The day of Yu Cheng’s Basketball Championship Cup was nearing.
Class Three’s representatives were as follows: Gou Liang, Shi Yu, Zhan Yongzhe, Chen LiBai, the Sports Committee member, and substitute player Student Jia.
Practice sessions were held on the two PE classes every week and the four Sundays before the tournament.
Li LinLing and Zhang Xiao voluntarily took on the logistics work. They also enthusiastically proposed making an appointment this Saturday for a meal together to wish for victory and to cultivate connections between teammates. While saying this, the two of them tacitly looked at Gou Liang with burning eyes. The rest of the group, who understood their intentions, also stared at the big chef. Unfortunately, Gou Liang and Shi Yu very unamiably declined.
——#Beautiful moments of youth, I only want to share it with him#
Gou Liang: I’m going to make it big this Saturday, delicious soul force, wait for me, oh ≧▽≦ !
Anticipating, anticipating, the coming of Saturday, the footsteps of delicious food is coming closer.
Shi House.
Mother Shi: “This set of clothes is no good, it’s too formal. My good son, listen to your mom and nothing can go wrong. For the first dates, ma, you must let the other party feel comfortable. There’s no need to behave too differently from normal, otherwise the other party will feel nervous. Ah, this set is good, it looks youthful and casual, very fitting!”
Grandma Shi: “Aiyo, my good grandson is so handsome today! Your grandmother has lived for seventy years but has never seen someone as good-looking as you, ne. You must work hard today and bring the person home for grandma to see, ah!”
Father Shi: “Son, you must actively be considerate of the other, don’t just forget about the other person when you’re doing your own things. You must let the other feel your care towards them in every moment, do you understand?”
Grandpa Shi: “A man’s attractiveness lies in his self-control, good manners on the first date mean returning home on time.”
……
A wonderful day thus began.
When Shi Yu finished eating breakfast, he had just placed down his spoon when he received Gou Liang’s text message.
From: Little Fool: Let’s eat breakfast together? (づ￣3￣)づ
Shi Yu immediately replied: Ok, I’ll be there in 15 minutes.
After some thought, he added: (づ￣3￣)づ
Gou Liang spun his phone around on his fingers for a while before happily going to prepare breakfast.
The chauffeur drove Shi Yu to the gate outside of Gou Liang’s neighborhood and took out a bike from the car’s trunk. He said smilingly: “Young Master, you need to put a cushion on the backseat, otherwise it would feel uncomfortable sitting on it.” As the chauffeur said this, he took out a soft cushion from the car and helped attach it to the bike’s backseat—last night when he received the notice to bring the young master on his first date, he had already made ample preparation.
Shi Yu looked at the bike’s newly-added strawberry cushion and thought of a scene where Gou Liang would sit behind him and hold onto his waist… he smiled. When the chauffeur asked him when and where he should pick him up after the date, Shi Yu absentmindedly shook his head, expressing that he would head back himself.
Gou Liang held Shi Yu’s hand and led him into the apartment. He tiptoed and kissed Shi Yu once.
Shi Yu wanted to deepen the kiss but Gou Liang reluctantly stepped back and said unhappily: “Kiss me later. You’re too delicious, at this rate breakfast will be dregs in comparison.”
Shi Yu couldn’t help but smile.
Gou Liang asked him: “Want to eat together?”
Shi Yu: “Didn’t we agree to eat together, are you changing your mind?”
Gou Liang lifted his fingers and rubbed his stomach, he lifted his head and said: “Suddenly, I’m a bit reluctant, ne.”
He didn’t say whether he was reluctant to share his breakfast or if he was reluctant to stop teasing him but Shi Yu automatically inclined towards the latter. Smiling, he placed a kiss on Gou Liang’s left and right cheeks, right on top of the dimples that were fatally attractive to him.
After filling his stomach, Gou Liang who had already lost interest in the product of his excellent culinary skills eagerly helped himself to the sweet strawberry-flavored soul force. When he finally tore himself away, there was still an unsatisfied expression on his face as he hugged Shi Yu: “We should just spend the rest of the day like this, what do you think?”
Shi Yu: “Alright.”
Gou Liang smiled.
But for the sake of the favorability value that had remained stagnant at +80 for an entire week and the 10% mission progress bar that had not increased despite the lingering french kiss from yesterday, he still had to initiate the ‘first date’ scenario.
Shi Yu restlessly touched the bicycle key in his hand with anticipation.
But his plan could not keep up with the sudden change in situation. Before he could extend an invitation, Gou Liang pushed out a bike that was identical to his and walked towards him.
Shi Yu: “…”
Gou Liang pretended not to see the disappointment on his face, got on the bike and happily said: “Dear deskmate, let’s head out.”
Under the guidance from the Shi Family’s four ‘successful predecessors’, their first date was planned according to the most normal routine—the classics always had a certain charm that could not be surpassed. Anyone who had tried would know.
Their first destination was the amusement park.
They incessantly enjoyed ten rounds of roller coaster, ten rounds of pendulum ride, ten rounds of pirate boat, ten rounds of swing ride, and rounds of drop tower. Afterward, they got in line for the ferris wheel.
Gou Liang repeatedly looked back at the drop tower ride that was filled with ear-piercing screams and said to Shi Yu: “Let’s come and play again next time.”
If it weren’t for the fact that it was almost lunch time, he would’ve played for another ten rounds, ne!
Shi Yu looked at his excited appearance. Not to say ten rounds, even if Gou Liang wanted to play for another 100 rounds, he would accompany him to the end.
The ferris wheel slowly ascended into the air.
【System: Master, there is a popular saying in this world, that if you kiss your lover when the ferris wheel reaches the highest point, the both of you can stay together forever, oh.】
【Gou Liang: That’s not a bad idea!】
Just as he was about to get into position for a kiss, Shi Yu who had long already calculated the time and altitude of the ferris wheel leaned in and kissed him in the instant when the ferris wheel reached its peak.
Gou Liang smiled until his eyes curved. “Shi Yu, will we be together for a lifetime?”
Shi Yu softened his voice to the utmost extent and said: “Of course.”
【Ding, the target’s favorability value has been updated. Current favorability value: +81. 】
Gou Liang was irked by his stingy show of affection. He pinched Shi Yu’s face and decided to use ‘delicious food’ to soothe his delicate heart. When Gou Liang once again tasted Shi Yu’s strawberry-flavored soul force, he shockingly discovered that with the increase of just 1 favorability value, the flavor and texture of the positive soul force would be enhanced by a whole other level— Ao, Gou Liang was immediately excited!
It was only when the ferris wheel returned to the lowest point did Shi Yu release Gou Liang who impatiently still wanted more. Shi Yu smiled softly and said: “No need to be so impatient, no one’s going to steal from you.”
Gou Liang’s lips were red. He lifted the corner of his mouth and said in an overbearing manner: “Who wants to steal from me, I won’t let them.”
【Ding, the target’s favorability value has been updated. Current favorability value: +82.】
Gou Liang: Ao, ao, if I kiss him right now, would he taste even sweeter?
Unfortunately under public eyes, the extremely proper Scholar Shi wouldn’t fulfill his demand.
Their second destination was a restaurant with couple seats. Father and Mother Shi had spent the entire night to pick out this location.
Touching love songs, exquisite food, dewy-laden roses, a romantic atmosphere, Gou Liang wholeheartedly focused on eating his food while Shi Yu gazed attentively at him.
Gou Liang cut a piece of steak and sent it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he gave his evaluation: “The choice of ingredients are not bad. Unfortunately, the fire was turned on a bit too high while cooking the steak, missing out on the optimal texture. Next time I’ll make it for you to eat, you probably won’t recognize the steak you used to eat anymore, it only needs one bite to conquer your soul.”
Looking at him being proud with himself, Shi Yu smiled and said: “Then I’ll look forward to it.”
Gou Liang ushered him: “Then quickly eat, ba. Even if it’s not the best, you will face Heaven’s wrath if you waste food, don’t you know?”
Shi Yu made an ‘oh’ sound but his eyes were still fixed on Gou Liang.
Gou Liang looked back and forth, left and right, and saw the lovers around them intimately feeding each other, drinking from the same cup while whispering into each other’s ears. He gave Shi Yu a ‘what am I going to do with you’ expression and picked up a pre-cut square of steak with his fork. He brought it in front of Shi Yu and said smilingly: “Quickly eat, ba.”
Shi Yu’s eyes instantly brightened.
At the same time the piece of beef entered his mouth, the System happily notified ↓
【Ding, the target’s favorability value has been updated. Current favorability value: +83. 】
Gou Liang: Ao ao ao, I really want to drag him into a back alley! I must endure.gif
Their third destination was the city library.
This was a date activity chosen by Grandpa Shi despite all the oppositions against it—doing homework.
Unfortunately, they were two scholars who never seriously paid attention in class and never submitted homework. They were unable to comprehend the appeal behind the legendary ‘Homework Date Strategy’.
However, that was not important. The highly talented Scholar Shi thought of a new dating activity.
At this moment, placed on the table was Gou Liang’s favorite recipe book. Right now, Gou Liang was quietly discussing with Shi Yu the feasibility of the recipes inside and where they might be lacking.
Since this topic involved his area of ‘expertise’, Gou Liang talked incessantly with fluent ease. Shi Yu also didn’t just blindly agree with him. He would present his own doubts and would occasionally use his knowledge of biology and medicine to suggest new and insightful ideas to Gou Liang. Or, he would perfectly reveal a ‘you’re so amazing, I want to have a taste’ expression at the right moment to lure Gou Liang into talking sentence after sentence. As a result, the more Gou Liang talked, the more excited he became.
Shi Yu who had been scheming to hook the little boy ingeniously reminded Gou Liang to lower his voice a little. In order to safeguard the quiet study environment, he very considerately leaned closer to Gou Liang by a little, then a little bit more…
Fourth destination was the movie theater.
After finishing a scrumptious dinner, Gou Liang and Shi Yu went ahead and got their tickets for the movie. Of course, they didn’t forget—an extra large popcorn and refreshing coke are a must-have when watching movies.
The clever Shi Yu didn’t blindly trust his parents and grandparents’ advice. Instead of directly choosing the classic romance love movie as they had advised, he instead consulted with Gou Liang first. Last night the two of them looked up some movies that were currently trending, and sure enough, Gou Liang chose a movie with over 9.0 rating. It was a 3D horror movie said to be scary enough to make you run home while crying for your mom.
Sitting down, Gou Liang leaned in against Shi Yu, who had cleverly raised up the armrest between their seats. Gou Liang whispered into Shi Yu’s ears: “Later if you get scared, I will hug you tight.”
Shi Yu replied: “I want to hug you right now.”
Gou Liang ‘hehe’ and laughed.
The lights were dimmed as the movie started.
The first thing to appear on the screen was the sound of a ticking clock. As the main character pushed open the door, rays of sunlight were let in. The female lead that was relaxing in the bathtub turned her head around—she suddenly screamed! The face of the male lead, who was standing by the door, was extremely sinister and bloody. He revealed a frightening smile. He didn’t move any closer to the female lead, but a formless pair of demonic arms continuously pushed the woman into the bathtub that was filled with bubbles. Alarmed and filled with the desire for survival, she began to struggle desperately…
“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”
The audience was frightened by the opening, they subconsciously hugged their arms tighter or seized the hands of their companions beside them.
The scene changed, there was the sound of the door opening again. The female lead turned her head around—she revealed a sweet smile.
“Husband, you’re back.”
The handsome male lead raised the corner of his mouth and gently swirled the glass of red wine in his hand. He revealed a gentlemanly smile. However, his line of vision wasn’t on the female lead’s face. His eyes fell on the mirror behind her that has been fogged by a layer of watery steam instead.
In the mirror, the same two people were reflected in the same spot, but the image of the female lead being drowned to death in the tub continued. As the female lead’s struggle weakened and she began to gradually sink into the water, the malevolent male lead walked towards her. Meanwhile, outside of the mirror, the elegant male lead performed the same action. He walked towards the female lead who was smiling even more sweetly. In his hand, the glass of wine—the scarlet red wine—swayed back and forth, the bright red color becoming more and more intense until it resembled blood.
The movie screen turned black.
The words 【Person Inside the Mirror】 appeared before everyone’s eyes, the audience who had been holding their breaths finally exhaled.
“That was so scary…”
“Ah, ah, I’m a little too afraid to watch on.”
“Dear, don’t let go of me later, ah…”
The talking voices of the audience fell on Gou Liang’s ears, he leaned in towards Shi Yu whose arms were plastered against his and said in a low voice: “My Dear, should I lend you my hand?”
Shi Yu answered: “Can you pretend to be a little afraid to satisfy your boyfriend’s ego?
“Dream on.”
As Gou Liang said this, he fished out a piece of popcorn from the popcorn bucket in his arms and shoved it into Shi Yu’s mouth.
In the dim lighting of the theater, Shi Yu saw that Gou Liang was smiling and didn’t seem to mind sharing his food at all. Rather, it was as if feeding him was a trivial and subconscious action—Gou Liang was protective of his food, but Shi Yu appeared to have been placed on the list of people whom food could be shared with. This acknowledgment made Shi Yu’s heart feel sweet with joy.
【Ding, the target’s favorability value has been updated. Current favorability value: +84. 】
Gou Liang suddenly turned his head to look at him. He swallowed and said: “Deskmate, do you still want to eat?”
Shi Yu: “Are you willing to give?”
Gou Liang fed him a second popcorn in place of his answer. He leaned closer towards Shi Yu, licked his lips and said: “My Dear, I can’t hold back anymore.”
“Hm?”
Gou Liang didn’t say anything more, he delved into his mouth and fought for food—
The sea of consciousness was filled with 【Q﹏Q】【T﹏T】【Q△Q】【T△T】…, the System trembled pitifully.
【System: M-master? What is wrong! 】
【Gou Liang: I should’ve done this sooner! Yummy, yummy, yummy! I actually missed out on this deliciousness for the last couple hours, my heart hurts! 】
【System: …You continue.】
In the end, it was unknown who ended up eating that piece of popcorn. Feeling Gou Liang impatiently seeking for food, Shi Yu continued to kiss him while smiling. He lifted his hand and plucked a piece of popcorn from Gou Liang’s arms. Placing it into his mouth, he lowered his head and fed it to Gou Liang.
Gou Liang’s eyes lit up in a split second.
#Discovery on a new way of eating, mother never has to worry about me not eating well ever again! (o* =?=)o!#
After a bucket of popcorn was shared between them, they laid in each other’s arms while panting lightly. In the theater that was filled with terrified screams, it was vague yet distinct. Shi Yu’s arm embraced Gou Liang, his palm pressing down hard against the back of his chair. Concealed in Shi Yu’s eyes was a fiercer and more profound desire. However, the upbringing that he had received the last ten years made him preserve his self-control and refrain from doing more intimate actions. His knuckles became taut as he tried to restrain himself.
Gou Liang sensed that Shi Yu was holding back, he smiled first before speaking.
He said: “My Dear, what do you want to do to me, ne?”
Shi Yu roughly kissed his dimples that were brimming with laughter, refusing to answer.
Gou Liang teased him by saying that he was a coward, suggestively adding: “If you don’t try, how do you know that I’ll refuse, ne?”
Shi Yu: “…”
He pursed his lips, running amok in his eyes was lust that he was about to lose control over.
Gou Liang still felt that Shi Yu still hadn’t been stimulated enough, he stood up and placed Shi Yu’s hands onto his thighs. He looked provokingly at him as if asking: Do you dare to?
Shi Yu’s breathing became even rougher, he sank into a struggle of rationality and sensuality. After a while, he lifted his arms in surrender to Gou Liang. Using his palm, he rubbed against Gou Liang’s thighs. He even wanted to explore toward an even more intimate area—
“Hiss.”
The cold coke drink brushed against his face, causing Shi Yu to regain himself in an instant.
The perpetrator Gou Liang watched as he stiffly stopped his actions, his entire body rigid. Gou Liang’s mischievous smile grew even bigger, full of arrogance he said: “Why are you not continuing, my dear boyfriend?”
Shi Yu breathed in deeply and retracted his hand that wanted to commit evil. Gnashing his teeth he said: “Deskmate, I forgot to tell you, my memory is also very good, ne.”
Continue to tease ba, continue your action ba, one of these days—I will fuck you until you cry.
【Ding, the target’s favorability value has been upgraded. Current favorability value: +85. 】
【Gou Liang: I want to eat again but my jaw is sore… Q^Q. 】
【System: Ding, current mission progress bar: 10%. Eat what, ah, Master? Do you still want your points, ma!? 】
【Gou Liang: …tch.】
When sending Gou Liang home, the pink and delicate first time lovers dawdled outside the door, reluctant to part. In the end, Gou Liang’s wish was still fulfilled. The flavor of +85 favorability value, ah! Even if his lips were swollen tomorrow, it would be worth it!
Shi Yu stroked Gou Liang’s flushed cheeks, lowered his head and asked: “Happy today?”
Gou Liang nodded his head and nodded again.
Shi Yu placed a kiss on his forehead, smiled and said: “Next Saturday, I’ll come over and help you cook?”
Gou Liang thought this idea was extremely good—he didn’t have to mind the public’s eyes, he could eat whenever he wanted to eat, he couldn’t agree with this idea more!
Shi Yu talked on and off, the words ‘goodbye’ were spun around on his tongue for a while but in the end he couldn’t say it. Gou Liang raised his head and touched his lips. He said: “Hurry up and go, la, see you tomorrow.”
Shi Yu: “…Alright.”
But when he turned to leave, Gou Liang dragged him back again.
Two deep dimples entered his vision, Gou Liang smiled and said: “Tomorrow, let’s eat breakfast together?”
Shi Yu happily assented.
Monday.
Year Two Class Three.
Li LinLing restlessly looked at the pair of scholars who were leisurely sharing breakfast while casually exuding an oppressive force over the entire class. She asked in an upset tone: “Ah Cheng, you came to school together with Scholar Shi today?”
During the end of basketball practice yesterday, when Gou Liang only called Shi Yu along for dinner as they rode their bikes away, Shi Yu had already garnered a lot of hatred. At this moment, once again seeing Shi Yu eating the same sumptuous and delicious breakfast as Gou Liang, Lin LinLing was peeved enough to scratch out her heart and lungs: Scholar Shi, don’t leave after school!!
Gou Liang lifted his head and smiled, “Stop looking, ba. This is exclusive treatment.”
Li LinLing: “Why?”
Gou Liang: “He can let me eat the most delicious food in this world; you can’t.”
Li LinLing: “What is it? How do you know that I can’t?”
Gou Liang didn’t reply. Shi Yu who rarely ever participated in their brainless conversations lifted his head, smiled faintly at the school flower and said: “Do you want to know?”
Li LinLing smiled stiffly and cleverly turned her head back around: “…No. QAQ.”
Gou Liang laughed out loud.
The morning literature class started. Unexpectedly, the homeroom teacher brought in a female student—the moment she stepped into the room, Gou Liang clearly felt the kidneys of the male students explode with hormones.
They heard the homeroom teacher say: “Student He Lin used to attend the top highschool in our city, but starting from today, she will be a member of our Class Three family. Everyone, please welcome her.”
He Lin pushed a strand of stray hair behind her ear and bashfully said: “I’m He Lin. This is my first time meeting everyone. Please take care of me.”
She had barely finished speaking when the male students excitedly applauded until their hands turned red.
【System: Ding, Master, the target’s rejection towards this person is very strong. 】
【Gou Liang: …He doesn’t even like a well-endowed sister like her. As expected, only a meng man like myself can conquer him. [Arrogant face] 】
【System: (￣▽￣”) 】
The line of sight of the beautiful new student fell on the corner of the classroom. She walked towards it, her face was slightly red as she spoke to Gou Liang: “This classmate, can you please switch seats with me?” Although she was speaking to Gou Liang, her eyes never left Shi Yu’s face as she said this.
Gou Liang raised his brow. The new student’s intention towards Scholar Shi was so obvious, the floor was already covered with the shattered pieces of the male students’ hearts.
He smiled, revealing his faint dimples. He wrapped his arm around Shi Yu and poked his face, saying: “Dear deskmate, what do you think?”
Shi Yu lifted his head from his book, set his book down and took out a lunch box from his school bag. He opened the lid and gave it to Gou Liang, a gentle smile on his face as he said: “Grandma made this especially for you.”
In it was fresh milk that had been fried to a golden-brown hue, the aroma of milk was delightfully strong, making Gou Liang momentarily forget to attack his hateful love rival.
There was a smile on Shi Yu’s face as he watched Gou Liang eat while praising the food.
He Lin, who was coldly ignored, never received even a glance from Shi Yu throughout this entire scene. Her smile became stiff on her beautiful face.
