Everyone Thinks That I Like Him 01
Translator: Mosstree
Chapter 1
“Let me take photos of Shang Jin??? Dream on!” Ye Zhou slammed the table, revealing a
‘rather die than submit’ determination that left no room for negotiations.
“Are you sure?” Su Yin opened her phone photo album and shook it. A handsome boy was
on the screen, smiling shyly at the camera. “Like this, I have quite a few.”
Ye Zhou reluctantly refused to look at the person in his heart on Su Yin’s cell phone and
said, “Still no!”
“A picture of Shang Jin for a picture of Tang Dongdong,” Su Yin continued to tempt, “By the
way, I can also give you Tang Dongdong’s preferences. You also know that I’m Tang
Dongdong’s childhood friend. I wouldn’t dare to claim other things, but as for Tang
Dongdong, I know him inside out.”
The balance in Ye Zhou’s mind swung left and right. Su Yin’s temptation was really too
great. He’d had a crush on Tang Dongdong for a few months, but because the other person
was at another school, he couldn’t find the chance to get to know him. But Shang Jin…he
really hated Shang Jin! That Shang Jin who pressured him in everything! The most annoying
thing was that Shang Jin was also his classmate. This made Ye Zhou have a rather ‘since Yu
was born, why must Liang be born’ kind of tangled feeling.
Since Yu was born, why must Liang be born: (既生瑜何生亮) A quote from the
Three Kingdoms referring to Zhou Yu on the Wu side, and Zhuge Liang on the Shu
side. The meaning is that since God gave birth to Zhou Yu to assist and help Wu,
why would he also give birth Zhuge Liang to fight against Wu?
“What’s so good about Shang Jin?” Ye Zhou gnashed his teeth and asked.
Su Yin looked at him strangely, as if he’d asked a very nonsensical question. “Does Shang Jin
have any bad points? He takes first place in all assignments, wins the championship in
every competition, and most importantly, he looks handsome! In his countenance is the
righteousness of the world. He’s such a precious and rare existence. Did you know? Every
time I come by him, I only dare to walk by with squinted eyes for fear that I’d be sucked in
by his profound eyes! I can’t say it. When I talk about him, my heart just jumps. Male god,
quickly find a girlfriend! Otherwise, with this model before me, I really can’t look for a
boyfriend.” As if thinking of the scene of Shang Jin finding a girlfriend, Su Yin immediately
shook her head and said, “No, the male god is better off alone. I really can’t imagine what
kind of girl can match him. Ah ah ah ah, I’m so jealous of his future girlfriend!!”
Ye Zhou rubbed his arms covered in goosebumps, stared at her coldly and said, “A person
with good grades and good looks isn’t only Shang Jin alone.”
Su Yin was still immersed in her emotions and wasn’t pleased when she heard this
statement. “Who else?”
Ye Zhou raised his chin and proudly said, “They are so far and yet so near.”
“So far…” Su Yin looked around in a circle, gave Ye Zhou a look of disbelief and doubtfully
said, “You???”
Ye Zhou resentfully said, “What’s with your tone??”
“You…” Su Yin looked him up and down, and carefully picked her words, “You look
handsome enough, grades are also good enough, but the feeling is a bit off. For example, I
can jest with you without feeling any burden, but I would never dare to do that with Shang
Jin! What’s that word called…right! Down-to-earth! You’re too down-to-earth, and Shang Jin
is different. He’s like the sun in the sky, completely for people to look up to!”
This point didn’t need Su Yin to say, Ye Zhou himself also felt that people treated them
differently. They were both handsome guys, but everyone mocked and scolded him, horsed
around and didn’t give him a bit of face. And they treated Shang Jin like an unattainable
god, and usually wouldn’t dare to speak loudly in front of him.
And now, making him, Ye Zhou, go and shoot his arch-enemy Shang Jin: this clearly was an
inferior person’s behavior and was an implied, naked insult!
He, Ye Zhou, such an outstanding man, could he agree??
Ye Zhou slapped the table and said with lofty pride. “Fine! I’ll take it. ‘A leader can submit
or stand tall as required’! Prepare Tang Dongdong’s pictures well for me! Prepare as many
as you have!”
Ye Zhou lifted his head proudly, and carrying his textbooks, he went into the classroom
with a grim look.
Just entered the door, he saw the protagonist of their discussion a moment ago, Shang Jin.
He was leaning on the back of the chair and carelessly looking at his phone. The textbooks
spread out on the table were neat and clean, brand new without a trace of a crease. When
Ye Zhou walked passed him, the other didn’t even give him a passing glance.
Ye Zhou snorted, thinking: Who was he pretending for? Usually with an ‘I haven’t studied
seriously’ appearance, he’d often rank among the top. Ye Zhou didn’t know how long he
was misled by this not serious expression. Every time he felt that he could overtake the
other person, the reality always gave him a heavy blow.
As soon as he thought that he wanted to take pictures of this kind of hypocritical person, Ye
Zhou’s anger hit several places. This really was a model of contemporary humiliation!
“Ye Zhou, come!” In the fifth row, Ye Zhou’s roommate, Xu Yangjun, patted the empty spot
next to him. “What have you been doing? How come it took you so long to come back?”
“I saw a friend and chatted a few words.” Ye Zhou walked from behind Xu Yangjun to the
empty seat inside. The small classroom where they usually had class had four seats per
row. After Ye Zhou came in, his left side deskmate and roommate, Zhou Wendao, also
looked up and smiled. “Which person isn’t your friend at this school?”
“Nonsense. There’s so many people at school, I don’t know every single person.” Ye Zhou
grabbed his cell phone and looked in the direction of Shang Jin. Form the gap between the
seats, he could just take photos of Shang Jin. Even if he was ten thousand times unwilling in
his heart, but since he’d already promised others, he must do as he say.
Taking advantage of the two beside him not paying attention, Ye Zhou quietly took a few
shots. After taking them, he looked at Shang Jin’s disgusting face in his phone and couldn’t
help but poke his finger at the photo, as if he could really poke Shang Jin’s face.
When the bell rang to dismiss class, Ye Zhou saw that Shang Jin hadn’t moved yet. He found
an excuse to send his roommates back first and then quietly shifted to the front seat,
pretending to play with his mobile phone while lying on the table. Actually, he had the
mobile phone camera opened and took a few more photos in Shang Jin’s direction.
For a few days, Ye Zhou used the gap between the seats to take a flurry of photos of Shang
Jin, and several times, he even tailed Shang Jin, completely mastering the stalker style.
Finally on Thursday, Ye Zhou’s album was already filled with Shang Jin’s face. Towards
Shang Jin’s photos, from his various kinds of adversity in the beginning, he’s now able to
look at them with his present day calm.
Tomorrow was the time when he’d agreed to meet up with Su Yin. Ye Zhou randomly
tapped his fingers on the phone screen. After he gets Tang Dongdong’s photos, he must
crush all these photos! Merely crushing them seemed a bit too easy for Shang Jin. Maybe
it’d be better to destroy the memory. Ye Zhou’s imagination knew no limits. Suddenly, there
was a loud cry from the classroom. Ye Zhou looked up and his sight seemed to be flashed
with a golden light!
Despite Ye Zhou extremely disliking Shang Jin, he also had to admit that Shang Jin was
particularly eye-catching tonight.
Maybe there was a sense of willfulness, Shang Jin was dressed up very casually. But
casually was not randomly! Since Ye Zhou met Shang Jin, he’d never seen him wear a
sleeveless garment, this kind of clothing that could show the muscles. On this point, Ye
Zhou secretly thought that Shang Jin was definitely a face-only empty shelf, so he’d never
dared to show his body in front of people.
But today, Shang Jin was not the same. The collar of his shirt was wide open, and the
pectoral muscles underneath the clothes could be vaguely seen. His fine hair covered his
smooth and full forehead. Contrary to the usual lazy image, was there a hint of wildness?
If he took this photo, he could at least exchange it for Tang Dongdong’s sleeveless photo.
Ye Zhou’s heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat’s paw, but there were too many
obstacles in front of him, and he couldn’t find a good time to take the picture!
The bell rang and Ye Zhou put aside the distractions to listen seriously to the lecture. There
were many disciplines in the university, but each class had very few courses. The teacher’s
lecturing speed was fast, so in each class, he must listen carefully to keep up with the
teacher’s progress. Ye Zhou listened to it with interest. A phone call summoned the teacher
away and left the classroom of students to begin self-study.
After the teacher left, the two sitting at his table looked at their phones intently. Ye Zhou
also subconsciously touched his phone and remembered that there was still a daunting task
today.
Ye Zhou quietly took out his phone and his gaze swept his table on both sides. When he saw
that no one was looking, he carefully raised his phone.
Click. The sound was unusually clear in the quiet classroom.
Through the phone camera, Shang Jin’s sharp eyes pierced through the lens and stabbed
directly at his heart.
Ye Zhou’s heart collapsed. Was he discovered?
He hid his phone in his arms and suddenly realized that almost the whole class was focused
on him. Ye Zhou hurriedly explained, “I didn’t secretly shoot him because I like him!”
After a moment of silence, the whole class was in an uproar.
Afterwards, every time he thought of this day’s experience, Ye Zhou wished he could grab
his past self and give him a few good slaps!!
Chapter 4
After Shang Jin said this sentence, he no longer cared about the farce on this side: he
carried out his task then left.
Xu Yangjun came over and put a hand on Ye Zhou’s shoulder, winked and said, “Not bad,
Zhou. You just confessed yesterday and today, Shang Jin’s protecting you.”
Zhou Wendao smirked and asked, “Yes, yes. Zhou, what did you say to Shang Jin? How did
you conquer him so fast??”
Ye Zhou was choking on his anger. He didn’t know whether he should rush out to grab
Shang Jin’s collar and ask him why he wanted to say unnecessary words, or if he should
first gather all the people in front of him watching a good show and punch each and every
one of them.
It seemed like the day when he’d be washed clean were further away…
This farce continued until National Day1. This was the first time Ye Zhou looked forward
for the holiday to come a bit sooner. Presumably, after one week, everyone should forget
about it.
“Zhou, you’re not going home for National Day again?” The day before the holiday, the other
two people in the dorm had already embarked on their way home. Zhou Wendao was also
making his final inspection. Not waiting for Ye Zhou to answer, Zhou Wendao was minding
his own business when he suddenly realized, “I remember that Shang Jin is a local person,
you two…made an arrangement?” Saying the last thing, Zhou Wendao’s face held a cheap
smile.
Ye Zhou had already prepared for this and proudly took out a train ticket and said, “Who
said I’m not going back? The ticket has already been bought.”
Zhou Wendao pulled the zipper of the suitcase and lifted it up, placing it to one side. Sitting
in the chair next to him, he said, “It’s a rare long vacation. You and Shang Jin aren’t going
out to travel?”
Ye Zhou scoffed and said in a bad mood, “When there’s nothing, why would I go traveling
with him?”
“You can’t do this…” Zhou Wendao scooted the chair to Ye Zhou’s side and said earnestly,
“You can’t not value him because you’ve caught him in your hand. Feelings depend on effort
to build up…”
After passing through this period of ravage, Ye Zhou had already become too lazy to refute.
As for the teasing of the surrounding people, it came in one ear and left out the other. Just
like Shang Jin said, what others said was their business. Anyway, he was clear on his own
innocence. Ye Zhou fiddled with his phone and accidentally opened Su Yin’s chat box.
Because of the misunderstanding with Shang Jin and him, Su Yin was also greatly
stimulated.
“You actually with Shang Jin…actually with Shang Jin…” Su Yin looked like the world was
about to be destroyed. She looked at Ye Zhou as if her eyes were hiding a needle and
wanted to prick him with it.
“Other people can not believe me, but don’t tell me that you also don’t believe!!” Ye Zhou
exclaimed, defending himself, “Who did I take the pictures for??”
Su Yin glared at him and hatefully said, “You yourself!”
“You ー”
“Isn’t it? You originally wanted Tang Dongdong’s photos before so you promised to
exchange them with me.”
“I ー” Ye Zhou choked, really unable to dispute it. He opened his phone and said, “Then let’s
exchange them quickly. Shang Jin’s photos are taking up space on my phone.”
Su Yin guardedly said, “That’s a must. Just in case you look at it for a long time and you
really have evil thoughts for Shang Jin…”
“Pei! I have evil thoughts for him???” Ye Zhou sneered, “No matter who I like, I still wouldn’t
like him.” (T/N: pei – spitting sound)
“It’s best if it’s like that.” After Su Yin received the photos, she didn’t dispel her vigilance.
“There’s really nothing going on between you and Shang Jin?”
“No, no, no!” Ye Zhou resentfully said, “Besides, am I worse than Shang Jin? Why do you
have a ‘dirty things shouldn’t stick to Shang Jin’ expression?”
“Because no one is worthy of Shang Jin.”
Ye Zhou snorted and said in his heart: if you saw Shang Jin’s messy dorm, you’d know that
the male god was also human.
After exchanging the photos, Su Yin repeatedly confirmed that Ye Zhou had really removed
all the photos of Shang Jin before giving up. Before leaving, she still repeatedly said, “You
have to hold your position! No matter how outstanding Shang Jin is, you can’t waver!”
“Rest ten thousand times assured, in my love, Shang Jin has never been an option.” Looking
at the dozens of photos of Tang Dongdong on his phone, Ye Zhou instantly felt a sense of
healing. It’s just that, to avoid this misunderstanding from happening again and causing
trouble for others, Ye Zhou only dared to leave two photos of Tang Dongdong in his cell
phone and interspersed them in a mess of landscape pictures to prevent others from
finding clues.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, Ye Zhou and Zhou Wendao set off to the station together.
The waiting room was jammed with people. Ye Zhou and him didn’t even have a chair to sit
on.
Ye Zhou leaned against the railing while Zhou Wendao sat on his suitcase, and the two men
idly chatted.
When the waiting room began to broadcast, Ye Zhou glanced at the ticket gate. Seeing that
it wasn’t his train, he was about to retract his gaze when unexpectedly, his gaze intersected
with another man’s. He immediately turned around and his heart beat a few beats.
How could Shang Jin be at the station? Wasn’t his home local?
“My train is about to start checking in. Zhou, I’m going to toilet first. Help me watch my
luggage.”
Ye Zhou absentmindedly agreed, praying that Zhou Wendao didn’t see Shang Jin.
However, things turned out against his wishes.
Ye Zhou hid from Shang Jin didn’t mean that Shang Jin would hide from Ye Zhou.
Zhou Wendao just walked away when the next moment, Shang Jin arrived at Ye Zhou’s side.
His expression was even more astonished than Ye Zhou. “Ye Zhou? What are you doing at
the station?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you this question???” Ye Zhou incredulously said, “Isn’t your home
local?”
“My family planned to travel for National Day. They left first and I’m going to meet them
now.” Shang Jin crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the railing like Ye Zhou.
He stared at the crowd in front of him. “If I’d known earlier that you weren’t going to stay at
school for the holidays, then I would have refused them. Who likes to come out to play
when National Day is so crowded with people.”
The more Ye Zhou listened, the more wronged he felt. He interrupted Shang Jin, “Wait,
what’s the meaning of your words? Are you blaming me??”
Shang Jin said to himself, “Forget it. At worst, I’ll just sleep in the hotel.”
“It’s because of you that I’m going home! Otherwise, with the school just starting a month
ago, what would I go home for!” Ye Zhou was almost driven crazy. He said that as long as he
met Shang Jin, no good would come out of it!
Shang Jin eyelids drooped as if they could close at any time. “You still have time to refund
the ticket now.”
“Why do I have to refund? If anyone should refund, it should be you!”
“I don’t care. Anyway, those rumors don’t matter to me.” Shang Jin yawned and said,
“Giving you a friendly reminder: Zhou Wendao is coming this way with great interest.”
“Can you not use such a serious expression to say something I don’t want to hear?” Ye Zhou
didn’t need to look back to be able to visualize Zhou Wendao’s expression. “In a moment,
pretend that we accidentally ran into each other.”
“We didn’t make an appointment.”
It’s true: this kind of assertion made it seem like he and Shang Jin really had something to
hide. But Ye Zhou really wasn’t at ease. He explained again, “Then in a while, don’t speak
nonsense.”
Looking at Zhou Wendao’s figure getting closer, Shang Jin had a slight thought and asked,
“Of course, I can. How are you going to repay me?”
“Re…repay??”
Shang Jin shrugged and said, “Anyways, I don’t care…”
Ye Zhou most hated this kind of ‘everything didn’t matter’ expression of Shang Jin. Without
desires and without wants, his appearance made Ye Zhou feel that nothing could threaten
him. But people under the eaves had no choice but to bow down. He hatefully said, “What
do you want?”
“After returning to school, continue to help me tidy up the dorm room.”
“Didn’t I tidy it up for you last time?”
Shang Jin boldly and confidently said, “It’s a mess again.”
Seeing Zhou Wendao come before him, Ye Zhou hurriedly said, “Fine fine fine, no problem.
Don’t speak randomly in a moment. Just let me talk.”
“Yo, isn’t this Shang Jin??” Zhou Wendao’s expression was as Shang Jin had described, and
was even more exaggerated than Shang Jin’s description. He bumped Ye Zhou and
whispered, “You weren’t honest. You lied to me before that there was no arrangement.”
“There is no arrangement. I’m just going home.” Ye Zhou showed his ticket and said, “Going
home!”
Zhou Wendao looked at Ye Zhou and, seeing that he couldn’t get any information from this
side, he turned to Shang Jin and smiled flatteringly. “Shang Jin, where are you going?”
Shang Jin glanced at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou gave him a warning glance.
“I came to send someone off.”
“You ー” Ye Zhou suddenly stared at him with wide eyes. He’d clearly said before that he
was traveling. How could it suddenly change to sending someone off???
“Oh~~~” Zhou Wendao stretched out the tail end, winking at Ye Zhou. “Send someone.”
“Well, but already ー” Not waiting for Shang Jin to finish, Zhou Wendao looked at the ticket
gate and immediately rushed forward with his luggage. “Aiya, I’m not going to make it! I’m
going first. We’ll talk again when we’re back in school!”
When he could no longer see Zhou Wendao’s figure, Ye Zhou’s face sank. He dragged Shang
Jin’s coat and said, “You only had to tell the truth. Why did you have to lie? Saying it like
that, wouldn’t he misunderstand that you came to send me!”
Shang Jin rescued his coat from Ye Zhou’s hand and shot him a glance. He took the ticket
from his pocket and laid it before his eyes.
“A City to D City, high-speed rail, Car 2 ー” Ye Zhou suddenly stopped. He took out his
ticket, looked at his own and then looked at the other’s. The train and car on the two tickets
were the same…
“Or did you want to let the other person misunderstand that we’re going together for a
vacation?”

Chapter 5
What kind of fate was this!
“You…why are you going to D City too!” Ye Zhou grabbed his hair. Why did his life suddenly
have so many intersections with Shang Jin. Obviously, their first year in college, the two
people didn’t say a word to each other?
“D City is a tourist city.”
Isn’t it? His hometown, D City, had mountains and water and food. He had always been
proud of his hometown.
There was half an hour before check in. Ye Zhou and Shang Jin stood beside the guardrail,
one listening to music and one looking at his phone. This was the most familiar pattern for
two people to get along. After all, the two people were really unfamiliar. If it were someone
else, Ye Zhou may have spent a bit of time to get to know the other party, but towards
Shang Jin, this “scandal boyfriend”, of course, the farther away the better, even if there was
no one there that they knew.
Checking in and entering the station, they remained silent the entire way.
Ye Zhou took his seat first, looked at Shang Jin and politely said, “My seat is here.”
Shang Jin hummed in acknowledgement and continued to move forward.
Ye Zhou turned to look back, not sitting down until he saw Shang Jin sit down.
On the train, there were many college students who were going home for the long holiday
like him. Ye Zhou propped his head and looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
The decision to go home was quite abrupt. Until he got on the train, he hadn’t called back
home.
Looking at the familiar number in his contacts, Ye Zhou hesitated a few times, but in the
end, he still didn’t call them. Anyway, they would naturally know when he returned.
When he thought that he would be home soon, Ye Zhou’s heart couldn’t remain calm. He
looked around, trying to find a target that he could strike a conversation with to help him
divert his attention.
However, in this information society, everyone had a cellphone in their hand. All around
him were the bow-down army, their bodies exuding a ‘don’t disturb me’ aura. Ye Zhou
bowed his head and prepared to take out his tablet from his backpack to join the forces of
the bow-down army. Suddenly, he touched two apples.
bow-down army: (低头族) i.e. smartphone addicts
Recalling how Shang Jin had lied to Zhou Wendao before, no matter what, it was also for
himself. Ye Zhou had never liked to owe other people. He took out his cellphone and sent a
message to Shang Jin.
Ye Zhou: Eat an apple?
After the message was sent out, Ye Zhou stood up slightly and looked towards Shang Jin.
Shang Jin took out his cellphone, looked at it, and then put it down again…put it down…put
it down…
Ye Zhou simply stood up and picked up the apple to go to the washbasin at the end of the
carriage. When he passed by Shang Jin’s seat, the other person didn’t lift his eyelids.
Shang Jin was looking at the magazine in his hand when suddenly, his face was chilled by
an apple. An annoyed voice came from overhead. “Didn’t you see my text, classmate Shang
Jin?”
The aroma of the apple immediately pervaded the tip of his nose. Shang Jin didn’t take it.
Instead, he moved back a bit and used the cloth from his shoulder to dry the water on his
face. “The text sent just now was yours?”
“Otherwise? Both times, you didn’t return my texts!” Ye Zhou leaned against the back of the
seat and still held the apple in front of Shang Jin. “Take it.”
Shang Jin held the apple but didn’t eat it immediately. Rubbing the apple’s skin with his
finger, he looked at Ye Zhou with an unclear meaning.
“Why…why are you looking at me like that?” Ye Zhou uneasily shifted his gaze. “There’s no
need for thanks. Anyways, if you don’t eat it, it’d just increase my baggage weight.”
“No, I just think…” Shang Jin lifted his thumb from the apple and said, “The apple doesn’t
seem to be clean.”
Pa-ta. Ye Zhou’s vaulted line of reason broke. He took two deep breaths, planning to
“educate” the classmate who had no idea of etiquette in front of him. Shang Jin directly took
a bite of the apple and made Ye Zhou have to smother the just-stoked anger, unable to let it
out and uncomfortably choking on it.
“You ー”
“Very sweet.” After Shang Jin tasted it, he nonchalantly said, “Thanks.”
Ye Zhou was defeated, and in a bad mood, said, “Didn’t you say it wasn’t clean?”
“I just stated a fact. It doesn’t mean that I won’t eat it.”
What sophistry…
Ye Zhou rolled his eyes toward the roof of the car. But this time, he was planning to thank
him. As a result, he gave the person a dirty apple and he couldn’t help but feel apologetic in
his heart. “Fine, I can wash it more for you.” Finished saying this, he didn’t wait for Shang
Jin to agree and immediately took the bitten apple, grumbling more about Shang Jin’s
matters while walking toward the sink.
Shang Jin looked at his empty hand and raised his head. Ye Zhou’s back was infinitely
magnified in his eyes. He frowned slightly, unable to describe for a moment the strange
emotion that had grown inside him.
“For you. This time, it’s absolutely clean!”
The lost apple was returned. Shang Jin squeezed the apple and looked at Ye Zhou. “Ye
Zhou…”
Ye Zhou snorted with his nose, expressing that he was listening.
I think you just behaved…” Shang Jin coughed and continued, “very much like a mother.”
“Poof!” The boy sitting beside Shang Jin spurted out the water he was just drinking. His
shoulders shook slightly. It seemed like he was very painfully suppressing his laughter.
Ye Zhou’s forehead couldn’t help but show the blue veins. “Shang ー Jin!!”
Shang Jin was a little bit embarrassed. He explained, “I just think…if…”
“Don’t say anything. You shutting up is the biggest thanks for me!”
As soon as the voice fell, Shang Jin immediately focused on biting the apple, with no
intention of saying anything.
The boy sitting next to Shang Jin was apologetic about his previous disrespectful behavior.
When Ye Zhou was about to walk towards his seat, he shouted, “Classmate, I’m just by
myself anyway, and my luggage is just this bag. Where’s your seat? I’ll change with you. You
can sit together with your friend.”
“Ah???”
Why were there such “considerate” people in the world!!!
“No, it’s just a few hours…” Ye Zhou declined, “and we’re not really familiar with each
other.”
“No need for thanks. Going outside, everyone should look after each other,” the boy said. He
picked up his bag and standing up, he intended to follow Ye Zhou to his seat.
“There’s really no need…” Ye Zhou put on a fake smile and looked at Shang Jin in passing,
hinting at him to say something.
Shang Jin looked at Ye Zhou, pointed his finger at his mouth and made a zipper movement,
continuing to gnaw on his apple.
Ye Zhou angrily said, “How come you’re so obedient at this time??”
The boy looked at the interaction between them and exclaimed, “Your relationship is really
good…”
The corners of Ye Zhou’s mouth pulled, saying in his heart: Your eyes are really good
enough…
For the time being, they didn’t talk during the process. In short, five minutes later, Ye Zhou
looked at the uninvolved Shang Jin beside him and wanted to hit him a bit.
Ye Zhou said with an wooden face, “Why does every outcome run counter to my original
intention?”
Shang Jin had washed his hands and after drying them with a paper towel, he stared at Ye
Zhou and asked puzzledly, “Ye Zhou, what are you afraid of?”

Chapter 34
After Ye Heng spoke to Ye Zhou in the evening, he was very understanding and no longer
“harassed” him. On the contrary, it made Ye Zhou a bit uneasy, not knowing whether he
should be disappointed or relieved.
The next day after lunch, Ye Zhou didn’t go back to his bedroom. Instead, he sat in the living
room and absentmindedly browsed through the magazine in his hand. Because Ye Heng
was home, Mother Ye turned a blind eye to him “not attending to his duties” like this.
Soon after, it was time for Ye Heng to depart. Ye Heng only came back for a day and didn’t
bring any luggage. However, the Ye family still didn’t mind the trouble and insisted on
sending him to the airport.
Since he’d promised Ye Heng, Ye Zhou no longer declined their invitation and followed
them out of the house, making the Ye family’s parents completely astonished.
Listening to Mother Ye exhort Ye Heng along the way, Ye Zhou looked at the scenery out
the window and couldn’t understand why Ye Heng wanted him to send him off.
At the airport, Father Ye began to nag Ye Heng. Ye Zhou stood to one side and suddenly had
some sympathy for Ye Heng. It also wasn’t easy to be the treasure in their parents’ hands.
Ye Heng lifted up his wrist and, looking at the time, said, “Then I’ll go first. You take care of
yourself at home. Don’t be too strict with Zhou Zhou. He’s an adult, and he can make his
own decisions on a lot of things.”
Ye Zhou, who’d always been standing behind them, saw that Ye Heng was about to turn
away and stopped him. “Brother, take care of yourself too.” This was the greatest concern
that Ye Zhou could express right now.
Ye Heng was very pleasantly surprised. He walked in front of him a few steps, touched his
hair and whispered behind their parents, “My work may be transferred to A City at this
time next year. When I come to A City, take me to see your campus.”
Ye Zhou nodded and said, “Okay.”
Ye Heng forcefully rubbed Ye Zhou’s head before reluctantly withdrawing his hand. “Then
I’m gone.”
Also not knowing whether Ye Heng’s words worked or not, after Ye Zhou returned home,
Mother Ye didn’t tell him to read books and such. But Ye Zhou also knew that this was
temporary. It wouldn’t take three days for things to revert back to the old ways.
The day before Lunar New Year’s Eve, most of the final grades came out.
Ye Zhou saw the news in the class group and couldn’t wait to log on the campus website to
check it out.
On the other side, Shang Jin, wearing headphones, was playing in an instance. Suddenly, his
clothes was yanked down.
“Big brother, candy.” The three-year-old little loli, Shang Youyou, had a candy in her hand
and insisted on putting it in Shang Jin’s hand.
Shang Jin thought that Shang Youyou wanted to eat it but couldn’t open it. Then, he took the
candy and opened the wrapper, putting the candy in front of Shang Youyou’s mouth.
Having the big brother she liked feed her candy, Shang Youyou immediately forgot that her
original intention was to give her favorite candy to her big brother, opened her mouth and
put the candy inside. Because she moved too fast, her mouth accidentally touched Shang
Jin’s fingers.
“Youyou!” Qin Fei walked in, carefully looked at Shang Jin, picked up Shang Youyou and
said, “How many times have I told you? Don’t bother your big brother when he’s busy.”
Shang Jin wiped his hand with a paper towel and picked up his headphones to put them on.
“Shang Jin, I’m sorry. Youyou is still small and not sensible, going into your bedroom
without permission. She didn’t disturb you, did she?” Qin Fei, because of her pregnancy,
only carried Shang Youyou for a moment before putting her down, pulled her hand and
said, “Quickly apologize to your big brother.”
Shang Youyou pouted her mouth, her whole face filled with unhappiness. But she still
whispered, “Big brother, I’m sorry.”
Shang Jin stood up from his seat, crouched down, touched Shang Youyou’s face and said, “It
doesn’t matter.”
This was the first time Shang Jin had shown Shang Youyou intimacy. Qin Fei stared at Shang
Jin in astonishment, and Shang Youyou was obviously very happy. Her grievances just now
were sweep cleanly away. Even while her mother led her away by her hand, she kept
looking back at Shang Jin.
The door already closed, there was still a soft sensation in his hand, which made Shang Jin’s
heart soften as well.
In the past, the relationship between Shang Jin and Qin Fei had always been very awkward.
When Qin Fei joined the family, Shang Jin was already sensible. As the only son of Shang
Qingping, Shang Jin naturally became Qin Fei’s target to curry his favor. Despite Shang Jin
already being an adult and Qin Fei also having her own daughter, her attitude toward
Shang Jin was still very cautious, and was the same even when she brought along Shang
Youyou.
Just now, why did he suddenly reach out?
Shang Jin failed to realize that it was simply Shang Youyou’s aggrieved little face that made
him think of Ye Zhou in an instant. He still remembered the question that Ye Zhou had
asked him a few days ago. Ye Zhou himself didn’t realize that inside his heart, he liked his
older brother and cared about his brother’s opinion of him. Was Ye Zhou to his older
brother like Shang Youyou to himself: wanting to get close but not daring to get close? And
the difference in how Qin Fei treated Shang Jin and Shang Youyou, would it have directly or
indirectly hurt Shang Youyou?
Questions that had never been thought of came to his mind one by one.

【Team】Lasting love song sung for a century: If you have her skills and equipment, we
can also tolerate you being so capricious.
【Team】Quack: I didn’t say anything.
Shang Jin’s mind returned. Just as he was about to return to the team, he saw his mobile
phone screen light up. The class group was saying that the final grades had come out.
【Team】Xia Shang Zhou: I’m going to check my final grades.
【Team】Lasting love song sung for a century: The final grades came out. Don’t check it
now but do it later, it can’t run!! Can’t we finish before checking it again?
【Team】Quack: You don’t understand this. It’s related to whether you’d fail or not~

【Team】Quack: If you’re a student, you can’t escape the clutches of the exams. The

Shang Jin switched over to the web page and opened the campus website. Checking his
school transcript, he directly took a screenshot and sent it to Ye Zhou.
Compared with his own grades, Ye Zhou definitely wanted to see his more.
Have to say, Shang Jin once again guessed Ye Zhou’s mind.
Ye Zhou was hesitating whether he wanted to find Shang Jin and ask for his grades, when
he saw Shang Jin had sent him a QQ message.
Moreover, without the slightest greeting, it was a simple and crudely taken picture.
Seeing the picture, Ye Zhou was discouraged. He still didn’t surpass the other in the tests.
Ye Zhou reciprocated and sent over his own grades.
Shang Jin: Invite me to a meal when school starts.
Wasn’t their agreement that the one who did well would invite the other to eat??
Ye Zhou: Do you have poor eyesight?
Shang Jin: I really tried my best this time, but I wasn’t able to shake you off.
A possibility appeared in Ye Zhou’s mind: if he hadn’t quarreled with Shang Jin at the end of
the term, would he really have surpassed Shang Jin this time?
This idea didn’t last long. Ye Zhou shook his head. Even if it were so, there was no point in
beating a Shang Jin who didn’t try his best.
However, due to Shang Jin’s words, Ye Zhou’s heart swelled slightly. He raised his head and
his hand flew a lot more briskly as he typed.
Ye Zhou: The eight major cuisines, order whatever you want to eat.
Shang Jin: Eat at the canteen.
Ye Zhou: You have no goal at all.
Shang Jin: The canteen is the closest.
Ye Zhou held his forehead. He thought of something and holding a lucky mentality, Ye Zhou
tentatively tapped on the keyboard.
Ye Zhou: Did you cover the little pedicab?
Shang Jin: [Automatic reply] Hello, I’m not present right now. I’ll contact you later.
Ye Zhou: ……
The next semester of their second year started relatively late. The dormitory door usually
opened two days before the school started. Even if Ye Zhou wanted to go to school first,
there wasn’t that option. He could only endure through the Lantern Festival at home and
only then, take his luggage onto the trip back to school.
Ye Zhou dragged his suitcase, carried his schoolbag and took a large bag of preserved fruit
to get out of the car. Thinking about the distance between the school gate and the
dormitory, he missed the small three-wheeler.
Left through the winter vacation, exposed to the sun, drenched in the rain everyday, and
also going through several snowfalls, he reckoned that the Shang Ye number would have
gone through a lot of great changes…
Great changes…
A lot?
After half an hour, Ye Zhou was fifty meters from the dorm when he glimpsed a brand new
little three-wheeler in the shed.
He rubbed his eyes, walked in front of the three-wheeler, three steps becoming two.
Circling around it once, this unconventional body, these two chic words “Shang Ye”: one
couldn’t find a second car in the world like this. Clearly before he’d left, the Shang Ye
number had accumulated a lot of dust, but now it was clean and shiny.
Ye Zhou incredulously said, “Could it be that Shang Jin’s character had changed??”
However, once back in the dorm, Shang Jin broke Ye Zhou’s delusion.
“Ah?” Shang Jin was unable to make head or tail of it and said, “How could I have done such
a troublesome thing?”
Ye Zhou choked, put the luggage in the dorm and took another look from the balcony.
“Then who was it?”
Liu Yutian kicked open the bathroom door and roared loudly, “I know who it was!!”
“Eh, Ye Zhou, you guys are pretty good, inviting a bunch of conscripts.” Liu Yutian hadn’t
finished yet when Wen Renxu returned from the outside carrying a water bottle. “It was
this morning. I saw some classmates carrying small buckets and cleaning rags to wipe the
car.”
“Why?”
“It seems that they didn’t fail the exam, so they came over to fulfill their promise.”
“How can that be, troubling others so much!”
“It’s very good, avoid troubling ourselves.”
Ye Zhou and Shang Jin spoke at the same time. Hearing the other’s words, their faces were
filled with disdain.
Before the two people argued, Wen Renxu hurriedly said, “Everyone is doing it willingly,
and it could also be considered spiritual sustenance. You two don’t quarrel, don’t be noisy
and don’t tear each other apart is the greatest thanks for them.”
Liu Yutian finally took up the thread and said, “Yes, but this is also very good. No one would
dare to intervene between you guys, simply putting an end to the hidden danger of a third-
party or a fourth-party!”
Ye Zhou snorted, completely not taking them seriously.

and one with spicy broth. ↩
Ye Zhou pushed him away and said, “You lie down on the bed without changing your
clothes?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Shang Jin draped over Ye Zhou’s body and said, “Anyway, it’ll get dirty
in a moment.”
It wasn’t the first time the two kissed, but none was as passionate and strong as today.
Their tongues intertwined and even kissing was like a competition.
After a long while, Shang Jin released Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou’s face was flushed and his breath unsteady. He reach out and wiped the sweat off
Shang Jin’s face. Shang Jin, who’d always been calm, had an expression full of aggression at
the moment, as if he were beast wanting to devour his prey.
Ye Zhou clung to Shang Jin’s neck, lifted his body and planted a light kiss on Shang Jin’s lips.
This action was like a fuse.
Shang Jin once again kissed Ye Zhou’s lips, his hand moving from Ye Zhou’s face and
wandering downwards.
Ye Zhou was wearing a loose cotton T-shirt for the cleaning today, and Shang Jin’s hand
easily slipped under the hem of his shirt.
“First…the clothes first…oh…” Ye Zhou couldn’t even say a complete sentence and was
immediately sealed by Shang Jin’s lips with a kiss.
After a long kiss, Shang Jin finally found out that the clothes were in the way and couldn’t
reach the limit of skin contact.
“Raise your hands.” Shang Jin directly lifted Ye Zhou’s clothes and after exchanging a brief
kiss, he released Ye Zhou and in less than one second, Ye Zhou’s cotton T-shirt was thrown
at the bedside.
Shang Jin once again kissed Ye Zhou, but this time, it was just a flirting taste. Gradually, the
kiss trailed down and Shang Jin’s lips lingered on Ye Zhou’s neck. He kissed Ye Zhou’s
throat and Ye Zhou gave a light groan. Shang Jin smiled and he continued down.
Ye Zhou’s hand threaded through Shang Jin’s hair and he urged, “What are you dilly-
dallying for…?”
Shang Jin spent a long time on Ye Zhou’s neck, and suddenly he sucked heavily.
“Hiss…” Ye Zhou couldn’t help but cling to Shang Jin’s head. After Shang Jin released him, he
angrily said, “What are you doing?”
Shang Jin raised his head and looked at the red mark on the collarbone. He said
meaningfully, “Planting strawberries.”
Ye Zhou blanked and suddenly laughed out loud, “That makes me want to plant one too.”
Shang Jin rolled over and lay on the bed. “Come.”
Ye Zhou sat to one side. Shang Jin’s clothes were still worn on his body. Because he was
wearing sweatpants, he could see very well that the little brother below was quite spirited.
Ye Zhou touched on that part of Shang Jin’s body. Shang Jin hadn’t expected Ye Zhou’s
action and gave a smothered moan from this sudden raid.
As if finding delight in it, Ye Zhou directly stripped off Shang Jin’s pants.
Through the thin layer of underwear, it better highlighted the shape of the lower body.
Ye Zhou didn’t remove Shang Jin’s underwear, but put his hand directly into it. This was Ye
Zhou’s first intimate contact with another man’s part, the hot sensation burning into his
heart.
Feeling the touch of his lover, even if Shang Jin was determined to be stronger, he also
quickly reached his limit. He pulled Ye Zhou under him and began to pull down Ye Zhou’s
pants.
“Hey, I haven’t planted strawberries yet!”
“You can plant them after we’re finished!” said Shang Jin, directly pulling down Ye Zhou’s
pants along with his underwear down to his knees. Ye Zhou’s cock was already erect, and
Shang Jin held it in one hand and began to move up and down.
“Mmh…” Ye Zhou’s hand grasping Shang Jin’s lower body loosened, and he unconsciously
clung to Shang Jin’s back, his mouth constantly letting out light moans.
However, at the moment when Ye Zhou was about to release, Shang Jin stopped his hand,
leaving him in a position of not being able to go up or down, his heart itching intolerably.
Ye Zhou gritted his teeth and said, “Shang Jin…you…”
Shang Jin wasn’t much better than Ye Zhou. Beside when Ye Zhou had touched his cock
before, he hadn’t gotten any relief at all. He took the lubricant from his bag and poured a
little into his hand.
Ye Zhou was rubbed lightly by Shang Jin’s body when he felt a sudden coolness behind him.
He squinted his eyes and saw an extra object on the bed. A bit distracted, he said, “When
did you buy it?”
Shang Jin whispered in his ear with a low voice, “When we went to the supermarket.”
“Mensao…mm…” Ye Zhou felt Shang Jin’s finger trying to enter his back hole and
immediately took a deep breath and tried to relax his body. He hadn’t eaten pork but he’d
seen pigs run. When he’d found out about his sexual orientation, he’d read up on the
general knowledge about this. It was the first time for the two of them, and Ye Zhou didn’t
want to hurt himself.
The sweat on Shang Jin’s forehead fell, and he patted Ye Zhou’s ass to make him lie with his
back facing him. Generously pouring lubricant into his hand, after one finger could slide in
smoothly, he added another finger.
Ye Zhou once again saw that Shang Jin wasn’t omnipotent.
At least when he was loosen the back, he didn’t know to help him appease the little brother
in the front.
Even though Shang Jin’s actions were gentle, but Ye Zhou still felt an ache. The little brother
in front that had been on the verge of release had already gradually wilted, and now he
could only rely on himself for satisfaction.
Once the fingers could smoothly thrust in, Shang Jin covered Ye Zhou’s body and began to
rain kisses on Ye Zhou’s neck. The empty hand held Ye Zhou’s hand and helped him.
Ye Zhou turned his head and exchanged a kiss with him. “All right?”
Just after the words fell, Ye Zhou felt a hard object behind him.
Ye Zhou’s heartbeat was like thunder, and his entire body’s sense was concentrated on the
back hole. Although his back was facing Shang Jin, but Ye Zhou seemed to be able to see
Shang Jin entering his body inch by inch.
“Mm…” Ye Zhou bit his lower lip and groaned. Shang Jin immediately stopped, waiting for
Ye Zhou to slowly untense before gradually entering bit by bit.
Shang Jin thought he was being gentle to slowly enter, but in Ye Zhou’s view, it was like
being cut by a thousand knives. He said fiercely, “You come in all at once…give me a good
time.”
Shang Jin kissed Ye Zhou’s ear and suddenly slammed in.
“Ah…” Ye Zhou couldn’t help but clench the sheets under him. The red flush on his face
faded, leaving only a deathly pale.
Ye Zhou felt unbearable, and Shang Jin wasn’t any better than Ye Zhou. He kissed Ye Zhou’s
neck with all his strength and whispered, “Ye Zhou…Ye Zhou…Zhou… Zhou…”
Ye Zhou slowly recovered. Hearing Shang Jin’s call in his ear, he had a moment of
absentmindness.
At school, most people affectionately called Ye Zhou “Zhou”, but Shang Jin, this serious
lover, always called Ye Zhou “Ye Zhou”. Hearing for the first time such an intimate name, Ye
Zhou seemed to feel like waves of heat kept washing over him and the pain gradually
disappeared, replaced by the satisfaction of being one.
“I’m fine.” Ye Zhou wanted to turn around and touch Shang Jin’s face, but with their current
fit, it was obvious that he wouldn’t be able to move freely while Shang Jin was still in his
body. “Slowly, move a bit.”
Shang Jin pressed one kiss after another on Ye Zhou’s body and felt Ye Zhou start to relax.
Moving his body, his hand moved around to Ye Zhou’s front and helped him comfort his
already soft little brother.
After thrusting for a while, Ye Zhou finally got used to it and moaned when Shang Jin
accidentally hit his prostate.
He just moaned and immediately covered his mouth. Did he really just let out that tone of
voice? Too shameful!
It was like Shang Jin had heard a signal and he tried hard to hit that direction again.
“Mm…” Ye Zhou bit the corner of the quilt, trying hard to suppress his voice. Even if he likes
Shang Jin, he didn’t want to let out this kind of unbearable cry in front of Shang Jin.
As the exceptional one who understood Ye Zhou, Shang Jin could tell his thought from this
one action and also didn’t force him. Feeling the back hole began to tighten, Shang Jin knew
Ye Zhou wanted to shoot, and he worked harder toward the place where Ye Zhou liked.
“Mm…I can’t…” Ye Zhou gasped in a hurry and once Shang Jin thrusted again, his brain
blanked and then he shot out.
Shang Jin thrusted again for a while and holding Ye Zhou, he also shot out.
Ye Zhou calmed down and breathed for a moment, lying down on the bed. “I think I’m
already a dead fish.”
Shang Jin chuckled and came down from Ye Zhou’s body. His hand kept stroking Ye Zhou’s
back and sometimes, moved up to Ye Zhou’s cheek.
Ye Zhou said in distaste, “Don’t put the hand that’s been there on my face.”
Shang Jin joked, “That’s been where?”
“You’re so annoying!”
After being refreshed, Shang Jin found that his body was sticky and uncomfortable. He sat
up and said, “Let’s go take a bath.”
Ye Zhou placed his hand on him and said, “Help me get up.”
Shang Jin teased, “Princess carry?”
“Not even if you beat me to death!”
But Ye Zhou’s strength wasn’t bad, so after a rest, he could walk by himself.
The bathroom in the master bedroom had an oversized bathtub. When Ye Zhou entered,
Shang Jin had already filled it with water.
“Take a bath and go to sleep.” It was the first time for both of them. Shang Jin had no
experience and feared he’d hurt Ye Zhou.
But Ye Zhou thoughtlessly leaned in Shang Jin’s arms and let Shang Jin help him clean up.
Done once, the back hole was already quite loosened. He didn’t feel too much when the
fingers entered again.
Ye Zhou turned and encircled Shang Jin’s neck. “It wasn’t easy to loosen the back. It’d be too
wasteful to do it just once. Why don’t we have another go?”
Shang Jin, of course, deferred to his wishes.
After this bout, Ye Zhou was completely beat. Shang Jin held him under the water in the
shower and carried him to the bed.
After simply cleaning up the bathroom, he held Ye Zhou and fell into a deep sleep.
Waking up in the master bedroom the next morning, Ye Zhou rubbed his eyes and felt his
skin touch the dry, soft sheets. He realized that he had too much foresight to make two
beds.
Shang Jin was sleeping on his back with his face turned toward him. There was a bite mark
on his shoulder that he’d left yesterday in the passion of the moment.
Ye Zhou leaned in closer to Shang Jin, tracing Shang Jin’s features with his eyes.
He still remembered that Zhou Wendao had once sent him Shang Jin’s sleeping face. At that
time, he had irritably deleted it. How could he have expected that in less than a year, he’d
actually wake up next to Shang Jin?
He had to sigh that heaven’s arrangement was outside of people’s expectations. Suddenly, a
loud phone ring echoed in the quiet bedroom. Shang Jin frowned and rolled over, covering
his face with the quilt. Ye Zhou sat up and picked up the phone from the nightstand beside
Shang Jin.
The thin quilt slipped down to reveal Ye Zhou’s upper body covered in marks. He didn’t
know when these marks would disappear. The hateful thing was that they were on his
collarbone. How could he wear clothes like this!
Ye Zhou glared at the still sleeping Shang Jin and looked at the phone.
The screen showed that caller was Shang Jin’s dad.
Ye Zhou pushed Shang Jin and said, “Wake up, it’s your dad calling.”
Shang Jin irritably lifted the quilt and took the phone from Ye Zhou’s hand. He closed his
eyes and used his just woken up, low voice to say, “Hey?”
Ye Zhou patted Shang Jin and whispered, “I’m going to go shower first.”
Shang Jin waved his hand.
Last night, he’d been too tired after finishing, and the two people had simply let the water
run over them. Ye Zhou always felt that he wasn’t clean. When he turned on the shower and
just washed his hair, Shang Jin pushed opened the door and entered.
Ye Zhou: “???”
Shang Jin said nothing and squeezed in with Ye Zhou who’d just used the shower gel and
stood under the shower.
“What’s wrong??”
“Is your body alright?”
Ye Zhou said with a hot face, “It’s okay. I have good physical fitness.”
“That’s good.” Shang Jin finished this sentence and didn’t speak again.
Ye Zhou hung on this matter in his heart. When he squeezed the shower gel, he was absent-
minded and as a result, he squeezed out the shampoo instead.
Looking at the shampoo in his palm, Ye Zhou glanced at Shang Jin and directly smeared it
on Shang Jin’s hair.
Shang Jin: “……”
Half an hour later, the two peopled finished washing.
Shang Jin dressed and scratched his not yet blown-dry hair. “It looks like we won’t be able
to live here.”
Ye Zhou indifferently said, “If we can’t live here, then we can’t live here.”
Shang Jin handed the bank card in his bag to Ye Zhou and said, “You take this card and
reserve a hotel room first. Bring your laptop and after you’ve settled down, look for a place
to rent.”
“It’s not like I don’t have money to book a hotel. I don’t need you to give me money.” Ye
Zhou declined and said, “What’s wrong?”
“I’ll probably be driven out of my house right away.” Obviously it was a very serious matter,
but in Shang Jin’s mouth, it was as simple as going out to eat a meal. “Just take my card first.
This is my own money and isn’t related with my family. We’d probably have to stay at the
hotel for a while before we can find a place.”
Ye Zhou worriedly said, “What’s going on? What happened?”
Shang Jin kissed Ye Zhou’s forehead and said, “After you find a hotel, send me the address.”
Shang Jin didn’t want to say, and Ye Zhou didn’t ask anymore. After Shang Jin left, he
packed the two people’s things. Thinking of Shang Jin’s words, he also didn’t dare to
casually spend the money. He went to an inexpensive hotel and booked it. After sending the
location to Shang Jin, he started looking for a place to rent.
On the other side, Shang Jin got out of his car and opened the house door.
Shang Qingping, who’d always had the attitude of not caring about him, had unyieldingly
told him to come home, and it was also not long after he’d met Liang Jingmin. Shang Jin
didn’t need to think about it to know what was going on.
He’d only thought that for the sake of the “big picture”, Liang Jingmin wouldn’t tell Shang
Qingping about him dating boys, but he didn’t expect that she’d tell him.
The atmosphere at home could no longer be described as low pressure. Shang Qingping sat
in the middle of the sofa. Qin Fei sat trembling by his side, and when she saw Shang Jin, she
gave him a meaningful glance.
“Dad, Auntie.” Shang Jin sat down as if nothing had happened. “Where’s Youyou and Little
Ji?”
Shang Qingping slammed the table and furiously said, “And let them see the embarrassing
things you, this brother, are doing?”
Shang Jin grimly said, “I’ve always done things with a clear conscience and I don’t feel like
I’ve done anything to lose face.”
“Still daring to quibble!” Shang Qingping stood up and angrily panted, “Fooling around with
men isn’t called losing face! When your mother asked me, I didn’t know how to answer her.
After so many years, this is the first time I couldn’t lift my head in front of her. The son who
I’d thought was outstanding would actually do such a disgraceful thing.”
Still disgraceful, Shang Jin sneered. Compared to him liking men, Shang Qingping was even
more concerned about lifting his head in front of Liang Jingmin. “No matter what you say,
anyway, I’m serious about my feeling.”
“Serious my ass! Can two men live together forever?”
Shang Jin smiled mockingly and said, “But a man and a woman may not be able to live
together for a lifetime. This matter, dad, you should know best.”
“You ー” Shang Qinping raised his hand, but when he saw Shang Jin’s expression, he really
could not strike down. He didn’t know when it started, but the child he’d always neglected
had already grown up. He reluctantly put his hand down and said, “You’ve grown up and
want to spread your wings? Fine, you should fly and don’t come back!”
“I have no intention of quarrelling with you. But dad…” Shang Jin stood up and took out the
bank card and the key to the downtown house that Shang Qingping had given him from his
backpack and put them down on the table. He said, “Since you haven’t cared for me for so
many years, don’t worry about me this time either.”
This sentence was like a needle that punctured Shang Qingping’s balloon-like anger. He
dropped his hand and could no longer say a word.
Shang Jin left the house and didn’t call Ye Zhou. Instead, he sat on a nearby park bench and
stared at the sky in a daze.
For so many years, he’d thought he’d long since stopped holding resentment and blame.
However, some emotions were buried deep, and in the end, wouldn’t fade away.

Lasagna tears
Zhan Xing passed by right when Zhou Wendao was in a dilemma. He rushed in front of
Zhou Wendao and glared at Ye Heng. “What are you doing? Troubling my brother?”
Zhou Wendao quickly stopped Zhan Xing and explained, “It’s a misunderstanding,
misunderstanding. He’s here to find Ye Zhou.”
Zhan Xing immediately raised an alarm in his heart. Since Shang Jin and Ye Zhou were
together, they’d quarrel from time to time, and all of A Uni’s students would panic and think
everyone was their enemy. Now that Shang Jin and Ye Zhou finally entered their
honeymoon period, what was this strange man looking for Ye Zhou trying to attempt?
He said guardedly, “Why are you looking for Ye Zhou?”
Ye Heng raised this question again: why was it that once he mentioned looking for Ye Zhou,
their expression when looking at him was so…subtle? How bad was his brother’s
reputation at school to cause even a mention of Ye Zhou to make everyone look at him with
such…disgust?
Zhou Wendao whispered, “He’s Ye Zhou’s brother!”
Zhan Xing breathed a big sigh of relief. “That so. Sorry, big brother, but Ye Zhou’s no longer
liv…” Words not yet finished, Zhou Wendao covered his mouth. Zhou Wendao desperately
gave Zhan Xing a signal with his eyes.
Ye Heng easily guessed what he didn’t say. His head exploded. It was exactly what he’d
imagined. His poor little brother must have been bullied so he’d moved outside to live. He
couldn’t help but blame himself. If he’d known this, he would have come to A City earlier.
He asked in the gentlest tone, “Where does Ye Zhou live now?”
Zhou Wendao saw that he couldn’t keep the rental house under wraps anymore and could
only tell the truth. “We don’t know. We haven’t been there.” It was mainly the love nest of
the small couple. They’d all tactfully not gone over to disturb them.
This statement turned into something else in Ye Heng’s ears. His little brother had no
friends, so no one would go visit him when he rented a house outside. Ye Heng decided to
go tomorrow and look at the houses in A City. Ye Zhou had to study for at least two years.
He had to settle here as soon as possible so that he could take his brother to live with him.
“Then, big brother, why don’t we wait in the dorm first?” Zhan Xing remediated, “He
sometimes stays in the dorm.”
When Zhan Xing brought Ye Heng to the entrance of the boys’ dorm, Ye Heng gave a
meaningful look at Zhou Wendao.
Zhou Wendao was scared until his back was soaked with a layer of sweat. It was over.
Taking a deliberate detour was really seen through.
When they arrived at 403, Zhou Wendao quickly beat it. “Zhan Xing, you take big brother
over there. I’m so sleepy. I’ll go to bed first.”
Zhan Xing didn’t notice anything. He knocked on the door to 405, opened it and said, “Big
Brother Ye, this is Ye Zhou’s dorm. This is Ye Zhou’s bed.”
Liu Yutian curiously said, “This is?”
Zhan Xing introduced, “This is Ye Zhou’s older brother.”
“Hi, Big Brother Ye.”
Ye Heng nodded at him and walked to Ye Zhou’s bed. The neat bed was without a trace of
wrinkle and even the quilt was folded into a tofu block. His eyes swept over to Ye Zhou’s
desk and like the bed, it was clean and tidy. He picked up a book that was filled with notes.
The handwriting was neat and clear.
Liu Yutian looked at Ye Heng and asked Zhan Xing, “Since Big Brother Ye came, why hasn’t
Ye Zhou come yet?”
Ye Heng put down the book and said, “I just called but it didn’t go through.”
“Then why don’t I give Shang…”
“Ke ke cough!” Zhan Xing severely interrupted him and kept giving him imaginary eyes.
Liu Yutian looked at Ye Heng and looked at Zhan Xing again. He immediately understood
and changed his words. “I’ll give…Ye Zhou another call!”
Saying he’d call Ye Zhou, in fact, Liu Yutian pressed Shang Jin’s number.
buzz buzz buzz…
Shang Jin frowned and covered his face with the quilt.
Ye Zhou opened his sleepy eyes and pushed Shang Jin. “Phone…”
Shang Jin felt for the phone, squinted his eyes and pushed the green button. In a bad tone,
“What?”
Shang Jin had woken up in anger…
Liu Yutian swallowed his saliva. He swept over Ye Heng out of the corner of his eye and put
on an act. “Ye Zhou, where are you?”
“Ah?” Shang Jin took a look at the screen of the phone and made sure that the other person
was Liu Yutian, then placed it back to his ear.
Listening to Shang Jin’s tone, Liu Yutian madly sweated in his heart and pretended to
calmly say, “Why didn’t you pick up when I just called you?”
Shang Jin was silent for a second and then casually handed the phone to Ye Zhou. “Your
phone call.”
“Hey…”
Liu Yutian was moved to tears. Shang Jin was really Shang Jin. Without having to explain,
Shang Jin immediately knew what he wanted to say.
“Don’t say anything. Your brother is here and is now waiting for you in the dorm. Come
back quickly!” Liu Yutian spoke out like the patter of a machine gun. Soon after, he cast Ye
Heng a glance and pretended to complain, “Where did you go? I gave you so many calls but
no one answered.”
Ye Zhou said in a daze, “What brother…”
“What ‘what brother’, your own brother!!”
“My brother…” Ye Zhou’s head that was on standby finally woke up. He suddenly sat up in
shock. “My brother!”
Ye Heng impatiently said, “Come, let me talk with him.”
That hard-to-refuse imposing manner made Liu Yutian easily hand over the phone before
he had a chance to respond.
“Zhou Zhou.”
“Brother, you…” Ye Zhou picked up his mobile phone from the bedside and saw the 10
missed calls on the screen. “Why didn’t tell me in advance that you were coming?”
Ye Heng said carefully, “Am I bothering you?”
“No, no…” Ye Zhou turned over, got off the bed and said, “I’ll be back in a minute.”
Ye Heng considerately said, “No rush. Why don’t you tell me the address and I’ll go to you.”
Ye Zhou looked at Shang Jin who was still in a deep sleep and hurriedly said, “Don’t, don’t,
don’t! I’ll be right back. Wait half an hour ー no, twenty minutes ー I’ll be right back.
Brother, see you later!”
This was the first time Ye Heng had experienced such an “enthusiastic” Ye Zhou. He was
going to hang up the phone when his eyes accidentally swept over the name of the contact
on the mobile phone screen. He vaguely saw the word “Shang”, but not waiting for him to
look closely, the cell phone was snatched away by Liu Yutian.
Liu Yutian pretended to carelessly ask, “Big Brother Ye, what did Ye Zhou say?”
Ye Heng’s attention was drawn away. He’d calmed down after contacting Ye Zhou and was
a lot more good-natured to Ye Zhou’s classmates. “He said that he would be back in a
minute.”
Liu Yutian said in embarrassment, “That’s good, that’s good.”
On the other side, Ye Zhou kicked Shang Jin with his foot while putting on his clothes. “I
won’t be back tonight.”
Shang Jin opened a corner of the quilt and said in a low voice, “Your brother came?”
“Yeah, my relationship with my brother isn’t so good that I could tell him about the two of
us. So I’ll stay in the dorm today.” Ye Zhou quickly washed up and kissed him before
leaving. “See you tomorrow.”
“Wait.” Shang Jin sat up and said to Ye Zhou, “Your brother came. I have no reason to stay
here so I’ll go with you.”
“No!” Ye Zhou said, unyielding, “You stay here today.”
Shang Jin said, “It should be okay as a regular friend.”
“No.” Ye Zhou remained unmoved. “I’m not sure I wouldn’t give the game away in front of
my brother.” Not to mention that the two people had lived together for almost three
months and many habits had changed. Wen Renxu said that they were unconsciously dog
abusers. What if it was seen through by his brother!
“Okay.” Shang Jin said helplessly. “Your brother came so hastily. Ask him if he’s booked the
hotel. If he hasn’t, just say it and I’ll help him make a reservation.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Walking to the door, Ye Zhou paused again to explain, “Also, don’t call me.
We’ll try our best to pretend to be ordinary classmates in these two days. When my
brother’s gone, our alert can be lifted, okay?”
Shang Jin waved his hand and gave him an “OK” gesture.
Ye Zhou took a deep breath and quickly rushed toward school.
The author has something to say:
Ye Zhou: My relationship with my brother isn’t so good that I could tell him about the two
of us.
Ye Heng: QAQ Zhou Zhou, big brother is so hurt…

Everyone Thinks That I Like Him Extra

I found this on the author’s Weibo the other night. This really is the last extra >_<
Afterwards…
About Sister-in-Law~
It seemed that there wasn’t much difference between the life of a graduate student and
previously. Even the campus was still A Uni’s main campus. The two didn’t live in the
graduate dormitory and continued to live in their rental apartment.
Ye Heng’s work on this side was going very well and he was now thinking about buying a
house.
In this regard, Ye Zhou and Shang Jin were strongly in favor. Shang Jin had raised this
matter when Ye Heng came to A City. After all, A City’s housing prices would only rise
higher and higher. But Ye Heng had downplayed it and pushed it off.
As for the reason for dismissal, Shang Jin was completely speechless and helpless.
“I’ve decided to buy it next door to you.”
“Ah?” Ye Zhou was astonished, “We’re not planning to buy a house now.”
Ye Heng calmly said, “Then I’ll wait.”
“Brother, your waiting is all money. Do you expect the price in A City to fall?”
Ye Heng raised his eyes and swept Ye Zhou and Shang Jin with a glance and said,
“Otherwise, I’ll help you with an advance first?”
Ye Zhou immediately shook his head, “No way.”
Ye Heng sighed, “Then I’ll keep thinking about it.”
Ye Zhou saw Ye Heng’s thoughtful look and secretly nudged Shang Jin with his arm.
Shang Jin remained unmoved.
Ye Zhou glanced at Shang Jin and lightly coughed. “That, brother, compared to the house,
why don’t you find me a sister-in-law first?”
Ye Heng smiled, “This matter depends on fate. Hurrying it still can’t be hurried.”
“The key is you’ve been here for two years…” Ye Zhou scratched his head and said, “I
haven’t seen you very close to any woman. If you like men…” Originally, Ye Zhou intended
to let Shang Jin speak on this matter, but in the end, Shang Jin always played stupid and he
was anxious on the side. He clearly knew that when he talked to his brother, he always
came out on the losing end.
“Stop!” Ye Heng shot him a glance and said, “Don’t think that you’re gay so everyone around
you should like men.”
One sentence completely stoppered Ye Zhou’s words.
“Ye Zhou got confused from concern.” Shang Jin finally took up the topic. He touched Ye
Zhou’s head and said, “Big Brother is an adult and naturally knows what he wants.”
Ye Zhou curled his lips. “It’s me meddling.”
Ye Heng couldn’t bear to see Ye Zhou’s good intentions being let down and explained, “It’s
really that I haven’t met the right woman yet. The older we are, the less pure we are
towards love. The two people being together, they not only think about personality,
ideology or attitude in life, but sometimes even consider family conditions and too many
external factors can affect it. It’s better for you to completely abandon the interference
from the outside world and stay pure.”
Ye Zhou blinked, not really understanding.
Ye Heng threw a question to him, “What do you think about most when you’re with Shang
Jin?”
“Whether I like him or not…” Bringing this up, he’d struggled for quite a number of days
over who he’d really liked.
“It’s good to be young.” Ye Heng left this lament and went straight away.
The next day, Ye Zhou picked up a call on his way to school. A younger school brother he
knew wanted to borrow his previous notes. Ye Zhou thought that the time was still early
and decided to go over and give it to him directly.
“You don’t have to stay with me.” The two men rode their bikes back to the school building
where they often attended classes.
“It’s okay anyway.” The weather in October was good for cycling. While bathed by the sun,
Shang Jin narrowed his eyes and his voice was lazy. “How does a freshman who just started
class know you?”
“The last time my bike got a flat tire, I didn’t notice it, and the kid lent me a pump. Turns out
he’s in the finance department. Since I didn’t throw away my notes, I was going to give it to
him.” Ye Zhou quickened his riding speed and said, “It’s best to give it to him before class
starts.”
However, perhaps in the past few years, the two people were really good at stepping into
the classroom on the dot, so when they just arrived at the classroom, the school bell rang.
The two sat down in the last row, intending to give the freshman brother the notebook and
quietly slipping out the back door.
The ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
Ye Zhou and Shang Jin just stepped into the classroom when they immediately came under
the watchful gaze of all the students.
Even if the two people had become graduate students, their fame still didn’t decrease, but
increased.
Of course, this was also thanks to the Shang Ye number. After graduating, the two men
originally planned to ride the Shang Ye number home and end its riding career over the
past few years.
But for A Uni’s students, the riding career may be over, but the test god career still
remained.
Ye Zhou waved his hand and said that the car would stay at school.
The people at school heard that Shang Ye was “donating” the car to the school and the next
day, they sent people to ride it back and parked it in a very eye-catching location. It was
surrounded by railings and since then, had become the beautiful scenery of the finance
department.
Ye Zhou being stared at by so many gazes, whispered, “Can we leave in a bit?”
Shang Jin looked at the time and said, “It’s still early even if we leave to go see our mentor.
Let’s just self-study.”
“That works.”
His voice just fell when the teacher of this class came in.
Ye Zhou and Shang Jin originally had their heads down, but hearing the exclamations
around them, they couldn’t help but look at the podium.
Shang Jin raised his eyebrows and suddenly understood.
Ye Zhou looked for a bit and then lowered his head.
Shang Jiin gave him a glance and said in his heart, Ye Zhou was really not interested in
women at all.
The female teacher at the podium had a temperament even better than her outstanding
appearance. Her outfit was very simple without gorgeous jewelry. She only wore a ponytail
and the clothes on her body was also very clean, her face only having a touch of makeup.
Raising her hand or lifting her feet, it carried the feeling of being above the common
populace, as if she was only suited for seclusion in the mountains rather than the active
hustle and bustle of the city.
Shang Jin slanted his head and looked at the textbook of the student in front of him.
Literature class.
“Hello everyone. My name is Jiang Yuchi. I will be the literature teacher for everyone this
semester.” Saying this, Jiang Yuchi wrote her name on the blackboard. “This is my phone.
Everyone can note it down and if you have any questions in the future, you can contact me.”
Shang Jin held his chin and looked at the words on the blackboard. Words were like the
person: there was a kind of freedom in the gracefulness.
“We won’t start this class with a lecture. Let’s get to know each other.”
Perhaps because of Jiang Yuchi’s temperament, no one dared to impudently ask questions,
so after Jiang Yuchi finished, the classroom suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.
Jiang Yuchi didn’t feel embarrassed. She took out the roster and said, “Since everyone is so
shy, then let me get to know everyone first.”
In the following time, it was almost all student self-introduction time. From their words, it
felt like these students were very reserved.
Ye Zhou turned a page and whispered, “This bunch of people are really quiet. I remember
when we were in class, it was so lively.”
After marking down the names of the entire class, Jiang Yuchi said, “If you don’t have
anything to ask, then let’s start class now.”
Shang Jin suddenly opened his mouth, “Does teacher have a boyfriend?”
In a flash, the group of freshmen looked at Shang Jin like looking at a warrior.
Worthy of being a senior: not being afraid of danger at any time.
Ye Zhou desperately pulled at the hem of Shang Jin’s clothes under the table, not
understanding what Shang Jin was trying to pull all of a sudden.
Jiang Yuchi, who had been smiling, eyes narrowed like arrows in an instant. Her expression
hadn’t changed, but her eyes no longer held a smile. “Classmate, want to be my boyfriend,
catch up with my education first.”
Shang Jin frowned.
Jiang Yuchi lightly spat out two phrases, “Ph.D, C Uni.”
The whole class drew in a breath.
Shang Jin nodded and didn’t speak again.
Jiang Yuchi glanced at the roster and said, “You’re not a student of our class, right?”
Ye Zhou was afraid that Shang Jin would say something that shouldn’t be said, and
hurriedly said, “Teacher Jiang, we’re not students in this class, but we rather like literature,
so…”
Jiang Yuchi knew that there were some students in the university who’d drop by to listen.
She put the roster down and said, “I hope in my class that we do not ask any personal
questions. Similarly on the phone, please talk about content related to the lecture.”
After class, Ye Zhou gave the notes to the schoolmate and pulled Shang Jin out of the
classroom. Seeing Shang Jin was still absent-minded, he furiously said, “What nerve did you
struck? Why were in messing around in other people’s class?”
Shang Jin smiled, “What, worried that I fell in love with someone else?”
“Pei!” Ye Zhou nudged Shang Jin’s thigh with his knee. “You’re not someone who’d do
something without a purpose.”
Shang Jin’s hand casually rested on Ye Zhou’s shoulder and said, “Before, I felt that she was
very gentle and refined when I saw her, and she’s also a literature teacher. So I thought that
she should be able to chat with big brother, but I changed my mind now. Teacher Jiang is a
bit proud and so is big brother. They’re not suitable.”
Mentioning Ye Heng, Ye Zhou’s interest arose. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t look
twice just now.”
“It’s not suitable anyway. It’s useless to look more.”
Ye Zhou still felt a little discouraged, but since then, he started to pay a lot of attention to
the women around him.
After observing for a while, he still felt that no one was very suitable for his brother and
gradually left this matter behind him.
In the late autumn, the weather gradually turned cold. Ye Zhou and Shang Jin rode over on
their bikes and felt the cold wind biting their faces.
Ye Zhou and Shang Jin went out and forgot to bring an umbrella. When it was time to go
home, the rain poured down heavily.
“Shoot, how can we go back?” Ye Zhou sneezed and pulled up his jacket’s zipper. They
stood at the door of the school building, watching the rain. It still hadn’t stopped after a
short while.
Shang Jin looked at the time and said, “Why don’t we ask big brother to come around on his
way back?”
At this time, it was really fortunate that they lived in the same community.
Ye Zhou took his phone out. Now was just the time when Ye Heng would be coming home.
He hurriedly made a call and simply said a few words before he prepared to sit in the
empty classroom to wait for Ye Heng.
“Teacher Jiang, you’re just going home?” Brushing by the other person in the hallway, Ye
Zhou habitually greeted the person he knew.
Jiang Yuchi was startled for a moment, not expecting the other party to say hello to her.
After all, they’d only met once. She smiled courteously, “What about you? Still haven’t gone
home yet?”
“Yeah, we’ll leave later.” Ye Zhou looked at Jiang Yuchi’s back and said, “She didn’t look at
you the whole time. It seems that she’s still brooding over what happened last time. I have
to say did you really have to ask her if she had a boyfriend and make such a big ruckus
instead of asking the other people in private?”
Shang Jin didn’t feel that he was wrong. “What everyone thinks isn’t necessarily true. This
kind of thing, you can only ask the person involved to get the fastest, most effective and
authentic answer.”
Ye Zhou just wanted to refute, then he thought of himself and Shang Jin and silently closed
his mouth.
The two people stayed in the classroom for 15 minutes, then received a call from Ye Heng.
They went to the door of the school building and saw Jiang Yuchi was standing to the side.
“Teacher Jiang, you also didn’t bring an umbrella?”
“Well, I was in a hurry today and forgot.”
“Where do you live? My brother is coming over to pick us up. Why don’t we give you a
ride?”
Jiang Yuchi hesitated for a few seconds and said, “That’s a hassle. You don’t have to send me
home. Just drop me off at a convenient place to take a taxi.”
The black car stopped at the school building entrance. Ye Zhou thought that Jiang Yuchi
wouldn’t want to squeeze in the back seat with them and said, “Teacher Jiang, you should
sit in front.”
The rain was too heavy and Jiang Yuchi also wasn’t unreasonable. After Shang Jin and Ye
Zhou entered the back seat, she opened the passenger door.
As soon as they got in the car, Ye Zhou explained, “Brother, this is a teacher from our
school, taking a ride.”
Ye Heng nodded. After Jiang Yuchi got into the car, he took out two paper towels and gave it
to her.
“Thank you.” Jiang Yuchi wiped the rain from her hair and her eyes swept over Ye Heng.
This glance made her freeze on the spot.
Shang Jin and Ye Zhou were leaning their heads against each other as they looked at their
phones when the sudden silence in the car made Shang Jin look up. He bumped Ye Zhou
and made him raise his head.
Ye Zhou leaned in next to Shang Jin’s ear and said in a very small voice, “What’s the
situation?”
Shang Jin shook his head.
Ye Heng didn’t pay attention to the other person’s strangeness and started the car. He
asked as they were leaving campus, “Teacher, where do you live?”
It was as if Jiang Yuchi was waking up from a dream. She tidied her hair and said, “In the
Tiancheng District.”
“That’s not far. I’ll send you back first.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Yuchi once again looked at Ye Heng and said, “That, my name is Jiang
Yuchi. I’m actually not their teacher. You can call me Little Jiang.”
“The depths of the water flow slowly, the noble person speaks measuredly: the name is
good.” (T/N: He’s expounding on the meaning of her name, which gets lost in translation.)
Jiang Yuchi clenched her slightly trembling hands and asked, “You’re Senior Ye Heng,
right?”
Both Ye Zhou and Shang Jin in the back seat pricked up their ears, and even their breaths
were soft.
Ye Heng stopped at the red light and looked at her strangely.
Jiang Yuchi tightly grasped her knapsack strap and said nervously, “Senior Ye Heng was
very famous at C Uni when I started. I’m behind you by two years.”
Ye Heng looked at her and thought for a moment. He recalled, “It’s been ten years. You’ve
changed a lot and I didn’t recognize you for a moment.”
“Do you remember me?”
At the same time, Ye Zhou leaned against the back of Ye Heng’s seat and asked, “What’s the
matter? Do you know each other?”
Ye Heng slowly started. It’d been too long ago and there were a lot of things he really didn’t
remember. But at the beginning of his junior year, he’d helped a girl and had a bit of an
impression. “Teacher Jiang could be counted as the only school sister I welcomed.” At that
time, he was pulled over by a friend from the student union to help. After welcoming one
student, he was pulled away to do something else.
Ye Zhou sighed, “It’s really fate to meet again after such a long time.”
“Who says it’s not?” Ye Heng smiled, “But Teacher Jiang is quite formidable. An average
person can’t become a professor at A Uni.”
Shang Jin interjected, “Big Brother, Teacher Jiang has a Ph.D from C Uni.”
“Really formidable.”
“Not really. I can only study, so I kept studying,” Jiang Yuchi whispered, “Education doesn’t
count as much.”
Shang Jin leaned his head on Ye Zhou’s shoulder. This teacher was really interesting. When
a student asked her, she said coldly that if he wanted to chase her, he should catch up with
her education. When Ye Heng was here, education didn’t count as much. It really was a
terrible double standard.
Ye Zhou seemed to have thought of the same thing as Shang Jin. He pushed Shang Jin off
and winked at him.
Tiancheng District was one of the most famous large-scale real estates in A City. It covered
a wide area and even had several bus stops in the community.
Ye Heng asked, “Which one do you live in? This is my first time here so help point out the
way for me.”
Jiang Yuchi straightened her back, looked out the window intently and pointed ahead
before turning.
Going around seven bends and eight curves for more than ten minutes, they finally stopped
in front of residential building number 11.
Before getting off the car, Jiang Yuchi took a deep breath and said, “Senior Ye Heng, take
care on the way back. Thank you for today. I’ll invite you to a meal another day.”
Ye Heng waved his hand and drove to the intersection. Through the blurry window, he
looked at the map of the neighborhood and said, “How did she turn a two-minute road into
ten minutes?”
Shang Jin coughed and said, “Who knows.”
Ye Zhou snickered, “God knows.”
Ye Heng looked at the two men through the rearview mirror and shook his head.
In fact, the protagonists are still the two Shang and Ye~ By the way, the sister-in-law was
brought out~ I will not write more afterwards~
Onz what about the new text? Try my best by mid-September~
