Aristocrat Boys School

Chapter 114 Starry Sky

The number of stores he walked into on this day was more than the number of stores Jian Chi had visited in the past year, or even three years. He was not a person who was keen on shopping. Every time he went to the mall, he usually went straight to a destination. However, Shao Hang made Jian Chi realize that there would really be people who would walk in and look at things from store to store.

Jian Chi comforted himself and went shopping with him, all as a thank you to Shao Hang. In the end, he stood in front of the full-length mirror wearing the clothes selected by Shao Hang, and listened to the lavish praise from the shopping clerk, feeling his mind shook. Was it really that good-looking? He was caught off guard when he heard Shao Hang’s words, ‘Wrap it all up’, and then he woke up in an instant.

What happened? Wasn’t he shopping with Shao Hang?

The speed of Shao Hang’s payment seemed to be afraid of being robbed by others. No matter which store he went to, the shopping clerk who originally wore a professional smile would always burst into laughter. It was too late for Jian Chi to stop him. Shao Hang already had a few more shopping bags in his hand. He could not wait to grab Shao Hang’s collar and shake it back and forth, telling him that what he spent was money, not paper.

“Don’t buy it,” Jian Chi persuaded tiredly, even if he had a hunch that Shao Hang would not listen, “I just promised you to wear it to see the effect, I can’t wear clothes like this at all, it’s a waste to buy them.”

Shao Hang held five or six bags in one hand, and the other free hand scraped the back of Jian Chi’s hand from time to time. He snorted twice, “It makes me happy.”

The person paying was so righteous, so Jian Chi didn’t know what to say, he refused in three stages: “Don’t give it to me, it’s yours if you paid for it, and leave it at yours.”

“Okay.”

Just when Jian Chi was surprised when Shao Hang was so easy to talk to, he heard the second half of his sentence: “Anyway, my things are yours.”

“…” He really shouldn’t have expectations.

Under all kinds of obstructions, Shao Hang finally restrained the speed of swiping the card a little, but only slightly. In fact, Jian Chi was not only troubled by these expensive gifts, but what he was most worried about was that the connection between him and Shao Hang would become closer and closer, and he wouldn’t know how to distinguish the boundaries in the end.

After visiting the whole mall, Jian Chi felt that his feet were not his, and he was drowsy in the car. When he was awakened by Shao Hang’s voice, the sky outside the window revealed a dim yellow that was only present in the evening. Jian Chi asked in a daze: “Have we arrived at school?”

Shao Hang’s lips opened and closed in the field of vision: “Taking you to dinner. “

The restaurant was located on the terrace on the top floor, which can perfectly overlook the most central bay in Chuanlin and the bustling high-rise buildings on the shore. Almost all the guests were aa man and a woman. When he was drinking water to relieve himself, his eyes caught the young waiter playing the violin not far away. After staying for three more seconds, Shao Hang’s chair made a ‘squeak–‘, blocking Jian Chi’s vision.

Shao Hang held the menu, and the smile on his lips made Jian Chi’s heart chill, “What were you looking at? Why didn’t you answer when I asked you what you would like to eat?”

Jian Chi’s eyes twitched, “I didn’t hear.”

Shao Hang looked like he didn’t believe it, and soon invited the waiter to order. After saying the name of the dish, he said something extra to the other person’s ear. The waiter nodded and stepped back with the two menus. After five minutes, the original sound of the violin stopped abruptly, and soon, the melodious sound of a piano replaced it.

Jian Chi, who witnessed everything, of course realized what Shao Hang said just now, and understood why he did it. He leaned back in his chair and asked, “Why are you so childish?” 

Without accusation or dissatisfaction, Jian Chi felt more helpless and that it was a joke, mixed with a hint of subtlety for unknown reasons. Even though Shao Hang was exposed, he didn’t appear off at all. He looked even more arrogant than Jian Chi. “The violin is off-putting, but the piano is comfortable. Why? Do you want to change it back?” 

His eyes had ‘say it and you’re done’ written all over it. Jian Chi took a sip of tea and replied ‘whatever’. He didn’t have the ability to see everything in other ways like Shao Hang at all. He just thought that the other party was playing it very well, but compared to Ji Huaisi, it was still a lot worse.

He didn’t know if Ji Huaisi was also worried about him now.

The scenery and food made the atmosphere just right, but what Jian Chi was thinking about was to hurry up and go back after eating. If it was a little later, the people in the school would find out that he had disappeared. Shao Hang may have seen his mood, or he may have been tired after walking all day, he talked a little less than initially. When they left the restaurant, Shao Hang’s voice suddenly sounded: “You didn’t look up just now.”

Jian Chi was stunned for a moment, “What?”

“I heard that this restaurant was a good place to watch the stars, so I brought you here. I mentioned it once just now, but you kept your head down and didn’t look at it.”

Jian Chi looked at the night sky subconsciously, but he had missed the best viewing position, and the scene in front of him was as bland as usual. When he lowered his head, his eyes met Shao Hang’s. Shao Hang’s well-versed eyes flashed with loneliness and self-deprecation, which made Jian Chi’s heart skip a beat.

“Sorry, I forgot.” Jian Chi recalled that Shao Hang did mention it casually once, but he didn’t pay attention. In other words, Jian Chi never thought that Shao Hang would say that on purpose.

After a brief silence, Shao Hang walked in front of him and stared into Jian Chi’s eyes, as if he wanted to confirm the matter that was repeated one hundred times, “Jian Chi, I said I would not give up.”

In the first sentence, Jian Chi wanted to avoid his gaze.

“I don’t care for that person with the surname Ji, and I don’t care what other people think, anyways, I have all the patience until you accept it,” Shao Hang said in a deep voice, “Ji Huaisi is a hypocritical hypocrite who refuses to admit it. You like the tenderness he has shown, I can do it. Whatever you want, I can do it better than him. He will not break his own rules for you, he will only make you conform to his rules, and only someone like Shen Shuting, who smells like him, can endure someone like Ji Huaisi.”

All in all, to express the central point: he was better than him.

Jian Chi wanted to refute, but he couldn’t speak. Shao Hang raised his lips, “Not to mention you don’t like him that much, do you? He must have seen it long ago, and used various means to deceive you. Pitiful.”

“It’s not like this…”

Besides these four words, he swallowed his answer in silence.

What Shao Hang said was not wrong, and Jian Chi didn’t even see it as clearly as Shao Hang. He likes Ji Huaisi, and this kind of love was like a budding seedling. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered the courage to agree to ‘try it’.

Jian Chi thought that feelings could be cultivated, and it was true, but the endless troubles in the cultivation process made it more and more difficult for him to make firm his initial choice, and he couldn’t understand the real Ji Huaisi more and more. This uncertainty pervaded this uncertain relationship, as if everything was teetering with it.

The words of Shao Hang and Wen Chuan were fueling the flames again and again.

After returning to school, the sky was completely dark. Shao Hang followed Jian Chi into the dormitory and saw the empty bed. He raised his eyebrows, full of displeasure: “Where’s my stuff?” 

The original ‘cohabitation’ area, since Jian Chi came back, everything belonging to Shao Hang disappeared. Before he could answer, a faded and gentle voice sounded behind him: “I threw it away.”

Jian Chi turned his head back, his arm was pulled in his direction by Ji Huaisi, as if to spread the distance between the two forcibly. Shao Hang watched Ji Huaisi’s vigilant move, and his relaxed smile gradually diminished, replacing it was half a smile that was not a smile, without any warmth.

“The vice-president is really generous. He even manages where the students live. By the way, you can’t be called the vice-president now. You should have already stepped down, right, Ji Huaisi?”

Ji Huaisi ignored the irony in Shao Hang’s words. Looking at him coldly, “You should explain where you took Jian Chi this afternoon.”
