Yu Zoujin gazed at the indignant Jin Anzhu, his deep black eyes scrutinizing him.
It was as if he was silently questioning, “What else do you want?”
Jin Anzhu clenched his teeth, yearning to dig up a tree root, stuff Yu Zoujin inside, and bury him deep. With a determined stance, he stepped forward, his fists clenched tightly against his chest. He glared at Yu Zoujin, his fists trembling with anticipation.
“Please, I beg you, let me have a chance with Brother Sheng,” Jin Anzhu pleaded.
The chances of success were slim.
Deep down, Jin Anzhu knew it was impossible, and sure enough, Yu Zoujin ignored him completely. Jin Anzhu felt like collapsing on the spot, wailing in despair.
Please, just let me have my dream lover.
He had envisioned countless possibilities of a relationship with Sheng Yuan, but he never expected it would come to this point.

Yu Zoujin returned to his seat and completed the remaining questions on the test paper before focusing on English. Due to the need for overseas treatment, his family had arranged for him to apply to a school abroad, and he needed to complete the entrance exam.
He didn’t want to go, not at all. He had taken root in Sheng Yuan, and leaving felt like tearing his muscles and bones apart.
He stared at the book in his hand, his deep gaze as black as ink, devoid of any outward emotions. However, a storm brewed within him.
There were many people who liked Sheng Yuan.
It would be easy for Sheng Yuan to find someone better than him—someone with a complete body, a healthy mind, and a wonderful family. So many options…
The letters on the pages of the book blurred before his eyes.
If he could control his emotions, if he hadn’t accidentally hurt Sheng Yuan, the concept of going abroad would be completely foreign to him. But things happened, and to prevent further deterioration, he had to go.
But…
What if Sheng Yuan falls for someone else?
Yu Zoujin’s restlessness grew stronger, and his train of thought was abruptly interrupted by a cheerful voice.
Xiao Pang looked up from his book and said, “Oh, by the way, my sister is getting married this Sunday. Since our school is also on holiday this Sunday, would you like to come?”
Xiao Pang’s older sister was ten years older than him, and was getting married this year. Xia Zhiqi met her when they went to Xiao Pang’s house to hang out before. She was basically a gender-swapped version of Xiao Pang.
Xia Zhiqi: “Your sister is getting married?”
Xiao Pang: “My sister has been in a relationship for two years, and they decided to get married this year. Will you come?”
Xia Zhiqi: “Of course, we will come.”
Xiao Pang looked at Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan raised Yu Zuojin’s hand and said, “I’ll go as a representative for the two of us.”
Xiao Pang said, “Brother Sheng, you can just go as one person.”
However, Sheng Yuan didn’t respond.
Xiao Pang said, “Two people would be too much.”
Moreover, Yu Zuojin has never met his sister, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for Brother Sheng to go as a representative. He could just go as a friend.
As long as they offer their blessings, it’s enough.
Sheng Yuan’s gave him an expression of reassurance.
Xiao Pang: ?
Sheng Yuan glanced at Yu Zuojin and said, “I’ll cover the gift money.”
Xiao Pang:”…”
Suddenly, Xiao Pang’s gaze towards Yu Zuojin changed.
My goodness, you are so lucky!
But he didn’t dare to say anything.
After the lunch break, the boys returned to the school. The time in the third year of high school always seemed insufficient.
Twenty-four hours, sixty minutes per hour, but they always ended up with unfinished test papers, only played half a basketball game, ate in a hurry, and the classes flew by. They looked forward to the college entrance examination coming soon and the end of their senior year, but at the same time, they wished time could slow down a bit when they were together.
Ever since Sheng Chenggong found out about Yu Zuojin washing dishes as a part-time job outside, he started giving Yu Zuojin an allowance whenever he was giving Sheng Yuan.
When they left in the morning, Sheng Chenggong took out the allowance and handed it to both of them.
Sheng Yuan put it in his pocket and said, “Thanks, Dad.”
Yu Zuojin didn’t take it, so Sheng Chenggong directly handed it to him.
Yu Zuojin looked at him and said, “Thank you.”
Feeling like something was missing, he burst out a single character.
“Dad.”
Sheng Chenggong: “…”
Shut up.
Yu Zuojin looked at him as if he had heard something unclean, and said in a hoarse voice, “In my next life…”
Sheng Chenggong opened the door, pointing at the two of them and said, “Get out.”
Sheng Yuan: “…”
Yu Zuojin: “…”
Tomorrow is Sunday, Xiao Pang’s sister was getting married. Sheng Yuan took out the gift money from the allowance and checked the amount of money he had saved on his phone.
He planned to take Yu Zuojin shopping today.
Since Yu Zuojin will be going abroad soon, there will be a temperature difference between the foreign country and the domestic one. Sheng Yuan thought of buying him some clothes.
[System: Does he need you to buy clothes when his family is so wealthy?]
Sheng Yuan: “His family doesn’t know what kind of clothes he likes.”
[System: Do you know?]
Sheng Yuan: “I picked the ones he likes.”
[System: Then I know what kind of clothes he likes too.]
Sheng Yuan: “…”
“Unique ones?”
[System: Ugly ones.]
“…”
Even if Truly Ambitious often questions his aesthetics , Sheng Yuan has never doubted himself. Yu Zoujin always used the things he bought for him. Ever since he got the orange sports bag, Yu Zuojin no longer uses his old black school bag and carries the sports bag to school every day.
During the lunch break, Sheng Yuan took Yu Zuojin to the mall and bought many things. At a glance, there were all kinds of colors.
[System: Do you know?]
Sheng Yuan: “What?”
[System: Even the rainbow doesn’t have this many colors.]
Among that pile of clothes, every single item was a striking presence.
But Sheng Yuan didn’t think these clothes were ugly. On the contrary, they looked perfect on Yu Zuojin.
Sheng Yuan showed the purchased clothes to Yu Zuojin.
“Do you like them?”
Yu Zuojin didn’t hesitate and said, “I like them.”
His voice was hoarse, but it reached Sheng Yuan’s heart.
He dared to say it, and Sheng Yuan dared to believed it.
Truly Ambitious: “…”
What’s the difference between this and assisting tyranny?
Sheng Yuan’s face lit up with a smile. “If you like them, then it’s good.”
Yu Zuojin leaned closer to him and hugged him.
Sheng Yuan could feel his affection for him. Just being together and not doing anything made them both feel happy.
After picking the clothes, they sent them home during lunchtime. When they returned in the evening, Sheng Chenggong had already washed some of the close-fitting clothes, making it convenient for Yu Zuojin to wear them.
Sheng Yuan looked at Sheng Chenggong hanging the clothes on the balcony- he didn’t expect his father to care so much about Yu Zuojin.
“Dad, you treat him well.”
Sheng Chenggong sighed.
“Don’t say it.”
Sheng Yuan: ?
“I have three children at such an old age.”
“…”
Tomorrow is Sunday, so Sheng Wang and Sheng Yuan both had a day off. Late at night, he started pestering Sheng Yuan to play role-playing games.
He took out his plastic handcuffs.
“I’ll play the cop, and you guys play the bad guys.”
Sheng Yuan: “Okay.”
Yu Zuojin didn’t say anything but didn’t refuse either.
Soon, Sheng Wang attacked Sheng Yuan with his toy gun, going “biubiu,” and Sheng Yuan pretended to be shot and fell to the ground.
“I’m dead.”
Sheng Yuan fell to the ground, and Yu Zuojin also fell.
Sheng Wang was dumbfounded. “Big brother, what’s wrong with you?”
Yu Zuojin said, “I’m dead too.”
But you haven’t been shot!
Yu Zuojin didn’t speak directly, but his black eyes conveyed the message.
—Your brother is dead, and I don’t find it interesting to stay alive, so I’ll die too.
Truly Ambitious: “…”
‘I thought sacrificing oneself for love was an ancient legend.’
