Seizing Dreams [B1]

Ch 78.1 - Summer Vacation

After Valentine's, summer vacation was almost half over. After Yu Hao handed in the first round of translations, the second round was sent to his mailbox immediately. It seemed that the organization couldn't find suitable outsourcing, so when they saw that Yu Hao handed in translations quickly, they immediately threw another pile at him. Yu Hao thought, is it that hard for you guys to find a few translators? But okay, okay......since I'm getting money I'll just accept it ba.

Yu Hao looked through the translation forum for a long time and realized that his own work really was like moving bricks, low-paying but essential. Except for the first time he got paid when Chen Yekai served as an intermediary, the organization bypassed Chen Yekai and the second time and directly contacted Yu Hao for a remuneration 20% lower than the market price. A lot of foreign language students would not accept such work.

However, Yu Hao was already extremely satisfied with this. At least it was better than actually moving bricks.

"How much was that bottle of wine?" Yu Hao asked Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng, "2,000. Added a bit more, so you won't owe him anything."

Yu Hao said, "How much was the meal?"

Zhou Sheng, "Laozi's the Young Master of Yun Lai Chun, why would I need to pay for a meal in my own family's shop?"

Yu Hao said, "We ate that meal!!"

Zhou Sheng, "I signed the bill, it was counted alongside our dinner. Yu Hao, could you stop being annoying?"

Yu Hao, "Okay then, I'll transfer you the money for the wine......"

Zhou Sheng was baffled, "Isn't my money always with you?"

Yu Hao thought that was true, so he could only add the red packets he received into Zhou Sheng's living expenses. But he had only received 1,580 from the red packets, so Yu Hao decided that he might as well go whole hog and scrolled through his WeChat to tap on the two red packets that Gothic Armor had sent him within the past 24 hours, and only then did he consider the whole situation more balanced.

Yu Hao, "I've been blacklisted......"

Zhou Sheng mocked, "He's just scum; he's been tricking you with the usual routine, and you didn't even know."

Yu Hao didn't know at all how to appraise if someone was scum or not. When he kept asking Zhou Sheng how he managed to tell, Zhou Sheng ignored him and fell asleep.

No more blind dates......just let my life be like this ba.

Yu Hao gave up completely. His life recently was like a chaotic farce that had gone out of control. He didn't want to drive around repeatedly while thinking about Zhou Sheng, thinking about transferring his feelings, thinking about General, thinking about love, and thinking about life anymore. He couldn't understand anything and ended up tiring himself out too. Love was indeed like a lottery for him - not only was it impossible for him to win, but he also didn't know where he had thrown his lottery ticket.

I'll just continue crushing on him one-sidedly ba, Yu Hao thought. If worst comes to worst, he would just take note of the distance between them so that Zhou Sheng wouldn't be called a homo. After he decided this, Yu Hao relaxed a little.

In midsummer, there were gradually fewer and fewer students at college, and even those students who didn't go home and stayed in college had left. It was very quiet every night; it was so quiet that this place seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. The last window of the canteen closed as well, public buses stopped running, and even Chen Yekai went home. Every day, Zhou Sheng either cooked, or the two of them would walk about 2 kilometers to eat at the stir-fry shop at the foot of the mountain.
