“You’re welcome.” Fu Ke ignored Derek who was desperately sending him signals with his eyes. “You should be careful in the future. Don’t force yourself too much.”

“En, I know. See you at school, Student Fu Ke.”

“See you at school, Student Ning An.”

As always, the holidays passed by in a flash. Ning An felt that he had gone through a roller coaster of a vacation. Elina and Ning Xin Bo returned home before Ning An and Ning Meng had to go back to school.

“Baby, I’m coming in.” Elina pushed open the door of Ning An’s room and found that he had already packed up his luggage. “Ayah? I though that my baby would sit in bed and make a fuss again.”

“Mum—” Ning An dragged out, telling Elina to not talk about it.

“Come here, baby.” Elina sat on the bed and beckoned Ning An over. She then picked up a brush and gently combed his hair. “Baby, you must have been very happy at school.”

“Humph, those Alphas are so arrogant and annoying. The sectional diagrams are so hard to draw. The morning jog every day makes me tired to death……” Ning An kept complaining, but he didn’t realise that there was a subtle smile on his face. “Well, I didn’t die. I suppose there were also some happy moments.”

Fussy boy. Elina finished combing Ning An’s hair and then planted on kiss on his forehead. “You need to be even more happy in the new semester.”

“Urgh, I’ll try my best.”

Derek and Fu Ke both returned to school very early. After Fu Ke finished sorting out his things, he just sat at his table lost in thought. This wasn’t normal. Derek approached him and carefully tapped his shoulder. “Fu, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Look at you. How can this be nothing? “Hey, Fu. What do you intend to do? How are you going to deal with the situation between you and Student Ning An?”

Hearing this, Fu Ku frowned and slowly shook his head. “I don’t know.”

He had asked himself this question before, but he also couldn’t find a solution. It should be that he wants to be friends with Ning An, right?

Before Derek could reply, there was a knock on the bedroom door. Opening it, he saw He Xin carrying a bag of things with a pitiful look on his face. “Can I come in?”

After Derek closed the door, He Xin finally let out a sigh of relief. Derek made him sit on his bed and said: “What’s wrong? Your face is so pale.”

“Your dormitory building is really terrifying. It’s so oppressive. My legs almost turned into jelly on my way here.” He Xin didn’t forget his purpose for coming here. He lifted up the bag in his hand and said. “Here, these are the specialties I brought from home.”

“Ah, it must have been hard for you to carry it over.” The bag that He Xin was carrying looked quite heavy. Derek poured him a cup of water to let him rest a bit. “I’ll send you down later?”

“There’s no need.” He Xin cast Fu Ke a worried glance before leaning towards Derek and whispering into his ear. “Ning An is still waiting for me downstairs. We agreed to go to the library.”

Is he trying to avoid Fu Ke? Derek’s ear itched due to He Xin’s sudden ‘intimate’ behaviour. “Okay. Thank you for coming this time to deliver this. Be careful on your way back. Next time, it’s fine if you just call me and I’ll come pick you up.”

“Okay. Jiayou for the new semester! Student Fu Ke also.” He Xin dashed out of the building after saying this.

Derek’s eyes followed He Xin all the way until he disappeared into the elevator before coming back and closing the door. Rummaging through the bag, he found Fu Ke’s portion and put it onto his table before opening a random packet of dried fruit.

“I think that you should properly apologise to Ning An. Regardless of what kind of relationship you want to have with him, you should first makes things clear with each other.”

Fu Ke was the the worst at maintaining relationships. Even if Derek said it like this, and even if he himself also understood, he just didn’t know how he should do it.

“Forget it, it’s fine so long as you understand. Just don’t keep dragging this on, otherwise you’ll just end up growing further apart.” Looking at Fu Ke, Derek couldn’t tell whether he had taken this to heart or not. He opened his terminal to tell He Xin that the dried fruit was very tasty, while conveniently asking him to meet at the training ground at night.

After realising his own feelings, of course he must immediately take action. He can’t let anyone have the chance to pick him up.
