Chapter 5


The next few days, An Youxi ran to Ran Ningmu’s military training every day with a camera in hand.


From the curious eyes of Ran Ningmu’s classmates, everyone knew about the newlyweds, who had been on the front page of the forum for several days. The gossip was posted.


An Youxi had thick skin and was not afraid of what others will say. Of course, he himself had selfish intentions 1happy that he and RNM had gossiped as a couple, but he didn’t know whether Ran Ningmu was unhappy when he saw the forum…


Thinking of that, An Youxi simply decided to ask the person directly.


“Does the Senior mind?” Unexpectedly, after hearing An Youxi’s concern, Ran Ningmu asked An Youxi instead, “ About the rumours of us having an affair.”


Would you mind being bound to me through the rumours?


“No, no, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind at all,” An Youxi shook his head like a rattle, paused quickly glancing at Ran Ningmu, his fingers clenched the hem of his clothes as he said, “I’m mainly afraid that you would not want it, do you mind…”


“I don’t mind!” Ran Ningmu hurriedly said startling An Youxi.


Facing Senior An Youxi’s frightened and clear eyes which was similar to a small animal, Ran Ningmu took a breath and secretly warned himself not to scare the other party as he said softly, “As a matter of fact, I was the one who took advantage of you in this matter, Senior. Don’t be angry, Senior.”


“How come…” I only wish to be bounded with you, please lock me up right away, okay?


If Ran Ningmu knew what the other party was thinking, he would have snatched the key from An Youxi’s hand and swallowed it without saying a word. 2 Will obediently follow whatever An Youxi asks, similar to if you say go east, he will only go east.


Unfortunately, although both of them were virgins, they were not 30 year old, so they do not have the power to read other’s mind.3 30 year olds are mature and can read one’s emotion and sometimes determine what someone is saying. Has to do with their maturity and experience.


An Youxi and Ran Ningmu looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time they thought emotionally,


He is really a very gentle person.


***


On the fourth day of the military training, An Youxi no longer carried his camera as a cover, but went over there carrying his school bag on his back.


Ran Ningmu greeted him as he noticed An Youxi’s empty hands, he asked, “Senior, are you done taking photos?”


“Ah, yes.” An Youxi spread out used old newspaper on the stone table and chair. Then as he took out his books from the bag he explained, “Previously, I was helping the Newspaper Department to take some photos of the military training, now the task is done, I returned the camera.”


Ran Ningmu pressed his lips together when he heard these words, and did not know whether An Youxi was flirting or not, then said in a low voice, “Then, I will not be able to see Senior anymore…”


What ah! Isn’t he behaving coquettishly?


Are all boys nowadays, polite like this!


An Youxi screamed in his heart, but his voice was still clear, “No, this side of the grove  4a group of trees that are close together  is quite cool, so I plan to study here, in the future you can still see me here.”


Ran Ningmu, “Is that so, then does the Senior want go to the cafeteria with me for breakfast?”


Huh?


An Youxi looked up, his eyes shining brightly.


There can be such a good opportunity in the world?


Ran Ningmu coughed lightly, “My roommates get up late and won’t make it to the cafeteria, and you seem to be alone, so do want to accompany me?”


“Yes.” An Youxi almost raised his hands and feet in agreement. Now hurry up and chase after the victory, “Look, lets have breakfast together, how about also having lunch and dinner together? My roommates like to order takeout and they don’t like to eat in the cafeteria, so I have my lunch and dinner alone.”


The clever ghost used the same rhetoric reason Ran Ningmu used to persuade him to eat with him.


After he finished speaking, he looked at Ran Ningmu anxiously, his eyes full of expectation, making Ran Ningmu wonder if he had too much of self-awareness.


Otherwise, why was the other party’s own reflection could be seen in the clear and bright eyes, as if he was all he had that moment…


Well, maybe he was thinking too much.


Ran Ningmu’s eyes was full of “there was such a good thing in this world” and then afterall he was gentle, polite and still humerous and lively, and so he said OK, which symbolised the agreement.


An Youxi whose eyes which reflected Ran Ningmu seemed to be dizzy in happiness as he said, “Then, that’s a deal.”


***


The two of them did not finish saying a few bords, before the instructor shouted to assemble. Even though Ran Ningmu was reluctant, he had to return to the team honestly.


The majority of the instructors in the military training were seniors who had returned from the army to continue their studies, and there was not huge difference in their age compared to Ran Ningmu.


The boys of this age were more or less rowdy, so in addition to the usual formal training, the instructors will also take some time to play some interesting games with their juniors.


Like today, it was estimated that the learning process was fast, so the instructor proposed to play “Eagle catching Chickens.”


Since there was no ‘eagle’ role in the game, the instructor renames it to “Hen catching Chickens.”


But the students privately prefer to call it “Pecking each other.”


One instructor generally leads two classes.  Thus, the two classes were automatically divided into two teams and each team will send one student to play the role of ‘hen’ and then the two hens will start catching the other sides ‘chickens.’ 5the one selected student is the hen and the rest of the team are chickens. The opposite class’s hen would have to catch the other team’s chicken.


Ran Ningmu was the tallest in his class and was sacrificed to be a ‘hen’ on the spot. With most girls standing behind him, they only reached his shoulder in height, making him stand out from the crowd.


Each class can have around 20 students or more, thus overall there were around 50 students in the two classes together.


50 chickens running around the field, one can imagine how fierce the scene must be.


An Youxi enjoyed watching it so much that he secretly took many high-resolution photos with his mobile phone.


At the end, Ran Ningmu’ class lost.


The main reason was because Ran Ningmu ran too fast and threw all the chickens behind him unable to catch up, and those chickens were caught by the opponent ‘hen.’


The instructor smiled and said, “The losing team will do 50 pushups each, is it possible?”


The boys chattered.


“A real man can’t say no!”


“It’s just 50 squats, isn’t it? I can do 100 of them with my girlfriend in my arms!”


“Holy shit, are you showing off? How can we single dogs live?”


“All right if you want to hug someone while doing the squats, I will give you a chance.” The instructor said while watching the excitement. “Those who want to do squats, do combine squats. And those who are hugged, no need to do squats. You can invite someone you like.” After a pause he added, “It can be a man or a woman, there is no limit.”


“Hahahaha, this is so exciting!”


“Baby? Do you want this brother to hug you?”


“Get lost! Are you so disgusting? Hahahaha”


An Youxi was about to choke from laughter, and though that the instructor was really a wonderful person.


Then the next second, he saw a girl walking towards Ran Ningmu.


An Youxi: smile instantly disappeared.jpg


***


“Ran Ningmu”


Ran Ningmu lowed his eyes, it was the girl he had helped out before.


At the moment, the girl was standing in front of him, blushing and somewhat squirming, calling his name.


“Ran Ningmu, have you found a partner yet? Do you want to team up with me?”


Although the girl was shy, she tilted her head and looked straight into Ran Ningmu’s eyes causing Ran Ningmu to be startled.


In the two seconds of his dae, Ran Ningmu’s side quickly gathered a crowd of onlookers, making Ran Ningmu wonder if there was an antenna on their head for receiving signals for gossip.


“Ran Ningmu, don’t be silly, aren’t you a man? Hurry up and agree!”


Damn, are these people not idle?


Ran Ningmu brushed his hair irritably, his eyes turned to the people in front of him and let out a ligt tsk.


It’s a little hard to reject the girl.


He looked at the girl, “I’m sorry, I…”


Ran Ningmu was about to organize how he was going to reject her politely, when An Youxi suddenly appeared beside him, as if raising from the ground startling both him and the girl.


“I’ll do it…” An Youxi stared at the girl’s silly expression as he said shyly.


“Oh, okay.” The girl looked at An Youxi, and then at Ran Ningmu, nodded in a daze and turned around and walked away swftly.


“Damn it! The Empress is here!” A certain boy who was deeply brainwashed by the forum yelled out with a shocked face.


Others also discussed.


“What’s going on? Isn’t this An Youxi? What is he doing here?”


“Both of them are not a couple for real, bah?”


***


“Senior? Why did you come over?”


An Youxi froze for a moment, then raised his head to meet Ran Ningmu’s surprised eyes and realized what he had done, he blushed, “ I saw that you seem to be in some trouble, so I came over to help you…”


The more he said, the smaller his voice got and in the end, it was so small it was similar to mosquito’s buzzing and then he couldn’t even utter any word clearly.


Oh my god, Oh my god…


What on earth was he doing?


Why, why did he run directly into other people’s class?


“Have you found the person? Once you have found them, get ready and start counting!”


The instructor was a wonderful man who grew up eating Mickey Mouse Crisps, glanced at An Youxi and Ran Ningmu and said calmly, “Its okay to ask for help from outside people.”


There was a burst of laughter.


An Youxi was so ashamed, that he covered his face and wanted to run away, but before he took a step forward, Ran Ningmu grabbed his wrist.


He didn’t know whether it was his illusion or not, An Youxi seemed to hear girls screaming and boys groaning.


“Senior, aren’t you here to help me?”


Ran Ningmu, An Youxi’s favourite, was not at all moved by the gaze of others as he stared at An Youxi as if he was looking at an angel.


How kind must this person to step up in this kind of situation.


Moreover, the Senior really does care about him, right?


“You drove my partner away, shouldn’t you compensate me?”


An Youxi: ?!


This, this was him6Ran Ningmu who spoke these words?


This person, what partner, why are you talking so ambiguously!


“How do I pay…” An Youxi’s heart beat so fast that his voice was trembling.


Don’t tell me I have to pay you back!


Ran Ningmu glanced at An Ningmu’s red ears, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, “ Repay by yourself.”


An Youxi: ….


An Youxi felt like he was about to faint.


“Promise him!”


He didn’t know which big brother was so idle that he suddenly roared in such a voice.


Suddenly, as if there was a thunder in the field, the onlookers raised their hands and repeated in unison.


“Say yes to him!”


“Say yes!”


“Say yes!”


It was very similar to shouting “Marry him”, “Marry him”, “Marry him.”


What’s wrong with you people?!


Just when An Youxi was about to explode in shame, the instructor suddenly called out to start.


What?


??


Now An Youxi suspected that the instructor not only grew up eating Mickey Mouse Crisps, but also lived in the Mickey Mouse house!


“My body is sweaty, please bear with me Senior.”


“Ah?”


An Youxi’s head turned helplessly and was suddenly lifted by two arms in military uniform by his waist. His vision rotated as his body went crisp.


While An Youxi was feeling dizzy, he heard Ran Ningmu’s deep voice from above, the vibration of Ran Ningmu’s chest came in close contact with his skin and half of his body was numb.


“Hold on to my clothes.”


But before Ran Ningmu finished speaking, An Youxi had reflexively wrapped his arms around Ran Ningmu’s neck.


A lot of whistles were heard around them booing.


Ran Ningmu raised his eyebrows in surprise.


An Youxi whose actions were faster than his brain: “…”


Ah, my damn instincts.


The author has something to say:


An Youxi: What grabbing clothes? We are directly tempted by the neck to grab it.


Melon eaters: eh, eh, very hilarious, the excitement is so nice!


The author who tried to mix in the crowd: Say yes! Say yes!


Translator: Say Yes!
