“RunWei, thank you for coming with me.” You NiNi said to her friend as they walked down the path.

  Luo RunWei’s expression was unhappy, but she still replied: “If it wasn’t so late, I wouldn’t have come with you.”


  You NiNi took her arm. “I swear, I really don’t know Zheng PingQing that well, ah.”


  Luo RunWei rolled her eyes. “That has nothing to do with me.”


  Then she asked: “Do you really have to go so late into the night?”


  You NiNi grinned. “I heard from Xu Shuang that they’re going to play truth or dare……”


  Luo RunWei immediately understood. Any group of teenagers with at least some sort of familiarity with each other will always end up divulging some juicy secrets in a game of truth or dare. You NiNi obviously didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

  Luo RunWei sighed. “Do your really like Lin Qian that much? That guy has a good relationship with Zheng PingQing……Lin Qian’s probably just as trashy as that delinquent.”


  You NiNi felt quite confident when she replied: “No way. Lin Qian is definitely much better than Zheng PingQing. I’m pretty confident with my intuition……”


  Before she could finish her sentence, Luo RunWei suddenly yanked her back, almost making her fall.

  You NiNi frowned at Luo RunWei. “What are you doing?”


  However, Luo RunWei was unable to answer. Her eyes were glued to the front, and her expression was full of disbelief.

  You NiNi felt her heart thump, and she suddenly had a terrible premonition. She slowly turned her head to the direction Luo RunWei was looking at……

  You NiNi: “.……”


  She could see the campfire in the distance. At the edge of this campfire, two tall and handsome boys stood, locked in an embrace and……kissing!!!

  The big campfire continued to burn, bathing the area in a scarlet glow. Although the faces of the two boys were a little fuzzy, their upstanding bodies made their identities distinguishable at a glance.

  In fact, their kiss was only shallow and not particularly intense. But under the light of the fire, the scene transformed into something breath-taking.

  However, You NiNi’s heart was ice-cold.

  The kiss was swift, and soon, the group began to chatter and make trouble once more.

  The two girls could faintly hear their conversations:

  “Boss Qing and Boss Qian are the perfect couple, ah. They’re the best couple in No.12……no, in the city……bah, they’re the best couple in all of China!”


  “Two families coming together through marriage, good karma forever, may you have a harmonious union……”


  “Baby Dou, you used your congratulatory words wrong. It doesn’t fit the occasion, ah. Put your flattery away already……”


  “No way. I worked hard to memorize it. I have to use it!”
……

  Who knows how long it took, but eventually, Luo RunWei and You NiNi’s brains finally came back online. They looked at each other in the dim light and saw embarrassment in each other’s eyes.

  You NiNi patted her chest and, with a calm voice, said: “You’re right. They’re the same.”


  “Maybe it’s just a really bad dare……” Luo RunWei tried to comfort her.

  “Even if it’s just a bad dare, Zheng PingQing……they’re both guys……”


  Luo RunWei nodded. “Yeah, so nauseating.”


  But they both knew that it wasn’t a dare. Even if they had to kiss for a dare, the reactions of the teenagers around the two boys were clearly abnormal.

  You NiNi’s voice calmed down, then she silently looked at Luo RunWei. “Let’s go back.”


  Luo RunWei’s tone was decisive as she replied: “Wrong, we never went out tonight.”


  “Oh, yes.” You NiNi nodded vigorously.

  The two looked at each other with tacit understanding, then turned back around. As they walked off, the girls still felt a little uneasy.

  You NiNi said: “I never liked Lin Qian, alright?”


  Luo RunWei replied: “I’ve never liked Zheng PingQing. You’re not allowed to tell anyone, got it?”


  You NiNi: “If you tell anyone……I’ll expose you right away.”


  Luo RunWei immediately told her: “That’ll be up to you. You’re not allowed to expose me; otherwise……this sister will have no other choice but to expose you too.”


  To show solemnity, the two shook hands.

  After shaking hands, the two looked at their clasped hands. For some reason, the two girls suddenly felt uncomfortable.

  You NiNi quickly released her sister’s hand. “.……Let’s keep a distance between each other first.”


  Luo RunWei readily agreed. “Alright.”


  When they left their rented villa, the girls still had the innocent air of young girls in love. But when they returned, their eyes had the haunted look of a person who had experienced the stark realities of life.

  Halfway through their journey back, they encountered Xu Shuang and another female classmate, hand in hand, heading towards them.

  As soon as Xu Shuang saw them, she smiled and winked. “Hehe, You NiNi, you’re back already? Didn’t you ask me about the No.12 students? What happened?”


  With an indifferent expression on her face, You NiNi told her: “I didn’t go. Luo RunWei and I just went for a walk by the beach.”


  Xu Shuang didn’t believe her and instead teased: “Really? You didn’t go look for Classmate Lin?”


  Luo RunWei said: “Who’s Classmate Lin? We just looked at the crabs, ah.”


  Seeing their aloof expressions, Xu Shuang could only take their words as the truth even if she didn’t believe it. So she stopped her teasing and said: “We were going to invite some of the No.12 people to go play. Do you want to go with us?”


  At the mention of the No.12 group, the distant expressions on Luo RunWei and You NiNi finally cracked.

  You NiNi sincerely advised Xu Shuang: “I don’t think you should go. The people in No.12 are pretty weird.”


  Two boys kissing in public was scandalous enough, but the other people in their group actually cheered them on……

  Ugh, they were forced to relive that dark time once more……

  They had always felt that No. 12 wasn’t a normal school, and now, it seems that they were right.

  But they had no evidence of this, so You NiNi didn’t actually expect Xu Shuang to believe her cautionary words. But Xu Shuang actually took her seriously and said: “They sort of are. Classmate Dong MingEn is a little weird, but I guess even boys have the right to be cute and root for a CP……”


  Although her heart struggled with this piece of information, in the end, Dong MingEn’s handsome looks tempted Xu Shuang to disregard her misgivings. She felt like she shouldn’t make conclusions so hastily. This was why she was looking to invite him to play.

  At this point in time, the ‘Shipping’ concept hadn’t been popularized yet, so the two school flowers didn’t quite understand Xu Shuang’s words. However, they thought that Xu Shuang understood and still decided to willfully go towards the mountain despite the presence of tigers, so the two girls no longer tried to dissuade her.

  Xu Shuang, with the other female classmate by her side, happily went towards the No. 12 group’s villa.

  At the same time, in front of the rented villa that belonged to the No. 12 group.

  The evil bottle finally pointed towards Dong MingEn.

  “Dare, dare!” Lou XingGuang didn’t give his brother any sort of consideration whatsoever.

  Dong MingEn angrily retorted: “Go away! Aren’t you the least bit curious about your brother Dong’s inner psyche?”


  The group didn’t hesitate to answer: “Not at all.”


  Zhou Daota directly undermined his words by replying: “We already know that you’re interested in that girl we met on the parking lot, ah. There wouldn’t be any sort of suspense if we asked that question.”


  Xu Yao cried out: “You were still talking about attending a university near C University not too long ago……”


  Gou XinDou clicked his tongue and shook his head. Brother Dong’s inner psyche is too easy to guess, ah.

  Zheng PingQing was currently in a happy mood, so he took charge and said: “Do a dare.”


  Dong MingEn felt wronged, but he had no other choice. He unwillingly took a card from the dare pile, not forgetting to complain: “My heart is very delicate, ah.”


  But nobody sympathized with him. “Hurry up and read the card, ah. Tell us your dare already.”


  When Dong MingEn read his card, his expression changed. Then, with frantic eyes, he copied Zheng PingQing’s blatant cheating by getting up and sitting down on Tang WanQi’s left side.

  Tang WanQi was surprised. “Don’t tell me you got the card, ‘kiss the person on your right’?”


  Tang WanQi hadn’t even finished talking when Lou XingGuang jumped up and ran over to them. He squeezed in between the two and solemnly said to her: “I’ll never let this cheap little Dong take advantage of our female classmates, ah.”


  Gou XinDou said aloud: “Brother Dong is exactly like a jellyfish, ah. His inner psyche is so transparent.”


  Dong MingEn: “.……” Was his mind really that easily read?

  Xu Yao’s eyes brightened when he saw the situation, and he even took the lead by shouting: “Kiss the person on your right, kiss the person on your right!”


  The other’s clapped along. “Kiss, kiss!”


  Luo XingGuang:……damn it, now he was the one on Dong MingEn’s right.

  But in such a dangerous situation for Tang WanQi, Luo XingGuang didn’t move his butt an iota. He figured that he would rather lose his innocence than let such a beautiful girl suffer a great loss.

  Luo XingGuang took a deep breath, then said: “Let’s do this.”


  With lightning speed, Luo XingGuang took preemptive measures and grabbed the back of Dong MingEn’s head.

  Dong MingEn was so scared that he began to struggle fiercely. “Pervert, let me go! I don’t want to kiss you!!!”


  Brother Dong’s frantic attempts were successful, and he managed to push Luo XingGuang away. He hurriedly shoved his card towards Luo XingGuang and yelled: “Look- it says princess carry! It’s just a princess carry, ah! Don’t try to take advantage of me!!!”


  Luo XingGuang: “.……”


  A classmate clicked his tongue. “Brother Xing, you’re too obvious!”


  Pan Qibo: “Just look how eager Brother Xing was……he was like a wolf……”


  Guo DangLi: “I guess Brother Xing had been waiting for an opportunity like this for a long time.”


  Some of them were sad. “Brother Xing, that wasn’t very manly of you!”


  Jiang TingJun thought for a while, then said: “This relationship is becoming a bit messy, ah. Brother Dong and Ah Yao have already been recognized as a couple. It’s a bit hard to accept Brother Xing’s love if it means breaking up the two lovebirds.”


  An eager Xu Yao very generously said: “No, no, no, no, no, I will cleanly break things off with Brother Dong tonight and formally give him to Brother Xing.”


  Jiang TingJun applauded him. “Ah Yao, you’re so impressive.”


  Xu Yao humbly nodded his head with the bearing of a great scholar.

  Lin Qian figured that Xu Yao had suffered a lot for him and Zheng PingQing in the past year, so he felt like he should help Xu Yao a bit. He smiled and said: “Alright, we’ll listen to Ah Yao. From now on, Brother Dong will belong to Brother Xing.”


  Dong MingEn was shocked. “Boss Qian, you can’t just force an arranged marriage on us!”


  Lou XingGuang also exclaimed: “I don’t want to! I want to continue my family line.”


  Zheng PingQing looked at him with contempt. “I can still continue my own ancestral line without being governed by such useless feudalistic perspectives, ah. Stop talking trash.”


  Luo XingGuang felt aggrieved, but he didn’t dare refute his words. In the end, he reluctantly stood up and leaned over to Dong MingEn. “Come on.”


  Tang WanQi added: “You have to carry him for one whole lap.”


  Lou XingGuang: “.……”


  The worst thing in this situation wasn’t that he was paired up with Dong MingEn, but the fact that Tang WanQi turned against him even though he was so obviously dedicated to her. Despite his good deed, Tang WanQi betrayed him and added fuel to the fire.

  This female classmate of his wasn’t worth it, ah!……

  Xu Shuang and her classmate followed the light of the bonfire to the front of a villa rented by the No. 12 group. As they neared, they began to hear their noisy chatter.

  “They seem to be having a good time.” the classmate commented.

  Xu Shuang smiled, then looked towards the fire. However, her expression soon turned stiff.

  Against the fire, Xu Shuang saw Dong MingEn princess carry another male classmate. The male classmate wasn’t a small man, so it took a lot of effort to lift him up. Dong MingEn was obviously straining to walk, with blue veins bulging out from his forehead as he stepped forward. It was a terrible and ugly sight to behold.

  The other students around the fire took the opportunity to make fun of them:

  “Oh, what a well-fitting couple!”


  “Brother Xing, you’ve coveted Brother Dong for so long, ah. How does it feel to have your dream finally come true?”


  Xu Shuang’s classmate laughed. “What a fun dare!”


  Xu Shuang was speechless. Although she understood that it was probably just a silly dare and that it was common for classmates to tease each other, Xu Shuang couldn’t get the picture of Dong MingEn writing his CP on the sand out of her mind.

  At the end of the day, it was hard to avoid the assumption that all fudanshis were gay.

  While Xu Shuang’s heart was feeling tangled, she hears Dong MingEn loudly scold the student he was carrying. “Hey, Lou XingGuang, can you lose some weight, ah!”


  Lou XingGuang huffed and replied: “This great master has the perfect figure, ah. I’m neither too fat nor am I too thin. Why do I need to lose weight?”


  Dong MingEn seized this opportunity to break their engagement. “You’re such a shameless man, ah! Don’t blame me for not wanting you!”


  Xu Shuang: “.……” This was the kind of dare she just couldn’t stomach.

  Xu Shuang pulled her friend back and said: “Let’s go back.”


  Her classmate found her reaction a little strange, but since she was just tagging along with Xu Shuang, she didn’t say anything and followed her back.

  At this point, Dong MingEn turned a corner and ended up facing Xu Shuang. The sudden eye contact caught the two people off guard.

  Dong MingEn: “.……”


  Xu Shuang: “.……”


  Dong MingEn looked down at Lou XingGuang, who was in his arms. Then, he thought about the conversation he just had with Lou XingGuang.

  A heartbroken Dong MingEn cried out: “Classmate Xu Shuang, you listen to my explanation-”


  Fearing that she would be noticed by the entire No. 12 group, Xu Shuang didn’t wait for Dong MingEn to finish and hurriedly led her friend away.

  Dong MingEn froze on the spot, stunned. He was so shocked that his hands turned soft.

  With a ‘bang’ Lou XingGuang fell down on the ground on his butt, his appendages flailing wildly like a goose.

  His fall was quite dramatic.

  “Dong MingEn, I’ll kill you!” Lou XingGuang rubbed his sore butt, then started to chase Dong MingEn around the beach.

  The author has something to say:

  Dong MingEn: ……Ever since I got involved with those gays, my love life has become so turbulent.
