The place they found was relatively quiet, not far from the rest area.
Old Tang and Mad Dog happened to be passing by on their bikes. They had already ridden a few laps and were quite tired, especially Old Tang, who had a towel draped dramatically around his neck as if he had sweated buckets just from riding a bike.
Their class's Old Tang stood by the roadside, smiling at them for a while. "Have you all eaten?" he asked.
The C;ass 3 students sat up straight and replied in unison, "Yes, we've eaten."
Old Tang wanted to say something else, but Mad Dog pulled him away. "Forget it, don't be fooled by their smiles...these brats can't wait for us to leave."
Fortunately, Xie Yu had good luck. After a few rounds, this big shot was the only one left standing. He not only avoided any punishment, but even drew the King card twice.
As Xu Qingqing played the card game, memories of another night's game of Landlord flooded back, along with the fear of being dominated. It was understandable to have good luck in Landlord, but to play cards like this?!
The gaming experience was extremely poor!
After one round ended, Xu Qingqing sorted her cards and began to draw again. Xie Yu casually drew a card and flipped it over to reveal the King again.
Xu Qingqing: "..."
Xie Yu had yet to feel any excitement from the game. He held the cards between his fingertips and sat on the ground, asking, "Is this it? So boring?"
Xu Qingqing retorted, "You're not human."
Wan Da shook his head and added, "Brother Yu, we're not the same."
Luo Wenqiang was chosen twice by Xie Yu in the punishment of the enhanced version of the game. It was too extreme, and he almost gave his first kiss to Liu Cunhao. He was really scared and turned his head to shout, "Brother Chao, control your desk mate!"
He Chao sat next to Xie Yu, enjoying the show and laughing, "Control my ass, how can I control him."
Finally, due to the overwhelming public opinion, the game qualification of a certain player with an external plug-in level was forcibly taken away, and Xie Yu had to quit the game.
The king card that Xie Yu drew earlier was taken back by Xu Qingqing, and he blinked, not knowing whether to laugh or not, "Is this how you guys play?"
Liu Cunhao returned the card he drew to Xu Qingqing and prepared to draw again, "Sorry, Brother Yu, it's because you're too strong. Fate is always unfair."
He Chao raised his hand and patted the little friend's head, unable to resist rubbing it a few more times, and comforted him, "It's because they don't deserve to play with a master like my desk mate."
"What do you mean by 'they'?" This remark made the others unhappy. "Brother Chao, before you speak, can you include yourself in the count?"
He Chao said, "I'm different, I'm also very strong."
Xie Yu didn't mind quitting the game, it was really boring anyway. He moved his seat back a bit and sat behind He Chao, looking down at his phone. If he lowered his head any more, it would touch He Chao's back.
He Chao was afraid that he was bored, so he took out a few snacks from his bag and handed them to him, "Want some?"
Xie Yu glanced over and saw a few small bags of walnuts lying quietly next to him: "..."
Although he didn't know why this person brought walnuts on their autumn outing, Xie Yu thought to himself, "You should just keep them for yourself to eat."
In fact, He Chao wasn't as strong as he made himself out to be. The reason he hadn't been chosen earlier was because most of the time, the king card was in Xie Yu's hand.
Every time Xie Yu drew a card, he would sneak his hand over and He Chao would write a number in his palm. Knowing which number he was, he naturally wouldn't choose him.
The boy lightly traced his fingertips over his palm, almost like flirting, and it tickled a bit.
At first, He Chao wrote the numbers honestly, but after a couple of rounds, he started writing words in Xie Yu's palm.
He wrote several times before Xie Yu couldn't help but ask, "...What mess are you even writing."
He Chao whispered, "Just feel it with your heart."
People usually write characters stroke by stroke, but this idiot writes almost every stroke connected together. What a joke.
Xie Yu couldn't feel it: "Sorry, us killers have no heart."
"Three words," He Chao finished, wanting to tease a bit before revealing, but he couldn't hold back and said, "I like you."
Now that his cheat-level boyfriend was gone, He Chao's good luck had basically run out.
What goes around comes around. He might even have to pay for his boyfriend's actions. He Chao was targeted twice in a row: "..."
Xu Qingqing rarely gets to play king, but she was really good at it. She put on airs and asked, "Who has the number two card?"
He Chao threw out the number two card in his hand.
The people around them went wild.
"Aren't you supposed to be strong, Brother Chao?"
"Who can escape the will of heaven!"
"Brother Qing, don't hold back, go all out!"
"I choose truth." He Chao made a preemptive statement as he watched the group of people go crazy.
Xu Qingqing didn't know what to ask. In order to avoid creating more hatred and to remain friends in the future, she chose to draw a truth card as punishment. Fortunately, the question she drew wasn't too outrageous: "How far have you and your boyfriend/girlfriend progressed?"
As the boyfriend, Xie Yu: "..."
Shen Jie bought a box of food in the rest area and called He Chao while eating, wanting to know where he was. But he couldn't get through. He turned off his phone, threw away the finished box, and decided to take a walk and have a smoke.
As he walked out of the rest area, he didn't get far before he heard a group of people nearby shouting in unison: "Oh--"
The tone was also quite peculiar.
Faintly, Shen Jie heard the voice of the Class 3 sports committee representative. He held a cigarette box in his hand and walked over. It was indeed people from Class 3.
"What are you guys doing?" Shen Jie asked as he squeezed through the gap in the roadside bushes. "I could hear you guys yelling from far away...Brother Chao, I called you but you didn't answer."
Shen Jie was always running to Class 3. He would even 'get sick' for them as an excuse for being late. He was considered a part of Class 3.
Wan Da made room for him and said, "Come, come, come, we're playing games."
Xu Qingqing urged, "Brother Chao, can you please answer the question quickly?"
Everyone cheered for a while, and it wasn't until then that He Chao scratched his head and said, "As for progress, well, I've done everything I should have done."
After He Chao finished speaking, Xie Yu pinched his waist.
The scope was quite broad, leaving them plenty of room for imagination, which only fueled their enthusiasm.
Xie Yu released his grip and asked, "What do you mean by 'we've done everything we should'?"
He Chao leaned back nonchalantly and replied, "Otherwise, what should I say? That we've progressed to calling each other 'brother' in bed?"
"..."
Although He Chao had never mentioned having a significant other before, with his looks, it wouldn't be surprising if he had one, and maybe even someone from another school.
Luo Wenqiang persisted, "That answer was a close call, Brother Qing! Is it considered a foul? So what has he done?"
Sitting down, Shen Jie listened for a while and understood the question, but he felt that something was off when he combined the answer with the question.
It wasn't until Xu Qingqing started dealing the cards again that Shen Jie realized, and he thought in horror: When did Brother Chao get a significant other?
Sitting across from each other in a crowded place, it wasn't convenient for Shen Jie to ask directly.
So he lowered his head and frantically tapped away on his phone screen.
- Brother Chao, you've escaped a single life?
- Where is your partner from?
- Fuck, who's it?
- Are we still bros?
