Chapter 34

Translate: Sae | Proofread: Anasofi

His previous school also had a forum but it wasn't frequent much; after all, it was a key high school where the teachers fell short of actually holding metal detectors to scan each individual student for mobile phones the second they entered through the gate every day. Consequently, phones were at constant risk of being confiscated, which was the direct effect of why no one generally toyed with these things, and at most, there were only small-scale gossip groups on WeChat.

Such a forum, meshed with all sorts of erratic discussions and spectacles was not something that Jiang Cheng had been exposed to in the past. 

In barely a day, the fujoshi thread that was posted on the day of their match had tons of likes and comments that were extremely astonishing.

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a long while but didn't click open the post for a look in the end.

Although this kind of groundless teasing was common amongst young girls, he wouldn't have felt anything even if he and Wang Jiuri were matched, however, he felt uneasy upon seeing that it was he and Gu Fei that was put together. 

In the end, he clicked open the post that discussed 'Da Fei, my idol'. 

There were many photos of Gu Fei during the game that were taken from various angles. The girl must have circled the court for however many times just to get some of these photos. There were even some of Gu Fei doing layups that were taken from below - who knew how she managed to get such a shot.

The first few comments were all photos and the original poster's frantic 'ah, ah, ahhhh' with a long series of exclamation marks then below were some replies that echoed the aforementioned sound of wailing.

Once he reached the 30th comment, there was finally a voice of disagreement.

- that's it? You can find anyone like that on the street.

That one comment, like a single tossed stone that created a thousand ripples, aroused many replies that lasted a good seven to eight pages long, all of which consisted of curses.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the ID of the commenter only to no longer be able to hold it back, "What the... fuck!"

"You must really be bored," he said and looked at Gu Fei. 

"Unless they're bored, who would get on..." Gu Fei took the phone back and giggled as he read it. "See, a xueba like you generally can't be bothered to take a look."

"I've... also looked," Jiang Cheng said.  "It's just that the forum at my old high school was like a ghost town, no one looked at it."

"What's your ID?" Gu Fei tilted his head. 

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment: "a_certain_cheng"

"What?" Gu Fei couldn't comprehend that. 

"My main account is 'a_certain_cheng' and the side account is 'soandso_cheng'," Jiang Cheng said.

"What the hell kind of name is that? And you have the nerve to laugh at me," Gu Fei said. "Since your WeChat was in English, I had to add a nickname. Why don't you just combine your style and make them all something like 'jiangxx"?"

"The thing is, I'm too lazy to think of a name," Jiang Cheng said. "What nickname did you use for me?"

"Cheng-ge." Gu Fei glanced at him.

"I think that Gentle Little Bunny should be the one who needs a nickname," Jiang Cheng laughed. 

After that, the two of them no longer spoke. Jiang Cheng held his own phone and continued to blather with Pan Zhi; at first, he wanted to look at (High School No. Four) Sizhong's forum again but with Gu Fei beside him, he decided against it.
