Young Husband & Wife (2)

“But it will take several lines in order to properly confess to Qin Yuan.” Her roommate lamented.

“I don’t expect anything from confessing!” Niu Xiaoqing crossed her arms. “At least when he sees it, he will know of this name. It’s good even if he only remembers it for a few days.”

“I think Boss Qin will only remember one name…” Someone laughed cheekily. “He’s our class sports representative.”

“Oh right. I can’t imagine him ever with a girl. He’s always with our sports representative on a daily basis. But speaking of which, the several school grasses in our sophomore year don’t date anyone. They’re really a paragon of virtue and learning who remain chaste.” A girl lamented.

“I let my cousin-sister look at our school grass voting post, saying Boss Qin, our sports representative, and Class 1 Fu Songhua don’t date anyone. She was stunned.” A girl chimed in. “She said our school’s girls are weak and even said people with these qualities would have been pursued earlier in her school. Would they still be left alone until the sophomore year like this?”

… At the moment, the two “not dating” bosses, who were neither in the advanced class nor their dorm rooms, looked at each other in the activity room on the third floor of the sports and cultural building.

“We haven’t been coming here as frequently anymore.” Ruan Qingmu bitterly gripped his hair. “Why don’t the students just graduate – why do they still have to leave a confession letter. I will shake the tree with all their love letters down later!”

How annoying! Since eight o’clock, more people had come below. Their curtains were tightly drawn, but many people found the light in the window and made a fuss out of nothing.

Why bother saying “ghosts on the third floor” when you could just hang your confession letter without making a fuss?

This caused him to do only two and a half sets of papers in one night, and he hadn’t studied the new English course yet.

Qin Yuan sat next to him and faintly glanced at him. “It’ll be fine if you calm yourself down.”

Ruan Qingmu glared daggers at him. “Who’s not calm?”

Qin Yuan’s eyes were glued to his textbook as he thoughtlessly handed over a freshly opened can of juice. “You. Do you want to hang one too?”

Ruan Qingmu was stunned. “Fellow boyfriend, do you have any logic in what you say? Who wants to hang this kind of retarded thing?!”

Qin Yuan glanced at him, with a strange look in his eyes.

Standing up, he walked over to the window and lifted the curtain to look down. “Everyone is gone.”

The acacia tree was already decades old, with a canopy that covered the sky, and it was now the season when the pink acacia flowers were in full bloom. The leaves of the acacia tree were originally on the soft green side, and the flowers were pure pink, fluffy bunches that bloomed in the vast canopy, of which a thousand were always present.

The sweet and fresh fragrance of the flowers, coupled with the swaying branches of the tree, was a grand and splendid display in the night breeze.

Ruan Qingmu didn’t look up as he lowered his head and continued to gnaw on his physics problem, casually saying, “After all, not many people are that stupid.”

After working on the questions for a while, he realized that Qin Yuan hadn’t come back, so he looked up and asked in surprise, “Still not returning to look at your programming book? Don’t you have to attend a national competition training during summer break?”

Qin Yuan had won the first prize in the provincial competition for both math and physics this semester and would go on to train for the computer programming national competition in the summer, so his daily homework had been pardoned by the teacher. All that he did now was competition questions.

Qin Yuan turned his head and waved at him. “Come here.”

Ruan Qingmu walked over in confusion. “What is it?”

Qin Yuan’s voice was indifferent. “Your stupid boyfriend did a retarded thing and just hung it up.”

Ruan Qingmu: “…”

Damn. Who would have thought of this? He was clearly not like this usually. How could he now be like a little girl doing all this mushy stuff?

He reluctantly looked out. “Ahahaha, let me see. My boyfriend must’ve made it with special thoughts and exquisite craftsmanship.”

Looking out, he was stunned.

The view was blocked by pink and emerald green, and the branch directly opposite the window was covered in beautiful name plates with silver-tassel pendants underneath and tied with heart knots.

They were not plastic items but were made of crystal glasses—those tiny things dangled from the branches and swayed tremulously.

The curtains were drawn and the light from the activity room spilt onto the nearby canopy, reflecting the shimmering light of the plate along with the silver moonlight outside.

He froze, reached out, and carefully plucked one off, looking at the writing inside the crystal glass before taking a deep breath.

“I’m very touched by your romanticism and intention, but please explain what the hell you mean by ‘young husband and wife for a lifetime’?

Qin Yuan’s eyes, incomparably bright under the moonlight, reflected the starlight and moonlight. “Don’t you understand what a lifetime is?”

“I’m asking about the part about the young husband and wife!”

Qin Yuan looked at his mad face and finally couldn’t maintain his indifferent expression as he smiled.

He reached out his arm and gently wrapped it around Ruan Qingmu’s waist, whispering in his ear, “I’ve searched for so long in our school forum thread but couldn’t find a CP name I liked. Something like ‘Qing Mu*’ or ‘Qing Ruan’ isn’t pleasant to hear.”

*T/N: This Qing Mu () doesn’t use this same character as Ruan Qingmu’s name (), meaning adoration.
