Everyone think that I like him

Chapter 16

As soon as the two figures appeared in the doorway, all the students' attention was drawn.

Zhou Wendao unctuously came over and said, "Zhou, I'll help you in."

Ye Zhou glared at him before putting his hand on the shoulder. Then he looked at Shang Jin beside him and awkwardly said, "Thank you."

Shang Jin nodded at him and went to his usual seat.

"I say, you're really throwing me down like this??" Safely arrived from the dorms, Ye Zhou began to settle the accounts, "Is the agreement between classmates limited to  roommates only?"

"This isn't what you're saying. As long as we're not there, Shang Jin will take care of you." Zhou Wendao was the first to refute, "Do you think we want to be the treacherous villains? Isn't it because we're creating opportunities for you!"

Ye Zhou pulled his mouth. He was bewildered why this group of people had been fishy since yesterday. They also switched the dorms, abandoned him and left first. It took half a day to find out that it was because of that Saturday morning.

On that day, Zhou Wendao witnessed the affair between Ye Zhou and Shang Jinーpei pei!! It was a misunderstanding! Ye Zhou had explained that this was just the feeling between normal classmates. Only because all his roommates were out, Shang Jin had no choice but to come in and take care of him. Then this group of guys mistakenly believed that if they weren't there, Shang Jin would certainly take care of him.

Although it turned out to be the case, but did you guys ever consider Shang Jin's feelings?

Ye Zhou looked in Shang Jin's direction and couldn't help but give rise to a kind of...guilt.

That's right, guilt.

Obviously before this semester, the two people generally didn't intersect each other, like parallel lines. But now, because of his own mistakes, Shang Jin was dragged down from his godly altar in life and made Shang Jin's body gradually become infected with the earthly aura.

Even making the other ride on a shabby pedicab to shuttle around campus.

This was where Ye Zhou felt the most apologetic. When he thought of this, he hated his former roommates for a few moments, and his tone wasn't too good. "You can borrow a car, but can't borrow a bike??"

Zhou Wendao gave a big sigh and said, "You think we didn't want to? We went around to borrow one and unexpectedly, none had a backseat."

Ye Zhou hated iron for not becoming steel1 and said, "With bicycles without backseats, you guys still want to date girls? What a beautiful picture it is to carry a girlfriend to class! Buying ones without backseats, are you guys planning to ride ahead and let your girlfriend chase behind you?"

This poked at the heart of Zhou Wendao's sorrow. He covered his chest and said, "It turns out that this was the problem. When I get my living expenses next month, I'll go exchange for a bike with a backseat!"

Ye Zhou cast him a glance and thought: Your problem isn't here, but your short height. Recalling that his height was Zhou Wendao's inverse scale2, Ye Zhou thoughtfully didn't continue.

But there was one thing that must be emphasized.

"When you change classes in a moment, give your bike to Shang Jin. You ride the three-wheeler."

Zhou Wendao was greatly alarmed. "Why!!"

Ye Zhou touched his nose and uneasily whispered, "In any case, Shang Jin has a little reputation at school. If people see him riding this kind of three-wheeler, he'd lose face. But you're not the same. Your image and the three-wheeler doesn't conflict too much."

"I don't match with a three-wheeler!!"

Trying his best to persuade him, Zhou Wendao finally agreed to exchange the rides.

After class, waiting for most people to leave, Ye Zhou walked out of the school building with Xu Yangjun's help.

In the vehicle shed, the familiar classmates rode away one after another.

And on the side of the pedicab, Shang Jin sat in the driver's seat against the light. Seeing Ye Zhou come over, he said, "You're so slow."

Zhou Wendao and Xu Yangjun took a look and immediately betrayed Ye Zhou, abandoning him and riding away at the speed of light.

"Hey! You guysー" Looking at the backs of his former roommates getting farther and farther away, Ye Zhou pursed his lips and softly said, "Shang Jin, sorry to bother you so much..."

This was the first time Ye Zhou used a soft and weak tone. Shang Jin rubbed his arms. "Can you not talk to me like this? It feels so disgusting."

Ye Zhou glowered at him and shouted, "Hey, are these human words!!"

"That's more like it." Shang Jin turned around, the corners of his mouth slightly curving up.

Notes

1. hated iron for not becoming steel (恨铁不成钢): being resentful of people for failing to meet one's expectations
2. Inverse scale (逆鳞): said to be the scale on a dragon's neck where the major blood vessels travel through. It's the dragon's weak point and therefore, it's very sensitive to anyone trying to touch the scale.
