The Villain's Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 51

Face-Slapping the School Heartthrob and Student Council President (6)

Editor: ghost

Zhou Xu quietly took a step back. He knew that someone would definitely solve this problem for him. He only needed to watch the show unfold.

As expected, when Zhou Xu stepped back, You Luoqi stepped forward, “Who are you? Checking on us?”

Only now did Chang Shaojun look at You Luoqi and reply, “You Luoqi?”

“You know me?”

“Of course. The school heartthrob chosen for the year after a mere few months of school.”

“No matter what, you don’t have any right to interrogate my classmate like this.”

“This isn’t interrogation, I was only asking. If he doesn’t answer, I would be helpless.”

Zhou Xu was standing behind them, arms hugging himself. Yang He, who was by his side, discreetly winked at him and laughingly signalled Zhou Xu to escape. Zhou Xu looked at the door a few metres away before nodding.

When You Luoqi and Chang Shaojun were still busy with their “friendly exchange”, Zhou Xu and Yang He stealthily sneaked off.

In the winter’s freezing winds, the two seemed oblivious to the cold. Despite the wind blowing past their ears, the temperature of their palms grew warmer together. Zhou Xu really liked this feeling–he was willing to follow Yang He to be reckless.

Yang He pulled Zhou Xu and ran on a stretch of road before stopping, “Ha ha ha ha, this is too fun.”

“I’m starving. Let’s eat a meal first.” Zhou Xu really was hungry. It was already 1:30 pm. Fortunately, Zhou Xu did not have any afternoon lessons, so he had ample time for a meal.

The two found a small shop and ordered pork steamed with ground glutinous rice and fried chicken, casually picking two more dishes of green vegetables. They started to leisurely eat.

During the meal, Zhou Xu asked Yang He what he had been busy with. Yang He carelessly replied, “Marking some assignments.”

“And you were that busy?”

Picking up a piece of meat and putting it into Zhou Xu’s bowl, Yang He answered, “En, there are too many assignments and many of them are quality work so it was difficult to grade them. Anyway, are you throwing a fit because I didn’t accompany you?”

Zhou Xu raised his head, his eyes smiling. He replied, “That’s right.”

Looking at Zhou Xu’s smile, Yang He was momentarily fixed in place, only coming to after a long while. Yang He said, “Ai, Zhou Xu, I feel that I really have fallen in love with you.”

Zhou Xu nodded, “En, I sensed it.”

“Then what do you mean? Last time when I wanted to kiss you–why did you kick me in that place instead?”

Zhou Xu picked up a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into Yang He’s mouth, “Because you’re stupid.”

Yang He could only puff up his cheeks and chew on the piece of chicken leg. After chewing for a long time, he still spat it out.

“Aiyo, this chicken leg is too big. Right, anyway, what do you mean?” Yang He seemed to not think that he was confessing and there was not one bit of a romantic atmosphere. However Zhou Xu quite liked his straight-forward attitude. Yang He continued, “You don’t know, but when we celebrated New Year’s at your house and you pressed me against the wall, I got hard. I was scared to death when I got home.”

Lifting his head to look at Yang He, Zhou Xu replied, “Why were you so scared?”

“Because I got hard from you. You are a male ah, I thought I got an illness and consulted the Internet everyday.”

“And then?”

Yang He puffed out his chest and proudly said, “Then I found out I wasn’t gay. I only like you.”

Putting down his chopsticks, Zhou Xu looked at the sunny and candid child in front of him. He snorted and laughed, “Pft, you’re really so stupid.”

Zhou Xu stood up and flicked Yang He’s forehead.

Yang He made him feel very comfortable. This kind of person was, in truth, very warm-hearted.

“If I didn’t like you, then why would I go and look for you? Am I sick?” Zhou Xu said.

Zhou Xu thought he would never confess his feelings, but in the end he did. and unexpectedly, did not feel burdened. Perhaps it was because Zhou Xu firmly believed that Yang He was precisely the lover that chased him for a good few worlds.

The corners of Yang He’s mouth almost reached his ears in a big grin. His bright eyes were also no longer seen, only leaving a crescent. He looked a bit handsome, yet a bit silly.

“Don’t laugh so foolishly. I’ll tell you first that I still have many things to me that you don’t know, so you should be prepared.”

“No, no matter what you are like, I will like you regardless.” Yang He said with certainty.

After their meal, the two walked back to school. Since it was already lesson time and the weather was cold, the street did not have much people. Yang He and Zhou Xu leisurely walked, taking it as exercise to help digestion.

As they walked, Zhou Xu was suddenly pulled behind a large tree by Yang He. Without time to react, Yang He’s lips pressed against his.

After Zhou Xu’s initial shock, he then began to counterattack. Their tongues were entwined. The more they kissed, the more Zhou Xu found that the feeling was too familiar, so familiar that he could guess Yang He’s next move.

In these past few worlds, at every first kiss that person would be similarly inexperienced but earnest and fierce, as if using his tongue to fight.

Once they finished kissing, Yang He looked at Zhou Xu. He extended his hand to wipe the stains at his mouth before saying earnestly, “My first kiss.”

Zhou Xu smiled and took out keys from his pocket. He casually took the pocket knife hanging on the keys and held it against Yang He’s neck. Zhou Xu said, “Next time if you dare eat garlic before kissing me, you can wait with your neck washed.”

“Ha ha ha…”

“En?”

Yang He lowered his head, “I was wrong. I won’t do it again in the future.”

Satisfied with Yang He’s reaction, Zhou Xu prepared to continue walking. But he had not taken a step before his hand was pulled by Yang He. Zhou Xu looked at him questioningly. Yang He, somewhat embarrassed, squatted down still holding Zhou Xu’s hand.

“What’s wrong?”

“Wait for me, I need to wait for that place to soften.”

****

That night, Zhou Xu’s photoshopped picture was posted. Afterwards, the entire school net surged with comments. All the replies essentially said: Tell me, this can’t be photoshopped, there must be a girl this pretty….

The comments were followed by thousands of affirmations. Zhou Xu was very satisfied with this result.

The post maintained its position on the homepage. Zhou Xu put up another post and its contents were: there will be a crossdressing association in school, is there anyone who would want to sign up together?

Comments on the post remarked that the poster was simply following trends–the other post was simply too popular. However, some comments expressed hope that they could join the association.

Zhou Xu did not expect that afterwards he would be especially popular in school. When he left the dormitory, there would always be people secretly taking pictures. However, Zhou Xu did not pay any attention to that. What he was concerned about was why Chang Shaojun and You Luoqi were together again.

Of course, the two were not lovers; they claimed they were friends. However, Zhou Xu felt that since they could have sparks fly between them in the last world, this world may be the same.

Two weeks later, the national design competition results were out.

As expected, Zhou Xu’s prediction proved true. He obtained the special prize while You Luoqi and Chang Shaojun obtained the third tier prize.

Their university still had two others who obtained the second tied prize. In summary, their university had a total of five prize winners in this year’s competition, while other universities were likely to only have one or two such prizewinners.

Hence after the competition, there were people who came to interview X University’s design department.

Zhou Xu was definitely a target for an interview. However, Zhou Xu did not expect that on the interviewee list, there was a certain person. This person was precisely the design god and one of the judges on the panel of the competition: Jia Bei.

After thinking for a long while, Zhou Xu still could not recall a teacher called Jia Bei in the school. However, he definitely must meet Jia Bei; he had been the special prize winner for the national design competition four years in a row. His designs were unmatched in all aspects, whether it be colours, text or concept. This was why he was known as a deity.

However, Jia Bei was always very mysterious and this raised Zhou Xu’s interest.

At this time, You Luoqi and Chang Shaojun discovered that Zhou Xu was shockingly the competition’s special prize winner and his work was posted online.

After they finished examining Zhou Xu’s work, the two fell silent. No wonder they were third tier while Zhou Xu obtained the special prize. His talent was certainly not something they could measure up to.

The interview process began with interviewing the prizewinners. After each person briefly talked about their inspiration for their concept, the interviewers shifted their focus on Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu was very cooperative. He wanted to follow the interviewing crew to get acquainted with Jia Bei.

The interviewing crew had four people in total. They readily agreed and if Jia Bei was willing, the crew really wanted to record a segment of dialogue between Jia Bei and the new champion.

However, they were very apprehensive. Since Jia Bei was a very low-key person, this opportunity to interview him came because Jia Bei himself accepted the interview and gave them the address of his own accord. Otherwise, they would not have been able to find him.

Zhou Xu followed the crew to the downtown area. Zhou Xu thought to himself, it turns out that he was not a teacher of the school, but rather someone who stayed in the city.

When the interviewing crew opened the door, Zhou Xu was stupefied. The person inside wearing a Western-style suit was Yang He?

“Hello, may I ask if you are Jia Bei laoshi?”

Yang He smiled, “That is I. No need to call me Jia laoshi. Just call me by my real name, Yang He.”

Yang He turned his head to look at Zhou Xu, “This little student must be the special prize winner? Congratulations.”

The interviewing crew immediately replied, “Yes yes yes, this is Zhou Xu. You gave him a high score of 98 points.”

Yang He smiled and said, “The other judges all gave him 100 points except me right?”

Yang He wore a proud look. He stealthily found a chance to wink at Zhou Xu.

The interviewing crew took the chance to press for answers, “Then why did you deduct those two points?”

Yang He sat behind his office’s desk, smilingly saying, “Because the work was too rushed. There were some places that had a touch of sloppiness.”

Zhou Xu did not intend to say anything, but seeing Yang He’s prideful expression, he was put in a bad mood. Hence he walked out from behind the interviewing crew and said, while smiling, “Yang He laoshi, the first work which you received the special prize was also rushed, right? That time, although you won the special prize, it was probably because that competition’s entries were only so-so. If I graded it, I’d only give it 80 points. The second time, although the use of colour was very bold and daring, it was obvious that such a style was carefully chosen and expressed. If I graded it, it would only receive no more than 85 points.”

The interviewers began to shiver in fear. Yang He stood and looked at Zhou Xu with not quite a smiling expression, “What about the last two works? How many points would you give them?”

“The third, you continued with the same colour strategy as the second work, but this time the reds you used could not compare to the results of using rose red instead, so I would give you 90 points.”

“The last one?” Yang He walked towards Zhou Xu from his desk. The interviewing crew did not dare speak.

“I would give you 97 points for the last work, a point less than mine. Your confidence was too high. Although it was indeed a good work and showed improvement, the use of shadows had some errors. Others cannot tell, but I can.”

The interviewing crew completely did not utter a sound; Zhou Xu was a young and inexperienced university freshman yet he provoked the designing world’s big god with such incisive words?

“Cough cough, we will take our leave first. Jia Bei laoshi, no, Yang He laoshi, we will not bother you any longer.”

The interviewers stealthily left. Zhou Xu raised his head with an evil smile, “I wasn’t wrong, right?”

Yang He flashed his teeth in a grin, his smile as handsome as usual, “Completely right!”

Yang He lowered his head to kiss Zhou Xu, but Zhou Xu stepped on his foot. Yang He unexpectedly endured the pain–he did not release the Zhou Xu in his embrace nor did he stop the kiss.

Once the kiss ended, Zhou Xu said, “Your thing below is poking me.”
