Chapter 70
The moment Feng Linjie finished speaking, everyone around them looked at the two of them with indescribable expressions. Cheng Xuyuan’s reaction was a bit slow, and he didn’t realize the ambiguity of the sentence. He just said coldly, “I don’t know you.”
“How could you be like this?” Feng Linjie was a bit anxious, “I’ve remembered you for so long, and you forgot about me just because you rode on me?”
“Cough.” The boss suddenly coughed, hinting that their conversation shouldn’t be so explicit.
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at him lightly, then continued to stare at his Takoyaki, not wanting to say another word.
Although his memory had been erased, the person in front of him gave him a feeling of disgust, so intense that it was uncomfortable.
“Here are your two servings of Takoyaki.” The boss carefully handed two boxes to Cheng Xuyuan, “That will be 20 yuan.”
Feng Linjie quickly took out his phone and said to Cheng Xuyuan, “Let me pay for you. I feel a bit embarrassed about what I did to you before…”
As he spoke, he grabbed Cheng Xuyuan’s arm.
The feeling of physical contact made Cheng Xuyuan very uncomfortable, but since he was in the shop, he couldn’t make a scene, so he just calmly removed his hand without reacting.
“No need.” Cheng Xuyuan took out a 20 yuan bill and handed it to the boss, “I’ll do it myself. Also, let me say it again, I don’t know you.”
After saying that, he walked out of the Takoyaki shop without looking back.
Feng Linjie hurriedly chased after him, shouting at his retreating figure, “Don’t leave me alone…”
Cheng Xuyuan clenched his fist secretly. He took out his phone, sent a message to his roommates to go back to school first, then he turned to look at the clingy stranger, smiled slightly, and his smile made the other person forget to think for a moment.
“Since you insist on sticking to me…” Cheng Xuyuan spoke in a very calm tone, “Then let’s find a place to talk.”
Feng Linjie looked at him with joy and quickly said, “Okay, okay!”
So, Cheng Xuyuan ate his Takoyaki while leisurely walking on the street, leading Feng Linjie around in circles, and came to the entrance of a deserted alley.
Cheng Xuyuan turned to look at Feng Linjie, threw the two empty boxes in his hand into the trash can, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
He slightly raised his chin, his beautiful eyes carried a warning message, and his voice was cold, “Have you never been beaten by a stranger?”
A glint flashed across Feng Linjie’s gold-rimmed glasses. Although he had experienced being beaten up by this beautiful young man, he had been practicing Sanda for a long time in the past two years, so he was not afraid of him fighting back now.
“I don’t want to fight with you,” Feng Linjie blinked, pretending to be aggrieved, “It’s just because you forgot about me, I’m very sad.”
Cheng Xuyuan cracked his knuckles, gritting his teeth as he said, “If I've forgotten, then I've forgotten. Do I need to write an apology letter for you? If you know what’s good for you, get lost.”
Feng Linjie was startled by his aura, but he stubbornly stared at him. As he slowly approached, he muttered, “There’s no need for an apology. If you give me a little compensation, I’ll forgive you…”
Cheng Xuyuan sneered, “I suggest you go to the hospital for a brain check.”
“Slap—”
At this moment, Feng Linjie suddenly put his hand on the wall behind Cheng Xuyuan, making a crisp sound.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't expect to be pushed to a corner by this gentle scum. He immediately frowned, and the next second he instinctively raised his knee, hitting the opponent's crotch hard.
“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck...” Feng Linjie's face turned green instantly. He frowned in pain. He couldn't care less about maintaining the Kabedon. He twisted his hands to cover his injured part, his tone was incredulous, “You, you actually kicked me in the crotch...”
Cheng Xuyuan felt that every word he said was a waste of time. He pushed the other person aside and said coldly, “You might need to make an appointment with a urologist now. If you dare to provoke me again, I’ll send you to the emergency room.”
After saying this, he walked away without looking back, his silhouette cold and ruthless.
“No wonder I’m attracted to him,” Feng Linjie comforted himself, even as tears streamed from the corners of his eyes due to the pain. “He’s so strong.”

When Cheng Xuyuan returned to school, his face looked unfriendly, and his roommates didn’t dare to ask too many questions. Qi Zimo brought a set of military uniforms to him and said, “The class leader asked us to get the uniforms. I got you a set that’s the same size as mine since our body types are similar.”
“Thank you,” Cheng Xuyuan took the uniform and sighed inwardly. He really hated standing at attention.
Although it was early September, the weather was still hot. At the military training mobilization meeting, the class teacher specifically reminded everyone to protect themselves from the sun and avoid heatstroke.
As a class assistant, Liu Yuda naturally had to follow them. He patted his chest and assured everyone, “If any of you get sick, I will personally take you to the hospital.”
Whether it was a case of predicting the future or just bad luck, many people couldn’t stand the military posture on the first day. About half an hour in, a girl suffered from heatstroke.
Liu Yuda wanted to slap himself. He looked at the pitiful girl and had no choice but to fulfill his promise, helping her to the school hospital.
Ten minutes later, Qi Zimo also started to feel dizzy. However, he still stood firm until he lost consciousness and swayed a few times before falling back into Cheng Xuyuan’s arms.
Cheng Xuyuan quickly caught Qi Zimo and reported the situation to the instructor. He then helped Qi Zimo to the side to drink water and asked him, “How are you feeling? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Although Qi Zimo was dizzy, he still noticed the fresh scent on Cheng Xuyuan, which stirred his emotions. He thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the school hospital. I think I might have heatstroke.”
Cheng Xuyuan nodded, “Then I’ll go with you.”
Qi Zimo suppressed a smile, “Hmm.”
When they arrived at the school hospital, there were already many people in line for treatment, most of them in military uniforms. Qi Zimo’s condition wasn’t too serious. The doctor gave him some heat-relief medicine and told him to rest in the ward.
In the ward, Cheng Xuyuan saw Liu Yuda and greeted him.
“Qi Zimo, you’re here too?” Liu Yuda joked, “You’re really making us northerners lose face.”
Qi Zimo shyly lowered his head to drink water. In reality, he just wanted to spend more time alone with Cheng Xuyuan.
After drinking two cups of water, Qi Zimo’s face was flushed. He didn’t look sick at all. He felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so he told Cheng Xuyuan that they could go back and continue the military training. Liu Yuda was moved by his dedication and said, “I thought you would get a sick leave note.”
“I’m not that kind of person!” Qi Zimo had thought about doing that, but he didn’t want Cheng Xuyuan to think he was a coward who liked to escape.
Liu Yuda said to them, “Then you two go ahead, I’ll take care of her.” He pointed to the girl with heatstroke next to him.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded, helped Qi Zimo pack up his things, and they left the ward together.
After they walked away, Liu Yuda suddenly saw a student card on the bed across from him. He picked it up in confusion and found that it was Cheng Xuyuan’s student card.
The student card was taken during high school. He was wearing a blue and white school uniform. He looked a bit naive, but there was a sense of youthful sunshine.
Liu Yuda put the student card in his pocket, planning to return it to Cheng Xuyuan when they went to the playground later.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
Liu Yuda took out the student card, took a picture of it with his phone, and then sent it to the dormitory group of four people.
[Let me show you the good-looking freshman I mentioned last time. (Picture)]
In the picture was a typical ID photo. The poor photography skills couldn’t hide the boy’s rosy lips and white teeth. His obsidian-like eyes seemed to be able to look directly into people’s hearts through the screen.
Peng Yuan and Zhang Yongbo quickly responded.
[Peng Yuan: Wow?! This face?!]
[Zhang Yongbo: …Is this a real student card photo?! Why is it not the same style as mine!]
Liu Yuda was very satisfied with their reactions and replied in the group, “How about it, isn’t he more handsome than Gu Juncheng?”
[Peng Yuan: I admit that Gu Juncheng’s position as the most handsome guy in the Computer Science Department is not secure. @Gu Juncheng]
[Zhang Yongbo: Gu Juncheng will be the second most handsome in the Computer Science Department in the future, don’t be sad. @Gu Juncheng]
[Peng Yuan: Nonsense, he is the third, I am the second, and this little Cheng student is the first. @Gu Juncheng]
At that moment, Gu Juncheng was busy dealing with documents. WeChat messages kept popping up on his screen, but he didn’t want to deal with them, so he turned on airplane mode.
As lunchtime approached, a classmate reminded him, “You should go eat first. Otherwise, you’ll have to compete with the freshmen for food in the cafeteria. They just finished military training, and each of them has the strength of ten of us.”
Gu Juncheng thought his classmate made a good point. He put down what he was doing, picked up his phone, and prepared to go to the cafeteria.
While walking, he finally turned off airplane mode and opened the WeChat group. The first thing he saw was the three bored roommates constantly mentioning him in their messages.
Gu Juncheng was usually not interested in these kinds of messages. However, seeing the three people in the group praising the looks of the freshman, he couldn’t help but be curious and scrolled up the message interface.
A student ID photo caught his eye.
After opening the picture, Gu Juncheng’s eyes widened instantly, and he even forgot to breathe for a moment.
His fingertips trembled slightly, and his scalp tingled.
Meanwhile.
Liu Yuda, who was watching the juniors suffer in a corner of the playground, received a phone call. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Gu Juncheng.
After answering, Gu Juncheng’s anxious voice came through.
“Where are you?!”
His voice was too anxious, not like him at all. You should know that Gu Juncheng was always calm and composed, and he never lost his cool.
Liu Yuda was taken aback and replied, “I, I’m on the playground…”
“You’re the class assistant for that guy?!”
“Ah? Which one?”
Gu Juncheng wished he could crawl out of the phone and knock on his head. He said, “The one you posted in the group, the one you all unanimously think is more handsome than me!”
Liu Yuda suddenly realized and said, “Oh, you mean Xiao Cheng. He’s our direct junior. What’s wrong, are you angry? Come on, I at least ranked you third in the Computer Science Department…”
“East playground, right? I’m going there to find that guy now,” Gu Juncheng’s tone was very firm.
Liu Yuda was stunned and said, “Ah? You want to find him? Are you planning to feed him a poisoned apple, so you can become the most handsome man in the Computer Science Department…”
“Are you sick, Liu Yuda?”
Just then, the instructor called for dismissal. The students all picked up their water bottles as if they had been pardoned. They wiped their sweat and headed to the cafeteria, their green military uniforms blending into a sea under the sun.
“Um…” Liu Yuda swallowed, “They’ve been dismissed. You might not find anyone if you come now…”
“I’m already at the gate.”
