OEBSAS |Chapter 21

Shao Xian came out of the bathroom and saw that Chen Baizhou was still standing in front of the desk. He did not think much of it and asked casually, “Why are you still not going to sleep?”

“Mm, I’ll go right away.”

Chen Baizhou slightly parted his lips, but in the end he still did not say anything about the love letter.

At eleven or twelve years old, boys and girls were always full of longing for love and romance. Those green, awkward ambiguities, after years of settling, would eventually transform into the most unforgettable fruit.

Chen Baizhou returned to his room. After washing up, he lay on the bed, but no matter what, he could not fall asleep.

His mind was full of that pink love letter.

He did not know what was wrong with him. It was only a love letter, after all. Shao Xian was so outstanding, and there were so many girls who liked him. Receiving a love letter was normal, and he should have felt happy for him.

But why did he feel so blocked up inside? It was as if he could not breathe.

Chen Baizhou tossed and turned without being able to sleep, and Shao Xian’s side was no quieter either.

He dreamed of Fu Baizhou again.

He had drunk a little too much at the banquet, and the assistant did not know where he had run off to, so he had no choice but to lean quietly against the wall.

After a while, the sound of leather shoes striking the floor reached his ears. In a half-dazed, half-awake state, Shao Xian saw the face of the person who had come.

Handsome, cold, his eyes shimmering with a faint blue light, and that tiny teardrop mole made the face look much more vivid.

“President Fu, what a coincidence.” Shao Xian leaned against the wall, smiling with his eyes but not with his mouth.

Fu Baizhou was as cold as a robot, his expression not changing in the slightest. “What a coincidence.”

It was really infuriating.

There had never been anyone who could make him feel this powerless.

Shao Xian suddenly grew bold from desperation. Seeing that no one was around, he swiftly reached out and grabbed the man’s wrist, yanking him toward himself.

The two were very close, their breathing almost mingling.

Shao Xian clearly felt the wrist in his hand trembling slightly, as if it hated being touched by other people.

“President Fu really does have a cleanliness obsession and doesn’t like being touched by others,” Shao Xian said, his eyelashes lifting slightly, his gaze hazy yet somewhat alluring. “Someone like you, have you never even kissed anyone?”

Fu Baizhou tried hard to suppress the trembling in his wrist and looked at him quietly. “You have?”

“What do you think?” Shao Xian lowered his eyes and slowly leaned closer to him, a curve tugging at the corner of his lips.

Even if he did not, he had to say he did! You can lose the battle, but not the momentum.

Fu Baizhou remained expressionless and let him approach, until the two of them’ noses touched and their lips were only a hair’s breadth apart.

“President Shao!” the assistant’s startled cry came from not far away.

Shao Xian suddenly opened his eyes, his chest trembling violently, his breathing slightly rapid.

Outside the window was pitch-black. He lay on the bed silently for a long time, then reached out and slapped his own forehead.

Had he really seduced Fu Baizhou like that in his previous life?

After the assistant’s voice woke him just now, he had even felt a little annoyed that he had not kissed him. Now that he was awake, he only felt his face burning.

What exactly was he thinking!

The next morning, Shao Xian and Chen Baizhou got up on time.

Aunt Sun was only leaving in the morning, so she prepared breakfast.

She clearly noticed that Second Young Master and Young Master Zhou were a little different today. When they ate breakfast together before, the two of them would still occasionally discuss problems, but today neither of them said a word.

Actually, Shao Xian was not not talking. It was just that after having that dream last night, he did not know how to face Chen Baizhou.

He could still accept flirting with the grown-up President Fu, but right now Chen Baizhou was only eleven years old, still a child, so forgive him for not being able to turn the corner all at once.

After all, the heart that had been pounding wildly last night was not fake.

As for Chen Baizhou, because he had not told Shao Xian about the love letter, he felt somewhat guilty in his heart. And because of his own actions, he also developed self-loathing, feeling that he had truly let down Shao Xian’s trust.

He was not qualified to talk to Shao Xian.

The two of them had different thoughts, and both only lowered their heads to drink porridge and eat pastries.

On the way to school, seeing that both of his little buddies were silent, Qian Wenjie could not help but howl, “Why are you both not talking? So boring.”

It was one thing for Chen Baizhou not to talk, but why was even Shao Xian so quiet? Could it be that the two of them had fought?

That would be bad.

Qian Wenjie carefully looked at the expressions of the two of them. His thick brows knitted, and he could not help but sigh. “Xianxian, Baizhou, did you two really fight?”

Weren’t they fine yesterday?

“No fight.”

“No.”

The two of them spoke in unison. As soon as the words fell, they could not help but look at each other.

Facing Chen Baizhou’s eyes, Shao Xian was momentarily stunned in his heart, and then he felt relieved. The child’s eyes were too pure, completely different from Fu Baizhou in his previous life. He secretly blamed himself, then smiled at the child.

When Chen Baizhou saw him smile, he also curved his lips and smiled.

Seeing this, Qian Wenjie admired himself even more. If it had not been for him, who knew how long these two would have kept being awkward.

“Right, Xianxian, there’s a love letter in your backpack. Did you see it when you got back last night?” Qian Wenjie smiled in a very mischievous way.

Chen Baizhou suddenly looked at him.

Shao Xian looked puzzled. “What love letter? Why don’t I know about it?”

“We went to the toilet together yesterday, and after we came back I heard it from my deskmate. He didn’t say who it was from.”

Qian Wenjie snickered a few times. “You really didn’t see it?”

Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, Shao Xian had no choice but to open his backpack and look for the love letter. After searching for a long time, he finally found it in the small outer pocket.

A pink envelope, representing a young girl’s sweet feelings.

Chen Baizhou’s face was expressionless, and the hand gripping his backpack gradually tightened.

“Why don’t you open it and have a look?” Qian Wenjie asked in confusion when he saw that Shao Xian only looked at the envelope and then stuffed it back into his bag.

Shao Xian said absentmindedly, “What’s there to look at?”

He was already thirty years old, and he had no interest at all in these little radishes who were only eleven or twelve.

Chen Baizhou let out a slight breath of relief, but then felt that this kind of emotion of his was very strange.

Qian Wenjie could not help but give a thumbs-up. “So calm.”

“Kids should just study hard. What’s the point of talking about romance?” Shao Xian advised him in the tone of someone who had been there. “No dating before college, got it?”

Qian Wenjie did not have that kind of thought either. Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly.

Shao Xian looked at Chen Baizhou again, and Chen Baizhou immediately stated his attitude: “I won’t.”

He only wanted to stay with Shao Xian. As for the others, he could not even remember their faces.

Seeing that both of them were taking his advice, Shao Xian felt quite gratified.

A few days later, the opening ceremony of the thirty-sixth sports meet of Ninth Middle School began.

During the opening ceremony, every class was uniformly dressed and passed the rostrum in order, led by one person holding the class placard.

The leader of First Class in the first year was Hao Lu.

She had a clean, pretty appearance and a tall figure, and she was also the study committee member, so the classmates of the class unanimously chose her to be the leader.

Hao Lu was indeed not stage-shy, leading First Class as they marched past the rostrum with great vigor.

Standing at the back of the lineup, Shao Xian could still hear boys in front discussing Hao Lu.

Some said she was beautiful, some said her grades were good, and some said she was arrogant, relying on her good grades to ignore people.

How boring.

Qian Wenjie walked beside Shao Xian and naturally also heard the discussion of the few people. He could not help but raise his voice a little at Shao Xian and say, “Some people don’t look that great and their grades are a total mess, yet they still comment on others behind their backs. So funny.”

The few people in front immediately fell silent, both angry and embarrassed.

Shao Xian smiled and replied, “You’ve got an event today. Perform well and do your best to bring honor to the class.”

“Xianxian, you too.”

After the opening ceremony ended, the competition officially began.

The field events and track events were separate. Qian Wenjie had a shot put competition in the morning, and Shao Xian and Chen Baizhou did not go join the excitement. Instead, they found a shady spot, took out the third-year middle school exam papers, and started doing them.

Both of them were very fast. Shao Xian secretly started competing with Chen Baizhou, and it seemed that he had found once again that heartily satisfying feeling he had when facing Fu Baizhou in his previous life.

Very爽, very刺激.

The two of them were immersed in the questions and did not notice that someone was standing behind them.

It was not until they had both almost finished at the same time that the person behind them spoke up and asked, “Are you guys planning to skip a grade again?”

Shao Xian turned his head and saw Hao Lu’s gaze fixed on their papers.

“Yes, want to join us?” Shao Xian replied frankly.

Hao Lu nodded seriously. “I’m considering that too, but I’m not learning as fast as you two. I just finished learning the second-year middle school material.”

Shao Xian felt admiration rise naturally in his heart. A female top student!

“No rush, there’s still one year left in first year.” Shao Xian comforted her.

Hao Lu suddenly laughed. “Other people say you’re hard to approach, but actually you’re not.” As she spoke, she looked at Chen Baizhou. “Classmate Chen Baizhou is pretty much the same as the rumors.”

“He just doesn’t like to talk.” Shao Xian felt that Hao Lu was not as arrogant as other people said either.

She was just putting all her energy into studying, so how could she have the time to think about other things?

Hao Lu sat down beside the two of them very openly and suddenly asked Shao Xian, “Did you read the letter I wrote to you?”

Shao Xian: “…”

What?!
