Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 31: "Do you have to eat it like that?"

The three of them sat there each with a lollipop in hand watching the view. This was the perfect image of youth and friendship that would arouse the feeling of nostalgia in people.

It would have remained so if it weren’t for the appearance of another spoiling this harmonious picture. A picture one would have thought it would last long.

Bi Yu trotted over with an extra juice box and stood in front of the three boys her gaze on Luo Muchen.

"Mu Mu, why are you sitting here? I have been looking for you everywhere," she said before glancing at Qie Xieling sucking on a twirl lollipop that was as long as his middle finger. Her lips twitched in disdain and Qie Xieling looked at her with a gaze that seemed to ask ’what the fuck are you looking at’.

"Do you have to eat it like that?" she said and the two boys looked in his direction.

Qie Xieling chortled showing his tongue that had been stained green. "Like what?" he said before licking the lollipop his intention to disgust her. "Like this?" he asked his tongue swirling around the tip of the lollipop.

Believe me when I say his intentions were pure. Fine pure in the sense that he purely wanted to disgust Bi Yu but to some adults, he looked especially vulgar. As a kid who knew nothing about sex and hadn’t even had his first glimpse of adult content, his intentions shouldn’t be questioned.

Bo Ailun found this amusing so he laughed his ass off while Bi Yu stomped her foot and dry heaved. Luo Muchen however caught himself staring longer than he should.

His gaze couldn’t help but glance at the glossy pink lips tinged with a light green colour. The way he swallowed the entire lollipop made Luo Muchen’s heart jolt for some reason.

He honestly didn’t know what was wrong with him. When he saw Qie Xieling choke because he pushed the lollipop too deep into his throat his ears felt hot. Worried he leaned forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

Qie Xieling wiped the tears at the corner of his red-rimmed eyes while laughing at himself. "I am fine," he said and Bi Yu mocked him even more,

"Thats what you get for being so disgusting. Anyway Mu Mu, I brought you this."

Luo Muchen’s brow arched as he said, "Didn’t I tell you to stop calling me that?"

Qie Xieling draped his arm over Bo Ailun’s shoulder in a relaxed posture and said, "Ohoo class president. You and your deskmate are so close that she even brings you juice. We know you call each other Mu Mu and Yu Yu in private so why change it in public."

Bo Ailun couldn’t help but chime in, "It’s always Mu Mu will you help me with this question or Mu Mu do you want to go to lunch with me hahahaha."

From the way they spoke this wasn’t the first time that they had teased Luo Muchen and Bi Yu but today something was different. Luo Muchen didn’t like it at all. He would normally ignore it but today he was feeling very irritable.

"The class president is acting all shy now," said Qie Xieling with a taunting smile poking at the hive to see what would come out. Luo Muchen never reacted but Bi Yu would blush and toss something at Qie Xieling to make him keep quiet.

Today though Luo Muchen got up while muttering, "Ridiculous."

Qie Xieling watched him leave with an amused smile. "Xieling, you are such a jerk you know that?" yelled Bi Yu before running after Luo Muchen.

Bo Ailun lay on the bench with his head resting on Qie Xieling’s lap while saying, "Why did he get so mad?"

Qie Xieling didn’t seem to hear his question. He just glanced down at him and asked, "Do I look like a fucking pillow... Ah?!"

Teacher Wong was passing by and hit him with a rolled-up camp brochure. "I will be talking to your father when we get back," he said before walking away.

Qie Xieling, "..."

Damn, nothing good happened each time he made fun of the class president. Could it be that his luck was linked to Luo Muchen? It seemed like if Luo Muchen was happy then nothing bad would happen to him.

Luo Muchen seemed so upset with him that he didn’t see him for the rest of the day. At most, he did see him but he was so far away from him that Qie Xieling was starting to think that he no longer had a camping buddy.

After dinner, Qie Xieling was lying in his tent with Bo Ailun watching a live stream of his dad’s game when Luo Muchen finally showed his face.

When he entered he found the two of them lying on Qie Xieling’s sleeping bag with their heads pressed together watching something intriguing.

Seeing this he felt like a claw was scratching at the pit of his stomach. He swallowed down his emotions and said, "Lin Lin, come with me. I want to show you something." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Qie Xieling who was biting his thumb nail while watching looked behind him and when he saw it was Luo Muchen he said, "I thought you were no longer my camping buddy. I was ready to have Chubs move in."

Bo Ailun who was minding his own business felt a cold chill making him shiver. He rubbed his arm and pulled at Qie Xieling’s tracksuit jacket to wear it but before he could even put one arm in it was suddenly grabbed from his hand.

Luo Muchen passed it to Qie Xieling and said, "You wear it... it’s a bit chilly outside."

Qie Xieling looked at Luo Muchen a little puzzled but he still got up while putting it on.

"Class president, this better be worth it," he said and Bo Ailun who also wanted to watch the good show stood up as well to follow.

Luo Muchen didn’t stop him though he did wish he didn’t come. It was rare for him to spend time with Qie Xieling without Bo Ailun being around.

Luo Muchen didn’t take him far. He asked him to sit at the picnic table and Qie Xieling who was so confused sat with his legs on either side of the bench.

Luo Muchen saw this sitting style and couldn’t help but copy Qie Xieling. He was always the type to sit properly but this time he sat like him with his knees touching Qie Xieling’s.

Qie Xieling’s brows arched seeing how the class president was sitting but he didn’t say anything about it. He flicked the tip of his nose with his forefinger while asking, "What is it that you want me to see?"

Bo Ailun was also curious. He lay his head on the picnic table while looking at the class president eagerly. Luo Muchen gestured with his fingers in the direction to look while taking out his cell phone to record.
