Hidden Love (novel translation)

Chapter 72

"Indeed, I'm not young anymore." Duan Jia Xu doesn't really mind her words, he is calm and composed "Then you should feel sorry for me?"

Sang Zhi lifts up her head and acts serious. She answers gently "I'll consider it."

He was joking at first, so he didn't really think too much about it. He gently pinches Sang Zhi's face, looks at the time and asks, "Where do you want to go now? Do you want to go and watch a film?"

After few minutes to consider, Sang Zhi shakes her head. Duan Jia Xu says patiently "Then let me send you back to the dorm?"

Sang Zhi stands there and doesn't move. She suddenly makes a request "I want you to carry me on your back."

"You can't walk." Duan Jia Xu says and kneels down. "Get on."

Sang Zhi just lies on her stomach on his back, hugging his neck. The next moment, Duan Jia Xu just stands up and asks her "You really just drank a little?"

"Not even half of the glass." Sang Zhi places her chin close to his neck, she says to him "It's like drinking a Coca-cola."

"Then next time just drink Coca- cola."

They walk for a while. Because of the angle, she could only see Duan Jia Xu's half face. "Am I heavy?"

"No."

Sang Zhi is dissatisfied. "Why don't you talk more about it? Say words like 'how could you be so light'."

Duan Jia Xu pauses and laughs "It's my fault, I was not very considerate". Very quickly he says what she said, "How could you be so light?"

"Today I think I am much heavier." Sang Zhi says "My down jacket is heavy. If I take him off, supposedly you would feel like carrying an air."

Duan Jia Xu controls his laughter "Now you are light too."

He keeps on walking. Sang Zhi calls after him "Duan Jia Xu."

"Em?"

"Today I submitted my project." Sang Zhi mumbles about what happened today "Recently I kept on redoing it for the competition. Every day I would change my design, I am so sick of it."

"Oh it's done?"

"Em." Sang Zhi says, "But the result wouldn't be out soon, we need to wait till the end of the semester."

"Then you should have a rest."

"I want to win the prize. I heard from them that this competition is much more prestigious. There would be a lot of influential people there during the ceremony. Maybe they would look at me." Sang Zhi mumbles, "Then after graduation, my days would be bright. I would get a salary of a few thousand yuan."

"You don't plan to take a Master degree?"

"No." Sang Zhi says depressingly, "But I don't think I could win the award. There are too many great people. I feel I draw like shit".

Hearing this, Duan JIa Xu looks at her "Little kids should say more civilized words."

Sang Zhi looks at him. She blinks and leans forward, kissing his cheek. When she sees him start, she smiles and kisses him again.

"You could even do sexual entrapment, huh?" Duan Jia Xu raises his eyebrow, he laughs and asks, "If I carry you like this, would it affect how you express your feelings?"

"Just a little." Sang Zhi realised that he had carried her for a moment. "Are you tired? If not, it's better if I get off and walk alone."

"How long has it been?" Duan Jia Xu teases her, "I'm not that old either, I wouldn't be tired and lacking in energy after carrying you a few steps."
