Chapter 80



After a long while of not hearing anything from He Shen, he snuck a look up at him. One look and...

He Shen stared into his eyes. It was like He Shen’s eyes were lit up with flames. “I want to kiss you.”

Qiao Shao: “!”

Without waiting for his answer, He Shen bowed his head.

Qiao Shao quickly raised his hand between their lips.

He Shen was a bit startled and settled for gently laying a peck on his palm.

Even like this, Qiao Shao’s whole face was enveloped in a blush. It was like his palm had been burned by a small soldering iron.

He Shen said, “Wait for a while. I’ll be back in a bit.”

Qiao Shao nodded.

Qiao Shao was right in front of the wash basin, and when he looked up, he saw himself in the mirror.

How was this a person? This was obviously a spicy crayfish!

He washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and left the bathroom.

The 150-point breakfast He Shen made was still on the table but unfortunately, he didn’t dare touch it. He had been carried away by his success. He hadn’t eaten for two days; how could he eat such greasy foods?

But he really had been thinking about this dish for a long time. He thought about it during every meal.

He Shen returned shortly after. He had gone downstairs to buy some plain congee and fluffy bread.

He hadn’t eaten for a long time and his stomach needed a buffer. Plain congee or chicken soup would be best. Because time was limited, He Shen didn’t want Qiao Shao to stay hungry any longer, so he went downstairs to buy it.

Qiao Shao saw him come in and said first, “I wasn’t rejecting you just now.”

He Shen’s mind was completely on this child who hadn’t eaten for two days. He felt distressed for him the entire time. When he got upstairs, he wasn’t able to react to what he said. “En?”

Qiao Shao said embarrassedly, “I didn’t want you to kiss me because I hadn’t rinsed my mouth then...”

He had just thrown up. He Shen might not have been bothered but he himself was very much bothered!

He Shen almost lost his hold on the congee. His eyes were filled with smiles. He said a bit helplessly, “Qiao Guai Guai, you can’t be like this.”

Qiao Shao only used to think that he was using the name to make fun of him. But hearing it again now, it sounded completely different. He said, “Don’t call me that.”

He Shen came over and set the things he bought on the table. He couldn’t help poking his cheek, “You’re being so well-behaved. You’re really making it hard for me to stay a decent person, you know that?”

Qiao Shao didn’t understand at first. And then ...

He understood!

His heart was racing madly. He said dryly, “I just...”

He hadn’t finished talking when He Shen’s lips lightly brushed against his. “Okay, come and have some congee.”

Qiao Shao: “...”

He really needed to eat something to calm down!

Although the plain congee had no taste, it was indeed milder and more appropriate for Qiao Shao’s stomach right now.

Only once he had finished off a whole large bowl did Qiao Shao feel his empty stomach finally warm up. He even felt a bit more spirited and was now much more at ease.

He looked at the ham and the fried eggs, and regretfully said, “It’s a pity. You worked really hard on that.” But he couldn’t even eat it.

He Shen was afraid that he’d feel unwell again if he ate it so he simply threw it away. “I will make it for you for every test in the future.”

Qiao Shao’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Really?”

He Shen said, “As long as you want to eat it.”

“I want to!” He said but his expression suddenly drooped again, “but I wasn’t able to get 150 points.”

He Shen’s heart was squeezed tightly. “Did I pressure you too much?”

Qiao Shao shook his head.

He Shen thought for a while and asked directly. “Were you afraid of the silence?”

Qiao Shao looked up suddenly and looked at him in surprise.

He Shen ruffled his hair and said, “It was so obvious. How couldn’t I have noticed?”

In fact, he already had his doubts since the first exam, but at that time, they hadn’t known each other long, and he couldn’t confirm it.

After that, Qiao Shao’s displays proved his guess.

He wore headphones while sleeping. He won’t perform well in classroom tests when it gets too quiet. And in the recent math society assessment, because it was an online competition, he directly got a full score.

While it was true that He Shen anticipated the questions for him, it was only for the last two questions. Everything before that, Qiao Shao did on his own.

Qiao Shao mumbled, “It’s not obvious, only you managed to find out.”

He Shen: “It couldn’t be helped. After all, I stare at you every day.”

Qiao Shao: “...”

It’s over. Ever since he found out this guy wasn’t actually talking rubbish, his words were even more lethal!

He Shen explained, “I didn’t dare go to you during those two days, because I was afraid I’d disturb your performance on the exams.”

Qiao Shao was so nervous before the exam that he wanted to reassure him. But the more he reassured him, the more nervous he got. He could only avoid him and give him some space to breathe.

Qiao Shao was vexed. “It’s my own problem.”

He Shen: “Don’t worry, take your time. I feel you that you’re doing a lot better than before.”

But he performed worse on this test than last time!

Qiao Shao considered for a while and decided to come out with it. “I set a goal for myself before the exam.”

He Shen thought it was related to his studies and asked, “What was the goal?”

Qiao Shao’s cheeks gradually turned red, and he didn’t dare to look at him. But he braced himself and said, “I told myself that if I did better than last time, I would ...”

He Shen’s heart suddenly jumped.

Qiao Shao closed his eyes and whispered, “... Confess to you!”

He Shen: “!”

His heart wasn’t just jumping anymore. It had just completely stopped. Insufficient blood supply left his brain blank for a few seconds.

Saying so, Qiao Shao was vexed once again. “Who knew that when I set the goal, it made me even more nervous ...”

Seeing He Shen remain silent, he said awkwardly. “I definitely performed worse than last time, so while the results haven’t come out...”

He grabbed his chance to come here!

“Qiao Shao.” He Shen interrupted him in a low voice.

Qiao Sha glanced at him. “Huh?”

He Shen apologized and then got up. He put his hand against the back of Qiao Shao’s neck and kissed him.

This was not the light as a dragonfly-touching-the-water-type of kiss as before. Nor did he immediately pull back afterwards. It was an endlessly lingering kiss...

Qiao Shao felt his entire person burning up.

Thi-this ...

When the two separated, He Shen pressed against his forehead and said, “Stop speaking ...”

This kiss made Qiao Shao’s scalp tingle. How could he find it in himself to keep talking?

He Shen’s lips were curved in a smile. He said, “It really is a great thing that I met you.”

Qiao Shao wanted to say, ‘For me too.’

He Shen pressed a finger to his lips. “Let me finish.”

Qiao Shao lowered his eyes and listened obediently.

He Shen took a breath and gave a lifelong promise. “Qiao Shao, I love you.”

Qiao Shao suddenly looked up at him, his eyes were like the beautiful night sky lit up with blooming fireworks.

He Shen bowed his head and kissed him again. “Don’t say it.”

Qiao Shao didn’t understand.

He Shen embraced him and said, “Don’t say it now.”

But Qiao Shao really wanted to say it!

He also ...

He Shen hugged him tightly and said, “Tell me when you grow up.”

Qiao Shao stared blankly.

He Shen took a deep breath and said, “You’re not yet an adult, and I don’t want to bully you. But if you say that, I really won’t be able to stop myself.”

Qiao Shao understood. Even the tip of his ears turned red and he stuttered, “Wh- what!”

What was this guy thinking?

He Shen buried his face against his neck and kept it there. “Anyway, don’t say it.”

This kind of childish voice, Qiao Shao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “How can you be like this?”

He Shen: “This is how I am.”

Qiao Shao hugged him back gently. “Whether I say it or not, don’t you already know?”

He Shen’s heart felt unbearably sweet. “Anyway, you still can’t say it.”

Qiao Shao answered, “En.”

Then he’ll just quietly say it in his heart now —-

I’m really lucky to have met you. He Shen, I love you too.

In the afternoon, Qiao Shao had to go home.

Although he had the driver bring him here, he was also afraid that Da Qiao would be worried at home.

Before leaving, He Shen asked him, “Can’t you stay?”

Qiao Shao was tempted, but he still insisted. “The holidays just started, I should at least stay home for a bit.”

He Shen thought of another thing and said, “Alright, I’ll send you back.”

“No!” Qiao Shao said, “I can take the subway, it’s fast.”

He Shen said, “Then, I’ll accompany you.”

Qiao Shao asked, “Then you’ll take it to come back here again?”

He Shen said, “It doesn’t matter, I like taking the subway.”

Qiao Shao laughed at him, “He Shen, you’ve got some very peculiar interests.”

Although Shen and ‘god’ sounded familiar, He Shen heard which one he meant.

He Shen said, “It can’t be helped. What can I do when my sweetheart loves taking the subway?”

How could Qiao Shao be poorer than he was? “I don’t like taking the subway!”

He Shen said, “Then I’ll get you a taxi.”

Qiao Shao said immediately, “No need!”

He Shen sighed, “What I just said was wrong. My sweetheart is so thrifty and industrious in running our household. He insists on making me save money, so he has to take the subway.”

Qiao Shao: “..................”

This is where you’re definitely wrong. Your sweetheart is just itching to put 10 million into your cash card.

Finally, Qiao Shao left by himself.

It was three o’clock in the afternoon when Qiao Shao said he was going to go home but it was almost four o’clock when he actually got in the car.

He was puzzled when he saw that time—what have they been doing for almost an hour?

It seemed that they did nothing and before they knew it time had already gone by.

On the way home, Qiao Shao was still a little sad.

Why did students have to take summer vacations?

Couldn’t they just go to class every day?

It would be difficult to see He Shen every day over the holidays.

Qiao Shao had a big appetite that night, and Da Qiao was bursting with joy at the sight.

Qiao Zongmin said, “Which classmate did you meet up with?”

Sure enough he had to go out and play. After having some fun, his mental state was completely different!

Before, Qiao Shao used to always mention He Shen, but now that the two weren’t just seatmates anymore, he was actually a little embarrassed.

He said, “Just my seatmate ...”

Qiao Zongmin didn’t doubt him. “Your seatmate sounds like a good guy. If the opportunity arises, you’ll have to introduce me.”

Thankfully, Qiao Shao already had enough to eat, or he might have been scared enough to lose his appetite. He said, “Don’t! If he sees you, he’ll go to avoid you and walk right past me.”

Qiao Zongmin said worriedly, “Hey! When can I have some identity?”

Qiao Shao ignored him. “Who told you to keep showing your face in public!”

In fact, Da Qiao couldn’t be blamed. He was a billionaire who was barely forty-five years old. To top it off, he was handsome and dashing. It would be difficult for him not to be famous.

Qiao Shao went out early the next morning.

Qiao Zongmin asked him, “Going to see your seatmate again?”

Qiao Shao’s face warmed up and said, “Today’s the league competition for our math society. I’m going to participate in the contest.”

He used this reason on He Shen to leave his apartment yesterday.

Today he used it once again to dupe Qiao Zongmin, um ... It was very useful.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zongmin quickly said, “Hurry up then. Don’t delay.”

Qiao Shao said, “I won’t be back for lunch at noon.”

Qiao Zongmin responded, “Okay, okay!”

Qiao Shao thought for a while and said, “Maybe, tonight...”

“It’s okay!” Qiao Zongmin said, “You can stay over at your seatmate’s place tonight.”

Qiao Shao thought about how there’s only a single bed in He Shen’s house. His heart gave a jump, “No, I’ll be home tonight.”

After saying so, Qiao Shao left without looking back.

It’s over. Once Da Qiao finds out what kind of seatmate his seatmate is, would he beat him to death?

Regardless, he likes He Shen anyway. Even if he gets beaten, he’ll still like him. Hadn’t Da Qiao also been beaten by his granddad in those days?

When he arrived at He Shen’s place, He Shen kissed him.

Qiao Shao was afraid he’d kiss him like that again. But no, he just brushed against his lips.

Qiao Shao was a little relieved. He was also a little, um, really, just the tiniest but regretful.

The test time was set at 9 am. Qiao Shao hadn’t come too early and there was no time to delay.

He Shen prepared very well. The computer in the study was on, so there was no need to stare at the small mobile phone screen to answer the test questions. There are all kinds of scratch papers and pens on the table. Even his ergonomic chair was adjusted for Qiao Shao’s height to ensure he was comfortable. Of course, the entire study was surrounded by soothing light music. It was neither too loud to distract him from answering the questions, nor was it too quiet.

Qiao Shao was satisfied with these preparations, there was only one thing he wasn’t very satisfied with.

That is......

He Shen was sitting right next to him!

Once the exam started, Qiao Shao focused on answering the questions and this guy stared at him.

Qiao Shao had just finished one question, He Shen fed him a piece of watermelon. Qiao Shao ate it and frowned from the excessive sweetness. He Shen even had a glass of warm water with a straw in it ready. Qiao Shao simply had to drink from it...

After three questions, Qiao Shao could not help looking at the person right next to him. “Get out!”

He Shen made a zippering gesture against his mouth, implying that he wouldn’t say anything and wouldn’t disturb him from doing the problems.

But even if you keep quiet, you’re still doing all sorts of things!

“No, no!” Qiao Shao pushed him, “I’ll be distracted if you sit here.”

He Shen didn’t want to go. “I won’t feed you fruit or make you drink water. I promise not to disturb you.”

Qiao Shao said, “But I can’t help wanting to look at you!”

He Shen: “.........”

Qiao Shao blushed and said, “Get out, go. I’ll be finished soon.”

He Shen was truly coaxed by him. How could he not comply?

Qiao Shao pushed him out the door. Just before he closed the door, he then whispered, “Wait.”

He Shen thought he had changed his mind.

Qiao Shao grabbed his collar, pulled him down, stood on tiptoes and planted a kiss on his forehead.

He Shen trembled.

Without waiting for his response, the door of the study was slammed shut, and was locked from the inside for good measure.

After having the door slammed on his face, He Shen’s couldn’t stop his lips from ticking up. It was like a whole jar of sugar had been tipped into his heart.

Qiao Shao stood against the door for a while, when the heat on his face subsided, he remembered that he was in the middle of a competition!

He hurried back to his chair and saw ...

Sure enough, he had missed a question.

Aaah, this drink of misfortune of a man! Young love really did cause people to err. What the class teacher said was true!
