Chapter 3 - It Turns Out That My Love Rival Isn't My Love Rival

Nan Su Li : Ohohohohoho~ Finally we are on break! Happy! Look, the feast that my mom made 【Uploaded picture】

Mother Aidu 12138 : Looks yummy(｢･ω･)｢

It’s not like that : Quietly watching you all flaunt while eating instant noodles with tangyuan. 1

Mother Aidu 12138 : instant ramen with tangyuan (ﾉ ○Д ○)ﾉ What is this dark cuisine?! 2

prince yeya: …..What the heck is this bowl of black stuff?!

It’s not like that : (cover face) That’s probably because I put too much soy sauce…..

Lin Pointy Brows: Good evening, everyone.

Eccentric Ultimate Gong : Yo, evening.

Countless flowers bloom along the pathway: Evening, did you just reach home?

Lin Pointy Brows: ╯﹏╰ Yeah, my school is too far from my house. What’s even sadder is that when I arrived home, my parents already ate. And now you guys are here showing off delicious food.

Mother Aidu 12138 : 2333333333 then do you want a bowl of instant noodles with tangyuan

It’s not like that : come come come! Share the bowl with me!

It’s been said that chatterboxes ought to die : Brave soul, finish this bowl of noodles. We’ll see you in the netherworld!

Lin Pointy Brows: ………….

Lin Pointy Brows: Erm, I suddenly remember something so I will just share it with everyone (⌒▽⌒)

Mother Aidu 12138 : 23333 forcefully changing the subject

It’s not like that : And so this bowl of noodles filled with my love and creativity is shunned like this.

Lin Pointy Brows: ….Actually, it’s not like we’re really turning up our noses at it…..Anyways, let me share what happened to me on the train.

Lin Pointy Brows: So today, while I was going home on the train, I was caught off guard with a mouthful of dog food (cover face)

Lin Pointy Brows: Today, I met two super good-looking people when I went home on the train! They looked like a painting! How do I say it? They give off the aura of an energetic little sun and a cold moon.

You’re not a fish, you’re not me: Men?

Lin Pointy Brows: Yes! They were both male!

Lazy people naturally have their ways : !!!!!

Nan Su Li : How did the two guys show off their affections for one another? Give us details!

The bottle that crossed the river : It blew up me who was lurking!

Came down from heaven through a current : Comment above +1!

Heron dragging an axe : Okay, calm down. Let the girl speak

Lin Pointy Brows: Thanks (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) Because it’s summer break, so I lugged big luggages, small luggages, all sorts of luggages up the train. Just as I was moving my luggage and working up a sweat, suddenly someone said, “Let me help you.” I’m not the type of person to trouble others. Moreover, I could do it myself so I didn’t need to trouble others. Thus I raised my head to say, “Thanks, no need.”

As soon as I raised my head, I froze. All that I could think of, all that ran through my brain was: OMGGGG! How can there be such a good-looking person!!!!!!

At the time, my face flushed beet red and I couldn’t speak a single word.

Good thing Little Sun didn’t say anything, and just naturally came over to help me carry my luggage.

(Oh and! Because of this move, Little Sun’s white shirt rose up so I saw his V-line! Little Sun has abs! So seductive!)

Just at this time, Little Moon came out from the breakroom. He came over to help me move my luggage so that Little Sun could go drink tea.

He really coaxed Little Sun to go as if he was coaxing a child.

Honestly, at the time, I wished that I could be invisible.

Eccentric Ultimate Gong : A man with a v-line and abs? I like.

Countless flowers bloom along the pathway: Same.

You’re not a fish, you’re not me: Speaking of which, Pointy Brows was particularly starry-eyed and fangirling over Little Sun. The part about Little Moon was so short.

Lin Pointy Brows: Because I really like Little Sun. How to say it? Little Sun is the type who’s extremely sunshine-y and clean.

Okay, okay! Let me finish telling the story first.

Lin Pointy Brows: So as I was riding on the train, I felt so lucky that I was sitting across Little Sun and Little Moon.

Soon though, I didn’t feel lucky anymore. Because Little Moon was truly too….dutiful wife and good mother.

As soon as Little Sun moved his left hand, Little Moon would conjure up a bunch of snacks like he was performing magic. As soon as Little Sun moved his right hand, he would conjure up toys such as a game console like magic again.

Honestly, it was to the point that I kinda suspected Little Moon to be the almighty Doraemon.

I wasn’t sure at the time, because I kept my head low the whole time without daring to think much about it. Afterall, it’s extremely impolite to stare at others or speculate about their sexuality. Only when I didn’t hear any more sounds from across did I dared to lift my head and move it. (I’m still young, I don’t want to get cervical spondylosis.)

Then I saw the situation across from me. At that moment I can confirm that Little Moon likes Little Sun. Because no one would use that kind of gaze to look at someone they don’t love.

How do I describe it? That kind of fixated, max tenderness gaze, as if nothing else existed in the world.

Little Sun doesn’t know, because he fell asleep.

Sigh╯﹏╰ I want to find a boyfriend who would look at me like that when I fall asleep.

After 9, before dawn : First, you need to have a boyfriend. Then you can make this kind of request.

Mother Aidu 12138 : The sour smell of an unrequited love is so strong….

It’s been said that chatterboxes ought to die : 23333 commenter above, that’s enough

Nan Su Li : I don’t know why but that sounds quite sad.

Countless flowers bloom along the pathway: Because it’s already not easy to meet a person you really like in your life, let alone one who loves you deeply and looks at you like you are a precious treasure.

Lin Pointy Brows: Now I feel sad….Sometimes I think that maybe I won’t be able to love anyone deeply in my life, nor will anyone love me deeply as well.

You’re not a fish, you’re not me: Now I feel sad because of what you all are saying.

Eccentric Ultimate Gong : What are you all being sad about! I say that we don’t play that pretentious “want to love but dare not to love” thing

Nan Su Li: The rare melancholic atmosphere is once again ruined.๑乛v乛๑

Countless flowers bloom along the pathway: Ultimate Gong is the expert of ruining the atmosphere for twenty years running.

【Original Poster】 Bei Gu: Good evening everyone! It’s unusually quiet today→_→

Lin Pointy Brows: Male god you are here!

The bottle that crossed the river : Just popping up⊙▽⊙ 3

Came down from heaven through a current : A lurker has submerged

Heron dragging an axe : Maybe it’s because it’s the break that everybody’s out and about. 4

【Original Poster】 Bei Gu: Oh, that’s possible. Btw, I can’t understand my love rival anymore.

It’s not like that : What?

【Original Post】 Bei Gu: It’s summer break, and my parents are off on a trip. So there wasn’t anyone at home who knew how to cook. So I was thinking of just staying at school during break. Then x asked if I wanted to go to his house and play, he’s really good at cooking.

It’s not like that : And then you went?

【Original Poster】 Bei Gu: Yeah. It covered food and accommodation, and provided entertainment and games. It was way better than staying by myself in the dormitory.

Lin Pointy Brows: Male god you….

It’s been said that chatterboxes ought to die : Too shameless

prince yeya: Bei Gu’s integrity is shattered all over the floor

Countless flowers bloom along the pathway: Bei Gu still has integrity?

Lazy people naturally have their ways: I just want to ask if anything happened with the love rival.

After 9, before dawn : same

【Original Poster】 Bei Gu: Nothing much. Due to personal reasons, we took the train to x’s house. We also helped a girl move her luggage, then I fell asleep after eating and drinking.

Countless flowers bloom along the pathway: Does anyone feel that this is familiar…?

Lin Pointy Brows: Little Sun!?

Eccentric Ultimate Gong: Shocking news!

Mother Aidu 12138 : I was so shook that I dropped my melon!

Lazy people naturally have their ways : ! What is this situation!

Heron dragging an axe : ……

Nan Su Li: 671: [email protected] ┝┈┈┌ I was so shook that I keyboard smashed!

……

【Original Poster】 Bei Gu: Why do I feel like there’s suddenly a lot of people? I’m not going to talk anymore, x just finished cooking and is calling me.

Bai Li Yan Xiao 5 : What did I miss?!

Yao Yao not pixie: I only went to wash my hair! And I actually missed this kind of tea!

Ah Ming who loves MC Gongs: (▼皿▼#)

Heron dragging an axe: I think that everyone should calm down. There will be a continuation.

Lazy people naturally have their ways: Oh. Waiting for the continuation.

A few days later.

【Original Poster】 Bei Gu: I realized….my love rival isn’t actually my love rival.

Author has something to say:

Not going to drag it any longer๑乛v乛๑ Will try to finish this in the next two days.

Kame: When you finish translating this instead of your cat novel…. Daed: :’)
