Edited by Divetus

The next day, Xiang Huaizhi was noisily woken up by Lu Hang.

I cant make the decision on my own Hes sleeping. I suggest that you directly hire a.s.sa.s.sins

ba

, we cant help you

Xiang Huaizhi stared at the gray ceiling, his whole being was still immersed in his dream of a few minutes ago.

Jing Huan had stood in front of him with his eyes closed and his eyelashes slightly trembling from nervousness, his lips twitching while waiting for Xiang Huaizhi to do something.

Xiang Huaizhi closed his eyes again. After a while, he sat up from the bed.

He didnt rush to get out of bed, but instead, raised his hand and ran it through his hair before picking up his cellphone and unlocking it.

Xiao Jing

ya

: Thank you Ge My fever has already gone down.

Xiao Jing

ya

: [Kowtow]

The message was sent a few minutes ago.

Xiang: Just woke up?

Xiao Jing

ya

: No, I woke up a long time ago, Im at the basketball court now.

Xiang Huaizhi glanced at the time, then he put his cellphone aside and got out of bed.

Lu Hang had just heard him move when he immediately took off his headphones. Xiangxiang, youre finally f.u.c.king awake, Ive almost been annoyed to death

Xiang Huaizhi put on his shoes and gently dropped his cellphone onto the table, ignoring him.

Do you know who came to find me? Lu Hang was unaffected and answered himself, Immortal Mengmeng!

Lu Hang turned his head and said, She asked us to help her kill someone. The price was quite high, several times higher than the most expensive a.s.sa.s.sination group in our server. But, why didnt she just go straight to you

ah

? She had to come ask me to deliver her message to you.

Xaing Huaizhi answered, Blacklisted her.

Lu hang nodded, unsurprised. Then, shall we take it?

5000 yuan

a head, and the kill target is still a noob Its like picking money off the ground.

The price was so high that even Lu Hang was excited.

However, he knew that Immortal Mengmeng didnt only seek them out just to kill someone. Since Xiang Huaizhis megaphone to clarify matters, Immortal Mengmengs reputation had been very poor. If their team helped her kill someone now, in other peoples eyes, it would be like breaking the ice.

Xiang Huaizhi walked to the bathroom with a towel and tossed out a sentence behind him. I dont want to get divorced yet.

Winter had officially started. After the rain yesterday, the temperature had plummeted again. At noon, the basketball court had turned into a bustling place.

Jing Huan jumped up and threw a beautiful two-point shot before turning to go off-court to take a break.

s.h.i.+t, how long have you been playing? Arent you tired yet

ah

? Lu Wenhao sat in his seat and gasped, What, were you actually not ill last night, but were facing a heavenly tribulation?

With that, Lu Wenhao handed him the water bottle.

Jing Huan took a look at the water bottle, and with a mysterious expression, said, Forget it, I wont drink it.

Lu Wenhao was stunned. What? Are you abandoning me?

Just looking at him made Jing Huans mind become full of handstands Thats what.

Tch.

Why were peoples vows so fierce nowadays

ah

.

Jing Huan licked his lips, moved his eyes to Lu Wenhaos legs and he began to ask, Didnt you hurt your leg? Can you still play?

Flesh wound, I just wanted to get a leave of absence yesterday. Lu Wenhao said, How about it, are you leaving?

Ill play some more. Jing Huan said.

After taking the medicine yesterday, he had slept for more than ten hours. Now, he just felt full of energy and had no place to put it.

Xiang Huaizhi and Lu Hang went out for lunch together. When they came out of the restaurant, Lu Hang rubbed his stomach and turned around to see the person next to him looking down at his cellphone.

Recently, youre always gripping your cellphone close to you everywhere you go, joked Lu Hang. Married men really are different Lets go get a coffee and then head back to the dorm.

Xiang Huaizhi didnt even lift his head. You go back first.

Lu Hang asked, Where are you going?

Have things to take care of.

It was close to cla.s.s time, and a group of people came out of the dormitory building.

Xiang Huaizhi put his hands in his pockets, his right hand gently cradling his cellphone in his pocket. When he pa.s.sed the school supermarket, he thought for a bit and then walked in.

Jing Huan was slightly stooped and held the ball in his hands. He considered whether to break through or to try and throw a three-pointer where he was.

Because it wasnt a real compet.i.tion, the players were very relaxed. The boy guarding him stood very straight, looking like he was watching a play rather than playing basketball..

The boy laughed and asked, Jing Huan, youve played so long today?

Jing Huan gasped and said, Ill play a bit more and then go.

Oh, whats going on between you and that third-year senior

ah

?

Jing Huans hands froze, and he turned to look at the boy.

The boys tone was casual, and he joked, In cla.s.s this morning, the girl sitting behind me was constantly talking about you two. I listened to her for the entire cla.s.s.

Friends

ah

, what else could we be? Jing Huan replied with a guilty conscience and pointedly not digging into it.

With that, he broke out from the left and jumped up to shoot.

The basketball rattled around the hoop several times, but didnt go in.

He clicked his tongue and went back to defend. That brief interlude just now had distracted him, and going back to defend felt like taking a stroll.

Sweating in the weather today was unpleasant. Whenever the wind blew, it chilled his face. Jing Huan pursed his lips and kind of regretted not putting aside his misgivings to drink Lu Wenhaos water.

He grabbed the corner of his clothes, just wanting to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, when he saw the person standing outside the basketball court fence.

Jing Huan:

His heart jumped from this curious coincidence and he pulled his clothes down.

Before he could greet Xiang Huaizhi, his teammates stole the basketball and threw it into his hands. Jing Huan suddenly snapped out of it, almost getting hit in the face by the ball.

He turned around and made a shot.. There was no one under the basket, but he still couldnt get the ball in.

Jing Huan, even this ball didnt go in? his teammate laughed and asked him.

Mistake, Jing Huan pushed his hair back. I wont play anymore.

With that, he ignored his teammates and hurried off the court.

When he looked back, the place where Xiang Huaizhi had stood was now empty.

Jing Huan stared at that place for a long time and doubtfully frowned.

Had his eyes been playing tricks on him?

Huanhuan, what are you looking at? Lu Wenhao called out to him.

Jing Huan looked away. No, maybe I didnt see right Do you have any paper towels there?

Lu Wenhao raised his head and looked at him strangely. Paper towels? What do you need them for?

To wipe away sweat.

Lu Wenhao laughed, Do you not have clothes or something, since when were you that particular?

Jing Huan thought that he mustve had a brain fart to have asked Lu Wenhao.

Not far away, several girls chatted in a low voice.

Jing Huan finished playing, go quickly

ah

.

I dare not

Theres nothing to be afraid of, youre just giving him water!

Before, there was another girl who tried to give him water, but he wouldnt take it.

That girl mustve not been pretty. You can do it. Go quickly, if you keep dawdling, hell leave soon

The girl had just finished talking when she felt like a gust of wind had blown past her. She instinctively looked up and saw the back of a person with wide shoulders and long legs.

She was stunned for a few seconds, immediately recognizing the person, and said in surprise, Why is Xiang Huaizhi at this basketball court?

Before she had finished speaking, she closed her mouth.

Only to see Xiang Huaizhi walk over to Jing Huans side and hand him a bottle of mineral water.

The two girls were dumbfounded.

Lu Wenhao was dumbfounded.

Jing Huan was also dumbfounded.

After a while, Xiang Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and asked, Dont want it?

Want it, of course he wanted it.

Even if Xiang Huaizhi handed him a bottle of poison right now, he would take it.

Thank you. Jing Huan unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half the bottle in one go. Because he was in a hurry, water spilled from the corner of his mouth and slipped all the way down to his Adams apple.

Xiang Huaizhis eyes became half-lidded, and he again thought of yesterdays dream.

Lu Wenhao asked, Xiang Ge, why are you here?

Looking for him. Xiang Huaizhi answered.

Jing Huans heart thumped.

Oh no.

It couldnt have been that, when Xiang Huaizhi went back last night, he thought about it more and then realized his loss, and thus backed out of his promise,

ba

?

His mind was still on yesterdays awkward scene. After drinking half of the bottle of water, he stopped, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth. Whats the matter

ah

? Ge.

Xiang Huaizhi frowned and asked, Do you have cla.s.s in the afternoon?

Jing Huans heart was a bit fl.u.s.tered, and he subconsciously wanted to tell another lie.

His simple roommate pulled him back from the wrong path.

No

ah

, we dont have any cla.s.s at all today. Lu Wenhao said.

Jing Huan swallowed the word have and nodded. No cla.s.s

Xiang Huaizhi put his hand back into his pocket to take something out.

Jing Huan stared at his pocket without blinking.

That pocket size, unlikely to be able to fit a rod or a big knife. At most. at most its probably something like a pocket knife

f.u.c.k, a pocket knife was also very scary

ah

!

In just two seconds, the barrage of thoughts in Jing Huans brain nearly blanketed his entire world.

Xiang Huaizhi took out his cellphone.

He lowered his head, held it in his hand, and pressed it several times, before proferring it up for Jing Huan to see.

Jing Huan looked down and saw a whole list of movie times.

Then, go and see a movie? Xiang Huaizhi asked.

Jing Huan:

Lu Wenhao was sitting at the side, and he glanced at Jing Huan, then glanced at Xiang Huaizhi. His little eyes were full of big doubts.

Lu Wenhao leaned over to have a look. There havent been any good movies recently.

None that you like? Xiang Huaizhi asked.

Lu Wenhao stuttered, Ah, I

Jing Huan glanced at the movie posters and didnt even look at the names carefully before tentatively saying, The second one is okay

ba

, do you want to see that one?

Xiang Huaizhi let out an en sound, Then, Ill book the tickets.

Lu Wenhao exclaimed, The second one? Isnt that a romance movie?

Xiang Huaizhi opened the seat selection menu. Sit in the front or the back?

Back, said Jing Huan, Get a neck ache from watching in front.

Lu Wenhao:

Xiang Huaizhi asked, Then 3:30 pm, see you at the theater?

Okay, Jing Huan answered.

Some time after Xiang Huaizhi walked away, Lu Wenhao was still sitting there in a daze.

Jing Huan finished resting and picked up his coat. Im leaving.

Wait a minute, Lu Wenhao grabbed his coat and asked, Dont you dislike going to the theater?

There was a movie theater near their school, but Jing Huan had found that d.i.n.ky theaters seats too small, and had never gone there a second time.

Its crowded when sitting with you, but its not crowded when sitting with Xiang Huaizhi.

Lu Wenhao was stupefied for a moment, and immediately chased after him and hooked him by his neck. f.u.c.k, watch out for my fist!

*

When Xiang Huaizhi arrived at the cinema, Jing Huan had already picked up the tickets and was waiting at the door.

The boy was wearing a black overcoat and the scarf he had given him.

Wait long? As he drew near, he could smell the fragrance of Jing Huans body wash.

Jing Huan looked up from the movie theater flyer and replied, No, I just arrived.

Jing Huan closed the flyer, looked left and right, took a step forward, and whispered, But why do I feel like We dont quite fit in

ah

.

Xiang Huaizhi looked around. Today wasnt the weekend, but there were still a lot of people in the cinema. There were only couples for all the eye could see, with not one single person anywhere.

How dont we fit in? Xiang Huaizhi looked away. Were also two people.

How does that count as the same?

Jing Huan glanced at the time. Im going to buy snacks. What do you like to eat?

Ill buy it, Xiang Huaizhi said.

No, said Jing Huan, You bought the movie tickets, Ill buy the food.

Xiang Huaizhi paused, Then, you can buy whatever you want.

As soon as Jing Huan came to the counter, the staff member smiled and asked, h.e.l.lo, what can I do for you?

Jing Huan said, Let me see your set meals.

The staff member immediately pointed to the billboard nearby. Today our theater has Valentines Day specials! We just came out with a new couple set meal: two cups of c.o.ke with popcorn and a rose for just

35 yuan

.

Jing Huan was confused. Valentines Day special?

Wasnt it December? It couldnt even count as the

Qixi festival

, where did Valentines Day come from?

The 14th of every month counts as Valentines Day, so today is Valentines day, and we have special offers, the staff member explained

Jing Huan: So gaudy.

He couldnt help looking at the billboard again, before quickly looking away.

This was a couple set meal, what were he and Xiang Huaizhi trying to b.u.t.t in for?

Then, how much is the regular double set meal? He asked.

58

, said the staff member.

f.u.c.k.

There was too much of a d.a.m.n difference there.

Are you guys usually so greedy when selling things

ba

???

Xiang Huaizhi was sitting in the waiting area. He was looking at the flyer that Jing Huan had handed to him when his cellphone suddenly vibrated.

Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldnt Get Lost: Xiangxiang, today is our cla.s.s monitors birthday, and hes inviting us all out to have barbecue in the evening.

Xiang: Busy.

Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldnt Get Lost: Youre not even coming to our cla.s.s monitors birthday? What did you leave to do?

Xiang: A date.

Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldnt Get Lost: ?

Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldnt Get Lost: ?????

Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldnt Get Lost: f.u.c.k, youre cheating? Are you really cheating??? No way Who are you on a date with? Someone from our school? Which year? An older girl or a younger one

ah

? Do I know them?

Xiang: Help me say happy birthday to our cla.s.s monitor for me.

Little Road Little Road Certainly Wouldnt Get Lost: You answer me! Who are you on a date with AHHHH!!!

His cellphone was vibrating constantly. It annoyed Xiang Huaizhi, so he directly set his phone to Do Not Disturb.

A red rose appeared in his sight.

Xiang Huaizhi was surprised and lifted his head.

Jing Huan was holding the popcorn with some difficulty. Today the theater is having an event, and I just bought a couples set meal

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Huaizhi took the popcorn and the rose. Thank you.

Jing Huan:

Jing Huan: ?

He just couldnt hold everything himself and had wanted Xiang Huaizhi to help him out a bit.

What was the thank you for?

Jing Huan didnt dare to say or ask anything and just sat down in silence.

Ten minutes before the opening of the movie, Jing Huan had just taken a sip of c.o.ke when his cellphone rang.

Jing Huan took it out and looked at it with a slightly stiff expression. Its Lu Ge.

When he got up this morning, he had received a message from Lu Hang, asking for the contact information of his roommate with a domineering voice.

Although he didnt know what had happened, it was obvious that Xiang Huaizhi hadnt exposed him.

With this kind of shameful thing, just getting found out once was bad enough. If Lu Hang or Lu Wenhao found out He may want to take a temporary leave of absence from school.

Whatever the case, Xiang Huaizhi was a really good person.

Xiang Huaizhi held the rose stem and played with it, his index finger gently tapped on the petal and he didnt say anything.

After a moment, Jing Huan read the message from Lu Hang and asked with wide eyes, Ge, why didnt you agree to Immortal Mengmeng

ah

, its 5000 yuan a head!

Although it wasnt a lot of money, the good point was that it was basically just a freebie, and only fools wouldnt take it.

5000 to kill them once, and 10,000 to do it twice. Our team has five people, so each person can get 2000!

Shes increased it to

7000

now!

Ge, do you think its too troublesome? In fact, itd be fine if I operated two accounts and went myself. Of course, your money will go to you, and my money will also go to you Ge?

Having gotten no response, Jing Huan raised his head doubtfully.

Xiang Huaizhi lifted his eyes and looked at him lazily. He didnt have a very friendly look in his eyes.

Jing Huan: ?

Did he say something wrong?

Jing Huan began to think about what he had just said, but he didnt think any part of it was wrong.

It couldnt be that Xiang Huaizhi found that this reward too low? But, the price for this kind of thing was well known by all NCH players, and the reward being offered was already sky-high.

Just as he was pondering on it, a very unreasonable idea suddenly appeared in his head.

Jing Huan himself was shocked by his own idea and even wanted to laugh.

What kind of mess is he thinking about

While Jing Huan was internally laughing at himself for his flight of fancy, he sat forward a bit.

After a long time, he tentatively called out in a very low voice, Gege?

Then, he saw Xiang Huaizhi look up with his eyes lighting up, and with a tone that sounded full of satisfaction, he answered softly, En?

Juurensha

: A movie date! And I love Lu Hang panicking in the background.

Lu Hang: Xiangxiang! XIANG HUAIZHI! ANSWER MEEEEEE!!!

Divi

: Be that bro like Lu Hang, who doesnt approve of cheating so he pesters XHZ. The emperor is not worried, but his eunuchs are worried to death. Also huanhuan, you really gonna cheap out on 20 yuan?? Now XHZ is thinking youre courting him.
