Chapter 33: EXTRA
To be precise, Zhou Zizheng fell in love with Yu Haozhou at first sight. The reason was simple: he was completely to his taste. However, Zhou Zizheng never dared to harbor any hopes for him.
Yu Haozhou was the young master of a rich family. Zhou Zhizheng was just a poor boy who had struggled to get into the city’s prestigious school from the countryside.
The round-trip fare might require his grandmother to collect bottles for half a month to gather enough money. Meanwhile, a pair of Yu Haozhou’s shoes cost four figures, and he never wore the same pair twice. No matter how thick-skinned Zhou Zizheng was, he knew his place.
This kind of wealthy young man’s future would either involve marrying a young heiress through a business alliance or finding a suitable girl to carry on the family name.
Until one day in the classroom, someone suddenly joked and asked Yu Haozhou if he was dating.
Zhou Zhizheng’s ears perked up more than anyone else’s. Yu Haozhou just smiled: “How can you tell?”
“You’ve been smiling so happily lately, it’s hard not to notice.”
“I’ll take that as a blessing.” Yu Haozhou scratched his hair. “We’re not together yet. I’m planning to pursue them.”
Zhou Zhizheng felt the structured formulas in his textbook turn into scribbles; he couldn’t understand a single one.
Several boys were curious and started egging him on, asking which class the beautiful girl who had caught his eye was in. Yu Haozhou said candidly, “I like guys. As for who it is, I won’t say for now.”
The group was stunned. They probably hadn’t expected him to be so direct about his sexual orientation and didn’t know how to react.
The sensitive topic was quickly glossed over, but Zhou Zhizheng’s heart was violently shaken. Yu Haozhou liked guys too? Would his family agree?
Zhou Zhizheng didn’t know if his family would agree. But that very night, Zhou Zhizheng had a wet dream. He dreamed of Yu Haozhou lying beneath him. Sticking out his tongue to lick his lips, hugging his neck, and calling him ‘husband.’ Zhou Zhizheng nearly shouted out loud in the dorm.
It was so damn satisfying.
…
Zhou Zhizheng received his first love letter from a boy, and it was delivered by Yu Haozhou.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that his hand trembled uncontrollably when he accepted the letter, and he thought their love was mutual.
He was so preoccupied with the surprise that he didn’t notice the look in Yu Haozhou’s eyes that seemed ready to murder him.
It wasn’t until he opened the letter that he realized Yu Haozhou was delivering it for an upperclassman.
Drenched as if by a bucket of cold water, Zhou Zhizheng’s face fell, and he unhesitatingly threw the love letter into the trash can.
Yu Haozhou immediately flew into a rage: “Zhou Zhizheng, what the hell do you mean by that?”
Zhou Zhizheng maintained his aloof persona: “I’m not rejecting you; why are you so agitated?”
Yu Haozhou scoffed: “You’ll never get the chance to reject me. Keep dreaming.”
Realizing he was being led by the nose, Yu Haozhou inwardly cursed himself and circled back: “Did you even finish reading it before you threw it away? Don’t you know how to show respect?”
Zhou Zhizheng retrieved the so-called love letter from the trash can with an expressionless face and unfolded it in front of him.
Yu Haozhou: “…….”
Zhou Zhizheng made sure he saw it before tearing the paper into shreds. Yu Haozhou, knowing he was in the wrong, sat down awkwardly, turning his head away, daring not to look at him. A wave of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He never thought that the upperclassman, who looked so innocent, would be so… unrestrained in private.
He even wrote something like… Zhou Zhizheng’s size was just right, and he liked it.
Was it? Had he seen it with his own eyes? Maybe it wasn’t even bigger than mine, Yu Haozhou thought. Realizing what was going through his mind, Yu Haozhou fiercely shook his head, unsure why he was competitively comparing such absurd things.
The upperclassman’s pursuit didn’t stop. Yu Haozhou’s disapproval of Zhou Zhizheng grew stronger. No matter how dense Zhou Zhizheng was, he realized that the person Yu Haozhou liked was probably this upperclassman. Tsk, his taste is worse than the upperclassman’s.
As soon as he thought that Yu Haozhou liked that upperclassman, Zhou Zhizheng became increasingly ruthless when rejecting the suitor.
Yu Haozhou’s attitude towards him also became more hostile. The two reached the point of drawing a line down the center of their shared desk, which was a vicious cycle.
It wasn’t until the basketball game, when he personally witnessed Yu Haozhou’s foot get injured after being pushed, that Zhou Zhizheng became more anxious than anyone else.
He ignored Yu Haozhou’s sarcasm and everyone else’s stares, picked him up horizontally in his arms, and rushed him to the medical room.
Although Yu Haozhou still didn’t give him a kind look on the way, his attitude was much better than before, and he didn’t make a fuss.
During the time Yu Haozhou’s leg was injured, Zhou Zhizheng took care of him. Even when he had to go to the restroom during the break, Zhou Zhizheng helped him, which made Yu Haozhou feel awkward.
“Don’t follow me in; I can manage alone.”
Zhou Zhizheng crossed his arms: “I don’t trust you.”
“What is there not to trust?” Yu Haozhou grumbled, “I only injured my foot, not my hand! Get out!”
Zhou Zhizheng couldn’t show his feelings too clearly and said, “Fine.”
Just as he closed the cubicle door for him, he heard Yu Haozhou utter, “What the hell!” His nerves jumped.
He immediately pushed the door open and went in, his eyes automatically fixed on Yu Haozhou’s two slender white legs.
Yu Haozhou was so embarrassed he covered the front, then covered the back: “Get out!”
Zhou Zizheng calmly helped him up from the ground. Before leaving, he even commented, “It’s quite pink.”
Yu Haozhou: “…Zhou Zizheng, you beast!”
…
Kissing Yu Haozhou at the high school graduation party was unexpected. He originally just wanted to say goodbye, but somehow he lost control, and it turned into that.
His grandmother had passed away shortly before. Before she left, she told him about his parentage, saying his biological parents might be in the capital. So Zhou Zhizheng chose a university in Jing City for his application.
When he heard that Yu Haozhou was planning to go to a city down South to avoid him, he knew their relationship would never work out. He decided to cut ties; otherwise, seeing him date, get married, and flaunt their affection on social media later would be sheer torture.
But he never thought fate would be so coincidental. They both enrolled in the same university and happened to run into each other on the first day of registration. Zhou Zhizheng figured their bond was an ill-fated one, and they would probably be stuck together forever.
But then, things took an unexpected turn. He became the son of the richest man and married Yu Haozhou as he wished. He also learned that his wife had been secretly crushing on him for a very long time.
Tsk.
“I should have shamelessly pursued you back in high school. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time.”
Yu Haozhou interrupted his self-pity without mercy: “That wouldn’t have happened. You wouldn’t have won me over in high school.”
“That’s okay; you’ll be mine sooner or later anyway.”
