Face-Slapping the School Heartthrob and Student Council President (3)
Editor: ghost
This meeting was just a formality. Since they were university students and not primary school children, they heard the same thing on safety against fires and burglars every year. Now they were disgusted to be hearing the same thing all over again, but they had no choice but to obediently sit down.
“This is pretty much everything you need to pay attention to. School starts on March 2, don’t be late.” Yang He kept the materials. This counted as him accomplishing his first duty as a new teacher. He dismissed the students with a wave of his hand.
Zhou Xu was leaving with the crowd when he was stopped by the new teacher, “Zhou Xu?”
Yang He was taller than Zhou Xu by quite a bit. Thus in close proximity, Zhou Xu needed to slightly raise his head to talk to him. The contours of his neck was made more obvious and with the addition of his smooth, fair skin, Yang He was stunned for a moment.
“Is something the matter?”
Yang He recovered and smiled, “You really are Little Xu! That’s great, let’s go home together; I’ll send you.”
Zhou Xu knew who Yang He was. Indeed, the two were acquainted when they had been children. However, Yang He had left to study in a high school elsewhere before entering university. Meanwhile, Zhou Xu had become more and more closed off. With their age gap of seven years in the equation, they naturally had not kept in touch.
Actually, when Zhou Xu was eight or nine years old, he had played with Yang He. At that time, he was already studying in high school and afterwards, it seemed that they never met again.
Now Zhou Xu was already nineteen. They did not see each other for ten years and these ten years were between their childhood and youth now. The change was too great hence at first, Yang He hesitated for quite some time before seeking Zhou Xu’s confirmation. Yang He did not expect that Zhou Xu really was that small child from the past.
“No need ” Zhou Xu rejected. He already bought his railway ticket.
The original host’s family was not particularly well-off. His parents were working away from home and Zhou Xu did not want to waste the money he had already spent.
Yang He laughed. His smile was filled with radiance. He extended his hand to rub Zhou Xu’s head, but Zhou Xu slapped his hand away, “Don’t paw at me.”
However Yang He was only more delighted. Not only did he continue, he even pulled Zhou Xu into his embrace.
“Ha ha ha, Little Xu, why are you still so cute even after growing up? Ha ha ha….”
Actually, Zhou Xu could have thrown him off. However, in that moment he felt that his hug was particularly warm and familiar, as if he had been hugged hundreds and thousands of times before.
His body stiffened. Zhou Xu had a suspicion: was Yang He the lover that followed him for these few worlds?
“Ha ha ha, Little Xu, I have a car to send you back. Why would you still want to ride the railway train? It’s troublesome and packed. Come come come, call me He-gege”
“Older brother He” was the younger Zhou Xu’s way of calling Yang He. He had not expected Yang He to still remember.
He stomped on Yang He’s foot. Zhou Xu watched as Yang He released him to clutch his foot and hop around in pain for a long time. Yang He even kept crying out “ouch”. Zhou Xu laughed, “He-gege, you don’t need to; I will return home myself. Goodbye.”
Zhou Xu turned and left.
It was not that Zhou Xu was unwilling to go with Yang He; Zhou Xu disliked the feeling of being seen through so easily. Zhou Xu also firmly believed that if Yang He was his lover, he would definitely find him again.
Zhou Xu was already very clear after a few worlds. His lover always had a special point: he loved sticking to Zhou Xu; if he did not need to leave his side, he would not, even for a minute.
Zhou Xu threw off Yang He and walked out. But the corner of his mouth could not help but lift; he had to admit that he indeed missed the hug just now.
Under the sunlight, the gentle breeze lifted Zhou Xu’s bangs. His smiling expression carried elation and his handsome features made him look like he had just walked out of a painting, untouched by dirt.
A handsome student was left stunned at the place where Zhou Xu had walked past. The student stared at him until he was indistinct yet he did not snap out of his daze.
“Boss, boss?”
“Ah?” The student turned his head to look at his roommate next to him, “What’s the matter?”
“What the matter with you, Boss? What are you looking at? How come you suddenly turned stupid?”
The student who was called boss fiercely hit his roommate with a fist before laughing, “You’re the stupid one. It’s nothing, let’s go.”
This student was precisely the Student Council President Chang Shaojun. Together with You Luoqi in the original world, they had completely trampled on Zhou Xu’s life. However, Zhou Xu did not expect that in this world, he would once again fall in love with him at first sight.
Returning to his dormitory, Chang Shaojun directly used his connections to look up the departments and classes that used teaching block 8; Zhou Xu had walked from that block’s direction.
In the end, Chang Shaojun never expected that the number of classes that used teaching block 8 was more than sixty.
At this time, You Luoqi had realised that Zhou Xu was indeed no longer the Zhou Xu that secretly liked him. Zhou Xu never carefully followed him, bought breakfast or heated water for him, nor snuck glances at him again. Zhou Xu already had enough radiance in his life.
In the past, You Luoqi did not know, but now that Zhou Xu gave him the cold treatment for a month, he realised that he truly hoped that Zhou Xu would treat him as his everything again.
You Luoqi came to an abrupt pause. He asked himself, why did he think this way? Why did his gaze always follow Zhou Xu? Could it be love?
Right, this must be love.
A warm feeling washed over his heart. You Luoqi smiled. It turns out that he liked Zhou Xu.
You Luoqi was different from Zhou Xu; he knew from the start that he was gay. His parents were more liberal-minded though, so when he came out of the closet to them, he did not receive any violent opposition.
Hence You Luoqi was not worried or troubled that he liked Zhou Xu. On the contrary, he realised that there was finally a man that he liked; it was great for him.
When he returned to the dormitory, You Luoqi saw Zhou Xu packing his luggage. Even his action of packing luggage was so good-looking, as if he had a kind of attractive force.
You Luoqi walked behind Zhou Xu and said, “Zhou Xu, let’s talk for a bit.”
Zhou Xu turned his head while lifting his backpack, “You have some matters?”
You Luoqi nodded, “En, it’s very important.”
Zhou Xu looked at the handsome school heartthrob in front of him and faintly smiled, “Then I’m sorry, I’m rushing for the train. We can talk after the winter break, goodbye.”
Zhou Xu did not give any time for You Luoqi to react and left the dormitory in big strides.
Exiting the dormitory building, Zhou Xu raised his head to look at the sky and his mood became better. He realised that this world seemed to have many people and many matters that he did not have control over, like Yang He and You Luoqi.
The present You Luoqi lightly laughed and supported his forehead with a palm after being in a daze for a while. Even though Zhou Xu was so cold towards him, he seemed to be really happy; after a month, Zhou Xu finally talked to him.
After a three hour train ride, Zhou Xu arrived at his parent’s home.
It was a rather small residential community. Most of the families there knew each other. When Zhou Xu was young, he had always been brought out by different people to play because he was very cute and spoke nicely.
After he grew up, Zhou Xu changed. Because he was agoraphobic, he always walked at the edge of roads. When people greeted him, he would only lower his head and mumble a sentence.
The people in the community were all very kind, but after they received such a reaction every time, they did not greet Zhou Xu anymore.
Getting down from the train, Zhou Xu searched the original host’s memory. He wanted to let the original host receive warm welcomes in the community and let his parents be proud of him. Even if one day they found out about Zhou Xu’s transvestism, they would simply smile and say, “Zhou Xu, you look beautiful today.”
The train station was not far from the small residential community. It was a walk slightly longer than ten minutes. He did not call his grandfather or his parents so that he could give them a surprise.
Smiling, Zhou Xu looked forward to meeting the family he had in this world.
As he walked, Zhou Xu saw a middle aged woman up ahead, carrying two bags of vegetables. Zhou Xu walked forward and faintly smiled, “Auntie Chen, are you returning home? I’ll help you carry a bag; it looks rather heavy.”
Auntie Chen looked at Zhou Xu in a daze and did not give him the bag. Zhou Xu smiled again, “Auntie Chen, you don’t remember me? I’m Zhou Xu, the sixth building, third storey’s Grandfather Zhou’s grandson.”
Auntie Chen then recalled but wondered, wasn’t Zhou Xu very quiet in the past? However, this was rather good, much better than his gloomy self in the past. Auntie Chen smiled.
Giving a bag of her vegetables to Zhou Xu, Auntie Chen warmly said, “Aiya, Little Xu. Look at yourself; you’re so handsome now that I couldn’t recognise you. Time really passes too fast; I still remember you would come over and freeload my food when you were young. Right, aren’t you still in school?”
“I’m on winter break. I just returned today.” Zhou Xu smiled as he replied.
The two laughed and chatted as they walked. Auntie Chen would introduce Zhou Xu to old acquaintances and friends, as if he were her own son, and a son that made her proud at that.
Zhou Xu knew that people like Auntie Chen had no bad intentions, they simply liked chatting. Since she liked him, then the entire residential community would not have one person that did not.
After he finally sent Auntie Chen home, Zhou Xu knocked on the door of his own home. He guessed what his grandfather and parents’ expressions would be.
The old door opened and a person stood inside the house. However, why was this person Yang He?
“Call me Older Brother He otherwise I won’t let you in,” Yang He laughed.
Since it was an old residential area, the main door had two layers. The first was the wooden door that Yang He had opened, and the second was the security grille door.
“Open the door.” Zhou Xu unenthusiastically looked at Yang He.
“Ha ha ha, don’t be angry. Why is it that you haven’t changed since the past? You treat others very well yet you lose your temper at me.” Yang He opened the door and rubbed Zhou Xu’s head. He pulled Zhou Xu in.
“Uncle, Auntie, Grandfather,I told you that Little Xu would definitely return home within the hour.” Yang He proudly pushed Zhou Xu to his parents before extending his palm, “come come come, I’ve won. Two hundred from each person, hurry up.”
Zhou Xu greeted his parents and grandfather, then slowly turned his head to look at Yang He, emphasising each word, “You used me to gamble with my family?”
