Chapter 50 Blame Him
The next day, the weekend, Xie Ting woke up at ten o'clock and recalled what he had done that night. He wanted to bang his head against the wall. But when he got up, he saw Chu Chenghuan carving the rose again. He calmly reminded him, "Breakfast is on the table. Wash up and eat it."
It seemed as if what happened at night was unimportant.
Since Chu Chenghuan doesn't care, then he doesn't care either!
After Xie Ting washed up, he had breakfast. After he finished, Chu Chenghuan, who was looking down beside him, suddenly asked, "You kissed me last night. How are you going to be responsible for me?"
Xie Ting:!
Xie Ting tried his best to appear as calm as Chu Chenghuan, sitting upright. "You're so dedicated, you'll definitely win the prize. I'm a man who accepts defeat."
Chu Chenghuan put down the jade in his hand and stood up. "Since the reward has been given, it doesn't matter whether I win or not."
Xie Ting was puzzled and watched Chu Chenghuan's every move cautiously, and saw Chu Chenghuan step onto the ladder to return to the bed.
Chu Chenghuan never stays in bed during the day.
Xie Ting's heart skipped a beat: "What are you doing?"
Chu Chenghuan said, "Catch up on some sleep. Dark circles are still pretty ugly."
Xie Ting watched Chu Chenghuan throw back the covers and fall asleep. Confused, Xie Ting didn't quite believe Chu Chenghuan was really asleep, so he knelt on his bed and pulled at Chu Chenghuan's eyes, but failed to open them.
Xie Ting:?
The next second, Chu Chenghuan's long, steady breathing could be heard from the bed. Chu Chenghuan fell asleep in an instant.
? ?
So the previous statement "It doesn't matter whether I win the award or not" is serious?
Xie Ting resisted the urge to wake Chu Chenghuan. His instantaneous sleep proved he'd stayed up too many nights and needed to catch up on some sleep. But that didn't stop Xie Ting from frantically racing. They'd already kissed, so Chu Chenghuan had to win a prize! He even wanted to win a prize and not participate in school activities for the next four years!
At the final moment, Chu Chenghuan actually gave up.
Fortunately, Chu Chenghuan slept all morning, then went out to eat with Xie Ting before returning to carving. He hadn't been idle for two days over the weekend. Xie Ting's heart was at ease. He wasn't giving up after all! After all, if Chu Chenghuan didn't win the prize, what would his kiss mean? Would it mean he was gay?
A week later, Chu Chenghuan had carved a decent rose without even hiring a craftsman. Though the workmanship was a bit rough, it was still a delicate pink jadeite, and placed in a golden box, it looked elegant and refined.
The power of money!
Of course, there was also a solitary puppy. Its ears were round, its mouth was a slit, and its eyes were even more lazy, with two slits. Its nose... was just a dot. Xie Ting even discovered, strangely, that the puppy had no tail!
It's nothing like the puppy sitting on top of Rose's head in the sketch.
Xie Ting pointed at the ugly dog and said deliberately: "What is this?"
Chu Chenghuan warned: "Don't play dumb."
Xie Ting placed the ugly dog on the rose petals again and asked frivolously, "Shouldn't it grow on the rose petals?"
Chu Chenghuan was helpless, "Do you really think I'm that good? I can only carve a simple puppy."
Xie Ting thought that if he couldn't make it, he didn't need to make it, and the puppy wasn't necessary. But the puppy was already made, and Xie Ting hesitated to speak, still not criticizing Chu Chenghuan. He just said tactfully: "If you want to participate in the competition, the puppy is not particularly necessary, so why don't you keep it as a souvenir."
Chu Chenghuan glanced at him and saw that the look in his eyes was extremely dangerous.
Xie Ting immediately changed his tone: "Let's all participate. Puppies are also creatures of nature."
Chu Chenghuan said nothing.
The deadline for the entry was October 30th, the day after Chu Chenghuan finished, which was a Wednesday. Xie Ting and Chu Chenghuan had no classes that afternoon, so after Xie Ting woke up from his nap, he urged Chu Chenghuan to submit his entry.
"The deadline is 3pm. Have you taken the photos and submitted them?"
Chu Chenghuan got up and said calmly, "I won't pay it anymore."
Xie Ting:?
Xie Ting was shocked: "Why?"
Chu Chenghuan sat in the chair calmly, not feeling sleepy at all. He said in a good mood, "I already got the kiss. I put so much thought into it, but they still don't deserve what I made."
Xie Ting felt like the sky was falling.
"But I'm participating in the competition. If you're like that, I might as well submit a cactus."
"I submitted it." Chu Chenghuan said.
Xie Ting hissed softly and looked at Chu Chenghuan in disbelief. "So you spent all this time making an emerald rose, and in the end you handed in a cactus?"
Chu Chenghuan didn't think anything was wrong. He hummed and gave Xie Ting a lesson, "Tingting, you shouldn't have kissed me so early."
Xie Ting: !!
Is it wrong for him to kiss her earlier? Besides, he can kiss her after Chu Chenghuan wins the award!
"You are stupid!" Xie Ting cursed.
Chu Chenghuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips twitched. "Although I don't know where to start. But now I have you to back it up, Tingting, you are not the dumbest one."
Xie Ting took a deep breath.
"Thank you." He gritted his teeth.
Chu Chenghuan smiled faintly, "You're welcome."
Xie Ting: “…”
Xie Ting was angry for a few seconds, then looked at the golden box and the emerald rose and calmed himself down.
Xie Ting muttered, "It's better not to submit it. I heard that if you win the prize, you have to give it to the organizer. All the funds for this event are not enough to cover your gold."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chenghuan stood up again and picked up the golden box. Inside the golden box was a rose and a small, ugly dog. The flower and the dog were of the same color, and together they looked very compatible.
Xie Ting paid attention to Chu Chenghuan's every move, and then saw Chu Chenghuan handing him the golden box.
Xie Ting:?
Xie Ting took it with an inexplicable heaviness, and said casually, "What for? Are you sending me off?"
Chu Chenghuan smiled and said seriously, "Tingting, happy birthday."
Xie Ting was confused.
Really give it to him?
But his birthday is still early? And this golden rose that Chu Chenghuan spent nearly half a month making is just given to him like that?
Xie Ting was suspicious: "Did you find this useless, so you gave it to me as a last-minute birthday present? Chu Chenghuan, you're pushing it too far! It's still early for my birthday."
Chu Chenghuan asked darkly, "So I stayed up all these nights just to get you to kiss me? In your eyes, am I so easily satisfied?"
Xie Ting was silent.
Chu Chenghuan is a difficult person. This time, it seems that he is too easily satisfied?
Chu Chenghuan continued to remind him slowly, "Besides, if I really only wanted to win the competition, then I have dark circles under my eyes because of this competition, and a kiss won't satisfy me. After all, you didn't do anything, I even took your underwear."
Xie Ting blushed quickly. He knew Chu Cheng had deliberately stolen his underwear! Now was not the time to mention underwear. Xie Ting scratched his face and pretended to be stupid.
After teasing Xie Ting, Chu Chenghuan gently explained, "I just wanted a kiss. Mainly, I wanted to make up for your eighteenth birthday present. At that time, I was only thinking about sentimentality and forgot about the gift. After all, it's your eighteenth birthday, so it needs to be meaningful."
Xie Ting blinked.
On his 18th birthday, Chu Chenghuan did give him only a hug, but he was really moved by Chu Chenghuan's hug at that time. So now Chu Chenghuan feels that just being sentimental is not enough and plans to give him a birthday gift?
Xie Ting saw how many nights Chu Chenghuan had stayed up. He did wonder if Chu Chenghuan was being too attentive, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Chu Chenghuan really wanted him to kiss him.
Now that he's back to his senses, he's thinking about it. Chu Chenghuan is a very stingy person. How could he possibly send something like this, made by himself, to a competition? He'd rather throw away his own things than give them to others.
Even if Chu Chenghuan won a prize in a school competition, he would never turn his work in. For example, in a kindergarten doll painting competition, Chu Chenghuan painted a very realistic Ultraman and won first place.
The first place winner had to put his item on display at the school. Chu Chenghuan didn't want to hand it in, so he just gave it to him and said in a very childish voice, "Why should I give it to them, it's mine?"
Being young, he didn't hide his thoughts. Xie Ting was just happy to have another Ultraman figure. As a child, he loved everything Ultraman.
At this moment, it was like returning to childhood. Xie Ting felt a little touched, but he still reached out to return it to Chu Chenghuan, "Give me something else. This is too valuable."
Chu Chenghuan refused to take it, "Take it, or throw it in the trash can if you don't want it."
Xie Ting: “…”
This is a domineering young master!
Chu Chenghuan said so, but Xie Ting still accepted it. Because he really liked it! This was made by the young master himself! He liked gold, and he also liked roses. Chu Chenghuan, he also...
Xie Ting shifted his focus and asked quietly, "So, were you doing some earthy little theater back then?"
Chu Chenghuan believed that he and Xie Ting were one and the same, so he naturally didn't feel embarrassed and just nodded.
Xie Ting sighed: "Then I really understand you."
Chu Chenghuan raised the corners of his lips, and said cunningly: "Then I hope you can understand me until we grow old."
Xie Ting turned his face away awkwardly, holding the golden rose and went to his closet. Xie Ting opened the closet and stuffed the golden rose into the innermost part, saying in a muffled voice, "This is expensive and easy to be stolen. I'll keep it at home when I'm on vacation."
Chu Chenghuan curled his eyes and said, "Thank you."
After closing the wardrobe, Xie Ting pressed his head hard against the door.
He seems to be the kind of person who is easily moved. If he is moved, even a big villain will be moved!
Then Xie Ting woke up.
Chu Chenghuan is not a big devil. Chu Chenghuan and him have had a bond for eighteen years! In these eighteen years, the worst thing Chu Chenghuan did was to forcefully kiss him during the summer vacation.
But, but that's also his fault for having to find someone to pretend to be his girlfriend to provoke Chu Chenghuan!
Chu Chenghuan likes him, so it's normal for him to be angry.
Blame it, blame him!
