Chapter 61.2 (patreon post)

Editor: Princess

Xu Ling grinned at him and used his finger to gently touch the spot on his cheek that had been rubbed red earlier.

Ning Sheng took a small bite of the peach. It was very sweet.

What was happening? His dog had suddenly learned to retract his claws, and when he embraced him, he didn’t hurt him as much anymore.

“Express delivery!” Outside the meat shop, the delivery man shouted loudly, “Lu Peng’s express delivery! Your acceptance letter has arrived!”

Lu Peng leaped up, vaulted over the wall, and landed in front of the delivery man.

Lu Peng: “Yay, I got in! I got in!”

He tried to rush into the courtyard but ran headfirst into the wall and lay on the ground laughing foolishly, “I can go to S City too, hahaha!”

His maniacal laughter echoed through the skies of Qing’an Town, causing neighbors to poke their heads out to look.

Ning Sheng jumped down from the courtyard wall and slapped him across the face.

Lu Peng stopped laughing and climbed back over the wall with him.

“I’m about to be a university student.” Lu Peng said. “I did something mature.”

Ning Sheng: “What?”

“I found a part-time job handing out flyers to earn living expenses, it’s one hundred yuan a day.”

“To show my commitment to work, I even paid a 300-yuan deposit.”

Lu Peng: “Why are you all silent?”

The next day, Ning Sheng’s family’s Maybach set off early to take Lu Peng to the city for his part-time job.

The car also carried Xu Ling and Li Haoyue, along with a sleeping Ning Sheng.

Ning Sheng was leaning against Xu Ling’s shoulder, sleeping soundly. His eyelashes fluttered gently with each breath. Xu Ling raised his hand to brush those butterfly-wing-like lashes, then looked up to meet Li Haoyue’s eyes.

Li Haoyue raised an eyebrow, Xu Ling raised his higher, then Li Haoyue raised his even more.

After a while, both of them covered their eyes simultaneously. It hurt from staring.

Xu Ling pointed to his mouth and made a zipping motion. The math nerd rolled his eyes, gave him the middle finger, and looked away.

Lu Peng didn’t understand what was happening, but he also gave Xu Ling the middle finger.

At the entrance of a downtown shopping mall, Ning Sheng woke up. The three of them found a coffee shop to sit in and watched Lu Peng through the glass window as he wore a large bubble tea shop mascot costume to attract customers.

“This is the first time I’ve seen…” Ning Sheng said, “a bubble tea shop mascot that doesn’t act cute but instead does bodybuilding poses…”

Xu Ling: “They charged too little for that 300-yuan deposit.”

“The university dormitory assignments are out.” Li Haoyue said, looking at his laptop screen. “You two are in the same major and share a dorm room. I’m next door to you, and Lu Peng is on the first floor of our building.”

“This young master won’t live in dorms.” Ning Sheng said. “This young master has a house in S City.”

His grandmother had bought him houses everywhere.

Outside the window, the mascot from the neighboring bubble tea shop came over to provoke a fight but was knocked down by Lu Peng with two punches. A crowd gathered around cheering.

“Great!” Xu Ling played with Ning Sheng’s fingers. “I get to sleep with princess.”

“We’re going to university now, stop calling me princess!” Ning Sheng exploded. “I’m a boy!”

“You’re beautiful.” Xu Ling told. “People online are all saying you’re good-looking. Everyone is praising you.”

He really wanted to delete all those videos and lock the person away to keep him safe.

But Ning Ning would be unhappy.

This was the caged bird he had carefully nurtured and taught to spread its wings. How could he bear to cage him up again?

Ning Sheng felt suffocated by how close he was pressed against him.

He was too clingy. When they were small it was fine, as he was just a little one. Now he was so big, tall with broad shoulders, always sticking close to him and following him everywhere.

The math nerd and Lu Peng, who had also grown up together, weren’t like this… were they?

“I want to try this.” Xu Ling tapped the laptop, bringing up a webpage.

The webpage displayed X University’s student entrepreneurship competition.

Ning Sheng: “Mm?”

Whatever. Since his major was relevant, he didn’t mind playing along.

“Then let’s try it.” Li Haoyue said. “Let’s register and give our team a name.”

“‘Qing’an Town Never Sets’ team.” Ning Sheng suggested.

Outside the glass window, the neighboring bubble tea shop deployed a second mascot, and the two of them together pinned Lu Peng down.

Ning Sheng: “?”

Ning Sheng: “Get them.”

At the entrance of the bubble tea shop where Lu Peng worked, three teenagers appeared.

Ning Sheng slapped down a card: “We want to work.”

The staff member: “……”

Outside the bubble tea shop, Lu Peng was fighting one against two.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly cheered, then two tall mascots rushed out from Lu Peng’s bubble tea shop to join the battle.

Lu Peng was so moved he nearly cried.

His good friends really wouldn’t abandon him. They might sit in air-conditioned rooms drinking coffee, but they wouldn’t keep drinking forever.

Three against two, the suns of Qing’an Town had never lost.

Moreover, Lu Peng’s side had reinforcements—

A fourth mascot stumbled out of the bubble tea shop, swaying unsteadily, bumping into walls several times before being directed by passersby, then joined the battle.

Ning Sheng raised his hand and delivered a slap to his target.

Suddenly, both sides welcomed a long-awaited peace.

“Ning Ning.” Said the mascot that had been hit. “It’s me, Dog Xu.”
