Chapter 8 - Turned the Male Lead Green (8)

 

Her (1) ying was so ferocious!

 

But it was so cute.

 

Chu Nan couldn’t bear to put his phone away, thinking that Ran Yan was definitely feeling shy.

 

Little Psycho, obviously your hobbies are special, but you still don’t dare to admit it. It wasn’t like he would discriminate against her.

 

Ruan Yan’s expressionlessly hung up the phone on the side, waiting until the red on his face had faded.

 

He definitely wouldn’t let Chu Nan off easily tomorrow.

 

Chu Nan had to apologise to him.

 

Because of the situation with Chu Nan, he’d delayed going home. Now, he walked alone in the shade of the trees.

 

He’d already gone out of the school gates and was now walking along the footpath, reaching a rather secluded area where it was difficult to get a taxi.

 

Ruan Yan called his home, “Uncle Lin, I’m at the 5th Main Road, I’ll trouble you to come and pick me up.”

 

Butler Lin excitedly put down the hand that was wiping the green glazed peacock jade vase antique from the Song dynasty and took off his white gloves as he said, “Alright, Young Master! Should I drive the Ferrari race car to pick you up?”

 

Ruan Yan calmly replied, “Uncle Lin, there are speed limits in the city.”

 

“…That’s right. Then I’ll wrong Young Master and drive the Lamborghini instead.”

 

Ruan Yan hung up the phone and after a moment, Butler Lin arrived driving the car.

 

Ruan Yan opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

 

Butler Lin looked at him through the mirror then exclaimed in shock, “Young Master, your face is red?! Who offended you?”

 

“Young Master’s body doesn’t show signs of having a fight, did someone say something bad to you?”

 

If I said it, you probably wouldn’t believe it. I did it myself.

 

Ruan Yan had never heard any swear words in this lifetime, not to mention him scolding himself. Now, his expression was chilly as he leaned against the seat, feeling slightly weak and tired.

 

“No.” Ruan Yan replied simply.

 

Butler Lin had watched Ruan Yan grow up and thought of him as his own son. Now he hurriedly said, “Young Master, don’t act strong. This kind of situation, no matter if the other person is in the right or wrong, at worst we’ll just donate a building to the school. No matter what, we’ll definitely get you justice.”

 

If one building was not enough to solve the problem, then they would just donate two.

 

Ruan Yan: …

 

Once he’d finished reassuring Butler Lin and went to sleep, he changed into Ran Yan’s clothes on the second day and went to school.

 

Today, Chu Nan shockingly came to school early and left a share of breakfast on his desk.

 

Ruan Yan didn’t eat it, and coldly placed it back onto Chu nan’s desk. Then without a word, he went back to his own seat.

 

“Yan Yan.” Chu Nan whispered, “You already ate breakfast?”

 

Once Ruan Yan heard him use this kind of voice to speak, he recalled how Chu Nan had forced him to insult himself yesterday.

 

He took out his exercise book and quickly wrote a few words in a few strokes, shoving it in front of Chu Nan: “Don’t talk to me.”

 

Ruan Yan specially took note of his handwriting. His own handwriting was energetic and prideful (2), and when he disguised as Ran Yan, he would specially curve his writing a bit.

 

Chu Nan looked at Ruan Yan’s cold, good looking face and scrutinised his appearance. Today, he wasn’t wearing that pinkish-red dress anymore, but a green skirt with a white blouse that had a large butterfly bow in the area where the tie usually was.

 

Ruan Yan had hesitated on whether to wear or not wear the butterfly bow this morning. He’d actually not wanted to wear it, but looking at it from a man’s perspective, wearing should make him appear a lot more cute. Thus, only then did he coldly undertake the job as best he could and put it on.

 

Why was she still so cute when she was angry?

 

Chu Nan intentionally said, “Yan Yan, what did you write? I can’t read it clearly.”

 

If you can’t see clearly then don’t look.

 

Ruan Yan didn’t leave him any face and unhesitatingly turned away.

 

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the classroom, Chu Nan walked over and said, “I’ve come to carefully identify what you wrote, Yan Yan… Your butterfly bow is skewed, I’ll help you tidy it.”

 

Ruan Yan’s butterfly bow was, in fact, skewed. He felt Chu Nan come closer and closer.

 

Ruan Yan wasn’t interested in being extremely close to someone. If it was a normal situation, then he would’ve straightforwardly gotten up and left ages ago.

 

But now, he couldn’t.

 

Ruan Yan had no choice. He could even smell Chu Nan’s scent with how close he was. He leaned his face away from Chu Nan and lifted a hand to push him back. “You’re not allowed to come over, the other classmates will be here soon.”

 

Chu Nan originally only wanted to help him fix his butterfly bow, but now he heard what Ruan Yan said and couldn’t resist saying, “Why can’t we let the others see? En? What are you thinking every day, Little Psycho?”

 

How humiliating.

 

He came closer and closer. Ruan Yan could already hear footsteps outside the door.

 

He panicked and unconsciously pushed Chu Nan with all his strength.

 

That is- a man’s strength.

 

At least, strength which the green butterfly bowed, skinny waisted, long legged “Ran Yan” didn’t have.

 

Chu Nan wasn't prepared for this at all and was forced to take a few steps back, almost tripping over.

 

A thread of shock appeared in his eyes and Ruan Yan rushed to fix the situation, putting on an expression of being angered to the point of almost crying, and yelled at Chu Nan, “You’re horrible, ying!”

 

Chu Nan: …

 

Pushed him, then “ying”ed him.

 

Because the other students had arrived in the classroom, it wasn’t proper for Chu Nan to tease Ruan Yan again. He didn’t want anyone else to see her cute side.

 

Those fierce “ying”s – only he could listen to them.

 

Chu Nan once again recovered his usual lazy and indolent appearance, sitting back in his seat. No one dared to disturb him.

 

He took out his phone and changed "Anxious Crane’s" contact name to “Attacking the Vast Sky with Ying's”.

 

For the entire day, no matter what Chu Nan did, Ruan Yan did not heed him.

 

It was true that he had to seduce Chu Nan, but it wasn’t as if he had to invite an ancestor home. Chu Nan had to apologise to him!

 

Chu Nan tried to start up a conversation without any success, even folding an origami crane and throwing it over.

 

But it wasn’t as if Ruan Yan was a girl. With a single slap, he’d immediately squashed the crane flat on the table.

 

Chu Nan: …

 

As expected, after she’d “ying”ed, there really was a bit of ferociousness within her cuteness.

 

Chu Nan used up all his tactics, yet Ruan Yan did not react to any of them. He had a look at the class timetable and his lips curved up into a grin.

 

When he passed Ruan Yan’s seat, he specially whispered, “PE, remember to come and receive your reward.”

 

The reward was… to touch Chu Nan’s abs.

 

Ruan Yan really did not have any plans to engage in intimacy with Chu Nan. They were both men. Being so close to each other would make it easy for his disguise to be seen through.

 

He’d originally thought to ask for leave during PE and directly not attend, thus not having to change his clothes.

 

But Ruan Yan was disguising as Ran Yan, a bad student whose grades were second last in the year, and the teacher did not agree to his request.

 

Ruan Yan thought it over and considered, how about risking it one more time and going to the girls change rooms?

 

It just so happened that at that moment, Fang Yuan Yuan, who sat at the desk in front of him, turned around and said, “Yan Yan, when are you going to the change rooms? I just bought new lingerie (3) and it’s a bit difficult to button up. Can you help me fix it in a moment?”

 

Ruan Yan recalled the fright the girls change rooms had given him before and politely yet awkwardly replied, “…I’m going a bit later, you should find someone else.”

 

He hesitantly wandered in front of the male change rooms for a long time. Still hesitating, he was suddenly pulled into the change rooms by Chu Nan.

 

“You ignored me for the entire day today, but as soon as I mention the reward, heh…” Chu Nan penned him in (4) on the inside, “Your mouth won’t say anything, but your body is very truthful.”

 

Ruan Yan struggled for a moment but didn’t manage to escape. He didn’t know why Chu Nan was so strong.

 

He didn’t speak, indicating that he was still very angry.

 

Chu Nan raised an eyebrow, “Not speaking? Is it because you still haven’t received your reward?”

 

He made a move, as if about to take off his clothes. Ruan Yan panicked and pressed down his hand. With a slight tremor, he said, “Chu Nan! You, apologise!”

 

He definitely wouldn’t let Chu Nan off so easily.

 

Chu Nan saw that his eyes were already red and couldn’t bear it anymore, “Didn’t I already apologise today?”

 

“You didn’t have any sincerity at all.” Ruan Yan said. He was now Ran Yan and was certainly going to be unreasonable.

 

“What counts at having sincerity?” Chu Nan asked him, “How about I bring you your meals from now on as compensation?”

 

“Obviously you’re extremely happy when I eat your food.” Ruan Yan’s whiny voice broke Chu Nan, “But you only treat me like a toy… You call me a psycho… you think that I’m shallow and superficial.”

 

“Yan Yan, that’s only a term of endearment…”

 

“I don’t care! From now on, unless it’s a special case, then you’re not allowed to say psycho, pervert (5), bastard, beast – these kinds of words.” Ruan Yan domineeringly acted spoilt.

 

He had to stop all possibilities of himself being cursed.

 

Chu Nan thought for a long moment, “I can’t even curse Ruan Yan?”

 

“Can’t ma~” Ruan Yan saw that there was a chance that Chu Nan would accept, and his voice turned even softer, “Chu Nan, be a bit more civilized.”

 

“I suppose I could agree.” Chu Nan was hesitant, “But about today’s reward, you… Are you going to touch or not?”

 

Ruan Yan intuitively thought that if he didn’t touch, then everything would quickly turn yellow (6).

 

Chu Nan’s invading gaze burned like fire. Ruan Yan’s face slowly turned red under this gaze.

 

“I’ll only touch once.”

 

Chu Nan pulled up Ruan Yan’s hand and pressed it against his abs through his clothes. Each muscle was hardened to the point of feeling hot.

 

Ruan Yan had never thought that in this kind of campus youth novel, the side character that he was acting would have this kind of intimate scene.

 

This… Was already the limit of his tolerance. If the requirements became any higher, then he wouldn’t do it anymore.

 

“Chu Nan… We agreed on only once.” How many times had it already been?

“Yan Yan, are there any discrepancies with how you imagined it before? Do you like it?” Chu Nan lowly panted.

 

Ruan Yan had never imagined it in the first place, but now, he had to feign compliance in order to survive.

 

Face red, he stammered, “No discrepancies… Sat-… Satisfied.”

 

Satisfied with what? What did Chu Nan’s abs have to do with him?

 

“Haha.” Chu Nan seemingly was very happy, “And you even said that you weren’t a little… (7) So cute.”

 

Ruan Yan heard the meaning behind those words and a slither of hope rose in his heart, “You’ve agreed Chu Nan? You can’t say those words. Not even about Ruan Yan.”

 

“En. Won’t say, not even about Ruan Yan.” Chu Nan’s pampering voice suddenly turned resolute, “After all, comparing Ruan Yan to a bea… an animal, how unjust is it for the animal?”

 

Ruan Yan: …

 

He suddenly pulled back his hand and forcefully suppressed his anger as he said, “Chu Nan, I’m going to change. You go out and keep watch.”

 

Chu Nan obediently went out.

 

Ruan Yan: …Heh, guard dog.

 

 

Translators Notes

(1) Was he in the original, but CN doesn’t know his identity yet, so I’m keeping it as her

(2) Type of writing style which is a bit difficult to describe… Basically, his handwriting is good

(3) Doesn't specifically say what kind, but I'm pretty sure it's referring to ahem... a particular kind of undergarment

(4) Basically how you would “pen” chickens inside a “pen” (in case it’s difficult to understand in this context). Otherwise, I think you could take it for a kabedon, but it’s not very specific

(5) Chu Nan calls Ruan Yan Little Psycho, but in Chinese, the word used for “psycho” can also be translated into pervert, etc, which might be slightly more in context here, so I put in both. However, I feel like Little Psycho is slightly better than Little Pervert (cos I’m not bothered to go back and change it haha…), so I’m leaving it like that heh…

(6) Fall apart, go to waste, etc. Basically means that his efforts will be waster (I know that yellow is usually symbolises more 'sexual' things, but eh... guess not here lol)

(7) Yeah, he was about to say Little Psycho (pervert)

 

Note:

Good news everyone (≧∀≦) TSILRL is getting popular AHAHAHA (I found it on a couple of aggregator websites lol). But anyways, I noticed that a couple of sites referenced the author wrong, so just a reminder that the author is 雪下金刀 (xue xia jin dao), haha. All credits go to her :)
