DTTCM Chapter 80

The night cast a serene stillness upon everything, freezing the world in motion. The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass was amplified, bringing attention to the subtle noises that often go unnoticed, only audible in the quiet moments.

Two meters away from the gray wall, the shrubs rustled, whispering and trembling. The evergreen shrubs, aptly named for their perennial green leaves that clung to the branches even in winter, refused to let go.

The leaves on the shrubs occasionally trembled and swayed, creating larger movements. In the silence of the deep night, the sounds were particularly pronounced, especially…

“Damn you… crazy…mmm—”

“Yu… beep—beep-beep—”

“Roll!”

A figure suddenly jumped out from the shrubs, leaves still clinging to their head and shoulders. His clothes were disheveled, giving a messy appearance.

Sheng Yuan cursed as he stepped out of the shrubs, his mouth was swollen, tingling, and throbbing. His lips appeared thicker than usual.

Now he understood that he shouldn’t have shown any kindness to this bastard.

That imposing weight pressed him down, making it impossible to move, forcing his chin up to expose his tongue for the other person to ravage.

Initially, Sheng Yuan had followed the principle of reciprocating when someone came to visit late at night, intending to give Yu Zuojin a small souvenir of the winter camp as a token of appreciation for his long journey. Sheng Yuan jumped off the wall, and Yu Zuojin caught him steadily with his outstretched arm.

Sheng Yuan had always been a smart person, knowing what he wanted. The loss of control and the anguish and anger within his chest had made him reflect deeply. Perhaps, just perhaps, he might have some feelings for Yu Zuojin.

So just one kiss would suffice.

It was late at night, and the other person would soon be leaving, and…

It truly felt like a secret rendezvous.

Sheng Yuan’s hands cupped Yu Zuojin’s head, pulling him closer, and he pressed a loud, resounding kiss on his lips.

Alright, let’s go.

Sheng Yuan turned around, intending to leave. The nighttime temperature was low, chilling his hands and feet, but he realized he couldn’t move away from Yu Zuojin.

Sheng Yuan blinked. The hands around his waist and lower back felt like they were welded to him, immovable. A fake smile appeared on his lips.

“I should go back now.”

His gaze carried a warning.

Release me immediately if you want me to speak with you calmly right now.

Yu Zuojin stared at him with his black eyes.

I won’t.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Don’t force me to slap you in the middle of the night.

Then, they entered the shrubs. His hands and feet were no longer cold, and his anger surged. Yu Zuojin had a strong frame and considerable strength, and his weight was not insignificant. He pinned Sheng Yuan down, rendering him immobile. Neither scolding nor fighting back worked; the more he scolded, the more relentless Yu Zuojin became. Sheng Yuan’s jaw felt as if it would dislocate, but Yu Zuojin was not finished yet.

In the end, Sheng Yuan couldn’t hold it in and cursed loudly, struggling to break free from the shrubs.

Truly Ambitious, who had been unblocked, heard Sheng Yuan’s string of curses.

It looked at Yu Zuojin, who stood up from the bushes with a completely ordinary expression, shamelessly acting as if nothing had happened.

There was immense joy in the black eyes.

A demeanor that showed no remorse.

In comparison, Sheng Yuan’s clothes were wrinkled, and there were even leaves on his head. He really looked pitiful.

Truly Ambitious shook it’s head.

Why did you provoke him earlier?

Sheng Yuan didn’t listen to the heartfelt advice earlier, and now look at what happened.

[System: You shouldn’t do this in the future.]

[System: Listen to the system and you’ll have a full meal.]

Sheng Yuan: “…”

He was full even without eating.

This time, Sheng Yuan didn’t delay and walked briskly towards the gray wall. His legs were a bit weak and the wall was not short. Escaping from Yu Zuojin’s grasp earlier had cost him a lot of energy. He stood at the base of the wall, and tried to catch his breath first.

Yu Zuojin also walked over, glanced at the wall, and then crouched beside Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan: “What are you doing?”

Yu Zuojin leaned his shoulder towards him, indicating that Sheng Yuan should step on him to go back.

Sheng Yuan hesitated a bit, but his legs were indeed weak at the moment. He didn’t refuse either.

Yu Zuojin had broad shoulders and strength, and his arm was partially suspended in the air to prevent Sheng Yuan from falling.

Sheng Yuan stepped on him with one foot, while his other hand lightly supported the wall. Yu Zuojin’s shoulder tensed, and after confirming that Sheng Yuan was stable, helping him to leap up.

“Go back.” Sheng Yuan turned back before leaping down from the wall. “Rest assured, when I return, gege will still like you.”

Yu Zuojin stood under that wall for a long time before leaving. Joyful bubbles surrounded him.

Sheng Yuan jumped down from the wall and didn’t forget to pick up the shoulder bag he had previously placed on the ground.

It was really heavy.

The weight was probably equivalent to all the textbooks from the third year of high school combined.

Sheng Yuan hung the bag on his shoulder, relieving some of the burden.

He couldn’t figure out how Yu Zuojin managed to climb over the wall with this bag.

Sheng Yuan retraced his steps, quietly returning to Room 306. Guo Gang was sound asleep, wrapped in a blanket.

He was also a little tired.

He had tossed and turned in the first half of the night, unable to sleep. But now, as soon as he stepped into the dormitory, an overwhelming drowsiness struck him like a mighty tornado.

He placed the bag on the bedside floor, took off his jacket and pants, and fell into the bed. In less than a minute, he fell into a deep sleep, dreamless throughout the night.

When he woke up again, it was already 7:30 in the morning. Guo Gang had just finished washing his hair and walked out of the bathroom.

“Good morning.”

Sheng Yuan yawned. “Morning.”

He lifted the blanket and got up to wash his face in the bathroom.

Guo Gang was blow-drying his hair outside and noticed the black bag next to Sheng Yuan’s bed.

?

Where did the black bag come from?

He remembered that it wasn’t there yesterday, and he hadn’t seen it when Sheng Yuan arranged things last night.

Could it be that he remembered wrongly?

If Sheng Yuan could hear his inner thoughts, he would firmly tell the other person not to doubt himself.

You didn’t remember wrongly.

This bag indeed wasn’t there yesterday.

It was bulging, and the chain was about to snap, on the verge of collapse.

Guo Gang was curious and waited for Sheng Yuan to come out of the bathroom before asking, “Sheng Yuan, what’s in your bag? It’s so stuffed, it looks exaggerated.”

Sheng Yuan glanced at the bag, it was indeed stuffed to the extreme. He had no idea what Yu Zuojin had put inside.

Sheng Yuan joked, “Maybe there’s a watermelon inside.”

It was an out-of-season fruit, but Guo Gang believed him, “Really?”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

This innocent appearance was just like when Zheng Zilu thought that Yu Zuojin wanted to be friends with him.

Sheng Yuan squatted in front of the bed, pulled open the bag, and a deep green color caught his eye.

Looking at the contents of the bag—

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

There really was a watermelon.

Guo Gang exclaimed, “Wow, Sheng Yuan, you actually brought a watermelon!”

Not only was there a watermelon, but there were also strawberries. However, some of them were squashed. Yu Zuojin was a bit clumsy in daily life and hadn’t packed them well.

Seeing the squashed strawberries, Sheng Yuan burst into laughter.

Until he took out everything and saw a white flower at the bottom of the bag.

Sheng Yuan didn’t recognize the variety of the flower, but the packaging was exquisite.

Although the petals were wilted from being pressed, they were still beautiful.

Sheng Yuan walked to the window, took a curtain clip, and clipped the flower, hoping to make it a dried flower.

The watermelon and strawberries were out-of-season fruits, and the well-picked ones Yu Zuojin bought weren’t cheap. In addition to the beautifully packaged flower, he also stuffed two thousand yuan for Sheng Yuan before the winter camp.

Truly Ambitious calculated frantically.

How many dishes did Yu Zuojin have to wash? He really… it wanted to cry.

That bag was like a bottomless pit. Sheng Yuan took out a watermelon, then a large box of strawberries, and finally, there was a bouquet of flowers pressed inside.

Guo Gang looked at the flower Sheng Yuan clipped and said, “Sheng Yuan, you also brought flowers when you came here. How elegant.”

Sheng Yuan: “To see the object and think of a person.”

“Who? Who?”

Sheng Yuan: “My boyfriend.”

Guo Gang: “You have an elephant at home?”
*Instead of “Boyfriend (dui xiang)” , Guo Gang heard “elephant (da xiang)”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Your imagination is quite rich.

But it was also because Sheng Yuan didn’t seem like someone in a puppy love.

After Sheng Yuan and Guo Gang had breakfast, they went to one of the main locations for the winter camp activities, the auditorium. The place was large, but there weren’t many students, just over fifty in total. However, with the addition of teachers, leaders, and staff from the competition, the auditorium didn’t feel empty anymore.

The college entrance examination was brutal, with over fifty students competing for three guaranteed admission spots. It sounded manageable, and the daily activities were scheduled for 9 o’clock. Now, students started to enter the auditorium in groups of three.

When Sheng Yuan arrived, there were already over twenty people in the auditorium. As soon as he entered, he attracted a lot of attention.

After all, he had just arrived yesterday and made a name for himself by fighting with another k student. As long as it didn’t reach the ears of those leaders, they couldn’t control how students discussed the matter privately.

When Sheng Yuan walked into the auditorium, he saw Huang Anchong sitting in the middle.

He smiled and greeted, “Hi~”

Huang Anchong’s heart skipped a beat, and he quietly avoided eye contact. Somehow, after Sheng Yuan apologized to him yesterday, he always felt a strange sensation, as if he was being watched.

There were plenty of empty seats in the auditorium, but Sheng Yuan chose to sit next to him.

Sheng Yuan walked over with long strides, a pleasant smile on his handsome face as he politely asked, “Do you mind if I sit here?”

The surrounding students instantly looked over.

What? They want to sit together? Weren’t they fighting fiercely just yesterday? They made up today?

Amazing!!!

Huang Anchong was like a smiling mouse. Looking at Sheng Yuan, he struggled to maintain his smile. Yesterday’s fight between them was beyond ugly, and their true natures were exposed. In private, they couldn’t stand even a glance from each other. But now, Sheng Yuan was showing friendliness towards him.

Everyone around was watching them, and for a moment, the two of them became the focus of the auditorium. Based on Huang Anchong’s usual good-natured appearance, he would surely say he didn’t mind, put on the hat of being magnanimous and forgiving, and leave a perfect impression on other classmates.

However, looking at Sheng Yuan in this moment, Huang Anchong felt uneasy. He had no sense of direction and felt as if he were floating in mid-air. He stared at Sheng Yuan, vigilant against any of his movements, as if the other person were poisonous and he wanted desperately to avoid him.

Don’t come any closer!!!

Huang Anchong’s mouth twitched, and he quietly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, “I mind.”

His voice was extremely soft, and no one around could hear it.

Sheng Yuan pouted, as if expressing regret. Then, he slyly glanced at Huang Anchong and sat down in the chair next to him.

Huang Anchong:!

Seeing Huang Anchong’s shocked expression, Sheng Yuan imitated his earlier mannerism and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

The volume was just as low, and others couldn’t hear it either.

“I don’t care if you mind.”
