Chapter 8
The fifteen days of military training soon came to an end with the debriefing performance held on the last day. In the evening, the school’s clubs and departments jointly held a welcome event, setting up lights and tents on the ground to recruit new students.
There were sounds of singing and guitar strings flowing like water in the night, and the colourful swirling lights looked like broken pixel blocks stitched together, creating a buzz wherever one went.
Xia Qianqian said that the response to the previous year’s freshmen training period was overwhelming, with people leaving comments on the official website saying that the photos were taken well and hoped to get high-definition original photos.
So, this year Xia Qianqian threw Ran Ningmu’s photo on the official website to attract fans without saying a word and strongly stated that only a gay guy with high aesthetics like An Youxi can perfectly bring the beauty of another gay person- Ran Ningmu. So, this time the welcome event must be taken pictures by An Youxi, so An Youxi came to take pictures with a camera hanging on him.
“I worked in the Newspaper Department for three years previously and I was the head of the department for a year when I was a junior. So, I brought up Xia Qianqian here by hand and I have the best relationship with her in the school other than my roommate, so I usually take care of everything. That’s why I’m a retired non-staff member of the department.”
An Youxi explained as he raised his camera and secretly captured Ran Ningmu’s figure in the mottled a 1patchwork of colours lights and shadow.
“So that’s how it is.” Ran Ningmu turned around and was taken aback when he saw the pitch-black camera and then slowly laughed, “Good, Senior, you actually secretly taking pictures of me and now I’ve caught you.”
“No, Xia Qianqian asked me to take pictures of you.” An Youxi quickly dumped the pot 2blaming on Xia Qianqian’s head, looking down at Ran Ningmu’s sweet smile in the camera and blushing a little.
In fact, he wasn’t lying, Xia Qianqian did say she wanted him to take pictures of Ran Ningmu, but she wanted a picture of the two of them together, so he didn’t know what her intention was to think like that.
“Okay,” Ran Ningmu came over and put his head next to An Youxi’s face and looked at the photos in the camera along with him, “ So, I look like this in the Senior’s eyes ah, I’m a bit handsome eh…”
The warmth of the body due to the body temperature and the faint smell of grass and wood wrapped in the smell of lemon came over unexpectedly and An Youxi’s breath stalled slightly.
He was really handsome, even more than when he was in military training.
An Youxi thought to himself.
This was the first time he saw Ran Ningmu in normal regular clothes.
Ran Ningmu’s clothes were so good that not only did they not shame his beauty, but it was like icing on the cake.
Tonight, Ran Ningmu wore a plain solid colour T-Shirt on top and a pair of beige athletic elastic trousers underneath, showing the ends of the ties, making the whole person look refreshing and tender as grass in early spring.
In the end, paired with Ran Ningmu’s long legs and beautiful face, the index of the milk dog exploded.
It’s not his fault that he couldn’t help resisting the urge to snap photos of him 3Ran Ningmu. It’s just he was so bright that even the students who passed by were not spared, and couldn’t help turning around 100%!
Damn, this arsonist 4Ran Ningmu unconsciously exudes his charm at all times!
Ran Ningmu took a peek at An Youxi and caught a glimpse of pink on his cheeks and knew that he had made the right first step and it was definitely worthwhile for him to study all night how to dress up like a milk dog.
The result was really good, keep up the good work!
An Youxi blushed and put away his camera, “Well, after looking around for so long, have you decided which club or department you like to join?”
Ran Ningmu accepted the question and moved away from An Youxi to a safe distance and said with a smile, “I haven’t thought about it yet, do you have any suggestions, Senior?”
When it came to this matter, An Youxi really had some ideas, “Although you are free after joining the college, you don’t have much time for entertainment. Joining a club and a school department is enough. No matter whether you join both of them or one of them, you will be busy. Clubs are mainly based on interests and hobbies, with the idea to relax your mind. On the other hand, the departments’ school level is more valuable than the college level, so I only joined the school level and did not join the college level.” 5To clearly say, most universities/colleges have several departments and that particular department is called a school. For example, if there is a college which provides majors in business, law, medicine and computer science, the college may call these departments a business school, law school, medical school and computer science school inside the college. AYX is saying that its best to join you particular school’s department (probably the Student Council) rather than the whole college’s department. Lol, written an explanation too long. XD
“That’s it,” An Youxi spoke nervously and Ran Ningmu also thought seriously, “Then, let me think about it…”
“An Youxi!”
At that moment, a boy he 6RNM didn’t know ran over with a skateboard in his arms and patted An Youxi on the back familiarly and said with a grin, “What a coincidence, you also came to play son?”
Ran Ningmu tensed reflexively.
Ever since he witnessed An Youxi staring at other men at the courier point that day, Ran Ningmu has been in a indescribable state.
Ran Ningmu’s sharp eyes secretly looked at the bright smiling face and the clean features of the boy in front of him, then he was shocked to discover… that the boy was also a little milk dog!
Ran Ningmu was dumbfounded.
“Yeah, I came over to take a look around and take some pictures for Xia Qianqian,” An Youxi and the other party were on good terms, so he asked gently, “By the way, is your stall near here?”
The boy pointed ahead: “Yes, yes it’s over there, it’s very close, do you want to go over and take a look?”
Ran Ningmu was instantly alert for a moment and refused, “We don’t want to trouble you…”
“No trouble, no trouble at all, it’s just I was also going back to recruit new people, drop by… eh? Wait!” The boy stared at Ran Ningmu’s face and hissed, “You are that one! The one whom princess hugged An Youxi… the new School Grass!”
An Youxi, “…”
Although he knew that that 7RNM princess hugging AYX matter, it couldn’t be said in public like this.
The boy pointed at Ran Ningmu and his eyes lit up like a dog seeing a bone, “You are a freshman!”
Ran Ningmu, “…Yeah.”
That’s bullshit.
“Freshman! Fresh student in flesh! That’s all more of a reason not to let go! Go go go, I must take you to my club!” With that, the boy hooked his arm around Ran Ningmu’s shoulders and led him towards his club.
“Wait, you guys slow down!”
An Youxi’s complexion changed and his heart instantly turned into a 250L vinegar jar in an instant.
He hadn’t even touched Ran Ningmu’s shoulder yet, but he was actually hooked by another man… damn it!
The other person was so enthusiastic that it was really hard for Ran Ningmu to get rid of him, so he was dragged to the booth of the skateboarding club for no reason, but the boy as the president of the skateboarding club, was very busy and when he arrived, he was surrounded by other club member and hurriedly said, “Be sure to join us” and then he was dragged away ruthlessly, leaving Ran Ningmu’s ‘fresh student in flesh’ alone in place.
“…” Ran Ningmu suddenly thought, “Is this person a little careless?”
An Youxi who was about to be sour 8jealous, “…?”
Am I not supposed to say anything?
An Youxi explained in a daze, “Its not bad, mainly because the relationship between the news department and the skateboard club has always been good.”
“Huh? Why, these two departments/clubs don’t seem to be directly connected?”
“Because the photography work of the news department often requires the help of the skateboarding department. For example, mobile photography of a promotional film, and the long-distance running during the Sports Meet of the Sports club. We don’t have such a long slide rail. As bicycles and Small Motors are not allowed in the playground, we comprehensively considered skateboarding was the best choice.”
Ran Ningmu, “…”
The sports club really didn’t occur to him.
“Are you interested in skateboarding? If you’re interested, you can try it out, its quite interesting.”
An Youxi was thinking beautifully if Ran Ningmu joins the skateboarding club, he and their news department would be in-laws~
“Does the Senior know how to skateboard?”
“Eh?” An Youxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, “I can’t do it, I’m not good in sports.”
Ran Ningmu thought for a while and said, “ Let me think about it first…”
Skateboarding was something Ran Ningmu really knew how to do, but it was all back in high school. What gave him a more exciting feeling of thrill during the summer vacation was a motorcycle.
Coincidentally, the President of the Skateboard club who was dragged away to work by the club members were showing off his skills not far away, drawing constant applause from everyone.
An Youxi looked in the direction of the lights with brilliance in his eyes as he said, “So handsome…”
Ran Ningmu waved his hand, “No need to think about it, it’s this! Skateboard club!”
An Youxi, “…ah?” What’s with the sudden agreement?
“Hey, An Youxi!” At that moment, a girl with curly hair suddenly ran over and then slapped An Youxi on the back again, “ I finally found you. I’ve been looking for you for a long time, and you didn’t reply to my message at all.”
An Youxi glanced at the phone quickly and sure enough, he saw several unread messages and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t check the phone…”
“Its okay, I guessed it a long time ago, I just met the people from the Skateboarding Club just now and I heard that there are two handsome guys here as wallpaper, so I came over to take a look at you guys.”
Xia Qianqian stared at Ran Ningmu, blinked and said with a slight smile, “Hello, I’m Xia Qianqian, the head of the news department.”
“Hello, I’m Ran Ningmu.”
“I know, this year, you beat An Youxi to become the new school grass from the School of Economics and Management. I’ve been seeing the post on the forum for half a month. And today, I finally saw the real person! Looking it this way, you look really handsome! Hahaha!”
An Youxi, “Cough cough!”
Ran Ningmu thought that this girl can really talk and said sincerely, “Thank you.”
He just didn’t know why, but he always thought that the other party looked at him with explicable kindness…
As if looking at a future son-in-law?
Uh, what a weird association.
Xia Qianqian’s eyes kept going back and forth between the two of them, and then she slowly showed a weird smile. An Youxi was interrupted by her laughter, “What do you want from me?”
“Oh yes, I just came here to see how your photos are doing. If it’s almost the same, I can take the camera back directly, so that you don’t have to come here tomorrow to return it to me. Let you be healthy, You took some photos. What-”
The voice suddenly stopped.
With a glance, it was all Ran Ningmu.
Xia Qianqian, “…”
Xia Qianqian raised her head slightly, “You, I should’ve thought of it earlier.”
An Youxi felt guilty and his voice was much weaker, “I have taken other photos, look inside, carefully to see if you have enough…”
Xia Qianqian, “…”
Xia Qianqian flipped through it quickly and put away the camera, “Not enough, although there are not many photos, you are good at technology so you don’t need to use filter and just use them directly.”
Ran Ningmu was surprised, “Didn’t he take a lot? How could it not be enough?”
An Youxi panicked, waved his hand in the air and said, “Enough is not enough, don’t listen to her, she talks nonsense…”
“Yes, its really not enough and we still need a group photo,” Xia Qianqian angrily pushed An Youxi into Ran Ningmu;s arms and urged like a duck, “Stand over there, I’ll take some street photos for you.”
“Senior, stand still.” Ran Ningmu supported An Youxi’s shoulders and with his eyes looking down, he said in his 9AYX ear.
“… Thank you.” An Youxi quickly looked away as if he had been burned, feeling that his shoulders were numb and asked Xia Qianqian in a dizzy voice, “You, don’t you just want to welcome the new student? Is this event very grand? What are we doing?”
With a click, Xia Qianqian caught the moment when the two looked at each other and quickly took the first beautiful photo, without raising her head, “Of course, it is CP hyping!”
An Youxi was dizzy, “What are you talking about?”
Were they from the university or the entertainment industry?
Xia Qianqian glanced at An Youxi with eyes of ‘why are you not being a good minister at all?’
“Clicks, pageviews, reposts, these are all performance, okay? The better the performance, the better the money. Higher the expenses for half a year!”
An Youxi understood that Xia Qianqian wanted to sell his and Ran Ningmu’s beauty to attract traffic.
An Youxi definitely supports that!
At that time, when it will be on the campus news, wasn’t it equivalent to showing affection in front of the teachers and students of the whole school?
“Then, what do I do?” An Youxi was eager to try.
Xia Qianqian waved her hand and said, “They say they want photos from the street of the event, so you can do whatever you want, please ignore my existence and do what you should do. I will help you find the perfect frame in the lens myself.”
“Okay.” He thought about how to model for it and suddenly felt a little lost.
Ran Ningmu suddenly interrupted, “Excuse me, I’ll go and fill out the form of the Skateboarding club first.”
He looked at An Youxi and said, “Senior, wait for me and I’ll be right back.”
“Okay, then go quickly.”
Ran Ningmu nodded and squeezed himself into the crowd.
After Ran Ningmu left, Xia Qianqian came over sneakily and nudged An Youxi with her elbow. She asked sneakily, “Hey? How are you two progressing?”
“What progress?” An Youxi said.
He wept as he said, “He was in military training before and the only communication we had every day was having breakfast, lunch and dinner together and to get the courier together, that’s all.”
“Eating is a major event for the people of Huaguo. It’s for enjoyment. You definitely won’t eat with someone you don’t like. Besides, I think you both get along well. The way Ran Ningmu looks at you is obviously pretty interesting!”
“Really?”
“You don’t believe me? Come here and see this beautiful stare!”
An Youxi looked down suspiciously and was slightly taken aback.
It turns out that this was how he looked like in Ran Ningmu’s eyes, it was too shameful…
An Youxi immediately blushed because of his newlywed appearance.
Xia Qianqian was still arguing, “Look at the atmosphere surrounding you both, the look in your eyes, tsk tsk, you are just a step away from being a couple, okay?”
“I hope…” How could An Youxi see anything? In his eyes, he thought that Xia Qianqian was comforting him.
But he never thought if a person’s eyes were full of joy when he sees you for the first time, and you had never seen the other person with other expressions, how can you judge that you are special in his eyes?
Because there was no comparison at all. meaning, there was no other expression to compare to. 10The author is trying to say that AYX has only seen RNM in a happy mood i.e., even when RNM looked at AYX specially, AYX never knew it was different because whenever RNM looked at him it was the ‘special person’ look and AYX thought that’s how RNM’s normal expression looked like.
The author has something to say:
He likes you, do you know that?
Happy Belated Valentines Day, you all! Hope it was not boring. Atleast for me it was like every normal day.
My update schedule is messed up because of college again, I’ll try to updates as soon as I can. Thank you for reading ? Have a great day ahead!
