Chapter 10 - Really Eating With Relish
Chapter 10 - Really Eating With Relish
Xu Yao and Lin Qian had lived near each other and attended the same school ever since they were young. In his past life, Xu Yao had often helped Lin Qian fight Zheng PingQing while on their way to school.
It can be said that the road from Lin Qian’s house to No. 12 High School was their daily battleground.
After seeing Zheng PingQing’s group fool the weak-hearted Lin Qian yesterday, Xu Yao had become even more vigilant as he walked this road. He felt like he needed to remind himself about every single grievance and altercation that happened between Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing on this road. Taking this as a history lesson, Xu Yao was determined to keep an eye on Zheng PingQing’s group and keep them from infiltrating his own group of friends.
As Xu Yao walked along, he eventually arrived at the neighborhood gates...only to see Zheng PingQing beating Lin Qian on the back, beating him so hard he even made Lin Qian vomit.
What a vile, shameless, insidious man! Yesterday they were deceived into signing an agreement for remedial lessons, and now that everyone relaxed a bit, this Zheng PingQing actually took the opportunity to accost Lin Qian!
Xu Yao became so frustrated and angry he thoughtlessly rushed over, shouting.
He had fought Zheng PingQing before and knew he wasn’t much of an opponent for him, but seeing Lin Qian beaten to the ground and vomiting, how could he take it? It was essential to rescue Lin Qian first.
Although who knew if he could manage to do that either?
Xu Yao opened his arms and waited for the black-hearted Zheng PingQing to rush over and attack him. If he was lucky, the security guards or some passerby might come and save his life.
At this moment, Xu Yao’s mood was extremely tragic, but he felt a little comforted at the same time.
This time, Lin Qian would see Zheng PingQing’s true face. As long as Lin Qian woke up and saw reality, he wouldn’t mind being beaten up.
His eyes were full of beautiful tears, Xu Yao ran, ready to scratch Zheng PingQing...
Zheng PingQing startled when he looked up and saw a person running towards him. Seeing this nut-job rushing at him, Zheng PingQing...Zheng PingQing hurriedly ran behind Lin Qian?
Xu Yao:? ? ? ? ?
This stinky shameless man, actually daring to use Lin Qian as a shield.
Xu Yao shouted: “Zheng PingQing you dog, do you think it’s okay to hide behind Ah Qian? Too naive-”
Before he managed to finish his sentence, Lin Qian suddenly turned towards him, and with arms wide open, blocked his attack. Lin Qian then said: “Xu Yao, calm down.”
Xu Yao immediately braked, his upper body leaning forward as he looked at Lin Qian incredulously. “Ah Qian, you’re still helping him even after he hit you?”
Lin Qian: ? ? ? ? ?
Zheng PingQing: ? ? ? ? ?
Lin Qian’s face showed obvious puzzlement. Xu Yao continued to yell and swear at Zheng PingQing: “He even made you vomit-”
Lin Qian: “Ugh-” God, he felt like laughing as he dry heaved.

Zheng PingQing wore a complicated expression as he looked at Xu Yao. He honestly didn’t know if this person was too stupid, or if this was a testament of how bad his impression of Zheng PingQing was.
Lin Qian was stunned by Xu Yao’s small, imaginative brain and coughed violently. Zheng PingQing immediately went to pat him on the back. His movements were light and gentle, and Lin Qian’s complexion undeniably improved because of this.
Xu Yao:? ? ? ? ?
Wait a minute. Isn’t there something wrong with this picture?
Wasn’t Zheng PingQing beating Lin Qian’s back hard enough to dislodge his heart? Why did it turn into patting him on the back?
Zheng PingQing: Why do you think??!!
Xu Yao was stunned, but then he swatted Zheng PingQing’s hand away, saying: “You stop touching him.”
Zheng PingQing: &#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;
Xu Yao gave him a cold look, then started patting Lin Qian on his back. He then looked back towards Zheng PingQing and glared at him. “Don’t even think about trying to flatter Ah Qian.”
Zheng PingQing: ..................
Lin Qian: ..................
After having calmed down, Lin Qian took a deep breath and pulled Xu Yao’s hand off him.
Seeing his complexion recover, Xu Yao began to ask about the cause for his sudden heaving.
Afraid that Zheng PingQing would be charged with murder if he didn’t explain, Lin Qian had no choice but to reply. He vaguely tried to clear things up: “Maybe the food this morning wasn’t very clean.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao was incensed and began to rant: “Which black shop did this, you tell me and I’ll spread hate in our neighborhood as revenge.”
Lin Qian answered with difficulty: “...my dad did it.”
Xu Yao was shocked. “Your relationship with your dad is that bad?” Lin YaZhi even tried to poison his own son?
Lin Qian: “.....”
Lin Qian weakly patted Xu Yao’s shoulder and defended Lin YaZhi: “He’s just not a very good cook.”
Xu Yao remained suspicious and asked: “Then what’s his intention of forcing his bad cooking unto you?”
Lin Qian recalled that truly destructive breakfast and turned pale again, before seriously replying: “It’s like...a father’s love is best described as a tall mountain.”
Xu Yao: “....” What father’s love?!
Zheng PingQing, who knew his dog-blood past, guessed the truth of the matter and asked: “You and your father?”
Lin Qian nodded.
Xu Yao: ? ? ? ?
Wait a minute, what’s this? What’s with Zheng PingQing? What’s with Lin Qian’s answer?
Why can’t he understand anything?
Xu Yao looked at Zheng PingQing then at Lin Qian, unexpectedly feeling excluded.
T-This must just be me hallucinating!
Unwilling to show any sort of weakness, Xu Yao forced a nod. “Yes, right.” He wanted to prove that he had the closest relationship with Lin Qian in the whole world.
Seeing this, Lin Qian was confused. “What?”
Xu Yao gave him a tacit smile and said: “You know.”
Lin Qian: “....” He didn’t understand.
Zheng PingQing looked at Lin Qian’s weak appearance and found it both distressing and funny at the same time. In the end, he ran to a nearby convenience store and came back with some mineral water. Handing the bottle to Lin Qian, he mocked: “Enough standing around and spit it out.”
Lin Qian nodded and gargled. He drank another mouthful of water then looked at the two and said: “Let’s go. We don’t want to be late.”
Zheng PingQing wanted to casually place an arm around Lin Qian’s shoulders, but Xu Yao interrupted, shocked: “Wait, Zheng PingQing’s coming with us?”
Zheng PingQing: “....” Can this situation be any more obvious? Why is he still asking?
Lin Qian placed a hand on his forehead and tiredly said: “Yes, Zheng PingQing is walking with us.”
Looking at Xu Yao’s stunned face, Lin Qian mercilessly continued: “And not just today, he’ll be walking to school with us from now on.”
“We?” Xu Yao hadn’t even processed this new piece of information yet when Zheng PingQing expressed his dissatisfaction first.
This was their pink and happy road of love, how can they have such a big light bulb!
“I’m emphatically against this!” Xu Yao yelled, “On this road, no third person is allowed to exist!”
Zheng PingQing nodded wildly as he looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian: “....” Why does this sound so familiar?
He thought about it for a while before suddenly realizing...wasn’t this a classic love-triangle situation in dramas, where extreme jealousy would force the scum man to finally choose between two love interests?
Lin Qian, who was forced into the role of a scum man, was in a very delicate mood.
“In that case....” Lin Qian thought about it then finally suggested: “Then, you two go and walk to school together and I’ll go by myself?”
Xu Yao: “......”
Zheng PingQing: “.......”
The fearless scum man had finally won for once and succeeded in enjoying a happy end where everyone was satisfied.
In the end, the three people walked together, with Xu Yao planting himself firmly in between Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing. He separated the two with his own body and didn’t forget to stay vigilant, monitoring Zheng PingQing with distrusting eyes.
Zheng PingQing was also quite frustrated. Why is it so difficult for him to experience a pure, lovey-dovey relationship?
When they passed the school gate, this weird three-person combo instantly attracted countless eyes.
Zheng PingQing and Lin Qian’s resentment towards each other was well known throughout the school. Everyone knew that whenever these two appeared at the same place, it would inevitably become a battlefield.
To the students who didn’t witness Zheng PingQing suddenly praising Lin Qian during the assembly yesterday, this harmonious scene of the two men coming to school together was enough to send tongues wagging.
The students nearby who saw this unbelievable scene started to whisper amongst themselves:
“Woah, so Zheng PingQing confessing to Lin Qian wasn’t just a rumor?”
“What? Zheng PingQing confessed to Lin Qian?”
“What’s going on with Zheng PingQing and Lin Qian? Is the school hierarchy suddenly changing?”
“Not necessarily. See how vicious the guy between them looks, maybe there’s going to be a fight?”
“I can’t understand this. Can male relationships be so changeable?”
“I know the inside story: Zheng PingQing’s family sells radishes. This year’s harvest wasn’t good, so he wants to resell some to Lin Qian....”
“Wait, why Lin Qian?”
“How would I know? But I’ve also heard....”
“Bewildering, really bewildering....”
......
The trio who were the subject of these whispers turned a blind eye to the hot gazes trained on them. Zheng PingQing handed Lin Qian the bag he was holding: “You vomited all your breakfast this morning, take this and eat when you get to your classroom.”
Xu Yao quickly intercepted the bag and held it far from Lin Qian. “Give it to me.”
Zheng PingQing looked at his empty hand, then said: “Why not buy some yourself?”
Xu Yao sneered: “Don’t think we’ll be bought by such bribery! Do you really think Ah Qian will fall for your petty tricks and eat this breakfast that you bought?”
Lin Qian: “I’ll eat, ah.”
Xu Yao: “...”
Xu Yao hated iron for not becoming steel and shook the paper bag towards Lin Qian: “Ah Qian, look at it carefully, do you really think this is some ordinary breakfast?”
Lin Qian: “...isn’t it?”
Xu Yao coldly hummed and replied: “This is the enemy’s sugar-coated bullets!”
Lin Qian: “Why don’t you give those sugar-coated bullets back, I am a little hungry.”
Xu Yao saw Lin Qian obstinately persisting in accepting the accursed bribe. He became so angry he took out the buns and quickly finished them off in two bites. Then he punctured the milk box with the straw and in one breath, finished the entire thing. Glaring at Lin Qian, he yelled: “Ah Qian, I’m not just going to stand by and watch as you repeatedly go to the enemy again and again...burp~”
Lin Qian: “....are you seriously making excuses for grabbing my breakfast after you ate it right in front of me?” You’re even burping!
Xu Yao put on an extremely wronged expression: “I’m not, not, burp~”
Lin Qian: “.......”
Xu Yao: “...whew~”
Zheng PingQing clicked his tongue and sneered: “Really eating with gusto–”
Xu Yao why щ(゚Д゚щ)
