Ch125 - Li Chengyan/Xie Yu (3)

Translator: Mogumoguchan

Editor: Sarcasm 

Xie Yu’s mother returned to the living room and did not notice the strange the atmosphere between the two. She just served Li Chengyan. 

It had been a long time since they last met, so Xie Yu’s mother held Li Chengyan’s hand and asked him all sorts of questions. She almost made him stay overnight as well. 

Xie Yu knew that if she really asked, Li Chengyan would most likely not reject the offer. 

While they sat at the dining table, Xie Yu’s mother laughed about all the things they did in the past. But she was the only one who thought they were jokes.  

With his chin on his palm, Li Chengyan cooperated with her and listened to her with a smile.

It had been a long time since Xie Yu’s mother had someone who was willing to listen to her blab. Xie Yu was the type to get impatient after listening to her talk even a little. 

When compared to him, she found Li Chengyan to be even more pleasant to the eye. 

He came from a good family, had good looks, and was cultured. He was leagues ahead of her careless son. 

As he listened to his mother talk nonstop about his past and how many times he had wet the bed, Xie Yu shoved food into his mouth and nearly buried his face in the bowl. 

“Xie Yu was immature back then.” Xie Yu’s mother teased him with a smile, “Don’t mind it, Chengyan. If you do, you can just kiss him.”

With Xie Yu’s mother’s permission in hand, Li Chengyan smiled faintly. He stared at Xie Yu like an eagle stares at the rabbit. 

It made Xie Yu’s skin crawl and his Adam’s apple bob.  

‘How could his mother betray him like this?!’

……

They finished dinner. Xie Yu did not eat much. He was already full by listening to his mother’s stories about him. 

It was only now that he realized just how outrageous he had been during kindergarten.  

Before puberty, Li Chengyan had been fair and lean, and had beautiful facial features. Because of this, Xie Yu treated him as the cutest omega in the class and liked him very much. 

Hence, Li Chengyan, who had tested alpha at birth, was treated as an omega by the silly boy. 

Xie Yu often kissed Li Chengyan’s cheek which terrified the “sweet omega”. 

Later on, Li Chengyan’s family moved away and he switched schools. Xie Yu never met him again after that, until now.  

As he listened to his mother give lively descriptions of how much he bullied Li Chengyan and how pitiful Li Chengyan had been, Xie Yu felt guilty. 

While his mother was cleaning the dishes, Xie Yu approached Li Chengyan with regret in his heart, and he asked him quietly, “How exactly did I bully you?”

Li Chengyan glanced at him and said airily, “You kissed me.”

Xie Yu did not want to hear this. “What else?” 

But Li Chengyan just continued repeating this, “You kissed me.”

It did not matter how many other ways Xie Yu bullied him. This was the most important thing. 

Xie Yu felt like he was about to go mad as he stared at his handsome face. It was completely different from how a sweet omega should look like. 

“Didn’t you kiss me back? We’re even now, okay?” Xie Yu asked.

“…We’re not even.” Li Chengyan picked up the cup from the table and took a sip. He breezily said, “You kissed me loads of times, and I only kissed you once. Are you sure we’re even?”

Xie Yu quietly sized up Li Chengyan and frowned. He suddenly came to a realization. 

Did this guy… have some sort of cognitive disorder in regards to genders because of him?

Xie Yu was really difficult to deal with when he was younger, so much so that his mother had wanted to beat him up several times a day. Li Chengyan was treated as an omega despite being an alpha, so it was possible that Li Chengyan really had some sort of mental problems because of it. 

As he stared at Li Chengyan cross his leg with a devil-may-care attitude, Xie Yu pursed his lips.  

Did Li Chengyan come here to take revenge or make him take responsibility?

……

Perhaps it was because his mother talked too much, but that night, while dreaming, Xie Yu finally remembered the past. 

He remembered a beautiful and fair omega in his class who looked really cute. He was also gentle and did not speak much. But Xie Yu liked him very much and shared his snacks with him. He also said that he would marry him when he grew up.  

But whenever he said this, the omega would cry and say he was an alpha.

Xie Yu would frown, but would not think too much of it. He instead took it as a joke; he was so cute, so he was definitely an omega. 

As the dream progressed, he pinned the sweet omega against the wall, and when he saw the omega’s panicked and teary eyes, he puckered his lips and wanted to kiss his cheek, but the sweet omega’s face suddenly turned into Li Chengyan’s face. 

What the heck!  

Xie Yu opened his eyes and woke up. He was covered in a layer of cold sweat. 

He gasped and laid in bed for a while. After he gradually calmed down, he used the back of his hand to wipe his forehead. He then grabbed the glass on his bedside cabinet and drank from it. 

The dream was too scary. 

Now that Li Chengyan had grown up, Xie Yu could not win against him. Who would have thought that the wimpy omega in the past was actually an alpha and he grew up looking like a heartbreaker.  

‘Oh no, oh no, oh no! I’m really done for this time!’

Xie Yu scratched his hair. 

The second before he woke up, he still longed for the beautiful omega and his beautiful first love. It might be a bit too early in terms of age, but it could still be considered as young love of an ignorant child. 

‘What’s going on? Oh my gosh, my dream omega is actually Li Chengyan!’ 

But no matter what, he was in the wrong for bullying him. 

Now that he calmed down and thought about it, Xie Yu remembered that Li Chengyan had not done anything out of bounds or disgusting, aside from kissing him. 

No matter how he thought about it, he still felt that he had done more wrongs to Li Chengyan. Xie Yu decided to think of something to make up to Li Chengyan so that once they’re even, they would no longer bother each other. 

“You want to make it up to me?” 

Li Chengyan put his hands in his pockets and stared at the dumb block who just refused to see the light. He felt a little unhappy as well. 

Even if he did not want Li Chengyan to kiss him, he should not have told him that he would be his lackey to make it up to him, right? Just how unromantic was he?

Li Chengyan remained silent for a while before he said, “You once asked me why I changed partners frequently, right?”

Xie Yu nodded his head in confusion.  

“…It’s all because of you.” Li Chengyan gritted his teeth. “I can’t seem to be a proper alpha anymore.”

Xie Yu stared at him in shock. 

‘Oh my gosh. I caused Li Chengyan to be unable to be a proper alpha! It’s that bad?!’

Regret rose in an instant in his heart. Xie Yu really did not expect that his thoughtless actions would cause such a big effect on Li Chengyan.  

Just when he was feeling lost, Li Chengyan said as he stared at him, “But I think I’ve managed to learn how to be a proper alpha because of you.”

Xie Yu’s throat turned dry. “W-What do you want to do?”

‘Is he sick in the head?’

As he saw Xie Yu timidly moving back, Li Chengyan grabbed the hem of his shirt. “Don’t go. Didn’t you say you’d be my lackey to make it up to me?” 

Xie Yu stared at him for two seconds before he decided to give up and simply grovel.

He could be Li Chengyan’s lackey, but he could not sell his body. 

But before he could verbalize his intentions, Li Chengyan grabbed his arm and pulled him up. He then dragged Xie Yu in front of him. 

“You don’t have to be in such a hurry to let me mount you,” Li Chengyan teased him by his ear. 

Xie Yu had watched his dad’s porn stash when he was around ten, so there was no way he would not know what Li Chengyan meant. He simultaneously felt embarrassed and angry. 

He stuttered, “Th-Then, what do you want?” Xie Yu braced himself and asked. 

When he saw how pitiful Xie Yu looked, Li Chengyan reached out and smoothed out his collar. He sighed and said, “I’m not going to bully you. Just knit a scarf for me.”

‘Knit? A scarf?’ 

Xie Yu stared at him and did not know what he was trying to do. 

A few days ago, Yan Qiu had asked him to buy yarn as well, so he was most likely going to knit something for Ji Xinglan. Now Li Chengyan said the same thing. He connected the two things together. 

Xie Yu mocked him, “What? Is the young master afraid of the cold in the winter and want scarves?”

Li Chengyan answered calmly, “Are you going to knit it? It’s fine even if you don’t. I can have you make it up to me in another way.” 

When he saw Li Chengyan staring at his lips with malicious intent, Xie Yu quickly covered his mouth and took half a step back. He gave up and nodded. “I’ll knit it, alright? I’ll do it.”

Li Chengyan was satisfied, but Xie Yu was not. 

He gritted his teeth and intentionally chose the color that would make people die if they wore it in public—barbie pink. 

‘Knit, my foot.’ 

During that period of time, Yan Qiu came over to ask him questions when he saw him knitting a scarf as well, but Xie Yu found it too embarrassing to tell him just who he was knitting the scarf for. 

Even though he was coerced into it, he was still worried that Yan Qiu would misunderstand his relationship with Li Chengyan. 

Xie Yu learned how to knit from his mother. In the class, he would hide in a corner no one would notice and knit. 

Once he finished knitting the pink scarf, Xie Yu brought it to Li Chengyan, thinking about revenge. He wanted to enjoy his expressions, but did not expect Li Chengyan to take it happily.  

Not only did he take it, he actually had the guts to wear it. 

The next day, Xie Yu saw Li Chengyan wearing the pink scarf in the field. Similar to him, Ji Xinglan was also wearing a hobo scarf. Both of them were playing soccer like happy idiots.

Looking at the scene, Xie Yu simply crossed his arm and gave up. He turned his head around and saw Yan Qiu looking similarly absolutely speechless. 

…… 

However, their strange relationship did not get better because of that scarf. Instead, it became even weirder. 

Once he found a legit reason for him to bother Xie Yu, Li Chengyan started coming around once every few days. 

And since he had bullied Li Chengyan when they were young, Xie Yu endured it. 

Then one day, Xie Yu woke up from a dream covered in sweat and with a realization that something was off.  

He might have been affected by Li Chengyan. But the lovers in his dreams were no longer curvy ladies with 36D, they had all turned into Li Chengyan. 

This dream was far too terrifying for a straight alpha and had shocked him awake. 

Xie Yu felt guilty, and he felt even more embarrassed to see Li Chengyan. 

He already bullied him that way when he was young, and now, even after he grew up, he still had that sort of dream about him. If Li Chengyan learned about it, he would definitely beat him up.  

Meanwhile, Li Chengyan was puzzled. Their relationship had finally changed for the better, but for some reason, Xie Yu had started to avoid him again. 

He could not tolerate it. So one day he trapped Xie Yu in his classroom. 

Xie Yu took a step back and Li Chengyan took a corresponding step forward. When he could no longer move back, Xie Yu was forced to sit on the table with his legs open. It put him in an even more passive position. 

Li Chengyan slowly leaned forward until both their noses were practically touching. But before he could say anything, he saw Xie Yu’s cheeks strangely turn red.  

Li Chengyan immediately laughed and asked, “Why has your face turned so red?”

“…What are you thinking about?” 

They were in a classroom and someone could pass by outside at any time. Xie Yu tugged at his shirt, panicking a little. 

“What do you want me to do?” But Li Chengyan just smiled. “Your face turned red the moment you saw me. Do you like me, Xie Yu?” 

“Dream on.” Even if he was pinned, Xie Yu refused to lose in a verbal battle. 

But Li Chengyan did not care about what he said. He drew even closer and secured Xie Yu against the table. 

Li Chengyan’s kissing skills were good. He held Xie Yu’s face with one hand and moved his moist and soft lips against Xie Yu’s lips. 

Xie Yu was inexperienced. Soon, his legs turned into jelly, and he could not help but hold Li Chengyan’s shoulders and moan. Yet even so, he did not forget to try and gain a verbal advantage. “It’s impossible that I’d like you. But I can consider topping you.” 

Li Chengyan narrowed his eyes and grinned. He looked a little dangerous. 

Three seconds later, Xie Yu’s shrieks rang through the classroom. “Hey hey hey! Bro, I’m sorry! Bro! Please! Don’t touch that place!”

“Oh~” Li Chengyan grinned and stopped. “You shout so prettily. Do it again.”

Xie Yu was so exasperated that he wanted to hit Li Chengyan, but Li Chengyan simply held his wrists down so that he could not move.  

Darn it. These military school students are so powerful. 

Xie Yu looked up and saw Li Chengyan propping his hands against the table while he stared at him from above. He smiled in a really annoying fashion. “Call me honey and I’ll stop bullying you.”

Mogumoguchan: Xie Yu, you’re just handing yourself over on a silver platter here!

Sarcasm: He subconsciously decorated it too!
