Chapter 115: Extras (2)

He Shen accepted the chocolates. He accepted chocolates from someone else! On Valentine’s Day!

Qiao Shao was so angry that he almost flung the practice sheets!

He was fuming as he turned around and walked a lap around the floor before returning to the classroom. As soon as he entered the room, he saw He Shen, chin in hand, covering a yawn.

Qiao Shao stiffly looked away and distributed the exercise sheets.

When he reached his own desk, He Shen looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Shao pulled the corners of his mouth and set sheet after sheet on the table. You even have the nerve to ask what’s wrong! You’re not even guilty about the wrong that you’ve done!

In the seat behind them, Song Yixu blinked and said to his seatmate, “The husbands are arguing?” Ever since he found out that the two guys in the seat in front were actually boyfriends, he no longer dared to act so arrogant. What ‘gaoji’ or not ‘gaoji’? They can ‘gao’ whatever ‘ji’ they want!

His seatmate was puzzled as well. “It looks like the young master is one-sidedly angry.” After knowing Qiao Shao’s background, Qiao Shao gained a new nickname.

The cogs in Song Yixu’s head began to turn and he said: “Today’s Valentine’s Day, Shen Ge couldn’t have …”

His seatmate said, “Qiao Shao wouldn’t be angry because of gifts.” Who exactly was Qiao Shao’s family? Was there anything that Qiao Shao could ever seriously want?

But Song Yixu was actually pretty clever. “I meant, Shen Ge couldn’t have accepted some girls’ confession chocolate, right!”

His seatmate was an astute person but at this moment he was completely outdone by the silly husky beside him. “How could that be possible?”

Does He Shen lack chocolates?

He really does!

Although Qiao Shao didn’t hear the whispered conversation of the two, their brain waves have synchronized.

He finished distributing the exercise sheets just in time for the bell to ring.

Qiao Shao returned to his seat. He Shen wanted to hold his hand but Qiao Shao held the pen in one hand and pressed his other hand against the exercise sheet, giving him absolutely no chance to do so.

At this time, the English teacher entered the classroom, and after a few words, began the formal class.

Qiao Shao sat upright, his posture perfectly straight, and he listened very conscientiously.

Until the teacher called him and asked a question, the dignified class representative, Qiao Shao Shao Tongxue went: “?” He had no idea what the teacher asked!

He Shen whispered to remind him. Qiao Shao returned to his senses and quickly answered.

The teacher didn’t find anything strange at all. How could she have ever imagined that her beloved student wasn’t listening to class at all and was instead brewing vinegar in his heart?

He Shen took advantage of the class reading aloud to ask, “What happened?”

Qiao Shao didn’t want to pay him any attention. “Nothing.”

He Shen leaned over. “Why are you absent-minded?”

When Qiao Shao thought of the chocolates he had accepted, his heart, liver, and lungs were all set on fire: Accept, accept, accept! Don’t you have enough chocolates at home!

Class Representative Qiao Shao read the text aloud and didn’t give his seatmate any opportunity to speak.

He Shen: “&#k2026;” He had absolutely no idea what could have provoked the child.

After two whole classes, by the time mid-morning exercises came around, Qiao Shao couldn’t endure it any longer. He had to ask He Shen why he accepted those chocolate. Just what kind of chocolate were those that tempted him!

Just as he was about to speak, a freshman girl stood in front of them.

Qiao Shao: “…”

He Shen looked at Qiao Shao lightning quick, his heart tightened.

The girl’s face was almost completely flushed. Her outstretched hand was trembling. She was so nervous that she almost couldn’t hold the little box of chocolates. “Thi-this …”

She was obviously turned towards He Shen. Qiao Shao’s heart was so filled with acid, it was practically leaking out. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. He missed the first time, now he almost missed the second one!

He Shen though unexpectedly asked, “Is it for me?”

The girl blushed even harder when she heard his voice. Her voice was as little as a fly. “Ye-yes.”

He Shen bluntly refused. “I have someone I like and I can’t accept your chocolates.”

The girl was startled, and then said repeatedly, “I’m sorry … I’m sorry!” And then she bolted away.

He Shen hadn’t even looked at the girl, only staring at Qiao Shao beside him.

Qiao Shao was expressionless as he strode towards the stairs.

He was even angrier, the fire was roaring in his heart. He had intended to ask but now he couldn’t even get out a word!

What is the meaning of this? You won’t accept chocolates from anyone else? Just from that girl?

Or does he only accept them when he’s not around? When he’s around, he won’t accept any?

Qiao Shao was very angry as he let his brain indulge in flights of fancy.

Even worse, this was just the beginning.

He Shen hid in the classroom for the first two classes. The girls in Class One had already long given up on him. No one would dare provoke him. The students in the neighboring classes also knew the score and wouldn’t waste their efforts to come over only to be rebuffed. But they couldn’t fend off the freshmen — these newborn calves who didn’t know better to be afraid of tigers!

The freshman girls didn’t dare break into the classroom of their seniors, but there was a wonderful opportunity that they could seize — the mid-morning exercises.

He Shen never used to exercise before. But now, in order to accompany Qiao Shao to build his physique, he attended the mid-morning exercises every day, right on time. Before, he had scared Old Tang into asking him if he was too bored in the classroom and should he change his seat into a window-side seat …

In the three or five minutes it took to get from the school building to the field, He Shen was stopped four times.

By the fifth time, Qiao Shao didn’t wait for him anymore. Without waiting for the girl to speak, he strode away.

In just a few steps, He Shen caught up and asked, “Are you angry?”

Qiao Shao: “Har har.”

He Shen said, “In a bit, let’s ask for leave …”

Qiao Shao didn’t want to go with him. “No, I’m going to class.”

He Shen softly coaxed him. “Then I won’t leave the classroom, and I won’t go out for lunch. That way, no one …”

Qiao Shao said, “What do I care!”

He Shen didn’t want him to be angry, “If I weren’t afraid of it causing absolute chaos, I would have long told everyone that we’re together.”

Qiao Shao gave him another ‘har har’.

He Shen continued, “Don’t be angry, I would never accept their chocolates.” He has been expecting the result of Qiao Shao’s efforts from last night since this morning. He was thinking about it to the point of distraction. But the child hasn’t given him any chocolates.

It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything. As soon as he said it, Qiao Shao exploded. It didn’t matter if they were on the field, he said right to his face. “You already accepted it!”

He Shen couldn’t react.

Saying so, Qiao Shao felt both like he’d lost face and that he’d been wronged. With large steps, he went to take his place in the line.

He Shen grabbed his wrist. “You …”

Qiao Shao raised his eyebrow and said, “Old Tang is watching us.”

How could He Shen still care about the mid-morning exercises? He pulled Qiao Shao out of the line.

Tang Yu asked, “What’s wrong?”

He Shen said, “Qiao Shao is feeling a little unwell. I’ll take him to the infirmary.”

Tang Yu looked at Qiao Shao and found that he was indeed not looking too well, his face was pale. “Are you coming down with a cold? Go quickly, and call me if something’s the matter.”

He Shen nodded and took Qiao Shao away.

Qiao Shao waited until there was no one around and then forcibly took back his hand.

He Shen looked down at him and said, a helpless tone in his voice, “Was it at the stairs this morning?”

Qiao Shao snorted and turned his head away.

He Shen held his hand and said, “You’ve been angry at me all morning because of this?”

Qiao Shao turned back to glare at him. “Should I not be angry!”

He Shen’s eyes were overflowing with a smiling expression. This made Qiao Shao even angrier. “Are the chocolates at home not delicious? Isn’t there enough? Do we not let you eat them that you still have to accept chocolates from someone else!”

He Shen was still smiling. “I confiscated those.”

Qiao Shao was so angry that he wanted to bite him. “I saw it all!”

He Shen sighed. “Those were for you.”

Qiao Shao froze.

He Shen rubbed the back of his slightly cool hand and said, voice dripping with vinegar, “That girl came over to look for you. Because you weren’t there, she asked me to pass on the chocolates to you. There was even a pink letter in it.”

Qiao Shao never expected this to be the case and was dazed.

He Shen raised his eyelids to look at him and continued to eat vinegar. “Those weren’t for me and I had no qualifications to refuse for you.” They couldn’t make their relationship public and so they didn’t have any identity nor any standing.

Qiao Shao opened his mouth and finally found his voice. “They…they were for me?”

There was a warning in He Shen’s voice, “What? You aren’t thinking of accepting them, are you?”

Qiao Shao said, “Of course not!”

He Shen said, “Good, I already threw them out for you.”

Qiao Shao: “???

He Shen raised an eyebrow. “Are you really thinking of accepting them?”

Qiao Shao said, “You can’t just throw it away. Those were someone’s kind regards, I…”

This acid gas emitting from He Shen could corrode the atmosphere.

Qiao Shao still had to finish his words: “I have to return them to her and make things clear.”

He Shen stressed the essentials. “You want to see her.”

Qiao Shao: “………………”

He Shen said, “You are not allowed to see her.”

Qiao Shao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I won’t …”

“No,” He Shen hugged him. “I won’t tell you who she is.”

Qiao Shao wanted to say something but suddenly stopped.

His lips bent into a little smile, and he whispered. “En, I won’t see her.”

He Shen let go of him and stared at him.

Qiao Shao said, “I don’t want you to see the people who gave you chocolates either.”

He Shen’s heart trembled.

Qiao Shao said, “Let’s both ask for leave from school on future Valentine’s Days. Until we can make our relationship public, we’ll hide at home and celebrate Valentine’s Day with only the two of us.”

He Shen agreed with a smile on his face. “Okay.”

He hung his head and kissed him, tasting the sweetest chocolate.

The author has something to say: Da Qiao had on a somber expression: I’m waiting for you two at home.
