Chapter 11

An Ning, Liang Shenghan, and Xiao Pang waited downstairs for about 15 minutes before Qin Weihang came down. Xiao Pang immediately raised his hand and called out to him: “Qin Weihang, here!” It was as if he was afraid that Qin Weihang would run off.

Qin Weihang was walking downstairs pretty fast. When he heard Xiao Pang calling him, he raised his head and looked over at him. Unexpectedly, he slowed down his pace. After coming over, Liang Shenghan asked him, “Why is the counselor looking for you?

“Advised me to move back to the dormitory.” Qin Weihang said simply.

An Ning was immediately a little concerned. He raised his head and glanced at Qin Weihang. He wanted to see some clues from his expression, but then he thought that it was Qin Weihang’s own business. Qin Weihang had also said that he was not used to living with others, so he probably wouldn’t move back. Thus, An Ning didn’t say anything. Instead, it was Xiao Pang who asked while walking, “Are you moving back then, ge?”

Qin Weihang was taken aback and looked at him, probably stunned by that affectionate ‘ge’.

Xiao Pang was a little embarrassed by Qin Weihang’s look: “By the way, I don’t know whether you are older or younger than me…”

Qin Weihang said nothing.

Xiao Pang let out an “haha” to save himself from the embarrassment. “But you are taller than me, so I subconsciously called you ge.”

Qin Weihang looked at the three of them. When his eyes landed on An Ning, he paused for a moment and said: “Then shouldn’t you all call me ge?”

Liang Shenghan said, “Don’t take advantage of us. Aren’t you also in XX year? What month are you born on?”

Qin Weihang said July.

Liang Shenghan was convinced and gave a thumbs-up: “Da-ge* is indeed the big bro!”

[*TN: Da-ge also means big bro/eldest brother in case you don’t know that lol.]

Xiao Pang immediately shouted confidently: “Weihang-ge!”

Qin Weihang had a complicated expression on his face. He said: “Let’s not, it sounds like the name of a sports car.”

Liang Shenghan laughed loudly and joked: “Your name is the name of the sports car, Bujiadi Weihang!”

An Ning was surprised: “Isn’t it Bujiadi Weilong?”

[*TN: I’m writing it in pinyin so that you can understand Shenghan’s joke. The car their talking about is Bugatti Veyron.]

Qin Weihang glanced at him.

Liang Shenghan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: “How long ago was that? The official name has long since changed to Weihang!”

An Ning said “Oh.” Not knowing what to do, he looked up at Qin Weihang, as if waiting for approval from an official. In the end, he also found it amusing. Qin Weihang wasn’t even a sports car.

They were chatting while walking until they arrived at the gate of the school. Xiao Pang said: “Oh yeah, you guys haven’t said what you want to eat?”

Liang Shenghan said: “I’m okay with anything. It’s up to you guys.” Then he looked towards An Ning and Qin Weihang.

An Ning and Qin Weihang said in unison: “Anything will do.”

An Ning felt that once he speaks, it wasn’t a bass loudspeaker that suppressed his voice, but Qin Weihang’s voice muffling his owns.

Xiao Pang even turned around and asked him: “What about you An Ning-ge?”

An Ning had to repeat: “I’m fine with anything.”

Finally, they went to a nearby McDonald’s. It was mainly because it was close, since they would get there within one stop. When they went in, Xiao Pang boldly told them to order whatever they wanted.

Liang Shenghan suggested: “How about the family bucket?”

An Ning corrected him: “(We) KFC are the one with family buckets.”

Qin Weihang followed from behind An Ning and was the last one to come in. He patted An Ning’s shoulder when he entered. An Ning turned his head, but before he could completely turn around, he felt Qin Weihang lower his head and said behind his ear, “You help me order. Same as yours.”

An Ning, with his head half-way turned, slightly stiffened. When Qin Weihang spoke behind him, whether he bowed his head or not, the place where he spoke was above his ears. If Qin Weihang lowered his head, it would be exactly where his ears were. Maybe because Qin Weihang’s voice was too low, An Ning felt that the sentence was sticking to his ears. He nodded, and Qin Weihang walked to an empty seat by himself and sat down.

When ordering food, An Ning ordered a burger and french fries. Qin Weihang asked him to order for him, so he ordered a Big Mac burger and large fries for him. When the Big Mac was ready, he stared at the box two times the regular size. He thought to himself, that should be enough for him to be full.

The three came back with their meals. Liang Shenghan sat directly diagonal of Qin Weihang. Xiao Pang sat opposite of Liang Shenghan, which was next to Qin Weihang. An Ning took the last seat, which was across from Qin Weihang.

As soon as Xiao Pang sat down, he turned and asked Qin Weihang: “Ge, didn’t you notice that those two girls sitting across from you were photographing you just now?”

Qin Weihang put down his phone and took the Big Mac from An Ning’s tray, then said: “I noticed.”

Xiao Pang widened his eyes and let out a “wow”—he was shocked by Qin Weihang’s calm reaction. He thought, was this really the daily life of a handsome guy?

An Ning hadn’t noticed that someone secretly photographed Qin Weihang while he was ordering. He turned and glanced at the table behind him, but saw that the people were long gone.

Xiao Pang asked Qin Weihang: “Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

Qin Weihang did not feel like talking about this topic: “It’s not like it was the first time.”

Liang Shenghan tore open the ketchup and rolled his eyes at Xiao Pang in his heart. Back then, didn’t we also stare at Qin Weihang when he entered the classroom. Why is he speaking like we didn’t do the same thing? But he was also really curious, so he asked Qin Weihang: “Do you often encounter people who take sneak shots of you or want to take photos with you?” As he spoke, he scanned the school grass sitting diagonal to him and clicked his tongue. Those eyes, that nose bridge, and that forehead…it was too unique. The closer you look, the more impactful his visuals were. He couldn’t help but admit defeat. “I think you’re too handsome.” These corny words easily spilled out of his mouth. God knows it was the first time that he praised someone of the same gender.

Xiao Pang nodded vigorously from the side.

Qin Weihang opened the lid of the Big Mac, lowered his eyes and smiled. He said with a somewhat nasally voice, “Thank you.”

Look at that, Liang Shenghan thought, a real handsome guy doesn’t care about how handsome he looks.

Xiao Pang suddenly asked An Ning, “An Ning-ge, don’t you feel a huge pressure from sitting across from him?”

An Ning choked while drinking his cola, and involuntarily raised his head to look at Qin Weihang. Qin Weihang also raised his head and looked over, with a kind of harmless and natural oppressiveness in his eyes. It was as if he was asking: Do you?

An Ning only felt that he was too close, and the light in McDonald’s was unbearable. It gave off the effect of summer, making Qin Weihang’s eyes deeper and brighter. Qin Weihang’s eyes were not the kind that were sunken in. His eyes were born with a compelling youthfulness. They were bright and energetic, and will appear deep. Perhaps it was because both the shape of his eyes and eyebrow matched too well. The ink-like sharp eyebrows, paired with a pair of bright eyes, made his eyes give off a very deep and powerful feeling.

The McDonald’s table was too narrow that it really makes people afraid to look directly at him. An Ning lowered his head to gnaw on the hamburger and answered Xiao Pang’s question through physical action.

With his head down, he could still see Qin Weihang’s hand. His right hand was on the table, scrolling on his phone. The table was too small; Qin Weihang took up half of the table by just laying his hand on it.

Qin Weihang was holding the Big Mac in his left hand, which was wearing a diving watch. An Ning noticed that the wrist wearing the black watch was tied with a very thin red wristband, but the other wrist had nothing around it. He saw such an asymmetrical appearance for the first time, but felt that it was suitable for Qin Weihang. He was indeed a half-natural and half-trendy guy.

But seeing Qin Weihang holding the Big Mac with one hand, he realized that it was pretty small. How was this a Big Mac? It was not huge at all! Qin Weihang’s physique needed to eat two to be full.

Qin Weihang lowered his head and took a small bite while scrolling on his phone. Xiao Pang asked next to him, “Ge, do you like McDonald’s Big Mac?”

An Ning coughed and wanted to say that it was not that Qin Weihang liked it, but that it was him who randomly ordered it…

Qin Weihang said: “I don’t mind it.”

“I have never eaten a Big Mac,” Xiao Pang said, “I think it’s too big, and I’m afraid I’ll get tired of eating it. Don’t you?”

Qin Weihang stopped to look at the burger in his hand and said, “It’s all right.”

Xiao Pang was especially wasteful with ketchup when he eats french fries. Each fries must be stirred until blood-red before he eats it, thus, two packets of ketchup were used up. He planned to go to the front counter and ask for a few more packets, but then Qin Weihang threw his ketchup to him and said, “I won’t be eating this, you can eat it.”

An Ning thought it was all over—he doesn’t like french fries at all. He just randomly ordered it, yet how can he make the worst choice?
