I raised my nemesis into my husband

Chapter 68.2

Ning Sheng had seen in Qing’an Town that food was something everyone worked hard to grow, so he couldn’t waste it.

So Ning Sheng ate about half of the unpalatable fried rice.

“Let me eat it.” Xu Ling said. “I haven’t bought food yet.”

The math nerd: “Tsk.”

Xu Ling grabbed the bowl and ate frantically.

“Ning Ning?” A voice came from above. “You actually eat lunch in the school cafeteria.”

Ning Sheng didn’t like the school cafeteria. He just wanted to eat with these primitive people.

“Hahaha, you’re cuter than I imagined.” Senior Bai Liang said. “Here, drink this mung bean smoothie. This fried rice isn’t good, you’ll get thirsty.”

Ning Sheng: “……Oh.”

Not long after Bai Liang left, Ning Sheng’s phone screen lit up.

Xu Ling glanced at it.

[Bai Liang]: Are you home tonight?

[Bai Liang]: I’d like to visit you again tonight.

[Bai Liang]: I’ve prepared a new gift for you.

[Bai Liang]: I’m really sorry about before. My mom saw your photo and wanted me to have an arranged marriage with you, I……

The locked phone screen could only display this much.

Ning Sheng: “?”

Xu Ling: “???”

Ning Sheng picked up his phone and started replying. Xu Ling couldn’t see anymore.

But Xu Ling had just seen “arranged marriage.”

Xu Ling calculated the years. Same-sex marriage wasn’t common now, but it wasn’t unheard of either.

Xu Ling: “……”

“I’m full.” Ning Sheng said.

“There’s still time before afternoon class. Where should we hang out at noon?” Xu Ling followed closely.

“Don’t follow me.” Ning Sheng said.

Xu Ling grinned cheekily: “I have nowhere else to go.”

“The dorm, the classroom, where can’t you go!” Ning Sheng said.

He had to follow him everywhere, even to the bathroom.

“Going to the library, right.” Xu Ling smiled brightly. “Let’s go!”

Ning Sheng: “……”

I can’t shake him off, I really can’t shake him off.

Even so, he still tried to maintain a little safe distance from Xu Ling, doing everything he could by himself.

This caused Ning Sheng’s quality of life to plummet drastically that day.

He forgot his notebook in the library, felt thirsty when entering the classroom, only to find his water bottle was empty, and the academic building only provided hot water.

These things were usually handled by Xu Ling, and he had long since……gotten used to it.

This low quality of life continued until evening when he got home. He wanted to hang up some clothes but got hit on the head by a clothes rack that didn’t hang properly, and when he wanted to pour some milk, he got cut by the sharp edge of a carton.

Did he absorb my luck? Ning Sheng wondered.

Ning Sheng rummaged through Lu Peng’s cabinet looking for band-aids. Lu Peng used the medicine box frequently and kept it very high. The math nerd and Xu Ling could reach it, but Ning Sheng had some difficulty.

Both the math nerd and Lu Peng weren’t home tonight. This small difficulty could be overcome. Ning Sheng jumped up and grabbed the edge of the cabinet.

Lu Peng’s basket of tennis balls on top fell over, clattering down and hitting Ning Sheng on the head.

Ning Sheng: “Ahhhh!”

Xu Ling standing in the doorway: “……”

Xu Ling: “Hey, hey, hey……”

Xu Ling rushed forward and caught the tilting storage cabinet.

“What are you doing?” Xu Ling pushed him aside.

Ning Sheng: “Hmph.”

Ning Sheng’s phone rang.

“Ning Ning!” Bai Liang’s voice. “I’m at your villa’s front door, haha, let me in quickly.”

“Go open the door.” Ning Sheng said. “Take the gift he’s bringing.”

He was feeling irritated right now and didn’t want to receive visitors.

He planned to have Bai Liang leave after delivering the gift.

Ning Sheng unwrapped a band-aid and applied it to his finger.

At the villa’s front door, Xu Ling holding a mop faced off with Bai Liang holding flowers.

“Hello, hello.” Bai Liang greeted him. “I’m here to see the little flower god. My mom wants me to have an arranged marriage with him. Though it’s a misunderstanding, I want to……”

“Oh, please come in.” Xu Ling said calmly.

Bai Liang: “?”

Xu Ling: “Come in.”

Bai Liang: “How can I come in when you’re swinging a mop at me!”

Bai Liang: “Ah ah ah owww.”

Ning Sheng had just finished applying the band-aid when Xu Ling came back.

Ning Sheng: “?”

“I helped you chase the person away.” Xu Ling said.

Ning Sheng: “?”

“I asked you to open the door……not to chase people away.” Ning Sheng’s voice grew smaller and smaller because Xu Ling had stopped smiling.

When he wasn’t smiling, he looked especially like the former great devil.

“You didn’t want to see him just now.” Xu Ling said. “I could tell.”

Xu Ling: “I could tell, so I took care of it for you. Aren’t you happy?”

Xu Ling: “Whatever you want to do, just one look from you and I’ll do it.”

Ning Sheng: “……”

“Good……” Ning Sheng frantically searched for salty cheese crackers. “Well done, here’s your reward.”

Xu Ling’s favorite snack was these crackers.

“You don’t think you can dismiss me with this, do you?” Xu Ling didn’t take them.

Ning Sheng: “Then what do you want?”

“You want to have an arranged marriage with him, so you’re distancing yourself from me?” Xu Ling asked.

Ning Sheng: “?”

What? Who wants to have an arranged marriage with whom? Where did this news come from? Who spread this rumor?

His arrogant and haughty attitude unchanged: “Who I want to have an arranged marriage with, do I need to ask your opinion?”

He threw down the crackers and was about to leave when Xu Ling stuck out his foot and tripped him.

Ning Sheng: “Ah……”

He fell in front of Xu Ling.

“Little young master, I’ve spoiled you rotten.” Xu Ling said. “Without me, what can you do? Your life will just be a mess.”

“What do you take me for?” Xu Ling asked. “Someone you can summon and dismiss at will? Tell me, what am I to you?”

“I didn’t!” Ning Sheng retorted indignantly and instinctively. “I……”

“You don’t really think that even now, you can still make me obediently play dog for you with just a cracker, do you?” Xu Ling asked. “The price has gone up. Pay with this instead.”

Ning Sheng: “What?”

Ning Sheng: “Let me go first, you……”

In that instant, Xu Ling leaned down, pressed against him, and kissed him hard.

Ning Sheng’s reaction was half a beat slow. By the time he realized what was happening, Xu Ling was holding his head, clasping his hands, kissing him deeply and forcefully.

Ning Sheng’s breathing became erratic, his clothes were pinched into small wrinkles, and the corners of his mouth were kissed red.

“Let go……” He struggled several times, making small sounds of distress, before finally breaking free. He raised his hand and slapped Xu Ling across the face.

Xu Ling covered his face, looked at him, and grinned. The simplicity and sincerity had vanished, replaced by a burning gaze.

Ning Sheng was panting as he rushed upstairs and slammed his bedroom door.
