Shen Boyan became famous in one battle, and the legend of the eldest young master from Rongchuan spread throughout the school. From then on, Shen Boyan officially ascended to the throne of the unbeatable king of Haiping High School in Changning.
——
“Xia Xia, wait a moment, Xia Xia!”
At the elevator entrance, Shen Boyan caught up and draped the coat and scarf on Xia Shu’an’s body.
“It’s already mid-November. You wear too little. You need to wear more.”
The tall boy buttoned up his coat and muttered to himself, “How come you don’t even know this? You have to take care of yourself. What if you catch a cold? Even when you sleep at night, your feet are still freezing…”
Xia Shu’an’s neck was surrounded by a scarf, and he felt a little hot. He couldn’t help but pull it, revealing his lips and chin that were flushed red from the heat.
“I have clothes at school…”
“Then it’s still cold on the way to school!” Shen Boyan rebutted him righteously. Looking at him to show an expression of knowing his mistake (Xia Shu’an: admit your mistake early and be done with it), he took his hand and said:
“Let’s go.”
The weather turned cooler, and it started to rain lightly, so the two began to take the bus to school. After arriving at school, the two naturally separated. Before Xia Shu’an entered the classroom, he heard his deskmate asking him anxiously at the stairs:
“I heard that the class beauties of Grade 1 Class 5 confessed to Shen Boyan after school last night. Do you know?”
Xia Shu’an was stunned: “Confession?”
“Yes, yes.” His eyes sparkled with gossip: “You don’t know even though you’re with him every day?”
Xia Shu’an: “Well, he was indeed called away by a girl for a short while last night, but it’s not a confession.”
“What was it then?”
The young man looked upright, unaware of anything strange about what he said:
“He said someone asked him for advice on how to quickly improve their grades, and he recommended a general subject simulation!”
General subject simulation is really useful!
The deskmate looked shocked: It’s fake; this is too fake.
Whether it’s fake or not, no one knows, but during this period, many people have confessed to Shen Boyan. Confession isn’t that big of a deal. If you succeed, you will gain. If you don’t succeed, you will not lose. Just keep pursuing your dream!
The deskmate looked away, losing interest, but suddenly his expression brightened.
“Look, another girl is confessing to Shen Boyan!”
Xia Shu’an turned his head involuntarily at his excited voice and saw a girl standing in front of Shen Boyan on the aisle next to the lake and under the flower gallery. The girl looked at him shyly and handed out a pink envelope from her hand.
That is indeed a textbook confession scene.
Xia Shu’an was stunned for a moment, his eyes involuntarily avoiding the scene below. He didn’t know whether he felt it was wrong to spy on others or if he simply didn’t want to see this scene.
After waiting for a while, he pulled his deskmate and said, “Stop looking, let’s go back to the classroom.”
“Aren’t you curious about the result?”
“Not curious.” After a pause, he added, “If Shen Boyan accepts it, I’ll give them my blessing.”
Of course Shen Boyan didn’t accept it, because he wandered to class again at noon and went to lunch with him as always. The two of them didn’t bring up the matter of confession during the meal. Things changed after the evening self-study.
After the self-study, Xia Shu’an was about to go to the place they agreed to meet when a girl suddenly stopped him.
“Student Xia Shu’an!”
Xia Shu’an looked back and saw a student he wasn’t familiar with. He smiled and asked politely:
“Hello, what’s the matter?”
The strange girl hesitated and slowly took out a pink envelope from her bag.
Xia Shu’an: Huh?
The girl blushed: “Hello, student Xia Shu’an… I, I like you very much. Can I go out with you…”
Xia Shu’an was slightly in a daze. During the day, he was still gossiping about Shen Boyan. Unexpectedly, it would be his turn at night. Is this a sideways argument that people should not gossip about others?
His expression became upright, and the word “sorry” was about to roll out of his tongue when he suddenly heard a loud bang from his side, and a backpack fell heavily to the ground. The tall boy looked at them with an expression of disbelief. The next second, his expression suddenly became ferocious. He rushed forward and pulled Xia Shu’an away—if he could, he really wanted to carry him on his shoulder.
Xia Shu’an stumbled and only had time to turn around and shout to the stunned girl:
“Sorry, I can’t accept—”
—
“Xia Xia!!!”
At the entrance of the school, in a deserted corner, Shen Boyan’s hands fell heavily on Xia Shu’an’s shoulders. Under the shallow light, his face was full of depression. The next second, his small universe exploded:
“Xia Xia, I will not let you date others. I don’t agree, and I won’t allow it!!”
He looked like his kitten had been seduced by someone else’s little male dog. With a face full of jealousy, he said, “If you go out with someone else, I will… I will never give you egg cakes or grilled chicken wings again, never again!”
These two things are the only things currently in Xia Shu Xin’s mind at the moment (sarcasm).
Xia Shu’an wanted to say that he had no intention of dating anyone. Didn’t he reject the girl just now? But seeing Shen Boyan’s nervous look, he couldn’t help but tease him:
The young man raised his head and looked at the tall boy with an innocent look:
“What about sweet and sour pork ribs? I also want to eat braised fish.”
Shen Boyan was incompetent and furious: “No more, no more, NO MORE. I will never cook for you again!”
“Okay then.” Xia Shu’an could only say “helplessly”.
“Then I won’t date anyone else.”
Shen Boyan’s brain had already fast-forwarded from what to do if Xia Shu’an fell in love to the marvelous conception that if Xia Shu’an really dated someone else, he would tie him back to Rongchuan even at the risk of breaking the law. Hearing this, he was ecstatic:
“Really? Really? Do you really not want to date others?”
“No.” The boy’s eyes were bright, making Xia Shu’an helpless:
“I still have to study hard and don’t have time to fall in love.”
Oh, yes, Xia Xia is a good student.
However, just in case, Shen Boyan once again stated:
“Before college, no, I’m happy until you graduate from college. You have to study hard.”
“Okay.” Xia Shu’an wasn’t just coaxing him. He really had no intention of falling in love.
The smile returned to Shen Boyan’s face. Then he pretended to be generous and said, “In exchange, I also won’t fall in love before graduating from college. Xia Xia will always be with me.”
“Okay, we’ll be together forever.”
Only then did Shen Boyan become happy again.
However, the sequelae of this incident obviously did not end so quickly. After that day, Shen Boyan could be described as following Xia Shu’an closely. He usually followed him very closely, but now he followed even tighter, as if he was afraid that Xia Shu’an would run away with someone.
Xia Shu’an could only comfort him: “I really don’t plan to fall in love, and I only have one person who has confessed to me, which is not as many as you have in one morning.”
“But they are just following the trend. Those who like Xia Xia must have seen your inside and outside.”
Don’t you also have inside and outside?
“Then what do you want? How can I make you feel at ease?”
The boy said aggrievedly, “I am at ease. But I was just afraid. There is no conflict between fear and relief.”
Wow, he even engaged in dialectical thinking.
Xia Shu’an thought he was a bit cute, so he resisted the urge to tease him. He tilted his head and asked, “Then what do you want me to do?”
“You have to comfort me and soothe my restless heart…” The boy’s eyes suddenly lit up:
“You should sleep with me! I heard that frightened babies will feel at ease only if their parents accompany them. If Xia Xia sleeps with me, I will stop overthinking.”
Xia Shu’an suspected that this set of moves was just for the last sentence, but looking at the boy’s face with glowing eyes, he had to swallow the doubts in his heart.
Never mind, just sleep with him one more time.
It’s only sleeping anyway.
After receiving a positive reply, Shen Boyan was extremely excited. This time he wanted to sleep together on Saturday night so that he could get up late the next day.
On Saturday night, just after dinner, Shen Boyan took out a bunch of snacks from his small private storage and placed them on the table in front of the sofa in the bedroom, along with milk and milk tea, just like a child on a spring outing.
Xia Shu’an accompanied him to watch a movie with a funny expression. The two of them put their feet against each other and occasionally fought with their feet. Shen Boyan liked to use his hands and feet while watching movies. He would hold Xia Shu’an’s hand, play with his fingers, and sometimes intentionally step on his feet, making Xia Shu’an glare at him several times.
At around ten o’clock, the two finally went to bed.
After the light was turned off, Xia Shu’an could clearly feel the breath and the sight from another person in the darkness. Xia Shu’an was a little nervous and involuntarily backed out, but when he moved a little, an arm crossed half of the bed and hugged his waist.
“Xia Xia’s waist is so thin.”
Xia Shu’an was silent for a while and then said:
“Don’t be a hooligan.”
“How? Does telling the truth count?” The boy muttered his complaint.
With his waist being hugged, the room fell into silence again.
Until—
“Xia Xia’s neck is also very beautiful.”
“Where are you looking?” Xia Shu’an couldn’t help but coax him:
“Go to sleep. When we wake up, we can chat again.”
“Then kiss me and say good night to me.”
Xia Shu’an couldn’t do anything about him, so he rubbed his knee against the bedsheet and leaned over bit by bit, kissing his cheek.
“Good night.” He whispered.
Shen Boyan let out a short laugh.
He also came up, lowered his head, and kissed the tip of Xia Shu’an’s nose. His moist lips touched the dry tip of his nose, making Xia Shu’an’s chest feel like it was touched lightly by something.
The boy’s voice was crisp:
“Good night.”
They seemed to be asleep.
Outside the window, the moonlight quietly shone through the glass window and lay in a corner of the bed. Inside the room, there was only a faint gray color left, and when you reached out your hand, only a faint shadow could be seen.
Xia Shu’an opened his eyes in silence. The boy fell asleep quietly, and everything fell into peace with him. Xia Shu’an closed his eyes and lay peacefully in his arms again.
The next day, he slept until he woke up naturally, but because of his biological clock, he didn’t wake up very late.
When Xia Shu’an woke up, he felt something rubbing on his stomach.
It’s hot and hard, just like burning fire sticks.
Xia Shu’an opened his eyes in confusion and saw a young and handsome face leaning on the pillow. This face was full of impatience and anxiety at the moment. He hugged Xia Shu’an’s waist tightly, and his knees moved impatiently from time to time, rubbing his legs.
Xia Shu’an: “…”
