Chapter 36 – Those Years of Being Imaginary Lovers

Jian Songyi is very fond of silk pajamas. Although they are not that practical, they are very comfortable for him. It’s just that they’re easy to slip off and they can’t hide anything.

If during the military training, Jian Songyi guessed that Bai Huai did not find it, then this time, he was sure that Bai Huai did.

Because he also discovered Bai Huai.

The blood welled up Jian Songyi’s cheeks, but he pretended to be calm in front of Bai Huai’s face: “Good morning. In the morning, this is normal, which means… It means we are both in good health. “

Bai Huai nodded and said calmly, “Well spirited.”

Jian Songyi’s face becomes even hotter, but he feels if he didn’t look calmer than Bai Huai, then he would not look good. Usually, guys their age are unwilling to show that they’re weak in front of anyone. 

So Jian Songyi raised his brow at him, pretending to be indifferent and impatient: “What do you mean spirited? Why are you still here? Do you want to take advantage of me?”

Bai Huai looks at him with his squinted eyes. “Do you want me to make a move?” He asked lazily.

“Damn it!” Jian Songyi couldn’t stand it anymore and kicked Bai Huai. “I want you to get out of here!” He demanded.

But Bai Huai’s reflexes are fast enough that he managed to turn to the side and dodge his kick just in time. He then gets out of bed with a smile playing across his lips. “Young man, don’t be so angry.” He said as he walked ever so slowly to the bathroom and then closed the door.

Jian Songyi shifted over and buried himself under the blankets. He covered his face with his hands as he was too ashamed to speak and fireback at him. 

He just said that he had recently been affected by O sex hormones, which was a little wrong. WhenBai Huai pressed himself against him just now, he actually felt that he smelled like A… This damned hormone has turned him into an old animal of the same breed as Lu Qi Feng.

But how can Jian Songyi have evil thoughts about Bai Huai?

How can he have evil thoughts about Bai Huai just because he is good-looking?

When Bai Huai differentiated, it was given that he is hot, good-looking, and just so attractive. Does that mean, he also gets bad thoughts about himself?

No.

Therefore, Jian Songyi suspected that if it were not for the morning routine of young men, Bai Huai would not have had any reaction to this kind of sexual coldness at all.

This makes him look even more sinful.

Jian Songyi buried his face against his palms as he tries to cover himself while wishing to die on the spot.

Fuck it, don’t worry about the difference between AO. Can Jian Songyi somehow ignore it?

He felt his face hurting as it heats too much.

Just in time when Bai Huai came out of the bathroom, he looks so relaxed as if he was an ostrich strolling. 

Fear really shamed people to death that out of the blue, Jian Songyi spoke: “Normally, I just have differentiated, and because of that, my hormones are still unstable and easy to fluctuate. But I will be able to handle this in the future. This is normal for a newly developed young male. This is just a response in line with the laws of the human body. I don’t have to think too much. I am half as good as the others so no one will laugh at me.”

Jian Songyi’s voice was cold and slow as if he is reciting or reading something out of a textbook.

He then turned around to face Bai Huai as if nothing had happened. “Who’s thinking too much? I need to go to the bathroom. Why are you even taking so long in there? Ugh. You are suffocating me.” 

Bai Huai raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

And because of this glance, Jian Songyi was suddenly enlightened. “Shit! Don’t tell me you’ve just buried thousands of your children and grandchildren in my bathroom?! My bathroom is not clean anymore!”

Bai Huai: “…..”

As he watches Jian Songyi be hysterical over nothing, he had chosen not to speak.

When Bai Huai did not protest, Jian Songyi got out of bed and walked into the bathroom sadly, only to find out that the bathroom was cold and there was no heat at all. Bai Huai’s hair was obviously wet just now.

So this guy…

Jian Songyi would really need to keep it in, but he suddenly felt like going wild now.

Bai Huai is really playing him dirty. He is not pure at all!

He squatted over and covered his face as he tried to calm himself. He is now afraid to even look in the mirror.

By the time he finished and came out of the shower, Bai Huai had already changed his clothes.

For some reason, instead of wearing the clean clothes that Jian Songyi took out, he made do with his own clothes of yesterday.

The silver button of the white shirt that he is wearing was properly fastened all the way to the top while his gold glasses were taken out of his bag and mounted on the bridge of his nose. Bai Huai looks as dapper and sexy as he was at yesterday’s KTV.

Bai Huai is sitting at his desk in front of the window as he leans over at the back of the chair. He flips through the pages of the book without expression on his face, showing what seems to be the transparency of the sun.

Alienated, Jian Songyi was suddenly a little lost on what to say or do.

It seems that the hustle and bustle of last night and the absurdity of the scene just now are nothing but a drunken farce.

When the farce is over and the curtain was lowered, the actors return to their original appearances.

There’s nothing left. Nothing matters.

All emotions come to an abrupt end, and those unclear emotions are just their own inner play.

And Bai Huai has always been a reasonable guest.

Jian Songyi feels that this kind of Bai Huai is reasonable, so reasonable that those unreasonable subtle chemical reactions are so whitewashed and deliberately forgotten.

Jian Songyi was relieved for a moment. He breathes a sigh of relief before walking over to Bai Huai as he dries his hair. “What are you looking at ?”

“Your physics problem book is very interesting. I haven’t seen these kinds of questions before.”

“Oh, these are all competition questions. They’re in the top-tier class. I didn’t even learn in high school.” Jian Songyi said as he shook his head twice and deliberately flew the water droplets to Bai Huai.

BaI Huai scooted to the side as he stretched out his long arm to place his hand on top of Jian Songyi’s head. He then could not help but laugh: “Are pupils still playing this kind of game? When is the national competition?”

“December”

“Can you win the prize?”

“Nonsense. If I don’t win first place in the country to take to Huaqing, I would be very ashamed of myself that I won’t be able to meet anyone anymore.” Jian Songyi said in a bragging tone as if asking to be taught a lesson.

Bai Huai felt that fortunately, the man had been thrown into the army to practice his good skills since childhood, otherwise it would have been a miracle to live unharmed to the age of 17.

Bai Huai then casually asked: “Since you can definitely walk this through, why are you still torturing yourself by doing Chinese? You kept reading the questions every day.”

By hearing this, Jian Songyi knocked off Bai Huai’s hand against his head and looked at him seriously: “Walking through high school is one this, and beating you out of the first rank is another. Although we are brothers, I am bound to get the top spot back.”

“It’s going to be a little difficult. I’ve made rapid progress in the ensemble already.”

“Oh, it’s easy for you to rely on the ensemble of the joint entrance exam. When you see how sick the group leader of our grade is, you should call me dad.”

Jian Songyi is not bragging for nothing. The group leader might be abnormal, but if Jian Songyi could learn something from him then he could score more than 290 and easily pull the gap apart.

The probability of him taking the top spot is much higher than Bai Huai’s.

And besides, before that there was no competition, he didn’t think much about his Chinese scores. But since Bai Huai arrived and has become the driving force, he figured that he should improve it to beat him for sure. Although Jian Songyi could still not guess what the author is thinking, he has learned to apply template reasoning answers like a set of formulas.

The speed of progress is too fast for Bai Huai to imagine.

He wants to put his name on the top of the honor list in the monthly exam and put Bai Huai at the bottom to show that group of people who is the first A in Nancheng.

Bai Huai did not refute what he said. He simply withdrew his hand and continued to turn over the problem book: “But can I still borrow this book?”

“Take it. I know all about it anyway. But it must be too late for you to prepare about it now. After all, your science study time is limited and you don’t have competition experience. So, it’s more practical to concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination’s physics.”

“I know it myself. I can only use these questions to broaden my way of thinking, and the difficulty is not something I can easily control now. “

Jian Songyi was pleased to hear this and patted Bai Huai on his shoulder: “Don’t lose heart. Not everyone can be a genius like Brother Song.”

That’s right. God is fair.

If you give someone a paramecium-like right brain, you will naturally compensate him for an Einstein-like left brain.

Bai Huai smiled softly.

 Jian Songyi asked warily, “What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing.” Bai Huai did not want Jian Songyi to be angry with him and changed the subject. “Take a look at your mobile phone. It has been ringing all the time. There should be something wrong. By the way, my phone is out of power. Please find a charger to charge it for me.”

“Oh.” Jian Songyi loosely threw down the towel and put Bai Huai’s mobile phone at the bedside to recharge. He then picked up his own phone and opened it.

The message was sent from the group of seven fairies.

Jian Songyi looked down on this group name, but the group admin, Zhuo Luo, preserved it. Yu Ziguo was very supportive while the other three thought of it as beautiful.

Forget it. Forget about his opinions.

Jian Songyi opened the group chat with a look of disgust.

I am a fat mushroom: [Ha. Brother Song, go and have a look at it, someone says you are in AA love with Master Bai, which makes me laugh to death.].

Cute Little Luoluo: [this is good: I laughed most at the fact that someone actually deeply analyzed that you are not A, but an O. Hahahaha. This is killing me. I am still waiting for Brother Song to split up and chase him. If Brother Song is not A, I will eat three tons of papers.]

Lu Qi Feng: [Even if it’s A you can’t catch up]

Cute little Luoluo: [Why? You look down on me? I am so sweet and lovely!]

Jian Songyi: [What is it about?]

Xu Dashuai: [Brother Song, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I just posted a picture of us last night on moments, and your couple’s bracelet was so conspicuous, and then it happened.].

Xu Jiaxing’s circle of friends is about the same as the publicity department of Nanwai, plus half of the high school liaison department of Nancheng.

The spectacle was so spectacular that Jian Songyi could already imagine it. He frowned discontentedly, looked aside at Bai Huai, and saw him looking down at a book. Only then did he remember that his phone was still charging and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jian Songyi bowed his head and replied quickly: [Xu Jiaxing, you’d better figure out a way to explain it clearly, or you’ll die.]

Xu Dashuai: [Woo, Brother Song, I explained it to them, I really explained! But they don’t believe it! You have no idea how crazy these cp addicts are. I really can’t fight them. Brother Song, please leave me alone.]

I am a fat mushroom: [Anyway, Brother Song, please go and see: cp powder and only powder are battle up. I am laughing to death because of this.]

Jian Songyi: “…..”

Are these people had nothing better to do? Is there too little homework, or is the exam too easy? 

Finally, his eyes rested on the sentence “someone deeply analyzed that you are not an A, but an O”. He copied the text and pasted it on the search bar.

Most of the posts are harmless, nothing more than daily boasting. It’s just a wave of Bai Huai fans all the way to an aesthetic love story with dogs screaming for dog food.

Although these people are talking nonsense, their ideas are quite interesting for Jian Songyi as they have a set of small jokes and light fun about it. He is even quite satisfied with the name Songbai couple. At least he is the one in front of Bai Huai. 

Jian Songyi browsed around with a smile on his lips. 

Finally, he clicked on the most popular post: I am high on double school bully cp for years

Photo: [ A sweet photo of Songbai cp]

The picture showcases Jian Songyi and Bai Huai standing on the street side by side. The dim street lamp’s light is falling among them through the branches and leaves, circling a stage for the two that night. Bai Huai is holding a bear while he has his head tilted. Meanwhile, Jian Songyi has his lips pursed while looking back at Bai Huai. They seemed to be smiling at each other.

At first glance, Jian Songyi can tell that this photo was taken from Yu Ziguo’s mobile phone worth only several hundred yuan due to bad quality, making the photo vague. Because of this, it made other people become more imaginative. Bai Huai’s dead expression became gentle to prove his point.

Jian Songyi is dismissive of the idea, but his fingers continued to scroll through. 

2L: [I recounted that Brother Song is a picky eater and always gets bad stomach aches. That’s why Bai Huai arranges his meals thrice a day, almost coaxing him every time just so Brother Song would eat. Bai Huai would pick out the food Brother Song doesn’t like while not touching a bite of what Brother Song likes.]

3L: [The first thing Bai Huai did after class is to get hot water for Brother Song. He even climbed the wall just to buy stomach medicines. When Brother Song thinks that the medicine would not taste good, Bai Huai secretly gives him a candy (It’s supposed to be a secret but I accidentally found out that Brother SOng likes milk candy! So cute!)]

4L: [Every time Bai Huai does exercises, other students look for Bai Huai while Bai Huai looks for Brother Song. On the contrary, Brother Song looks for Bai Huai. Online double-label! Don’t spoil each other too much.]

5L: [They even go to school together every day. Also, they don’t really have the same room in the military camp, but they ended up being roommates. Isn’t it just Bai Huai doesn’t want Brother Song to share a room with other smelly men?! This damned domineering possessiveness!]

6L: [Excuse me, didn’t you say that Jian Songyi and Bai Huai’s relationship are under the rocks since the two of them are fighting over the school’s top rank? There seems to have been a fight that broke out in the military camp that the two of them went all the way down to the hospital.]

7L: [In my opinion, it’s just a chance for them to flirt. Strolling in the woods is a fun activity for couples.]

8L: [Ah! Worship the love between two high achievers! The high achiever versus the equally achiever who both wanted the first rank their year! It is so exciting!]

9L: [Shit! I thought they don’t have a good relationship at all! Rush the duck! Support the counterattack of Brother Kao Song in the monthly examination!]

……….

79L: [So at the end, who is the top? Is it Bai Huai or Jian Songyi? During the military training they are together, and it was known that they also slept in the same room. Can they physically bare it?]

80L: [No matter which one is the top, don’t you feel sick when you think about it? They’re both Alpha. Isn’t that dirty? Can you really take it? Gosh. I think I am going to vomit.]

81L: [Is there anything strange mixed up in the building? Why do you care if a handsome guy takes candy from another handsome guy? People who think of men as thieves or prostitutes are the ones who are dirty!]

82L: [Who said that they’re Alpha to Alpha? Brother Song is not yet differentiated to Alpha. Do not insult them. Maybe he’d end u as an Omega.]

83L: [My mother told me not to say anything without evidence or insult other genders, but I didn’t know until I grew up that not everyone has a mother.]

84L; [So you’re saying that all people here are orphans? How dare you insult people of the same gender as you when they’re just discussing a random imaginary couple. If you put on a vest, won’t you be a human? Aren’t you just fabricating humor too?]

85L: [Don’t be in a hurry to swear. Let me give you an in-depth analysis. Did Jian Songyi differentiate already? Is there proof of Alpha pheromone on him? Why did they share a room in the military training camp? Why did they go to the hospital all of a sudden? Isn’t he afraid of gender exposure? Moreover, in his fight with Huang Fuyi, he was obviously not used to the pheromone oppression of Alphas.  Had it not been for Bai Huai’s help, he would have been crushed to death. Could this be an Alpha reaction?]

86L: [yo, where’s your brain? Is there such a thing in your Omega head? Can you run five kilometers a day? Can you break the barrier of the running time record? Can your physical fitness tests beat the majority of the Alphas’? Can you beat an Alpha down without pheromones in a fight? If brother Song is really an Omega, then Alphas should not be humans.]

87L: [Our Brother Song is the Alpha on all of the Alphas! Good grades, good physical growth, and popularity! You are all just jealous! Talk nonsense again and I will rip your mouths out! I have to take my pine cub, so he could be beautiful alone.]

88L: [Okay. I don’t know what two Alphas are doing together. But if you say that Jian Songyi is the Alpha among the Alphas then it only means that Bai Huai is the one being oppressed.]

89L: [Are you sick? Are you even a real human? Have you seen Bai Huai?]

……….

Jian Songyi frowned as he tried his best to suppress his anger. 

@Everyone in the Group: [Yu Ziguo, you apply to delete the post yourself, Xu Jiaxing, you find the manager of the post-bar, you should delete the post, and the title should be sealed. And give me those stupid IDs that spit fragrance, I’ll see where the disgusting stuff comes from.]

Jian Songy is aware that he can be a little arrogant as he doesn’t know how to restrain himself. He also has a bad temper and people tend to envy him. It just makes sense that people would want to throw dirty water at him to find a sense of balance.

But what does all this have to do with Bai Huai?

Bai Huai is such a nice person. Why would they say all those stupid things about him? Do they think he deserves it too?

It is even more difficult not to think that Bai Huai is even more involved than him.

He kept refreshing the post-bar page, swiping it down again and again and watching the circle turn over and over. He then sighed in relief when he finally saw the posts on the front page disappear. 

To be honest, he doesn’t care whether everyone would find out that he is an Omega. It was just too troublesome to hide it anyway. He had plenty of ways to teach that group how to not behave like garbage.

But when it comes to Bai Huai, it’s different. He doesn’t want Bai Huai to have anything to do with this foul language, let alone make him unhappy, especially today, he doesn’t want Bai Huai to be even the slightest bit unhappy.

He said that if he wanted to make Bai Huai lucky at the age of 18, he had to be true to his word.

It’s just that growing up, as long as Jian Songyi was unhappy, there was nothing that Bai Huai could not find.

Bai Huai looked up at him, put down the book, and went to the head of the bed. He then picked up his charging phone and turned it on.

The first pop-up message is [Ice Cream Xiaoyuanzi]: [Sisters! I’m furious! I can’t believe someone took my cub and Bai Huai’s cp! Although I have no malice towards Bai Huai and have had a good sense of him recently, my cub is not yet an adult. I can’t let this happen!]

[Ice cream Xiaoyuanzi]: [I’ll send you the link, please help me with it. There is no need to scold Bai Huai. If you meet those who say AA is disgusting, scold them! Although I don’t like Bai Huai, it’s not their turn to spray dung! Also, remember the review, our cub is the most A: the best and the cutest. I just want them to learn. Gosh. I am so exasperated.]

[ice cream Xiaoyuanzi]: .

Bai Huai clicked it to get in.

The post has been deleted.

It just so happens that the group chat has been pushed through at the same time.

[loose]: [Yu Ziguo, you apply to delete the post yourself, Xu Jiaxing, you find the manager of the post-bar, you should delete the post, the title should be sealed, and give me those stupid ID that spits fragrance., I’ll see where the disgusting stuff comes from.]

Bai Huai felt nausea.

Bai Huai read it and he looked over at Jian Songyi with his head tilted. 

Jian Songyi was sitting at the edge of his bed with his elbow resting on his knees. His upper body is slightly bowed while his fingers are typing vigorously against the screen. Not to mention the fact that his lips are unpleasantly pursed into a straight line. He looks fierce while his good-looking eyebrows are furrowed to resemble an unconcealed cold and grumpy look.

Jian Songyi is a person that can take jokes, and Yu Ziguo’s post can’t be too malicious. But either way, he has to use his contacts to delete the post.

It could only mean one thing: He doesn’t really like the topic.

Bai Huai turned off his cellphone and said nothing while he sat back against his previous spot.

He bowed his head and plucked the grape stone on his wrist.

It’s a turquoise-looking grape, after all. Therefore, they’re not ripe.

But Bai Huai could not bear to give up that sweet taste. 

……….

Translator’s Note:

I really hope they get together soon! This is so frustrating already. ;^;

Also, a big thanks to Mitoio for always leaving nice comments and giving me the heads up for my typos and errors. Thank you!
