Chapter 49.2

Editor: Princess

The lights at the foot of the mountain were from a popular online barbecue restaurant in the city.

“Let this Pig King taste whether the city pigs are more fragrant.” Lu Peng said.

Xu Ling was in charge of grilling, while the rest ate. For a moment, everyone fell silent.

“How is it?” The owner was quite enthusiastic. “Young students, how’s our pork?”

“It’s good.” Ning Sheng answered. “It just makes me homesick after eating it.”

Xu Ling: “Pfft.”

The group was still laughing when they came out.

“My family’s pigs are still the best.” Lu Peng said proudly.

“It’s nine o’clock.” Xu Ling reminded. “Are we going back to school?”

Ning Sheng’s footsteps stopped.

Xu Ling’s attitude was now civilized and nice, and he wasn’t very angry anymore.

But making such a fuss about leaving, only to eat a barbecue meal and go back, seemed to lack face.

“Don’t rush.” Xu Ling said. “I’ll think of a way for you to save face.”

Ning Sheng: “???”

Ning Sheng: “Can you keep your inner thoughts to yourself?”

Xu Ling: “Definitely next time.”

“Lu Peng has a sports student selection test tomorrow after school.” Xu Ling said. “Let’s go back and watch it together tomorrow.”

Ning Sheng: “Fine.”

Ning Sheng: “This young master is letting you off easy.”

The first thing Ning Sheng did when he returned to the dormitory was to take a shower. He kept on feeling like his clothes smelled of barbecue.

Standing under the shower with water flowing down in the bathroom, he remembered something and opened the door of the bathroom slightly.

“Dog Xu.” Ning Sheng said. “Help me get underwear.”

Xu Ling was folding paper, but the moment he heard this, he put it down immediately and went to rummage through Ning Sheng’s wardrobe.

The bathroom door opened, and Xu Ling rushed into the mist, turning to close the door.

“You could have just handed it to me.” Ning Sheng said.

“Let me see where you’re hurt.” Xu Ling held a spray can specifically for bruises. “Lu Peng just bought it, it hasn’t been used yet.”

Before, when the car wash didn’t even have showers, they used to bathe together, so Ning Sheng was used to it and didn’t feel uncomfortable.

He turned off the hot water, turned around, tilted his head slightly, pointed at a small bruise on his lower back extending to his buttock, and glared at Xu Ling.

“You’re still laughing.” Ning Sheng was furious.

“I’m very serious, I just have naturally smiling lips.” Xu Ling said.

Ning Sheng: “…”

“Are you done washing?” Xu Ling asked. “Stand still, I’ll apply some medicine for you.”

“Mm.” Ning Sheng used a towel to dry the water on his body.

“It’s a bit cold, don’t move.” Xu Ling unscrewed the spray can, one hand holding Ning Sheng’s waist, the other pressing the switch.

The cold spray came out, contacting the warm skin. Ning Sheng shivered from the coldness, his lower back concaving slightly, immediately wanting to escape.

Ning Sheng: “Ah… it’s too cold!”

“Almost done, almost done.” Xu Ling pressed the button frantically, holding Ning Sheng’s waist to prevent him from escaping. “This medicine works well, you’ll be better by tomorrow.”

Ning Sheng: “Xu Dashan!”

The herbal scent of the medicine overpowered the fragrance of the shower gel, and a layer of tiny mist covered Ning Sheng’s milky white, delicate skin.

“All done, all done.” Xu Ling released his hand and put the small medicine bottle away.

The medicine wasn’t as cold anymore. Ning Sheng took a loose pajama top from the rack and put it on first.

The hem of the pajama top barely covered the misty curves. Xu Ling glanced at it briefly, and it seemed like he could see very faint fingerprints on his waist.

Delicate.

He evaluated in his heart.

Ning Sheng had been in Qing’an Town since he was 5 years old, experiencing the same wind and sunlight as everyone else.

However he still remained like a fragile beautiful porcelain doll, unable to be touched or hurt.

“I won’t hurt you again next time.” He said suddenly.

Ning Sheng lifted his eyelids and looked at him: “Hmph.”

Ning Sheng pressed his lips into a straight line, turned his head, and faced Xu Ling with his profile: “It’s not entirely your fault.”

He pinched his fingers to indicate: “This tiny bit is my responsibility.”

“I won’t ignore you in the future either.” Xu Ling told him. “If I’m far from you and you can’t call me, just hit me.”

“This young master won’t hit you every day.” Ning Sheng said. “It hurts my hand.”

Ning Sheng: “Ah! Don’t hug me, I haven’t put on pants yet!”

“You go out.” Xu Ling said. “I’m going to take a shower.”

Ning Sheng said “oh” and went out carrying his changed clothes.

On the desk were several small toys that he hadn’t seen before.

“What are these?” He asked.

“Princess, you haven’t seen them before?” Lu Peng said. “They’re tops.”

Lu Peng: “This one is electric, this one is manual, and this type is whipped with a cord.”

Lu Peng: “Do you know how to play? I played with them as a child, let me show you.”

“If you don’t know how to whip it, just imagine it’s Dog Xu.” Li Haoyue said.

Ning Sheng: “Wow!”

Ning Sheng: “Is that okay?”

Ning Sheng: “Will it break?”

Li Haoyue: “…”

“Dog Xu chose the right gift, hehe.” Lu Peng laughed. “The math nerd said you like rustic things the most.”

Li Haoyue threw a Chinese textbook at Lu Peng’s head.

Lu Peng: “Ow.”

“You’re insulting me.” Ning Sheng grabbed the book and raised his hand to hit the math nerd.

However the math nerd ducked, and Xu Ling, who had just finished his shower, pushed the door open just in time to get hit on the head by the book.

Xu Ling: “…”

Xu Ling: “Fuck, I’m seeing stars.”

“Are you okay?” Ning Sheng stood with his hands behind his back by Xu Ling’s desk, not looking at him.

“I’m fine, it’s nothing.” Xu Ling rubbed his head while rummaging through a drawer. “Let me put on a matching bandage with you.”
