It's embarrassing.
Song Shuyang said he wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep, not because of that matter.
…Okay, not entirely.
After his afternoon classes, he ate early and rushed back to the dormitory. He remembered that Guo Zixiu had no classes in the afternoon, so when he got home, he saw him in the dormitory playing with his phone. Song Shuyang casually asked him, "Didn't you go to work part-time?"
Guo Zixiu covered his phone and stammered, "No, I'm not busy today."
"I see you haven't been busy before. What kind of part-time job is so easy?"
“…most of the work is done online, so there’s no need to go out.”
Song Shuyang didn't rush to ask what was going on. He threw his schoolbag on the table and said casually, "I kind of want to eat the egg burger at the school gate."
"Doesn't their store sell out at 11:30 every day? You have to go there when you don't have classes at noon."
"That'll have to wait until Friday, alas."
Guo Zixiu didn't know why he brought this up, so he just said, "Let's wait," and nothing more.
For the next two days, Song Shuyang stayed in the dormitory after class and did not go to Jin Zhou's place, which made him complain every day about being lonely and alone in the empty room.
On Wednesday morning, Jin Zhou couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to go to Song Shuyang's classroom before the last class.
A handsome guy walked into the classroom, attracting the attention of other students. Some students who were close to Song Shuyang asked him directly, "Who is this?"
The word "my brother" almost slipped out of his mouth, but he turned it around and turned Jin Zhou's head to lean against him, "My boyfriend, handsome, right?"
Jin Zhou smiled faintly.
The classmates were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment. They didn't know which was more daring: coming out openly or bringing a homosexual to the classroom.
Song Shuyang pursued being open and honest all his life. He felt that since everything had been discussed, there was nothing to be embarrassed about admitting. As for other people's opinions, it had nothing to do with him.
Besides, Jin Zhou is a very presentable love partner. Not only does he dare to admit it, he even wants to go to the school gate with a loud speaker to announce it, so as to prevent some alumni who go to Helios to spend money from having improper thoughts about the boss.
There was still some time before the class bell rang. Jin Zhou took out a plastic bag from somewhere and stuffed it into Song Shuyang's hand. "I just bought this as I was passing by. I was worried you'd get hungry during class. Show off, Wild Boar."
He opened the bag and saw that it was the egg burger he wanted to eat.
"Isn't his house difficult to sort out?"
"Yeah," Jin Zhou lay down on the desk and looked at him with a smile, "I saw a lot of people queuing there, and I thought it must taste good, so I went to queue on the way, otherwise I would have come here during the last class."
Song Shuyang didn't rush to eat, and said coldly: "You understand me quite well."
After class, Jin Zhou took him to eat outside the school. Song Shuyang slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no! My textbook for Friday morning's class is still in Helios!"
Jin Zhou said, "It's okay. I'll take you there after dinner."
Song Shuyang used the meal time to send a message to Xiaobai: [Do you know where Sister Ying usually keeps the drink menu?]
Xiaobai quickly replied: [What do you want this for? ]
Song Shuyang: [I'm checking something. Don't worry, I won't harm her or Jin Zhou.]
Thinking that he was already half the boss's wife, Xiao Bai had nothing to worry about and told him directly: [It should be in the top drawer on the left side of her desk]
Song Shuyang was afraid that Jin Zhou would notice something unusual if he looked at his phone for too long, so he immediately pressed the power button and put it upside down on the table after getting the key information, and chatted with him calmly.
After dinner, he followed Jin Zhou into the car and saw Xiao Bai sent him another message: [If you find it, take a picture and show it to me.]
He found an excuse to let Jin Zhou stay in the car, and he sneaked in with the key. He secretly went upstairs and found the drink menu. Time was tight and there was no time to look at it carefully, so he took pictures of all the details and evacuated quickly.
Seeing that Jin Zhou didn't ask any more questions, he felt relieved. He didn't take out the photo and enlarged it to look at it carefully until he returned to the dormitory and sat down.
He sent the photo to Xiaobai and asked her: [Did Jiang Ying tell you where she went on the night of October 2nd?]
Xiaobai took a long time to reply: [We had a fight that night, and she ran out and didn't come back until midnight. Later, Jin Zhou sent me a message saying that she drank almost a case of beer in the store and asked me to persuade her.]
Song Shuyang: [……]
noob:【……】
The drink list clearly states that the amount of beer purchased in October is exactly what was sold, not a bottle more or less, and there was no internal consumption. Jiang Ying's acting was very realistic, and her accounting was also very thorough. I don't know whether I should praise her for her professionalism.
Song Shuyang: [They were even unwilling to actually drink a case of beer for the sake of acting]
Xiaobai called directly and asked angrily, "What are you going to do with Yangzi?"
The situation was now clear. Jiang Ying and Jin Zhou had been teaming up to deal with them for a long time. Song Shuyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "We have to unite too. We can't always be led by these two old foxes."
"you're right!"
Song Shuyang's fighting spirit, which had been extinguished by love for a long time, was rekindled. He slammed the table and stood up, "Xiaobai, let's find a place to meet tomorrow and discuss how to deal with them."
Xiaobai was a little worried, "Jin Zhou is too smart, are you sure you can really get him?"
Song Shuyang gave an evil smile and turned to look at the empty seat next to him.
"Don't worry, I have a trick up my sleeve."
Helios had been closed for a few days, and Croissant hadn't drunk a single drink. He couldn't hold it in any longer, so he called Jiang Ying and Jin Zhou out for a drink. When they met, the first thing they asked each other was, "Where's your wife?"
Jiang Ying said, "Something's up. He's been acting so mysterious lately. I don't know what he's been up to."
Jin Zhou frowned, "Song Shuyang too."
The two looked at each other and came to the same idea tacitly - they couldn't get too close.
Croissant didn't care what they were saying and forced the wine glasses into their hands, "Don't talk so much, drink first."
An hour later, after sending the drunk Croissant and Jiang Ying home, Jin Zhou received a message from Guo Zixiu on his way back: [Brother Zhou, the target person seems to be getting close to a girl recently.]
Jin Zhou typed casually: [It's okay, I roughly know what he's going to do]
From the day Song Shuyang tested him, he knew that he was completely exposed.
But what he didn't expect was that Song Shuyang was not really angry about this matter at all. Even if he wanted to do some small actions to retaliate, it would be no different from a kitten scratching someone.
Who can stand their lover asking the closest people to monitor them?
But Song Shuyang didn't feel any discomfort about this kind of gaze. Instead, he took it as evidence that his boyfriend loved him and cared about him.
One is pathologically attached, the other is a self-destructive flirt, they are simply a perfect match.
Jin Zhou licked his dry lips, eagerly anticipating Song Shuyang's next revenge.
During the weekend drama competition, Song Shuyang complained to him on the phone, "If you had told me we'd just have a short performance in the preliminary round, we wouldn't have had to rehearse so hard. It's so annoying! I came here early in the morning to get my hair and makeup done, only to be told I don't have a role this time!"
Jin Zhou followed him in complaining: "Your school is sick."
"That's right! How can you cheat your own people like this? Well, I won't tell you anymore. I still have to help with the hard labor. Just for these few credits, I work like a slave for the school every day..."
The phone was hung up as he grumbled softly.
Not long after, Guo Zixiu suddenly called him and said hurriedly, "Brother Zhou, were you hiding something from him before? He seems to have found out and is very angry now."
Jin Zhou nonchalantly played with the headphones in his hand, "Huh? Why are you angry?"
"I don't know who he's talking to on the phone. He said he's going to disappear for a while, which makes you anxious."
"I see."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and he was struggling with whether or not to inform Jiang Ying. In the end, out of humanitarianism, he sent her a message: [They both know.]
Jiang Ying: [? Know what?]
Jin Zhou: [What Happened That Night]
Jiang Ying: [[Shocked] I told them not to get too close, or their confessions would be completely exposed.]
Jin Zhou was too lazy to review the situation any further. He had never intended to hide this from Song Shuyang forever. He was so smart that it was only a matter of time before he would find out. He just reminded Jiang Ying: "They are trying to mess with us recently, be careful."
Jin Zhou was just worrying about why there was no next move, so he waited patiently until night. Song Shuyang stormed into his house angrily and started acting.
"You weren't drunk at all that night. You acted with Jiang Ying to trick me, right?"
Jin Zhou opened his mouth to speak, but Director Song covered it with his hand. "Don't try to argue! I've already explained the whole story to Xiaobai. Not only did you lie to me, you also cheated on both sides with Jiang Ying!"
Song Shuyang looked down and saw that Jin Zhou's eyes were full of innocence. Because his lower eyelashes were very long, the tail of his eyes was pink and there was a teardrop mole, he looked quite pitiful.
In an instant, his momentum weakened, and he asked without much confidence, "What do you mean by that look?"
Feeling someone licking the palm of his hand, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. Before he could react, he felt dizzy and was held on Jin Zhou's lap.
Jin Zhou buried his face between his collarbones and asked in a muffled voice, "I confess everything. You can punish me however you want."
“…But you’re already rewarding yourself.”
"Really?" Jin Zhou took a big sip and licked it as if it wasn't enough. "Then tell me how to punish me, and I will cooperate with you."
Song Shuyang never expected this style of painting.
Shouldn't he first be tough and explain why he had to do what he did, and then play the victim to gain sympathy?
Everything now was completely different from what had been agreed upon with Xiaobai. Song Shuyang's ability to react on the spot was basically zero, and his brain froze on the spot.
Half an hour later, he sank into the bed, with fireworks still exploding in front of his eyes. He had not yet recovered from the near-death pleasure he had just experienced.
Jin Zhou had already wiped him clean, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came back to ask him softly, "Are you still angry?"
Song Shuyang almost forgot that he hadn't finished his role yet. He was brought back into the role by his question and snorted coldly, "Don't think you can get away with it like this. I won't forgive you."
Jin Zhou became even more excited after hearing this, his eyes sparkling with brilliance, "I'm really looking forward to it."
"No, what are you expecting?"
Jin Zhou walked to the bedside and smiled gently at him, "As long as it's given by Zizi, I look forward to everything."
Happy, sad, or even angry, as long as the emotion arises for him, he treasures it all.
"Don't talk like that all the time," Song Shuyang hid himself in the quilt and hummed, "You're making me feel guilty. Go to sleep quickly. I won't forgive you anyway."
He had already realized that his acting today was terrible, and he immediately asked his allies for help: [What should I do, Xiaobai, I feel like I messed up today]
Xiaobai didn't know what he was busy with. After a while, he sent him a crying emoji and replied: [Me too. It feels like they both got the warning. They seem to know we are going to deal with them.]
Xiaobai: [No, I think we need to adjust our strategy in time. Mainly because Jin Zhou knows you too well, and you wouldn't lie. He must have guessed what you were up to.]
Song Shuyang: [[crying] We grew up together. As soon as I stick my butt out, he knows what I'm going to do.]
Xiaobai: [So we have to adjust our strategy and find a way to make Jin Zhou our ally. Help me take down Jiang Ying first.]
Song Shuyang felt that this was a solution. There was still a long time to come. He could wait until Jin Zhou relaxed his vigilance and then find Xiaobai to join forces to set up a bigger plan for him.
So under the guidance of the dog-headed military advisor, Song Shuyang put down his mobile phone, turned over, put his face on Jin Zhou's back, and went back to his old business.
The first sentence: "Brother~"
Second sentence: "You are the best to me~"
The third sentence: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will do whatever you say in the future~"
The three tricks of acting cute were still very effective after being used countless times. Jin Zhou felt sorry that he had no chance to enjoy the prank he had carefully planned, but at the same time he was secretly happy because he was transferred from the enemy camp to the ally camp.
"Tell me, what task have you assigned to me?"
"You don't have to do anything. Just pretend you know nothing and don't remind Sister Ying."
The more Jin Zhou listened, the more he felt something was amiss. "So, after all this preparation, you only want to target Jiang Ying in the end?"
Song Shuyang smiled guiltily and hugged his arm, "How could I bear to punish you? I was just joking with you before, really."
His smile was too insincere, and Jin Zhou remained skeptical.
Jin Zhou took the time to meet with Jiang Ying. In addition to the official business, they also compared the information gap between the two.
Jiang Ying was almost laughing out of anger, "Cici, you're amazing! You even made an alliance with me just to mess with me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Just keep acting with her," Jiang Ying took a puff of her cigarette, the more she thought about it, the funnier it got. "She's been secretly packing her luggage in the middle of the night these past few days. She's been putting on quite the show."
Jin Zhou listened and frowned slightly.
"Don't you think it's a little strange?"
"What's strange?"
Jin Zhou couldn't explain it either. His precognition only worked on Song Shuyang and was completely ineffective on others.
"Just keep an eye on her," he advised finally.
Jiang Ying still looked unimpressed. "You just can't keep your composure. You're so anxious that you've fallen into their trap. Oh, yeah, what's Yangzi going to do next?"
Song Shuyang is discussing buying plane tickets with Xiaobai.
"Does it have to be so comprehensive?" He was simply shocked by Xiaobai's rigorous attitude.
Xiao Bai told him seriously, "Details determine success or failure. Jiang Ying is very suspicious. If she doesn't see the plane ticket, she will be suspicious."
"Okay, I'll transfer the refund fee to you later."
"No need," she operated on her phone for a moment, "I've bought it, and I'll return it to you when the time comes."
In fact, Song Shuyang was already feeling a little tired at this point in the plan. "Why don't we just call it a day? Are you really planning to trick her into going to Jiang City?"
Their original plan was to stage a runaway scam together, and once the two were convinced, they would refund their tickets, making them feel their trip wasted, and then make a video call to mock them for being so clever. But just as they were about to succeed, Song Shuyang realized that this wouldn't be a good idea either, as it would waste the round-trip airfare and wouldn't serve as a warning to the other party.
Xiaobai was very persistent, "No, we can't let her go now. Otherwise, she will always think that I will never really leave her."
Song Shuyang didn't quite understand, "Hasn't your relationship always been good? Why do you have to compete with each other? Just be together happily."
Xiaobai took a sip of coffee, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
"Yangzi, wait until you and Jin Zhou talk for a while and you'll know that sometimes conflicts between two people aren't caused by a lack of love, but by too much love."
Song Shuyang was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.
"Okay," Xiaobai raised her head to let the tears that were about to fall out flow, "You and Jin Zhou just got together, it's not appropriate for you to listen to such words. Besides, you grew up together, so there definitely aren't that many things that need to be adjusted."
"But I still want to give you one last piece of advice: don't love so much that you lose yourself. No matter what, your own feelings are the most important."
After parting with Xiaobai, Song Shuyang repeated these words over and over again in his mouth.
Perhaps because his love with Jin Zhou was not yet unforgettable enough, such words always sounded a bit harsh to a couple in the honeymoon period.
And for some reason, he felt very flustered and lost.
The next day, Xiaobai took him to officially start the last step of the plan.
"Do we really have to put on such a show?" Song Shuyang got out of the taxi and looked at the big words "XX Airport" in front of him. He was completely confused. "You even brought a suitcase with you?"
"You have to put on a good show. Did Sister Ying contact you before you came out?"
"No, Jin Zhou just asked me where I was going, and I didn't tell the truth."
Xiaobai smiled happily, "Yangzi, you are so smart. It's so fun to be with you. No wonder Jin Zhou likes you so much."
Song Shuyang coughed lightly and said, "Why are you doing this? You've made my face red."
Xiaobai looked at the airport right in front of him, and the smile on his face faded little by little.
"What's wrong?" Song Shuyang keenly noticed her change.
Xiaobai clutched his stomach apologetically. "I have a stomachache because I didn't eat breakfast this morning. Could you please buy me some breakfast? I can take a picture and send it to Jiang Ying to trick her into coming over."
"Okay, then wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."
After Song Shuyang walked away, she raised her mobile phone, flipped the lens, forced a bright smile at the camera, and took her last photo in this city.
As soon as Song Shuyang left, Jin Zhou drove to find Jiang Ying. When he arrived at her house, she was still lying in bed. He had just had a fight with his wife in the morning and was in a bad mood.
Hearing Jin Zhou knocking on the door outside, she put on her pajamas in a daze and floated to the entrance like a wandering soul.
"Where's Xiaobai?"
Jiang Ying snorted, "She was so immersed in the role that she left early in the morning dragging her suitcase. She really thought I would believe her."
Jin Zhou frowned tightly, "Aren't you afraid that she will really leave?"
"Didn't you say Yangzi was with her? She can't really run away with Yangzi, right?"
Jin Zhou snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Are you too confident in your relationship, or too confident in Song Shuyang?"
Jiang Ying was getting annoyed and wanted to chase him away when she heard a vibration. It was Jin Zhou's phone ringing.
He picked up the phone and heard Song Shuyang's panicked and crying voice.
"Jin Zhou...what should I do? I lost Xiaobai..."
Jiang Ying finally woke up completely.
