Transmigrated into the School Idol’s Love Rival and Lover

Chapter 12 - Turned the Male Lead Green (12)

Chu Nan continuously begged for forgiveness on the phone. Ruan Yan listened with a cold face and did not speak. However, maintaining a relative altitude to his coldness was–

Dew like tear drops stubbornly clinging to his thin, long lashes, unwilling to fall.

He was just pushed violently against the wall by Chu Nan, now both his shoulders and ankles hurt.

Chu Nan could only hear quiet sobbing, paining his heart. “Yan Yan, I was too anxious just then. I’m not ignoring you.”

He really was extremely angry just then, his anger rushing up to his head. He was most angry about that Ruan Yan’s treacherous actions, and was also slightly resentful of Yan Yan having fallen for his tricks, so he didn’t send her back to the classroom.

Chu Nan made apology after apology. This was a treatment which no one else had ever received before.

Qin Lin High’s school idol Chu Nan had another reputation which could match up to a school tyrants. It was just that his face was too good looking and that his character was too well known, so no one dared to confer the status of school tyrant on him.

Chu Nan had almost never so well-temperedly explained the situation to someone in his entire life, never mind trying to explain it time and time again without the other person listening.

It was just that Ruan Yan’s temper was too pampered. His parents really did raise him spending money like water and it was his first time experiencing such a grievance as being pushed against the wall like this.

He ignored Chu Nan, but made Chu Nan listen to his sobs.

“Yan Yan, don’t ignore me. Don’t cry so hard…”

“Exactly who is ignoring who? Chu Nan, you're making groundless counter charges!” Ruan Yan suddenly changed to a crisp milky voice, shouting angrily at Chu Nan, and once again weakly crying after shouting.

It was obviously him who was shouting at others, but in the end, he acted as if he was the one who’d been bullied.

Chu Nan’s head was almost as big as three heads at this moment. Nothing he said worked and he only wanted Ruan Yan to stop crying.

Chu Nan indistinctly thought that at this time, it didn’t matter what he said, his only solution was to admit his wrongs and apologise.

His voice was low and suppressed with a hint of male charm, “Sorry. Yan Yan, don’t cry anymore.”

“Sorry, it was all my fault.”

Ruan Yan’s sobs stopped for a moment. Chu Nan grasped onto this opportunity to ask, “Yan Yan, where are you now?”

“Did you forget where you left me?” An apology was still not enough.

What he’d hurt was his shoulder and his foot. Chu Nan’s effortless apology that caused him no pain obviously was not enough for him to muddle his way through.

Ruan Yan’s tears kept falling and he couldn’t even suppress it. His voice even turned slightly hoarse as he cried in anger. “You wanted to leave me, so you just left me. Now you want to find me, so you’re just coming to find me. What kind of dream are you having? Don’t ever come to find me again… wu~ (1)”

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a “pai”. No matter how many times Chu Nan dialled his phone, no one answered.

Right afterwards, Ruan Yan held onto the wall and bore with his pain, though “disabled in body, but strong in mentality”, making his way to change clothes.

Even if he had to crawl, he still needed to change into his female clothes and crawl out of school.

And then let Chu Nan carry him back.

Relying on pure force, the school tyrant had bullied his classmate. It really was too overboard.

Every step that Ruan Yan took was like stepping on knives. He was in so much pain that his lips turned white, but he staunchly changed into a dress and step by step, shifted back.

On such a hot summer day with the cicadas singing as the water boiled in the sun, he didn’t know why he had to suffer this kind of torture.

Chu Nan found Ruan Yan in a desolate corner of the outer street. He immediately ran up, “Yan Yan, why are you here? You didn’t wait for me at the restaurant?”

Ruan Yan didn’t say anything. In order to express his disregard towards Chu Nan, he even dragged his broken foot and took a few steps.

Three, two, one… Ruan Yan slowly counted in his heart.

Chu Nan grabbed his hand, “Yan Yan, what’s wrong with your leg?”

His voice turned dark and vicious, “Who bullied you?”

Ruan Yan’s eyes had even turned red and swollen from crying. With a look of heartbreaking sadness, he pretended to push at Chu Nan’s hand, his voice extremely calm as he said, “I want to return to the classroom, let go of me.”

Chu Nan didn’t let go, “I’ll take you to sick bay first and let them look at your leg.”

“Won’t go.” Ruan Yan’s ankle hurt again, making him want to punish Chu Nan more. Coldly untying his butterfly bow, he wanted to throw it into the rubbish bin.

“Yan Yan, you…” Chu Nan lost his soul from panic and wanted to steal away the butterfly bow.

“You can’t touch it…” Ruan Yan’s delicate voice slowly turned hopeless, “I hate butterfly bows, I’ll never wear it again. You don’t have to come look for me again.”

This was obviously only because he’d said that he’d like butterfly bows before that Yan Yan wanted to throw it (2) away.

Chu Nan’s heart hurt and his desires faded away. Trying his best to maintain a calm expression, he didn’t know why, after he’d gone out once, the Yan Yan who’d liked him so much before didn’t want him to touch her anymore.

It was obviously because you pushed me!

Ruan Yan gave him the answer with reddened eyes, “You leave as soon as you’re slightly unsatisfied without considering my opinion at all! You don’t even say anything to reassure me and I have absolutely no idea what you’re going to do. I don’t even know if you’re ignoring me or not.”

As a man, even he couldn’t bear with Chu Nan’s terrible temper, never mind girls.

“Chu Nan…” The more Ruan Yan’s foot hurt, the more he became immersed in his act. With a cry, he couldn’t withstand the pain and began crying again, “I don’t ever want to sustain this kind of relationship again. You ignore me.”

Chu Nan’s heart hurt to pieces and after quickly explaining what he went to do to Ruan Yan, he immediately promised that no matter what happened, he would never leave first again.

Wave after wave of cold sweat gathered on Chu Nan’s forehead because he was too nervous, but he still attentively blocked out the sun for Ruan Yan using his clothes.

Chu Nan’s fierce and handsome features hadn’t changed. Even when he was silently doing this kind of thing, it didn’t make him seem a single bit more approachable.

With Chu Nan sincerely apologising, it wasn’t like Ruan Yan wanted to abandon his mission, so upon seeing Chu Nan bend over for him, though his face was cold, Ruan Yan still climbed onto his back honestly.

Chu Nan’s body suddenly wavered.

Ruan Yan mocked, “What? You think I’m heavy? Then I’ll get down now.”

He made it seem as if he was really about to get off and Chu Nan hurriedly grabbed his hand.

“You’re not heavy, Yan Yan. Don’t move.” He really didn’t think that the skinny noodle like Yan Yan would be that heavy, at least 50kg. (3)

Ruan Yan didn’t actually want to get off and he easily put his bag in front of his chest, thus making sure that Chu Nan wouldn’t feel his be able to feel him and realise that he was actually piggy-backing a man.

Because Ruan Yan had to disguise as a male and a female at the same time, so he had to take a lot of clothes with him.

He’d specially ordered this bag which appeared to be a normal bag, but was actually a light green shade which a girl would like on one side with a furry white cat keyring, and a pure black, low key colour with no design on the other.

Chu Nan carried Ruan Yan to the hospital. He’d originally wanted to take him to the school sick bay, but Ruan Yan had thought that it was too shameful and didn’t want to go.

When they passed a supermarket, Ruan Yan suddenly said, “Chu Nan, I want to eat an ice block. (4)”

His voice fell, “You didn’t eat the ice block I bought you before and I didn’t have the appetite to eat it either so it all melted.”

Chu Nan’s heart hurt.

He didn’t know why he was so possessed before, leaving Yan Yan by herself and making her injure her foot when searching for him. She was so scared that she cried.

He carried Ruan Yan to the supermarket only to find that there was no peach flavoured ice block.

Ruan Yan quietly whispered by his ear, “Chu Nan, I want to eat peach flavoured ice block with you.”

The only fruit Chu Nan liked to eat was peach. He and Ruan Yan came a bit closer and he could vaguely smell peach beneath his brow as Ruan Yan’s breath fell beside his ear.

A peculiar feeling rose up in Chu Nan’s body again. This year’s summer was so hot that it made people feel frantic.

On one hand, his heart hurt for Ruan Yan. On the other, he happily carried Ruan Yan to look for peach flavoured ice block and the hospital.

Ruan Yan actually quite enjoyed watching Chu Nan willing to be an “ox and horse” (5) for him. His foot was injured when Chu Nan had violently shoved him against the wall anyways, so if Chu Nan didn’t exert himself, who else would exert themselves?

Even when they got to the hospital and the doctor said that they had to first disinfect the area, he still directed Chu Nan to do it.

Chu Nan had loved engaging in fights since young so he hadn’t had just a few injuries. When his mum and dad were angry at him, he would have to sterilize the wound and apply the medicine himself.

It was fine if he applied the medicine for himself, but for Yan Yan…

Chu Nan pursed his lips, his head covered in sweat. Using an iodine covered cotton tip, he carefully moistened it a little, “Yan Yan, does it hurt?”

“Hurts. It hurts when it’s touched.” Ruan Yan didn’t actually hurt that much. The most painful time had already passed.

Chu Nan already didn’t dare to do anything anymore. He looked at the fresh wound on the slim and tender ankle and found it more painful than when he himself was hurt.

“Yan Yan, I’ll go call the doctor.”

“Don’t.” Ruan Yan glanced up at him, “It’s fine as long as you do it softly. If you do it hard, then I’ll get mad at you.”

Chu Nan was speechless. Yan Yan had a bad temper, but was easy on the eyes. It really caused one to marvel.

Ruan Yan was injured by Chu Nan. During his period of recovery, he tormented Chu Nan in order to release his resentment.

Chu Nan always worked hard and was never angered by the criticism. Only when he was fully recovered did Chu Nan’s jealousy rear its head again.

He’d already seen through Ruan Yan’s (6) frivolity and could tell that he didn’t actually want to continue tutoring Yan Yan.

“Yan Yan, listen to me.” A cold light flashed through Chu Nan’s eyes, “Ruan Yan that perv… had problems with his style. I got Ju Ping and the others to investigate him. At his old school, he purposefully seduced a lot of girls and moreover, he even went with the girls to markets and… hotels.”

Ruan Yan: ???

He obviously hadn’t done these things at all, Chu Nan was falsely accusing him!

“Chu Nan, is the information trustworthy?” Ruan Yan asked.

“It’s trustworthy.” Although it didn’t say that he seduced his female classmates, but if going shopping with his female classmates wasn’t seduction, then what was?

The hotel thing really was fake, but Yan Yan was so pure and innocent. She needed to be scared in order to not be tricked.

In actuality, it was only in order to disguise as Ran Yan that Ruan Yan had gone out shopping for clothes with those girls.

Ruan Yan hadn’t gone to a hotel with anyone yet. Looking at Chu Nan’s appearance, how could he not tell that Chu Nan was intentionally framing him?

“It’s not like I care about his personality. His grades are good, and he can just tutor me.” Ruan Yan purposefully said.

Chu Nan took up a pen, “Can’t I tutor you?”

He took a maths paper from Ruan Yan’s desk. Before coming, Chu Nan had specially memorised it, and now he confidently said, “I can do it too.”

Ruan Yan gave him a chance to prove himself, but, staring at Chu Nan with his innocent peach eyes, he switched the paper in Chu Nan’s hands with another.

Chu Nan: …

He expressionlessly stared at the paper for half a minute and took out working paper, “Pick C.”

Ruan Yan shook his head, “Chu Nan~ Ruan Yan can solve a question within a second, and moreover, the answer is B.”

Chu Nan took a deep breath in and continued on.

“A?”

“Wrong. And you used 5 minutes, you’re too slow.” Ruan Yan expressionlessly replied, but fearing that he would hurt Chu Nan’s pride – after all, men were like that – he gave a bit of sugar after suppressing him.

Ruan Yan obediently cajoled him, “Chu Nan~ It’s not like I like you because of your studies. You’re the most awesome, don’t bother about Ruan Yan ma~”

Yan Yan said she liked me. As expected, she really was infatuated with him.

Chu Nan’s mood turned slightly happier, “But I don’t feel assured by him. Yan Yan, it doesn’t matter if my grades aren’t good right now. I’ll go invite a private tutor when I go home today, and I’ll tutor you in the future.”

Invite a private tutor? Ruan Yan was just worrying over how there wasn’t enough time for him to disguise as the campus villain, but now Chu Nan’s idea was just like giving him a pillow. (7)

Ruan Yan really appreciated this type of action which made it easier for him and was so excited in that moment that he gave Chu Nan a heart, “En! Chu Nan! I like you the best! You’re so smart, you’ll definitely learn everything quickly.”

He even curved his peach blossom eyes and copying the dramas, blinked his eyes and said, “Ge-ge~ You’re the best!”

Little Psycho, teasing me again.

Chu Nan couldn’t stand Ruan Yan’s teasing and stretched out his hand to touch his face, “En, right. How long did you say that Ruan Yan needed to solve a problem?”

Ruan Yan answered, “A second!”

“Guys can’t be too fast.” Chu Nan couldn’t resist slandering Ruan Yan, “Little Psycho, I’m still the best.”

…Can’t be…too fast?

It was he who couldn’t! Ruan Yan expressionlessly swallowed a mouthful of old blood and sent a fist towards Chu Nan’s shoulder with a “dong!”.

It sounded quite heavy!

“Chu Nan, you’re not allowed to make lewd joked with me, otherwise I’ll hit you, ying!”

Translator’s Notes:

(1) Crying sound

(2) In original, it actually said “he”. I’m not sure if it’s a typo or not, but I think it makes more sense if I translate it into “it”

(3) Lol, I translated this as 100kg before ahahah (2斤 = 1kg/公斤)

(4) Ice cream would sound better I feel like, but ice block is direct translation

(5) Willing to labour for him

(6) Referring to the male identity here in case you couldn’t tell

(7) An opportunity for him to get more screen time

Note:

School is starting tmr, yay ;-; This means that updates will probably become more sporadic (until after wk4, when all my tests are mostly over), and we'll reply to comments way later ahaha... Sorry guys QAQ
