Chapter 9
Of course, this story wasn’t over. The people around were looking forward to the sequel and were even more hopeful that they could participate.
Due to the “special” relationship between Ye Zhou and Shang Jin, the original good relationship between the 403 dorm and 405 dorm had become even more “inseparable”.
On Wednesday afternoon, Liu Yutian and Zhou Wendao sneaked into an empty classroom to secretly hold a whispered discussion.
Zhou Wendao vigilantly looked around and asked in a low voice, “Have you brought it?”
Liu Yutian took out his cell phone and mysteriously said, “Everything you wanted is here!”
“Open it and let me see.”
Liu Yutian moved his knuckles, unlocked his cell phone, opened the album, and the screen was full of golden…pei peiーa Sleeping Male Beauty.
Zhou Wendao opened photo after photo. With a face that was always willful, even if Shang Jin was lying on the bed without any pose, it looked like a portrait. He finally understood the feeling of Internet fans’ praising their idol ‘each frown and smile is like a painting’. “Beautifully done! Quickly transfer them to me.”
Liu Yutian used Bluetooth to transfer the photos. After everything was done, he shrunk his shoulders and asked, “Can we speak loudly?”
Zhou Wendao looked as if he was looking at a fool and said, “Why not? Isn’t this an empty classroom?”
Liu Yutian restored his volume and resentfully said, “Then what about you looking around shiftily before?? Making you seem like an underground worker.”
Zhou Wendao looked at his phone in satisfaction, hooked Liu Yutian’s shoulders and proudly laughed twice and said, “You don’t think that us helping Ye Zhou and Shang Jin get together has the feel of seniors working together to fight for the country? And you see, nowadays the TV series “Shredded Devil” all love to take what ‘mantis plan to chase the wind’ plan, this kind of name. We should also give our operation a trendy name!”
Liu Yutian curiously said, “What name?”
Zhou Wendao lifted his chin and proudly said, “Spring Silkworm Operation!”
“Spring Silkworm…it’s not trendy at all. It’s like a childcare organization.” Liu Yutian clapped his hands and said, “Why not call it ‘Secret Night Chasing Wind’!”
“You know a fart!” Zhou Wendao gave him a disdainful look. “What does Shang Jin and Ye Zhou have in common?”
Not waiting from Liu Yutian to respond, Zhou Wendao continued, “It’s mulberry leaf (桑叶 – Sāng yè) combined! But mulberry leaf is too obvious. After all, not everyone is like our class that understand and respect same-sex relationships. So I made a derivation, called Spring Silkworm Operation!”
This amazing hogwash succeeded in making Liu Yutian accept this code name. “But what does this have to do with the photos?”
“Heh heh heh…” Zhou Wendao gave a hollow laugh. “In fact, it’s because I made Ye Zhou angry…I wanted to take these to coax him…”
Liu Yutian’s first reaction was: “Ye Zhou can actually get angry??”
After saying that, Liu Yutian finally came to understand, “That’s not right. You clearly said that it was for the great cause of helping Shang Jin and Ye Zhou get together that made me secretly take the pictures. Setting it up for half a day, it was for yourself!”
Zhou Wendao pretended not to hear the other’s last superfluous words. He waved his cell phone and said, “Brother, thank you. After the Spring Silkworm Operation really succeed, the military medal on you will be the most brilliant! I still have something to do, withdrawing first!”
Ding-dong. The WeChat rang.
Ye Zhou was picking books in the library. After hearing the sound, he immediately turned the phone on mute. After putting the selected books on the table, he sat down and opened the phone.
Zhou Wendao:【Pitiful】Zhou, I was wrong!
Ye Zhou chuckled. In fact, he wasn’t angry at all. He just wanted to give the other a lesson and let him not shoot his mouth off so much in the future.
Just thinking about the scene that day, he couldn’t resist grinding his teeth.
On the last day of the Eleventh holiday, when everyone misunderstood that the bag that Shang Jin was eating from was Ye Zhou’s, Zhou Wendao blew the whistle with a voice that he thought was very soft but in fact, everyone in the 405 dorm could clearly hear, “Not bad. Shang Jin sent you off when leaving, and you brought him the specialty when you came back.”
In an instant, Ye Zhou felt the gazes around him become even more fiery.
Shang Jin opened his mouth and was about to speak. But he still hadn’t said a word when he gave up. He took his glass of water and walked out from the crowd as if the matter wasn’t related to him, leaving Ye Zhou alone to suffer from the gossip of the crowd. They were brimming with enthusiasm as they grilled him on which stage he’s at with Shang Jin.
It was hard for Ye Zhou to dispute.
If he spoke the truth, everyone would one hundred percent think that they really had gone traveling hand-in-hand.
But if he was to go along with everyone’s present misunderstanding…he still couldn’t wash himself clear!!
Whatever he said would be wrong, so Ye Zhou could only take out his anger on the main culprit, Zhou Wendao. Fiercely glaring at him, he ignored him for two hours.
Ye Zhou had never really been in conflict with his classmates. So after he ate dinner that night, his temper had cooled off. But it was Zhou Wendao who had a guilty conscience and lost a few days being careful around Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou held his cell phone and quickly typed out a few words. He hadn’t pressed send yet, Zhou Wendao’s message came again.
Zhou Wendao: I specially requested something for you. After you see it, you must forgive me!
Ye Zhou raised his eyebrows. What unitary moth was Zhou Wendao making again?
Zhou Wendao: 【Photo】
Ye Zhou suddenly clenched his cell phone.
Zhou Wendao: 【Photo】
Ye Zhou took his just typed “It’s okay. I’m not angry anymore.” and deleted it word by word.
Zhou Wendao: 【Photo】
Ye Zhou clicked on Zhou Wendao’s contact and deleted it without hesitation.
Zhou Wendao happily sent the photo one by one, but the result was he was about to send the last one, but couldn’t send it out.
System Message: You are not a friend of the other party. If you want to send a message, please first add the other party as a friend.
Zhou Wendao: qaq [T/N: crying expression]
Ye Zhou was reading a book in the dorm that night, and Zhou Wendao was outside the dorm, scratching the door.
“Zhou, what did I do wrong!” The sense of injustice in Zhou Wendao’s heart was even more than Dou E1. Liu Yutian had later found him and expressed his very strong dissatisfaction, and Zhou Wendao had had to spend a day-worth of meal money to finally send Liu Yutian away.
Ye Zhou turned a deaf ear and unhurriedly flipped a page with his hand.
Xu Yangjun couldn’t bear to hear the ghost wailing and wolves howling outside. He walked to Ye Zhou’s side, bent down and asked, “Zhou, he’s been scratching for ten minutes. You’re sure you want to let him continue this disgrace?”
“Zhou, are you dissatisfied with the photos!”
Upon hearing the word ‘photos’, Ye Zhou’s eyelid jumped, intuiting that Zhou Wendao would say something shocking once again. The next second, Ye Zhou’s intuition came true.
“Sleeping face photos are already the limit! Could it be that you insist on nude photos before your anger would disappear?? But…Shang Jin’s nude photos and what not…this servant really can’t do it…”
Ye Zhou threw down the book and, combining three steps into two, walked to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Wendao was squatting at Ye Zhou’s feet, and two steps behind him, Shang Jin was leaning against the handrail in the corridor. He was staring at him with an expression brimming with deep meaning. Seeing Ye Zhou looking over, Shang Jin lightly coughed and said, “I was only passing by. I’m going.”
Just walking not even two steps, Shang Jin turned around and said, “Oh, right. I didn’t expect that you were so fierce, but I don’t have that kind of urge.”
I also don’t have any, okay?????
Ye Zhou gritted his teeth and said, “Even if you do, I don’t dare to look. I’m afraid a long needle would prick my eye.”
“Uh-huh.” Shang Jin shrugged his shoulders and returned to his room.
Ye Zhou dragged Zhou Wendao’s collar and said, “Zhou Wendao, do you really want to die?”
