After Valentine’s, summer vacation was almost half over. After Yu Hao handed in the first round of translations, the second round was sent to his mailbox immediately. It seemed that the organisation couldn’t find suitable outsourcing, so when they saw that Yu Hao submitted translations quickly, they immediately threw another pile at him. Yu Hao thought, is it that hard for you guys to find a few translators? But okay, okay……since I’m getting money I’ll just accept it ba.

Yu Hao looked through the translation forum for a long time and realised that his own work really was like moving bricks, low-paying but essential. Except for the first time he got paid when Chen Yekai served as an intermediary, the second time the organization bypassed Chen Yekai and directly contacted Yu Hao for a remuneration 20% lower than the market price. A lot of foreign language students would not accept such work.

However, Yu Hao was already extremely satisfied with this. At least it was better than actually moving bricks.

“How much was that bottle of wine?” Yu Hao asked Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng, “2,000. Added a bit more, so you don’t owe him anything.”

Yu Hao said, “How much was the meal?”

Zhou Sheng, “Laozi’s the Young Master of Yun Lai Chun, why would I need to pay for a meal in my own family’s shop?”

Yu Hao said, “We ate that meal!!”

Zhou Sheng, “I signed the bill, it was counted alongside our dinner. Yu Hao, could you stop being annoying?”

Yu Hao, “Okay then, I’ll transfer you the money for the wine……”

Zhou Sheng was baffled, “Isn’t my money always with you?”

Yu Hao thought that was true, so he could only add the red packets he received into Zhou Sheng’s living expenses. But he had only received 1,580 from the red packets. Yu Hao decided that he might as well go whole hog and scrolled through his WeChat to tap on the two red packets that Gothic Armour had sent him within the past 24 hours. Only then would he consider the whole situation more balanced.

Yu Hao, “I’ve been blacklisted……”

Zhou Sheng mocked, “He’s just scum; he’s been tricking you with the usual routine, and you didn’t even know.”

Yu Hao had no idea how to discern if someone was scum or not. He kept pestering Zhou Sheng on how he managed to tell, but Zhou Sheng ignored him and fell asleep.

No more blind dates……just let my life be like this ba.

Yu Hao gave up completely. His life recently was like a chaotic farce that had gone out of control. He didn’t want to drive around aimlessly while thinking about Zhou Sheng, thinking about transferring his feelings, thinking about General, thinking about love, and thinking about life anymore. He couldn’t understand anything and ended up tiring himself out too. Love was indeed like a lottery for him — not only was it impossible for him to win, but he also didn’t know where he had thrown his lottery ticket.

I’ll just continue crushing on him one-sidedly ba, Yu Hao thought. If worst comes to worst, he would just pay attention to the distance between them so that Zhou Sheng wouldn’t be called a homo. After he decided this, Yu Hao relaxed a little.

In midsummer, there were gradually fewer and fewer students at college, and even those students who didn’t go home and stayed in college had left. It was very quiet every night; it was so quiet that this place seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. The last window of the canteen closed as well, public buses stopped running, and even Chen Yekai went home. Every day, Zhou Sheng either cooked, or the two of them would walk about 2 kilometers to eat at the stir-fry shop at the foot of the mountain.

“What’s this?” One night, Yu Hao found out that Zhou Sheng had brought back several sets of clothing and hung them up in the wardrobe. They were all Chinese style T-shirts and hemp trousers.

“Boss gave them to me.” Zhou Sheng said indifferently, “Found a part-time job as an online model. Just ended today and got 4,000.”

“So you went out everyday to be a model?” Yu Hao said, “Why didn’t you say so?”

“No.” Zhou Sheng said expressionlessly, then turned over and lay down to sleep.

Yu Hao was full of doubts. He finished translating the manuscript for today and would be able to submit the second round before summer vacation ended. He would need to set aside some time to study when school reopened, but after nearly five months of translating part-time, his foreign language comprehension and Chinese writing level had improved by leaps and bounds. He would probably be able to pass the CET-4 in January next year with his eyes closed.

Find a job that you’re willing to devote your life to, be with a person whom you truly love…… every quiet night after Yu Hao finished his work, he couldn’t help but recall Chen Yekai’s words. Is translating work that I’m willing to devote my life to? Yu Hao doesn’t think so, but this part-time translation job had awakened a sense of responsibility in his heart.

“Zhou Sheng?” When Yu Hao was about to get off his bed and go wash up, he suddenly saw the Golden Crow Wheel’s light in the dormitory.

Zhou Sheng wore the Golden Crow Wheel to sleep!

Yu Hao suddenly felt nervous and shook Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng opened his eyes in a split second. Since he was woken up, he said angrily, “What are you doing?!”

Zhou Sheng sat up in annoyance. Yu Hao was very frightened and asked, “Whose dream did you enter?”

Zhou Sheng, “……”

Zhou Sheng looked up at Yu Hao, who looked just like a bullied child, and was frowning deeply. Yu Hao asked nervously, “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

Zhou Sheng took a deep breath and calmed down, “Didn’t I promise you that I wouldn’t enter other people’s dreams by myself again?”

Yu Hao said, “Yeah! Then why did you……”

“Of course it’s my own dream ah, could you relax?” Zhou Sheng said.

“Oh……” Yu Hao lost half his lifespan from the fright, “You were in your own dream, okay. It’s nothing, I was being overly nervous, go back to sleep ba.”

Yu Hao went to brush his teeth. Zhou Sheng plopped back down on his bed and slowly let out a breath.

When Yu Hao was washing up, he suddenly realised that he hadn’t been paying much attention recently. Zhou Sheng seemed to have been sleeping with his hands under his pillow. How long has he been using the Golden Crow Wheel for? But he never came to Yu Hao’s dream? What was Zhou Sheng doing in his dream?

Yu Hao went to bed and studied Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng had fallen asleep with a deep frown, one hand under his blanket and the other shifted a bit unconsciously. Yu Hao observed him for a moment, but laid down to sleep without asking any questions.

At this time, he got a notification on WeChat to remind him that a stranger had added him around 8pm.

Yu Hao took a look at it. He was added through a search, but his WeChat was his mobile number, so who was this person?

Yu Hao accepted the request and took another look at Zhou Sheng, who was fast asleep. He was just about to go to bed when his phone screen lit up.

Stranded:【Still awake this late?】

Yu Hao:【It’s summer vacation, who are you?】

Stranded sent an emoticon and said:【Going to sleep, my Mum might confiscate my phone. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, good night.】

Yu Hao was utterly baffled. From the tone of the messages, it seemed like someone he knew. He put down his phone and looked at Zhou Sheng again. Zhou Sheng hadn’t moved. He was unsettled as he fell asleep.

For the next few days, Zhou Sheng always went to sleep wearing the Golden Crow Wheel and got up everyday without saying a word. Yu Hao sensed that something was a little off.

One morning, Zhou Sheng was brushing his teeth wearily. Yu Hao didn’t dream at all during the night, which meant that Zhou Sheng didn’t go to find him. Yu Hao observed Zhou Sheng, “Were you okay last night?”

“Un.” Zhou Sheng said, “In a few days, wanna go to the amusement park? Summer vacation’s almost over.”

“Okay.” Yu Hao said, “What are you doing in your dream?”

Zhou Sheng didn’t answer. He looked at the phone in Yu Hao’s hand and asked, “Who are you talking to?”

“A kid.” Yu Hao said, “I don’t know how he added me.”

“A kid?” Zhou Sheng laughed, “How young?”

“Third year of senior high.” Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng didn’t know if he should cry or laugh, “How did you guys hook up?”

That guy named “Stranded” added Yu Hao and would talk to him every day. He was 19 years old, just finished his second year, and was now in his third year. He took a gap year before, so he was actually older than Yu Hao by a few months. Yu Hao had always thought it seemed strange and kept asking him how he managed to find his WeChat number. The other party just said that his friend was the one who introduced him.

Yu Hao suspected that this kid may have an older brother or sister in the same college, or they could even be in the same cohort as him. The senior high student named “Stranded” went to cram school during summer vacation. He asked Yu Hao if he could tutor him in English and offered to pay him. Yu Hao looked at the questions — they were indeed college entrance examination questions, so he would explain them to the other party on WeChat once in awhile. He thought that the kid shouldn’t be deceiving him ba? It didn’t seem like it. It would be too much effort to write entire English compositions just to fool Yu Hao.

“When are you gonna meet up for a date?” Zhou Sheng had a mocking smile on his face.

Yu Hao, “No dates, I’m not interested in high schoolers.”

Zhou Sheng, “How would you know if you haven’t seen him? Go ba.”

Yu Hao, “……”

“Zhou Sheng?” Yu Hao saw on Zhou Sheng’s locked phone screen that there was a WeChat message from “Jingya”.

“Un?” Zhou Sheng was waxing his hair in front of the mirror and asked Yu Hao, “Do you prefer my hair longer or shorter?”

But Yu Hao’s thoughts weren’t on Zhou Sheng’s hair at all, “You can call me anytime there’s a problem, okay? I feel like something’s been off about you these days.”

“Nothing’s off——” Zhou Sheng said, “I’m doing very well, so hey, which hairstyle looks good?”

Yu Hao said, “The hairstyle I first saw you in was nice, the colour looked good too.”

“I’ll dye it again for you then?”

“Don’t.” Yu Hao said, “I prefer black hair. Are you going out today? Zhou Sheng, I think we need to talk.”

“In a few days ba.” Zhou Sheng said, “I’m busy today, don’t wait for me to eat dinner. The jeans Kaikai bought for you looked pretty good, lend me that pair?”

“I bought it myself.” Yu Hao said, “The original price was 2,400.”

Yu Hao found the jeans and passed it to Zhou Sheng. It seemed more stylish on Zhou Sheng compared to Yu Hao, and gave him a street-like and trendy impression. “How is it?”

“You’re practically born to be a clothes hanger.” Yu Hao said helplessly, “The jeans are yours from now on, who are you meeting today?”

Zhou Sheng laughed, then took his jacket and went out. It was a rainy day today. Yu Hao stood on the balcony and looked at the road that was wet from the rain.

Zhou Sheng pulled up his hood and appeared lonely as he walked along the road outside the dormitory.

Yu Hao attached the last of his manuscripts to an email and sent it. He recalled the sea of clouds and dense fog in Zhou Sheng’s dream, then got up to open Zhou Sheng’s drawer —— Zhou Sheng had taken the Golden Crow Wheel with him.

What the hell is that guy doing? Yu Hao thought.

He had finished all his work before the end of summer vacation. Fu Liqun and Cen Shan uploaded a lot of pictures they took in Hokkaido to their group chat. Yu Hao’s train of thought was temporarily distracted as he scrolled through the photos in the group and was struck violently by their affectionate displays. He thought, it must be nice to be dating, I really wanna go to Hokkaido with Zhou Sheng too, and just do nothing all day but be lovey-dovey with each other.

Stranded:【Huu, I’m finally done with cram school, and my own school’s about to reopen. Are you free today? Do you want to eat together?】

Yu Hao:【It’s raining, I don’t want to go out.】

Stranded:【Come out and have a chat with me ba, I’m on the verge of committing suicide.】

Yu Hao:【Don’t joke about something like that.】

Stranded sent a few ‘hahaha’s:【I’ll go to your college to look for you?】

Yu Hao:【You don’t know where I am.】

Stranded:【Of course I do, I even know that you major in Psychology.】

Yu Hao, “……”

Yu Hao thought, how does this kid know so much? But after considering it, he understood how; Stranded deferred his studies for a year and was now in third year. This meant that his classmates in high school were now in their first year of college, so he might have some acquaintances in Yu Hao’s college.

Stranded:【Do you have an umbrella? I’ll pick you up ba, you’re in the same dormitory as Zhou Sheng right?】

Yu Hao:【You know him???!!!】

Stranded:【I don’t, I just know that name.】

Yu Hao:【Don’t come over, all the buses have stopped. Let’s meet at some cafe for coffee?】

Stranded replied frankly:【Ok.】Then he sent Yu Hao a location, which just so happened to be the flower cafe.

Yu Hao left the college and waited for a bus. The public buses didn’t stop running because of the storm, they just ran more infrequently. He went to the flower cafe in the afternoon. After entering the mall, he put away his umbrella and suddenly saw Zhou Sheng’s back.

Zhou Sheng was wearing Yu Hao’s jeans and a white T-shirt. He had just gotten a haircut, and was standing on the escalator with a girl who had long hair as they headed for the second floor. He was even holding the girl’s bag for her. Yu Hao had seen Cen Shan carry that bag before, so he thought it was Cen Shan at first. But the way that girl dressed was very different from Cen Shan's style.

The girl was wearing a white dress and sneakers and looked very young from the back with a clean atmosphere around her. They looked just like a young couple, and seemed to be a match made in heaven.

Yu Hao watched them for awhile, all the way until Zhou Sheng reached the second floor and took the elevator to the third floor. Only then did Yu Hao walk towards the other side to go to the flower cafe.

At a table by the window sat a boy in a blue-and-white school uniform with fair skin, big eyes, and thick eyebrows. Just as Yu Hao entered and wanted to observe for a moment, the boy looked up from his phone and whistled at Yu Hao.

Even if Yu Hao wanted to hide now, he couldn’t. He smiled helplessly and sat opposite the boy.

“I didn’t lie to you, see?” The boy showed Yu Hao the result sheet of the simulation exam he took in his cram school. He was ranked first in his cram school.

133 for Chinese! Full marks for mathematics! 141 for English! 129 for the Liberal Arts!

“My God!” Yu Hao wanted to flip the table, “With your results, you can probably get into Beijing or Tsinghua Universityba!”

He also noticed that the name on the boy’s paper was ‘Ou Qihang’, and his school was the top high school in Ying city. He really was a third year in high school, he didn’t lie.

“What do you want to drink? I’ll buy it.” Ou Qihang said, “To thank you for teaching me how to write my English compositions during this period.”

Yu Hao scrutinised him as he leaned on his chair and thought about it for a moment. “Sea salt coffee.”

Ou Qihang bought two cups of coffee and added five or six packets of sugar to his cup. Yu Hao thought that just like Zhou Sheng, this guy was another sugar monster. However, it was understandable. Those who use their brains a lot need to replenish their sugar levels, since sugar is consumed at an astonishingly fast rate when one uses their brain.

Ou Qihang was almost as tall as Zhou Sheng. He wore sportswear and a pair of basketball shoes — which also happened to be from Fu Liqun’s favourite series. Yu Hao thought, kids nowadays develop really well……wait, no. This guy was a third year senior and even seemed to be a few months older than himself.

“Isn’t it a little surprising?” Ou Qihang asked.

“What’s surprising?” Yu Hao really was a little surprised, but he didn’t intend to go along with the flow.

“Me ah.” Ou Qihang said.

“You’re so young.” Yu Hao said, “Really different from us who’re in college.”

“But aren’t we the same age?” Ou Qihang said, “Forget it, it’s probably better if I treat you as a Gege.”

Yu Hao laughed.

Ou Qihang said, “Yu Hao, which number are you?”

Yu Hao said, “As a third year in senior high, don’t you know a bit too much?! Focus on your studies, don’t worry about such unimportant things.”

From his interactions with Ou Qihang on WeChat during this period, Yu Hao could sense that this guy had obviously come prepared. He especially came out today to refuse him and decided that he wouldn’t add any more strangers on WeChat in the future.

“Do you want to watch a movie?” Ou Qihang asked.

“Nope.” Yu Hao said.

Ou Qihang, “What about an art exhibition then? I have tickets.”

The art gallery was nearby. Ou Qihang pulled out two tickets for the Dunhuang Special Exhibition — today was the final day for the exhibition. Yu Hao really couldn’t resist the temptation, and Ou Qihang said, “Let’s go! Don’t be so boring.”

“It’s not about being boring……ok then.” Yu Hao really wasn’t in a good mood today. For the past week, Zhou Sheng had hardly paid any attention to him and it seemed obvious that he was preoccupied with something that he was hiding from Yu Hao. However, they didn’t argue, so it was like a cold war, but also not a cold war. It was hiding under the surface, so there was no chance of a quick resolution. In addition to that, It had also been raining for three days in a row, which made Yu Hao feel extremely depressed.

“Let’s go.” Yu Hao said, “For a change of mood.”

“Are you in a bad mood?” Ou Qihang slung his bag over one shoulder and was a little taller than Yu Hao. He held his coffee in one hand and opened up a black umbrella, then tilted it slightly towards Yu Hao’s side. They crossed the road together and headed for the art gallery to see the special exhibition. The power of art could make people forget their worries for a while, especially when they stood in front of all the exceptionally beautiful paintings. Yu Hao felt like his dream could be decorated with all the beautiful flying Apsara and Buddha statues he was viewing.

“Just like a dream.” Ou Qihang asked Yu Hao, “Have you ever been to Dunhuang?”

“No.” Yu Hao said, “I’ve always wanted to go, but I don’t have the money.”

Yu Hao realised that for some reason, he always acted a bit more reserved in front of Ou Qihang, as if he was subconsciously imitating Chen Yekai. Perhaps in his mind, he had taken on the role of a ‘teacher’, and the best interpretation for acting out the role of a ‘teacher’ would be Chen Yekai’s demeanour ba.

“This line is too beautiful.” Yu Hao lightly traced the murals in the special exhibition with his fingers.

Ou Qihang said, “Yes. The power of Buddha can make people forget their sorrows.”

Yu Hao laughed, “Why would you have so many sorrows?”

Ou Qihang sighed and smiled at Yu Hao. Yu hao thought, this kid should be the male god in his high school right? Excellent results, tall, handsome, and his living standards seem to be pretty high too.

After they finished viewing the exhibition, Yu Hao and Ou Qihang ate some oden and boxed meals in a convenience store. Yu Hao began taking a liking to this kid. It didn't appear that he had rushed over for a hook-up or a date. He was extremely pure and clean, and might really just be here to chat with Yu Hao and make friends with him.

“Work hard for your third year.” Yu Hao said, “You won’t regret it.”

“Un……” Ou Qihang said, “I just think it’s a pity that the time spent is so short.”

Yu Hao said, “It’s been a whole year! And you still think it’s too short?”

Ou Qihang, “I meant that there wasn’t enough time now for us to develop our feelings, hahahaha——”

Ou Qihang burst out laughing, and Yu Hao immediately felt embarrassed, “Knock it off!”

“Then……I’ll be going home.” Ou Qihang said, “I’ll need to live at school and when school reopens my mobile will be handed over to my Mum, so I won’t be able to keep in contact.”

“I’ll send you back?” Ou Qihang asked.

Yu Hao quickly refused, why does everyone want to send me back? Am I that shou?

“I should be the one sending you back, let’s go?” Yu Hao finally turned a little more gong.

Before the end of summer vacation, many students gradually began to return to school. The subway line was full of high school and vocational high school students who were dragging their suitcases to and fro.

“Yu Hao.” Ou Qihang leaned back against the handrail of the mostly empty carriage, and asked Yu Hao, “What are you exactly?”

Yu Hao saw his monkey-like look and thought his temperament seemed to slightly resemble Fu Liqun’s, “I’m human!”

Ou Qihang unconsciously licked his lower lip and said, “Are you a 1 or a 0? Tell this Didi in secret bei……”

Yu Hao was about to tease him when he suddenly took his phone out and turned on the video recording function before turning it towards one end of the carriage. It wasn’t the peak period right now, but there was an old man sticking onto a girl in shorts from behind. Yu Hao said, “Hold the phone.” And as he spoke, he walked over and forcibly pulled the old man away.

Ou Qihang also noticed it and immediately stood upright as he shouted angrily, “Hey!”

Ou Qihang moved even faster. He stuffed the phone into Yu Hao’s hands, walked over in big strides, and stood right in front of Yu Hao. He lifted the back of the old man’s collar with one hand and forcibly dragged him away. He roared angrily, “What are you doing?! Do you have a fucking death wish?!” Then he slapped him, and the entire subway station erupted in an uproar. The girl quickly hid to one side.

Yu Hao didn’t expect Ou Qihang to be so aggressive. After the old man was slapped by Ou Qihang, he immediately withered. There were still some people on the subway who didn’t know what was going on, so they berated Ou Qihang, “What are you doing?”

Ou Qihang, “What are you doing?”

“What are you doing! Hitting an old man?”

Fights in Ying city always begin with “what are you doing” spoken in the local dialect and end with “you’re courting your own death”. Every time a cycle of “what are you doing” starts, Yu Hao knew that this matter wouldn’t be resolved quickly. Indeed, everyone began reciting it over and over again as they replayed the words “what are you doing” on a loop. No one dared to pick a fight with Ou Qihang for now, and the old man realised that the situation was in his favour so he started wailing and laid on the floor to extort medical expenses from him.

Yu Hao said to the girl, “Hurry and leave, it’s okay now, take the chance now to go.”

In any case, he had already recorded the incident, so even if this was reported to the police, they had nothing to fear. When the subway arrived at its stop, the girl whispered, “Thank you.” She then passed two pieces of chocolate to Yu Hao, wiped her face, and took off.

Yu Hao was really afraid that Ou Qihang’s slap had turned the old man deaf, but looking at him throwing a tantrum on the ground so energetically now, nothing should’ve happened to him.

“I have a black belt in Taekwondo.” Ou Qihang said to Yu Hao, “Don’t need to be afraid of them.”

Yu Hao, “……”

Everyone in the carriage keenly caught the key words and began to shut up one after the other. Only the old man’s wails remained as he begged everyone to call the police for him. He was sitting on the ground and was about to crawl over when Ou Qihang assumed a domineering attitude and kicked him again, “Get lost!”

That old man was frightened and didn’t say anything for a moment. When the subway arrived at a station, the two of them alighted to transfer to another line as if nothing had happened.

Yu Hao, “They actually let us off without any trouble or extortion, I even thought that we would have to make a trip to the police station.”

Ou Qihang, “What’s there to be afraid of? My Dad said that you just have to beat the crap out of people like that, and you have to be even more overbearing than them.”

Yu Hao, “Yes. In the past I could never bring myself to do it, but I’ve been slowly learning how to.”

After following Zhou Sheng for such a long time, Yu Hao only felt like he now had learned to be fearless. I have no money anyway, what can you even do to me?

“Then……” Ou Qihang stuffed both his hands into his pockets and gazed at Yu Hao earnestly.

“You’re going?” Yu Hao smiled, “Study hard, I’ll give this to you.” As he spoke, he handed the two pieces of chocolates that the girl gave him to Ou Qihang. Ou Qihang took one piece, leaving the other for Yu Hao. He retrieved something from his pocket and said, “This is for you.”

It was a small box. Ou Qihang said, “It’s a Rubik’s cube, not expensive, I made it myself. Accept it ba.”

Yu Hao saw that it wasn’t expensive, so he accepted it. Ou Qihang said, “Yu Hao, see you next year.”

Yu Hao smiled, “See you next year!”

Yu Hao parted from Ou Qihang. He put on his earphones to listen to music as he switched to another line and looked down at the small Rubik’s cube Ou Qihang gave him on the subway. He turned it over a few times; this high schooler was quite skilful with his hands.

The Colosseum of Ancient Rome.

Medusa quickly vanished as she transformed into a black vapour. The fire spewed out by the black dragon only hit empty space where she had been just moments earlier. Zhou Sheng held up his shield and looked upwards. Medusa brandished her sharp claws and rushed down towards them from the air above!

Medusa’s snake tail coiled around Zhou Sheng, and brutally flung his badly battered body to the edge of the arena. In the next moment, when the black dragon turned, Medusa's eyes flashed with a blinding light!

The entire arena was swathed in this light, accompanied by the black dragon’s mad roar. It whirled around in the air; its wings on one side cracking and disintegrating into rubble and smoke. Medusa then pressed down on the black dragon’s head and cleanly slit its throat.

Blood gushed from the black dragon and it fell down, colliding brutally with the ground.

Zhou Sheng shivered and struggled to stand up in the rainstorm. His armour was almost torn into pieces; his chest and back were all covered in Medusa’s scratches. His wounds wouldn’t heal, and blood continued to seep from them.

He lowered his head, and saw his face covered in mud reflected in a puddle in the arena.

“Admit defeat!’ Satan’s voice rang out, “Admitting your failure can also be considered to be a kind of courage.”

Zhou Sheng gasped for breath as he looked up. Medusa retracted her claws, her pupils rotating and dilating as they began to shine.

“No.” Zhou Sheng said coldly.

Before anyone could register it, the fox plushie on Zhou Sheng’s shoulder turned into a silver ray of light that shot into the sky.

After leaving the subway station, only one bus remained that departs at 9pm. Yu Hao waited for 45 minutes and sent a message to Zhou Sheng, but received no reply. By the time he got back to the dormitory, it was already 9.40pm.

Their summer vacation was ending soon, and more and more students were returning to school. Yu Hao looked at the pedestrians that walked to and fro and felt a slight pang of loss. He had obviously done a lot of things this summer vacation and earned quite a bit of money as well, yet it seemed like he had wasted time on a lot of worthless pursuits which made him feel an indescribable sense of emptiness.

Zhou Sheng went to meet the blind date partner that his father had arranged for him, they should date for quite some time ba? This would be good for both of us……Yu Hao walked back to the dormitory under the street lamps and opened the door. Fu Liqun would only return the next day. The dormitory appeared to have been cleaned up, and Zhou Sheng was sitting on the balcony.

Yu Hao didn’t say anything. He went to the balcony and wanted to pat his shoulder, but he saw that the Golden Crow Wheel was shining again. It flashed intermittently like that time he entered the subconscious; it was summoning him.

Yu Hao, “……”

Zhou Sheng was sitting on the reclining chair on the balcony and was in a deep slumber. His head tilted slightly sideways.

Yu Hao sat on the other reclining chair and frowned as he gently pulled up Zhou Sheng’s wrist. He placed it on his leg, pressed against the Golden Crow Wheel with his hand, and pressed against Zhou Sheng’s head with his own.

Translator's Note:

Juurensha: At this rate, Yu Hao is going to get a harem.

Dollars: +1 for harem. I like KaiKai and the sweet highschooler. ZS has to share because he dragged his heels and drove us crazy.

Share
