therefore, they’d be caught immediately if someone finds out and their parents would also be informed.
Shi Bufan placed his chin on Zhen Yuanbai’s forehead and then he pecked him, and then again.
It seemed like his heart was full. Shi Bufan didn’t want to kiss Zhen Yuanbai once, or twice, or a hundred times, or even a thousand times.
Yet, Zhen Yuanbai got more and more nervous as Shi Bufan kissed him. “Ok, ok. Let’s go eat, ok?”
“No.” Something seemed to be stuck in Shi Bufan’s throat and he pursed his lips, wanting to control himself, but he couldn’t help but say, “I miss you so much.”
Zhen Yuanbai glanced at him.
He asked again, “Do you miss me?”
“I want to eat.” Zhen Yuanbai said in a very low voice because he was scared of someone hearing their conversation. “Let’s go to the canteen. I’m hungry.”
Shi Bufan’s face darkened and he said, “I’ll let you go once you say you missed me.”
Zhen Yuanbai held back his tears and said, “I miss you, I miss you, ok? Can we go now?”
Shi Bufan was very displeased and he asked, “What do you mean by ‘ok?’”
Zhen Yuanbai almost couldn’t hold it in anymore as his body was violently shaking. He inquired with a serious face, “What exactly do you want me to do?”
Shi Bufan’s eyelashes flickered and he said softly, “I want you to say it genuinely.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhen Yuanbai pursed his lips firmly and glared at Shi Bufan as if he had been wronged badly. He said incomparably seriously, “I really don’t miss you. I just want to go to the canteen to eat.”
Shi Bufan’s Adam’s apple bobbed and his gaze turned fierce, as if he was about to punch someone at any time. Zhen Yuanbai’s tears slipped out of his eyes and Shi Bufan’s expression froze. Then he reached over and wiped his tears, saying, “If you don’t want to, it’s fine. Why are you crying? Grow up.”
“Ok, let’s just go together. Why are you being so mean?!”
“Because I want to.” Shi Bufan said fiercely, “You dare say another word?”
Zhen Yuanbai said nothing.
If he can’t offend him, can’t he just hide from him?
If Shi Bufan scolds him, he’ll try to stop talking to him. Don’t talk to him and stop interacting with him. When the time comes, maybe he didn’t even need to mention breaking up before their relationship becomes practically non-existent.
With this thought in his mind, Zhen Yuanbai left as soon as school ended. Shi Bufan thought he was just going out to eat and that he would return to class after he finished eating. However, he waited a good half hour, but still didn’t see Zhen Yuanbai returning for the evening study session.
Up until the evening study session ended, he just realized that he had been stood up.
Around 11:30pm, Ye Lian lied on the basketball field, panting. He felt like he was practically a role model for good brothers. The moment Shi Bufan called him, he came out. Without another word, they ended up playing 2 hours of basketball and he was soaked in sweat right now.
A bottle of water appeared above him and Ye Lian, panting, reached over and sat up, saying, “Do you feel better now? Can you tell me what happened?”
Shi Bufan sat cross-legged across from him and his soaked hair was in front of his forehead, his thick eyelashes concealed the surging emotions in his eyes. “Nothing, I’m just annoyed.”
Ye Lian gurgled the water and adjusted his breath before casually asking, “You remembered everything?”
Shi Bufan immediately glanced at him and asked, “Is it that obvious?”
Ye Lian suddenly burst into an uncontrollable episode of laughter, saying, “The way you glance at Zhen Yuanbai makes it seem like you want to eat him up. Only he’s stupid and can’t see through that.”
Shi Bufan glanced expressionlessly at him while Ye Lian coughed, his smile fading. “Aren’t you guys in a pretty good relationship? So what if your memory recovered? Just talk to him and he will accept it.”
“You don’t understand.” Shi Bufan drank a sip of water and quietened again.
Ye Lian touched his chin and said, “Actually, I know what you’re thinking about. You’re in a dilemma. When you lost your memory, you didn’t know that he used to hate you. But after you recover your memory, you obviously know. Now, do you think that he’s lying to you while you lost your memory? I actually can’t tell if he truthfully likes you or not... but it’s fine. As long as you like him. After all, you have him right now. Just keep it up. Even if he doesn’t like you, keep this up until he likes you.”
A flicker of disdain slid by Shi Bufan’s face and he said, “I don’t care if he likes me or not. It’s not like no one likes me.”
“Oh.” Ye Lian was confused. “So, you didn’t call me because of this. I originally thought that you want me to come up with an idea.”
“Are you looking for a beating?” Shi Bufan impatiently looked over while Ye Lian smiled again. “Look at you. You’re angry again. You can’t be like this. You finally got Zhen Yuanbai and by doing this, you’re going to be letting him go again.”
“I don’t care about him that much.”
“If you don’t care, then break up with him.” Ye Lian said purposefully, “Since you’ve said this, I’m not going to keep this from you anymore. In reality, I think this sister-in-law isn’t the best for you. Tell me truthfully. I really don’t know why you had taken a fancy to him. He has an ordinary family and at most, he only has good grades. What’s useful with having good grades? You have a wealthy family, so you won’t be lacking people with good grades working for you in the future. There are a bunch of people just like Zhen Yuanbai. Plus... tch, I don’t even want to talk about him. Calling him a bookworm is praising him. He’s basically a fool and a coward. He has a pretty appearance and nice skin and big eyes, but you also have that. Plus, you’re more handsome than he is. Compared to you, he’s just an ugly...”
“Who the hell are you saying is ugly?!” Shi Bufan couldn’t hold this in anymore and threw a water bottle in Ye Lian’s direction. You want to cry, right?”
Ye Lian raised his arm to duck this, but he almost laughed out loud as well. He said in a proper manner, “What? Didn’t you say you don’t care about him? What’s wrong with me insulting him?”
“He’s much prettier than you.” Shi Bufan placed the bottle again and became silent again.
Ye Lian sighed and said, “If you care about him, forget the face that he doesn’t like you. Don’t put him in a difficult situation because of this. Plus, you always bully him, so it’d be strange if he likes you. It’s pretty good that he’s even willing to date you. Why don’t you take this chance to get him in bed and get a taste of him. Let me analyze this. I think it’s because you haven’t gotten a taste of him that you’re acting like this. Even if you actually did, you’d notice that it’s just as you normally expected it to feel like.”
Shi Bufan said nothing.
Ye Lian continued, “Speaking of which, why is he willing to date you? I don’t understand this at all. Why was he suddenly the first one to visit you after you got in an accident? What happened?”
“He was the one that pushed me down.”
Ye Lian was shocked and he asked, “Really? He’s that brazen?”
“Mhm.”
He couldn’t remember the exact date, but he remembered that there was a small drizzle and the floor was still wet. Because he was supposed to have a fight that day, he was on his skateboard, attempting to cross through the slope and into the forest as a shortcut. Coincidentally, he met Zhen Yuanbai on his way.
The latter had earbuds in his ears and he was muttering something as if he was memorizing some phrases. He slid by Zhen Yuanbai’s side and called him, but obtained no response. Therefore, he pulled the latter’s earbuds down which startled Zhen Yuanbai. After seeing that it was him, his face slightly paled.
“What, what happened?”
“Why are you walking here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I was thinking about walking home today. There aren’t that many people here and it’s not noisy.”
Going back through the slope was indeed much quieter than crossing the road. Shi Bufan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you know what I’m going to do right now?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’m going to fight.” Shi Bufan said, “Don’t go this way. Go home.”
Zhen Yuanbai would need at least another 20 minutes or so if he walked back to the school door at this point. He softly said, “I won’t get in your way.”
“You’re not going to get in my way? How?” Shi Bufan said gloomily, “Just looking at you is influencing my performance. If I can’t beat them up, I’ll beat you up.”
Zhen Yuanbai stood there innocently and confused, expressing shyly, “I’m going to turn the corner in front.”
“Who allowed you to walk here? Don’t you know that it’s my territory?” Shi Bufan glanced at the water vapor in Zhen Yuanbai’s eyes and tsked. “You’re indeed a ‘true fool.’ Quickly scram.”
After saying that, Shi Bufan got on his skateboard and prepared to leave, but the nickname had hit Zhen Yuanbai’s sore spot. He glanced up with his long eyelashes and gazed at the young man’s tall figure, grabbing the strap of his backpack tightly.
Shi Bufan slowly slid down the slope when he heard footsteps behind him. He subconsciously turned around and a pure white hand reached towards him, along with an angry response. “You’re the real fool!! Whenever you reincarnate, you’re the real fool!!”
Shi Bufan didn’t expect this and the skateboard suddenly made a turn on the slope and he felt a sense of dizziness taking over him. Then, he felt a tinge of pain behind the back of his head.
Shi Bufan suddenly paused and he subconsciously touched the back of his head. It really hurt. Zhen Yuanbai’s rush of adrenaline really isn’t to be underestimated. Plus, he was standing on the skateboard, so he really didn’t have a chance to retaliate before he was pushed down, helpless like paper.
Ye Lian was still shocked by Zhen Yuanbai’s brazenness as he said, “You guys have quite the beef and he dares to stroll around in front of you and date you... he’s only doing this because you lost your memory. But what exactly do you think about this? When I went to eat lunch, he seemed to be crying. Are you bullying him because you hate him or because he doesn’t like you?”
Shi Bufan stood up and said, “Let’s go back.”
“F*ck.” Ye Lian hurried over and chased after him, saying, “You can’t just tease, but not tell everything. There are a lot of questions that I want to ask. What is exactly going on between you two? A rabbit like him has been forced to bite someone, but in the end, he dares to date you as if nothing happened. With your aggressive attitude, how come you didn’t take revenge on him? Especially since he had hit you and even dares to stroll around in front of you.”
Shi Bufan obviously won’t tell him that when he lost his memory, he had experienced unrequited love. He got on his motorcycle and said, “I’m leaving.”
“That isn’t the direction of your house!”
The sound of the revving of the motorcycle had distanced as Ye Lian tilted his head, glancing at his figure until he disappeared. After a while, he finally understood.
“As expected, he bullied Zhen Yuanbai because the latter didn’t reciprocate his feelings.” He thought, “You said that you don’t care, but it’s obvious that you do very much.”
