The bugle horns sounded in unison, and the grand competition began.

Under the dark sky, the ancient Roman Colosseum was surrounded by crowds of cheering spectators. The huge and lofty circular building was situated in the middle of a lone island within an endless ocean.

Dark clouds loomed overhead. The black dragon carried Zhou Sheng as it flew over. It flapped its wings, suspended just above the Colosseum, and slowly descended. Zhou Sheng shouldered his jingubang; he was clad in a pair of AJ shoes that were like gold-plated combat boots and an iron scale mail, and had one foot on the head of the dragon..

“I’m here as a challenger!” Zhou Sheng swung his jingubang, turned to the side and levelled his weapon at the audience.

Chariots rumbled out through the tunnels in the Colosseum, forming a ring. Each chariot held a huge and fierce monster.

On Zhou Sheng’s shoulder stood a little fox doll. He turned his head sideways, raised his hand and touched the little fox’s furry back.

“Which one should I fight first? Say it!” Zhou Sheng shouted.

Of course, the doll wouldn’t answer him. Zhou Sheng looked at the thirteen chariots that were in a circular arrangement. At their center was the Devil king Satan, who had a tall, sturdy stature and ram horns. He calmed down and looked at the rest of the chariots.

“Then you ba.” Zhou Sheng pointed indifferently at one of them.

“Dang——” A loud noise blared, and the crowd once again began cheering like crazy.

Satan, “You’re finally willing to make a deal with me? What do you want?”

Zhou Sheng said in a calm voice, “You know what I want better than I do.”

Satan turned to the audience and said aloud, “Very good! The master of the dreamscape, this General has decided to face himself squarely and overcome his fears! Let’s wait and see if he will succeed!”

The black dragon landed. Amidst loud cheers that made even the skies tremble, the curtains were drawn on the huge battle.

When Yu Hao got up the next day, Zhou Sheng had already left, and he didn’t know where he had gone.

Yu Hao recalled their conversation from the previous night and it all seemed just like a dream. He messaged Zhou Sheng. No reply.

Chen Yekai called Yu Hao and asked him out to watch a movie today. Yu Hao said, “Zhou Sheng left early this morning, and I don’t even know where he went.”

“I asked him.” Chen Yekai said, “He said that he’s not going and asked me to find you.”

Yu Hao thought about it for a bit and finally said, “Okay then, I’ll treat you.”

“Treat me to a meal ba.” Chen Yekai said, “I’ve already bought the tickets. I’ll call Huang Ting too.”

Yu Hao saw the message that Zhou Sheng had sent him after he hung up.

Zhou Sheng:【I have something to do today, so settle lunch yourself today? I’ll bring back dinner for you?】

After Yu Hao replied to him, he and Chen Yekai went to eat with Huang Ting. The two of them waited for a long time before Huang Ting said, “I finally managed to slip out, let’s eat barbeque ba.”

In the meantime, Huang Ting noticed that Yu Hao was looking at his private messages and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Making friends.” Yu Hao didn’t intend to hide it from Huang Ting, who knew his sexual orientation anyway. He remembered that Huang Ting never seemed to have mentioned a girlfriend so he said, “Are you in a relationship? Just showing some concern, if you think I’m being too gossipy you can just ignore me.”

Chen Yekai laughed, “Do you remember Junjun?”

“Ahhhh——” Yu Hao immediately remembered the female reporter.

Huang Ting hastily clarified, “That’s still up in the air! Don’t spout nonsense. You’re looking online?”

“Un.” Yu Hao showed Huang Ting.

“Make sure to keep safe.” Huang Ting said, “Especially regarding physical hygiene.”

“I’m making friends.” Yu Hao said, “Not finding one night stands!”

Chen Yekai said, “You got rejected after confessing?”

Yu Hao glanced at Chen Yekai. Huang Ting said, “Confessed? Who did you confess to?”

Chen Yekai said, “You don’t need to worry about that, Officer Huang.”

“Occupational hazard.” Huang Ting answered.

“The two of you sound like you’re doing a crosstalk.” Yu Hao said.

Chen Yekai went to collect the tickets before the movie started. Yu Hao and Huang Ting sat at the resting area outside the venue. Huang Ting wore plain clothes today. He grasped a straw between his fingers as he sat upright and asked Yu Hao, “Yu Hao, please give a truthful account of the situation.”

Yu Hao, “Are you going to record my statement?”

Huang Ting said, “Do you usually have any feelings towards or contradictions with your Chen Laoshi?”

Yu Hao, “……”

Huang Ting watched Yu Hao attentively with his hawk-like eyes, “Why is it that now, you would rather go online to look for a partner — to be more precise, to go online to look for a friend — than consider Chen Laoshi?”

Yu Hao, “Officer Huang, this isn’t very good of you. Be careful, I might tell Junjun Jie.”

“You don’t have her contact information.” Huang Ting looked like he had it well thought-out. He had an unreadable gaze as he said, “Now, please don’t evade the question I asked and answer me truthfully.”

Yu Hao, “…………”

“Let’s go.” Chen Yekai came over. Yu Hao thought, I’m not coming out with you two again.

In the end, Huang Ting and Chen Yekai sat on either side of Yu Hao and sandwiched him in between them for the duration of the movie. Yu Hao felt like he was a prisoner that was being escorted the whole time.

Chen Yekai would even softly speak to Yu Hao from time to time. After a while, Huang Ting’s head tilted and leaned against Yu Hao’s shoulder as he fell asleep. Yu Hao was rendered completely speechless. Chen Yekai made a shh gesture, “He’s been very tired recently, let him sleep a little.” Then he pointed at the 3D glasses that Huang Ting was holding, indicating to hide them without being found out.
