Chapter 112: Work Harder for Her
Translator: TransNEditor: TransN
Lou Cheng found everything so beautiful, every student coming in and out so lovely, even noises so pleasant to listen and damp air so sweet to smell. The bright moon close to the full indicated perfection and satisfactory.
Yan Zheke responded to his loving promise immediately with a silly but cute emoji. ”What are you talking about? I don't get it. My account was hijacked... Yeah, it was hijacked!”
Phew... Lou Cheng almost burst into laughter. He could see Yan Zheke shy and haughty, trying to be serious. ”Bad person hijacked my Coach Yan's account... I'll write down all these words in my notebook and read one hundred times every day to recollect this memory and denounce the bad person!”
After this confession, he felt less constrained and more comfortable talking to his loved girl.
”...” Speechless, Yan Zheke sent an apostrophe. ”Forget about it. Delete it! Are you already planning on recollecting memories shortly after your love confession?”
”Okay, okay. I'll forget about it right now!” Lou Cheng laughed before continuing, ”But I will never forget what I just promised.”
Yan Zheke used the sitting at a loss emoji. ”... Did you have many relationships before? Why are you so good at this? I'm a square...”
”These days cute girls love to say square whenever they are flustered...” Lou Cheng hurried to explain himself. ”No, you are my first love! I'm not good at it, just sharing with you the sincere thoughts of mine. Be honest and frank with no decoration.”
”First love...” Yan Zheke chuckled. ”What a pity I didn't go to your classroom often as I was afraid of being watched in high school. I missed the Lou Cheng arriving at puberty, sillier and cuter.
Lou Cheng's joy was spilling out. ”That's true. I was sillier back then and had very little confidence. I drew back from everything other than study and games. I'm glad you didn't notice me, or it would become part of my dark history...”
He talked about his past frankly, revealing the most real side of himself to Yan Zheke.
”I was the same at that time, very self-abased as everyone else was fine but only I was congenitally deficient. I was very interested in martial arts but could only watch it enviously...” Yan Zheke didn't seem to mind Lou Cheng's uselessness in high school but found some sympathetic response.
Lou Cheng changed the topic as he didn't want Yan Zheke to soak in the past sadness. ”I was so happy earlier... I wanted to shout but was afraid of scaring others... So I dragged Little Ming and ran all the way back at the speed of hundred-meter dash. He's still catching his breath... I still want to cry out my joy...
”Phew... Poor Little Ming.” Yan Zheke chuckled. ”Don't show off in front the single. They will kick your ass!”
”Little Ming is not poor. One day I'll give him a fat red envelope for teaching me, guiding me and answering my questions.” Lou Cheng put on a smirk. ”To be honest, I was so tempted to go to your building just to have a look at you... Err... When I saw the messages sent from your hijacked account, I realized it might scare you so I held it back. We have a long journey to go. No rush...”
Again he was impressed by his talents in sweet talks. ”Is it men's instinct or my gift?”
Yan Zheke replied a shy smile. ”This is the good Cheng!”
Lou Cheng was very glad for the compliment. He asked out of curiosity, ”Did you notice my fondness of you long, long time ago?”
”Err... A little bit...” Yan Zheke used the emoji with rolling eyes. ”I was all like what is wrong with this friend... Why does he talk to me every day? Why every day? Yes, we have a lot to talk about. However, dare he confess his love for me, I'll say no crudely!”
”Thank god I am making progress in a stepwise manner!” said Lou Cheng after the emoji of wiping cold sweat off.
Thank you, Little Ming for your persuasion and contrivance!
My good teacher and helpful friend never fails me!
”I was too silly, fooled by your innocent looks. Hmm!” Yan Zheke sent an emoji in tears.
”I'll fool you for the rest of my life...” Lou Cheng was too shy to say it. Abruptly his shoulder was tapped. Cai Zongming had recovered from the long run, pointing at the time on his mobile and then looking at their dorm.
”Holy cow! Already past ten! Time flies when you are having fun!” Lou Cheng felt melancholy.
The evening class ended at 9:35. He wasted some time in the classroom and chatted with Yan Zheke for a good while. It was actually pretty normal to be past 10 o'clock.
But 10:30 is my bed time... I hate to do it! How disappointing!
He thought about it and revealed her true feeling to Yan Zheke. ”It's already 10 something... I better go to bed now so I can get up early tomorrow for my training. I wanted to stay up until midnight, but Little Ming's advice just came to my mind. I shouldn't hold back my feeling for her as I'm not good enough. Instead, I should improve myself to become a suitable match for her.
”I want to become a man that deserves your love so I can't spare myself from my training.”
They were not his exact words but pretty much the same.
Yan Zheke replied a shy smile. ”I would urge you to sleep if you didn't volunteer. Go and wash up. Say goodnight to me after.”
”Yes!” Lou Cheng agreed gladly.
Yan Zheke sent another message.
”Hmm... Err... That... I like the silly Cheng. And the Cheng focusing on martial arts training...”
