Without the daily anxiety of Sheng Yuan not completing missions, Truly Ambitious seemed to instantly grow dozens of times braver.
It kept comforting Sheng Yuan, who was questioning the meaning of life.
[System: Don’t humans also have a saying, something like repaying a life-saving favor by offering oneself?]
“People are different.”
[System: Just say whether that saying exists or not.]
“…”
Sheng Yuan closed his eyes in frustration.
It does.
He sat quietly in the chair with his hands hanging by his sides… as if he were dead.
Truly Ambitious was greatly alarmed.
Was the blow that heavy?
Sheng Yuan wouldn’t suddenly collapse, would he?
[System: Host! Host, are you alright?]
[System: Host, you can’t die!]
Sheng Yuan slowly exhaled.
Proving that he was still alive.
The watch on his left hand, which was cold when he first put it on, now felt warm along with the wrist it was wrapped around.
There were two little people in his mind, pulling at each other, fiercely contending as if they wanted to tear each other apart.
Conscience: “Yu Zoujin saved you without seeking wealth or benefits.”
Struggle: “But he wants you to bigu.”
Sheng Yuan opened his eyes.
It would be better to seek wealth and benefits.
Sheng Yuan raised his wrist, and the watch’s dial automatically illuminated, displaying the time, date, weather, and wind speed.
It was exquisitely crafted, with intricate textures, it was clearly the type that he would like.
In the pocket of his down jacket, he still carried the red gloves Yu Zuojin knitted for him.
Yu Zuojin genuinely liked him.
Outside the window, large goose feathers of snow were falling, swirling and floating, accompanied by strong gusts of wind. The snowflakes were big, fluffy, and soft as cotton.
“It’s snowing!”
Someone shouted in the classroom.
The students turned their heads to look out the window.
“It’s true.”
“I just looked, and it wasn’t snowing.”
“It must be the first snow. We haven’t had snow before.”
Sheng Yuan also glanced sideways, making a decision in his heart.
[System: What do you plan to do?]
“If it has come, then embrace it.”
[System: Oh, so you plan to offer up your buttocks.]
Sheng Yuan: “…”
[System: Am I wrong?]
Sheng Yuan clasped his hands behind his head. “Not exactly. I’ll agree for now and find an opportunity to break up later.”
Truly Ambitious:!
[System: You’re actually toying with someone’s emotions.]
Sheng Yuan returned to his scoundrel self. “So what?”
Truly Ambitious squirmed shyly.
[System: How exciting~]
After successfully unbinding, the other party must have pressed some terrible switch and set themselves free.
It was really amazing.
And now he was in an even more amazing situation.
He was going to be in a same-sex relationship.
To be honest, in all his years, Sheng Yuan had never considered this aspect.
There didn’t seem to be any resistance in his mind either.
Perhaps it was due to his strong inner acceptance and good ability to adapt; being kissed by someone of the same sex didn’t make him feel disgusted.
“Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, I don’t understand this problem.”
Jin Anzhu turned around and placed his math exercise book on Sheng Yuan’s desk.
His train of thought was interrupted, and Sheng Yuan snapped out of it. “What’s wrong?”
Jin Anzhu pointed with his finger, “This one.”
Cun Tou came over to join in the fun while eating his bread. “Just this one, you’ve made progress.”
Jin Anzhu shyly glanced at the two of them, his fingertips wandering over the exercise book.
“And this one, this one, and this one.”
Sheng Yuan: “…”
Cun Tou: “…”
Sheng Yuan bowed his head and wrote down the solution for Jin Anzhu.
“Brother Sheng, someone is looking for you.”
The voice was trembling, filled with fear.
What could be the matter, bothering his big brother? Cun Tou said, “Brother Sheng, I’ll go check it out for you.”
Jin Anzhu stood up first, “No need, I’ll go.”
Skipping merrily to the door, he opened it and came face-to-face with Yu Zuojin’s cold face.
On seeing this love rival, Yu Zoujin should have felt jealous.
But at this moment, he no longer regarded him with any importance, a small O was nothing significant.
Jin Anzhu almost instantly wore a defeated expression when he saw him.
How dare he appear in front of him like this?
Back at the police station, when he stole Brother Sheng’s kiss, Jin Anzhu swore to hate him for a lifetime.
Yu Zuojin, can you afford to repay what you owe me?!
Sheng Yuan was not around, and the two of them couldn’t stand exchanging even a single word.
But Yu Zuojin was in a good mood today.
“Where is Sheng Yuan?”
Jin Anzhu puffed up his chest like a fighting cock, “Brother Sheng is inside helping me with some questions.”
The small O schemed cautiously, showing off their intimacy in front of his love rival.
“Is that so?”
Jin Anzhu looked smug, “Of course.”
In the next moment, Yu Zuojin handed the red scarf he held to Jin Anzhu’s face. “Sheng Yuan left the scarf on my bed, could you help me take it inside?”
First Blood!
Jin Anzhu: “…”
He stiffly raised his head to look at Yu Zuojin, but those pitch-black eyes lacked the usual menacing aura. He even saw a hint of… mockery in his eyes.
Jin Anzhu’s small face displayed an indescribable expression, jealousy distorting his features.
Ah ah ah ah! How dare he!
Jin Anzhu snatched it away angrily and muttered, “It’s just a scarf, don’t think that just because you have a good relationship with Brother Sheng…”
Yu Zuojin’s expression remained unchanged.
His health bar didn’t drop at all.
Comrade Jin Anzhu had no idea that just half an hour ago, his Brother Sheng was kissing the person standing in front of him on the bed.
When Yu Zuojin came out of the bathroom, Sheng Yuan had already left, leaving only a red scarf on the bed.
Yu Zuojin didn’t even consider the possibility of Sheng Yuan running away, and assumed he had gone to class.
Yu Zuojin spoke softly, “I have something to do this afternoon.”
With heavy snowfall and the arrival of new supplies at the barbecue restaurant, it probably wouldn’t open in the evening. The old man had just called to inform him that he didn’t need to come today, but there were still many things on the truck.
He didn’t answer and hung up the phone directly.
Jin Anzhu was stunned after hearing this. Was he supposed to deliver a message for him?
Jin Anzhu felt a sourness in his heart. “Let me tell you, Brother Sheng is everyone’s husband in our group, and if he belongs to everyone, then he also belongs to me. If you have any ill intentions towards my husband, I’ll…”
Yu Zuojin gave him a cold glance.
Jin Anzhu trembled, “I’ll report you to the police.”
Unexpectedly, he only got a sneer from the other party.
“Heh.”
Jin Anzhu felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “What are you laughing at?”
Yu Zuojin leaned down and said to him, “Report me. I like the prison theme.”
Jin Anzhu: “…”
Ahhh!
Mom! There’s a pervert here.
Yu Zuojin left triumphantly. His current mood couldn’t be influenced by a few words from others. After all, not everyone could wake up to a confession from the person they liked.
Jin Anzhu returned to Class Six with a drooping head and handed the scarf to Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan saw the scarf but didn’t ask who brought it, and simply said, “Did Yu Zuojin come?”
Jin Anzhu was on the verge of tears.
Damn that goblin, Yu Zuojin.
“Yeah, he just said he had something to do this afternoon.”
Sheng Yuan frowned, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and left Class Six. He walked quickly to the lobby on the first floor. It was almost time for class, and the crowd was heading upstairs, leaving only a few people on the first floor.
“Yu Zuojin.”
Sheng Yuan held the bright red scarf and looked at the tall figure walking out of the teaching building.
When Yu Zuojin turned around, he saw Sheng Yuan hastily catching up.
Sheng Yuan caught his breath and approached him, stuffing the red scarf into his hands.
“Take this with you.”
“It’s cold outside.”
Yu Zuojin looked at Sheng Yuan’s anxious face and reached out to pull him closer.
Sheng Yuan instinctively wanted to dodge, but he couldn’t escape and was pulled into a corner without surveillance.
Before he could even react, he felt a warm sensation on his cheek.
Yu Zuojin kissed him forcefully, like a woodpecker pecking a tree. Sheng Yuan was kissed with such strength that his head was tilted back, and his cheek was smooshed to one side of his face.
Sheng Yuan’s face was hot. “Okay…okay… that’s enough.”
‘You said that was enough of the kissing but you have kissed three times in one morning.’
Yu Zuojin, the evildoer, stared at him with his dark eyes, and complained first, “You wanted a kiss, and I gave it to you.”
Sheng Yuan raised his head. “Yu Zuojin.”
Yu Zuojin responded softly, “Hmm?”
“Aren’t you feeling guilty?”
“…”
You are cleared taking advantage of me!
[System: Host, this heavy snowfall is heaven’s gift to you.]
Yu Zuojin’s innocent persona stood strong.
On his handsome and aloof face, there was not a hint of guilt.
Sheng Yuan chuckled, “When did I want you to kiss me?”
Yu Zuojin put on a serious face and spoke clearly, “Just now.”
Sheng Yuan defended himself, “I didn’t.”
Yu Zuojin felt a little unhappy after hearing that, and his expression darkened.
“Then pay me back.”
As he said that, he leaned forward.
Sheng Yuan dodged with a flash, playing the rogue, “If it lands on my face, it’s mine. There’s no such thing as paying it back.”
He escaped the dangerous situation and made a swift getaway.
Sheng Yuan ran back to the classroom and realized that being in a relationship with Yu Zuojin was not easy.
He needed to find an opportunity to break up as soon as possible.
During lunchtime, instead of going back to Room 408, Sheng Yuan was called to the office by the headmaster.
Upon entering the office, he noticed another student standing inside.
Sheng Yuan recognized him. He was Guo Gang, Zheng Zilu’s companion.
The headmaster said, “Good, everyone is here. It’s not easy to gather together.”
“…”
Including Sheng Yuan, there were only three people.
Indeed, it wasn’t easy.
The headmaster took out the brochure for the winter camp.
“I called you two here to talk about the physics competition during the winter camp.”
“It’s a national knowledge competition, and it carries a lot of weight.” The headmaster didn’t say much, and just gave a thumbs up.
“If you can stand out and achieve good results, Beiqing University will provide guaranteed admission spots. The school recommends the two of you to participate, and the event will take place in early January.”
The chance to secure admission to the top university in the country was definitely worth a try.
“The winter camp is a closed and managed program. I will accompany you two there. Now, the teachers would like to hear your opinions. Does anyone not want to participate?”
Obviously, no one refused.
After finalizing the winter camp arrangements, the headmaster didn’t keep them for long and told them to take a nap. He had a lot of work to handle during this period and was busy.
Sheng Yuan went straight back to A building of the dormitory. The heavy snow outside had stopped. With each step, his shoes made a crunchy sound on the snowy ground, and the sunlight reflected off the snow, dazzling his eyes.
Today’s weather was almost as turbulent as Sheng Yuan’s mood. It was sunny in the morning, but then heavy snowfall started in the morning.
Exhausted, Sheng Yuan reached the door of Room 408 and opened it.
Bang…
Truly Ambitious: ???
[System: Why did you close the door?]
“I went to the wrong room.”
[System: No, it says 408 on the door.]
Then he must have opened it incorrectly.
Sheng Yuan took a deep breath and opened the door again. Inside Room 408, he still saw the two single beds pushed together into a double bed.
Truly Ambitious fell silent as well.
[System: What is this?]
Sheng Yuan said resignedly, “408 Theme Hotel.”
