Chapter 31 - I Chase Myself (12)

Subtitle: Yan Yan, I can do it!

Ju Ping dangled a cigarette in his mouth, exhaling smoke outside the bathroom, “I say, why can’t you open your eyes a bit. Liking Ruan Yan... apart from being a tiny bit good looking, what else is likeable about him?”

 

Chen Hui grasped his phone, pursing his lips and smiling, “He has a good temperament.”

 

Chen Hui silently added in his heart: it’s not just his temperament that’s good.

 

It was like Ruan Yan’s entire person – his entire body – was simply birthed to fulfil the aesthetic taste of 1s (1), making people want to rip open his white shirt.

 

It was currently the third year of senior high so there still weren’t a lot of wolves preying around, therefore Chen Hui knew that he had to take Ruan Yan down before university started.

 

Ju Ping said, “Fine, I’ll help you.”

 

The second day.

 

There was a faint shadow of green beneath Chu Nan’s eyes, a delicate stubble almost growing on his handsome face.

 

It was uncertain who he was waiting for as he stood in the corridor.

 

Chu Nan’s height made him stand out like a crane amongst a crowd of chicken. Close to 1.9m, when he stood there tall and mighty, added onto his normal reputation of being fierce, there were no students who dared to look at him.

 

Yet Ruan Yan was an exception.

 

Ruan Yan was carrying a pile of exam papers to the staff room. When he passed by, his lips curved up into a mocking arc.

 

Ruan Yan held a grudge against Chu Nan beating him up and had thus broken up with him. Now, all his enthusiasm was put on completing the task of playing the villain.

 

He placidly said, “Haven’t seen you for a day and you already look so haggard. No wonder Ran Yan fell in love with me and broke up with you.”

 

Ruan Yan was already prepared to receive a jab from Chu Nan in return, yet unexpectedly, Chu Nan looked at him with a complicated expression and took the initiative to look away.

 

Ruan Yan: ?

 

He had only broken up with Chu Nan for a few days and Chu Nan had already turned so wimpy?

 

Chu Nan was truly very pained. He’d struggled for a long time last night, attempting to watch those man x man movies. Yet in the end, the main character had yet to take off his clothes when he’d already almost vomited, never mind about getting hard.

 

Chu Nan forced himself for almost 5-6 hours, but still couldn’t bear to continue watching any of them.

 

From this, he could already tell that if he were to be together with Ruan Yan, he definitely wouldn’t be able to satisfy Ruan Yan.

 

They really were fated but not destined.

 

Chu Nan hoarsely hinted to Ruan Yan, “Yan Yan she… falling in love with you is also a good thing. Although I love her deeply, but I can’t give her ‘happiness’ (2).”

 

Happiness?

 

Ruan Yan savoured the taste. He really didn’t think that Chu Nan would admit that he wasn’t good enough.

 

He gave a cold smile. What was Chu Nan pretending for?

 

If he really loved him that much, then he definitely wouldn’t give up so easily. In the end, Chu Nan simply only loved Su Xue.

 

Ruan Yan’s eyes were filled with ice. “Ran Yan is mine now. She doesn’t dare to accept your love.”

 

Finished speaking, he took the papers and went to the staff room.

 

Chu Nan stood in the same spot despondently. Ju Ping walked over, “Brother Chu.”

 

Chu Nan immediately collected himself, “En?”

 

Ju Ping said, “Can you call a few year 1 and 2 guys over? I need them do something.”

 

Chu Nan’s fist was hard. Everyone in the school listened to him.

 

Chu Nan interrogated Ju Ping, “What do you need them for?”

 

Ju Ping wanted to give him a surprise, “Not much, just need people for a game.”

 

Chu Nan wasn’t interested. He made a call and handed the phone to Ju Ping, “Tell them yourself.”

 

Ju Ping took the phone with a grin.

 

When lunch came, Chu Nan wasn’t in the mood to eat. Ju Ping took the opportunity to go to the cafeteria with him. Zhang Yang also came along.

 

Because Qin Lin High’s students were pretty much all rich and wealthy, the cafeteria was basically just a decoration and they barely made any food at all.

 

Ruan Yan rarely went to the cafeteria and today was a special case.

 

But it just so happened that there were more people than usual in the cafeteria today.

 

Whichever serving window Ruan Yan went to was whichever one that would be crowded. When he wanted to eat white gourd, other people would also suddenly want to eat white gourd.

 

Ruan Yan slightly wrinkled his brows, no longer planning to eat at the cafeteria.

 

Chu Nan was sitting not far away and wanted to go over when he saw the situation.

 

But after thinking about it, what would he do if he went over? He could give his own lunch to Ruan Yan to eat, but he still wouldn’t be able to get hard. It was utterly useless.

 

Ju Ping saw Chu Nan’s expression and thought that he was dissatisfied with Ruan Yan, laughingly saying, “Brother Chu, don’t be so frustrated. That person will definitely get what he deserves.”

 

Ju Ping had yet to finish when Chu Nan saw a man walk towards Ruan Yan.

 

That man wore an extremely fake smile. After he said something, Ruan Yan actually went to go sit with him.

 

He even accepted the apple that the man gave him.

 

Chu Nan expressionlessly watched them, carefully listening to what they were saying.

 

Chen Hui said, “I was extremely worried after you left that day. It was only afterwards that I found out that that place is extremely messy, and that it’s best for students to not go there.”

 

Ruan Yan politely replied, “You’re actually so mindful.”

 

“Mindful?” Chu Nan mockingly laughed, “Mindful and yet he gives you an apple to eat? Since when did you ever eat apples?”

 

He was extremely irritated. Such a rotten apple, what was Ruan Yan even eating it for?

 

Ju Ping’s eyes flashed, “Brother Chu, you know what Ruan Yan likes?”

 

He must quickly note it down and give it to Chen Hui. You can only win for sure if you know thee self and thy enemy right?”

 

Chu Nan wanted to say it for Ruan Yan to hear, and raised his voice, “He’s tutored me before so of course I know. He likes to eat seafood and medium well-done steak. He basically doesn’t drink… He hates apples the most.”

 

Chu Nan was speaking very loudly and Chen Hui naturally heard, apologetically saying, “So you don’t eat apples…”

 

Ruan Yan coldly replied, “I’m not picky, don’t listen to him.”

 

Ruan Yan mockingly continued, “He’s not even clear about his girlfriends… No, his ex-girlfriends likes and dislikes. They split up so quickly, so how could he even possibly know about mine?”

 

Chu Nan stabbed his knee twice. He truly wasn’t qualified… He wasn’t even clear on his girlfriends gender.

 

Ruan Yan only ate half an apple. He left the cafeteria once he was finished.

 

Chu Nan’s feelings were complicated, and he didn’t want to release his anger on Ju Ping and others, so he told them to go back first whilst he went for a walk by himself.

 

Chu Nan looked like a lonely lion who’d failed to seek a mate as he walked under the shade of the trees.

 

Occasionally, there were girls who happened to run into him, but upon seeing his expression, they also didn’t dare to greet him, running away and looking back occasionally.

 

“Go, let’s quickly go find Ruan Yan.”

 

Chu Nan suddenly heard this sentence and stood still, opening his mouth and unkindly saying, “Who are you guys going to go look for?”

 

The two people looked at each other in surprise, “Br-brother Chu...”

 

Chu Nan’s eyes darkened, appearing even fiercer than the demons and ghosts depicted in paintings. He loudly scolded, “You guys are here to look for me? Am I called Ruan Yan?”

 

Only after being scared by Chu Nan like this did the two people say, “No, no, Brother Ping told us to go find Ruan Yan.”

 

“Find him to do what? To beat him?” Chu Nan asked.

 

“No... No, it’s… It’s to give him something.”

 

Chu Nan took the paper from their hands. Pink letter paper. Upon opening, it said: I’m the most powerful king in the snowy territory, and also the most beautiful lover in the world.

 

“What f**king lover.” Chu Nan viciously crumpled the letter, “Is Ju Ping tired of living?”

 

“No, Chen Hui wrote it.” That person replied honestly, “Brother Ping told us to help Chen Hui chase Ruan Yan. Some people are giving love letters, some are buying flowers, some are buying food, and some are buying rose candles and the like.”

 

Chu Nan’s face turned more and more dark, “Ju Ping found you guys to do this kind of stuff?”

 

“En.”

 

Chu Nan was angered to death. Using his people- to help another man chase after his boyfriend.

 

Ju Ping had a death wish.

 

Chu Nan said, “Quickly tell the others that no one is to participate in this matter. Otherwise, don’t blame me for acting.”

 

After he finished, he hurriedly went to look for Ruan Yan. He had to intercept those love letters and flowers before they reached him!

 

Those things, were dirty.

 

Chu Nan’s steps were quite quick, but his phone suddenly rang. It was Ruan Yan’s call, not Ran Yan’s.

 

Chu Nan picked it up, “Ruan Yan? Where are you?”

 

Ruan Yan asked, “Didn’t you ask to meet me at the bar from last time? Chu Nan, you’re being so unrestrained during school time, I’m going to tell Grandma Chu ah.”

 

That bar?

 

Gay bar!

 

Chu Nan’s eyes were about to crack, “When did I ask you to meet at that bar? Did I say why I wanted to meet you there?”

 

Ruan Yan coldly said, “You said, you were going to introduce a boyfriend to me.”

 

He continued, “You’re actually introducing a boyfriend to a guy, I’m going to tell Grandma Chu about this as well.”

“A complaining demon!” Chu Nan was worried to death, “Quickly come back from there and it’ll be fine even if you go complain to my dad.”

 

He would be crazy to introduce a boyfriend to Ruan Yan.

 

Chu Nan quickly ran towards the outside of the school, and he actually met Chen Hui on the way there.

 

Chu Nan didn’t even have time to speak when Chen Hui gratefully said, “Brother Chu, thank you so much for reminding me about what Brother Ruan likes to eat today, and even getting people to help me chase Brother Ruan. If Brother Ruan and I really manage to get together, then I definitely won’t forget about your kindness today.”

 

Chu Nan’s anger rose up to his head as he listened.

 

You’re cuckolding me and yet you still want to thank me for my ‘kindness’?

 

He impolitely asked, “You made Ruan Yan go to the gay bar?”

 

“En, I’m going to go meet him immediately. Brother Chu, I wish you well in chasing back Ran Yan.”

 

Chu Nan said, “Don’t go anymore.”

 

His tone suddenly turned cold, his inky, dark gaze staring at Chen Hui, “I hate gays the most. Since you’ve fallen into my hands, how about you roll back to where you came from and play with eggs instead. The gay bar isn’t somewhere you can go.”

 

In the end, Chen Hui went back.

 

He was very clear on Chu Nan’s bad-temper. Even if he were to really get unhappy and do something to him, he still wouldn’t really suffer any kind of punishment.

 

The world was so unfair.

 

Even Ruan Yan had to be a tutor for someone wealthy and powerful like Chu Nan.

 

When Chu Nan rushed over to the entrance of the gay, he saw Ruan Yan waiting for him under a tree.

 

That tree was extremely big, blooming with purple flowers. There were even thin branches drooping from it, and when the sunlight shone down, Ruan Yan, who was standing under the tree, appeared extremely beautiful.

 

Chu Nan went over. “Why would you come out just because someone asked you to. Chu Nan isn’t familiar with Ruan Yan, how could I possibly invite you out?”

 

Chu Nan had to educate Ruan Yan. He’d realised that having good grades didn’t mean having experience in society.

 

“Did you forget about what happened to you the last time you came to this bar? You’ll come out just because an unfamiliar person asked you to?”

 

Ruan Yan said, “I thought we were love rivals and are quite familiar with each other.”

 

“As for the problem you’re talking about, I’m not scared.” Ruan Yan’s mouth was stubborn, “Do you think I’m you?”

 

Chu Nan didn’t want to argue with him at the entrance of the gay bar. He wanted to go to the bathroom right now, thus he pulled Ruan Yan with him to go to the bathroom.

 

Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel safe leaving Ruan Yan here alone.

 

Chu Nan let out some water, and upon opening the door, he saw Ruan Yan washing his hands.

 

Thin clothing clung to his slender waist. Because of his slightly hunched back, a bit of the snow white skin at the back of his lower neck was revealed.

 

Chu Nan’s entire body shook, a certain part of his body beginning to resuscitate.

 

How was this called not being able to get hard? This was merely a view of his back, and he could already do it.

 

He couldn’t bear it anymore. Chu Nan couldn’t resist the longing he’d been feeling for Ruan Yan these couple of days, and he decided that even if he couldn’t do it when facing his front, it was still enough for him to be able to do it to his back.

 

At worst, he would just hide this secret from Ruan Yan forever.

 

Chu Nan excitedly went over, naturally hugging Ruan Yan from the back. “Ruan Yan, I’m hard.”

 

Ruan Yan: …

 

The male lead of the romance novel didn’t contract a disease right? He called him over to the male bathroom to do this kind of thing.

 

Ruan Yan coldly turned around, dumping icy water onto Chu Nan’s face. “Are you awake yet?”

 

Chu Nan: …

 

Yan Yan wouldn’t admit that he was Yan Yan, what could he do now?

 

It couldn’t be said that Ruan Yan wasn’t scared today. He was quite reassured about Chu Nan’s character, so he’d come over with a single call.

 

But after thinking about it carefully, if that day’s event were to happen again, what could he do to escape?

 

So, Ruan Yan had given Chu Nan a call to make him hurry over.

 

Ruan Yan’s heart was still filled with fear, but because of his character settings as the villain, he couldn’t allow Chu Nan to comfort him.

 

Ruan Yan coldly said to Chu Nan, “Go back to school if you’re awake.”

 

“…What if I haven’t woken up yet?” Chu Nan asked.

 

Ruan Yan elegantly replied, “There’s a wall right there. It’s up to you to use it however you want.”

 

Chu Nan: …

 

The two people went back to the school. Because of fear, Ruan Yan’s back still felt cold. After thinking about it, he ducked away and went to change into female clothing. With an innocent expression, he prepared to go find Chu Nan.

 

The author has something to say:

 

Good night everyone, I’ve put the deposit receipt for a danmei asura field on my author profile, everyone can go see if they like it or not. Also, I would like to recommend a friend’s novel, 《The Fox Spirit isn’t open for business today》, it’s Eating Strawberries With Bare Hand da-da’s, summary is as follows:

 

*Ploughing fields/Farming* *Marriage first, love after* *Mountain Sea Scripture setting* *Fantasy*

 

Double personality torch dragon gong x low eq unwittingly seducing tens of thousands of people fox spirit boss shou

 

1:

 

In order to hide from the wolf who has ulterior motives towards him, the fox spirit hardened his heart and stamped his foot, getting married to the dragon who popped out from nowhere.

 

However, this dragon was handsome, and he also owned a lot of houses. He might even own a mine.

 

Thinking about it, he also seemed to have made quite a profit.

 

2:

 

Fox spirit inherited the fox races large courtyard, and an additional ‘small courtyard in business’ app appeared on his phone.

 

The ‘small courtyard’ app had an unlock-and-furnish ability. It was a high levelled home-stay equipment that only required a simple tap.

 

Every week it would randomly gift a resource card, which could be used to exchange novel items in the mall.

 

Even more so, it could also unlock pieces of land –––– the back mountain, a mansion with a view of the sea, a natural hot spring, rainforest adventure…

 

Lu Liang Liang became the first fox in 500 years whose cultivation increased.

 

【But it was actually the story of a scheming dragon who had set his eyes on a pretty fox spirit, and then proceeded to lead the fox spirit home to grow a tail.】

 

Little Theatre:

 

The candle lit first night of a new marriage. The fox spirit lifted up his sleep robe and pricked up his tail.

 

“Go quicker, I still need to import items tomorrow.”

 

The dragon thought that the words “go quicker” were provocations towards him.

Translator’s Notes:

(1) 0 = shous, 1 = gongs (a tiny bit out of the blue…)

(2) Lol lol, he said xing fu. In Chinese, happiness is ‘xin’ fu, but here, the author (or CN) used ‘xing’ (sexual pleasure) fu. HAHAHAHHA.

 

Why do I feel like you guys are missing out on the hilariousness of CN being worried that he can't get erect... Ugh... sometimes translation and word choice is so difficult TvT (I feel like using "get hard" was a bad idea cos it kinda just 'jumps out' in this context? Like if u don't think along those particular lines, you'd just wonder "what got hard" oof... but then using "erect" feels a bit too sensual or out of place sometimes...)

 

----------

 

Idk about the novel in the author’s notes and don’t take the translation of the summary too seriously… the translation was very rough, and I had no idea what was going on for half of it ahhhh…. (the translation for the title of the novel is definitely not the best)

 

However, I did manage to find the raws to the novel (pretty sure it’s not translated, or at least not on NU), so here’s the link: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=3966441

The Chinese name is 《狐狸精今天不营业》and the author is 徒手吃草莓. Original publisher is Jin Jiang (I’m not going to say the full name haha).
