87. Do I look like the kind of person who loves to beat people up?

Recap

Yu Sheng chewed and swallowed the thick sugar-coated grape, closed his eyes, and was pulled into an embrace by Jin Linkun.

The boy who was holding on to the railing was forcibly carried back to the room by the nanny, curled up on the bed alone, and while the nanny was fast asleep, he sneaked back to the balcony, curled up in the cold moonlight, and gently patted his own head.

Someone will come, someone will definitely come.

He held back his tears, and when that someone finally came, he must have a good cry.

Then never cry again.

___

Jin Linkun said the rice was ready and he actually did cook up a table full of dishes.

Yu Sheng took off his raincoat and passed by the dining table. He couldn’t help but go around and take a look.

After Jin Linkun discovered that he really had no talent for cooking, he stopped struggling with the stove and worked on things he knew he could do.

Yu Sheng stood in shock for a while facing a table of carefully arranged cold tomatoes, salted garlic sprouts, sweet and sour cucumbers and hand-shredded lettuce.

“I tried to cook it using fire…but it wasn’t very successful…”

Jin Linkun coughed lightly, covered his eyes with one hand, and ushered him into the bathroom: “Even the food is not scared of being cold, you don’t need to be in a hurry. Take a hot shower first.”

These dishes really are not afraid of being cold at all.

It hasn’t even been hot before.

Yu Sheng turned to him and wanted to speak, but found that his voice was still hoarse, so he could only regretfully swallow the content of the complaint and make his request as brief as possible: “I want to eat tomatoes.”

Jin Linkun stopped.

Still covering Yu Sheng’s eyes, he bent down and picked up a pair of chopsticks, choosing a piece covered with sugar for him: “Here, open your mouth.”

Seeing that this man’s kindness was beginning to skyrocket, Yu Sheng wanted to remind him, but when the chopsticks reached his mouth, he couldn’t help but open his mouth in cooperation.

The sweet and sour juice flows down his throat.

Yu Sheng stood at the table and calmly ate the piece of tomatoes that was fed.

At the end of the meal, there came a slightly cool soft touch again, falling on the corner of his lips, caressing gently for a while.

They had just been out in the rain for a long time, and Yu Sheng was still holding a hot water bottle in his arms. Jin Linkun only had on a raincoat, he must be even colder than him.

The two of them briefly fought for a few rounds at the bathroom door over who should wash first. Jin Linkun had quick eyes and quick hands. Taking advantage of the moment his boyfriend’s alertness slipped, he stretched out his arms to hug him: “Let’s shower together?”

Yu Sheng was just worried that he would catch a cold, so he had no problem with this and nodded.

Jin Linkun plugged in the water heater before going out, and the temperature was just right. The hot water poured down from the shower, quickly dissipating the chill from the freezing rain outside.

The air began to heat up, and Yu Sheng leaned against the bathroom door and walked around briefly for a while.

His skin colour is pale, and the red string around his neck was a little wet from the water, making it particularly conspicuous.

The key was close to his chest, probably because the clothes he wore had the key pressed up against his chest, leaving a small reddish mark.

Jin Linkun pulled the man under the shower head together and gently rustled his hair in the hot water, lowered his head and kissed him gently.

Just as he was looking for bath supplies, Yu Sheng had already taken his hand, raised his head and kissed him.

His little friend’s tiger teeth are a bit sharp, and it hurts slightly when he bites the corners of his lips. Yu Sheng’s lips are warm and soft due to the hot water, but he applied a gentle pressure while clenching Jin Linkun’s wrist tightly.

___

Jin Linkun came out of the bathroom wearing a towel, fumbled around for his phone, and wrote “The kid can’t breathe again” on the notebook where he records the reasons why he gets beaten.

He originally planned to take a shower and eat before going to bed, but Yu Sheng was too sleepy. Jin Linkun came back after heating up two bowls of food. The man who was leaning on the bedside reading a book could no longer hold on and had already fallen asleep.

The boy had just taken a hot shower. His hair was still wet with a little bit of moisture still clinging to his forehead.

The book was not even closed, and his fingers were still caught between 2 pages.

Afraid that he would wake up hungry at night, Jin Linkun put the bowl of rice on the bedside table, took out the book and closed it with a bookmark, and lay down carefully while holding him in his arms.

Yu Sheng was not sleeping deeply, he rolled over under the quilt and saw a familiar dark figure squatting beside the bed, doing something using a flashlight.

There was a lot of noise, Yu Sheng glanced at the empty box on the pillow, which was a birthday gift from Cen Rui.

It is said that the full name is called Dreamy Rainbow Romantic Projector. The two of them studied it twice, but failed to figure out the overly complicated operating principle, so they put it aside for the time being.

Smelling the fragrance of rice close to him, Yu Sheng felt a little hungry so he reached out his arms and tugged at Jin Linkun’s clothes. Before he could speak, the machine in Jin Linkun’s hand suddenly clicked and made a faint sound.

Flashing purple light illuminated half of the room in an instant, and the super cool colourful light spanned the ceiling.

Yu Sheng was lying on the bed, holding the back collar of Jin Linkun’s clothes with one hand, staring at the particularly dazzling rainbow for a moment.

Jin Linkun was also shocked by the colourful rainbow coloured dazzling lights. He squatted on the ground and raised his head to look at the roof: “…Ah.”

Originally he wanted to give his little friend a rainbow after the storm.

Yet the result is completely inconsistent with the theme that he wanted. This seems more like a nightclub preparing a disco for its partygoers.

Jin Linkun coughed a few times, tried in vain to salvage the situation, even trying to cover it with something for a long time. Finally, he even took off his glasses and put them in front of the small cover of the projector.

Yu Sheng was so dazzled by the display and Jin Linkun’s fluster that he was no longer sleepy. He lay on the edge of the bed and watched him struggle for a long time before finally burying his head in his arms.

“…Friend.” Jin Linkun completely gave up on salvaging the colourful rainbow maker and sat on the ground, “Our world needs a little sympathy, I think-“

Yu Sheng showed no sympathy at all, lying on his elbows laughing until his stomach ached.

Jin Linkun originally planned to be tense for a while, but in the end he couldn’t hold his laughter back as well and laughed with him until he couldn’t breathe: “That’s enough… don’t laugh. I originally wanted to have a romantic rainbow dinner.”

He didn’t expect that Cen Rui would harm others.

Preparing to have a good chat with the culprit who sent this gift tomorrow, Jin Linkun reached over with his arms, ready to turn off the colourful rainbow maker that was still trying its best to create a nightclub atmosphere, when his arm was suddenly held by another hand.

Yu Sheng also got out of bed with him and squatted beside the bed.

Jin Linkun pulled the quilt off the bed and wrapped it around him: “Is it cold? It’s almost time to turn on the air conditioner. After an autumn rain, it’s easy to get cold…”

“It’s not cold.” Yu Sheng held his hand and moved towards him, “Ge.”

Jin Linkun stopped nagging and turned his head to look at him.

The boy only wore a thin half-sleeved shirt, with the quilt around him obediently, his short hair sticking to his forehead obediently.

“Ge.” Yu Sheng called him again.

“The rainbow. I saw it.”

Jin Linkun hadn’t recovered from the shock yet. He pushed his glasses up and looked out: “Yes, I saw it too. In fact, I think the building opposite our house may have seen it too. After all, its brightness is hard to ignore… “

The rest of his words were blocked by the child who covered them both with the quilt and hugged him tightly.

The matter of Yu Sheng’s family did not cause any splash in No. 3 High School.

None of the teachers seemed any different from before because of this incident. The principal still went to fight next door every now and then. Lao He still attends class and leaves with a smile on his face. Occasionally, he would accidentally pull out the photo of the fake leave application form from previously and pester him to collect some Outstanding Student Award.

The director of the Education Department also caught Yu Sheng giving a KFC bucket to Duan Lei and others, he was so angry that he snatched three pieces of original chicken: “This is against the rules! Instant detention! Is this a picnic? Why didn’t you take ketchup?!”

The bucket only has five pieces in total. Duan Lei was so distressed that he paced around in circles: “Director, we are going to the Internet cafe to watch online classes taught by a foreign English teacher…”

The lights in the dormitory were turned off at midnight. Ever since Yu Sheng started tutoring the students, the students in Class 7 were frightened by Sheng-ge’s “Just tell me, which part do you not understand?” way of teaching. No one dared be wrong for the second time.

They can only go out in the middle of the night and continue to seize the time to make up for classes.

___

To be honest, Yu Sheng himself couldn’t quite figure out why these people’s attitudes towards him and Jin Linkun were so different despite his very kind attitude and detailed explanation.

Class 1’s teacher also didn’t understand: “Is there something wrong with this sentence? It’s quite normal.”

“Maybe it’s because our classmate Yu Sheng has a stronger aura.”

Lao He was working on a teaching plan at the time, and he arranged a task for Yu Sheng to collect homework. He picked up the teacup leisurely and said, “To describe it more carefully, he will sit on the table, tap the exercise book and say, ‘Tell me. Which part do you not understand? Come up one by one.”

“…”

The students in Class 7 had no choice.

Without pressure, there is no motivation. Under this seemingly life-threatening pressure, it greatly stimulates the students’ autonomy and enthusiasm for self-study and reflection.

“Is watching online lessons the reason why you stay up late at night and climb over the wall?”

The director was unmoved, putting on his slippers and staring: “Do you think it’s wrong to go to the Internet cafe? Or is it wrong to climb over the wall?”

Jin Linkun helped his family’s child buy a bucket for the whole class. Now he was also being scolded along with them. He lowered his voice and asked Yu Sheng, “Isn’t it?”

“…”

Yu Sheng was more familiar with their director’s style, so he raised his hand to cover his mouth and hushed him: “Shh.”

“…Of course it is!” The director pulled out a tissue, “But your most serious mistake is staying up late at night! Your senior year of high school is so stressful, yet you ran out without saying a word. Do you stop to think about how worried the school is? How worried the teachers are?”

In the middle of the night, the dormitory manager found that a row of dormitories were all empty. He was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He quickly called the form teacher and the teacher on duty.

The group of students listening to the online class were all wearing headphones and taking notes frantically. No one heard the phone call. Lao He and the others searched for half a night with flashlights. Finally, they had to look for Yu Sheng to deduce the possible location of these people.

It was a false alarm. None of the teachers who had been working hard all night could fall asleep. They were not in a hurry to go back to the teachers’ dormitory to sleep. They gathered together to educate these students to relieve their boredom.

As a result, halfway through their sincere and heartfelt education speech, a KFC bucket was thrown in from the window.

He even brought three bottles of Coke.

The directors divided the original chicken and spicy chicken wings, wiped their hands and left. Lao He was kind-hearted and only ate mashed potatoes and breadsticks: “Next time you stay up all night, give me the list of places in advance, and I’ll say it’s the second coming-of-age ceremony that I organised.”

The students knew they were in the wrong. They cried so sadly while holding the empty bucket and Coke bottles, it seems that they probably don’t need any more education.

Lao He took away the last cup of Coke, patted everyone on the head, and told the group of people to go back to the dormitory to sleep quickly then he also returned to the teachers’ dormitory.

Duan Lei cried until he hiccupped: “Sheng-ge, oh, oh, oh, the family bucket…”

“…” Yu Sheng pressed his forehead, took out his phone, and ordered another one for this group of people.

Put it in a small bamboo basket that he got from nowhere, and hang it down from the window.

With Class 7’s enthusiasm for learning in full swing, the midterm exam is approaching day by day.

The importance of the midterm exam is not at the same level as the monthly exam. In addition, the abnormal difficulty of the last monthly exam has sounded a wake-up call to all the ignorant high school students. A tense learning atmosphere has spread throughout the entire senior year without leaving any trace.

Duan Lei and the others brought vocabulary books to their physical education classes and did not play at all. They planned to squat by the flower bed after the activities were over and formed a circle, revising the sentence patterns and grammar in a low voice.

Yang Fan was treated much better than Yu Sheng. He pushed up his glasses and was surrounded by everyone. He lowered his head and spoke seriously about the topic. If they don’t understand something well, they can stay behind and ask Yu Sheng together.

Occasionally, someone from the next class who happened to be in the same physical education class would come over with a ball to tempt them, but before they could say anything, they were kicked away mercilessly by the sports committee: “What are you playing for? You look like a basketball! Let’s go, let’s go, we only have English in our hearts …”

The physical education teacher held his whistle in his mouth and looked at the students who seemed to be in some mysterious formation to summon knowledge. He felt extremely lonely: “Have times changed? Am I not the most beloved teacher among my students?”

“Don’t worry.” Bao Qin, as the English teacher of Class 7, has been treated like a VIP recently. He strolled down to inspect the country and patted him generously on the shoulder, “You can tell them that English and sports can reach the same goal by using different methods…”

A physical education class is comparable to self-study.

As the physical education teacher’s only remaining comfort, Yu Sheng played badminton with the physical education teacher for a while. He also felt a little bored and walked to the sidelines with his racket: “Who still doesn’t know how to do it? Come here.”

Class 7 students: “…”

Seeing this group of students suddenly start rock-paper-scissors under the pressure of Yu Sheng, the lonely physical education teacher got a little hopeful and came over: “What are you guys doing? Allocating roles? Do you guys want to play basketball? Or jump rope? There’s a lot of equipment here…”

“Shh.” Their sports committee pulled the physical education teacher and lowered his voice mysteriously, “We are choosing someone.”

Of course the physical education teacher knew that they were playing: “I know, but what’s next?”

The Sports Committee was very deep: “Then whoever loses will come out and ask Sheng-ge for questions that they don’t know.”

___

The English proficiency of the students in Class 7 has improved by leaps and bounds in just two months.

Bao Qin used homework and classroom quizzes to slowly increase the difficulty of the reviews from junior high to senior high standards without any protests. He was so happy with the completed homework that he was smiling from ear to ear. Especially when he sees the Class 1 head teacher, he will hold his hand with great enthusiasm and shake it for a long time.

The head teacher of Class 1 was so annoyed: “Why are you thanking me?! It’s not like I wanted Yin Mei to teach English in the first place! Go away!”

The roar came from the corridor and entered the class door. Their class’ lifestyle committee member put down his pen and thought for a while: “Who is Yin Mei?”

“Doesn’t matter who she is.” Duan Lei bit his pen and waved his hand casually, “Come here quickly. Should I use ‘to’ or ‘at’ in this question? I still can’t tell the difference…”

The Sports Committee still remembers this person, but the impression is not deep: “Come to think of it, why did we want to be good in English in the first place?”

Yao Qianggang looked up from the word root mnemonic and sighed in exhaustion: “Ah, isn’t it to survive?”

___

The school bully who unknowingly pushed the last place in the class to study hard was drinking milk.

The weather is getting colder, so the location for lunch has been changed from the pavilion to the activity room. Jin Linkun specifically asked the owner of the stall behind the back wall to help heat up the milk, so it was still hot every time he brought it over.

The midterm exam was coming soon. After lunch, the students hurried back to the classroom to study, leaving the two in the activity room alone.

“Isn’t it good for them to study hard?”

Jin Linkun hadn’t been to Class 7 recently and didn’t know much about the specific mental state of his classmates. He touched Yu Sheng’s hair and put a chicken wing in his bowl: “What’s the problem?”

Yu Sheng held the paper cup and took a sip of milk in deep thought.

In fact, it’s not a particularly big problem.

It’s just a little strange.

Probably because of his recent intake of nutritional supplements, Yu Sheng has grown a bit taller, so he doesn’t like to wear his own clothes so much. He just flips through Jin Linkun’s wardrobe and puts on a random coat everytime he goes out. There is still one size difference between the two of them. The shoulder width of Jin Linkun’s clothes is slightly wider by a few centimetres, and the sleeves still cover less than half of his palms.

Yu Sheng hasn’t had his hair cut recently, and it’s a little longer than before. When he gets up early to go to school, the hood of his hoodie weighs his hair down all the way, and every time he pulls the hood off, it reveals clean, smooth hair.

Together with the brown corduroy jacket, the whole person feels extremely good to hold.

Jin Linkun couldn’t help but knead his hair for a while, and was about to take his hand away. The leader of No. 3 High School had already finished the last bit of milk. He put down the paper cup and raised his head with a circle of milk foam around his mouth: “Do I look like someone who beats people up a lot?”
