Chapter 104

104 You have to take responsibility

To do this had come to school very early and he was now impatiently waiting for Yi Chen to enter class. Shorty who had had enough of Zi Han’s shaking leg was forced to inquire.

“Big brother Han if you keep shaking your leg like that I will get a headache,” said Shorty while turning to look at him.

Shannon leaned her body forward to take a look and said, “Tsk, Han Han isn’t wearing a skirt anymore. Ah, I was beginning to take you as one of the girls. How unfortunate,” before sitting back down.

“You are just mad because you can’t look at his legs anymore,” said Shaun who was for once sitting upright doing his school work.

“No I a-,” she said but Zi Han interjected,

“Shh shh shh he is here. Everyone, act natural,” he said before pretending to seriously study his language notes.

All three of them, “.....”

They had no idea which ‘he’ was referring to nor did they know why they had to act natural. Apparently, Zi Han hadn’t updated them on the gossip. Well, that is the gossip that he pinched Yi Chen’s nipple during training while Yi Chen had been nothing but nice to him.

Zi Han watched Yi Chen in his peripheral view but he still couldn’t judge his reaction clearly. Yi Chen’s mood lifted when he saw the jacket lying on the desk. On top of the jacket was a bottle of drinkable yogurt and a can of healing spray with a sticky note written:

.....

Sorry, I pinched your nipple. I was wrong and I won’t wear a skirt anymore if that makes you feel better.

Z.H

Yi Chen wanted to laugh when he saw this. He turned to look in Zi Han’s direction but the other boy didn’t look at him. He looked like was seriously studying something so Yi Chen didn’t disturb him.

“What is that?” asked Li Ran after sneaking up on Yi Chen which rarely happened by the way.

Yi Chen tore the sticky note off the spray bottle and put away his smile while replying, “It’s nothing. Just mind your own business.”

Li Ran who had been stabbed straight in the heart leaned on Yi Chen and acted out a dramatic play like he was dying. Two words that best describe Li Ran..... drama king. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to finish his act because the first lecturer came in.

Yi Chen put on his uniform jacket and smelt a faint fragrance coming from it. Mixed in with the smell of clean linen was a sweet comforting aroma with a slight tang to it.

He had smelt this fragrance on Zi Han a couple of times but now it was enveloping his entire body like he was wrapped in its warmth. Yi Chen liked it very much.

Throughout class, Yi Chen was listening attentively but he would occasionally lose himself in the scent. He suddenly wanted the scent to last longer.

By the end, of the fourth class, it was noon already. The students began to pack up and leave for lunch but Zi Han remained in his seat. Shorty and the others asked him if he was coming along but he told them to go ahead.

He was closely watching Yi Chen and from the looks of it he was going out to lunch. He immediately took out his light brain and wrote him a message.

HandsomeHan: Have you applied the medicine yet?

Yi Chen’s light brain made a soft dinging sound and his steps paused reading the message. A second later Yi Chen glanced in his direction with an unreadable expression before turning to face Li Ran.

“You go ahead. I will join you later,” he said and Li Ran who saw Hela walking ahead of him had no objections. He ran off like the wind and left only a cloud of dust.

Yi Chen leisurely waited for Zi Han to come over to him. A slight smile appeared on his face when he saw that today he wasn’t wearing that skirt anymore. Last night’s dream was too exciting and he wouldn’t be able to withstand further stimulation.

Zi Han stopped in front of him and right from the get-go he picked a fight. What can he say? He just couldn’t help himself. “Why are you standing here? I just asked if you applied medicine on your... tsk, did you do it or not?” Zi Han suddenly felt too embarrassed to say it. He was beginning to question where he got such courage to pinch Yi Chen’s nipple in the first place. This was too embarrassing.

“I was waiting for you to put it for me,” said Yi Chen having dug up the courage to say that out of nowhere.

“You!..... you have two hands so why wait for me. Class president Chen, you really enjoy messing with me don’t you?” he said feeling rather defeated. He had no idea why this person was being so nice to him. Well, today he was hell-bent on finding out.

“Here,” said Yi Chen passing him the healing spray, “you have to take responsibility.”

Zi Han almost choked hearing this. Yes, he did feel guilty but did it mean he should be treating Yi Chen’s nipple. AAAAHHHH!..... He regretted it so much.

“Here?... Do you want me to help you right here?” he asked before opening the lid, “Okay, lift your shirt up.... Hurry up, I am hungry.” Zi Han was actually serious. He walked closer and tried to lift his shirt on the spot.

Yi Chen held his arm and suddenly noticed that pink scrunchie Zi Han got from Shannon wrapped around his wrist. He very much disliked the fact that Zi Han wore a gift from a girl but yesterday he was an emotional mess that he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Seeing it again and he suddenly felt like it was an eye sore. He wanted to make him take it off but if he played his cards wrong he might be back in the dog house.

“Not here. Come with me,” he said before leading him by the hand. Surprisingly Zi Han didn’t push away his hand which wasn’t necessarily a good thing. That’s because Zi Han wasn’t as impervious to human touch as long as he knew the person. Yi Chen suddenly felt a little unhappy. It seemed like his daily consumption of vinegar was to exceed the daily recommended value henceforth.
