Later, He Became A Royal Healer-Chapter 115 - Picking up soap.
Chapter 115 - Picking up soap.
… No way, allowing him to come in was impossible, like hell he was going to allow him to come in!
You Liangxing wrenched his eyes open, “Kang Shengzhe!”
But the latter half of his words were spoken too late because Kang Shengzhe had already lowered his entire person completely at the other end of the tub. You Liangxing could only feel the water surge up quickly before a huge portion of the water was displaced by Kang Shengzhe, spilling all over the floor with an audible splash.
You Liangxing was so angry his veins were visible, “Are you insane?”
Kang Shengzhe: “Someone just wanted to soak in a bath.”
Whenever Kang Shengzhe used ‘someone’ to address himself, it was like his tongue and conduct could no longer be straightened out since his words had the tendency to stick together. Even if he were to disregard how much of a squeeze it was for two men of relatively tall statures to share a bathtub first, there basically wasn’t enough water for them to use. Although You Liangxing expressed his outrage with his mouth, his body did not dare to move at all, afraid that the slightest movement might bring him into contact with a place of Kang Shengzhe’s that he should not touch.
“Prior to this, which sentence of mine permitted you to come in?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “You didn’t agree, but you didn’t reject it either~”
You Liangxing: “… Forget it, you can soak by yourself.”
Kang Shengzhe pulled You Liangxing in a hurry, and promised thrice, “Don’t go, don’t go, I won’t do anything. I’ve already entered, if you go, I’ll have to fill up the water again.”
You Liangxing stared at him, causing Kang Shengzhe to change his words again. He said: “You must be tired after returning from the Imperial Capital. Soaking for a while more is good for your health because it reduces your fatigue.”
You Liangxing continued to stare at him coldly, but he still sat back in the bathtub in the end. The two of them gazed at each other amidst the fine, enshrouding steam, and their surroundings were quiet save the occasional and accidental sound of water sloshing.
You Liangxing endured time and time again before he raised his hand and splashed water towards Kang Shengzhe. “Still looking!”
Kang Shengzhe let out his customary ying as he used his hand to wipe his face. “I can’t even look?”
His replying gaze was enough to tell him whether he approved of it or not. Kang Shengzhe’s neck shrank back and he said, aggrieved, “Fine, I won’t look, I’ll close my eyes.”
As he said, a thought flashed past his head and he said with much interest, “Liang Liang, I’ll you a joke?”
You Liangxing: “… You’re not closing your eyes yet?”
Kang Shengzhe: “I’ll close my eyes after I say it.”
Helpless, You Liangxing replied: “… Say it.”
Kang Shengzhe giggled and his long arms stretched and took one of the bathing products that was placed by the side of the bathtub. He gave it a tight squeeze, and that new bar of soap he was gripping onto slipped out his hands, whizzing before it fell on the ground.
Joyful, Kang Shengzhe said: “Look! The bar of soap dropped!”
You Liangxing: “……”
A kick went straight to his chest, and that little giant by the surname of Kang finally quietened down after spitting out some blood.
The bath lasted for more than half an hour. Although the water had cooled, the people involved were dizzy and they exited the bathroom to change into clean clothes. Then, You Liangxing received a call from Liao Su, asking if they wanted to meet for a meal.
Gathering for a meal after not meeting him for two months due to his trip to Imperial Capital was something that had to be done. Thus, You Liangxing agreed and turn his head back to ask Kang Shengzhe. “Are you going?”
“What?”
“To eat.”
“At this time?”
“Supper, eating anything is fine.”
Kang Shengzhe said, “Go, going, going.”
Naturally, Liao Su heard his voice as well and he teased smilingly, “Yi&#k2014; you guys are together late at night? Really&#k2026;”
You Liangxing interrupted him by asking, “Are you treating?”
Liao Su changed his tune instantaneously, “I really ought to, I have to! If we don’t reminiscence after not meeting for such a long time, how can I be considered human?”
You Liangxing laughed coldly and before he dropped the call, Liao Su said heartily, “Come down soon, Xiao Linzi and I are already nearby.”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Liang Chulin came too?”
Keeping his phone, You Liangxing asked: “What are you snickering about?”
Kang Shengzhe: “I’m not snickering.”
You Liangxing: “Do you think I have problems with my vision?”
Despite his visible struggle, Kang Shengzhe could no longer hold back his laughter as he said: “Liang Chulin is an interesting person, if he doesn’t come, I’ll be missing something that brings me delight.”
You Liangxing wanted to say something but he hesitated, “… Kang Shengzhe, you’re really—”
Really mean, mean to the point where it’s a little cute.
The four quickly gathered downstairs. Liang Chulin’s heart and mind brightened completely when he saw You Liangxing, but his complexion darkened with a swoosh when he turned his head and saw Kang Shengzhe, and he almost spat on the spot.
Gleeful, Kang Shengzhe asked: “How is it, isn’t he particularly interesting?”
You Liangxing: “……” You can shut up.
Liang Chulin remained oblivious to their discussion, “Brother Liang Liang, what are you guys talking about?”
With pity and doting intent in his heart, You Liangxing patted Liang Chulin’s head and said warmly, “Nothing at all, let’s go and eat.”
The four of them held their gathering at a barbeque shop that they regularly frequented, and the person who loved barbeque were not the proletariats by the names of Kang Shengzhe and Liao Su, or the small bourgeoisie Liang Chulin, but the inheritor of a third generation wealth who was literally – in every sense of the word – rich, wealthy, prosperous, affluent and loaded.
You Liangxing really loved barbeque.
Maybe because this child of a rich entrepreneur had always been too down-to-earth, no one had found out that he was outrageously rich up until now. When they were done ordering, there were even people who wanted to snatch the bill from him.
“I’ll pay for it.”
“No way! Brother Liang Liang must have suffered during his internship, I heard that you don’t get paid during your internship!”
Liao Su might have the proclivity to crack jokes, but when it came to forking out the money, he actually stood up and said: “Either I pay for it or we split the bill.”
You Liangxing did not bother to modestly decline and he merely said: “Everyone sit back down.”
He did not say much, but his temperament and the cold expression on his face ensured that there was no room for rebuttals. Liao Su and Liang Chulin sat down obediently and it took them a long time to recover after they had been reprimanded.
Kang Shengzhe prompted the pair: “Are you still going to snatch it?”
Liao Su said: “Not snatching it anymore, not snatching.”
Liang Chulin snorted in contempt, “You’re really impolite for someone eating on someone else’s expense.”
Kang Shengzhe laughed softly, “How is it someone else’s? I’ll be giving every cent I earn to Liang Liang in the future, he’s just paying in advance now~”
Liang Chulin felt his teeth sour and he could not help but spit, “Fart!”
Once the bill was settled, their dishes were sent to them soon after. While Liao Su was eating, he maintained an expression that was yearning to say something funny. Irritated by his gaze and afraid that he would die from choking it back, You Liangxing said: “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Liao Su was not polite. Plastering on the appearance of a swindler starting his tale, he began to speak. “Brother Liang, do you know that, right now, you— no, you and Kang Shengzhe, have already set the entire school on fire?”
You Liangxing: “When you say entire school, where are you pointing at?”
Liao Su: “Just… the web forum.”
You Liangxing could not resist the urge to chortle. He knew it. “The number of times we appear on the web forum on a regular basis aren’t few either.”
Liao Su spoke rapidly, “No no no, this is not the same! This time around, both of you lit the fire together, the both of you, do you get it!”
Once he said that, Liang Chulin made a show of being earnest by nodding his head as well. “Uh-huh, Brother Liao is speaking the truth.”
As Liao Su had stated, the campus forum had exploded ever since You Liangxing walked off the basketball court with Kang Shengzhe in hand. Not only did the sticky thread from the military training which questioned their relationship resurface, a massive and new thread emerged as the times demanded it.
【AHHHHH they’re definitely in a relationship ah, on my life I swear, the both of them are definitely engaging in male homosexual practices!!!】
【They’re not even covering up their gay love at all, they’re essentially shouting that they couldn’t restrain themselves even if they tried!】
The great mass fervour from the military training incident had calmed down with much difficulty during the two months where You Liangxing was away from school, but it was stimulated again by the ‘husband and husband going home in a pair’ at the basketball court. Immediately, the topic rebounded and not only was there a surge of heat, the resulting commotion was even more lively than before.
Anything related to the pair’s relationship was discussed by the people in the forum, and just like that, the tide expanded and swept through the entire school.
【They’re being too obvious about this, but it makes it too easy to ship this CP!!】
【You-xuezhang and the little giant… I honestly hoped that they were in a forced marriage, but reality has proven that they’re both actually gay!! They’re actually gay!! The people who weren’t at the basketball don’t know this but, the gaze that You-xuezhang used on Kang Shengzhe can honestly be called doting ah!!】
【My You-xuezhang, the one who has shown off his handsomeness to the heavens and earth…】
【The people who have bitten into the two of them and refused to let go must be howling.】
【In my honest opinion, the two of them are definitely together.】
【Ahhhhhh could someone please pull up something about the pair to satisfy our craving!! Once I imagine the image of Kang Shengzhe and Yue-xuezhang pasted together with their face values… I can’t do this anymore, I really can’t do this anymore, I’m about to go insane!!】
Amidst the discussion, a mysterious thread by the name of【Reposted! The Secret Relationship of Spiritless and Stately】appeared, and the poster had shared a godly work from a small novel forum that happened to have the same character setting as You Liangxing and Kang Shengzhe. The people on the forum became more compelled and addicted the more they read on.
【My mother ah!! This Stately is way too cute!! Is it really not You-xuezhang!!】
【How did this first-rate, matchless novel come into existence.】
【Wait a minute, this character design is rather similar!! But to evaluate it a little… Yi!! Does Kang Shengzhe truly possess such a personality??? Is he that shameless???】
【I have never seen such an insane operation where someone lost a tooth after stealing a kiss, but then I cross-referenced it to the time where the little giant had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night…… emmmm, let me contemplate about this deeply for five minutes.】
【I highly suspect that the novel is an authentic record made by a well-informed source, Warrior-dada, please stand out bravely!! I want to give you a prize!!】
Liao Su laughed: “I don’t know who wrote that novel either, but they’re truly amazing. Right now, the two of you have been eaten up by the school to the point where they’re high off it. When you go back to school tomorrow, prepare yourself, because you’re going to be stared at!”
When the mysterious novel was mentioned, Liang Chulin’s entire body froze and the pupils in his eyes looked in all four directions in an arbitrary manner before he gave the skies a deep look. Thankfully, everyone had their own thoughts and they did not have the time to pay attention to him.
You Liangxing said faintly, “Are you done talking, if you’re done, eat.”
Liao Su smacked his lips, saying, “Fine fine fine, I’ll stop talking.”
When they were done with their meal, it was about to be ten o’ clock. Without waiting for You Liangxing to urge them back to school, Liao Su took the initiative to open his mouth: “You should be going back, don’t delay your proper business.”
The two words ‘proper business’ were gnawed out, causing You Liangxing to frown. “Quit with your farce.”
Liao Su chuckled, “Who’s speaking farce. What are you even thinking about, did your thoughts go crooked? I’m really talking about proper business.” As he said that, he gazed at Kang Shengzhe and continued, “Isn’t that so, God K?”
Kang Shengzhe gave him a slight smile in reply and the four of them separated into two different directions, waving their hands to bade farewell.
It was only after they sent Liao Su and Liang Chulin off in a car that You Liangxing asked: “What did he mean by proper business?”
Kang Shengzhe said: “Nothing really, it merely concerns the live broadcasting.”
Now that the live broadcast was mentioned, You Liangxing finally remember that Kang Shengzhe had a job. Since too many thing had happened in half a day, he had forgotten the matter of his live broadcasting cleanly. Now that he looked at the time, it was long past Kang Shengzhe’s usual broadcasting time.
Startled, You Liangxing asked: “Did you ask for a leave of absence again today?”
Kang Shengzhe laughed out loud, “Liang Liang, are you that concerned about me~?”
“Answer me,” You Liangxing insisted.
Kang Shengzhe pouted before his expression returned back to normal. “I didn’t ask for a leave, I have to broadcast when I go back. The circumstances for the past few days have been a little special. You might not believe it but, I’m currently fighting with all the anchors in MengMao.”
