[R18] Pretending to be a scumbag – “Pretending to Be a Scumbag” Chapter 22 [English]

Chapter 22

The classroom of Class 3, Grade 2, was completely dark. Those who didn’t know it thought the evening self-study class had ended.

“What are they doing again?” He Chao walked behind, vaguely having a bad premonition.

Xie Yu leaned against the door, squinting and barely able to see the scene in the class.

Wanda heard the footsteps, turned around, and shouted in surprise: “What a coincidence, we are about to start, together?”

He Chao took two steps back and was pulled back by Xie Yu.

“We won’t tell stories today,” Wanda said. “We’ll play Pen Fairy. The mad dog just left, so it’s safe.”

“Brother Chao, sit here, I’ve specially reserved a seat for you.” He Chao is usually more active, and Wanda never forgets to call “he” during any activities. “…It’s very exciting.”

He Chaoxin said that it was so exciting. If he didn’t study hard every day, he would just mess around.

After Wanda finished speaking, she felt that it was not appropriate to leave Xie Yu standing alone, and asked again: “Brother Yu is coming?”

“Come,” since there was no way to escape, and Dora would go into the water alone, He Chao answered for Xie Yu, “he come.”

There are four people playing.

Others stood and watched.

Xu Qingqing is a very fierce woman. She slapped her thigh and said that she wanted to be the “lead of questions”: “I’ll ask!”

After she finished speaking, she took hold of the pencil.

Wanda put her hand on Xu Qingqing’s hand and said without objection: “Okay, you ask.”

He Chao didn’t want to move at first, but Wanda stared at him, obviously not daring to touch Xie Yu’s hand, so He Chao quickly put his hand on it.

Xie Yu is too distant.

It’s not that he did anything, even just lying there quietly and sleeping, to make people stay away from him.He Chao is the only one in the class who dares to talk and laugh with him, and he is still living strong to this day.

Xie Yu is the last one.

He raised his hand to cover the back of He Chao’s hand. It was obviously summer, but He Chao felt a chill on Xie Yu’s fingertips.

This cold feeling burned on the back of his hand.

He couldn’t explain what it was like. His thoughts suddenly wandered away. I was still worried about this crappy game, but suddenly there were no thoughts in my head.

“Close your eyes, close your eyes first,” Wanda said, “Don’t open your eyes, otherwise your soul will be taken away when it comes.”

“How can you tell what’s circled when you close your eyes?”

“…This is what is written in this guide. It is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not.”

“Okay, close it, close it, and then open it again when it comes.”

Xie Yu didn’t quite believe this. He held He Chao’s hand with one hand, and the other hand was still on the table, leaning against his head, and turned his face to look at He.

This man kept saying that he was not afraid of dogs, and his eyes were closed tighter than anyone else’s.

Not long after, He Chao couldn’t help but ask: “Are you okay?”

Xu Qingqing was still reciting the mantra: “In the past life, I was your present life. If you want to renew your relationship with me… don’t interrupt me, it can’t come so fast.”

This man has very long eyelashes.

Xie Yu stared for a while.

Although the classroom was dark, Wanda turned on the flashlight, which made the paper on the table glow, and the surrounding scenery also lit up a few degrees.

Half of He Chao’s face was hidden in the night, while the other half was lightly outlined by the white light.

He has a high nose, strong facial features, and a strong youthful air between his brows and eyes. There is an inexplicable sense of oppression when he is neither talking nor smiling.He Chao had several piercings in his right ear, and Xie Yu suddenly remembered that when they first met during the summer vacation, He had two rings in his ears, and he was so sexy.

He Chao waited for a while with his eyes closed, but he couldn’t close his eyes any longer.Wanda even played a weird and ethereal BGM soundtrack. Xu Qingqing also couldn’t recite the mantra properly, and had to recite it as if she was possessed by a ghost.

He feels that if he keeps it closed any longer, all the monsters and monsters will have a carnival party around him.

Then he slowly opened his eyes and unexpectedly met Xie Yu’s eyes.

The two looked at each other inexplicably: “…”

Xu Qingqing finally finished reciting the mantra, and before asking questions, she warned her again: “Don’t open your eyes, you’ll be seduced.”

Seeing He Chao looking at him in a daze, Xie Yu thought that this man was pretending to be calm again and was trembling inside. He smiled lukewarmly and mouthed to He Chao: It’s fake.

Although Xu Qingqing is usually carefree, she still exposed her little girl nature when asking questions. She hesitated for a long time, trying to get everyone to cover their ears, and finally asked: “Does he… like me?”

“Who is it,” Wanda jumped out first, “Tell me the name, who is it? Why don’t I know, which piece of cow dung seduced Yi Zhihua, our third class?”

Xu Qingqing: “Whether you are annoyed or not is none of your business.”

Wanda: “Impossible. Any trouble in the whole grade can’t escape my eyes.”

Xu Qingqing: “… Just save it.”

Finally, the pen tip landed on the word “no”.

He Chao was panicking: “Can this thing really move?”

“Shh, don’t say that, it’s disrespectful to Bixian.” Wanda said.

He Chao: “What will happen if you don’t respect me?”

Before Wanda could organize her words, she heard Xie Yu say concisely and clearly: “I will come to you in the evening.”

“…”

He Chao had nothing to ask. Wanda also said that it would be disrespectful to Bixian to invite him without asking. He Chao thought for a long time and finally asked: “Is there anyone more handsome than me in the world?”

Xu Qingqing: “Shameless.”

Wanda: “You are shameless.”

Xie Yu: “Huh.”

“Boss, it’s your turn.” Wanda winked at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu said: “I don’t have anything to ask.”

He Chao: “No, that’s disrespectful.”

Xie Yu: “…”

When Zhou Dalei called Xie Yu, he could tell that Boss Xie was in a good mood before they even exchanged a few words: “What happened? Are you so happy?”

Xie Yu didn’t say anything, but asked, “What about you? You’ve been having fun since you called me.”

“That brat from Damei called today!” Zhou Dalei said, “Don’t worry, I scolded you as well. This brat is really itchy, so I can’t do it without scolding him.”

This call to Damei was really unexpected. For overseas phone calls, no one complained that the call was expensive. Lei’s mother, Aunt Mei, and the others lined up to chat with Damei. Zhou Dalei held on to the phone for dear life. In the end, he stuck out his butt and leaned his upper body out of the window to prevent these wolf-like neighbors from snatching the phone away. In the end, Lei’s mother kicked him on the butt and almost fell from the fourth floor.

Xie Yu imagined the scene for a moment: “This is really my mother.”

Dalei said: “Mom, what a mocking word.”

“Damei said that he is fine there, so don’t worry. This guy is still showing off, saying that although his looks are not very popular at home, when he goes abroad, everyone thinks he is an extremely handsome guy, and that pot of broken flowers is really his favorite, and he thinks about it all day long.”

“I told him that the dilapidated court where we used to play together was demolished – it was surrounded by a few rags, and calling it a court was a compliment. But a new activity center and a new court were built in the neighborhood! We have been waiting for a new court after living for so many years! The smell of plastic has been exposed to the sun, and the smell makes our whole body comfortable. When he comes back, we can play together again.”

Zhou Dalei talked a lot.

Xie Yu listened and occasionally responded.

“Thank you boss, are you going to sleep?”

“No, go on.”

Zhou Dalei made the call while standing on the balcony. It was late at night, and he was afraid of disturbing his family. He held a cigarette between his fingers, and the cigarette butt flickered in the night. He shook off the ashes and said, “What are you talking about? Actually, I’m quite sad.”

Xie Yu said nothing.

“Don’t listen to me sound like I’m happy,” Zhou Dalei’s voice lowered. He didn’t know if he was smoking or something, but the end of his voice was a little gravelly, “…forget it, stop talking, what am I talking about.”

Zhou Dalei stood on the balcony and looked down. He saw the scenery for more than ten years, the messy wires, and the air-conditioning quilt that someone forgot to take back and was blown downstairs by the wind.

Looking further into the distance, we can see the concrete basketball court that was once fenced with a few rags and has now been turned into a public toilet.The public toilets are built better than the houses like ours, in European style, with several small pointed spires standing there abruptly.

He was about to hang up the phone when he heard Xie Yu say: “I’m sad too, what’s happening every day, the second young master of the Zhong family, the second young master of the Zhong family, the eldest young master and the second young master are shouting like shit.”

Zhou Dalei’s lingering melancholy was scolded away by Xie Yu.

He put out the cigarette, laughed, and also cursed: “Fuck you, uncle, I like to play ball among rags with my brothers. Changing the court affects my performance. Do you know that there will be one less NBA star in the world because of this? And this toilet is really ugly. One day it will blow up for you.”

Neither of them said anything pretentious about what they were holding back, but they felt much relieved.

“I had a fight with an idiot today,” Xie Yu said with a smile, “You know my deskmate.”

Zhou Dalei asked: “How come I know your deskmate? We are not in the same city. Are you handsome?”

Xie Yu said: “You are so handsome.”

“…”

Zhou Dalei thought that he had seen very few handsome guys in his life. Apart from he himself who could bear this title, the only other person left was Xie Yu – completely forgetting that in the public security bureau during the summer vacation, he kept squatting down and holding his head while praising someone for being handsome.

“No way, you are just kidding me.”

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Dalei suddenly stopped talking. He held his breath and concentrated for a while, and then asked: “What is the sound?”

“Thank you, boss, what’s the sound over there? It’s weird.”

Xie Yu also heard it, and there was another knock on the door from nowhere. This time it was very close to He’s dormitory. He said casually: “… Congratulations, this is a strange story in our dormitory.”

Zhou Dalei: “Your dormitory is still haunted???”

“Are you surprised?” Xie Yu said, “I’ll tell you later. The handsome guy is probably trembling in bed. I’ll go over and watch.”
