DTTCM Chapter 84

The bell rang for the end of class, and the study atmosphere in the classroom relaxed. However, having been a teacher for many years, Teacher Li easily controlled the whole class and said, “Students, don’t move yet. Let’s finish this problem before leaving.”

“Yu Zuojin, write the acceleration on the blackboard,” Teacher Li instructed, turning his head.

As a result, he saw Yu Zuojin already opening the door.

Clearly, Yu Zuojin wasn’t under control.

Teacher Li: “…”

“Yu Zuojin, where are you going? Come back here!”

Yu Zuojin turned around and glanced at him, locking eyes for a few seconds. Then he raised his hand and peeled off the suction cup on the side of his head.

His face was filled with the words: I can’t hear you.

Teacher Li: “…”

You rascal!!!

He definitely heard it!!

If it were the usual, Sheng Yuan would still give Teacher Li some face. But because of the two-week closed learning during the winter camp, they haven’t seen each other for two weeks.

Every day, countless ants crawled on his chest, itching and tingling, but he couldn’t see him.

Sheng Yuan was afraid of delaying the class in Class Ten, so after greeting everyone when their attention focused on him, he disappeared at the back window and walked to the front door, leaning against the wall and waiting for Yu Zuojin.

Yu Zoujin spotted him as soon as he came out.

A curve appeared on his straight and usually flat mouth, and the smiling face was as miraculous as a blossoming iron tree.

It was the last class in the morning, so Yu Zuojin grabbed Sheng Yuan’s wrist and wanted to pull him closer. He was anxious, but he still had to maintain the pure amd innocent image.

There were still students coming out of the classrooms around them, so Sheng Yuan patted him. “Let’s go back to the dormitory first.”

His eyes sparkled with excitement and impatience.

Yu Zoujin saw his proactive behavior and blushed a bit. He nodded his head and held his hand without letting go.

The two of them walked back to the dormitory together. When they entered Room 408, a rush of warm air greeted them. Sheng Yuan loosened his down jacket collar but didn’t take it off. Seeing Yu Zuojin sticking to him like a magnet, he pointed with his hand, “You sit on the bed first.”

Yu Zoujin obediently sat down.

Sheng Yuan walked up to him and said, “Close your eyes.”

Yu Zoujin gulped nervously.

Sure enough, distance does make the heart grow fonder. The other party took the initiative after coming back.

Yu Zoujin stared at him, reluctant to close his eyes. He pursed his lips and then relaxed them. His throat was hoarse and words were churning in his mouth.

“You…”

Sheng Yuan smiled, “What is it?”

Yu Zoujin had never said such words before because no one had ever responded to him.

“Did you…”

“Think of me.”

He separated the sentence. Despite his terrifying appearance, he unexpectedly showed a pure and innocent side.

He wanted to ask, “Do you miss me?”

Sheng Yuan laughed and said, “What do you think?”

Yu Zoujin remained silent.

“I just came back. The headmaster told me that I could go home on leave, but I didn’t want to. So, I left my luggage in the security office.”

Sheng Yuan leaned closer to him, looking directly into his eyes. “Yu Zoujin, I missed you so much.”

Immediately, Yu Zuojin’s face visibly turned red, from his cheek to his ear, his neck, and all the way up to his chest. Even his breathing became heavier.

“I missed you too.”

He seemed excited, and his grip on Sheng Yuan’s hand became stronger, but he tried hard to control the strength in his palm.

Sheng Yuan urged again, “Close your eyes.”

Yu Zoujin stared at Sheng Yuan’s plump lips.

When a couple is about to kiss, one usually tells the other to close their eyes.

Yu Zoujin licked his lips and reached out to hold Sheng Yuan’s other hand.

However, Sheng Yuan shook his head, “I need my hand.”

Was he going to embrace him?

Yu Zoujin let go and gave him a deep look before finally closing his eyes.

“Are they closed tightly?”

“Mm.”

He was filled with anticipation.

When Yu Zoujin closed his eyes, Sheng Yuan quickly unzipped his down jacket and took out the ugly thing inside.

Yu Zoujin waited with his eyes closed, but Sheng Yuan’s lips didn’t come down.

“Open your eyes.”

Yu Zoujin: ?

He opened his eyes and saw a bright purple knitted scarf.

Instead of getting a kiss, he received this ugly thing.

Yu Zoujin: “…”

Truly Ambitious looked at Yu Zuojin’s disappointed expression and shook its head.

Still too young.

Unlike Yu Zoujin’s mature mind, it had long been accustomed and had no illusions about Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan bought this scarf on the way back. When passing by a clothing store, his eyes swept over it, and he was instantly captivated by its beauty. The bright purple scarf was displayed in the shop window, looking incredibly beautiful.

When he bought it, he even asked the shop owner.

“Is no one buying such a beautiful scarf?”

Shop owner: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Don’t you want to think about why you’re the only one buying?

The shop owner looked at Sheng Yuan’s departing figure with joy.

Finally, the scarf was sold!

Sheng Yuan handed the scarf to Yu Zuojin, “Do you like it?”

Yu Zoujin remained silent for a few seconds, “I like it.”

Truly Ambitious:!

Why speak against your will?

Seeing that the person has received the gift, Sheng Yuan clapped his hands. It was time for him to go home.

“You should go eat. You have classes in the afternoon.”

Sheng Yuan zipped up his down jacket, “I’ll go first.”

He walked towards the door, but when he had just opened it slightly, the door was forcefully shut with a loud bang. Then he was enveloped from behind.

What’s going on?

Sheng Yuan turned around to look at him.

Yu Zoujin said, “I had some tests.”

Sheng Yuan’s eyes went wide as he instantly remembered their previous agreement.

But he also recalled Yu Zuojin’s audacity during their last encounter in the bushes.

Sheng Yuan: I need to come up with a way to get out of this.

“You didn’t bring your backpack back, so the test papers should all be in the classroom. Without evidence, it’s hard for me to…” Sheng Yuan casually found an excuse.

Yu Zoujin turned around and lifted a pillow. Like magic, he took out a stack of test papers.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Who on earth puts test papers under a pillow?

Can you really sleep at night ?

Yu Zoujin walked back with the test papers and started counting them in front of him.

“1, 2, 3… 7… 9…”

Then he handed them to Sheng Yuan.

“They all have improved scores.”

Sheng Yuan’s eyebrows twitched. In just half a month, did Class Ten have so many exams?

“Well… you must have worked hard.”

Yu Zoujin: (stare)

Sheng Yuan: “…”

“You said it.”

“What?”

“On my lap.”

Sheng Yuan shifted his gaze. “Did I say it?”

Yu Zoujin frowned, seemingly angry, but he didn’t explode on him. He just stared, attempting to convey disapproval through his eyes.

With Yu Zoujin’s impulsive personality, he wouldn’t be able to go home without kissing today.

Sheng Yuan decided to just bite the bullet. “You go sit on the bed first, I’ll prepare.”

Yu Zoujin looked at him without saying a word.

“Are you afraid I’ll run away?” Sheng Yuan asked. “Am I the kind of person who breaks promises?”

Yu Zoujin shook his head and walked towards the bed, but he made sure to lock the door with his back hand.

Click.

The pinnacle of saying one thing but meaning another.

Sheng Yuan looked at Yu Zuojin eagerly waiting over there and then at the locked door. He could easily open it and walk out, but he had already made a promise earlier. With a determined heart, Sheng Yuan turned and walked towards Yu Zoujin.

With one swift motion, he straddled Yu Zoujin’s legs.

Yu Zoujin gasped unconsciously, and his hands fumbled around, unsure where to place them. Eventually, he settled for holding Shengyuan with his arms, not daring to move.

“Tongue,” he muttered.

Sheng Yuan’s brain began to heat up.

“Did we make such an agreement?”

“Yes.”

Sheng Yuan couldn’t carefully ponder if they had or not. After a mental struggle, he opened his lips and extended his tongue.

Afterward, silence enveloped Room 408, only broken by the sound of lips smacking.

Time seemed to stretch on, and Sheng Yuan couldn’t breathe. He pushed Yu Zoujin away, gasping for air. “Alright, enough.”

Seeing that Sheng Yuan was breathless, Yu Zoujin didn’t force him further.

Sheng Yuan was drenched in sweat; he couldn’t continue kissing.

His mouth felt numb and swollen, almost devoid of sensation.

That long kiss only counted as one.

There were a total of eleven test papers. How long would he have to keep kissing?

“Let’s save the rest for later.”

Sheng Yuan hopped off Yu Zoujin’s lap, surprisingly not held back by him.

“Okay.”

Sheng Yuan was taken aback.

So straightforward!

Yu Zoujin’s face remained unchanged, without any trace of unhappiness from earlier.

Sure enough, things were different when children grew up and became sensible.

Yu Zoujin put the test papers back under the pillow and said calmly, “One kiss down, twelve more to go.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

You scoundrel, there are only eleven test papers!

Sheng Yuan argued logically, “We already kissed once, so why are there twelve more times?”

There should only be ten left, yet the number increased.

Yu Zoujin shamelessly replied, “Interest.”

Sheng Yuan: “Can you still calculate like that?”

Yu Zoujin glanced at him and turned his head. “I’m good at math.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

You’re not even guilty.

Yu Zoujin, the cunning merchant, said, “The test papers were available a long time ago.”

“I didn’t count the days when you weren’t here.”

Meaning, you should be happy I didn’t count interest for all those days.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

This excuse is just to convince yourself.

Yu Zoujin was going to have lunch, while Sheng Yuan was heading home. They walked out of Room 408 together. Yu Zoujin remained as composed as ever, while Sheng Yuan’s lips had become swollen.

Zheng Zilu bumped into them in the narrow corridor. “Sheng Yuan, what happened to your lips?”

Sheng Yuan glanced at the unscrupulous merchant beside him. “Got bitten by a dog.”

Yu Zoujin: “…”

Sheng Yuan retrieved his luggage from the security office and thanked the security guard before taking a taxi home.

Sheng Chenggong had already heard the news of Sheng Yuan’s acceptance to a top university. When Sheng Yuan arrived at their noodle shop, he saw a red banner hanging, with golden letters that read:

“Congratulations on Our Son’s Admission! Free Meals for Three Days at Our Shop.”

When he walked in, he saw cascades of decorative ribbons and flower art.

Sheng Chenggong took his luggage. “How was it? Were these past few days tiring?”

“It was alright.”

Sheng Yuan didn’t let him take the luggage away. “By the way, I brought something for you.”

Sheng Chenggong was surprised.

Sheng Yuan continued, “I saw it was suitable on my way back and bought it.”

He opened his luggage and took out a pair of orange pants with green accents.

Sheng Chenggong’s eyes darkened.

What filial piety that stirs up heaven and earth!

Feng Juan’s grinned and looked at Sheng Chenggong. When she saw he didn’t speak, she nudged him. “Our child bought it for you, don’t let his heart go cold.”

Seeing Feng Juan speak into Sheng Chenggong’s ear while occasionally glancing at the pants, Sheng Yuan wondered. ‘Was she jealous?’

“Mom, I have something for you too.”

He took out a scarf with a pattern that was popular ten years ago.

Feng Juan: “…”

No one can escape.
