Chapter 48(2/2)
Huang Shao cried out in anguish before reluctantly heading over to the school office. In between classes, he once again came over to find Jiang Yang to report Qin Xu. He said things like; Qin Xu that devious guy cheated me and that he’s jealous that I have a good relationship with you.
Although he said those words jokingly, those words were not a lie. Jiang Yang and him could be considered as having grown up together. From sixth year of elementary school until now, they have maintained their relationship for 5 years. With Jiang Yang’s bad temper, for him to be able to endure someone as frivolous as Huang Shao for so long, it could be said to be true love.
It was the same this time as well. After Huang Shao’s miserable begging, Jiang Yang promised that he would help him level up. Afterwards, Huang Shao even specially took screenshots of their team winning and sent it to his groups of dog friends to show off his achievements.
“I am getting closer and closer to the king’s road HAHAHAHA [Hand on waist laughing.jpg]”
“Despise [Picking nose]”
“Middle finger.”
“Jiang Yang is your true love. Don’t try and cheat me.”
historical
“+10086.”
Huang Shao swiped through the conversation filled with insults directed at him and wasn’t affected at all. He continued to show off and very quickly typed a few more words ——– You guys are just jealous. Laozi and Jiang God shared the same pants growing up. Laozi has someone to carry me and you guys don’t LOLOL.
“I have never seen such a brazen person.”
“.....Excuse me, please leave.”
“Er Huang, please continue. My forty-metre sword is ready to cut you down.”
Qin Xu looked at the lively group chat that endlessly moved up his screen and felt dissatisfied. He wanted to grab Jiang Yang by his shoulders and shake him while yelling, how can you do this to me? Am I not important to you anymore?! We’re clearly......he paused for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he added —-We’re clearly friends!!!
And so, filled with jealousy, Qin Xu’s finger moved a few times and the chat interface on Huang Shao’s end suddenly stopped moving. The gray words at the bottom said —– You have been kicked out of the group chat.
Huang Shao: “...........Meow?”
Weekend.
Jiang Yang stayed at home eating and drinking while unscrupulously playing games. With skilful operations, he cleanly dealt damage to two enemies within a few seconds. His speed was so fast that the other party didn’t have the time to realise that they had died until their body had already gone cold. Once again, he won, and this time he was even named the MVP. He smiled smugly and was proud that he was such a king-player.
Just as he intended to start another game, mother Jiang’s voice travelled into his room from outside: “Look at you, every time you come back, all you do is hide in your room playing games. Your body is about to be destroyed. Go outside and walk around for a bit. And help me buy a bottle of soy sauce.”
Soy sauce? What a joke. He’s the invincible king-player. He’s not afraid of anything and you dare ask him to go get soy sauce?
Mother Jiang again yelled: “You’re still not moving? Get going!”
Jiang Yang silently placed down his phone and felt a little wronged, “.....Oh.”
Although he may be the invincible king, he still couldn’t go against something as terrifying as his mother. He listened to her words obediently and went outside with his phone. He was even looked at by mother Jiang sternly: “Why are you bringing your phone? Don’t go and find a place just to play games.”
Jiang Yang: “.......I’m just using it to pay for the soy sauce. Not playing.”
Mother Jiang: “A true man is true to their words, otherwise they’re a dog.”
Jiang Yang: “..........” I’ve already been called a dog so many times.
The king-player who was driven out of the house, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, walked down the road bleakly.
According to his great mother’s words, he naturally couldn’t go back home too early and should walk around for a bit outdoors, so he wasn’t in a hurry to buy the soy sauce. Instead, he bought a matcha flavoured ice cream cone and walked around while eating it as he looked for a place to sit down and play on his phone before going back.
He wandered around bored and passed through a small park. On the grass were some elderly people and young children wandering around after dinner and there were also aunties getting ready for their afternoon dance. Several young children sped past him on their skateboards.
Jiang Yang watched them for a while before taking back his gaze. The sound of a dog barking drew his attention and his eyes followed to find the source of the sound. Next to him just happened to be a small bench and a small poodle sat on it with his beady black eyes moving around everywhere in excitement. Its body was covered in dark brown curly fur and if you didn’t look clearly, you would have mistaken it for a toy poodle. Filled with spirit, it had its tongue hanging out of his mouth and it very cheerfully panted.
Jiang Yang found it very cute and couldn’t help but bend over to pet it. The fluffy feel of its fur was very good, and the small poodle also responded very positively. It barked back very excitedly and jumped up onto its pair of short hindlegs.
Then, Jiang Yang felt a pair of hands fall onto the top of his head and ruffle it up a few times before a low-pitched voice coaxed: “Be good, good boy.”
Jiang Yang: “........???”
He subconsciously looked back and was met with a familiar handsome face.
Qin Xu’s hand was still on his head and with a fake surprised expression, he continued to rub the top of his head as he said: “Jiang Yang?”
Jiang Yang felt the hand on the top of his head mischievously ruffling up his hair and immediately swatted his hand away in annoyance. Through gritted teeth he said: “Do I fucking look like a dog?”
He then sneered as he stuffed the remaining ice cream cone into Qin Xu’s mouth and agilely pushed the other person over onto the bench and retaliated by messing up his hair. With both his hands, he kneaded and ruffed with Qin Xu’s hair and distorted his face into all kinds of funny expressions.
The two men scuffled around like this and just as they were concentrating on the fight, a little girl walked over with a look of curiosity. She pulled out the lollipop in her mouth and shouted into the distance: “Mum, there are two brother’s fighting!”
Qin Xu had only just managed to take out the ice cream cone and returned the gift by stuffing it back into Jiang Yang’s mouth. With a small smile that clearly indicated that he did not have any good intentions, he waved at the little girl and said: “Little sister, you’re mistaken. This is my boyfriend. I’m am just flirting with him.”
Jiang Yang was stunned by this guys ability to speak nonsense but, with his mouth stuffed with the ice cream cone, he couldn’t speak to clear up the situation. The little girl then yelled out: “Mum, it’s okay! The brother says that he’s just flirting with his boyfriend!”
Jiang Yang was scared to the point that he had almost swallowed the ice cream cone whole. He glared ferociously at Qin Xu and even kicked him aside before turning around and planning to leave. However, just as he lifted his foot to move, he felt a small resistance coming from his leg. Looking down, he saw the little poodle biting on his pant leg holding him back.
Jiang Yang: “.......”
Unable to get rid of it, Jiang Yang could only bend over to pick up the dog. He intended to force it over to Qin Xu but when he looked up, he saw Qin Xu holding hands with a little boy who looked to be about five or six years old. With a white and tender cheeks, and in a small yellow t-shirt and denim pants, the child stared up at him curiously.
That face was quite similar to Qin Xu’s. Both of them also had something tied around their wrists which joined them together.....Isn’t that a parent-child rope? (KK: See image below)
Jiang Yang held onto the poodle and froze for a moment before blurting out: “Your son?”
Qin Xu laughed: “As such a handsome and charismatic man like me, do you think it’s possible?”
Jiang Yang just smiled and replied: “How can it not be possible? You should be more confident in yourself.”
Qin Xu: “......” Hehe. Why should he be confident in something like that?
Jiang Yang managed to leave Qin Xu at loss of words and felt his mood improve. All the dissatisfaction he had earlier when he was treated like a dog by him quickly dissipated. He held the poodle out and planned to hand the dog back to him but just as the poodle got closer to Qin Xu, it started to bark madly. It was as if it had just encountered an enemy and was responding to him with vigilance and very fiercely.
Jiang Yang was a little surprised, “Isn’t this your dog?”
Qin Xu nodded and then shrugged his shoulders. It looked like he had become accustomed to this treatment, “But, I have never been liked by small animals.”
Jiang Yang didn’t know about this. After a moment of surprise, he ridiculed him: “It’s probably because animals can differentiate between good and bad. You’re clearly not a good person.”
Qin Xu rolled his eyes and, seemingly remembering something, he suddenly leaned forward to the point that his face almost touched Jiang Yang’s: ”If our souls are exchanged again, lets try and see if it still likes you.”
He had gotten too close and his warm breath could be felt on his ears. Jiang Yang subconsciously shrank back to increase the distance between them. He then saw Qin Xu single-handedly pressing down on the poodles’ head in his arms. No matter how angry and how loud it is, its’ short legs could not reach his hand and could only flail around aimlessly in the air.
Jiang Yang saw this and couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing that the poodle has such intense dislike for Qin Xu, Jiang Yang couldn’t understand why he would take the dog out for a walk.
Qin Xu naturally pointed to the child next to him, “My nephew. Relying on him.”
So to say, the big one is taking the small one out for a walk and the small one is taking the poodle out? It’s something like that?
Jiang Yang laughed and then casually glanced at the time. He decided that he should stay a little longer and sat down to play games with Qin Xu. At this moment, it was time for team battles, so they pulled Qin Xu’s nephew in as well. The three of them sat in a row playing the game while the poodle ran around occasionally licking and sniffing at things around it as it pleased. However, every time it passed Qin Xu, it would have a look of disgust on its face.
