Chapter 41: CH 41

We have to help them cover the dressing room door!

Song Yan paused for a moment, then asked: “You already knew?”

“Yeah, I already knew.”

Xia Zhiye replied automatically.

For a moment, Song Yan didn’t know what he should say to make himself not appear strange.

Actually, when he saw this scene, he didn’t reject it or feel uncomfortable at all, he only had a guilty conscience for no reason at all. It wasn’t because he had bumped into someone else’s secret, but because he had accidentally stumbled onto his own secret. But no matter how he pondered, he couldn’t make sense of this guilty conscience at all.

What was there to be guilty about.

As it turns out, Xia Zhiye had even lowered his head while earnestly staring at him, as if he was looking for something. And this made a thin layer of sweat unconsciously seep out onto the palm of his hand, as if he felt uneasy somewhere.

Fortunately, little fatty’s raucous voice provided a timely rescue: “Yan ge, Lord Xia, what are you guys doing! That’s the wrong direction! Over here!”

Only then did Song Yan suddenly regain his wits, and with a cold face, he pushed Xia Zhiye aside: “Move, it’s the middle of the day, don’t drag me around.”

“So I can do it at night?”

Xia Zhiye raised his eyebrows as he asked.

Song Yan: “……”

Really a logical genius.

He ruthlessly kicked Xia Zhiye aside, then quickly returned to the group. Meanwhile, Xia Zhiye carried a smile indicating he was in a good mood, as he unhurriedly walked over.

The girl from before was also standing amidst the group, and looked as if she had taken the initiative to suggest leading the way over. Yet her gaze always fell on Xia Zhiye, and when he walked over, she lowered her voice as she said: “Long time no see.”

Xia Zhiye nodded slightly to show the most basic courtesy, then hooked his arm around Song Yan’s neck, then brought him forward in the direction of the basketball hall.

The girl also wasn’t embarrassed, and just leisurely walked shoulder to shoulder with Kong Xiaoxiao.

But on the contrary, little fatty who walked behind them and saw this felt so embarrassed his scalp turned numb, and quietly asked Zhou Ziqiu: “That’s his fucking ex-girlfriend, right, she definitely is his ex-girlfriend. Other than when meeting your ex, I can’t think of any other situation that would be more awkward.”

Zhou Ziqiu simply tossed out two words: “She’s not.”

Little fatty asked: “Then what’s the situation?”

Zhou Ziqiu: “Don’t know.”

“?” Little fatty didn’t understand, “You don’t even know so how can you be so sure she isn’t?”

“Xia Zhiye said she isn’t so she isn’t.”

After Zhou Ziqiu finished speaking, he raised the volume of his music by three bars right in front of little fatty’s face, and it was extremely clear that he didn’t want to gossip.

Making little fatty feel both upset and at a complete loss.

Could it be that in the entire world, only he cared about this problem?

You guys all don’t gossip?

This feeling of being upset lasted only until they arrived at the basketball arena, and it was replaced by grief and indignation after seeing the gap between the two schools.

No.3 Middle High also had an arts and sports building, and the arts and sports building also had a basketball hall, but both the floor and the basketball racks have been around for a long time, not to mention this basketball hall had a constant temperature system, spacious dressing rooms, and 24-hour hot water showers.

“Today is also a day of anger at the bias in educational resources.” Little fatty was both aggrieved and indignant.

A gentle laughter could be heard from the entrance.

A group of boys wore unified team uniforms, and dribbled the basketball as they walked in, their expressions as if they had just heard a joke. And when they passed by little fatty, they acted as if he didn’t exist, directly walking right in front of Xia Zhiye: “Xia god, long time no see.”

Such an idiotic nickname as ‘Xiao god’ was one that had remained since middle school.

At that time, Xia Zhiye’s height had already leapt up to 1.8 meters, and amongst a group of radishes that hadn’t yet grown up, he looked especially superior. Added to the fact that he played basketball well, also knew how to play musical instruments, would sleep everyday in class yet his grades were always able to remain in the top three in the grade, this nickname began to circulate.

But it was clear that this male student didn’t call out ‘Xia god’ out of respect or admiration, and was more intended to mock him.

Xia Zhiye didn’t want to bother with him at all, and casually jumped to score three points, then looked at Song Yan and said: “Let’s go change our clothes.”

Song Yan ‘mm’ed, shifted the back on his shoulder, then slowly followed.

The others from No.3 Middle High also followed suit, as they each raised their heads, their noses lifted high to the sky, and without a sideways glance, they hmphed as they walked past the boy.

This attitude of purposefully ignoring their provocation angered a ShiWai student so much so, he couldn’t help but blurt out in anger: “What are you pretending for, we just called you Xiao god, it’s like you really forgot what kind of thing you are. You were already forced to give up yet you still have the face to come back……”

“Chen Rui, stop it!”

The girl who had originally been quietly standing by couldn’t help but call out to stop him.

Chen Rui turned around in shock: “Jiang Yuanyuan, you’ll even defend this kind of scum?”

“I already said to stop it! Do you not understand!”

It was clear that the girl was usually a mild-mannered girl. But now, because she was anxious to put a stop to it, she involuntarily raised her voice.

Chen Rui believed he was standing up on behalf of her, but was ultimately inexplicably scolded by her. He was dazed, but also didn’t want to put the girl on the spot, and could only endure: “Fine, I’m also too lazy to bother speaking with that kind of person, we’ll see each other on court.”

After saying this, he faced the remaining members of the basketball team and said: “Tonight you have to play well during the practice match, and properly educate that scum of society, got it!”

“Got it!”

A group of reckless men made their solemn pledge.

Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at the indignant expression of the group of boys who believed they were fighting for the people, and was both speechless and anxious. She wanted to say something, but after several attempts, she could only sigh, and turned to walk quickly towards the men’s dressing room.

.

The murderous atmosphere in the dressing room was no less than that of outside.

Little fatty didn’t do anything but was the first to get angry: “What kind of person is he! Why would he say that Lord Xia is scum?! Is our Lord Xia immoral? Is he a scum of society? Is he a degenerate? Is he a bastard? Come, tell me!”

Little fatty passed over a microphone.

Team member No.1: “Of course not!”

Team member No.2: “Of course not!”

Team member No.3: “Of course not!”

Team member No.4: “Hard to say.”

“?”

Little fatty looked at last name Song, first name Yan, team member no.4: “Yan ge, you can’t not support Lord Xia at this time, don’t you know what kind of person Lord Xia is?”

Song Yan expressionlessly opened up a locker: “One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature.”

“……”

He even said he didn’t understand his true nature.

Xia Zhiye couldn’t stop himself from turning his body and looking over: “Yan ge, do you have a conscience?”

Song Yan remained unmoved as he placed his bag into the locker, lifted up his basketball uniform, then turned around: “Please move aside, I’m going to change.”

Xia Zhiye turned in a similar angle, and looked at the sloppily dressed and careless bugs behind him: “Did you get that? Move aside, Yan ge is going to change.”

Little fatty didn’t understand: “There’s so much space, is it not enough for you two to change your clothes here.”

“Not enough. I have thin skin and I’m shy when you guys watch me. So can I trouble you guys to go next door.” Xia Zhiye remained calm.

Everyone: “……?”

You, Xia Zhiye, thin skin?

Even the corner of the city wall1 didn’t agree.

Everyone had even planned to put up a last-ditch fight when Zhou Ziqiu took the lead to stand up: “I suggest you guys go next door with me.”

“Why?”

“Unless you guys aren’t scared of the collateral damage in a fight.”

“……”

They thought of their two big bosses’ unharmonious attitude since entering the school, as well as their fighting strength, then everyone quietly picked up their clothes, evacuated the scene, then very tactfully closed the door to the room.

Xia Zhiye’s arms were crossed as he leaned against the locker, and looked at Song Yan with half-lidded eyes, then quietly said: “You can ask now.”

Song Yan’s face was stiff: “I have nothing to ask.”

Xia Zhiye: “You sure?”

Song Yan: “Yeah.”

“Including what exactly is my relationship with that girl?”

“……”

A knowing silence.

Xia Zhiye couldn’t help but smile: “If you want to ask then ask. I promise to tell you everything I know.”

From a rational perspective, Song Yan really did believe that he had nothing to ask.

Whatever grudges Xia Zhiye had in the past, if the other was willing to tell him, then the other would tell him, but if the other wasn’t willing, then he would just let it go. Anyway, he believed in Xia Zhiye’s moral quality, and it would have no effect on the relationship between them.

As for Xia Zhiye’s relationship with that girl……

Their relationship is whatever relationship the other likes it to be.

It has nothing to do with him.

Song Yan felt that he was very open.

Then a gentle voice of a girl could be heard from the door: “Excuse me, is anyone in there? Is classmate Xia Zhiye there?”

Song Yan’s originally not too good facial expression immediately turned cold enough to freeze water, then pushed Xia Zhiye away: “Move. Your immortal goddess is looking for you.”

But Xia Zhiye continued to block the other’s path, and didn’t move an inch, only slightly raising his brows: “Who told you she was my immortal goddess?”

No one told him.

He himself inferred it from the gossip that little fatty provided.

But if she wasn’t his immortal goddess.

Then exactly how many good jiejies and meimeis does Xia Zhiye have?

The more Song Yan thought, the more irritated he felt, and a nameless fire sprung up in his heart. He was simply too lazy to say anything, so he directly turned around, and while facing the locker, his hands lifted up the hem of his sweatshirt then pulled it up. After taking it off, he then tossed it onto a chair cushion.

Xia Zhiye didn’t expect such a good thing would happen, so he leaned against the lockers, and with a fixed gaze, he watched confidently and with keen interest.

But when Song Yan half removed his T-shirt, his movements suddenly paused, and the hem of his shirt stopped at the upper half of his waist. It vaguely exposed a length of a thin waistline, and three seconds later, the hem was once again pulled down.

Song Yan originally felt that there was nothing wrong with a boy taking his clothes off in front of another boy, but he didn’t know why, he inexplicably thought of the scene he just saw in the little road amidst the bamboo trees, and so his clothes were pulled down in such a way.

So he pulled down the hem of his clothes, turned around, then looked at Xia Zhiye: “Still looking?”

Xia Zhiye nodded: “Yeah, it looks good.“

Good looking my ass.

Song Yan truly couldn’t stop himself, then with one hand at Xia Zhiye’s collar, he clenched his other hand into a fist and raised it to punch Xia Zhiye.

Xia Zhiye walked backwards and was directly pressed against the lockers, yet Song Yan’s fist seemed to be moving directly towards Xia Zhiye to punch him. In reality, it was moving to punch the lockers behind Xia Zhiye.

If he were to punch it in such a way, it would be too painful.

Fortunately, Xia Zhiye’s reflexes were quick, and with one hand he grabbed the other’s fist, then feigned innocence as he raised his eyebrow: “Why are you angry again? We’re all guys, what’s wrong with taking a look?”

“Everyone’s a man, and everything I have, you have, so what’s the point in looking?”

“What male high school student doesn’t compare their abs?”

“……”

It seems it was quite reasonable.

“Or did you mean……” Xia Zhiye lowered his voice, “You were affected by Qin Zigui and them, so now you mind?”

Hearing this, Song Yan didn’t even need to think twice before he blurted out: “You’re the one who was fucking affected by them.”

As if he were afraid someone would misunderstand something.

Xia Zhiye fought to control the smile at the corner of his mouth: “Then that’s that. Such a big dressing room, you change on your own, and I’ll change on my own. Why are you trying to punch me?”

He spoke magnanimously and confidently.

Song Yan: “……”

True.

Anyway, he was straight, what was there to be afraid of.

Thinking this, he forcefully pulled his fist away, then his hand once again returned to the hem of his T-shirt, and he began to pull it upwards.

He had just pulled it up halfway when the ‘creak’ of the locker room door signaled the opening of the door. Xia Zhiye nearly instinctively pulled Song Yan, wanting to pull the other behind his back.

But Song Yan also instinctively began to struggle, so as one pulled while the other struggled, Xia Zhiye ultimately pulled Song Yan and pressed the other against the lockers. He had no time to explain when the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor could be heard.

Little fatty who had just opened the door and everyone else stared dazedly into the changing room wherein neither of the inhabitants had changed their clothes after five minutes,

And among them, one big boss whose clothes were clearly pulled apart tightly hugged the other big boss and pressed him up against the lockers. There was even an innocent sweater tossed onto the ground, and with one glance, it was clear it was hastily tossed aside, and the T-shirt on one boss’s body was already being pulled up.

Song Yan: “……”

Xia Zhiye: “……”

Everyone at the doorway: “……”

After three seconds of silently staring at each other.

Bang——

The door was closed once again.

Immediately following that, little fatty could be heard trying hard to suppress his grief: “Cover it! We have to help them cover the door to the dressing room!”
