Ding Xuerun was almost crushed by him. He fell on the wall next to the hallway. Lou Cheng pushed him against the wall along the way: “Why don’t you wear gloves?” He touched Ding Xuerun’s cold hand.

 

“I forgot since I was in such a rush.”

 

His sweater was pulled up over his shoulders. Lou Cheng’s palm was warm and his hand was rough and calloused from playing basketball. Ding Xuerun was itchy, so he grabbed his hand and stopped Lou Cheng’s movement, his eyes soft: “Is this how you acted in the exam today? Robbery?”

 

“Nonsense, I’ll only robbed you.” Lou Cheng placed his arms around his waist and kissed his earlobe. “Are you going to let me rob you or not? Say something to me.”

 

Ding Xuerun turned around and stared at him with his black eyes, completely ignoring the subject: “How did you do on the morning exam? What is the exam topic?”

 

“The second exam contains language, vocal music, physical appearance, and acting. This morning is acting sketch and I played the robber, the jewel robber!”

 

Lou Cheng was excited when talking about the exam. He definitely did a good job: “The exam’s theme is ‘auction.’ A few of us were divided into a group. A group of examinees didn’t even have much time to think before they started performing. Several examinees competed for bids, and one student stood in front of the stage to close the deal and became the host of the auction. Can he steal a play? I was better than him. I picked out an AK-47 and said robbery, then I robbed all of their play and money hahaha…”

 

Several examiners were indeed attracted by him.

 

Despite the fact that Ding Xuerun did not learn this, he could tell by listening to Lou Cheng that he has this talent and was born to undertake this type of work.

 

“The list hasn’t been released yet,” Lou Cheng explained, “but I received word that I passed the second exam, so I’ll return to Beijing in two months to take the third exam.” He stared intently into Ding Xuerun’s eyes, thinking to himself that he was growing closer and closer to him.

 

It is true that Ding Xuerun is in his arms and the other person is less than 1.8 meters. He always bends his head when he looks at him.

 

But Lou Cheng still looks up at him from time to time.

 

He is as good as a huge cold sculpture, with everyone standing on his feet, including himself.

 

Ding Xuerun was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. Because he knows how great this school’s major is and how much attention it receives. Only a dozen out of tens of thousands of applicants are accepted, and it is no exaggeration to say that only one in a million gets chosen: “Lou Cheng, are you going to act in the future? As an actor?”

 

Lou Cheng said no, “I have a habit of cleanliness and I don’t want to act in kissing scenes. Which director is willing to invite me to their film?” Even if he really wants to act, it is up to him to decide. He spends his own money on production and is determined not to shoot an ambiguous scene, let alone a kissing scene!

 

Ding Xuerun knew that he did not wish to be there. Lou Cheng wanted to be a Racer king in his dreams, so he would not become an actor just because he was admitted to the acting department. However, people’s ideas change over time, just as when he planned to establish a business but afterward wanted to be a lawyer.

 

Ding Xuerun didn’t continue the topic: “Then do you still want to study tonight?”

 

It was already nine o’clock in the evening. According to the past, he had to give Lou Cheng a make-up class until 11:30.

 

Lou Cheng shook his head and looked down at him: “Runrun, I’m a little hungry…”

 

Ding Xuerun guessed that he would be hungry, so he went out and got some ingredients after Lou Cheng went to sleep in the afternoon: “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

 

Lou Cheng shook his head once again, he was closely encircled between his chest and the wall. “Runrun, I’m hungry, can I eat you?” he asked, his body towering over him like a mountain.

 

Ding Xuerun let him touch his hands and feet. He started to get weak in the knees. He didn’t nod or shake his head, his hands stuck to his shoulders. Lou Cheng looked at him for a few seconds and directly picked him up without waiting for him to hesitate.

 

Ding Xuerun was already lying on the bed in the princess room on the first floor by the time he came to his senses. Ding Xuerun sleeps in this room on occasion. Lou Cheng would sneak downstairs and into the princess room every night when he slept in this room, and get into his bed and say he couldn’t sleep.

 

The room was very clean, and there were small blue daisies in the white vases on the bedside tables. Lou Cheng softly removed Ding Xuerun’s glasses after placing him on the bed, then slowly dropped his head to kiss him, even breathing with enticing meaning.

 

Ding Xuerun felt that he was getting closer and closer. Ding Xuerun was about to get up when he noticed Lou Cheng’s pajamas and hat had been turned over.

 

Lou Cheng stopped as a result of his wide hat covering his eyes. Ding Xuerun noticed his gray fuzzy ears dangling from his head. He couldn’t stop himself from laughing sideways because he thought Lou Cheng was adorable. His cheeks pressed against the snow-white pillow, and his eyes bent into the crescent moon when he smiled, making his cheeks stand out more.

 

Lou Cheng tore apart his pajamas, revealing his symmetrical and strong muscles, not knowing what Ding Xuerun was laughing at. “You still laugh? Don’t laugh!” he said, grabbing Ding Xuerun’s chin and forcing it straight. He hung his head and bit his lips fiercely.

 

However, this overbearing act lasted for less than a few minutes, and Ding Xuerun heard Lou Cheng’s stomach ‘grumbling.’

 

He had to get up to prepare dinner for Lou Cheng.

 

The second exam result was announced a few days later. Lou Cheng was not in Beijing at the time, but he received a message informing him that he had passed.

 

After that, he’ll have to wait for the third exam.

 

He proceeded to Nortel for another exam, which Old Dou was well aware of. Lou Cheng took so much time off to study for the exam. He was naturally worried about the student’s exam situation: “Despite the fact that you passed the second exam, you should not take it lightly. You must study diligently. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until you become a huge star in the future for the reporter to show up. Interview you and ask about your studies. Would you say you took and passed the college entrance exam with a score of 300? Or would you say that wild dogs stole your college entrance examination scores?”

 

Lou Cheng twitched his mouth and said that the head teacher was overthinking things. He was already thinking about what occurred once he became famous.

 

Little did he know that there had been heated discussions about him in the office.

 

The entire school was engulfed in deep snow in January, and the sky was still snowing. Looking out the window of the classroom building, it was a great expanse of whiteness.

 

The cleaning areas include the school gate, the major playground, and the tiny playground. Students are positioned in each part of the school to clean the snow. Each class has two students who are in charge of a small area that is rotated every day.

 

Students in third grade must sweep as well, but their responsibilities are less demanding than those in other grades.

 

Ding Xuerun and Lou Cheng were in charge of sweeping a small section of the playground on this particular day.

 

The playground is located near a hill. The abandoned boys’ dormitory is not far behind the hillside. Ding Xuerun is known for cleaning and working quickly. Although Lou Cheng does this rarely, he was not inferior. He rushes to finish it in case Ding Xuerun was tired.

 

It was nearly finished, and there was still time. Ding Xuerun reached into his school uniform’s pocket and quickly found the cigarette and lighter.

 

His throat was dry and itchy. He considered putting down the broom and then said, “Lou Cheng, I’ll go over there and have a cigarette. Will you stay here and wait for me?”

 

Ding Xuerun is well aware that Lou Cheng dislikes the smell of smoke, therefore he avoids smoking in front of him. Lou Cheng will scold him every time he smokes. They didn’t have that kind of relationship at the beginning. Lou Cheng scolded him for the smell and told him that he should clean up. Lou Cheng ultimately stopped criticizing him when they started dating. He just reminded him that it was bad for his health, and told him: “Smoke less, it’s bad for your health, and your lungs will turn black.”

 

Ding Xuerun did not listen: “I smoke less, it doesn’t matter.”

 

Lou Cheng knew that it was difficult to quit smoking and stopped talking about it on multiple occasions. Ding Xuerun always smoked behind his back, and he never gave him the chance to speak. Lou Cheng was the one who eventually took the initiative to buy him cigarettes: “The more expensive one will cause less harm to your body. That one of yours should not be smoked.”

 

Ding Xuerun wants for him to be left alone to smoke. Lou Cheng, of course, will not allow him to go alone. “Wait for me!” he said as he tossed the broom to the side of the snow slope.

 

Ding Xuerun walked to the blind spot of the monitoring. He took off his school uniform and tossed it to Lou Cheng, asking him to come over: “Just stand there. I’ll get to you later.”

 

Lou Cheng, who had one hand in his school uniform and the other in his pocket, had a gloomy expression on his face.

 

Ding Xuerun leaned against the wall to light a fire. He lit the cigarette with his hand around the lighter and took a puff of cigarette butts on his lips, the thick white smoke came out of his mouth.

 

Lou Cheng maintained his gloomy expression and stood by to watch. The cold air kept him from smelling the smoke as winter snow fluttered around him. Ding Xuerun’s skin was white as snow, and his demeanor was soft, causing Lou Cheng to be unable to look away.

 

Ding Xuerun flicked the soot from the cigarette with his fingertips and gazed at him with a serious expression: “Don’t look at me like that, look over there. Lou Cheng, keep an eye out for me.”

 

Lou Cheng, like his younger brother, was at his disposal. He turned his back gloomily and assisting him in looking around to check whether any teachers had passed by.

 

However, this location is so hidden that not even a bird can be seen.

 

The bell rang just as Ding Xuerun finished smoking. He rushed back to class, immediately pinched the cigarette, and wrapped it in his trouser pocket with a few tissues. When he came out, he forgot to take the breath refresher, and his mouth now smelled like smoke.

 

Lou Cheng handed him the school uniform: “It’s time for class. Let’s go from here.” He pointed to the hillside.

 

At the very least, it would save time by climbing up the hill.

 

Even though the hillside is completely covered in snow, certain steps and paths can still be seen.

 

Ding Xuerun was quick to answer. While climbing the hill, Lou Cheng held him in one hand. He walked steadily at all times, but while walking on the snow, he would slip down a few centimeters, making it a little difficult to climb.

 

They were holding hands when Ding Xuerun stepped on a patch of ice just as they were ready to climb up.

 

He slipped unexpectedly and rushed forward. Lou Cheng quickly took his hand and rolled into his arms-but they were already standing on the crest of a hill. One person slid resulting in a two-person fall.

 

Lou Cheng’s immediate reaction was to protect Ding Xuerun’s head. Ding Xuerun was pressed into his arms, and the two rolled down the snow hill quickly. Ding Xuerun had not expected such a thing to happen. Everything happened too quickly for him to respond, the two rolled to the bottom in a matter of seconds.

 

Ding Xuerun’s heart was racing and he was dizzy: “Lou Cheng…!” He screamed and opened his eyes. Lou Cheng’s eyelids were firmly closed and his eyelashes were profoundly dropping when he looked at him.

 

Ding Xuerun panicked: “Lou Cheng, don’t scare me.” He pushed Lou Cheng.

 

However, Lou Cheng still didn’t respond. His eyebrows and hair were covered with snow, and his breathing became very shallow. This really scared Ding Xuerun, thinking that Lou Cheng hit his head when he fell. His face turned pale, he immediately touched the phone, and shouted for help: “Is anyone there?”

 

“Shh.” Lou Cheng, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes. He smiled and whispered: “What are you shouting so loudly about? Do you want the entire school to come see us have an affair, baby?”
