Chapter 21 Possessiveness

Chu Chenghuan noticed that Xie Ting was walking a little unsteadily, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He also had an idea in his mind, "Did he confess his feelings to you?"

Xie Ting was frightened by Chu Chenghuan's words. "How could you have such an idea? He just asked me if I was gay. How could such an outrageous thing happen?"

Xie Ting took a big bite of the hamburger, thinking that he must make sure Tong Hao stays away from Chu Chenghuan.

Chu Chenghuan pressed: "Then why should he care about you?"

"Maybe I'm just curious."

Chu Chenghuan: "Who would be curious about this kind of thing?"

"But I'm just curious about you! Maybe he treats me as a friend." Xie Ting tried his best to explain Tong Hao's behavior.

"Have you and he known each other since childhood? He's only known you for one morning, and he's already curious about your sexual orientation. If you answer yes, he'll confess his feelings the next second."

Xie Ting questioned, "Why do you say that? No, Master, you weren't curious about someone confessing their feelings to me before. Why are you so sensitive this time? Are you, like me, a homosexual?"

Xie Ting's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chu Chenghuan was not at all bothered by the counter-question, "You are my childhood sweetheart, it is normal for me to care about you."

"Then why didn't you care about me before?"

Because he hadn't realized before that he felt the same possessiveness towards Xie Ting. Although Xie Ting was noisy, she was often cute in her noisiness, and she was as pretty as a little princess. It was normal for him to feel possessive of Xie Ting. He should also know everything about Xie Ting.

Especially now, someone of the same sex as him has come to confess his love to Xie Ting, and he cannot let the little princess be snatched away.

Chu Chenghuan felt a sense of crisis and said in a cold voice: "In any case, stay away from him. You are a homophobic person, do you want to be with a man?"

Xie Ting covered his ears and murmured, "Master, please don't say such lewd words."

Chu Chenghuan snorted coldly.

After returning to class, Chu Chenghuan was very unhappy with Tong Hao who was sitting in front of him, but Tong Hao also followed what he said to Xie Ting at noon and did not turn back to talk to Xie Ting all afternoon.

Chu Chenghuan naturally didn't care about anything anymore, and this episode seemed to be over.

-

High school life wasn't much different from junior high. Xie Ting continued to doze off in class. Military training was supposed to start, but the heat delayed it until after National Day. They did take the placement test, and Xie Ting, relying on his skills, came in second to last. Tong Hao came in last.

Tong Hao, who had never communicated with Xie Ting, couldn't help but say when he saw the results, "You actually scored one point higher than me!"

Xie Ting sat upright, his chin slightly raised, his expression serious: "The competition for the second-to-last place is always so cruel."

Tong Hao rolled his eyes.

Before the test paper was even handed down, Chu Chenghuan frowned: "Didn't I predict a few questions for you? Apart from the ones I predicted, you don't know the rest?"

Xie Ting whispered: "Yeah."

Chu Chenghuan hesitated to speak.

Xie Ting quickly interrupted, "Don't say that. I know what you're going to say. You're saying we both didn't study during the summer vacation, so how come I forgot everything and you still managed to get first place? People are different. My strength isn't in studying, it's in eating. I can stand out in a competitive eating contest."

Chu Chenghuan said mercilessly: "You don't eat as much as I do, you just like to eat snacks. If you really participate in the competitive eating contest, you will be eliminated in the first round."

Xie Ting: “…”

"I'm going to the bathroom." He had to pee.

As Xie Ting walked out of the classroom, he was stopped by a female classmate. It was Hu Yaqin, the Chinese class representative. Xie Ting was somewhat familiar with Hu Yaqin because of their Chinese poetry recitation.

Xie Ting slowed down his pace, a frown on his face. "I've memorized the ancient poems this time, but the teacher won't come looking for me again, will he?"

Hu Yaqin's eyes lit up: "No, no! I heard that you and Chu Chenghuan are childhood sweethearts. Are you the kind who have been together since you were babies?"

Xie Ting raised his eyebrows slightly, he was coming for Chu Chenghuan!

Xie Ting was always patient with girls who liked Chu Chenghuan. He hummed, "But shouldn't they be childhood sweethearts?"

Hu Yaqin: "Because you two are both men! Just like if gay men can get married in the future, you are a husband and a wife but not a husband and a wife."

Xie Ting got goosebumps instantly and smirked, "That's a really vivid example you gave."

Hu Yaqin didn't notice Xie Ting's fake smile, and continued to follow Xie Ting and asked, "So what kind of person do you think Chu Chenghuan is?"

Xie Ting gave an objective evaluation: "Handsome, smart."

"So what does he think of you?"

Xie Ting answered every question: "Should it be annoying? But you should ask him, right?"

Hu Yaqin smiled innocently: "He is too aloof to say such things."

Because the female classmates kept following him and asking him questions, Xie Ting stopped some distance away from the men's bathroom and lowered his gaze curiously: "So you are Chu Chenghuan's fan girl? If so, did you choose him in the school idol vote?"

Hu Yaqin hadn't expected Xie Ting to bring up the "School Prince Contest" and was so excited she was a bit incoherent: "I, I, I'm a huge fan of you two! I saw in the group that you were the first to come up with the idea for this "School Prince Contest"! Isn't that right?"

Xie Ting didn't take the blame: "That's not the case. I was the one who first suggested Chu Chenghuan be the school hunk. What's the situation now? Are you sure he's the school hunk?"

Xie Ting was curious.

Hu Yaqin: "There's no doubt he's the school hunk. There's no one more handsome than him in our school. But right now, there aren't many people in the group, so the selection is only for a small group. But Chu Chenghuan is top of the grade, and when the military training comes, there will be a meeting, and he should be the freshman representative who speaks on stage. That way, more people will know him! His name as the school hunk will spread!"

Xie Ting was also surprised: "Keep going!"

Hu Yaqin: "Then do you want to join the group? You can know the situation firsthand."

Xie Ting declined with regret: "I don't have a mobile phone. I log in to QQ using Chu Chenghuan's mobile phone. If I join the group and he finds out, I might not be able to be selected as the school hunk. He is a low-key person."

Hu Yaqin grasped the key point, "You, you used his phone?"

Xie Ting was used to it: "I don't have a cell phone, so I can only use his."

"Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Xie Ting, thank you! With you, we have candy to eat!"

Xie Ting:?

Xie Ting didn't understand the sudden excitement of the female classmate at all. "What candy?"

"Hey, I'll let you know once the selection is successful."

Xie Ting wasn't curious either, so he waved his hand and walked towards the restroom. "I don't want to chat with you anymore, class is about to start. No need to notify him, once he succeeds, Chu Chenghuan will be famous in school. It's great, my buddy is the school idol."

Hu Yaqin quickly returned to class to share the first-hand CP sugar she got with her good sisters!

After National Day, military training for the first year of high school didn't officially begin until early November. The day before training, Xie Ting finally put on the camouflage uniform he'd been dreaming of and spent half an hour in front of the mirror that night.

Chu Chenghuan sat at the table, looking at the report card sent by the teacher in the class group chat, and said to Xie Ting beside him, "You ranked third from the bottom in this monthly exam. The last one didn't get any grades, but he was in the top ten in the last monthly exam. The second to last one didn't take two subjects, and he ranked sixteenth in the last monthly exam. Xie Ting, you should be the last one."

Xie Ting paused.

Xie Ting turned his head and asked, "Did Tong Hao run ahead of me?"

Chu Chenghuan's eyebrows were filled with impatience: "Why did you mention him?"

Xie Ting ran over and looked at the report card on his phone. As a matter of course, he said, "He's at the bottom of my class!"

Chu Chenghuan pointed at Tong Hao's position and said, "He's sixth from the bottom."

"Damn, I'm at the bottom and I'm actually running so far ahead?"

Chu Chenghuan:.

Is this the front?

Chu Chenghuan pushed Xie Ting's head away and said in a cold tone, "If you mention him again, I won't make up for your lessons in the future. You can use me as your target and always see what I will do next."

Xie Ting said honestly: "Because he's behind me, my dad would say there are people dumber than me. Without him, I'm the dumbest."

Chu Chenghuan was also speechless.

"Uncle Xie is right."

Just as Xie Ting was about to retort, there was a knock on the bedroom door and a servant came in carrying fruit. "Master, bring up some cantaloupe. Tingting, is this the uniform you're going to wear for military training? It's so cool!"

Xie Ting was instantly diverted from the topic and blushed: "I think I'm handsome too."

Chu Chenghuan rubbed his eyebrows. He couldn't argue with such a fool, as it would lower his IQ.
