Chu Nan’s expression sunk. From Ruan Yan’s words, it seemed as if he really would tell Yan Yan.

 

Chu Nan was slightly worried as to what Yan Yan would think of him, but on second thought, Yan Yan was so deeply in love with him that she would even secretly peek at him changing clothes. How could she possibly fall for Ruan Yan’s instigation?

 

Chu Nan was reassured and once again recovered his lawless personality. Staring at Ruan Yan provokingly, a shred of vicious light hung by the corner of his eyes, “Of course I’ll remember. Yan Yan is so cute and innocent; how could she possibly believe you?”

 

He suddenly leaned forward and placed a finger on the table as he glared at Ruan Yan hostilely.

 

Ruan Yan didn’t want to stay too close to the dumb male lead of a Mary Sue romance novel. What would he do if, just when he was praising Ran Yan, he was suddenly possessed to force a kiss down on him?

 

After all, Chu Nan did have a criminal record of “raising his flag” (1) to Ruan Yan in the past.

 

Ruan Yan secretly grasped his hands into a fist and leaned back, turning his face away, “Doesn’t your skin feel numb (2) from saying all this?”

 

Chu Nan let out a smile that was not a smile, “What? Jealous?”

 

Without waiting for Ruan Yan to reply, he stopped smiling and stood up straight, “If your instigation succeeds, I’ll call you dad. However, if your instigation doesn’t succeed, then you’ll have to call me dad in front of Yan Yan.”

 

Ruan Yan coldly replied, “I’m afraid that you won’t dare to compete.”

 

Not only not daring to compete, he would probably even kneel on a durian pleading for forgiveness later.

 

Chu Nan sneered, “Scared?”

 

Ruan Yan really didn’t have the heart to expose Chu Nan. He and Chu Nan’s bet, wouldn’t winning and losing all depend on his own mood?

 

And now, his mood was terrible, “Not scared. It’s time for lunch right now, you go and make the noodles. Don’t delay class time.”

Chu Nan’s tightened his jaw. This guy still wasn’t willing to change his manners and was set on ordering him around?

 

“I’ve said it before, are you willing to eat JB flavoured noodles?”

 

“I’ll eat it if you dare to cook it.” Ruan Yan was in a bad mood and directly stuffed Chu Nan’s words back in.

 

Chu Nan was shocked by how thick his face was, and his expression continuously changed, until at last, he stormed downstairs angrily.

 

After a moment, he returned with two bowls of steaming hot noodles, heavily slamming one of them down in front of Ruan Yan, “Take it and eat. I specially made this flavour for you, it’s especially thick.”

 

Ruan Yan took a look at the noodles. It wasn’t the seafood flavour he asked for. Then, Chu Nan was only being dirty just then. (3)

 

“Thank you.”

 

He carefully picked up a chopstick of noodles, the foggy white steam curling up over his black peach blossom eyes, appearing ethereally beautiful.

 

“Did you chop off your own?” Ruan Yan’s expression was scholarly as the blunt words came out of his mouth. It didn’t seem as if he was eating instant noodles, but rather that he was eating an expensive meal inside a high class restaurant.

 

“Pu—” Chu Nan choked. He was only trying to nauseate Ruan Yan before, but he didn’t expect that a straight A student like Ruan Yan could also say such things.

 

Chu Nan wiped his mouth with a tissue as he snorted, “What good things are you thinking about now?”

 

Ruan Yan only intended to rebut once and settled down, eating his noodles.

 

Once he finished, he stood up, “Chu Nan, where’s the bathroom?”

 

Chu Nan pointed to inside the room, “Didn’t you see me come out of there this morning?”

 

“Not this one.” Ruan Yan objected, lightly explaining, “You only just showered in there, I’m not using it.”

 

“Unreasonable!” Chu Nan scoffed, “Why do you act like a girl? Go out and turn left, it’s the last room.”

 

Ruan Yan ignored his provocation and went out with his bag.

 

He went into the toilet and took out Ran Yan’s phone, making a call to Chu Nan.

 

“Yan Yan.” Chu Nan picked it up within a second, his lips curving up into a smile. It was Saturday today, seeing that Yan Yan called him, it must be because she missed him too much.

 

On the other end, Ruan Yan changed to a crisp, milky voice expressionlessly, “Chu Nan, I miss you, what are you doing?”

 

“Yan Yan, your voice is so nice to listen to.” Chu Nan sighed. His voice sounded more rich and pleasing to ears than normal as it came out of the phone.

 

Ruan Yan was caught off guard and was hit in the face with a bunch of flirtatious words. A hint of angered humiliation slipped over his face.

 

“Chu Nan, have you eaten lunch yet?”

 

“En.” Chu Nan relished in talking with Ran Yan, “Yan Yan, have you eaten yet?”

 

Ruan Yan was just waiting for him to ask this as he lowered his voice and replied hesitantly, “En… I guess so.”

 

Chu Nan raised his brow. Why was she hesitating?

 

“What did you eat?”

 

Ruan Yan wore a calm expression as he replied in a voice leaking with grievances, “Instant noodles.”

 

He glanced at the door and made sure that no one was there before complaining, “There’s no nutrients in instant noodles at all, and it also tastes horrible. Chu Nan~ I’m so hungry.”

 

Chu Nan’s heart broke, “Yan Yan, why would you eat instant noodles?”

 

“I went to work, and the boss would only give me instant noodles.”

 

Chu Nan almost wanted to tell her to stop working, but he’d heard about Ran Yan’s family background before and was scared about hurting her pride.

 

The expression in Chu Nan’s eyes turned gloomy, “Your boss is too much! Yan Yan, don’t let yourself suffer so much, you still have me.”

 

At worst, he would just sell his model watch.

 

Just wait until after he graduated and started interning at his family’s company. Then, there would be no way that he couldn’t afford to raise Yan Yan.

 

Ruan Yan continued, “Chu Nan, you don’t know… He’s taller and stronger than me, but he won’t even let me eat until I’m full.”

 

“He really is a beast!” Chu Nan was filled with righteous indignation, and a fierce light bloomed within his eyes as he tyrannically said, “In the future… I definitely won’t make you eat instant noodles.”

 

Ruan Yan instantly felt relaxed after hearing Chu Nan’s words. He was bullied by Chu Nan this entire day, now, he finally felt more comfortable.

 

As Chu Nan rambled on in the phone warning him to look after his body, Ruan Yan gripped the phone and replied naturally, “Chu Nan, don’t talk about these useless things. Why don’t you help me scold that boss of mine, ma~”

 

Chu Nan was completely infatuated and helped crushingly scold that boss.

 

He swore until his mouth was parched, and squinted, asking, “Where are you? Don’t work there anymore, I’ll go pick you up now.”

Now that it had come to this step, Ruan Yan was forced to stop.

 

He replied, “I… I know, Chu Nan, you don’t have to worry about me. Oh yeah, someone told me that you were swearing again today, you promised me that you wouldn’t do it anymore.”

 

Chu Nan’s heart sunk. As expected, Ruan Yan really did tell on him!

 

“Yan Yan, who’s slandering me?” Chu Nan’s voice was 4 parts calm and 8 parts worried, to the extent that he became even more confident. It was just as if he really was slandered.

 

“Aren’t you clear on what kind of personality I have?”

 

Ruan Yan sneered. I can’t be more clear. What a hypocrite.

 

He didn’t answer Chu Nan and instead, supported the other party first, “The other person had a clear story and logic, how could it be slander? How can you be like this? Always lying to me, and even saying such coarse words… I’m feeling complicated right now, bye.”

 

The call was ended.

 

Chu Nan: …

 

He gradually began to panic. Knowing that it was Ruan Yan who caused all this, he prepared to go out and drag that criminal back out of the toilet himself.

 

Just at this time, Ruan Yan pushed the door open, and as if completely witless about what was going on, he looked at Chu Nan’s stinky face and questioningly asked, “Why’s your face this colour?”

 

Chu Nan resisted the urge to pull him over right now and violently bash him up, sarcastically replying, “So good at pretending. What’s the point of pretending to be a white lotus in front of me?”

 

Ruan Yan glanced at him icily, “Ran Yan told you?”

 

“So it really was you.” Chu Nan gnashed his teeth.

 

Ruan Yan calmly replied, “When are you going to carry out the terms of our bet?”

 

“You want hear lao-zi calling you dad so much?” Chu Nan rushed over angrily, his fists going ge-zhi ge-zhi from how tightly he was clenching them.

 

“If you want to bet, then you must get accustomed to losing.” Ruan Yan reminded him, “If you hit me, then I’ll tell Ran Yan.”

 

“Do you still want face? Depending on a girl to help you settle your affairs.” Chu Nan was bemused. How could there be such a shameless man in the world?

 

Ruan Yan ignored him and Chu Nan took out his phone, “I’m going to call Yan Yan right now. You need to help me clarify.”

 

Ruan Yan averted his face and didn’t look at Chu Nan’s phone.

 

Chu Nan’s brow jumped. Taking advantage of his height and long arms, he pushed the phone forward again, placing it in front of Ruan Yan’s face.

 

This time, Ruan Yan straightforwardly turned away from Chu Nan, “Only when you’re explaining a misunderstanding or correcting a mistake can it be called clarify. What you’re talking about, is perjury.”

 

Chu Nan: …

 

“Who cares about your this and that, don’t try to be clever with me. Quickly clarify for me.” He ran up again and almost stuffed the phone into Ruan Yan’s face before dialling.

 

30 seconds. 1 minute. 2 minutes.

 

Chu Nan listened to the dialling sound in despair. Yan Yan wouldn’t even answer his calls!

 

Gloomy, angry frustration emanated from his entire body.

 

“Yan Yan’s definitely busy with something right now…” Chu Nan said, “Just wait a bit, she’ll pick up in a moment.”

 

Ruan Yan glanced at him and prepared to go out.

 

Chu Nan immediately shouted, “You’re not allowed to go out. You need to help me clarify first.”

If I don’t go out, then who’s going to pick up your call?

 

There was no way for Ruan Yan and Chu Nan to communicate, so he icily replied, “She won’t pick up your call.”

“What do you know?” Chu Nan snorted angrily. Ruan Yan… was definitely ridiculing him. His tone was extremely terrible as he asked, “Are you going to clarify for me or not?”

 

Ruan Yan’s face remained cold, “Call me dad first.”

“You want me to call you dad? Fine, then I’ll serve you today.” Just as Chu Nan finished speaking, he immediately wrapped an arm around Ruan Yan’s waist and raised him over his shoulder.

 

Ruan Yan felt dizzy for a moment and grasped onto Chu Nan’s clothes in panic, “What are you doing?”

 

“Doing you!(4)” Chu Nan fiercely replied.

 

He threw Ruan Yan onto the bed before getting on as well and shaking out the quilt.

 

Ruan Yan’s entire person was rolled up in the quilt, crouched on the bed. Not only was it suffocatingly hot, but he also couldn’t move around freely.

 

“You can suffocate in there for as long as Yan Yan doesn’t pick up my call.” Chu Nan threw down his words, “Don’t think I haven’t noticed your intentions. You want to destroy Yan Yan’s impression of me and take advantage of it to promote yourself.”

 

He continued, “You won’t get that opportunity.”

Chu Nan persevered in calling Ran Yan without rest, whilst Ruan Yan also grew angry as he suffocated inside the quilt.

 

Since Chu Nan was so persistent in looking for stimulation, then don’t blame him for being merciless.

 

Ruan Yan did his best to move around in the tiny space, turning off the voice recording and microphone on his phone before accepting the call.

 

Chu Nan was overjoyed, “Yan Yan, did you go out to do something just then?”

 

Ruan Yan definitely wouldn’t speak, thus no one answered him. There was no sound on the other side of the phone at all.

 

Time gradually slipped by. Chu Nan went from being confident to being despondent, resembling a lonely, ferocious lion.

 

His grip on the phone loosened slowly, and Ruan Yan stuck his head out of the quilts, “Cough… What a pity, I wanted to help you originally, but she appears to be angry and won’t even talk to you. I’m afraid that I can’t help even though I’m willing to.”

 

Chu Nan: “You’ll die if you don’t talk?”

 

Today, neither of them were in the mood to continue on with the lesson, and Ruan Yan left after straightening his clothes.

 

Chu Nan was extremely pained. Yan Yan was ignoring him…

 

Sad and frustrated, he gave Ju Ping a call, “…The situation basically went like this. Yan Yan loves me so much, but someone slandered me in front of her…”

Ju Ping said, “Wasn’t it just a bit of swearing? Brother Chu, that’s known as manliness.”

 

“I didn’t call you for you to flatter me, I’m asking you what to do.” Chu Nan recalled that Ju Ping had been in a relationship before.

 

Ju Ping racked his brain for an idea, “Brother Chu, that Ruan Yan’s just slandering you in order to contrast how good he is. All you have to do is expose his true appearance in front of sister in law! Brother Chu, what weaknesses does that Ruan Yan have?”

 

Chu Nan didn’t even blink as he named a bunch, “Lazy, has no strength, likes throwing tantrums, fake, has mysophobia, is cowardly.”

 

This… Ju Ping whispered lowly, “Brother Chu, my cousin’s haunted house is opening tomorrow. There aren’t any human actors inside, only machines, but the affect is even more scary than having real people act. How about we invite sister in law and Ruan Yan to go have a look together tomorrow? Let sister in law see how bad Ruan Yan is.”

 

“Good.” Chu Nan cinched the deal.

 

He needed to invite Yan Yan and Ruan Yan first.

 

Chu Nan restlessly sent Ran Yan a message and received an “ok”.

 

Then, he also sent a message to Ruan Yan. The reply said: “Tomorrow is tutoring, depends on your performance.”

The meaning was, if he behaved well, then he could go. If he didn’t, then he couldn’t go.

 

 

Translator’s Notes:

(1) Yep, let’s just hope this is clear enough. Otherwise, if you really wanna be blunt, then let’s go with erection. ^^

(2) Could be understood as he’s saying that Chu Nan’s words are cringey

(3) Um… Slightly unsure as to whether it’s my comprehension that’s wrong, or if it’s just not logical, but... this doesn’t quite work out as RY already knew that CN was being dirty before, but… hehe

(4) To be honest, I don’t think this needs an explanation, but… heh. Basically the same meaning as he’s going to f***k him
