Peijin entered the bathroom, only unbuttoning her shirt after closing the bathroom door. She took out the pad and her cropped-vested bra she had already hidden well earlier. Thankfully she had smartly packed them up safely ahead of time, so she was able to bravely look through these clothes in front of He Xun earlier.

Once Peijin was out of the shower and at her closet putting away her clothes, He Xun suddenly kabe-don’ed (1) her from behind.

(1)Yes, it’s the mythical ‘kabedon’ from anime, ironically the word was ‘壁咚’ which translates to wall and dong (noise), literally wall-dong.

His arm was propped next to the side of her right ear, thoroughly enveloping the petite her inside his arms.

Peijin froze on the spot. He Xun’s presence was too much, her breaths were filled with his scent.

She clutched the freshly cleaned loose long sleeve in her hand, not looking back, only dryly questioning, “Brother Xun, what are you doing?”

He Xun chuckled behind her, his jaw seemed to softly lean on top of her left shoulder, but also didn’t seem to. “Nothing, I just wanted to let you know, we’re going ice skating tomorrow after school.”

Peijin pursed her lips, “But… I don’t know how to.”

“It’s alright. Brother will take you soaring into the skies (1), you only need to bring yourself.”

(1) The actual phrase is “带你装逼带你飞”, the words 装逼 mean to show off in a pretentious manner (humourous), but the whole phrase itself is similar to the terminology of carried’ in games; where one team member will ‘carry’ the rookies and newbies. Essentially, He Xun would be saying in English, “Bro will carry you to the top, don’t worry.”, but alternatively, I would say it’s like “Bro will you show you the stars” as well. (Fact: It’s popularly used in League of Legends).

Finished talking, He Xun appropriately released his arm from the closet. As soon as He Xun left, fresh air seemed to start rushing back again. Peijin took a deep breath of air, and then, pretending as if nothing had happened, returned to arranging her clothes.

He Xun, that jerk, he was teasing her on purpose again.

The next day Peijin unexpectedly received a Wechat from Meng Meng.

Peijin had assumed that Meng Meng wanted to chat with her about some confidential matters, but against her expectations, this time it entirely wasn’t.

[ Meng Meng: Small brother, Xu Yi found a boyfriend! ]

[ Little Five: Isn’t that great? ] After getting a boyfriend, He Xun shouldn’t be on Xu Yi’s mind anymore.

[ Meng Meng: Her boyfriend is a deadbeat (1), big, big tattoos cover his body, and he has a lot of muscles, he doesn’t look like one to be messed with. Xu Yi found this kind of boyfriend on purpose, it seems that she did it to get payback on He Xun. ]

(1) 混社会 describes a person who has no goals or motives in life, who doesn’t work, ambitionless and prefers to loiter and get involved with the activities on the other side of the law for fun, aka, a gangster.

Peijin’s eyebrows slightly pressed together.

[ Little Five: Get revenge on Brother Xun? Why? ]

[ Meng Meng: Didn’t He Xun reject Xu Yi’s confession before? Xu Yi’s been the campus belle since she was small, she has a very strong sense of superiority. It’s always been her that’s rejected other people, she doesn’t have any experience being rejected. She’s probably going crazy from princess syndrome (1) right now and feels like He Xun looked down on her, so she wants to save her image. ]
