Chapter 47: Again, Sleeping Together
In the evening, because they couldn’t be too far away from each other, Qin Xu requested in advance to sleep with Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang was a little embarrassed as he thought back to the first time he shared a bed with the spoiled Qin Xu. He hesitated for a moment and said: “It’s just for the night. Can’t you just exchange beds with Xiao Yuxin?”
Qin Xu naturally had an excuse prepared. He explained eloquently, “Of course I can’t do that. There is still a lot of distance between the top and bottom bunk so there will still be some tension force. Like this, it is almost certain that I won’t be able to sleep well. Also, the quality of the beds at school isn’t good. If it collapses, then wouldn’t we be a goner? I’m also pretty selective with where I sleep.”
Jiang Yang frowned while still in thought. Qin Xu also added to further affirm his position: “I am very particular with cleanliness, so I definitely won’t switch beds with anyone. Don’t even think about it.”
Jiang Yang rolled his eyes: “And you can sleep in my bed? You must be very particular with cleanliness.”
Qin Xu responded seriously: “I’ve already slept there before so I’m grown used to it now.”
Jiang Yang: “……Hehe.” You may be willing to sleep on my bed but it’s still a question whether or not I’ll let you.
He thought this internally, but he could only accept Qin Xu’s proposal. It was terrible just thinking that he would not be able to have a good night sleep. He ensured that he warned Qin Xu in advance to sleep without moving around, to not take his blanket and to avoid touching him.
Hearing those three consecutive restrictions, Qin Xu wasn’t irked. He instead smiled and said: “Don’t you think we’re like those elementary students drawing a separating line on the desks?”
Jiang Yang: “……..???”
Isn’t that something that’s usually done between male and female students? And who would go and draw a line on the bed?!
In any case, Jiang Yang once again emphasised his words: “Remember what I said.”
Qin Xu just smiled and nodded.
After brushing his teeth, Qin Xu followed after Jiang Yang and very naturally climbed into Jiang Yang’s bed.
Huang Shao was very shocked: “You’re sleeping together again?”
Xiao Yuxin could only facepalm. Did you guys give up hiding it after being exposed the first time?
Jiang Yang who was already sitting in his bed groaned a little inside. He wondered if it was better if he waited until everyone else was deep in sleep before going up to bed……….No, there’s nothing between them that couldn’t be seen by others so why should he hide it. Also, with that distance limitation, it’s almost certain that one of them would be pulled over so this is something that couldn’t be helped okay?
And so, Jiang Yang felt that there was no need to try to hide it and said to Huang Shao from above: “That’s right, do you have a problem with it?”
Huang Shao was dumbfounded. With him being stared at, he immediately shook his head. If master has said so then he naturally has no problems with it!
Qin Xu looked at Jiang Yang’s profile and was in a good mood. Despite usually playing his phone until late into the night, today he was particularly keen to go to sleep. He patted Jiang Yang’s shoulder and urged: “Turn of the lights, it’s time to sleep.”
Jiang Yang glanced at him and reluctantly laid down. Although he had agreed to it, when it finally was the time for it, he couldn’t help but feel awkward. He laid down on the bed and his entire body stiffened up unnaturally.
Qin Xu felt this and glanced over at his handsome profile through the corner of his eyes. He smiled a little and mischievously turned over to face Jiang Yang. Because the single bed is quite narrow, Jiang Yang could easily feel his breath on his neck.
“Sleep on your back.” Jiang Yang requested stiffly.
“Why?” Qin Xu deliberately blinked innocently a few times, “I’m used to sleeping on my side and it saves space like this.”
Jiang Yang’s first reaction was to snort coldly. What a liar! If you like to sleep on your side, then who was that person who liked to sleep all spread out on his back?! You think I’m blind?!
However, even if he knew that Qin Xu is speaking nonsense, he wouldn’t go out of his way to reveal it. He no longer wanted to bring up his dark history of helping cover him with his blanket.
Jiang Yang directly ignored his words. Feeling uncomfortable, he turned over and faced his back to Qin Xu. The only problem was that, with this, his butt would inevitably come into contact with Qin Xu’s thigh and that unspeakable part…..
Jiang Yang: “…….” You mum, this is even more frustrating! Can’t sleep!
On one side was like fire, the other side was like the calm sea with an occasional wave rippling through. Qin Xu hooked up his lips and was in a good mood. It could be said that he wanted Jiang Yang to feel uncomfortable. If he could completely ignore him and sleep well, Qin Xu would feel unhappy instead.
Jiang Yang was annoyed to the point that he couldn’t sleep. He did his best to stick close to the wall but the person behind him made things worse by continuing to stick to him.
From outside, a ghostly wail travelled into the room. Its’ cry sounded extremely sorrowful, to the point that even those listening would weep along…..To put it simply, it is the pain one goes through when a man and a women breaks up. It just happened that his room was close and things that shouldn’t be heard were all heard clearly.
Just as they thought the boy would calm down and quieten down now that the lights are off, he seemingly recalled something and once again started wailing. What made Jiang Yang explode was that he even started singing sorrowfully! Even with high notes?!
Finally, Jiang Yang could no longer hold himself back. He suddenly sat up and yelled back: “Isn’t it just breaking up? Why don’t you just get back together with her tomorrow?! What’s the point of crying and keeping everyone else up?!”
Perhaps it was because of Jiang Yang’s aggressiveness, the other party suddenly stopped crying.
Jiang Yang had suddenly sat up and Qin Xu was also awakened by this. He let out a yawn and, half slouching on him, he gently patted his back to appease him, “Calm down, calm down. He should be quiet now. Go sleep.”
After listening for a while and hearing that there were no longer any sounds, Jiang Yang calmed back down. He reluctantly laid back down and finally managed to fall asleep.
On the other hand, the poor heartbroken boy was so scared that his soul had escaped out of him.
He was originally scared from Jiang Yang’s scolding, but his roommates felt the need to add ——- “That voice sounds like Yang brother. He’s one of the school tyrants and I heard that the moment he explodes, no one can stop him. He would pretty much fight anyone he meets. I heard he sent someone to the hospital and all the gangsters avoid him when they see him.”
“It’s not just that. I also heard that when he went to the bank, he encountered a burglar. In front of a real gun, his expression didn’t change at all and he even dared to confront that person and flip him over his shoulder………”
The person next to him nudged him and whispered: “Hey, don’t you think that sounds too fake?”
The roommate replied: “Don’t worry. He’s not paying attention anyway. Isn’t it better to make it sound as scary as you can? Don’t you want to sleep?”
And so, through the joint efforts of several roommates, they managed to make Jiang Yang out to be a cold and cruel demon king who wouldn’t hesitate to let blood spill. This scared the heartbroken boy so much that he huddled inside him blankets and trembled in fear.
The roommates looked at each other. Seems like….they went too far?
To try and salvage the situation, they patted the cocoon he had made to comfort him: “It’s actually not that scary. Go sleep. It’ll all be okay when you wake up.”
This was heard by the heartbroken boy but there was no persuasiveness in their words. It was as if they were saying ——– What a pity. Now that you have angered him, you’re soon going to die. You should enjoy your last sleep and prepare to die tomorrow.
The next day, what was to come still came. Jiang Yang in particular did not sleep well and was in a very bad mood. He asked Huang Shao to inquire around about which unfortunate bastard had just broken up and wanted to find him and talk to him about life.
Qin Xu laughed: “Don’t tell me you’re going there to beat him up?”
Jiang Yang’s expression wasn’t good. He raised his eyebrow and looked at him strangely: “Why am I going there to beat him up?”
“The atmosphere around you just seems to be saying that. And with your temper, it’s not surprising?”
Jiang Yang didn’t hesitate to deny it: “I don’t even know him so why am I beating him up? Because I have nothing else to do?”
Qin Xu raised his eyebrows. Based on what he said, does he mean that he would only beat up people he is close to and care more about? Since he beats me up the most, does that mean that he cares about me?
If the others heard Qin Xu’s thoughts, they would definitely grab onto his shoulders and shake him aggressively —– Wake up! You’re becoming more and more M! The moment you fall into that pit, you can no longer be saved!
Qin Xu didn’t know this……and just felt very pleased inside.
Huang Shao’s investigative skills were very thorough and soon he managed to figure out who the heartbroken boy was. He even managed to find out the reason for his break up; it is said that his girlfriend was not happy seeing him and another girl get too close. Huang Shao said emotionally: “To think he was cheating. He had a girlfriend and didn’t cherish her and now he’s crying about it after everything that he did? That’s too much.”
But, after all, it was just a rumour. Things like rumours is often not very credible with people attempting to embellish it to make it sound more interesting. Taking advantage of the time between classes, Jiang Yang went to find the boy to try and sort out the problem. At the very least, he wanted to make him promise not to be so loud at night to allow him to sleep in peace.
Qin Xu naturally followed him.
From outside the door to the class nine classroom, Jiang Yang stopped a male student who was walking out and said: “Help me get Chen Ming Jie.”
Unexpectedly, the boy whose shoulder he had patted trembled and stuttered out: “You- You’re Yang brother?”
Jiang Yang frowned, “You are Chen Ming Jie?”
Chen Ming Jie nodded his head and looked like he was about to cry. He mumbled sorrowfully: “Are you here to take my life?”
Jiang Yang: “…….???” This person is just heartbroken right? He’s not hurt in his head?
Qin Xu stood to the side and secretly snickered.
Jiang Yang coughed, “I just came over to ask if you need any help. I hope that you can stop being so noisy at night so that I can sleep.”
Chen Ming Jie squinted his eyes and was a little doubtful. Then he recalled something, and his eyes quickly reddened. Sniffling, he very soon became teary eyed and very upset…….The shocked Jiang Yang retreated a few steps back and didn’t know what to do. As a man, why are you crying so easily?! Those who don’t know what’s happening will think I’m bullying you!
Jiang Yang felt a headache coming and is beginning to regret his decision to try help him patch things up. He subconsciously turned to Qin Xu and nudged his arm while saying: “You deal with this. You have experience.”
Qin Xu who was concentrating on just watching the show from the side: “………???” Experience? What experience?
The meaning in Jiang Yang’s eyes was obvious.
You. Crying. Experience.
Qin Xu: “….!!!”
The author has something to say:
Qin Xu: Even If I like you, how can you sabotage my reputation like that?! Unacceptable!
Jiang Yang silently takes out his phone and shows him the photo.
Qin Xu: …….I don’t believe it! It’s photoshopped!!
