Chapter 93
After a lot of painstaking efforts, the Flying Flowers series of photos were finally taken.
The old man and his chess friend didn’t go empty-handed either. They dragged a large cardboard box on the ground, planning to sell it as scrap.
Wang Xiaoming and Yu Zuojin examined the photos. Only Qi Sheng was sitting under the pear tree, battered and exhausted, his arms aching. Taking photos turned out to be more tiring than fighting.
He only had a wounded world now.
After sending the photos, Qi Sheng took out his phone to vote and painfully closed his eyes while looking at the backgrounds of the top three pictures.
May there be no more Flying Flowers photos in this world.
And may the remaining three days of the voting period be calm and ordinary, for true simplicity is beauty.
Yu Zuojin examined the photos and walked up to Qi Sheng. Looking up, Qi Sheng saw a pair of long legs.
“Let’s go.”
Qi Sheng stood up, patting his butt. Yu Zuojin took him to have dinner as a reward for helping with the photos.
With the efforts of Wang Xiaoming, Qi Sheng, and the two old men, Yu Zuojin’s photo climbed to the top spot on the school flower contest leaderboard the next day.
School forum:
“Five days, one hundred thousand votes, Boss Yu is amazing.”
“The school flower contest has taken an unexpected turn.”
“With this vote count, it’s likely that all the students in the school have voted for Yu Zuojin to some extent.”
“Not only students, but maybe even teachers.”
After Teacher Li finished typing, he turned off the phone screen and looked at Yu Zuojin, who was sitting on a small stool, solving physics problems.
The desires of the young were beyond his comprehension. Teacher Li was speechless.
Yu Zoujin seemed happier today than yesterday.
The last class of the morning ended, ushering in the era of a long lunch break.
Cun Tou and Sheng Yuan had made plans to eat out today and buy sports equipment.
In another half month, Cun Tou would be going to a training camp, followed by physical tests.
Xiao Pang suddenly needed to go to the bathroom so Sheng Yuan, Xia Zhiqi and the others were waiting for him at the entrance of the teaching building.
Xiao Pang lived up to his name, with a wide and chubby physique. From a distance, he looked like a ball rolling toward them. And a few steps behind him was Yu Zuojin.
Yu Zuojin’s presence didn’t surprise the others, as he and Sheng Yuan often hung out together, almost inseparable. Over time, the little brothers had grown accustomed to it.
The group of friends walked out of the school gate toward the sports equipment store. Xia Zhiqi asked, “Brother Sheng, what should we eat today?”
Xiao Pang said, “You’re asking such a difficult question. Do you want to die?”
“…”
Deciding what to eat was indeed a big problem that occured every day in the world.
Sheng Yuan glanced at Xia Zhiqi and the others, and then at Yu Zuojin.
[System: What are you looking at?]
Sheng Yuan said, “My foodie little brothers and foodie boyfriend.”
[System: …]
Don’t say it, you really shouldn’t say it.
They were all tall and vigorous boys who ate a lot. Xiao Pang loved eating, Xia Zhiqi had a big appetite, Cun Tou, as a sports student, ate a lot due to his high level of physical activity. And Yu Zuojin…
At that moment, Yu Zuojin turned his head to look at him.
Sheng Yuan averted his gaze.
[System: Why didn’t you mention him?]
Sheng Yuan said, “He’s simply a foodie.”
Truly Ambitious: “…”
Apparently, love didn’t completely blind your eyes.
Cun Tou: “Brother Sheng, let’s buy everything and go for a buffet. It’s only eighty yuan per person, and you can eat your fill.”
Eighty yuan per person sounded expensive for a student meal, but for the group, it was like a feast.
Once lunch was settled, there was nothing else to worry about.
The casual conversation quickly turned to the upcoming sports meet next week.
Xia Zhiqi and the others discussed which events to participate in, but Sheng Yuan wasn’t very interested.
Upon reaching the sports equipment store, the group walked inside, finding it crowded with customers.
“Cun Tou!”
Cun Tou turned around. It was a girl wearing the uniform of No.1 Middle School. She was about 1.75 meters tall, and her boyfriend was by her side.
They were both members of the No.1 Middle School athletics team.
The sports bags and wrist guards section happened to be next to them, so Cun Tou walked over to take a look. Beside the couple was their eternal light bulb, Jiang Chen. He was also a member of the school athletics team and friends with the girl’s boyfriend, but Cun Tou didn’t have a good impression of Jiang Chen.
Don’t ask why, it’s because he’s the most annoying poser in this lifetime.
Sheng Yuan looked at the row of sports bags hanging on the wall and pointed.
“Is that one good?”
Yu Zuojin looked at the brightly colored sports bag with pink letters that Sheng Yuan pointed to.
He replied expressionlessly, “It’s good.”
He lied without even blinking his eyes.
Truly Ambitious: Are you not ashamed?
Thinking everything looks good will only harm you.
Sure enough, love makes people blind.
Truly Ambitious offered sincere advice.
[System: It’s a lie, it’s not good-looking.]
Sheng Yuan said, “I don’t believe you.”
[System: …]
Sheng Yuan walked with determined steps to find the shop owner.
Truly Ambitious roared.
[System: It’s not good-looking! It’s true! It’s true!!]
Sheng Yuan said to the shop owner, “I want that one.”
The shop owner looked at Sheng Yuan in surprise.
“You have a good eye, young man!”
Truly Ambitious: “…”
It’s just a collection of ugly things.
The shop owner used a hook to take down the bag and showed it to Sheng Yuan, saying, “It’s brand new, look at the vibrant color on the front, and the color on the back is also vibrant.”
There was nothing else to praise, but the shop owner was doing his best.
Sheng Yuan paid for the bag and hung it on Yu Zuojin.
Yu Zuojin: “…”
Truly Ambitious: “…”
I told you.
Thinking everything looks good will only harm you.
But with Yu Zuojin’s good looks, he became a youthful, handsome guy when he wore this bag.
His face compensated for the bag’s ugliness.
A boy next to them looked and said, “Boss, do you still have the same bag in stock?”
Truly Ambitious: “…”
Sheng Yuan looked at the bag with great satisfaction.
“I think everything I pick for him suits him well.”
[System: Have you ever thought that it might be his problem?]
With his physique and appearance, everything looks good on him.
Sheng Yuan never considered that.
At that moment, a loud noise came from the distance.
“If I had a girlfriend, I would treat her better than you treat yours!” Jiang Chen was declaring to the young couple.
“If I won 1,500 yuan, 1314 of it is my girlfriend’s pocket money.”
Truly Ambitious was curious.
[System: What about the remaining 186?]
Sheng Yuan replied, “That’s his height.”
As expected, the girl asked, “What about the remaining 186?”
“How did you know I’m 186 centimeters tall?”
Truly Ambitious: “…”
Conspicuous boasting.
Jiang Chen was one of those athletes you would find in every sports team. He wasn’t diligent in training but loved to show off. He had all the training equipment but hardly used it. He took great pride in his Identity as an athlete and never stopped talking about his height.
Sheng Yuan noticed that the wrist guards over there were also nice, so he went to take a look.
Jiang Chen saw the attention in the store gradually shifting towards him and he raised his head a little.
“Isn’t there a sports meet next week?”
He turned around and said, “I’ll crush your boyfriend in the 3000-meter race!”
The next moment, his gaze met a pair of bright eyes.
Sheng Yuan was looking straight at him.
Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he saw him.
‘Fuck, it’s Sheng Yuan!’
Jiang Chen suddenly became silent, losing his previous air of arrogance.
Xiao Pang asked, “Why isn’t he saying anything anymore?”
Cun Tou replied, “He’s making a point.”
Xiao Pang: “…”
Don’t make me laugh.
Sheng Yuan looked at him and said in a casual tone, “What did you say?”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
Although the delinquents at No.1 Middle School had become more restrained recently, Sheng Yuan still had a notorious reputation, not mention there was Yu Zuojin standing by his side.
This was the consequence of showing off in front of a king, he instantly became mute.
“Crush my boyfriend?”
Jiang Chen said, “No, Brother Sheng, I was talking about her boyfriend, not yours.”
You’re a guy, what boyfriend do you have?
But he didn’t dare to say it out loud.
Xia Zhiqi exclaimed in shock, “What? Brother Sheng has a boyfriend?”
Xiao Pang said, “…You’re being outrageous.”
Xiao Pang couldn’t understand what kind of magical thought process Xia Zhiqi had.
Just when Jiang Chen thought that Sheng Yuan was going to teach him a lesson, Sheng Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, “Alright, I’ll be waiting to see it.”
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
Yu Zuojin didn’t even spare him a glance and followed Sheng Yuan to look at the wrist guards.
Seeing that Sheng Yuan showed no intention of teaching him a lesson, Jiang Chen quickly slipped away to another place.
The sports meet was scheduled for next week. Yesterday, each class had started registering for the events. It was the last school activity for the seniors and the teacher hoped that everyone in the class would have a sense of participation and enthusiasm by signing up for at least one event.
Yu Zuojin didn’t care much and had his class monitor sign him up for the 3000-meter race, and Sheng Yuan had learned about this when they discussed the sports meet this morning.
Cun Tou finished picking his things, and the group left the sports equipment store and went to the buffet restaurant. After paying, the waiter led them to a table for six, and they all went to get their food.
Sheng Yuan felt a bit hot and went to get an ice cream cone. When he returned, the table was already piled with food.
[System: You are no longer a delinquent at this moment.]
“What am I then?”
[System: The leader of the bandits.]
Sheng Yuan: “…”
It really does look like it.
The owner of the buffet restaurant walked by and felt weak in the legs when he saw their table. He quickly closed his eyes and walked past them. ‘What a nightmare.’
Sheng Yuan took a few servings of food and sat back at the table, eating his ice cream. During that time, Xia Zhiqi and Yu Zuojin also came back.
Xia Zhiqi sat opposite him, and Yu Zuojin sat next to him.
Sheng Yuan’s ice cream melted faster than he could eat it, and the slush dripped onto his fingers. Xia Zhiqi saw this and pulled out a few tissues from a tissue pack to wipe it off for Sheng Yuan carelessly.
“Brother Sheng, it’s dripping on your hand.”
Sheng Yuan took the tissues from him and said, “Thanks.”
There was no direct contact between their skin, as they were separated by the tissues, but Yu Zuojin’s eyes seemed to pierce through Xia Zhiqi.
Xia Zhiqi didn’t think much of it; what he did was nothing out of the ordinary.
“I forgot to get the sashimi!”
Xia Zhiqi exclaimed and quickly got up to leave, wondering if there was any left.
Sheng Yuan had eaten half of his ice cream when another drip fell onto his fingers.
Yu Zuojin saw this and reached over to hold his hand, using a tissue to wipe it.
His actions were not as carefree as Xia Zhiqi’s but rather serious. Sheng Yuan just changed the ice cream to his other hand and continued eating.
His fingers were fair and translucent, and the tips of his fingers were slightly reddened from the cold of the ice cream.
Yu Zoujin he stared at the white and rosy fingertips, and gulped.
Sitting next to Sheng Yuan and wiping his fingers, it was a stark contrast to Xia Zhiqi’s carefree behavior just now.
Truly Ambitious suddenly thought of a phrase.
Being open and straightforward is friendship, being cautious and careful is love…
Then, a pitch-black screen suddenly appeared in front of it.
Blocked.
Truly Ambitious: “…”
Being open and straightforward is friendship, being cautious and careful is perverted…
