Chen You was about to leave but Xiao Langgou and Liang Mei saw him and went to grab him, each holding one arm.
They both said in unison, “Don’t go!”
Chen You, “…”
Xiao Langgou pursed his lips and lowered his voice, “I haven’t finished what I want to say yet.”
Liang Mei bit her lip and said loudly, “I also haven’t finished what I was saying!”
Chen You looked at the school grass with eyes that said, ‘Why don’t you just explode right here?’
He tried to comfort the two buddies on his left and right, “Let’s talk it over nicely, don’t get angry.”
Liang Mei rushed ahead of Xiao Langgou. She was the Chinese class representative and was very articulate so she spoke very fast and uttered a long paragraph in one breath. “I looked for you before to ask you who that girl was and at that time you said you didn’t know so I told you a lot which you surely haven’t forgotten Sheng Xia because I always treated you as a friend but I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!”
There was no pause in the middle, therefore no punctuation, and it ended with an exclamation mark.
The skill was awesome.
Chen You found out that the little bastard was about to start talking again. He learned his lesson this time and shouted angrily before he could be stopped, “Shut your mouth!”
Xiao Langgou was stunned.
When Chen You was angered, even he was afraid of himself, let alone the school grass.
At this moment, two Laifus were running into the school grass’ heart, barking, “The little crybaby is being mean to me” and “The one the little crybaby is being mean to is me”.
Chen You had no time to play around with the school grass, so he said to Liang Mei, “What Xiao Langgou said is not true.”
Although Liang Mei was tall, she wasn’t stupid. She didn’t believe it. “Really? Then tell me, why did you get so close and kiss each other?”
That’s a matter of angle, and your eyesight isn’t very good, really. Chen You said seriously, “That’s not it, I have lice on my head and Xiao Langgou was catching them for me.”
He scratched his head as he spoke.
It really is a bit itchy. I haven’t washed it for two days. I don’t know why, but Sheng Qing relishes in the smell.
“……”
Liang Mei and Xiao Langgou fell silent at the same time.
Chen You picked up his schoolbag, ready to slip away quickly.
His hand was grabbed again. He knew it was Liang Mei without looking back. She was very strong.
Chen You pulled his hand away as Liang Mei’s voice rang in his ears, “Xiao Langgou said she’s your girlfriend.”
So whatever he says goes? If he said he could create the heavens, would you believe it? Chen You sighed, turned to Liang Mei who had lost her mind and whose IQ had dropped sharply, and said, “He was just teasing you.”
“How can he be my girlfriend when he’s a man?”
Liang Mei went to look at Xiao Langgou, hoping to hear the same answer from him—that it was a joke.
Xiao Langgou said, “No.”
Chen You’s heart skipped a beat, and Liang Mei’s heart skipped a beat as well. They both heard Xiao Langgou say, “I like Sheng Xia.”
The atmosphere became completely tense.
Chen You stared deeply at the crazy school grass. You asked me just now if I thought you were an idiot. Now I can tell you for sure that you are, absolutely!
To sum up the scenes that followed, it was Xiao Langgou swearing to death as he expressed his love for me, saying I like him, I like him very much, I just like him.
Liang Mei broke down. Why did this happen? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!
Chen You thought about it and decided to just explode on the spot himself.
Feeling tired, he just wanted to complete the mission well and didn’t want to do anything else. However, as a result, not only did he have to be on guard against two handsome teenagers, but he was also involved in a love triangle.
Chen You scratched the back of his neck. Come to think of it, Guang and Jing have skipped grades and will take the college entrance examination with him next year. How awesome is that? They were going to trample him onto the mud with their strength.
After the three of them had enough fun in the bamboo forest, they sat down.
Chen You’s leg accidentally pressed down on a ball of paper, which was completely crusted. It seemed that the toilet paper had been treated cruelly before its death.
He kicked the paper ball away, threw his schoolbag onto his legs, rested his chin on it, and began to wait for the School grass’ and Liang Mei’s scripts. No matter what they threw, he had to coordinate with them.
Xiao Langgou lowered his head and scrolled through his phone without saying a word.
Liang Mei didn’t cry from beginning to end. She was a strong girl. She probably knew that there was another thing that shocked her more than finding out who the third party was, and the seriousness of that matter was too great. “The students in Class 2 were expelled. Aren’t you afraid that I will tell others about this?”
Xiao Langgou didn’t even raise his head, like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water. “No.”
Chen You spoke at the same time as him, “Afraid.”
Xiao Langgou glanced at Chen You, as if to say, you’re playing with your dad, why are you even afraid of this?
Chen You rolled his eyes. He was truly scared.
Being expelled from school was a small matter. But if Sheng Qing found out about him and the school grass… Shit! He just remembered that there was a bug in the little bear pendant’s belly.
Sheng Qing would be like listening to an audio novel.
Chen You became very nervous. He kept muttering in his heart. It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ve already made my position clear. If Sheng Qing knows about it, he will only think I’m very smart.
His eyelids twitched. Oh no! Liang Mei said that he and the school grass kissed. Sheng Qing wouldn’t believe that he had lice on his head and that the school grass was getting so close to him to catch those.
Why won’t he believe it? Because if there were indeed lice, they would also have been on Sheng Qing’s head long ago.
It’s over.
Chen You buried his head in his schoolbag, feeling hopeless.
Xiao Langgou’s peripheral vision was on him, and Liang Mei’s line of sight was also on him. His behavior could easily be misinterpreted as being scared or uneasy.
They thought he might be afraid that Liang Mei would tell the story, and it would spread all over the school. Firstly, Xiao Langgou’s halo as the school grass was too dazzling. He was handsome, good at studying, and he was also good at basketball, which made him pull a lot of hatred from the male students. Secondly, a gay couple was just expelled today, and who would expect that there would be more akin to hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the school.
Liang Mei clasped her fingers and said, “Xiao Langgou, if you beg me, I won’t tell anyone.”
Xiao Langgou turned a deaf ear to it.
Liang Mei smiled bitterly and spoke with a hint of indifference in her words, “I don’t know why I fell in love with a bastard like you.”
She tore off the sharp edge of her nails and stared at the blood beads that appeared. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
She just lost her first love, and it was true that she was depressed, but she would not spread the matter around and let Sheng Xia and Xiao Langgou face expulsion as well as be laughed at by the other students.
Besides, Xiao Langgou didn’t win, right?
Liang Mei glanced at the handsome boy next to her. His grades had dropped so much during this final exam, which showed that he was worse off than her. He would probably be trapped there for a while.
When you fall in love with someone of the same sex, you have to be cautious, struggle, despise yourself, suffer, and be afraid of being discovered by people around you.
Thinking of this, Liang Mei felt much better.
Despite Liang Mei’s assurance, Chen You still felt hopeless. This couldn’t save him anymore.
Xiao Langgou continued to scroll through his phone without showing any expression, as if he didn’t care.
In fact, the matter was very simple and can be summed up in one sentence: Liang Mei has one-sided love for Xiao Langgou and Xiao Langgou has one-sided love for Chen You.
Ultimately, it’s all wishful thinking on both sides.
Chen You saw the car at the school gate. The back seat was not empty. A man was sitting there with his legs folded and his eyes closed.
He bent down to sit inside, eyes on the ground, ready to respond to any changes with the same attitude.
He thought that if word got out that a successful man in his thirties was competing with a teenager who was still in high school, it would be considered bullying a child. Moreover, if Sheng Qing really met with the school grass in person, it would be tantamount to acknowledging his identity as the school grass’ love rival. Sheng Qing would not do that as he didn’t take the school grass seriously.
Chen You shook off all the confusion in his head and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To put it bluntly, he didn’t want Sheng Qing to ruin the school grass’s future.
After all, the school grass was a good guy and hasn’t done anything bad. As long as he thought it through and didn’t dwell on trivial matters, he would definitely have a good future.
The car suddenly stopped. Chen You looked out the window and found that he was in front of a big barber shop.
The driver didn’t go to Sheng Qing’s side, but opened the door for Chen You.
Chen You looked at the man in confusion, but the man had his eyes closed and there was no change in his expression.
The driver called out, “Young Master Xia.”
Chen You already knew what was going on. He threw his schoolbag aside, got out of the car, and headed to the barber shop.
Wasn’t it because the school grass kissed his hair so the man wanted him to cut his hair?
Chen You’s lips twitched. Fortunately, Sheng Qing was not so perverted when the school grass tried to kiss him the first time, otherwise he would have lost a piece of skin on his face.
His scalp tingles just thinking about it.
The barber shop was large, with four floors. The first and second floors were for hair cutting, the third floor for hair care and maintenance, and the top floor was the employees’ resting area.
As soon as Chen You entered, the store manager who had been waiting for a long time came to greet him with a smile. Without asking whether he wanted a wash, cut, or blow-dry, the other directly took him to wash his hair.
Soon after, Chen You sat on a chair and the manager lowered his head to cut his hair with a very serious attitude, extremely cautious to not accidentally make a mistake.
There was no customer in the store. Only the manager and Chen You were present and no communication was exchanged throughout the whole process.
Chen You watched his hair get shorter and shorter until it disappeared and his bangs were left with only bits and pieces to the point that he wouldn’t need to take care of it anymore.
The store manager put down the scissors and found the youth looking at himself in the mirror with eyes wide open for a while before it narrowed into small slits. He swallowed his saliva and asked, “Young Master Xia, are you not satisfied with this hairstyle?”
The tone of his voice was very panicked.
Chen You answered, “No, no, I’m very satisfied.” I’m just too satisfied. How come I never realized that I’m so fresh?
Back in the car, Chen You pushed the man. “Dad, I got my hair cut.”
Sheng Qing opened his eyes and turned his head to look. The youth’s originally long hair was cut short, revealing his white ears. The outline of his face also became distinct, clean and refreshing. The cunning that overshadowed his handsomeness was especially obvious.
Chen You touched his hair, “Doesn’t it look good?”
Sheng Qing swept a glance ahead.
The driver immediately understood and got out of the car.
Before Chen You knew what was happening, a hand had grabbed the back of his head, and a shadow fell in front of his eyes, accompanied by the warmth of the man’s lips.
“Dad, please don’t pick on me.”
“Quiet.”
No way, damn it, why do you keep picking on me? I’m telling you, I will never cry!
While thinking like so, Chen You suddenly burst into tears.
The tears came abruptly and rolled down from his big eyes.
Damn it! Chen You choked which allowed the other party to pry open his mouth and feed him water.
After a full hour, the driver returned to the car and smelled a faint odor. He then drove the car calmly.
Chen You fell asleep on Sheng Qing’s legs.
